    Backstory and More

    Backstory: Cyrus grew up in the city of Glaohouis on the lush forest planet of Alpha Celestia II. This aforementioned city wasn't generally very advanced tech wise, most machines were steam-powered and scientists there had only barely scratched the surface of space travel. Fascinated by the machinery at an early age, Cyrus started aspiring to become an inventor or an engineer of sorts. At the age of 11 he began researching and learning more about steam-powered machinery, which eventually led him to constructing small devices from scrap a few years later. With a potential head start in his career, Cyrus slowly began to move onto bigger and bigger projects. Not until he was 20, however, was he able to make much more than trinkets and gadgets. At the time, he had a job in the city for repairing less complex machinery throughout the city, but in the free time he had over the past 3 years, Cyrus was figuring out more and more about inventing different types of machinery. Using scrap metals from broken down vehicles, Cyrus fashioned an automobile of sorts, albeit not one of exceptional durability or speed. Using this vehicle, Cyrus began to explore the forests of Alpha Celestia II. This was the first opportunity he had gotten to really do that sort of thing, as in the past all he could really do was wander the general vicinity of the city, and this experience really gave him an interest in exploration.. Now, with this tech, Cyrus didn't have to worry about stamina or endurance. Along his travels, however, he came across something rather peculiar. In the middle of a currently uncharted location, there was a partially damage ship mostly buried in dust and dirt. After weeks of slowly uncovering the vehicle, it seemed as if it was all worth nothing. The ship was too broken down to function, and most of the tech seemed too advanced for use in traditional machinery. Nevertheless, Cyrus loaded his steam-powered automobile with some of the scrap and parts from the ship, and headed off back to Glaohouis. By the time he had returned, his vehicle was very much damaged and pretty worn out, so this was a good time to try and create something even more useful. Besides the scrap metal, Cyrus also returned with an old, somewhat damaged FTL drive, a nonfunctional scanner, and some blueprints for mechanical necessities in the ship. Using these and his knowledge of the basic (and failed) attempts from others at engineering ships in the past, Cyrus began work on a new spaceship model. However, despite his knowledge and the materials at hand, progress was slow and really Cyrus wasn't finding anything revolutionary. Eventually though, citizens around town found out about his work, and soon rumors were spreading throughout Glaohouis of his project, eventually getting the attention of large corporations and businesses. This eventually led to Cyrus getting funds for the project as well as more refined parts and some tidy blueprints. Large corporations shared their knowledge on the subject with him, and with all of this combined, after several years, Cyrus was able to fashion a ship capable of travel throughout a solar system... at least, he hoped so. It wasn't very durable, so it wasn't a very safe method of travel, and the FTL drive wasn't fully repaired and thus the ship wasn't capable of jumping between solar systems, but regardless the ship was up and running, which meant there was a whole solar system worth of planets at his disposal. With the funds he had, Cyrus was able to get the vehicle running well enough that it was safe enough to test a launch. This event was revolutionary for this city. It was a COMPLETE success. Using launch pads and facilities from the companies who sponsored him, Cyrus was able to get that old hunk of scrap out of the atmosphere. The core of the FTL drive was still heavily flawed, but the ship could manage to travel between planets in a solar system. Cyrus used the patched up radar on the ship to scan the nearby planets, and he got a strange energy reading from one of them. Using a suit made to withstand low oxygen environments for short periods of time, Cyrus beamed down to the planet, only to find a large deposit of strangely familiar purple crystals. After taking a few back to the ship, he realized what he could use the crystals for. After opening up the FTL drive, he carefully extracted the fuel inside, which was an uncharged and mostly cracked version of one of the aforementioned crystals. After replacing it, the ship function much better and could travel through interstellar space much easier and to much greater lengths. He spent the next two years refining the ship until it was in a reasonably durable and safe state, gave the blueprints and material lists to larger manufacturing companies, and set off on an adventure throughout the galaxy in his refined vehicle. Now, he seeks new solar systems to explore and the unique flora and fauna found within, and will wander the galaxy aimlessly to find more new locales and uncharted territories.
    Extra: Once I can ill get a picture of him in game.
    Tech: Idk if it qualifies as tech really but basic equipment is just a basic iron revolver and a dagger for emergencies.

    That's all i've got to say about him. It probably isn't that great considering I typed it all up at 3 AM, but whatevs, ill post it anyway.

    EDIT: Replaced Drill Spear and Adaptable Crossbow with a revolver and a dagger.
