Description EDIT: putting a link in here to my recent pic of Cy, since it gives his earth form [link]

This would be my audition for a Code Lyoko ACC battle being held by . You can see the details all over here in his journal. [link]


Name: Cyrus Alexander Cervantes
Age: 15
Weapon Info: Cyrus weapons consist of a scythe and his speed. He generally considers himself Lyoko's personal grim reaper. Not exactly strong physically, Cyrus tends to rely more on his agility to keep him alive in Lyoko, and the help of Charrlotte, his trusty scythe.
Vehicle: Cyrus borrows the Overbike from time to time, but relies more on his Rift ability to get around long distances (explained below).
Lyoko Power: Cy's powers are two simple but effective abilities. His first is his Faze& ability, which allows him to go intangible for 10 seconds, while his scythe remains fully tangible. This allows him to be fully offensive and simply ignore laser fire for a short time, while Charllotte does the rest of the dirty work. This power however takes a full minute to recharge. His second is an ability called Rift, in which he uses his scythe to rip a hole in Lyoko's programming in order to bring two points in lyoko together for a quick one way jump.

Likes: Cooking, pranks, a good joke, dramatics, a good red wine, a good game of chess, Pop, Rock, and Techno music, flirting, and meatloaf day
Dislikes: XANA, being devirtualized, Odd stealing his meatballs on meatball day, his step-mother, people making fun of his mother/father, Math(specifically fractions).
Goal/Dream: One day Cyrus hopes to open up his own restaurant, and every night he'll leave a table open where his friends and family can eat for free.
Strengths: Cyrus uses tactics and precision when it comes to fighting, while he may not be a genius, he's quick, and knows how to gain the upper hand in a situation.
Weaknesses: Arrogance is one of Cy's greatest faults, and makes him feel slightly hypocritical since he enjoys saying: "Just because you succeeded once, doesn't mean you'll succeed again." While he might be arrogant he's even cockier, and tends to over do it when it comes to taunting.

History: Cyrus doesn't talk much about his past much, or much about himself at all. The truth is Cyrus was born into a very wealthy family. His mother however died when he was eight, and it wasn’t long after that, that his father remarried to another woman who, she herself, had already had her own child, whom she showered with affection, while trying to change Cyrus, turning him into another “ perfect little boy” and soon realizing he didn’t want to change, resolved to verbal and psychological abuse. After his father died when he was thirteen, his step-mother inherited the family fortune until Cyrus would be old enough to tend to affairs when he turned eighteen. She, however, seemed to care little for Cyrus and only tolerated him after that. Cyrus wasn’t going to wait for that day though and instead ran from home in an attempt to escape his step-mother, he resolved to a last ditch effort to leave her with nothing, since the only thing allowing her to keep any of the money was the fact that she was taking care of Cyrus.

For the next few years Cyrus roamed around moving from school to school to keep his step-mother away from him and find a place to just be accepted, never really staying at any school for more then two months. Cyrus discovered Kadic two years into his vagrancy, while checking the lay of the land he met Izz Delamater. Not long after their encounter, he was introduced to the group, where his entire adventure would begin.

Personality: Cyrus on his own is a troublemaker, prankster, and all around goofball, though he’s a bit closed off when it comes to talking about himself. He has a rather sophisticated taste when it comes to certain things, but he’s not beyond devouring the cafeteria meatloaf or challenging Odd in a food-eating contest. Now an orphan he sees’ the group more as his replacement family then as friends. Fiery spirited, and a little dark in some senses, he does have a bit of an evil streak. Cyrus thinks best on his feet, and has a quick sharp wit, not to mention a sharp tongue. There are times, though, when even logic eludes him and he charges in guns blazing, but you’ll never find a more devoted and trustworthy friend.

How They Got into Lyoko: Cyrus introduction to Lyoko was his own doing, and a matter of chance. His first encounter with the group was with only Odd, Izz, and Jeremie, as Yumi was apparently gone on a trip with her family, and Ulrich was in the infirmary with the flu. Izz [link] introduced him to the two remaining members, Odd and Jeremie at lunch, where Cyrus made quick work of becoming friends with Odd, while Jeremie seemed to be a bit more wary of him. At one point Jeremie had left the table to investigate something. After a while Izz and Odd got up to go see where their friend had gotten off to, inviting Cyrus along with them. When they got a call from Jeremie, they split however, leaving Cy.

