@CorpusMundumI would expect us to at least know of each other, since we both travel in roughly the same circles. And I am interested in joining, @Rosette Christopher.
Appearance: In his civilian clothes, he is a somewhat distinguished middle-aged gentleman with light blonde hair and beard. He sometimes wears spectacles for reading. His costume belies his meek appearance, however. It is made of shining overlapping metal plates, covered in runed circuitry. An face-obscuring helmet and flowing green cloak complete the ensemble.
Albert Lawes is publically a brilliant professor of chemistry and engineering, but in secret he is also a magician in service to the Lords of Order. Out of his colleagues, he is the only one to fuse magic with modern day technology. This entry is about his magical abilities. The "Equipment" section shall detail his suit. Magic: While Cy-Lok is well-versed in "traditional" magic (force field generation, teleportation, levitation, rituals, arcane bolts etc.) he prefers to rely on his own brand of sorcery. He can control and shape all kinds of metal and processed materials, as well as generate magnetic forces (which he can use to fly while inside his armor), and generate powerful short-range bolts of electricity. He can also hack into electronics, bypassing any non-mystical form of protection. He can use this to create a "scrying" effect to see through the eyes of digital cameras and listen through microphones and radios. He can ward himself to make his presence undetectable to electronics. He can extend this effect to others as well. He can even create robotic golems with magic, which are loyal, difficult to hack by non-magical means, and can be made from sparse materials. He will often use these as guards or scouts, but other functions are possible as well.
CY-LOK Suit: Albert Lawes has invested much time and energy into the creation of his Cy-Lok armor. While it normally resembles a high-end laptop, by shouting the magic word "CY-LOK!" it transforms with a flash into a gleaming suit of armor. Saying the word a second time will transform it back into a laptop. The command works on voice recognition, so it cannot be activated by unauthorized users. Once activated, the suit increases his strength and durability to superhuman levels. Cy-Lok can use the various sensors in his armor to magnify his senses as well. The armor acts as an arcane focus, allowing him to use his spells with more efficacy. The armor can interface directly with computers, granting him control over an entire network of computers. The armor protects him from extreme environments, such as heat and cold. Through the use of magnetism, the suit can fly. Cy-Lok's cloak is made of a special material enhanced by magic. When he wraps the cloak around himself, he can activate its camouflage properties and disappear into the background. He also carries several small golems with him. He sends them out as guards and scouts, and they relay camera and mic. feeds into his helmet.
Acquaintances: Other magicians and occultists, especially those dedicated to the Lords of Order. While he has great reverence for Doctor Fate, he believes that he ought to adapt to the changing methods of the modern day. While he has never met Hawk and Dove personally, he knows of their connection to the Lords of Chaos and Order. He also has academic connections as a professor of engineering.
Personality: Cy-Lok has a deeply instilled moral code and a sense of justice. He is deeply disturbed by the actions of Anarchy and the lack of action taken against him and his regime. He possesses a keen intellect, and often slips into philosophy.
Bio: Albert Lawes is a brilliant professor of chemistry and engineering at the Midway City College of Technology, as well as an occultist of high standing within the circles of Order. Before the rise of Anarchy, he was content to remain in the shadows, perfecting his techno-magic. But when Anarchy's power began to spread unchecked, he became enraged at the lack of action taken against the rising chaos, he decided to finally take up the fight for law and order as -- CY-LOK, the Modern Mage!
