Flaws // Virtues

Virtues:

• Task Oriented With little else going for him, Cypher has defaulted to devoting his time and energy towards the only task he can think of to remain a relevant member of the Vanguard. From the start of their mission, he had joined to fill the role of a tactician; he was not a student of the natural sciences beyond what was required of him back on Valencya. (He had come along expecting to be a sentry or lookout for those who were looking at gathering samples for their research but turns out he was not needed for this.) His interests and focus had been on weapons, fighting style, scouting, mapping terrains, and strategizing. However, with the orders given as they relate to engaging in fights with White Moon or Negaverse Agents, Cypher has committed himself to building a training ground where the Vanguard can practice and remain diligent. To do this he has taken steps with schooling and finding a job that allows him to work with computer technology, coding, building, welding, etc so that he has moving targets that will not be destroyed after a single shot from a sniper rifle. Everything has to happen in a specific order and he is working on meeting these small goals to achieve something, hopefully, greater. Once Cypher sets his mind to something, he is committed to it. He carefully organizes his plans and does everything in his power to achieve his goals. He is effective and thorough and remains focused on the task at hand.
  
  
• Observer Cognisant of his surroundings, especially since he's on a world he isn't familiar with. Azrael tries to have a decent level of environmental awareness and tries to read the room, but when emotions are involved he can tend to get it wrong. Even so, he has a decent visual memory when it comes to the physical layout of a room he can generally remember where most things are (might not know what they are but with a description, he should be able to recall it).
  
  
• Level-Headed Thinks with his mind rather than his heart. Tries to determine the most probable outcome for success and what needs to be done to achieve that goal. Right now it's finding ways to save their home and by doing that he's looking into the technology of Earth that has helped it progress through the centuries to the modern era. In terms of fights, he tries to remain calm so he can better assess the situation.

Flaws:

• Literal He isn't even going to try to understand Earth jokes or this thing they call sarcasm. Whatever is said to him or around him will be taken as is at face value and will react as he deems appropriate. This might escalate things if something is said in jest but for the most part, as long as it isn't a threat, he'll likely just look at the person unamused or shrug it off and go about his own business.
  
  
• Uncompassionate Azrael doesn't understand or relate to extremes in emotions which may make him seem disconnected or emotionally stunted. When he smiles, it doesn't really reach his eyes which doesn't mean he isn't happy it's more that he's in a constant state of neutral. He understands gratitude, guilt, admonishment, disappointment. But depression, frustration, joy aren't something he can relate to.
  
  
• Unapologetic - While he will own up to his mistakes and endeavor to do better in the future. The phrases 'I apologize' or 'I'm sorry' are not in his vocabulary. If he's offended someone, then let them be offended. Nobody has ever suddenly up and died from being offended. There are going to be lapses in communication, something to be expected, but he will just make a note to not make the same mistake and move on. This may make him seem like a standoffish a*****e and he's honestly ok with that. You either know this about him and accept him for it, trusting he won't make the same error again. Or you don't and move on.

Meet Corporal Cypher

Velencian Name: Cypher, but also responds to Cy

Uniform Style: The bodysuit activewear offers no physical benefit but is form fitting to stay out of the way.

Uniform Colors: The base color of all uniforms is always Thistle.

These will be changing as he is promoted (or if I can get alt art) but for Cadet, my color picking was horribly off when I chose the swatch.
Primary Accent Color: Ming #387780
Secondary Accent Color: Turquoise Green #b3d2b2

Accessories: The only accessories he wears that are visible are the beads in his hair.

Appearance: Hair: Raisin Black #272838 Style 1 Style 2 Style 3
Skin: Maximum blue purple #c7b8ea
Eyes: Jazzberry Jam #aa1155

Weapon: Will more than likely be changing to something not so generic once he's done a bit of movie "research" for ideas on making these SciFi weapons something actually functional.

Cadet Weapon: Reference Idea

Meta + Pre-Meta: blaster weapon capable of firing every ten seconds and causing a tingling and numbing sensation for 5 seconds upon contact. They are powered by crystals in the same color as the primary color of their uniform.

Corporal Weapon: Reference Idea

Semi-automatic rifle that can fire every 5 seconds and cause a stinging sensation that lasts 5 seconds in 6" area where the energy shot was aimed. As a precaution, his upgraded weapon is linked to the data in his ComTech to avoid friendly fire.


Commander Weapon: Reference Idea
At a glance, his weapon looks almost unevolved from the previous stage with the exception of it being slightly larger and a scope added. Cypher's semi-automatic rifle at this stage has a scoped and unscoped mode. As a precaution, his upgraded weapon is linked to the data in his ComTech to avoid friendly fire.

Standard Mode: In the normal unscoped mode it functions exactly as his semi-automatic rifle at Corporal stage; he can fire every 5 seconds and cause a stinging sensation that lasts 5 seconds in 6" area where the energy shot was aimed.

Sharpshooter: When he holds his trigger back for fifteen seconds, it will accumulate the power of three shots which is released when the trigger is pulled back fully. While he is holding the trigger down, the barrel will extend out and the frame to mimic a full sniper rifle. The blast is difficult to dodge within fifty feet, and anyone who is hit by it will be struck with a blunt force energy blast that may knock them off their feet and leave a painful, tingling numbness within a six-inch radius. The blast is easier to dodge beyond fifty feet but if it strikes someone it will not have the same blunt force damage but it will still have a ‘dead limb’ feeling for fifteen seconds. If he releases the trigger after firing a condensed shot, it will revert back to its standard mode within ten seconds.
