Possibly the best drawing I have done of ANY character up to date, this one really captures who and what Zypher is. But instead of typing a big long descrip off the top 'o me 'ead, I'm gonna give ya'll a pre-typed profile of the character! Yayness!

Only will really know the char, though XD

Oh, yeah.... That Quote? NO idea where it came from, but it's not really mine... I think it's a bumper sticker or sumthin....

Zypher- Normal Irken
Age: Fifty or so, possibly even older
Personality: Once a very joyful, optimistic man with a great love of his family, job, friends, and life. His adoration of his wife surpassed that of all those around him, and he tried hard to be the model husband. Achieving this happily, he took great pleasure in his place in life, having two children, named Pife and ____(<~ yup, that one I haven't gotten a definate name for yet XD). Unfortunately, on Pife’s fifth birthday, his wife and oldest daughter, of the age of seven, died in a horrible accident, and from then on his life took a rather devastating turn. Unable to handle the death of his wife, he took out all his frustration on his daughter, beating her horribly on an almost daily basis, falling into the dark aspects of street life as he tried desperately to forget. He lost his job, most of his money, and his self-respect over the course of a single year. Desperate for money to pay off a debt that was growing larger by the day, he gave his daughter his only worthwhile possession, the armband previously worn by his wife, and sold her off to become an experiment. After that his life became slightly more bearable, and he began to clean up a bit, getting a different job and managing to keep it, taking his life one day at a time. Still a changed Irken, however, as he became pessimistic, sarcastic, sour, violent, and a crafty, shrewd dealer in some rather questionable materials. He is a mechanic of almost unparalleled talent, despite his reluctance to work or finish things, and he makes rather good money due to the fact that he can swindle clients out of their wallets rather easily and get away with it.
Abilities: Somehow he always manages to get out of tight situations with the upper hand, even when it seems he won’t be able to. Plus his amazing talent with machinery. But other than that, no abilities to say so.
Weaknesses: His cocky attitude, sensitive eyes, and rather mediocre strength. Also has a tendency to get upset over small references to his wife. Rarely knows when to back down until things get seriously dangerous, though often gets out of it because of his innate ability to avoid punishment.
