Cebra can be a handful at the least and a cynical, arrogant pain in the ass at the worst to those around him. He holds a deep contempt for humanity as he watches the destruction and exploitation of his mother and father (he deems Earth to be his mother and Technology his father). What Cebra hates the most is when authorities or politicians attempt to pursue him, arrest him or get in his way. Cebra believes humans to be like infants, incapable of making the decisions best for their own survival and that need defending from the threats they produce themselves. Ironically though he will occasionally come across a human he can tolerate and even call a friend, he will without hesitation put his life on the line to defend them. Despite his apparent arrogance he has deep rooted psychological issues. He is aware that he was designed as a tool of death to be used by petty men of power. He struggles daily with the horrors in his memory of the things he was forced to do. At any time he could purge the memories and forget the blood in his past but he refuses claiming it is just that he suffer. There are good aspects to his personality however. He actually gets along well with children admiring their simple desires in life, also he tends to enjoy female company and has quite the silver tongue


NEA-71 Hephaestus class cyborg AKA Cebra Ulkenne developed in Orion tech lab C-9 PAC is the latest in cyborg technology, armed with newly developed "Saxon energy particles" makes him the top of the line military grade weaponry. He was to be a transported to a US naval base for deployment in the middle east. During the loading procedure at the docks the facility was assailed by a group of mercenaries. During the attack the maintenance capsule Cebra was being transported on was lost to the ocean. He somehow turned up near Hillsdale Washington on the shore in a cloud of confusion and driven by raw instinct he scavenged some clothing and started heading north. Along his journey north he began to understand and recollect some things that were happening in his mind. The odd symbols and numbers racing through his head told him that he was clearly not human or at least not normal.

When he finally came to a stop he realized he had crossed some national border with no resistance, as if he instinctively knew how to evade border patrol. He was in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada, the place he was hardly concerned him more than who he was, where he came from or his name. Sitting at a library computer one day Cebra tries to search for "missing persons" and  "incident in the pacific". Coming up short he gets frustrated only to be shocked a moment later seeing a tiny stream of silver liquid emerge from his pores and form a sort of wire linking to the computer. In moments the computer cycled through what seemed like weeks of information in minutes directly into Cebras mind. He even breaks through a variety of military firewalls with ease gaining access to his identity as NEA-71 Hephaestus class cyborg, a tool of destruction, assassination and war.

Since this discovery Cebra has worked tirelessly to avoid being what he was made for, However Orion has it's own ideas. The US and Canada being unaware that Orion made Cebra they felt free to try and send their weapons to destroy or reclaim him, of course masking these attacks as gang warfare increasing in the streets. The higher tiers of both government are easily persuaded or complicit in this not wanting to spurn the profit Orion provides

Saxon energy- a newly developed energy by Orion tech is a sentient form of energy, not like an intelligent being but more similar to plankton or bacteria. This energy only responds the the unique brain patterns of Cebra and cannot be manipulated by an outside source. The energy still follows some rules of known physics ergo he cannot fire lightning or energy bolts, to affect anything including metals he needs to be within a one foot distance

Uplink- Cebra is capable of using his metallic manipulation to make a wire directly linking the cybernetic part of his mind to any computer available. This includes small devices, robotics and vehicles.

Sleight program- This Orion produced program was designed to be a master key for hacking purposes, the program is designed to deceive firewalls (since I'm not a real hacker I wont get too deep into this)

Cyco processor- Cebra has three levels of conscience, the first is obvious. The second level is his sub conscience mangaing the functions of his various organs and such. The third level is Cyco, Cyco runs the cybernetic functions of Cebra including granting easy use of his abilities to the primary conscience. But another function is to rapidly decipher and process new data storing it away until the primary conscience requires it.

Metal manipulation- What is far more interesting however is it's effect on ferrous metals, Cebra can manipulate these metals via imbuing them with saxon energy even turning it into liquid to mold weapons . The amount of metal he is able to control is dependent upon the amount of saxon energy contained in his internal storage and how much he can produce with his internal generators. Cebra is always researching new ways to try and upgrade his storage capacity and generator output

Nanobots- The saxon energy also serves as a fuel source for the nanobots swarming in his body effecting repairs and maintaining maximum efficiency. With the use of the nanobots ability to synthesize  and energy Cebra can construct machines, devices, weapons he needs to fight, makes energy barriers, regenerate even from complete bodily destruction. When his body has been completely destroyed the nanobots will immediately search the area for organic plant material to synthesize human tissue and begin reconstruction. If none is available and the nano swarms energy starts to wane they will enter sleep mode until organic material can be found. Unfortunately if none can be found in a years time the nanobots will take ANY organic material in the area including humans and animals

absorption- He can absorb metal in his body in it's liquid state to fortify himself for melee combat if necessary. It can be external as well covering himself in a liquid form of metal that will solidify upon something impacting it hard enough

discharge- One of the more basic abilities of the saxon energy is to simply discharge it, this could be an offensive ability or used to
charge some nearby device. He can control the amount discharged and whether it's a steady stream or one single burst


His last ability isn't so much an ability as a safety measure, a sort of last resort to ensure survival. The various cybernetic functions of Cebras body cannot be maintained by his conscience or even sub conscience. A third level of conscience was installed in his mind, the aptly named cybernetic conscience or "Cyco" for short. Besides allowing Cebra to easily use his abilities and run his cybernetic organs, when in a situation where permanent death is an option "Cyco" will assume control of his body. Cebras eyes turn yellow as his voice changes to a more computerized tone and a blank expression takes his face. From then on Cyco's only concern is self preservation at any cost using every weapon in his arsenal


