As you mat know by now, the Cybers are the primary antagonists of my story. They’re a legion of entanma who have been given artificial bodies and have been brainwashed to serve an unknown agenda. The Cybers have been a threat to Zoincaillan society in some form or another for thousands of years. The Cybers’ primary objective seems to be the capture and conversion of other entanma into more Cybers. Because every single Cyber used to be a regular individual with freewill of their own, it’s unknown where or how The Cybers originated in the first place.
There’s lots of Cybers out there - way too many to feature in just one image. The picture above shows a small handful of Cybers that vary greatly in their abilities and rank. From left to right:
Recoil is a level 5 entanma, and was formerly a Conclainian before he was Cyberfied. Cybers that have good standing amongst their peers are sometimes awarded “titles” based on their accomplishments; Recoil is simply known as the Cyber of Destruction, as he is infamous for reducing entire cities to rubble during battle. His powers primary relate to long-range projectile attacks, using both physical projectiles and energy blasts.
Ender is a level 3 entanma, and a converted Grukainian . In life Ender had lost someone he loved very deeply, and blamed himself for not being strong enough to save that person. Seeking both power and respite from his own grief, Ender sought out the Cybers himself and joined them willingly. Ender has the power to store weapons and other items away in a hidden space around him. Any item he has acquired this way can be summoned later and grafted to his body, making him a very versatile fighter.
Countdown is a level 6 entanma, and the strongest Cyber on record. It is unknown what Countdown’s original species was before Cyberfication, as he did not originally come from Zoincailla. He also seems to be one of the oldest Cybers, as he is identifiable in texts from over 5,000 years ago. He is known as the Cyber of Fate, and is feared by everyone, including his comrades. His powers relate to time itself; he is able to slow down, speed up, stop, or in some rare cases even reverse the passage of time around him. This alone makes him almost untouchable in battle, but his attacking capabilities are also top-notch. He can use a large repertoire of magic spells, usually themed around the tarot in some way.
Arc is a level 5 entanma, formerly a Ploctite before being captured and turned into a Cyber. Arc used to be a gifted neuroscientist who used both magic and technology in her studies. She had a particular interest in dreams and the subconscious mind, and her findings led to several advancements in her field. It was even believed that her research might one day unlock the secret to freeing Cybers from their brainwashing, making it a cruel twist of fate that she herself eventually fell under their control. She is known as the Cyber of Nightmares, using a twisted version of her dream-magic to induce terrifying hallucinations and delusions in her enemies. She is often used for subduing difficult enemies and for extracting information from peoples’ minds.
(Man, the fact that I had to still link to pages on my blog in this description made me realize...I really should put my Worldbuilding June stuff here on deviantart as well sometime...but there's so much of it and it'd be kind of a pain to upload it all here? XD)
