Name: Vylanos Black
Age: Three deca-cycles and four (34 years of age) since created, Four deca-cycles and seven (47 years of age) since project began
Race: Human (From planet Tiberius)
Sex: Male
Hair: Dirty blonde hair, mullet-style, usually drawn back with ponytail
Eyes: Blue with speckles of white
Weight: One hundred ninety pounds (190 lbs.)
Height: Five foot eleven (5'11")
Strengths: The more berserk of the two halves to the Gemini project. He, like Tacheon, is blessed with the power of Atrionic manipulation.
Weakness: Due to a critical error during the final phase of his creation, Vylanos' head is totally succeptible to any sort of trauma as a normal human's. That's the only part of him that can be really permanently damaged. Also, sometimes he is consumed by bloodlust and will rush into any conflict head-on without any concern with his safety whatsoever.
Skills/Magic: Atrionic manipulation, deductive reasoning, deception
Appearance: Standing at the height of five and ten, Vylanos Black is a more normal-looking person than his brother-- at first glance. Due to extensive scarring along his abdomen and lower back, his body is plastered with tattoos to cover them up. They don't only cover his lower half, however, and they practically darken his entire skin tone with the sheer amount.
His tattoos are of all sorts of different archetypical symbols, such as pentacles, athames, chalices, and wands, along with other, more modern symbols of war and ranking. He almost never leaves the privacy of his home without Aviator sunglasses covering his blue-and-white eyes, and a full-length black cloak covering up his black shirt and pants (with silver trim). He always carries with him a .44 Magnum and a katana (one of a matching set, his brother carrying the other).
Personality: Vylanos isn't a good person to meet in a dark alley. In fact, he's not much of a good person to meet at all. Sure, he's trustworthy if you're one of his few allies, but he's a ruthless killer and is called upon whenever someone needs to be destroyed with extreme prejudice. He likes to inflict pain, but will recieve with equal pleasure. He, unlike his brother, fears death rather than seeks for it.
Biography:
Vylanos was a born failure. That's just the way he was engineered. When the project, dubbed Gemini, was started, its purpose was to create two equal super-soldiers capable of stopping anything in their path. There was, however, a complication. Moments before the project's completion, a fatal error caused an extreme change in the genetic code of the two subjects. One, christened Tacheon, was endowed with the "better" genes, whereas the other, Vylanos, got all of the "bad" ones.
Vylanos was sent onto a spacer and thrown onto a backwards planet known as Tiberius, where his brother, by a freak accident, was sent several years later. Neither of them knew anything about their past other than the fact that they were brothers, seperated at birth. A few years after they had met, Vylanos went on a megalomaniacal rampage and staged a coup and began to conquer the entire planet. After he was thwarted by his brother, he went on to join the Galactic Confederation, or GC.
There, surrounded by "his kind of people" (liars and politicians, pick or choose), he quickly rose to the top of the cesspool. When the time came for an all-out eradication of the Rebellion, however, they put up a massive struggle that ended up wearing out the Confederation's resources and forcing them to disband (but not before a significant amount of funding disappeared, of course).
Vylanos, torn from many many positions of power, reverted to leaving a swathe of death and destruction in his wake. He is known in many systems as, "The Reaper".
Atrion: There is no such thing as nothing. Even at the smallest level, the space between atoms was occupied by something, a four-dimensional sheet of sub-matter known as Atrion. With several more months of practice, he was soon able to manipulate Atrion in such a way as to form anything he wanted as long as he knew the exact structure of it down to the chemical composition. He cannot form anything larger than a breadbox, although what he can make he does with such precision that he could use it for any task it is suited for. One of the products of Atrionic reactions is free energy, so no energy is lost during the reactions. He never gets exhausted.
Normally, the part of the brain that allows Atrionic manipulation is transferred into space for memory mere moments after birth. However, due to special adjustments to the genome thanks to the Gemini project, that part of the brain was never lost. Both he and his brother retain the ability to manipulate Atrion. The part of the brain needed for this delicate process lies in the back of the brain, and if it is disrupted at all the ability to manipulate Atrion is lost, essentially making them a normal person with nothing special about them (ergo, he loses that part of the brain, he's mortal and is killable with ease). Otherwise, and other part of the body, including the brain, regenerates rapidly until they either choose to stop the healing process, or they lose the ability to manipulate Atrion.
Again, with respect to Matt Burch, AmbrosiaSW and all of the EV team.
