Age & Date of Birth: 26 || September 18
Gender: Male
Class: Lower Class
Occupation: Mechanic / large vehicle technician.
Affiliation: Vigilante
Genetic Modifications:
Sungazer Lizard - Some traits of a species of lizard (he guesses Sungazer?) have been spliced into his Genes, resulting in spiked scales on his skin (back of ears, back of knuckles, along his spine). It was inherited, though not as properly or fully as it could have been. A a side effect of this genetic splice his body has been affected by a form of poikilothermia; without medication to balance it off, his body will become 'cold blooded' and lose its ability to regulate body temperature. This is incredibly dangerous, giving his affinity to using fire attuned magic.
Additionally - Also inherited, Kyne's teeth are very fang like -both canines are larger and pointed, and the rest of his teeth have a bit of a pointed edge to them as well.
Unique Tech:
Flashgloves - Old school spark making technology at its finest. On the side of the index finger and pad of the thumb on his right hand are patches of fabric with a special coating. When rubbed against each other, they make an intense and bright spark. Application of heat magic can turn this into flame that can be manipulated, and as a bonus the creation of the spark lowers the strain on his system to create the fire.
Heat Pills - Pills containing a Pyrogen to increase body temperature. Most effective if used before heavy fire magic use - ingestion of it after use to ward off hypothermia may be too late and put too much strain on his body. Used sparingly as potential side effects can include damage to nervous system, bones, cardiovascular system and eyesight in the long run, and hyperthermia among other less lethal but undesirable side-effects in the short run.
Bombs - Kyne carries on his person an array of small explosive devices. Mostly, they will be more for emitting smoke or a bright flash of light to aid in tough situations, but he has been known to carry more dangerous explosives as well. Average amt on hand is assortment of 5.
2 NUIP interference sticks - False Identification. Two identities with basic information that help him get past incredibly shallow/superficial scanning. Wouldn't be enough to hold up with someone doing a detailed scan against him but if he gets that caught he's probably screwed anyway. Able to pass unnoticed through most common civilian level scanners (ie, sneaking into a business) and shallow scans from more official sources. They take the form of small subtle data sticks that must sit in his port during use. Cannot use Magix while they are active. Require 1:1 recharge time with a maximum use time of 12 hours.
Identity 1: Anthony Kelemen, Middle Class, 27 years old. Occupation: baker.
Identity 2: Nuka Mahon, Lower Class, 23 years old. Occupation: courier.
*Note: Actual IDs on these may change from time to time but will always remain one lower class, one middle class and one is generally stated to be a courier or maintenance worker.
Laser Pointer - For hassling people in dark places.
In addition to the above, he generally carries a knife or some other simple weapon on his person when he goes out just.. in case. He's made some people fairly angry in the past, and he'd rather play it safe.
Appearance:
[ body reference ] [ alternate outfits ]
Kyne is not an overly imposing man, at least in height. He stands at exactly 165cm with his boots on (don't ask him for his height without it, trust me on this). His skin is a warm sepia tone, with markings on his arms and shoulders just a touch redder and darker. Dark red hair, long but usually tied back somehow, is interrupted by a single silver streak at his right temple. He has a strong jaw and nose, pale markings along his cheekbones, slateblue eyes, and always always a cocky smile on his face as if he's in on a joke that you just aren't.
Despite his small size, he has a strong build - it's clear that he's been no stranger to manual labor, and despite the fact that he's unlikely to tower over anyone, he can still hold an intimidating presence if he has to.
His port is located just under his right ear.
Personality: Stubborn to a fault, passionate about what he wants to get done, doesn't really think things all the way through. Very strongly feels, though - whether its hate for someone who did wrong, or concern over those he's cared about. Very direct though he sometimes misses information because of this and acts too soon. Just wants to help.
Kyne wears his sense of humor like a shield, ready to joke or flirt rather than actually accept something that's going on. He often worries about others getting caught in his messes, and is hesitant to commit to anything that doesn't have an easy exit.
Background: Originally from a middle class family, he was friends with a man named Atticus as they grew up and went through school. When the time came for testing and placement, the two of them got sort of split. Kyne still visited him often enough, trying to keep him out of trouble from being too nice and receiving the same treatment back from Attie. However, the longer he spent among the lower class and more of those from the slums that he brushed shoulders with, the less and less willing to deal with the system he got. It started with a bit of trouble here or there, following whispers now and again, but eventually he ended up getting tangled with Vigilantes and joining their ranks. Kyne kept this a secret from Attie, up until he got real hurt and needed his help and an explanation was demanded.
Kyne's involvement with Vigilantes was a bit of a sore subject among the friends, and after that he kind of ... kept his distance. He didn't want to get Attie hurt, but when the other man got involved in trouble anyway and sent into the Slums, he took a bit more active an approach in trying to keep him safe. Attie is Kyne's go-to for getting fixed up after trouble.
In his time as a vigilante, Kyne is a little more mindful than some of the individual plights of the people. His passionate, shortsighted nature means he gets involved in disputes and small fights, and while he's generally successful at helping people he doesn't get very far in the larger pursuits of the vigilantes more often than not. He's definitely not ignorant enough to think he's in the right during some of the disputes he'd been involved with, though - he knows what he's done and he knows that he really really should avoid getting caught because phwew, that's no good. So far, he's managed to avoid tying his vigilante work to his actual identity and still holds out jobs, though he moves around a lot more now so as to avoid attention. Someone always needs something fixed, though, so there's more than enough demand that he's never in one place for too long.
Though he frequents vigilante safehouses, often he finds himself spending a day or two with Attie if he can sneak by safely enough. If there's one place he feels completely safe, it's with his friend, and he knows he can keep a closer eye on him if he's there.
His family, when he was growing up, used to run a bakery. It was more his grandmother's thing, as his parents weren't horribly into it, but Kyne picked it up right alongside her. The business had been in the family for four generations, and the idea had been to pass it along to Kyne after he finished schooling - but with him being sent down to lower class, that idea was tossed out the window. For the first few years after he was dropped down a class he visited with his grandmother sort of regularly, helping her out where he could - but his parents were sort of distant. He was, after all, the family disappointment - couldn't even hold his class. He'd never had a great relationship with them, though - and the visits with his grandmother were more than enough for him up until she passed away.
Afterwards, the bakery was sold - and Kyne figured he didn't have any reason to keep in contact with the rest of his family any longer.
