Klavier Westley

[1990-1995] Early Years
Klavier L'belle, alongside his sister, was born in London to Francis and Elise L'belle. Francis served the city as a high-ranking surgeon, with their Mother formerly serving as a secretary before falling ill. He, alongside Victoria, saw very little of their parents; instead being raised by a combination of nannies and boarding schools.

[1996-2008] School Life
Klavier found himself fluent in most forms of his schooling, with a focus on mathematics and art. In addition, he seemed adept socially; often surrounded by a crowd, even at a young age.

As time passed on, the weight to succeed his father in medicine grew; something he, unfortunately, had little interest (or skill) in.

Upon entering Secondary school, he began focusing his talents towards Engineering design, taking the occasional programming class during off hours. Perhaps due to his family's standing, he grew an interest in politics and differing cultures, often joining his Father for public health talks.

Upon finishing Secondary School and receiving the University invitation of a lifetime, he vanished without a trace.

[2008-2016] Salvation Comes
The boy had ventured plenty within the confines of the web, making a number of friendly contacts and finding sources of information. None of it quite felt like enough for him.

Through a number of questionable channels, he came to hear of a group responsible for committing unheard-of acts of crime. Breaking through flawless security systems, holding their own against private military, the like. Sounded like a perfect starting point.

With a bit of reasoning and a surplus of luck, he managed to predict the group's next target: a hidden research lab, tucked away in the snowy countryside of Russia. He had only heard of the site through rumors with his Father; its actual existence was a shock. Getting in, however, would've proven impossible - unless you knew what you were getting into.

The crew arrived to find a crude entrance prepared for them, with their new Engineer waiting, a stylized drill in hand.

Following the job, details left an enigma to the present day, the boy found himself under scrutiny from the thieves. The only thing saving him from an execution proved to be his cunning, and a vouch from a woman named Snow Crannel. The white-haired woman seemed to have an odd fascination in the new member, opting to make him a "project" of hers going forward.

Traveling with his new pack, Klavier, taking the stage name Voltaic, learned quite a bit of the world: the most surprising of all the supernatural forces around them. Slowly awakened into a Cognizant world, he found his own place in it. His relationship with the thieves, Snow Crannel in particular, slowly grew, until one fateful night of drinks caused a hiccup. He found himself with his white-haired mentor alone, when he saw the world go dark.

His memory of the next few months remain hazy to the present, but the one part he couldn't forget was the birth of two children: Monica and Simon, his offspring with the she-demon, Snow. The two decided to leave the children in the hands of caretakers, unwilling to give up their lives to act as parents.

What the two had could be described as romance. They had an unspoken bond that even the other members were envious of. However, he began to see Snow's true colors following the twins' birth.

[2016-2017] Rise and Fall
The two began to drift apart following a few key events. Klavier, spending his off time traveling and learning, met a select individual in Paris who, apparent to all but him, struck a cord with him. Upon returning from his trip, he seemed oddly optimistic - something he would've never been known for before. Snow, however, seemed to be spiraling: showing signs of obsessive behavior, and more openness to chaos and violence.

They began having arguments regarding the group's doings: Klavier wanted to push towards a Robin Hood-esque direction, helping the people with what they could offer. Snow believed the people didn't deserve help - after all, they aren't capable enough to do it themselves. The divide continued to grow, with jobs growing farther and farther apart.

[2018] Anarchy
Klavier, along with a few Salvation Comes members believing in his ideals, split within the group to form The Anarchists, a group dedicated to helping the unaware public by exposing corrupt world behaviors. As opposed to playing for wealth and thrill, they wanted a purpose.

Snow retaliated, claiming Presidency of the fractured group, and organizing war - one which she won with ease, given the difference in numbers. One order later, the rebels were all slain... spare one.

The last one went into hiding. Regrouping, reorganizing...

[2019] Greyrock Shipping Co.
In early 2019, a company was founded in the United States: Greyrock Shipping Co., a secured, private shipping company, which began gathering contracts from large-scale companies, and minor government jobs. To this day, it's unsure how such an obscure company had the reach necessary to both grow so quickly, and get as many questionable jobs as they did.

The CEO, a Klavier Westley, was the ideal of the American Dream: a boy from a single, poor mother; worked his way tirelessly through school, to get a full ride through college from skill alone. Not that any other story can be proven. He allegedly had two children and a wife, but records claim they were killed in a motor accident years ago.

[2020-2028] Anarchy Revived
Serving under the shadow of Greyrock Shipping Co. lives a small, elite group, known for producing Government leaks, corrupt behavior, the like. With buildings everywhere across the country, and a number overseas, the group found themselves with more than enough reach.

Klavier found himself the face of a highly-scrutinized company, having to juggle the company, his own public image, and a number of law enforcement and investigation forces. All in a day's work.

Personality
Klavier, throughout the years, remains a schemer; putting on faces to get what he wants from others.

Yet, as time went on, his intentions slowly grew more and more pure, eventually fully believing in a better society for all. Be it through indirectly meddling in the Cognizant world through the Anarchists, or directly working with countries and organizations, he strives to progress towards his ideal world.

[Adaptation] Mechanical Body
Klavier's body, as a result of electrical exposure during Cognizant development times, is able to convert electricity to energy. When the recipient of electricity, the user's physical speed increases exponentially, and the user is rendered immune to electrical damage.

Ingenuity
Shown to pick up new skills quickly, along with replicating others' talents if shown visually.

Programming Wonder
Responsible for most of the security-breaking software used by Salvation Comes.

FAMAS F1
An assault rifle, formerly used by the French Military. Used for its naturally high rate of fire and precision.

Conduit Arm
A mechanical limb made to replace Klavier's right arm. Appears as a dark steel, sleek limb with few signs of its robotic nature. Contains a prototype magitech generator, able to pull Aether from the environment and convert it to electricity for use with his Adaptation, and the device's own energy supply.

WITNESS Implant
WITNESS, in development from the beta Widget, implanted into the user's head, allows the AI's features to be accessed through thoughts.

Voltaic Suit
The Voltaic Suit is intended as the Machine's combat attire, consisting of:

Headgear
A bulletproof helmet, with visuals connected to WITNESS mods. Able to activate distance finder, a zoom module, recording software, and logistics.

The Suit
An avant garde design, consisting of a black and white floral-designed jacket and shirt. Fitted with a layer of body armor, a number of batteries, and first aid. The left sleeve, opposite his Conduit Arm, holds a grappling gun for mobility.

The Boots
A simple pair of dress boots, designed to reduce noise. Known to have compartments for blades, able to eject themselves upon WITNESS' request.
