Name: Shirin Tao Zhu
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Race: Human(Cyborg)
Proposed Abilities:
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Race: Human(Cyborg)
Proposed Abilities:
Basic Ki manipulation - The lowest skill level when it comes to the use of energy. It only allows for basic energy blasts and anything that would require a similar level of skill in ki usage.Biography:
Basic Bukujutsu - Pretty self explanatory. The simplest form of the ability to fly by propelling yourself with your energy.
Holographic Images - Shirin can project high quality, nearly indistinguishable from real, three dimensional images of himself as a distraction for offensive and defensive purposes as well as for escaping. He cannot, however, project images where he cannot see them.
His other abilities and perks from being a cyborg are as follows:
The system installed in his cardio-vascular system allows him to breath underwater by breathing water the same way he breathes air. In and out, where the lung modification causes the lungs to extract all available oxygen and then expels the water back through the mouth and nose.
His senses of smell, sight, and hearing have all been cybernetically amplified and he's been given the ability to hear and see on different wavelengths than a normal human. He also has a built in mental clock and a compass.
To improve his strength, the chip that was implanted in his brain removed the mental limiter on how much of his muscles' full potential is used. For the normal human this amount is only about twenty percent. For Shirin, however, there is no limit.
To keep his muscles' new found strength from breaking his own bones, his bones were laced with a space age plasteel polymer to add durability and hardness without losing flexibility. This also makes him more durable overall.
Tiny wires were wrapped around the relays of his entire central nervous system to increase the strength and speed at which his neural impulses traveled, allowing him to react faster and to much greater effect than a normal person.
Lastly, since Shirin doesn't know how to manipulate energy on his own and relies on his cybernetic abilities for those skills, he has an eternal energy generator inside his chest and upper abdomen. It doesn't allow for unlimited use of energy per se, but given time to rest and recharge, he will be able to use energy once again just like any other person who had expended their energy and then rested to regain it.
These important details aside, though, Shirin is still Human for the most part, both mentally and physically.
Ancestor: Mercenary Tao(Tao Pai Pai)
Appearance: Shirin is five feet ten inches tall, on the lower end of the average for human height. He weighs two hundred and sixteen pounds, but don't let this number fool you. he only weighs this much because he's a cyborg. He actually looks like a moderately active high school student as far as physique is concerned. He has a slender build for a male. What's strange about Shirin is that despite his actual age, he still looks like he's in his late teens. His hair is the color of burnt sienna, being brown with a hint of red. It extends down his back to the middle of his shoulders. He keeps three golden bands around his hair to keep it from being everywhere. These bands make it appear as though he has a very long pony tail, although the first band on the way down is just above the base of his neck. His eyes are aquamarine in color, and making direct eye contact will give off the feeling that Shirin isn't fully there, as if something is missing. Some mistake this feeling for his dislike of them or a cold stare. There would be scars on his body from the surgery that gave him his cybernetics, but the space age healing chambers took care of those before they happened.
(I'll try to describe his clothing in each thread as it may and likely will change with each thread.)
---------------------------------
Shirin was a high school student and a worker at one of the last remaining Capsule Corps. laboratories with his mother and father. It was true that most of the world had caught up to the standard Capsule Corps. technology, but there were still underground projects, underground being literal, that Capsule Corps. was working on to stay on top of the competition.
Everything about Shirin's life changed when that day came, though. Everything went into chaos for every human being. Shirin was no exception. To keep safe his family stayed in the living quarters of the underground lab on the outskirts of West City as much as possible. They began working on combat cybernetics to help combat the menace, being early members of the resistance. Their lab was never discovered, so they remained relatively safe while they worked.
They didn't have a lot of contact with the outside world, though, and the only one who went to get food and supplies was Shirin's father.
They needed someone to test their new technology on, and Shirin, with his strong, young body, would be best suited to undertake the installation surgery and procedures. Neither his mother or father could risk it since they were the only two who had the know-how to properly install the parts and monitor the one who they were installed upon.
Things soon became too bleak and raiders began entering the labs. Two of the three entrances were sealed off and various rooms had bandits and raiders sealed in them. Knowing that they wouldn't be able to see their sun to full recuperation or their project to fruition. There would soon be an attack on the lab if they didn't halt their research, so they did just that. They destroyed the electronic locks on every entrance and welded it shut. Shirin remained in an unconscious, suspended state in a special rejuvenation chamber that was modified to monitor his condition and make sure that the implants were acceptable.
There were instructions and a few other things left for Shirin when he finally woke up from his long sleep.
The machine had malfunctioned at some point, though, and it never woke him up. He spent nineteen years in that suspended state with the chamber constantly checking the efficiency of all the systems. Only when the rejuvenation chamber finally ran out of the liquid chemical needed to do its job did it stop. This woke him up...nineteen years later. He was stiff beyond belief and he was only able to remember some of his past. Luckily the holo tape that was activated by the shutting off of the rejuvenation chamber gave him the information he needed. The only way out was to use the drill pod in the far end of the room. The only clothes in the lab was a lab outfit. White coat, red tie, black slacks and shoes, and a gray button up shirt.
So he climbed into the pod and made his way out wearing that attire. He felt awkward beyond belief, but at least he was alive. And now he was one of the most advanced weapons on the planet. He hoped it would be enough to keep himself alive and to help in the fight against this great evil that had torn the safety he once knew asunder. The evil that had taken his friends and family into its clutches. The evil that he intended to destroy.
With the schematics of his systems saved in the chip that was implanted in his brain and connected to all his cybernetics, he needed to work on getting used to his new body and its abilities. Right now that was the first thing on his agenda.
