[b]Real Name:[/b] Kyuzo Kovacs (pronounced Ko-vach; SINless) [b]Alias:[/b] Yegor Borogov (Fake SIN); Kaz; Volk; Blue Devil; K; Kyooz; The One Armed Demon; often goes by Egg (yEGor) to those who know him, Volk, or Wolf, are his more common street names. [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Metatype:[/b] Ork [b]Specialization:[/b] Gun Slinger (modified) [b]Appearance:[/b] Nothing about Kyuzo stands out, except perhaps that his hair is a naturally dark blue. He’s not large for an ork, he’s not particularly ugly, or handsome. His eyes are a (naturally) pale blue though, which is somewhat rare for orks. His left arm appears real, but anyone with any ability to spot cyberware can see it is indeed artificial. There are several other cyber/bio modifications, but they are not easily detected. [color=f7941d][b]"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down chum."[/b][/color] Kyuzo stands 6’3 inches tall (not tall for an ork) and naturally weighed about 275 (rather light for an ork) pounds before any cyberware. His dress is modest, be it on a run or out on the sprawl. Generally, he wears dark colored jeans or cargo pants with a plain shirt, sometimes long, sometimes short sleeved. Add a pair of tactical boots, and maybe a hat, and you're ready. Dress up? If he feels the need to impress, he makes sure he uses some mouthwash and spray on deodorant. [color=f7941d][b]"Don't remember ever bein' impressed much by the way some ork dressed walking into a club or a bar. But I remember bein' thoroughly impressed by watching that well dress ork get his ass kicked by some hoodrat elf."[/b][/color] [b]Personality:[/b] While his appearance is bland and doesn’t stand out, his personality is another thing all together. Kyuzo was born in Detroit and spent his time growing up tough. When he matured at about 12, he began down the path that would lead him to running: he learned how to fight. He was the runt of a litter of 3, so he was always smaller and picked on. Because he WAS smaller, he learned he had to try harder and fight meaner to overcome his size difference. This part of his youth instilled a tendency to be extremely protective of those in situations where they are targeted by those physically larger. [b][color=f7941d]"Hoi, trog. Put the doorf down and try me on for size."[/color][/b] Kyuzo has always had a mouth on him. He’s confident and often cocky, and he doesn’t generally keep his comments to himself. In circles familiar with him, he is simply known as loud, engaging, but friendly. To those not familiar with him however, he can easily be annoying, to say the least. [b][color=f7941d]"Yeah, I know Kyooz. He's like, a fine bottle of wine. No one at this fucking bar likes wine..."[/color][/b] While Kyuzo is not racist, he WILL make racist comments. Generally, he refers to those close to him with racial and derogatory terms of “endearment” (‘you owe me a drink sqwattie’ or ‘hey breeder, where the frak’ve you been?’). He isn’t a genius, but he’s smart--and exceptionally street smart. In spite of that, he doesn’t often show his intelligence so that people often underestimate him. He’ll often say things or act out in ways that make him seem slow—even going so far as to be cheated or swindled on occasions to get people talking. [b]Bio:[/b] Kyuzo spent his early years in Detroit until a botched run put him in the crosshairs of Ares. That logically sent him packing, at 14, to the Confederate States where he spend about a year before a series of incidents left him...unwelcomed. For the past 2 years he’s been in Chicago running odd runs when nuyen was needed, sometimes just for something to do. He has been in several bloody confrontations that have led to some of his street names, such as Blue Devil and The One Armed Demon. He lives in a very, very modest apartment (a few steps up from a coffin) by himself. Kyuzo is a fighter. He’s trained in hand to hand combat in several different forms, all made all the more deadly after his body modifications. His shins have spots of calcified skin, making his kicks have a bit more UMPH behind them.

