GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Cervantes
ALIASES: Cypher, Gray Nova
AGE: 501
GENDER: Male
COMPANION TYPE: Minion
SPECIES: Shinjin
>> MYSTIC ARTS: You can heal your allies with your magical abilities. You can generate a heal valued at 75% of your PL for 3 KP, 150% of your PL for 6 KP. This interacts exclusively with your base power level, and heals based on your target's base power level. You can choose to heal yourself instead of an ally, once per thread regardless of level used. The self heal generates a heal valued at 50% of your PL for 3KP or 100% of your PL for 6KP.
>> KAI KAI: Once per month, you may travel instantaneously from one planet to another with up to 5 others. This also provides a free 60% evasive defense technique, usable once per thread, that is boost-able. You can also post freely in the Otherworld boards even if you are not dead.
>> CREATOR: Once per thread, select a once per thread Battle Item. You materialize a copy of that item and it functions as per usual. The item can be given to allies mid-thread, but disappears upon the thread's conclusion. This item may bypass normal inventory restrictions.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE: Information broker and now mercenary, Cypher is an enigmatic individual whose outfit is just as reticent as he is. Not an inch of skin is shown. A wide-brimmed, pointed, triangular hat sits atop a glossy, sleek, black helmet with six red dots as optical lenses. A dark gray trenchcoat, peppered with belts, buckles, and pockets, ends in a conical neck-covering flair. Voice modulation is built into the helmet, distorting Cervantes' voice to a raspy, alternating pitch that is impossible to link to his regular cadence.
Beneath the secrecy, he is an oddball, even for a Shinjin. Ashen gray skin, typical snow white hair cut short and combed. Coal-colored eyes with a heavy, leaden gaze. Though he prefers to never be exposed, the fallen God will opt for a simple black bodysuit when the need arises.
BACKGROUND: The Nova Base, once a simple connected suite of penthouses, had slowly expanded to cover the entire building complex as the mercenary outfit grew. They had no fear of assassins or thieves doing actual damage, so their security was there just for the typical idiot. That being said, it contained much: motion sensors, heat registry, active guards, both mechanical and not, and dedicated locks.
So, to see an intruder broach the Nova's chambers with absolutely none of the security measures disrupted was... shocking. Cypher had approached Jinx on the tower's top floor one day and said one simple thing: "I have an offer to make you."
Jinx doesn't know much about her newfound contractor and unofficial 'Gray Nova,' nor does she care to learn if he doesn't share. Cypher prefers this. He is a young lesser Kai, not quite rotten but different and misshapen enough to be a pariah from his kin. While it was the duty of the Shinjin to observe and watch over the mortal realms, Cervantes had taken this to a twisted extreme. Obsession with knowledge. Of knowing things, uncovering secrets, collecting information. To no particular purpose either.
If a bit of data existed - harmful or mundane - he wanted it. This fixation, along with his dour attitude, disrespect, and attempts to pry into secrets no lesser Kai could know, led to him being outcast. Cervantes quickly learned that mortals could be just as appreciative of knowledge as he was, given the right bits at the correct times. He took on a persona to distance himself from personal connections, acting as an impartial and business-oriented broker of information that often sold or exchanged his services for secrets instead of money.
The Nova Corps seemed to be just another gathering of high-powered thugs, until he looked into the founder more: Jinx. A Majin, seemingly as old as existence.
COMBAT INFORMATION

GENERAL TRAITS -

>> EAGLE EYED: By spending at least one turn with no KP action to focus on a single target, you may glean their true current PL through the veil of Energy Suppression and Energy Setting, but not Antisense. Additionally, your Offensive Techniques gain +20% power against Escape Techniques.

A technique that allows you to sense, measure, and differentiate the ki signatures of ki attacks and all living beings without the Anti-Sense trait. Higher ki signatures are easier to sense and can be sensed at greater distances than lower ones. This technique is passive and does not use KP.
MAGIC MATERIALIZATION
Characters with magical abilities can conjure objects or structures. Larger or more complicated things will take more energy and focus to create. This technique is passive and does not require KP.
