Cyran was a member of a small freedom fighter group on old mercury, (Year 2380) fighting against the tyrannical government on the planet. It was going very poorly, until Cyran’s current wife Adonis managed to succeed in making a new, experimental technology. It involved transferring a human’s essence and soul into a small container that could be input into a robotic body, which Cyran did without a second thought. This lead to their resistance almost immediately turning the tide, and toppling the tyrants, but upon attempting to be returned to his old body, it had deteriorated past the point where it could be used. After it was determined he wouldn’t be able to be in a human body again, Adonis began programming his new body to feel as human as possible to him, meaning he experiences all human emotions, including pain, sadness, happiness, etc. Adonis built in the option for him to disable emotions, but it requires a second person to activate. His essence is stored in the glowing, rectangular spot on his chest, which is what keeps him alive. After mercury, he acted as a planetary guard for the new leaders, which lasted for another 85 years, until mercury was slowly becoming too hot due to its close proximity to the sun. Everyone was evacuated off world, including Cyran, who had donned a new name, Tower. He began wandering the universe with Adonis as a duo for hire for hit jobs and bodyguarding, going through about 13 different frames in the process. Eventually, around  2547, Cyran's wife passed from old age, leaving him without her guidance. Shortly after this time, he joined an intergalactic group of bounty hunters, where he met some of his closer friends to this day. Since the majority of the crew were robots, he didn’t have to worry about age taking it’s toll on  his friends. He stuck with this crew for about 85 years, until a mission gone wrong left half his crew dead, and the rest scattered throughout the galaxy. As he would later find out, the bounty on their heads had attracted the attention of a greedy corporation, and they managed to cash in on it. Tower ended up ejecting himself and two of his crewmates out into space to land on the nearest planet, which happened to be Galv. The trio were separated on entry, leaving Tower on his own to join Manumit.

## Ideals.

Tower, like Anavoise, is an anarchist and fights for Manumit against corporations. Second in command to Anavoise, he's his right hand man and the two are best friends. As far as Tower's ideals for attacking corporations, he fights to give the lower-tier members a better life, refusing to hurt the common worker.

## Extra Information.

Tower is a sentient, ex human inside a machine, which causes some interesting interactions when he's faced with choices. The main example would be the encounter with Amada Freightman of DiVari. Damien injured her, and Tower was left with her while Bani was chewing out Rabbit. His programming would have had him finish off Amada, due to her officer title. However, the human in him fought against that, trying to get him to not attack someone who was already down, and also a well liked member of the planet. Both of these sides clashing caused him to simply stand and stare, not giving into any side of the argument.

Tower's body being over a full ton gives him some obvious attributes. While he is extremely durable and strong, his body is very slow unless he has a jet suit on at the time.

## How SHPJ's work.

Tower is one of an estimated 8 different SHPJs in existence, all of them being close friends. The process to create a frame is known only by the robots themselves, meaning the only way to make more is for them to create them theirselves. It involves removing a persons soul from their physical body, and placing it in a small but durable, specially created shell. (EI-The small rectangle on his chest.) This allows the soul itself to be replaced and moved between different frames and shells, should the opportunity arrive. All SHPJ's are programmed before being activated, meaning they can change their personality if someone else manages to alter them. However, this is protected by needing two different person's fingerprints on the unit itselfs frame to gain access to their control panel.
