## Status

### Fighting Style

Close Combat + Stealth

**Toshiro Fujin** otherwise known as **Cypher** (サイファー, *Saifā*) is an independent C-Rank villain.

His original plan was to upgrade himself with as much technology as possible to become the most powerful person in the world.

## Appearance

Toshiro's appearance is quite distressing to those he meets. His skin is black with yellow markings resembling his own bones, and deep yellow irises. His body appears emaciated and deformed. When he does activate his quirk, his body ripples and breaks- visually similar to how a video game glitch would appear. His movements become sudden and fast, with 'echoes' following each one. The most notable part of his anatomy however is the dark cube located inside his chest cavity- this is his true form, a black box that acts as his brain.

## Personality

Toshiro is an angry, psychotic, obsessed and hate-fueled person who has always felt that his quirk was flawed and corrupt, and by extension, himself. Thus due to the nature of his quirk, Toshiro was obsessed with taking and controlling all forms of sophisticated technology he could find. Vain and conceited, Toshiro deeply hated other quirk users for being "perfect" creations and saw them as inferior compared to him despite this.

Toshiro doesn't find Pro Heroes to be threats (even though he's been defeated many times in the past). He believes that their reputations are exaggerated, although he eventually developed a hatred for them. It is evident from Toshiro's tendencies to dismiss and cover up both his own defeats and unforeseen turns of events in his enemy's favor, with disdain and assurance that it would be of no hindrance to him in the long run; that he suffered from a superiority complex.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Toshiro, before anything else, can perform the art of assassination better than the average killer, able to dispatch his victims without so much of a struggle or even having to be near them and cover his tracks. The ways he does this ranges from something complex and of high finesse like mastery of stealth, or strategically and tactically planned scenarios, to something more simple yet effective like extreme speed (via Black Box) to overwhelm his targets.

Toshiro is also an expert on virtual reconnaissance and tracking, able to easily find anyone and anything, create convincing deceptions to lure his prey in, prepare well-thought-out traps to effectively capture them, and kill said prey on the spot in the blink of an eye. He can and does commit crime- taking various dangerous jobs in exchange for large sums of money.

Although he's not a talented fighter, he's unmatched in his ability to evade, capture, and eliminate.

### Quirk

**Black Box** (ブラックボックス, *Burakkubokkusu*): Toshiro's quirk grants him a black cube that acts as a substitute for his brain. It behaves how any typical mind would; being able to process information, record memories, etc. and by all extensive purposes, Toshiro is human. This is his complete form however, Toshiro is unable to influence the outer world simply using the box. He can however generate a electromagnetic field around himself that grants Toshiro a physical body- completely indistinguishable from bipedal human anatomy, and allowing him to interact with the world.

Because Toshiro is made from an electromagnetic field however he's able to distort his body in order to emulate electronic data. This allows him to directly interface with machines, robots, computers and other devices such as cars, phones, refrigerators or any other object that runs on electricity. When he does this, his body appears to glitch in and out of reality.

So long as Toshiro is connected to his Black Box, he can theoretically travel through cyberspace as far as he wants. The moment he gets disconnected he's immediately brought back to the Black Box, while also causing a significant amount of pain and the sudden cut-off. Toshiro can access any device connected to him and enter its mainframe, even utilizing this to take over supercomputers from the inside.
