Dave Riley

Born in the Lillifuture, David Riley Albright is the son of Gavin Albright and a member of the ISPD division of the IDPD. A low-ranking private within the time police, he is often seen in the early 21st century under the guise of Dave Riley, a happy-go-lucky intern often sent on runs to buy donuts from underrated shops that closed down in the Lillifuture. He is a cyborg.

Appearance

Much like his father, he is a tall, lean man of Alto Marean and Orange Islander descent, about 1.83 meters tall. He has light brown hair and pale skin and could easily pass as a northerly [East Asian], [Caucasian], or just anemic. He has unnatural-looking metallic gray eyes and a pair of sophisticated cybernetic arms. In the 2010s, he comes off as a nebbish person with obvious disabilities and an affable personality. He has a slim, athletic muscular frame; because he overclocks his cybernetics, the remains of his natural musculature had been either augmented or trained to cope.

Often, he wears an open buttondown over a T-shirt, a choice indicative of an interest in history. He is capable of blending into early 21st Century crowds as a double amputee wearing weird contact lenses, but is known to make people feel uneasy from time to time.

Configuration

Dave was rebuilt as a cyborg early in life after succumbing to an engineered pokerus at a young age. Although enough of his body remains organic, a significant portion of his biomass has been replaced or augmented with machinery.

Some of his body parts were replaced after their organic counterparts succumbed to the pokerus:

• Heart
• Lower arms and hands
• Corneas
• Left optic nerve
• Right lower leg
• Segments of the spinal cord
• Left kidney and ureter
• Bladder
• Larynx
• Several major arteries

A few other organs were augmented either to restore damaged function, cope with a preexisting condition, or keep up with overclocked aesthetics.

• Augmented Lungs (extra capacity)
• Both upper arms (necessary to maintain finger dexterity)
• Brain stem (control of auxiliary cybernetics )
• Pharynx (necessary to maintain the voice box)
• Pancreas (diabetes control; needs major upgrade)
• Pectoral muscles (necessary to maintain arm movement)
• Several major arteries and veins
• Right thigh muscles (necessary for walking)
• Left leg (made necessary to accommodate symmetry with the right leg RE: overclocking)
• Retinas (overclocking)

His hair, skin, and unaffected organs that did not need to augmented are left mostly unaltered. His gallbladder and appendix have also been removed.

Despite his enhanced physical capabilities brought on by overclocked cybernetics, he has rather limited stealth capabilities because of the loud whirring his heart makes when doing so. He has added a few scanners in his hands that let him interface with technology.

Biography

He was born in Unova to Shutter Albright and his unnamed wife some time in the 2020s. As a child, he was one of the many victims of an engineered Pokerus that claimed thousands of lives; the cure to contain the virus having come too late, his parents were left with little recourse but to have his organs replaced with bionic parts. The amount of cybernetic organs he received was such that he spent much of his childhood taunted for being "less human." He eventually grew to see the mechanical parts as extensions of himself and began to slowly but surely upgrade and overclock them, often requiring additional anchors to his body. He eventually filed for an internship with the IDPD and became a private for one of its divisions. He has not intention of overstaying among the time cops and hopes to move on to mecha piloting.

His current residential address is in Orre.

Personality

Dave is generally cheerful and upbeat about life (especially given that he had his lease renewed multiple times) and showcases a sense of naivete typical of interns. He usually showcases a pleasant disposition, but due to childhood bullying, he is easily set irked and set off by disparaging remarks about cyborgs. He tends to blend in with Early 21st Century crowds (in no small part due to his extensive knowledge of history) and, unlike some of his family members, is confident that weirdness filters are rather powerful things that can handwave literally anything extraordinary or frightening in front of people. He often relies on using out-of-context truths to add a plausible veneer to his undercover work.

He is very persistent in his desire to please people, which is evident in his work as an errant grunt, where he's willing to jump around to look for rare toys and donut shops.

Trivia

• He has Type 1 diabetes and included an insulin pump attachment to his pancreas to compensate.
• Scout is his father's pokémon, placed in his possession
• He and his father have had a strained relationship due to his work with the IDPD and the Interpol Authority, who his father believes is responsible for flagrant abuses of power.
• He has a fondness for the popular culture of the 2000s.
