Cipher

### **Killer Style**

Totally cyberpunk, with an upgrade. I always wear my super high-tech LED bodysuit that changes color upon contact with other objects. Quite mesmerizing.

### **Monster Quirk**

I am so used to living among flesh mortals that I often forget my own strength and can easily hurt others. It is not my intention to cause harm, and I frequently regret it afterwards. Also hate it when one of my parts breaks down and causes me to act weird.

### **Pet**

I am experimenting with creating a cyborg dog. I had a real dog, but so many of her organs started to fail that becoming a cyborg was the only way to save her, just like me.

### **Favorite Activity**

Going to futuristic nightclubs and dancing. I prefer dubstep and techno music.

### **Biggest Pet Peeve**

When one of my mechanical parts breaks down and needs replacement. I hate emergency surgery! Also hate it when I accidentally break something.

### **Least Fav Subject**

I am a good swimmer, but nevertheless swim class makes me nervous. I am scared of water somehow damaging my mechanical parts. I know they are designed to not be affected by water, but I have seen so many robots go on the fritz in that pool.

### **Favorite Food**

I no longer need food, I am sustained by electricity. Though I do have to regularly take vitamin supplements to replenish what few parts of me that are still flesh.

## Appearance

Cipher has pale skin, black and blue hair in dreadlocks, and blue eyes.

Her fashion choice is "cyberpunk", with her own futuristic twist, an LED bodysuit capable of projecting any image, usually rainbow colors that change and ripple with touch.

## Personality

Cipher is friendly, but a bit air-headed from having amnesia. She behaves a bit distantly, struggling to remember the identities of who she knows.

## Abilities

### Superstrength

Being a cyborg, she has mechanical superstrength, but doesn't fully realize it (having forgotten about it), until something happens for her to use it.

### Immortality

Considering that a majority of her body was replaced by a mechanical part that can be replaced when damaged, she has the potential to live perpetually.

## Relationships

### Family

She believes herself to be the only child of Dr. Savoire.

### Friends

She doesn't have many friends (basically none at all), but she is amiable towards all.

### Romance

She is dating Zack Wukong.

However, she does not realize that her "father" keeps a close eye on her love life, making sure she does not fall for anyone who is shorter-lived than her, trying to protect her from the heartbreak of her sweetheart dying. Thankfully, her boyfriend Zack is also immortal.

## History

Cipher was not always a cyborg. As a matter of fact, she was born as Cecilia Foreman, the only and well loved child of Gregory and Alice Foreman, two ordinary humans. And Cecelia appeared to be perfectly ordinary as well. At least, until she had reached 10 years of age, when she was diagnosed with a rare disease, a disorder that caused all of her major organs systems to deteriorate, which would eventually lead to a premature death. This news struck her parents especially hard, as they had wished for a child for years on end, and after six miscarriages, finally had a child, only to find out she was to die early. Desperate for any solution, they reached out to a bioengineer, whom they had heard had prolonged his own life by replacing failing body parts with mechanical ones. The bioengineer, Dr. Savoire, agreed, but only to replace organs once they fail. They did not have long to wait. Five days after Cecelia’s 11th birthday, her heart gave out, and was the first part to be replaced by Dr. Savoire’s bionic version. Bit, by bit, year after year, her body shut down, only to be revived again by a mechanized replacement. With Dr. Savoire’s aid, the Foremans were able to spend many happy years with their daughter. But the treatments had an unforeseen side effect. Unforeseen, that is, by the Foremans, but not Dr. Savoire. This side effect was that Cecelia was now virtually immortal, her aging functions greatly slowed by the operations. Over the years the Foremans began to notice this, but they did not care. After all, how wonderful was it that their only daughter, dying before, would now live forever? But immortality does come with a cost, and that cost is to watch your loved ones age and die around you. And so did Cecelia’s parents, greatly aged while their daughter remained a teen. Their passing brought a time of great grief for Cecelia, who was now being cared for by Dr. Savoire. Daily she would visit her parents’ graves, thinking back on all the fond memories. That is, until her brain failed as well. It started with slight amnesia, a second or two gone, then grew into whole days missing. She started to have blackouts, losing her sight and speech. Dr. Savoire was left with no choice but to replace her brain as well. But the cost was all her memory. Of her parents, her past, her very personality. With this new tech brain, she was in a sense a baby in an adult body. With no memory of her former life, she began a new one. She took on the name Cipher, and adopted Dr. Savoire as her father, simply by assuming he was since he always took care of her. She was sent back to school to relearn what was lost. She still had some of her old habits, reflexively visiting her parents’ graves, though no longer knowing why, as they were now strangers to her. This behavior saddened Dr. Savoire, as he had grown fond of Cipher, and was reluctant to put her through the grief of losing her true parents all over again. He tried to make excuses for his behavior, thinking that in a sense he was her father too, having created so much of her new body himself, and that it gave him the right to protect her from such things. After all, the Foremans had made him swear that no matter what happens to them, to keep their daughter alive and well.
