"Look! You can see the edge of the world from here!" With a grunt of approval, he lifted his cybernetic arm higher to let his little friend see the horizon.
Known in the ring as the Cybernetic Simian, this Beast of Carnage was a force to be reckoned with. Fighting in the pits from a young age, it was a tough life for this creature. As a semi-sentient being of decent intelligence, the Simian was cursed with cognitive abilities beyond many of the creatures it was pit against.
He gained his namesake’s cybernetic features after a battle gone wrong. Though his body was covered in countless scars, no injuries were as bad as the loss of his arm. An injury that would see many leave the pits for good, whether that be their own choice or someone else's, it didn’t stop the Simian. With the help of a young companion and through the dubious rules that surrounded most gladiatorial events, the Simian was able to join the fight once again with a new weapon at his side.
A non-human primate, the Cybernetic Simian stood large, larger than most other primates. His body was covered in tight, wound muscles, built up over years in the pit. His experience granted him durability and wisdom, as much as his semi-sentience afforded. His prehensile tail also had the ability to grasp, granting him a third arm with which he could use to attack from surprising angles. His biggest boon was the large mechanical arm that sat on his right side. With the help of technology it could perform feats that his biological arm could not, granting him a unique edge in the ring.
