Cyenia's Background

Cyenia was born Sarah Enia to a middle class family in Britain and is an only child, she was always a keen academic and worked hard at school, when it came to university she studied Robotics and biology which were the key subjects she needed to carry on and study cybernetics. After her first year she was doing extremely well and was the best in her classes, her university professors noticed this and talked about sending her to Massachusetts Institute of Technology to enable her to push her boundaries, that Summer Sarah received a letter in the post from MIT inviting her for an interview at her university campus explaining that she had been suggested by her professors, exited about this chance she happily attended the interview at which they were more the happy to take her.

1 Month later she got on a plane to Boston in the USA, there she got a taxi to the flat her new university had set her up with, the flat was somewhat basic but would fit her needs, it had a small kitchen which was joined with the main room of the flat, a nice bathroom and a decent sized bedroom that was furnished to the basics, on the desk in her bedroom there was an envelope with her name on it, inside was a letter printed on MIT stationary explaining when the new term started, what she needed to bring and how to get to the campus. It was then that she would start studying cybernetics, here she would be pushed to her limits and that was what she wanted. At the end of the following 2 years she had created a crude but working cybernetic exo skeleton, following tests on willing subjects she found that just by putting a small device on the back of the neck which was designed to gather brain signals that travelled down the spinal column before turning those signals into computer date to transmit to the exoskeleton, she found that it was possible to make the exoskeleton walk and move like a human, she found this would even work on disabled people who had lost control of their limbs.

Creation of the suit

After leaving MIT Sarah started to work on breaking the suit into smaller parts so mover units could be placed over the joints of someone with paralysis to enable them to have some use of those limbs again, she built each mover with a mechanical replica of a muscle so it could bend as it moved, this would be placed inside the unit with a couple millimetres of aluminium on each side, over time after putting these items up for sale mainly to medical professions she was earning a fair amount, she did feel that the technology wasn't just limited to this, but to do what she wanted she needed a bigger lab so she rented one out on the outskirts of Millennium city, this did however mean a train to and from the lab but she didn't mind the commute.

Only some months later the first suit was created, it was somewhat basic as she had just put the movers together with spacers for the users limbs.

She thought she could go further on this but first she needed to link this lab with her small lab at home to increase security and provide a personal safety feature.

Once this set-up was complete she set about creating the new suit, this would be her personal one, she just hoped she would never need to use it.

Sarah decided to have a bit of fun with her new suit, she put a number of gadgets inside it stored within quantum space, powered it by a nuclear fusion reactor which yet again was stored within quantum space and a limited AI that would enable the suit to look out for itself and user.

The Incident

She had just finished fitting everything to the suit which was now mainly a blue colour with a bit of purple and white in various spots, the jet rockets in the back of the suit were operating within 98% efficiency and the quantum retraction system was working fine, and she had also fitted it with a cybernetic replacement system so if any part of the users body was damaged beyond repair or already gone it would replace what was there with cybernetic appendages.

Deciding to call it a day she made her way to the train station to await the train home, sometime through the journey something happened causing the train to derail, in the resulting aftermath Sarah was pinned down by three bars of metal, one at the top of the left leg and one in each shoulder, she was bleeding quite heavily and knew that she was not going to make it out alive, fortunately a number of heroes soon came upon the scene and set about helping everyone, the one that helped Sarah had some sort of fire based power of so she thought as she quickly cut off the limbs that were badly damaged before cauterizing her wounds, at which point she flew her out of there to the nearby ambulances just as the train section she was in collapsed, she was slightly annoyed at the hero but also very grateful as she knew had she remained there much longer she would probably have been squashed to death or bled out.

She was then rushed to hospital where her wounds were cleaned up and the parts where the hero had cauterized her would was bandaged up, she was kept in a few days for observation but was eventually discharged but not before she was given a motorized wheelchair that she could control with her only remaining leg.

Armouring Up

When she got home she managed to get back into her small lab to press one button she never wanted to touch, this sent a signal to the suit in her main lab to come to her location, after 20 minutes the suit turned up at which point a stand extended from its back before the limbs performed their quantum retraction, after that the suit's torso opened up at which point Sarah got up and managed the feat of getting into the torso, at this point the torso closed up around hers, making the limbs extend out again from quantum space, it then noticed she no longer had arms and that one leg was missing, it then set about injecting the stumps with a local aesthetic before opening up the cauterized wounds to enable robotic limbs that it would draw from quantum space to meld with her own flesh, the limbs were able to connect directly to the suit allowing Sarah direct control.

Knowing what she had built into the suit Sarah decided to make use of the various gadgets she decided to become a hero in Millennium city under the name Cyenia, at that point she activated the helmet of the suit which also contained a H.U.D and flew out of her lab to start paroling the city, It wasn't long after when the Qulaar attacked and Cyenia was put to the test.
