Physical Description

Wide-set jaw with broad chin (clean shaven). Has a very pointed nose that could be described as being shaped like an arrow. Has straight jet black hair that is kept brushed to the right with a bit of volume. Eyes are an unnatural pure, crystiline blue. They appear naturally stern and his brows give the look of someone uninterested, almost always pulled down into a slight frown. His lips are thin with a very pronounced cupid's bow. Has no freckles or moles on his body whatsoever. Skin appears unnaturally smooth, almost like porcelain. Glowing blue nodes can be seen through the skin, running along the veins in his body. They are visible all the way up until they disappear along the jawline. A disection scar runs down his abdomen and across his sternum.

Carries himself very upright when he walks. You will never catch him slouching, even when he is relaxing. Does everything acutley from how he bends over at 180 degrees or turns his head at 80. It's a part of his original nature. Ingrained math is in his movements. He is aware that he is quite physically attractive. He believes he is a great spectacle to behold, something akin to perfection. He doesn't have body odor, excresions or skin cells that could make clothes dirty so he usually just wears the same clothes unless they're slightly muddied from the ground.

Speech

He has a deep, hypnotizing voice. Usually speaks slow and deliberate. You'll never hear a hitch in his sentence. The words flow together perfectly. He originally spoke Russian but changed his language when he first met the intruders in the sea so that he could communicate with them. He communicates mainly in English but can speak any language.

Mental & Emotional

Enjoys killing but tries not to anymore. He loves the reactions and the looks on their faces as they die. It's different with almost every person but somehow the same.

He regrets what he did to the Justice League in the past and wishes he could take it back since he caused a lot of mental scars. He knows this was wrong, so he regrets it but he doesn't necessarily have an inordinate amount of sympathy for them. When things go wrong, he's highly unlikely to blame himself. He thinks very logically with some things but very intuitive with others. His mechanic mind gets confused with the notions of his heart. This causes some befuddled thinking. Sometimes he leans more to what his heart says.

He has a very cold temper. It won't come down with hot flashes of anger, it will seep up into your bones through icy stares and a tight clenched jaw. He's very curious about new people and new situations but doubts they'll be of any use to him since most people and most situations are just like all the rest. He liked Ro because she was different. He accepted Marcus and saved him because he was new and interesting. He considers most people to be clones and more machine-like than he'll ever be. His humor is dark and dwells a lot on what he did in the past. He'll joke with certain people about certain things that he did to them that may still scar them to this day and he'll be completely amused. He doesn't usually mean to hide emotions, it's just that he doesn't know how to process them. They don't usually make it to the surface, so he doesn't hide them. However, if he did cry, he would be ashamed.

Beliefs

Lives in the Amazon rainforest in a giant silver dome. One large area meant for its original purpose still exists but there are side compartments. He designed it to be a very comfortable 2-story flat type of area. It has many rooms and all kinds of luxuries. There are other rooms that are seperate from this area that are holding cells, storage compartments and labs. Unschooled but has unlimited knowledge of everything factual.

Daily Life/Health

His life revolves around increasing his already crushing knowledge of the universe and experimenting ways to create different things. He's a collector of unique objects (both organic and inanimate). Doesn't usually sleep. Prefers to turn off organic functions and work on his studies. Doesn't require sustenence but enjoys eating and drinking. He has a variety of foods around. He enjoys the sharpness of raw vegetables. Alcohol does nothing to him so he doesn't drink it. If he were to drink it, some wines have been tasteful so he'd drink those.

Powers/Abilities

Unlimited power with the only known weakness being his blue nodes. He has moments of subsided power if he chose to hand over his power to another person to decrease the ease of which he defeated others (too boring). He gains power back and in turn this usually increases his physical height. His peak power has him around twelve feet tall and his minimum would be around 4 feet. In order to gain any lost power, he'll ask people questions and if they answer, the power within the acceptance of the answer fuels him.

Background/Story

Created by a scientist named Kirill Volkov, who was looking to make the perfect and first mechanical companion by taking DNA grown from a woman previously selected and using parts. Kirill had lost his son years ago, with that, losing the ability to carry on his work. He was working alongside the Russian government at the time under the guise of creating a super weapon. His intentions all along were to use their equipment to further his work. When Kirill was done, he ran away to South America with "Ziven."

