PsiClone (often misheard as "Cyclone"), is what his name suggests... he is the clone, the genetic identical twin, of Aerik Winters, filenamed: Eclipse. After the Big Fight between the R.UN.ners and G.U.A.R.D., in which the original Aerik played a large part (Tearing the main HQ complex to to the ground mentally, once he defeated the GUARD's incredibly powerful telepath Razorshred), the unnatural RUNner had wiped his files from every system the GUARD owned or could even access. Everywhere, in just about everyone, Aerik had wiped the clean his image and any knowledge of himself. But somehow... somehow... part of Aerik was obtained by the GEMlab's genetics department, with clear orders to clone. A strand of hair is not much to go on, and no one knows where it came from. It was done, however, and since Aerik had, by that time, totally assimilated to his demonically-created Eshvan form, the clone was of the mutate, the altered Aerik.

Other mysterious orders were also given, all of which were to be carried out as soon as possible. Telepaths inside the GUARD niggled their ways into the unnatural minds of their mole operatives, namely Mark Cross, filenamed: Myriad. The son of a GUARD doctor at one point, Mark is known to the GUARD and often used, given mental compulsions, and then mindwiped totally afterwards, so that even another telepath could not tell he'd been tampered with. A RUNner, Mark may have betrayed his fellow rogues more than once in the past, and had been spurred into gathering information about Aerik whos' name, even, was unknown before Mark uncovered it, so the newly-developed mind could be filled. Telepathically stuffed with all files, Active and Rogue, he knows about as much, if not more, than the original Aerik. Given crash-courses in psionics, he was taught to take the information he needed, to pry into minds without regard unless it was a higher a GUARD operative and he was given permission.

Raised by the GUARD, he's highly profficient in physical combat, weaponry, and tactical planning. He is not, however, nearly as profficient in psionics as his twin is, nor even those trained by the original Aerik, who is clever and devious. PsiClone, GUARD schooled and raised, has similar attitudes as his brother. He takes a superior air, taught he was better than most others for being a telepath. He is gorgeous, and knows it, inbred with grace and elegance. Other things transferred from his brother as well: He has a dominating personality, far too proud to submit. He does not often employ contractions in his speech, believing it to be sloppy. PsiClone is a great deal like his twin, but far from exact. Different life experiences, indeed, the lack of them, has made this Aerik quite his own person.

PsiClone is lacking many of Aerik's talents as well. He does not wield the soulfire that is his brother's trumpcard. His ability to imprint the signatures of others, as his twin can do, leading to links and addictions, is not as great. However, he can imprint power signatures more quickly than psionic ones, meaning once a power is used on him, he can create a link that way, not accessing the mind, but actually cloning the signature and reproducing the ability. Physically, he has the Eshvan strength and speed. His natural state is solid, not aeriform, but he can become intangible, and is well-trained in this talent. His senses are all highly acute, sharpened. He does not, fortunately for him, experience the needs the original does, those flaws either genetically bred out of the new Aerik, or blended in the processes. As he was the clone of the finished product, certain things remained outside himself. He never shattered under the weight of his blossoming powers, he never killed hundreds accidently. PsiClone's mind is whole, undamaged, and while he has some similar control issues over and about his talents, they were ingrained into him by his teachers, for his power is very vast and a real threat even to those who made him. His subconscience is terrifingly strong, but not overriding as is his brother's. His body is the original Aerik's perfected, magic and unnatural power blended far better. There is one noteable mistake the GUARD made, thinking they had been at fault for his lack of vocal chords... this Aerik has a voice of his own. If Eclipse had been born into his present body, PsiClone would be the result.

He is highly immune to many magics, as fantastical as he is scientific in creation, and will produce immunities quickly. He even has a few magics of his own, though nothing startling at the moment as he has been given no training in that area. He is as unique and original as his twin, one the altered and one the born blend. His is, as of now, in GUARD employ and out in the field. It should be noted that Rikky is beginning to come into his own; that is, more and more Eshva as events unfold. He has developed an immunity to Venin's poison though not her energy sting and has successfully managed to clone Travesty's immense TK abilities, though usage of these are very rare. He favors his Eshva appearance now, given to the longer hair and donning of jewels.

NOTE TO OTHER TELEPATHS: Aerik's mind is his mind... and he keeps it well shielded. Should the shields be breached, the fact that this is not the actual Aerik would become quite obvious. The signature is only slightly off, not exact.
