Cybersix - Characters

Characters

• Cybersix

Number 6 of the murdered Cyber Series, Cyber-6 dons the fictional identity of male high school teacher Adrian Seidelman by day, and foils her evil creator's plans by night. In the animated series, not much is revealed about her past. In the comics, she was rescued by a black slave during the massacre of the other 4998 Cyber Series because of their developing rebellious nature and growing human emotions. She befriends a young poor boy named Julian and a fellow teacher at school named Lucas Amato, whom she begins to fall in love with. Later on, she is reunited with her "younger brother", Cyber-29, reborn in the body of a panther named Data-7 after he fell of a cliff. Together, they work to protect Meridiana from Von Reichter. She is the central protagonist in the show.

• Data-7

Previously known as Cyber-29, Data-7 is Cybersix's "younger brother". He was killed after he fell off a cliff, but unbeknownst to the other Cyber Series, Von Reichter transplanted Cyber-29's brain into the body of a panther. Now known as Data-7, the panther has a series of flashbacks of his previous life before remembering Cybersix. After seeing a picture of the two of them as children, Data-7 remembers how he died and who Cybersix was. Data-7 joins Cybersix in her plans to foil Von Reichter's plans. Although he cannot talk, he is her most powerful ally in the war against Von Reichter. He is seen to be fiercely protective of Cybersix, often taking hits for her, trying desperately to save her from danger and even following her during a school field trip after she is injured from the previous night. Data-7 is very respectful to Cybersix, following her lead and rarely ever objecting to what she says.

• Julian

Julian is a young street kid and probably an orphan, due to the fact that he is seen living on his own with no family. He is forced to be a pickpocket against his will until Cybersix takes him somewhere safer. He tries to help Cybersix during her fights, but as a human child he is completely outmatched by her enemies, and thus is a liability in battle instead, often needing to be rescued by her instead. He lives on a small boat tied to the harbour of Meridiana. Data-7 is often sent by Cybersix to make sure that Julian doesn't interfere or get in trouble. Julian is last seen in a non-speaking role watching the explosion of Von Reichter's seaside lab.

• Lucas Amato

Lucas is a fellow teacher who meets Cybersix one night. He is also her friend and colleague when she is pretending to be Adrian Seidelman at the school. He often has dinner with "Adrian" at the cafe, while Lucas talks endlessly about Cybersix, who visits him almost every night. He eventually begins to fall in love with Cybersix and kisses her before she heads off to fight Von Reichter. In the epilogue, he holds Adrian's glasses after finding that Adrian is Cybersix and heads to her apartment to see a light on, realizing that she is still alive.

• Dr. Von Reichter

A Nazi war criminal and psychotic genius, Von Reichter is the creator of Cybersix and the other Cyber Series. He is the main antagonist in the show. His plans are often carried out by his clone/son José. Von Reichter is often disappointed with José because he is constantly being defeated by Cybersix. After José's betrayal, Von Reichter was presumed to be killed by his own creations, some of whom he tried to send to kill Cybersix in their final showdown. If not, Von Reichter was almost certainly killed in the explosion of his living island bomb.

• José Von Reichter

A very stuck up, ill-tempered, and bossy little boy, José is the clone and "son" of Dr. Von Reichter, created to succeed him in case of death, and is usually the one to carry out Von Reichter's plans, though under his terrible leadership they never work. Despite his childlike appearance (and behaviour), José is mentally an adult, but his father engineered him to have eternal youth to prevent him from growing up to be a potential rebel. In the end, he betrays Von Reichter anyway, after feeling cheated by his final plan, as the plan would have ruined the "Meridiana crimelord" legacy Jose worked very hard for. He survives the series, and it is clear that he intends to continue his reign of terror against Meridiana.

• Lori Anderson

Lori is a young student in Adrian Seidelman's class. She has a huge crush on Adrian, not realizing she is a woman, and heads to "his" apartment in one episode, only to see Cybersix inside talking to Data-7 (she could not see Data-7 and simply assumed she was talking to Adrian). Cybersix later reveals who she is to Lori and gives her Adrian's glasses. Her parents are seen in the last episode trying to flee the city with Lori. She looks a lot like her mother, but has her father's red hair. Since no one else is seen in the family, it is relatively safe to say Lori is an only child, or at least that any siblings live away from Meridiana.
