No Man's Cypher:Aron Boone

Aron Boone before the carapace grafts.

Aron Boone

Bioengineered Survivalist who Moves Quickly and Quietly

(Rugged Explorer who Moves like the Wind with Stealth Flavor)

Early Life

Aron was born to a Bioengineered couple during a war between his people and the Cyborgs. He inherited his parents​ enhancements of increased strength, endurance, agility, and speed. Trying to stay out of the war, Aron's family lived in densely wooded, mountainous areas. As far as Aron knew, this hunter gatherer lifestyle was normal, and for the most part he had a happy childhood. As the war consumed more and more of the land, it finally caught up to Aron and his parents. His parents were killed.

Guerrilla Force

Aron decided to join a guerrilla force and fight back. These rebels had some bioengineering capabilities. Aron requested carapace armor plates to be grafted over his chest, back, upper arms, and thighs. After a few months of conducting raids on Cyborg instillations, he was captured and imprisoned.

Imprisonment

Aron spent two years in prison.

Escaping Prison

Aron escaped prison. Disguised as a Cyborg sympathizer, Aron managed to get a job on a starship leave the planet.
