Description

Ivan Surov was once the crown jewel of Novarus Cryogenics—a prodigy in temporal thermodynamics and nanotechnology. His groundbreaking invention, cryo-nanites, were designed to suspend organic tissue in stasis, promising medical miracles. But when war broke out between the Earthbound Federations and orbital colonies, his peaceful tech was weaponized. Forced into service, Ivan rewired his nanites to manipulate time's flow on a micro scale—freezing enemy movements, disrupting kinetic energy, and crashing cybernetic systems mid-strike. As CryoSyn, he became a tactical legend: silent, precise, capable of pausing a battlefield in seconds. However, the nanites operate by leeching bio-energy from his own body, slowing his metabolism to near-death states. Overuse causes systemic shock—seizures, blackouts, even brief cardiac failure. He approaches every engagement like a chess match, calculating not only his enemies' moves but his own time-to-collapse. Stoic and reserved, Ivan believes war is a puzzle to be solved, not glorified. His battlefield is a frozen canvas of motionless violence, his presence marked by the sudden silence of halted time. Deep down, he longs for redemption—for his tech to heal instead of harm. But until peace comes, CryoSyn fights with cold precision, knowing every freeze may be his last.
