Traits:
Regret, formerly Absolutism, is a Cyberkon scientist and arcane
physicist focused on non-Newtonian machine interfacing. Born
thousands of years into the future, in the centuries before the
great Disaster he was a Crystal Magi Artist of some renown,
known for his experimentation and research into the nature of
the Crystal Heart. His memories of this Age are mostly forgotten
and what remains is highly fragmentary. What is remembered is
this, that when the Disaster came, Regret helped the high Magi
in experimenting on the Crystal Heart. His research into the
Heart's infinitely complex interworkings was instrumental in the
experiments on the Heart that eventually led to its destruction,
and Regret blames himself for its loss. When the Heart was lost,
Regret abandoned magic and magitek for the grim salvation of
hard science, destroying his Soul to gain immortality through a
metal body and a steel mind, imbedded on circuitry and lines of
code. Seeing no escape from the incoming Disaster, and
abandoned by those they once considered kin, Regret followed
the rest of the Cyberkon race into the high Past, hoping prevent
the Disaster by undoing the events that led to it in the first
place.

When the Cyberkon's first arrived in the past there was a great
period of optimism, that the Cyberkon would easily destroy their
kin and inherit the galaxy, that nothing would stand in their
way, that a new golden age of pure Science would banish
superstition and old gods from civilized space. When Ponykind
proved to be more resilient than they imagined, and when aliens
began making strides against them, the Cyberkons became far more
pessimistic, and began looking to the long term. During this
brief age of optimism, Regret was known as Arch-Physicist
Absolutism, a servant of the Arch-Prince Umbra, master of a
consider portion of the Cyberkon Race. Under his leadership,
numerous Cyberkon worlds and structures were raised in the
galaxy, dozens of worlds fell to their superior Technology, and
Ponykind lost significant area to the future invaders. However
when Ponykind regrouped, Absolutism's machines were undone, and
Umbra was sent into withdraw. Absolutism's forces were cut off
and absorbed into another Cyberkon Collective, where Absolutism
helped design the Algorithm Sublime Research and Production
Sphere, or simply "Algorithm", the world two meters wide.

As the ages flew by, Absolutism grew more and more despondent,
as his memories became lost or damaged with numerous successive
deaths and failed back-ups, and as relish and enjoyment even in
the purely intellectual pleasures became more and more
difficult. Seeking to obtain salvation for himself from
elsewhere, Absolutism defected from the Collectives, leaving
Cyberkon space on a series of research missions into numerous
alien and pony worlds, often in disguise. His mission was to
find a way to return the Cyberkons to fleshy bodies by relinking
their spirits with the Crystal Heart. However without access to
the Heart itself, and furthermore afraid to risk damaging it
again, Regret [as he took to calling himself] was forced to
wander the galaxy, looking through old Magi archives and data
caches, pilthering through data piles and seeking hints at how
to undo the process and restore his lost Soul.

Eventually he was captured by a group of Knights of Sorcery, who
intended to take the specimen to the Nebula for further
research. Disaster struck when assassins under the command of
the Intelligency Agency attempted to capture Regret and
decapitate the Sorcerers. In the confusion, Regret escaped and
caught a way off world stowed aboard a Macro Cosmo ship. The
Green Sun. When he discovered it was a recently recommissioned
Merchant ship, he revealed himself to the Captain [or rather,
First Officer] offering his services as the ship's engineer in
exchange for sanctuary aboard the ship. Using advanced
technology and his thousand-year skills at computer hacking and
control, he then forged Sanctioning Files along every level of
development with masterful craftsmanship, down to fake serial
numbers, allowing him to pass Imperial checkpoints without heavy
suspicion. For safety, he still prefers to travel with other
pony officers aboard the ship, to "vouch" for him.

Traits: Orderly, logical, refined, emotionless, mechanistic,
