Name: Kye Lehto
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human (cyborg)

Character Description: Kye was born the only child of Alexander Lehto, a prominent businessman in Wing City, and Vera Swan, a famous movie star. Raised with access to money for whatever hobby he wanted to pursue, to buy any toy he wanted, Kye got used to a world where everything was good. Though his parents' work meant that they spent little time with him, his father always went out of his way to ensure that there was time every week (if not every day) where they could sit down, talk, and play. His mother tried, but as the years went by he saw less and less of her - her role filled by a young woman named Sarah Ward, his nanny. Sarah was a mother herself, though of much humbler backgrounds, and she was very careful and conscious of how privilege could make a person detestable in later life. By her influence, he learned that life didn't always serve you everything on a silver platter - and through the cooperation of his father, who himself had worked his way into money from meagre earnings - taught him the value of hard work. Though always an airy, carefree child, there was little (beyond the periods that any child went through) of the spoiled brats that rich families often produced in him.

Five years ago, when he was in his early teens, Kye was involved in a car accident - a truck hit his father's car when they were driving over an intersection. The impact killed his father and left Kye severely wounded. Paramedics were able to keep him alive until he reached a hospital. His injuries were too extensive for any normal medical methods to work, however, and the drain of magical healing would have killed him. He was stabilised, but completely unconscious and unlikely ever to wake again. The doctors gave him a maximum of two days to live. Kye's family was wealthy, however, and where standard medical procedures could not save him, vast fortunes could pay for more outlandish treatments. Kye was taken to a company that specialised in cybernetics; merging human and machine together to improve them. With funds provided by his mother, they replaced a large portion of his left torso and the entirety of his left leg (the most seriously injured portions of his body) with mechanical parts. Where even if he had survived, he would never have moved again, Kye would now - when he awoke - be more physically capable than he had ever been. To bring him out of his coma was more of a challenge, but here Wing City's magical community was in its element. Again, money was thrown at the problem, and a psychic magic-wielder was able to draw him out of his sleep. Kye was brought back from the verge of death by an amalgamation of technology and magic.

Tears were shed over the loss of his father, but eventually life went on. It took Kye a long time to adjust to his new body - he suffered frequently from bouts of irrational anger or depression, but thankfully for him Sarah was always there to lend an ear and a kind word. He came to accept himself, regain his confidence and cease dwelling over his father's death. As he grew older, his mind kept moving back to the accident in other ways, however. Vivid flashbacks of the moments he spent on the edge of death, as well as the minutes he spent clinically dead, filled his dreams and idle moment. Death began to fascinate him - he studied medical textbooks, took biology and theology classes at his school, watched documentaries about the afterlife and death, before finally looking to magic to widen his understanding. Seance, communing and necromancy all provided avenues to study it, but in the end it was necromancy which appealed to him the most. The ability to make a form of life from death, to infuse an empty shell with magical life and even to call on spirits from the afterlife itself. The physical side of death had interested him, but the spiritual and magical side became almost an obsession.

Sarah learned of his interest, and though she was worried, did not immediately forbid him from it. He was cautious, he worked within his limits - he sought instruction from teachers of magic and from manuals. At eighteen, he moved out of his parents' home and into a large apartment closer to the centre of the city. There he created himself a lab, of sorts - where he worked both with technology and magic to create and enhance necrotic creatures. From birds found at the side of the street to cats and rats in alleyways, Kye experimented with the dead - always steering clear of humans. For a necromancer, he was still particularly perturbed by the sight of human bodies.

With little need to work for his money, Kye spends most of his time wandering the city in search of new creations, or new friends. He does work part-time at a coffee shop, and has fitted in well with the scene there - dying his hair and working on his art skills 'because his friends there did it'. An easily impressionable young man, Kye likes to fit in in social environments, making little mention of his necromancy till he trusts someone or believes they won't be alarmed by it for other reasons.

Skills, Traits and Abilities:
Necromancy: Kye is a necromancer, though one with only three years of experience. He is well practised in the resurrection of small to mid-sized animals, keeping their bodies almost entirely intact and even regenerating those with severe damage. He knows only a little of other forms of necromancy such as curses and combat magic, capable of simple life drains and weakening/lethargic/disabling curses.

Cyborg: Kye's cybernetic body parts are covered with synthetic skin, leaving his appearance mostly unchanged - however, in his left arm and leg he has the strength of a machine, capable of delivering powerful blows and withstanding notable damage, suffering no pain.

Technician: Kye has some mechanical skill, often utilising it to enhance his necrotic creations in similar ways to how he himself is enhanced. He can solve most mechanical problems and is good at figuring out new things so long as there is room for trial and error.
