Name: Douglas Aaron Ramsey
Codex: Cypher
Age: 16
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 135lbs
Hair Colour: Dirty Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Attire: Typical American upper-middle class attire. Abercrombie, etc.
Originally from: Salem Center, NY
Affiliation: New Mutants
Known family: Phillip (father), Sheila (mother)
Powers: Innate Language Communications
Cypher's ability is an innate understanding of all languages, human, computer or alien. Douglas has an active psionic translation field and intuitively translates any languages he comes into contact with including written, spoken, or computer. This field can be extended over a few mile radius to enable translation and communication between all individuals in his range.
Fighting Skills: Moderate Hand to Hand
Doug's lack of a physical power prevents him from lifting 10 tons, but his ability to pick up on body language gives him a slight edge in the martial arts training that he has begun to compensate for said lack of physical powers.
Weaknesses: Kitty Pryde, Illyana Rasputin, Rahne Sinclair, video computer games, Hot Pockets, and Vanilla Chai lattes.
Personality: Well adjusted prodigy child with a family life that resembles 1980s sitcoms (very few 'special episodes'), Doug embodies the concept of "get your geek on". Smart, observant, and practical, Doug is a living example of just because you know something doesn't necessarily mean that you understand it (ask him about girls and body language sometime... )
Hobbies and Pastimes: Kitty Pryde, Illyana Rasputin, Rahne Sinclair, video computer games, Hot Pockets, and Vanilla Chai lattes.
Likes and Dislikes: Yearns to be useful and needed, and hates to feel helpless. Everything else is just semantics.
Occupation: Student
Bio: Douglas Ramsey was a teenage friend of Kitty Pryde of the X-Men, sharing an interest in computers and video games. Although Ramsey became a friend of the New Mutants, he was unaware that he and they were mutants. The techno-organic alien (Technarch) being Warlock arrived on Earth and, confused and terrified, found himself battling the New Mutants. Seeking to communicate with the alien, the New Mutants summoned Ramsey and revealed their costumed identities to him. Ramsey succeeded in initiating communications with Warlock, and both joined the New Mutants. Ramsey was code-named Cypher, after his ability to decipher languages.
Cypher became close with Warlock, who aided Ramsey in battle situations by merging with him, creating a single being that operated as a gestalt. When they merged, they took the form of Ramsey’s human body covered with Warlock’s “living circuitry”, allowing Ramsey to perceive his environment in the same way Warlock did. At first, Ramsey’s and Warlock’s consciousnesses remained separate within the single body; the more the pair merged, their personalities rapidly began to resemble one another’s. Cypher also aided Warlock in his fight against his father, the Magus, by reprogramming the Magus to an infant state.