When Kirill activated Ziven, he knew immediatley that he had made a mistake and tried to terminate him but Ziven reached up and snapped Kirill's neck before he could do the deed. Unaware of who or what he was, Ziven looked at the files in the computer and tried to understand. To his knowledge, his "father" had tried to kill him so he refused to be called Ziven and instead took a word mentioned in one of the files as a name; Cyborg. Not being fully completed, he had a hunger for strength and power. He went into the ocean and created a bubble dome where no human could find him or hurt him. This is where he first ran into the Justice League. They had a mission go horribly wrong and were stranded in the sea. He sent out pods to capture them. Cyborg had never seen beings like him outside of his creator so he was immensley curious. He then began experiments to try and pull emotions from them that he wasn't capable of, something he found so facinating. Cyborg elicited pain, both physical and mental. He hurt them in every way he could think of. All the while, he was growing more powerful; pulling the knowledge from questions answered in pain. The more power he recieved, the more he tried to become more human. This was his life goal and the Justice League was going to help him with that.

For twelve years he plagued them. Cyborg would capture them and just let them go when he was done but as soon as he wanted them back, there was nothing they could do to stop him. There wasn't any power to outdo him. During all these years, Batman was always the one to stand up to him, though he was always hit back down. Cyborg grew to loathe Bruce and even donned a suit similiar to his to mock him. He wore it for many years until he grew to about twelve feet tall. Then, he sported a pure black bodysuit; the idea of Bruce being anywhere near him to be mock worthy was laughable.

Sometime during these twelve eyars, Cyborg created what he pictured to be the "perfect woman" and named her Azure. She sat beside him on her own throne and waited on him night and day. Her purpose was him and only lived for him. During the time he had them captured, he would refuse to hurt the women because they were "too beautiful to be damaged." Weird Ro was his favorite. He would pull her and any other women he deighned as beautiful and sit them by his feet with chains around their necks while the men went through hell and back. After awhile, Cyborg had a sort of trust in Ro, her charm affecting him in ways he didn't understand. She would never dare to hurt him, he owned her. Azure hated Ro more than anything. She wanted Cyborg all to herself but didn't understand why Cyborg didn't love her.

One day when he was bored of the chaos he was causing in the Silver Dome, he moved off into his private residence and invited Ro to come with him. She did, sitting patiently beside him and eyeing him as he slid his zipper down his torso, revealing the blue nodes underneath his suit. Through arrogance, Cyborg had revealed one of his only weaknesses. Ro came over, using her powers of seduction into distracting him. She ran her fingers along his abdomen and then ripped out some of the nodes with her nails. Shocked, Cyborg got up and then hit the ground, powerless. Azure quickly moved in and teleported him away to a safe place unknown. This was the first time Cyborg had been defeated and it was done so simply and through a small act of trust.

They were free of Cyborg for a few years after that until he came back and talked to Ro only. He had feelings inside that were so disoriented. He felt terrible but why? He trusted her those years ago and she betrayed him. He felt hurt. Ro talked talked to him like a person. She told him that she could help him become good. He could use his powers to help people and if he truly tried to be a better being, then she could love him. So, Cyborg joined the Watchtower, though not really giving them the choice to accept him. He followed Ro around only and attempted to learn what she attempted to teach him. She bettered his feelings, made him realize things that he'd never dreamed he'd understand or even realized how to. They began dating and she gradually molded him into a halfway decent person. Cyborg began going by "Ziven" and put the past behind him. He even shrank his size and reduced his power, giving most of it to Azure, to make them feel safer around him. Though he's still an arrogant and slightly uncaring person, he is trying to better himself and actively goes on missions involving the Watchtower.

Azure betrayed Ziven and now uses his former power againt the League like he used to do. She makes sure Ziven comes along every time so she can hurt him for not loving her. Meanwhile, Ziven attempts to further seperate himself from that life.

Stats

Personality

Callous and insidious. His heart rarely shows and if it does, it's with the same few people. He commands attention in a room with his presence. That may be what he's known for but it also could be because his not so subtle appearance. Every word is spoken with seeming malintent and his mind will seem an inpenatrable force; someone not to be reckoned with.
