Costume Appearance
Out of armor costume: Cylynx's costume out of her armor is a tan digital camo bodysuit, giving the appearance of a Lynx's coloration and spots. She wears a modified bike helmet with cat ears built into it to complete the design and theming of her costume.
Power armor costume: Cylynx's power armor is a far cry in coloration from her standard costume, styled in a rich blue with white accents. The nemean is designed with many catlike features despite the overall humanoid build, including false digitigrade legs and large ears on the top of the head. LEDs on the face allow for visual communication of emotions without words.
Civilian Appearance
Alia has long, straight, blonde hair that used to stick out the bottom of any hood of th sweaters she usually wears. It no longer sticks out as badly now that she has adopted an undercut style to provide easier access to where she's preformed self brain surgery
She has green eyes with dark bags under them, this girl doesn't rest much. She stands at 5'3" tall and 120lbs soaking wet.
Mentality
In costume Cylynx is a firm believer in 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.

Background & Trigger
Trigger type Single Standard Trigger
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.
CW: Sexual Abuse, Human Trafficking
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.)
