PROJECT CLYNE

**CLYNE-239** is a cybernetically enhanced criminal and defector from PROJECT. He is a one-of-a-kind, unfinished cyborg with minimal armour in exchange for maximal punching strength via his hydraulically powered bionic arms. Furthermore, the chains on his gauntlets act as a restraining system due to their nigh impenetrable alloy. He comes from Valenthia and was a renowned rebel who fought Valenthia's government, crossing paths with Archibald Maximus.

He is known for his lack of patience, preferring to confront battles full on without regard for tactics or methods. This proved to be his undoing, as he was assassinated only three days after escaping in a futile attempt to return to Valenthia and remake it in his own image.

## Biography

### Background

Raised in one of Valenthia's lesser quarters, Clydemoore of Nuvakaboughne has come to symbolize the darker side of the Great City. As a boy, his ability to root out hidden sorcery caught the attention of the notorious mageseekers, who eventually imprisoned him for turning those same powers against them. Having now broken free, Sylas lives as a hardened revolutionary, using the magic of those around him to destroy the kingdom he once served... and his band of outcast mage followers seems to grow by the day.

No matter what, he became an easy candidate for PROJECT and has soon become a cyborg, owing to Frazier Lashley.

### PROJECT-G/NEX War

During the war, CLYNE-239 was an experimental creation that turned rogue, viciously assaulting his creators to death with his new superhuman strength and reflexes. This explains his shirtless appearance, as the megacorporation planned to completely encase his chest in sleek robotic armour, while his face is upgraded with optical implants and enhanced hearing.

As a result, CLYNE was placed into custody as Muldoon Lundgren is unable to dispose him due to his ferocity, and his prototype state. Though despite being a prototype cyborg, CLYNE is perfectly capable for combat, though with limitations.

##### Going All Out

The rebellious CLYNE became online for the first time, with no pauses or limits. This occurred during the operation in Obrinia, revealing that he was imprisoned someplace in Obrinia's forests, his gauntlets itching to break anything they came across, especially fleshlings.

Fortunately for him, he went outside and witnesses a warzone for his fists to pummel any soldier that comes in his way.

##### Day One

Upon seeing the opportunity to escape, CLYNE finds himself swiftly slaying the guards and soldiers stationed on his lab, striking his way out of the chambers with ferocity. Despite being challenged by Command Line troops, he uses his uncanny speed and strength to overwhelm them and prevent gunfire from piercing his bullet-resistant flesh. He also discovered that his gauntlets and lower limbs are bulletproof, which he used to protect himself from prolonged fire when shot in the front. The lab was known as Hangar 09. He then sadistically taunts and brutally murders the hangar's head in order to use his prints to open the door to his release.

Muldoon Lundgren was able to learn about CLYNE's urgent destruction to which he used the chance to deliver his message to the CEO, declaring that he will fight his OWN war, starting with the current forest he currently stumbles in, and seize Valenthia from PROJECT's control so that he can turn his home into his version of a "Perfect Valenthia". Muldoon was furious, and he instructed any of their military troops to kill him on sight, and anyone who proves his body was destroyed will be paid, with the requirement being a photograph of CLYNE's destroyed cybernetic body. CLYNE is unfazed by the fact that he is the target of a global manhunt and begins to walk towards the battlefield.

##### Day 2.0

After destroying as many PATROL-05 and PL14 droids as he can, CLYNE proceeds to topple a slew of Command Line platoons by forcibly ambushing their formations and viciously assaulting them to death with his gauntlets, only hijacking armoured vehicles because he lacks the heavy weaponry to deal with the Command Line's tanks. As he rushes through the forest, he topples a CS1 ATV, further weakening the megacorporation's invading might and indirectly assisting RUBICORE forces. Not caring for stealth, he was soon discovered by the Command Line forces and actively searched him through special teams as they realise he has been interfering for reckless reasons.

At some point, the media snapped a picture of him and soon grow infamous. The internet scrambled for answers as to why does he attack PROJECT and G/NEX alike, sources even confirmed that he traded blows with VI-516 and their fight ended in a stalemate.

##### Day 3.0

The Rebellious CLYNE, continues to utilise the EQUALISER gauntlets to assault anyone who stands in his way, regardless of whether they are affiliated with PROJECT, G/NEX, or RUBICORE. The megacorporation was so sick of his rampage that they sent every conceivable search team as they continued their frantic assault of Obrinia, causing CYLNE to hide away from his foes as he knew GRANDIOSE, SHADOW, and LANTERN-000 were dispatched into the forest to aid the Command Line. CLYNE went dark to compose his plans in a digital app, explaining how he will liberate his home and transform it into a new "Perfect Valenthia" where mages and magic thrive.

Not long after, CLYNE quickly escapes from his hiding spot, a derelict FT05-PRJ tank after being spotted by Command Line soldiers, forcing him to flee and save the written text he has on his digital app that is similar to Notepad. This was done through his A.I that allowed his body to use his eyes like a smartphone to utilise apps and commands.

He can only run and fight so far. CLYNE realises that his deeds since three days ago have only gotten him into difficulty, prompting him to flee as fast as he could to avoid being kidnapped and destroyed. PROJECT has been tracking his location with minimal effort, causing him to run in the woodlands of Obrinia in the most erratic manner possible, hoping to prevent the troops from predicting or analysing of his current location. Furthermore, GRANDIOSE appears to be aiming towards his location, forcing him to toss his shackles against him in order to deflect him away from his path.

