Name: Taylor Crest
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Taylor is 6' tall and of a muscular -- but not bodybuilder-type -- build; as in, he's obviously muscular, but it's more lean than bulgy. He has a large tattoo (or several tattoos just attached to each other -- he always changes the story) that starts on his back in the form of a spiral burst; from there, tendrils slide and knot their way around his body, down his legs and arms.
Personality: Taylor is very confident, almost arrogant. He's a huge flirt and doesn't seem to take anything seriously, as he's constantly joking and laughing. His sense of personal space is a bit different than most people's. He usually seems to be in an upbeat mood, and tries to remain optimistic with a touch of realistic. He can be serious, deadly serious, when he needs to be, but it's
only when he needs to be. He has a save-the-world attitude, and thus is always sticking his head into trouble, trying to help people (ranging from innocent "let me help you carry that" to "I'll beat the living daylights out of that ass"). Despite his somewhat self-centered attitude (which comes off as worse than it actually is) he's actually very caring; he strongly believes in the potential good in the world and tries to bring it out.
Taylor was born with chromesthesia, but it had never bothered him, until he got the Angel implant. The implant strongly affects his chromesthesia; after use, he'll start to show signs of other kinds of synesthesia and possibly small hallucinations, worsening with continued use. After extended use, the synesthesia gets worse, mixing up his senses and making him unable to be aware of anything. The hallucinations get worse, also, which just makes him completely unable to tell what's real and not. During these times, he's irrational, paranoid, and likely to lash out because of that.
Augmentations: His love for augmentation shows: his hair is able to change colour at will (though it's not a quick process, and the length effects the time), his palms are embedded with a holographic projector in each that is Gridlinked, his bones are reinforced, and more practically, his lungs have been 'repaired' to allow him to breathe better due to a childhood illness restricting his lung capacity. He plans on getting more, but has yet to decide what.

Weaponry: Only a small, yet sharp pocket knife with a serrated edge on the blunt side. Like him, it's a little flamboyantly coloured.
Biography: As a child, Taylor had the boring nuclear family; both parents, an older brother, average house and income and lifestyle. Even as a kid, it bothered him; he always had a need for adventure and thrills. However, he came down with severe bronchitis as a child, and the disease damaged his lungs so he was unable to breathe well. His lungs were repaired, and he fell in love with the idea of augmentations. As a child, that life-saving augmentation made him feel like a superhero, like he was invincible. Combined with his reckless abandon, he found himself getting hurt a lot.
As he grew, he tamed a bit, but still found himself lusting after thrills. His teenage years were full of Raptor races, stupid dares, and broken bones, leading to him getting his bones reinforced via augmentation. Once he graduated high school, he found himself calming down a little more. He still loved adventure, but was less likely to seek out the stupid things he did as a teenager. At the age of 20, he decided to get the Angel implant, but as the side effects started to show, he used it less and less, afraid of having an 'episode'. This spurred his decision to go to college. His goal is a doctorate in neuroscience, so he can research how to fix the effects of the implant. After that, he doesn't have any goals.
Other Notes: Currently employed as a pharmacy technician in order to help pay his tuition.
Sorry I didn't get it up last night, was stuck on the bio. ^^;
