a commission from my friend (we're friends, right man?), the talented http://www.furaffinity.net/user/besonik/
as you can see, Ganty is fairly heavily Cybered up, having come out the other side of involuntary Transhu-... erm.. Transsapiensism after a catastrophic war between the Dragon clans of his Homeworld, and the Dagallian elves, followed a few centuries later by another conflict between a recently-arrived one-way Human colonisation expedition from what was left of his universe's incarnation of Terra/Sol/Earth and the then-dominant Elves.
almost a millennia on, and the Planet's population are STILL trying to pick up the pieces X_X
anyway, Gant's a bit of a Dork, swinging from Confident and cheerful to cripplingly shy and awkward in a moments notice, and has achieved somewhat of a reputation for having an unreliable memory, especially about the exact series events that lead to his Extensive set of implants and complete lack of living Kith, Kin, and Clan- and a garbled Racial memory that gives him great difficulty separating his memories from his father's complicates matters even further....
Generally friendly sort who LIKES being liked, but has.. issues with elvenkind, bordering on psychotic hatred( please note he IS capable of both restraint and rational, if somewhat hostile, behaviour towards NON-Dagallian elves), due to his treatment at the hands of a Cyber-Geneticist by the name of Lady Cyrandis "The Fair"
also notable is that he has..issues with Self-styled Dieties, Especially Bahamut,specifically the Dagallian Incarnation of whom he holds personally responsible for the Deaths of his Sire,Dam, "uncle" and unhatched siblings due to "inaction" though whether or not this is valid remains to be seen....

That's one heck of a badass design ^^. It's the 'circuit scales' details that really impresses me. The Crystal growth gives me the impressions of some products of a sickness that only could be 'halted' through the cybernetics implants.
From what I could read, yet another victim of Humanoids...

Partly right!
I need to rewrite this at some point >.<
The crystals were originally secondary shrapnel from the blast that started the attack in his clan’s lair.
I’ll say this much- they were actually part of an adoptive member of his clan who was the target of the bomb-who’s death essentially broke Gantra’s father due to psychic shock….
and whilst their growth hasn’t caused more then minor health issues, the initial shards were what cost him his eye/fore and hindleg- and incapacitated his mother, who would otherwise been the only one of the 8 present in a physical/mental state to fight back
the majority of the attackers -were- elves, but they were mercenaries, and he (correctly) suspects their client was a high ranking member of one of the other dragon clans motivated by a petty grudge against his father- but he’s never had enough evidence to act without being censured by a clan council that’s already corrupt, and equally prejudiced against him for being ‘chromed up to the brink of cyber-zombiehood……

for extra context, its a term from shadowrun-
involving bleeding-edge implants, so invasive/extensive to the point that the subject would die from essence loss (soul erosion/detachment from their body) without enchantments woven into the mix to "fool" their subconscious/body into not fully realizing how extremely altered they are- Gantra's universe doesn't quite operate under the same ruleset, but its a relatively quick and easy term for how altered he is under his cosmetic reconstructive surgury- everything from bone to muscle is altered/augmented, with varying degree's of success-
he spent a long time having a badly-botched Myomer muscle weave (intertwining synthetic,stronger muscle fibers with the original to increase strength) fixed/replaced, because it pulled slightly to the side and caused accelerated muscle wear/tearing whenever he moved, for example...