### Death

He realised that all he had done so recklessly had been a big error. CLYNE later stumbled on a land mine while nearly out of the woods to accomplish his goal, which sent him into the air and encircled him with Command Line forces. He tries to fight back, but they came prepared and cuffed his gauntlets before finally defeating him. The troops proceed to blow his limbs off with plasma weapons before annihilating him with sheer gunfire, blasting him in all directions.

One soldier known as Whitney posted the picture to PROJECT in order confirm the kill. CLYNE, is now offline.

## Personality

> "I don't care about PROJECT. All I care, Is that I bring a new age... of Valenthia!"
>
> - CLYNE showing no affiliation but himself

Despite his firm ideals in freedom, justice, and equality for the mages and downtrodden masses of Valenthia, Clydemoore has also proven to be a violent fanatic, brutally murdering anyone who doesn't support his cause. This makes Clyde morally-grey character, who believes that his extreme methods are justified as long as they accomplish his goals. Aside from Tianna (whom he befriended), Clyde despises the noble houses of Valenthia, with their hypocrisy being a large part of the reason behind his turn against the kingdom. Clyde is shown to not hesitate in exacting revenge on the nobles, even attempting to force-feed a rat to Prince Reginald VI as a means to torture him. Despite this, Sylas is capable of mercy when he spares Archibald's life at the request of Tianna. Above all, while Clyde believes in justice and freedom from all oppression, he believes in his own version of justice, and is willing to us any means necessary to make his version of justice a reality.

PROJECT CYLNE was simply a more evil version of Clyde himself when he became a cyborg of the megacorporation. He was hungry for combat, flaunting his careless attitude, tough and aggressive nature, whilst having no qualms about defecting against the megacorporation in his lone quest to restore Valenthia to his order. As a result, when he went online, he barely cared whether he was a cyborg or not; all he wanted to do was harness his newfound power, owing to the megacorporation's attempts to cybernetically enhance his body. Unfortunately, this proved to be his undoing, as he only lasted three days before being destroyed by the Command Line, therefore ending his quest to liberate Valenthia in his own way.

## Abilities

PROJECT CLYNE was a cybernetic warrior designed to confront his adversaries through direct hand-to-hand combat and crowd control, using his chains to draw any targets through his strength and easily disable or kill them up close. However, his current state is that of a prototype, which explains why his front and upper torso are susceptible, forcing him to use his gauntlets and legs to stop projectiles from the front when attacked.

### Moveset

* **Nakrisite Charge**: After casting a spell, CLYNE stores a charge of Nakrisite Burst. CLYNE's basic attacks will expend a charge and simultaneously whirl his energized chains around him dealing damage to enemies hit. While he has a charge of Nakrisite Burst, his attack speed and reflexes becomes faster by 61.5%.

* **Chains of FREEDOM**: CLYNE unleashes his fearsome chains to struck a target to death. If it kills, it can be used indefinitely for a large amount of time. Those that are injured and not killed are struck with haemorrhage instead.

* **REGIME SLAYER**: CLYNE lunges at an enemy with magical force dealing immense damage and healing himself against enemy warriors.

* **ABSCOND and ABDUCT**: CLYNE dashes to a target location and uses his chains to pull the target in front of him.

* **IMPOSTER**: PROJECT CLYNE analyses his opponent and when the scan is complete, he can steal their ultimate move without restrictions and use it against them for one time. He can switch between multiple ultimate moves of his enemies should he ever kill them one by one.

### Skills

* **Skilled Combatant**: PROJECT CLYNE is uploaded with an extensive combat sports and scenario database and appears to be a skilled combatant as he has great boxing and brawling skills, allowing him to take down a good number of PROJECT forces in *Going All Out*. As a result, CLYNE is an extremely deadly and the megacorporation advised to fight him with great caution, noting that ranged combat is his weakness. Another thing to note is that he lacks any form of adept tactical skills and he plainly relies on his fighting capabilities in combat.

## Trivia

### General

* CLYNE survived three days after defecting from the megacorporation.
* Sadly, he never saw the end of the war, REX-ARCHIBALD could've had a great opponent.
* Typical of PROJECT cyborgs, he has silver hair. However, it is a sign of the cybernetic transformation, while ASHE-159 has natural silver hair, TRISTANNA-651 later on having went from brown to silver as a result of being revived, and Brienne's extensive use of her armour.
* The Equaliser gauntlets can produce concussive sonic blasts when amplified to increase power.
* He used to be a friend of Tianna Maximus. That cannot be said the same when his motives were revealed.

### Developmental Notes

* CLYNE was a one-and-done character, but he is enriched to have a ruthless and villainous persona, with no factional allegiances. He is meant to fight in his way of rebuilding Valenthia into his vision of glory.
* CLYNE fights for no one. He only fights to restore Valenthia into his image, should he ever find new followers.
* He possessed no memories of his past life, but remembers a large portion of Valenthia's history with criminal mages such as himself.
* His gauntlets are vaguely reminiscent to those used by VI-516.
