Biography[]
Past[]
Before the start of Endoparasitic's events, Cynte was an ordinary scientist who works on a secret researching facility that recently made an exotic discovery of an parasitic alien species that originates from outer space. As further research were made, Cynte and his crew manage to discover that these parasites are capable of granting humans superpowers, which motivates him to try and find a way to harness it (without being chosen by the parasites). At first, Cynte's experiments only involved using animals as the primary test subjects, but as time goes on, he starts to use human test subjects as well. This was something his assistants or co-workers saw as unethical, which would led Parvati to try and develop a vaccine that could suppress the influence incase if the parasite ever enters anyone's body. This was, however, until Luce began to hear voices of the parasites inside of her head, the monsters using telepathy to communicate and congratulates her for being chosen by them. This led Luce to take revenge on everyone in the facility by freeing all the parasites and assumed her role as their god, leading to the start of the events of the game.
Endoparasitic[]
At the beginning of the game, Cynte gets attacked by three mutated monsters that tear off three of his limbs, before leaving him alone in the dark to die of blood loss. However, he was lucky enough to actually found a iron to cauterize his wounds, though it did not regenerate his missing limbs. Left to survive on his own, he trekked through the lab that is infested with those monsters. As Cynte journeys his way through the research center in order to find answers, he happens to come across Parvati, a colleague of his who is trapped inside of a glass cell. Horrified about his situation, he asked Cynte to let him out, only for the latter to decline after suspecting that Parvati is possibly the main culprit responsible for letting those parasites roaming the facility. As such, Parvati is left at the mercy (or rather, the lack of it) of the monsters outside the room he's trapped in, being killed by it's hands.
Cynte continues to make his way throughout the entire facility to find more answers until he confronts Luce, whom he deduced to be the true main culprit behind the incident, which she admits that he's right. Luce further reveals how the parasites chose her to be their god and the owner of the universe, much to Cynte's disappointment on why the parasites chose her out of all the people that they could find in the space station. He angrily berates her only for Luce to mock him for his own arrogance, before bidding him farewell and escape using a rocket ship back to Earth.
Personality[]
“ | You're the ignorant one Cynte. You think being dedicated to your work, worshipping knowledge, and valuing science over others' lives and happiness. Who is above everyone else? You're not above me, you're not above Parvati, you're not even above the lab rats! You're immoral, unethical, you have no compassion, no virtues, and you haven't even got the self-awareness to care without feeling you're nothing. | „ |
~ Luce telling Cynte what kind of person he is to her. |
Cynte's personality can be learned if the player chooses to access the logs that records all the daily life or research of him and his own team. From then on, we get to learn that Cynte is a cold, single-minded, arrogant, and sociopathic scientist who believes that he can achieve the impossible thanks to the discovery of the parasites that grants humans supernatural abilities. It is noted by one of his colleague's in their diary logs (Luce) before the incident that led to the start of the game that Cynte at first conducts experiments with these newly discovered parasites on animals, but soon, began to resort to practicing his craft on humans and he did not even think twice or felt a single remorse for his own wrongdoings, with this selfish and arrogant side of his being further shown at the near end of the game, where instead of apologizing or showing sympathy for Luce because of everyone in the facility looks down on her, Cynte only displayed pure disappointment, animosity, and wrath towards her for how she was chosen instead of him or other peoples who are much more competent than someone he sees as an ignorant simpleton. Overall, as what Luce has said, Cynte is an ambitious yet narcissistic man that lacks compassion, has no virtues, and is devoid of any sense of self-awareness to even care without feeling he's nothing.
