Halt

Halt, for his part, was unmoving. Like a statue, the sleek cyborg perched on a rooftop. Not hiding, observing. The stream of people below. His eyes were closed. No need for watching when all he needed to do was listen. Listen to the mess of voices, footsteps. And, worst of all, hundreds of heartbeats all around him. A sound he grew to despise above all else. Years ago, his lips would have curled into a snarl. Now, his face stayed motionless. Calm. 

Read his full introduction

Somehow got into the hands of some crazy dude and ended up all weird. His hearing is more than exceptional, to the point where he can hear the hundreds of heartbeats of people around him.

Thus he has a rather twisted view of hearts and would very much like them to stop beating.

At the same time, his ability can be kinda useful for investigations- so he presently takes odd jobs.

Only on very rare occassions will anyone see his mouth open. He doesn't need it to eat, but his tongue is prehensile and much longer than anyone thinks. Only really used when he wants to be an extra creepy fucker.

Doesn't believe in clothes as he views them as a hassle. Besides, he thinks of himself as more than human anyway. Why follow their rules?

Comes across a strange human medic during a job whose heartbeat is always steady regardless of circumstance. How curious.

From then on, their paths cross more often...

For the young man going by T, there was no stopping with robotic and cybernetic enhancements. After all, he had gone way past what was legal and safe long time ago.

T

He is a cyborg but at this point most of his human parts have been replaced by robotic ones. His brain is still human, but he's not going around telling people what his weak spots are..

Caught a dangerous virus sometime during his transformation, probably thanks to a shady tech dealer

This virus can cause him to go berserk, which happened and got him captured before - being classified as an S level danger.

Pearl (his human) is a therapist for cyborgs who specializes in extracting dangerous viruses.

She is assigned to him and for a long time they only ever communicate virtually through his PNS (Personal Network System).

A PNS is like an internal server/world that androids and cyborgs can build. It can be accessed by the outside if they let you in, or you can use a backdoor (which Pearl does). The appearance of a PNS is the reflection of its owners inner state and mind. While inside of such a network, each party interacts as a virtual avatar

T chooses to appear as a cat at first, intending to get a feel for her before eventually revealing his true appearance.

Will he escape? Will he remain sane? Who knows!

Hey, if she doesn't want T, I'll take him.

I must warn you anon, he is a highly dangerous cyborg that is affected with a virus that, at times, will make him act out - definitely a threat to your wellbeing.

But somehow I have a feeling you wouldn't mind... :)c

Please please PLEASE anything on Deformis PLEASE

(when you’re feeling better ofc don’t feel rushed or pressured or anything take care of yourself xx you’re amazing)

Ask and you shall receive anon!

This is what happens if you catch Deformis' attention as a human. He might climb a building or two just to get to you. Probably accidentally causing a mass panic, even though he means no harm and is just curious/impatient.

Rex is a terrifying foe in the arena. You won't stand a chance.

[cylunny]

I like ships that banter. Especially when he could crush her with zero effort but she's too cool and composed to give a fuck.

(Also she knows exactly how to press his buttons and how far she can go.)

Rex

Ever since he was a kid with an interest in robotics and kaijus, Rex knew that his path would always be one of cybernetic augments. The desire to be more than just human, the thrill of new addition. In a way, it became his addiction - and the thing he nearly lost his best friend Laura to.

Started getting his augments as soon as he could after turning 18 - small stuff at first, nearly invisible (improved sight, implants)

At around 20 years old he began with more extreme mods. First just to strengthen his body, later to change its shape itself.

Additional limbs such as the tail and extra arms were some of the last.

While his best friend since forever, Laura, always showed understanding for him - her parents, proper high class people that frown upon augments, forbid him from setting foot in their home at 23 years old for "turning himself into a monster"

They have since kept in contact, meeting in secret.

He totally does not have a crush on her since forever too.

Rex started fighting in underground/illegal cyborg and robot battles to earn cash and pay back his debts (his later augments are very expensive).

Even there, his transformation is considered extreme. Only the bigger robots can match him in size (not in combat instinct though)

He stands at around 2,55m in his full glory, if he stretches onto his tippytoes a bit more.

He does not speak of his weight, but it has brought many a chair to its knees.

Personality wise, Rex is a pretty laid back and chill guy. He doesn't intentionally get into people's ways usually, but he also isn't the type to back down if confronted.

While he relishes in the attention (both fear and fascination) in the ring, he doesn't particularly love the terrified reactions of civilians in the streets - can't be helped now, though.
