- **Brief history:** Once a normal human from a distant universe, Cipher lived a high adrenalin life on the wrong side of the law. Using his hacking skills, he harassed large companies and caused quite a bit of trouble for the government. But Cipher got too cocky, and angered the large robotics and security company RECA;L. RECA;L captured cipher and forcefully disconnected his mind from body. Enduring painful memory purges and robotics implants, Cipher quickly died. Before death, RECA;L transferred his memories and implanted them in their new prototype, Defense Matrix Prototype Designation Ӕther. Equipped with 2 fusion rifles and an energy shield, the project costed billions of Sans. (this world form of credits, equivalent to about 1.3 dollars.) However, since cipher died halfway through the memory purging process, his cognitive state had not completely deteriorated. Retaining his advanced hacking skills he quickly wrestled control of the drone and escaped the facility. Confused and scared what was left of cipher wandered the metropolis while RECA;L agents attempted to capture or destroy him. The battle that ensued destroyed part of the city, and Cipher escaped into the bordering wasteland.

 Now mostly confused than scared, Cipher floated into a cave and shut off all nonessential operations to sort out his memories. He retained all hacking and basic computational skills, memories of the torture RECA;L subjected him to and painful flashbacks he couldn't recognize. Not understanding what to do he debated committing suicide until the resident cave dweller returned. Surprised and confused at the large chunk of carbon and metal in his cave he whacked him with his staff. Since Ӕther had turned off all his sensors, he did not perceive the newcomer until an internal message informed him that his left gun had been removed. Quickly booting up the combat and defense systems, Ӕther woke up to see a short hooded man with some kind of mining laser, his left gun laying on the side. The enraged Ӕther powered up right gun ignoring the fact that the air surrounding him was deforming and splitting. Next thing he knew he was involuntarily sucked into a swirling vortex. “F*ck” Falling as if he was in a bottomless whirlpool, Ӕther observed the other poor creatures in the vortex, the most notable being a couple totem shaped humanoids and another retarded looking white fluffy thing with a tablet.

 After some time he was spit out onto a desolate tundra, now both guns disabled and the left hardpoint now had the man’s mining laser. Enraged at the irony of the situation Ӕther attempted to remove the laser but to no avail. Angered, Ӕther turned towards the forest and flew off. Not perceiving the passing time, Ӕther found himself at the entrance to a large citadel with Beiorg engraved on the gate. Using his newfound mining laser, Ӕther deconstructed the gate and hovered inside. There he found a giant lab, filled with autonomous repair and modification apparatuses. After a 3 minute construction montague with Fall Out Boy’s Immortals, Ӕther began modifying himself with the tools within the available resources. After Immortals had looped 7-8 times, Ӕther had upgraded the laser so that it had a longer range and could molecularly disassemble things much faster now. Some time later, he fired up the beatbox, slapped in Fall Out Boy’s Centuries and began installing a shield generator he got from a farmer’s market a mile away. Not knowing what to do next, he spent another 3 years within beiorg’s lab, wasting his time playing an online game “Warframe”.

- **Weapon Chosen + Innate Element:** Demolecularizer, fusion rifle, and shield generator. Innate element is thunder.
- **Fighting style:** Being a giant floating robot makes him kind of a easy target. So from what experience he has, Ӕther prefers to stay back and shoot with his fusion rifle. Without the lack of close range weapons, Ӕther relies on his jets to maneuver away and his shield to block anything else.
- **Summons:** Storm Warden Deimos, and Landeythan Ravenna
