Kyno “Please stand by for analysis.”
The Biography
Birth Name: Kyno Aliases: CRU-X Gender: Feminine AI Age: 2 Birth Day: Arcana: IX – The Hermit Place of Residence: Friends from the Future, BlackLight Academy Semester: N/A Class: N/A
Sorority: N/A
Part/Full Time Job: Surveillance/Scouting Unit
Appearance: Appearing as a re-imagined and vastly oversized one of those popular robotic dogs from the 90’s—or maybe an improvement on those animal-shaped buggies at fancy malls—Kyno stands 3ft even and weighs around 75lbs. Her torso is a rounded shape resembling a slightly uneven packing peanut, connected to four rectangular legs via well-concealed joints. Her paws are well-detailed and defined, with tiny slits in them that appear harmless at first glance but contain small plasma cutters that serve as her claws. A small, rounded wedge protrudes from her rear to give the image of a docked tail, which is only capable of vertical movement due to its axis. Her head is another curved wedge, and moves smoothly against her torso to obscure the thin, articulate pistons and wires that form her neck. Her eyes are camera-like lenses that are typically invisible beneath the shaded visor that forms the majority of her face, though they are augmented with an array of LED lights that allow her to express different types of simplified emotions through her eyes such as hearts, question marks, swirls, or lines that make them appear closed. Her ears are little more than thin pieces of metal attached to swivels, and dangle loosely as she moves. Her nose is little more than a hole where the visor meets the rest of her head, and though harmless at a glance it serves as the barrel of her embedded gun.
She moves with motions that are both endearingly robotic and surprisingly smooth; her walking is more comparable to a perky trot, and her running a calculated, puppylike bounce. Still, she is surprisingly fast and can stop on a dime, and every movement is accompanied with the sound of whirring gears and shifting servos. Her voice is childlike and feminine, with an energetic and inquisitive inflection. (Example)
When in Orgia Mode, Kyno’s machinery kicks into overdrive, the spinning gears at her joints grinding together and giving off sparks as they overheat. These sparks are so numerous that they practically coat her in flame from neck to tail.
Alternate Appearance: N/A
Personality: Pre-Awakening: Kyno is a friendly construct, sure, but she’s still a construct. Everything from her manner of speaking to her thought process is simple and to-the-point, without taking into account the childlike quality of her synthesized voice. If any sort of personality traits can be distinguished from the programming, the most obvious would be the fact that she is infuriatingly nosy. Kyno can’t leave anything well enough alone, particularly if she gets it into her head that whatever she’s caught wind of might lead to some sort of wrongdoing or injustice. She is programmed to question everything, and that’s exactly what she does both mentally and externally. Those who put up with her on a regular basis may compare her to a 6 or 7 year old child; she presumes she knows everything because she’s given it extensive thought with her logic algorithms, and yet incessantly asks about everything because she is still developing her psyche and knowledge base.
Post-Awakening: Once Kyno figures out that she does not, in fact, know everything, the questions and the curiosity shift into overdrive. She becomes simultaneously more energetic and more reserved, empowered by the potential of her psyche but apprehensive of the new deeper meanings she is able to comprehend and contemplate. She voices her feelings about things much less often, instead ruminating on them and making decisions based on what feels right rather than what makes sense. She becomes much more aware of the feelings and motives of others, and considers them more when making her decisions. She learns the real value of justice beyond a black-and-white sense of good and evil deeds, and struggles to develop her own meaning of it by using and honing her brand-new sense of intuition.
The Potential
Strengths: (Anything your character is skilled in, such as Martial Arts/ Drawing/ etc? You are allowed a maximum of five strengths and a minimum of three. Inhuman strengths will only be active in Orgia Mode.)
—Strength Name: Structural Integrity —Description: When Kyno shifts gears into Orgia Mode, the realignment of the gears and axles in her body rearrange themselves in a way that makes her less mobile, but much more resistant to damage. (-10% physical damage taken while in Orgia Mode, negates "You are A TOY!")
—Strength Name: Spark Accel —Description: When in Orgia Mode, Kyno has two gears: braced and maximum forward movement. While this limits what little combat ability she has, it allows her to move an extra space per post in dungeons, and generally increases her out-of-combat speed to a maximum of 40mph as long as she doesn’t have to stop and turn.
—Strength Name: Scan Matrix —Description: Kyno’s complex system of scanners and detectors stretch across a wide range of practicality, and are specialized to break apart everything from voice tone and inflection to biorhythms. While its primary use is to determine whether or not a target is lying, it also serves to give her a seemingly intuitive insight into how individuals are feeling.
—Strength Name: Databank —Description: Kyno is capable of downloading, storing, and uploading digital information using a USB drive that can be protruded out of her mouth like a tongue. It even has a nifty jack converter, so that she can upload information to most brands of smartphone. She can read and translate the data too, well enough to put it in layman terms and verbally explain it if need be.
—Strength Name: Disarming —Description: At first glance, Kyno looks like an oversized toy. This lets her get along in the world while still being obviously mechanical, as well as lets her get close to unsuspecting targets.
