  21. Traits:
  22. Regret, formerly Absolutism, is a Cyberkon scientist and arcane  
  23. physicist focused on non-Newtonian machine interfacing. Born  
  24. thousands of years into the future, in the centuries before the  
  25. great Disaster he was a Crystal Magi Artist of some renown,  
  26. known for his experimentation and research into the nature of  
  27. the Crystal Heart. His memories of this Age are mostly forgotten  
  28. and what remains is highly fragmentary. What is remembered is  
  29. this, that when the Disaster came, Regret helped the high Magi  
  30. in experimenting on the Crystal Heart. His research into the  
  31. Heart's infinitely complex interworkings was instrumental in the  
  32. experiments on the Heart that eventually led to its destruction,  
  33. and Regret blames himself for its loss. When the Heart was lost,  
  34. Regret abandoned magic and magitek for the grim salvation of  
  35. hard science, destroying his Soul to gain immortality through a  
  36. metal body and a steel mind, imbedded on circuitry and lines of  
  37. code. Seeing no escape from the incoming Disaster, and  
  38. abandoned by those they once considered kin, Regret followed  
  39. the rest of the Cyberkon race into the high Past, hoping prevent  
  40. the Disaster by undoing the events that led to it in the first  
  41. place.
  42.  
  43. When the Cyberkon's first arrived in the past there was a great  
  44. period of optimism, that the Cyberkon would easily destroy their  
  45. kin and inherit the galaxy, that nothing would stand in their  
  46. way, that a new golden age of pure Science would banish  
  47. superstition and old gods from civilized space. When Ponykind  
  48. proved to be more resilient than they imagined, and when aliens  
  49. began making strides against them, the Cyberkons became far more  
  50. pessimistic, and began looking to the long term. During this  
  51. brief age of optimism, Regret was known as Arch-Physicist  
  52. Absolutism, a servant of the Arch-Prince Umbra, master of a  
  53. consider portion of the Cyberkon Race. Under his leadership,  
  54. numerous Cyberkon worlds and structures were raised in the  
  55. galaxy, dozens of worlds fell to their superior Technology, and  
  56. Ponykind lost significant area to the future invaders. However  
  57. when Ponykind regrouped, Absolutism's machines were undone, and  
  58. Umbra was sent into withdraw. Absolutism's forces were cut off  
  59. and absorbed into another Cyberkon Collective, where Absolutism  
  60. helped design the Algorithm Sublime Research and Production  
  61. Sphere, or simply "Algorithm", the world two meters wide.
  62.  
  63. As the ages flew by, Absolutism grew more and more despondent,  
  64. as his memories became lost or damaged with numerous successive  
  65. deaths and failed back-ups, and as relish and enjoyment even in  
  66. the purely intellectual pleasures became more and more  
  67. difficult. Seeking to obtain salvation for himself from  
  68. elsewhere, Absolutism defected from the Collectives, leaving  
  69. Cyberkon space on a series of research missions into numerous  
  70. alien and pony worlds, often in disguise. His mission was to  
  71. find a way to return the Cyberkons to fleshy bodies by relinking  
  72. their spirits with the Crystal Heart. However without access to  
  73. the Heart itself, and furthermore afraid to risk damaging it  
  74. again, Regret [as he took to calling himself] was forced to  
  75. wander the galaxy, looking through old Magi archives and data  
  76. caches, pilthering through data piles and seeking hints at how  
  77. to undo the process and restore his lost Soul.
  78.  
  79. Eventually he was captured by a group of Knights of Sorcery, who  
  80. intended to take the specimen to the Nebula for further  
  81. research. Disaster struck when assassins under the command of  
  82. the Intelligency Agency attempted to capture Regret and  
  83. decapitate the Sorcerers. In the confusion, Regret escaped and  
  84. caught a way off world stowed aboard a Macro Cosmo ship. The  
  85. Green Sun. When he discovered it was a recently recommissioned  
  86. Merchant ship, he revealed himself to the Captain [or rather,  
  87. First Officer] offering his services as the ship's engineer in  
  88. exchange for sanctuary aboard the ship. Using advanced  
  89. technology and his thousand-year skills at computer hacking and  
  90. control, he then forged Sanctioning Files along every level of  
  91. development with masterful craftsmanship, down to fake serial  
  92. numbers, allowing him to pass Imperial checkpoints without heavy  
  93. suspicion. For safety, he still prefers to travel with other  
  94. pony officers aboard the ship, to "vouch" for him.
  95.  
  96. Traits: Orderly, logical, refined, emotionless, mechanistic,  
  97. sophisticated, deceitful.