Never one to really believe in regretting a decision, not to mention curiosity about his new friends suddenly ditching him, Cyrus decided to follow them. It wasn’t long after that that they led him right to the factory. Daring as ever Cyrus followed them right over the edge, grabbing the ropes tightly and swinging his way onto the ground, rolling under the doors before the elevator started down. Confused at his sudden appearance, and a little miffed. Being as short manned as they were, Cyrus was allowed a chance to enter Lyoko, but the decision was never regretted. He’s proved to be a trustworthy comrade with only his friends in mind with all of his actions...well...most of the time anyways.

Personal Thoughts: Whoa wait….there are others? Cool…and we’re going to have a battle royale to decide who gets to stay and who gets kicked…hmm. Well, I’m excited to be able to fight, but I’m scared to lose, I don’t wanna lose my friends. The adventures we’ve shared, the battles we’ve fought to save the world time and time again. They’d all be hard things to lose, and even harder still to forget everything? If it’s just the memories I lose, and not their friendship if I lose, I won’t feel too bad, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna go any easier on any of you. I’ll fight for every one of my memories with all my heart. Bring it on kids. I’ll give you the fight of your life.

Wait, "A good red wine"? He drinks?

Yes, how he was raised is part of that, but he currently only ever drinks once a year on a very important day.

Say, does he ever get drunk? If so, what's he like when he gets drunk?

Cyrus doesn't usually drink so excessively that he can't function properly. As for if he's ever gotten drunk, yes. His personality shift when that happens is a variable though, and he can be anything from bubbly to downright depressed.

Wait, "bubbly"? What do you mean? And why would he get depressed? What's he like depressed?

SanguineWolf In reply to E-Belle [2009-05-08 08:41:37 +0000 UTC]

When I say bubbly, I mean excessively giddy, or hyper active and friendly. Cy's worst fault is letting go of the past and moving on. Even though its been years, Cyrus still isn't over his parents deaths and kind of refuses to move on. And when he's depressed...well...he gets very somber, quiet, and, for lack of a better word, he just kind of "fades". He stops caring about his appearance and his bangs, and he just seems to get a little more pale each day as he loses his appetite and becomes restless, to the point where he has trouble sleeping.

About the history bit, I wanted to know, what would happen if Cyrus's Stepmom actually did find him?

SanguineWolf In reply to E-Belle [2009-03-28 07:50:34 +0000 UTC]

That did happen at one point, and does on several other occasions, and leads to the conflict of Cyrus constantly trying to find ways to avoid her it was kind of comedic. It was kind of part of his major plot point.

E-Belle In reply to SanguineWolf [2009-04-21 22:24:15 +0000 UTC]

What happens when she finds him? What does she do?

SanguineWolf In reply to E-Belle [2009-04-21 23:34:54 +0000 UTC]

She tries to do what she's always trying to do, get him back to the house so she can proove she's taking care of him and not have her assets frozen by the banks. It's all about the money his father left behind, to her, and without Cyrus, she doesn't have access to it all. She only has access to an "allowance," that is given to her on a monthly basis by the lawyers and it's enough for food, and bills and maybe a few luxuries.

She does manage to find him and through a few underhanded tricks manages to get her hands on the family accounts and drains them dry leaving Cyrus with nothing. A helpful RTTP though helps him through that bump though and he manages to avoid her and the trap she's laid for him altogether.

By the way, I think I asked sometime before if I could use Cyrus in a comic, and you said yes. Anyway, I'd like to ask: can Cy's rift ability take him between a surface sector and Sector 5? He's not going to try it in my comic; it's just for dialogue purposes.

SanguineWolf In reply to DanMat6288 [2008-08-11 17:55:13 +0000 UTC]

Rift is one ability I've had to think about for a very long time. Truthfully, I still don't think I've worked all the kinks out of it. While this may be up for change later, until I can fully explore the ability, I'm going to say for right now that, no, he is only capable of rifting around the sector he is currently within.

I kind of blew the comic off waiting for MewB's OK to use Casilde, so I'm not going to be able to post up the final copy by the time the semifinals start going up. So, I posted up the less-than-glamerous lineart scans in my scrapbook; the first page being here: [link]

Be perfectly honest on how you feel about the comic's portayal of Cyrus.

lol It looks like Cyrus is saying to some dying person, "(insert person's full name), I have come for thee!" So, I guess it's OK if an ACC knows about just one other reserve member prior to the competition? I made a "pseudo-entry" (see my scrapbook) named Tommy Blankenship whose big cousin is Casilde's father, and Tommy found out about Lyoko though Cassy, according to my bio. I know it doesn't really matter since Tommy won't be fighting anyways having been made too late (my in-universe excuse is that he dropped out prior to the first round when he was supposed to be fighting Jordan), but still...

Say, what if someone did pulled some surprise whatever that got Cy's stepmom arrested for abuse?