Calling CP to request air support.][/color][/b] [hider=If you're a shaman, magic user, or just curious click me!] Kyuzo at one point was a very capable, practicing wolf shaman. Because of his past however, he has renounced all things magic, forced his totem away, and refuses to even hint at it. If your character is especially attuned magically, they may sense something about him. Maybe feel his pull towards the wolf. Shit, they may be contacted BY his wolf spirit, as they bond for life and do not give up on their loved ones. This is also a huge reason he is so hesitant to form any intimate bond with people. Those of the wolf spirit are not carte blanche, general protectors. They are fiercely loyal and protective of those they consider part of their "pack." He has severe mental issues and PTSD from past events resulting in those of his pack being harmed, especially due to his own actions, or in cases where he was unable to protect them. In cases where he forcibly parts way with someone close, there are periods of anxiety and sometimes depression, except if there is a valid reason for the decision--such as, oh you just tried to kill me, or you sold out our team. Suffice it to say, he often avoids forming any real bond with anyone and has developed a method of keeping business relationships separate from personal relationships. [/hider] - [hider=Opinions of teammates] Other runners. “No’me” is a term Kyuzo uses that can be substituted with “I don’t,” “I won’t,” “I wouldn’t,” and so on. Essentially it’s saying “Kyuzo doesn’t…” There is also a VEEEERY slight Russian accent under his ork speech. [u][b][color=f7941d]Traction[/color] [/b][/u]– “[color=0072bc][b]First, Yegor not trust humans. A breeders is always out for self. Humans feel weak ‘n plain ‘n whatever. An’ humans like Traction, always inside the machines ‘n matrix, too sneaky. Easy to hide things in matrix. She hide something. Yegor not see what she doing, who she talking to. Yegor not so much like Traction. She think Yegor stupid. No’me trust, not at all[/b][/color].” Kyuzo doesn’t like Traction. She’s too distant, she’s shady, and something about her screams that she has no sense of being part of a pack. There’s an air of coolness about her, but it seems more like complete detachment and while not everyone in a group of runners has to get matching BFF tattoos, you have to know that someone is more willing to have your back than to turn their own. She hasn’t shown anything portraying that and Kyuzo doesn’t think it’s there. ...but Kyuzo also thinks she’s fucking hot... [color=f7941d][u][b]Caewil [/b][/u][/color]– “[b][color=0072bc]Yegor not racist, but Yegor not really trust elfs. They live long, think they smart, always <> conduhscendin’. Now some elfs, they ok after a while. Cath though, too feline. Cats’re like women. Not loyal. Induhpendent. Shifty. Yegor never seent a cat with one cat, and same cat next time. Give dog food, it wag tail. Give cat food, it go away. Anyway, elf bones break in fights. Who wants that? Not Yegor. So Cath, smooth talker. Can convince troll he’s half elf, you know? Better at talkin’ than fightin’ Yegor think. Cath don't think Yegor smart. Cath ok, but no’me trust her. Pretty lil’ elf though[/color][/b].” Sometimes, Kyuzo looks at Caewil and see’s what could have been with him and it leaves him somewhat bitter and self loathing. However, he finds her smart and capable, albeit somewhat high-and-mighty and thinking too highly of herself. So long as it doesn’t interfere with runs though, it’s a moot point. He thinks her capable at her job, which is the most important thing. ....Kyuzo also finds her attractive... [u][b][color=f7941d]Damien[/color][/b][/u]. – “[b][color=0072bc]No’me trust ones from Cal’forna. That place, dreg of world. And breeders from there, Yegor know humans, have breeder friends. But breeders from there, no’me like, no’me trust. Nomad though, Yegor think he from some’ere else. He quiet, n’ old, n’ have guns prolly older than Yegor, but he good enough man. He seem to Yegor, somewhat like, a knight. Or somethin’. Sometime though, Yegor think old man think Yegor too stupid. Anyway, Yegor tell him, ‘old man, you get cyberwares! They make old, brittle human bones strong! Old eyes good. You get wares’ you be strong and tough like Yegor! Become strong like tank!’ Yegor not really trust Nomad. Too old, and from over there. Nothing good come from Cal’forna[/color][/b].” Kyuzo finds Damien to be his favorite member of the group. “Favorite” used lightly. He’s solid and dependable, time tested, and he is a team player. He thinks that even if Damien doesn’t know it, there’s some wolf spirit in him. He is the member of the group that Kyuzo is most curious about because he’s aged so much and been through, presumably, a lot. Kyuzo is only 17 years old and really, only 5 or 6 of those years have been outside of his formative years. Aged wisdom and experience is something hard to come by these days, and Kyuzo respects that, although his façade doesn’t allow him to express that. …he also does NOT find Damien attractive…. [u][b][color=f7941d]Garett [/color][/b][/u]– “[b][color=0072bc]Yegor not racist against no one, but no’me trust humans much. Recluse though, that breeder, he odd mix. He all drug this, sleep that, always on some weird astra trip. Yegor think he need to keep head in the dirt, feet on the ground ya know? No'me think Recluse thinks Yegor is stupid. Yegor like that. But, Yegor think breeder boy jus' too high to care. Recluse not bad though. Good shot, don’t miss. Well, sometime, boollet come so close, Yegor feel it, you know? Maybe Recluse DOES miss, but tryin’a shoot Yegor, no? <> But. No’me trust this man. Any person in drugs and playing in astra things, they hiding from something. Not sure what, but he hiding. Yegor not trust people hiding from things.[/color][/b]” Yegor trusts Garett but his only fear is that at some point, some run, his battle with his addictions will be something that affects the team. He can’t quite put a finger on it, but Garett seems to be out to prove something. Be it to himself, someone else, or something else, he isn’t sure. He fully expects that one day, they’ll find Garett’s corpse after a drug binge. He doesn’t trust him because of his addiction. [u][b][color=f7941d]Kanchana [/color][/b][/u]– “[b][color=0072bc]Ha. Yegor and Kali go back. Yegor know her well. No’me trust her. Human. Female. Four arms. That like[/color][/b]… <> [b][color=0072bc]That like two times more hands to backstab you with.