Though it might seem like he's overly powered he has some crippling drawbacks to his abilities
1- EMP weapons can not shut him down as he is still organic but can cease all his cybernetic functions making him essentially human for a time

2- If he absorbs a lot of metal it can slow him down considerably, he must compensate by exerting more energy which can cause him to overheat and lose consciousness after a time

3- Non ferrous metals like silver are immune to Cebra's control and can pass through a saxon energy barrier with ease, Cebra has not devised any means of defense yet besides evasion and physical barriers. If he is pierced by some non ferrous metal it can keep him crippled in pain for some time until the nano bots eat through it, repair the wound and painfully purge any shrapnel from his epidermis

4- Though he is capable of melee combat having a small degree of martial arts knowledge, it's pittance compared to even a well trained human. It's highly likely if an emp weapon were to disable his powers taking him out in hand to hand wouldn't be too difficult

5- Even though Cebra can bypass most firewall defenses in any computer he is also quite susceptible to viruses that can damage or impair a number of system inside him. A well made virus could even seize control of his mind, there is the potential for the nanobots to act independently and purge the virus but that depends on the sophistication of the virus

6- Magic is beyond Cebras understanding for the most part and has zero defense against it besides evasion

7- though he can manipulate ferrous metals and synthesize materials into weapons he is limited by the blueprints in his cybernetic memory and the amount of energy he is able to generate and store. Cyco will not grant him access to higher tiers of construction until Cebra is able to increase his generators output and storage capacity to accommodate the larger amount of energy needed.

8- Telepathic assault is a particular issue when one has three layers of conscience. His memory can be quite easily affected and changed, if someone were to convince Cebra that someone or something were a direct threat to his life Cyco can be convinced to terminate that target effectively making Cebra the tool of war he never wanted to be

9- Cebra can actually b e quite a conductor of electricity, though he can store a lot of saxon energy inside him pure electrical energy is highly damaging, the electrical energy can damage his memory and organs even fusing cybernetic part inside him rendering him offline until the nanobots can begin a reboot after repair. He can even be struck by thunder storms if he's not careful


Construction tiers/blueprints
These are the current tiers and blueprints Cebra has on file, both tools and weapons

Tier 1 (non energy or chemical based)
- Long sword
- hunting knife
- spear
- internal armour reinforcement
-basic tools (wrench, hammer ect..)
-iron knuckles

Tier 2 (Minor use of energy or chemicals)
-Assault rifle
-Sniper rifle
-Remote explosives
-mobile communicator
-proximity detector
-electrified sword
-Graphene armour suit

Tier 3 (Experimental weaponry: Use of energy and complex chemicals )
-Ion bolt rifle: A compact rifle using ion charged cells as ammunition do fire medium ranged ionic bolts

• Range:350 meters
  
• Capacity: 25 bolts per cell
  
• Armour penetration: medium
  
• Drawback: inoperable when wet
  

-Strafing laser gauntlets: cybernetic gauntlets containing a laser generator

• Range: 100 meters
  
• Capacity: (recharge after five blasts for 20 seconds)
  
• Armour penetration: high
  
• Drawback: Over use can degrade the generator and cause overheating and explosions
  

-Phoenix-01 Cybernetic armor: A mechanized suit of armor directly linked to Cebras cybernetic brain, the link helps by connecting Cebra to the armours tracking, targeting and identification systems. The suit comes with an Ion bolt rifle, Heated, electrified sword and Graphene shield. The suit itself is capable of flight and performing aerial maneuvers depending on the operators agility.

• Armour density: medium
  
• Max aerial speed: 1300 kph
  
• Shields type: medium sized round shield
  
• Sword type and max temp: Poll sword/1387 Celsius
  
• Drawbacks: When in the armour Cebra cannot use any of his abilities besides healing injuries as the saxon energy tends to interfere with the suits functions. He also cannot use his shield generator in combination with the armour
  

-Plasmatic tools: essentially the same as any of Cebras normal tools just with greater efficiency

- Multi phase shielding: An internal shield generator capable of not completely blocking but Cushioning against most types of energy based assaults. The shield is translucent though the shimmer can be seen around Cebra, The shield will typically absorb 40% to 50% damage depending on the strength of the incoming energy.

• Drawback: Cannot use Phoenix armour, cannot receive incoming electronic communications past the shield, Magnetic fields cause a type of feedback in the shield increasing the temperature around Cebra intensely
  

The Fluff

Cebra occasionally is absent minded about his powers and sometimes gives people mild shocks of saxon energy (non lethal)

The RP Sample

Cebra walked through the Orion facilities stark white sterile halls drawn to the signal, the ping grew louder and louder in his mind. Around the corner two guards draw their pistols and fire three rounds each at Cebra. The rounds stop dead not a millimeter from Cebras head and drop to the floor halted by the saxon energies intense magnetic polarity . Cebra promptly grabs a pipe on the wall and uses the energy to manipulate the pipes into striking the two guards.

"You'd think... after the first forty guards went down the last two would just run".

Cebra stands over the unconscious guards.

"Your species is a paragon of stupidity"
