## Physical description

### Eye color

Green

**Hyperion II**, also known as **Sebastian Moss**, is a metahuman created by the Hyperion Project. He was the second 'born' of the seven soldiers, and had one of the hardest childhoods. In 2039, Moss is one of the more openly human of the Hyperion Soldiers, cracking jokes and even once winking to a news camera. His public side is balanced out by his more ruthless side, as he can mow through enemies of the Coalition without blinking or feeling anything but satisfaction.

## Hyperion Soldier

As a Hyperion Soldier, Moss is quite obviously inhuman. He notably has a second heart and additional pair of lungs that contribute to an incredible survival ability and near infinite stamina. His eyes are hyper-reactive, allowing him to track enemy fire and even see bullets at near standstill while in motion.

Appearance-wise, Moss has the build of a sprinter. He inherited Connelly's red hair and green eyes, and sports a goatee and moustache. He occasionally goes out on his days off, albeit watched over by a set of bodyguards to ensure he is not targeted by the Resistance.

### Early Life

Moss was cursed at a young age with a genetic defect that left him perceiving the world in slow motion. Everything seemed warped and wrong, and he struggled to maintain a solid grasp on his own sanity. As he aged however, he learned to control this slowdown of his senses and use it to his advantage. Once he was able to perceive things in normal speed, he was able to begin a real life. He was reintroduced to the other Hyperion Soldiers, noticing the absense of VI very quickly. He was unsuprised when VII also fled, being cited as saying *"it was bound to happen sooner or later. Be glad that he only killed the Doc."*

### 2038 Incidents

Over the course of 2038, the Hyperion Soldiers began to have false backstories and lives set up for them, mostly explaining that they were simply modified from General Eric Connelly and Nestor McKellen's DNA rather than born from them as well as Sergei Chernov and Jewel Mondragon. Sebastian Moss had this to say on the matter:

> *"When I was younger, there was Dad, that was Eric, and there was Pops, that was Sergei. I don't care if he was in a bad place, you f\*\*\*ers are disrespecting my Pops with this s\*\*t and I ain't gonna let this go."* - Sebastian Moss

Moss then attempted to try out for several different major sporting teams. He was denied his chance to play for Nevada in American Football, he was also denied for regular Football and he was very quickly turned down for all sprinting and running events. He was, however, accepted as a contestant on a game show called The Atlas Run, which functioned around a timed obstacle course that only trained athletes really had a chance at completing. With his winnings from the show, Moss actually bought a large house in the suburbs surrounding Los Angeles. When asked why by Dr Valcz, who could have provided him with accomodation, Moss replied with this:

> *"Like I want your budget houses? Can it, Doc- I won the money and bought this place fair and square, it's under my name and everything." -* Sebastian Moss

Dr Valcz refrained from telling Moss he didn't legally exist yet and couldn't technically own property, and had essentially used a fake ID in the process. When Sebastian Moss was later legally set up as Moss' identity, he had to wade through three days of paperwork. Hannah Stewart originally went to help him out on the first day, but Natalie McKellen stopped her and the two of them instead went to an amusement park. Dr Valcz filed the incident under karma and left it at that.

### Modern Times

Moss is a tactical genius, his slowdown abilities giving him a unique ability to think over every single move he makes and how it will affect his enemies and allies alike. He favours a Ballistic Gauntlet, a self-made weapon that incorporates various different cartridges and energy weapons. He currently utilizes two of them, and has taken position as the brains of the team, planning out large elaborate strike maps before Hyperions III and V go off-plan instantly. Moss has never been injured in his service to the Atlas Coalition, as his fighting style allows him to keep a medium distance while stopping enemies before they can close the gap. In an era of power armour and powered melee weapons, his style is brutal and focused heavily on locking his enemies down.
