Cipher

partially cybernetic, enough where dying isn't an issue (not including tech malfunctions), exists far off in the future, possibly another char for sol's story (opens up more possibilities for when the current one ends), ears are very expressive (can move in any direction and can adjust glow intensity), black parts are metal of some kind, while the white is a hard yet flexible material holding the rest of their body together (can't be seen), doesn't need food but can still eat and process it like normal, still has most of their vital organs, however, there are already mechanical back-ups set to activate once the flesh and blood conterpart fails (temperary but expected to be able to keep up functions long enough for an up-to-date version to take its place), brain is essentially a small computer, will remember anything it's told or learns, cabable of speech (though has a strange habit when talking...)

yes this is what it looks like when I'm brainstorming (usually kept in a google doc or sent in a private discord server before moving (some of it) here all cleaned up) got started on ideas suddenly and got carried away...
