Cylynx is a relatively new member of the Devilfish Wards, having been transferred down to Devilfish after an incident during a cape conflict in Edmonton, resulting in the loss of life. As a full time Hero and open ward of the state Cylynx is proud to share her stories, for the most part, during her albeit short time in the Wards up north.

Equipment and Resources
- Wealth Level 6
- Tinker Lab
- Lodgings on base
Skills and Specializations
Adept with a scalpel, self surgery skills don't come cheap. Minorly good story teller, mostly tales about various Heroes she's either worked with or cape gossip.
Mentality
In costume Cylynx is a firm believer is a Hero's sworn duty, to protect those who cannot protect themselves even if it means being in harms way, going as far as to disobey orders to stay out of fights that she cannot win.
Out of costume Alia is slower, not anti-social but seems to be constantly tired. Likely from being so high energy as Cylynx, not that she'd ever admit that she acts too differently between the personas.
Power
- Trigger type: Natural, first generation. (Magi x Magi) Walking Armory Bio-tinker
Tinkertech
| Creator | Phalanx for Cylynx |  |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Designed to evoke the image of a feline. This suit is purposely less-bulky than Phalanx's armor, designed for Cylynx's agile and nearly gymnastic fighting style. | |
| Abilities | Designed for use by Cylynx in conjunction with her 'Black Carapace' implant, which allows the use of the suit as though it were an extension of her body (IE better spacial awareness, dexterity, etc).
Although the suit can be worn and used without it, though without the benefits granted by her Implant. The suit is much more sleek and modular than Phalanx's prior designs, this is intentional, to more easily allow upgrades and attachments in the future, and to better accommodate Cylynx's implants. (Type III armor) Weighing about 200lbs, the hydraulic frame easily capable of nullifying its own bulk and weight, allowing the wearer access to their full range-of-motion and dexterity, helping to lessen physical exertion. Capable of hitting on par with a super heavy-weight boxer, and can lift up too 1000lbs before damaging its servos and hydraulics. Equipped with a Prehensile tail, ending in prehensile digits, able to release a Taser-level shock. Possesses advanced (cybernetic-grade) pressure and temperature sensors, allowing a near-human level sense of touch. Additionally this Frame is equipped with three vision modes: Human spectrum, Infrared, and 6x zoom. Built-in-radio and smartphone. Military-tier Gas-mas air filter. Slots in the hands for Cylynx's claw implants. Capable of displaying LED facial expressions and Text on the helmet exterior (much like Phalanx's own helmet.) | |
Designed to give Cylynx a bit of survivability in light of her seeming lack of self-preservation instinct. built out of modular pieces should Cylynx or other tinkers wish to contribute gadgets to the suit. | ||
Backstory
Born and raised in Wetaskiwin Alberta, had a relatively normal childhood though a minor cape geek. Alia was kidnapped while leaving a Seven-Eleven where she'd stopped to grab a snack on the way home from school.
Trigger Event
A blonde teenage girl sits on her bed, shrunk back in the corner to make herself as small as possible. The room is lit by a single, flickering florescent bulb hanging from the ceiling. The sounds of yelling and an occasional gunshot echo into the room; each one drawing her eyes to the door for a moment before she sniffs and looks back to the mattress.
The silence stretches on longer after the last gunshots. She begins to worry, not about the people outside, but about what will happen to her if she's not found. The anxiety is the most potent emotion she's experienced in what feels like years to her.
Eventually the door opens with a click and a man joins her in the room, sitting on the edge of the bed and tapping his foot with impatience. "Today, girl. It's been stressful." She's weak, hungry, and broken but still responds exactly as she's been trained.
Her body is a weapon, used against her and conditioned to respond to their wishes... The Protectorate isn't coming. The PRT isn't coming. The Police aren't coming. Alia Long has been here for years, and the harsh reality finally sinks in as she goes through the motions.
She triggers and the man doesn't even notice. When she regains focus her mind is full of ways to become stronger, to never let herself become that again.

Further notes: Cylynx was still held by the criminal elements for another several months until she accumulated enough resources and supplies to preform her first self surgery, allowing her two claws with which she executed one of her captors and injured another (resulting in his death) before escaping and fleeing, being lucky enough to encounter a police patrol car (Sadly in a more direct way, the car was undamaged and Cylynx only had three cracked ribs.)