----- ((A floating Strength is a strength you've gained inRP. For example, if you were on a Kendo team for some time, you'd naturally know Kendo which is where this strength would come in. However, be aware, it will not be as strong as any of your actual strengths and is a small plus)
—Floating Strength Name: —Description:
Weaknesses: (You must have the same amount of weaknesses as strengths. These weaknesses pertain to you and not your Persona. IE: Physically Weaker, lack of attention span, etc.)
—Weakness Name: You are A TOY! —Description: While built of metal and definitely an upgrade from your average animatronic robodog, Kyno was not built for open combat and is not as sturdy as other ASSWs. (10% extra damage taken from all sources.)
—Weakness Name: Gearshift —Description: Kyno’s Orgia Mode is a vexing one, thanks to her construction. While she deters attackers with her impressive spark display, this higher gear prevents her joints from moving properly and she is only effectively able to brace or run at full speed and cannot turn her head. This makes attacking using her plasma cutters impossible, and her gun loses accuracy due to her limited flexibility. (-10% accuracy with sidearm and unable to use Soulbound weapons while in Orgia Mode)
—Weakness Name: Over-Analytic —Description: Perceptive she may be, but Kyno can and does overthink things and can end up at the wrong conclusions.
—Weakness Name: Puppy Paws —Description: Dextrous Kyno is not. She has no way of manipulating objects besides her pincer-like mouth and stumpy paws, and thus must rely on others to do certain simple tasks for her.
—Weakness Name: Mindlock —Description: Kyno questions everything, without question. Sometimes she can get so caught up in analyzing the little details that she misses an opportunity to act… or just comes off as a giant airhead.
----- ((A floating weakness is one gained in RP. It could be a fear you inherited during RP, or an injury that hinders your character. Some can be temporary while others can be permanent.)
—Floating Weakness Name: —Description:
Soul Bound Weapon: (This is the weapon you'll be able to summon to your hand while in combat. This weapon is special for your character specifically and allows you to fight Shadows without the need of summoning your Persona. This can be anything but a Gun (Or gun related weapon))
Weapon Name: CRU-X Micro Plasma Cutters Weapon Description: Small holes in Kyno’s paws ignite with superheated gas to make short “claws” of cutting flame about an inch long. The flames are so thin and hot that they are able to cut better than cauterize. Weapon Image: (Not necessary) Weapon Attack Type: Slash Weapon Element: (Leave this blank. Only special weapons obtain an element behind its blows.)
Side-Arm Weapon:
Side-Arm Name: CRU-X Muzzler Side-Arm Description: The mechanisms of a 9mm pistol embedded in Kyno’s face, this gun is accurate, but not designed to be particularly damaging or used often. It has a built-in silencer. Side-Arm Image: (Not necessary) Side-Arm Attack Type: Gun Side-Arm Style: Revolver - Single Shot - Accuracy is increased by 20%. Consumes only one type of ammo per use. Can shoot only one enemy at a time.
The Background
History: Long before the Eternal Divide, there was an organization known as the Ortygia Group. A collection of scientists that devoted their studies to the supernatural and ways to harness it for human use, this group developed a line of robotic combat units in the shape of canids. The first, experimental unit bore a papillon heart integrated into its systems, which allowed it to gain sentience. It became rebellious, however, and papillon hearts were removed from the schematics of future units. The K9 units existed in this fashion for a time, until roughly a year after the first’s activation. After awakening to the full spectrum of its emotions, the prototype K9 unit felt guilt for the first time after killing a target. It turned on the K9 units themselves, destroying as many as it could until it was neutralized and sold. Later, the buyer of the K9 unit was accused of harboring a terrorist, and thus the Ortygia group decided to recall all of the K9 units.
Life continued for the Ortygia Group, with research and developments progressing by the day. That is, until the Eternal Divide struck. Communications were lost, labs were raided, and the Ortygia Group as it was known falls to pieces. Members went their separate ways, including a few who lended their expertise to the newly-formed Endymion government. Among them were scientists who worked on the K9 units, ones who haven’t quite given up on the concept quite yet. Pooling what little spare time and resources they had, the think tank managed to put together an Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon similar to that of the K9 units. This time, though, they made sure to limit the combat ability of the construct, restricting it to a more supportive, analytical role. The design for the body of the weapon was modeled after a popular robotic toy, thus reducing the need for expensive synthetic materials while still providing a look that wouldn’t be out of place. Most importantly, it would be easy to destroy if necessary.
Kyno underwent several stages of testing, the first set of which involved evaluating her mobility and cognitive ability. The second stage of testing involved fine-tuning her AI, at which point she was assigned to live with a low-ranking Cadet by the name of Chenille Lockley. This stage of testing was designed to give Kyno a guardian and a more natural environment in which to develop her psyche, and when she is not deployed as a recon unit, she is expected to either accompany Chenille on her everyday business or—in the event that Chenille is at school—observe the social interactions of Endymion on her own.
