Extended Story

When the Reaper Unit Project fell under along with Mustapha Ibrahim, BioCorps., or MR. BOSS in this case, needed something else to fill the void to his plans. He needed a similar soldier type that would take much less time to develop, and for cheaper. He had promoted two new employees at the Gibraltar Branch of BioCorps.'s Development Facility, Professor Joseph Cruller and Dr. Adam Honeyglaze, to begin work on a prototype after the new project was greenlit for pre-production. The two friends had just gotten out of college with a masters in biomechanics, and didn't expect to be working on the creation of new life so quickly. So, they took what they learned from all those hard years of study, and a boat-load of anime they've obsessed over to create, something unique.

The result was Cid Collins, or Ci-Ci for short. Ci-Ci's unique attributes include the production of water outside the skin, which can be manipulated to amplify movement, coat on the skin as a shield to let attacks and projectiles slip, and the inability to become thirsty. Ci-Ci was also developed with a biological manifestation of its fighting ability, a separate life-form that is a part of the water it produces, but can physically bring itself a body if needed. This unique manifest is dubbed the Soldier Type: Amorphous Nano-Defense, or ST:AND for short. After reviewing the notes and data, MR. BOSS greenlit the project for the testing phase. The two young doctors were very relieved.

With many years testing Ci-Ci's mental and physical capabilities, one thing unexpected happened. Ci-Ci developed his own sense of "self", and grew to admire his creators and was willing to defend his company at any cost. While they were happy with the time they spent together, The doctors had feared what could happen if Ci-Ci undergoes mass-production. Would they kill him off after production? Would he be brainwashed before the cloning process? Many similar thoughts flooded their heads, but they kept them shut for the consequences that they would face not only under MR. BOSS' rule, but also for Ci-Ci as well. But they didn't have much time left, as MR. BOSS' final test for Ci-Ci was to enter Battle Craze and come out the victor. Defeat would result in the termination of the project, the doctor's jobs, and Ci-Ci's livelihood.

"A tournament huh? That trophy should be forfeit, for nothing can come against me and my superior engineering!"

Concept

It is incredibly obvious that Ci-Ci has influence from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. He is inspired by the Stardust Crusaders antagonist, Rubber Soul. To reflect this, Ci-Ci was originally going to appear more evil, with sharp teeth and a crazy stare. His original namesake, Crispy Cream, comes from the donut establishment, and how his ability is almost like the glaze on the donuts they serve. His name would change, he'd become more naive, and his ST:AND would get a lot of designs up until now.

Trivia

• Ci-Ci's name in development was originally "Crispy Cream", after the donut establishment, but due to fear of lawsuits, his name was changed to an abbreviation of it, "Ci-Ci". There are other nods to the franchise with the character regardless, such as the last names of his creators, his appreciation for donuts, and his birthdate, July 13th, being the same as Krispy Kreme's foundation.
• Ci-Ci's ST:AND, is a very obvious homage to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The name ‘Poseidon’ is also a music reference, to the King Crimson song ‘In the Wake of Poseidon’.
