Trivia

 * Cyrus' birthday, August 10th, is the same day The LEGO Group was founded. However, The LEGO Group was founded in 1932, while Cyrus was born in 1974.
 * This similarity was entirely unintentional, as the author of Chasing Memories had no idea when LEGO became a thing. It wasn't discovered until she did some research.
 * He has a lot of secrets that only a select few know.
 * One of those secrets being that he has a celebrity crush, but won't say who.
 * From what's been observed, it's probably Zane's older sister, who's a pop star.
 * He is asexual biromantic, but he will NEVER admit it. Not even Zane knows this, and he knows him better than anyone.
 * Him being ace is known, but being biromantic is his secret.
 * He only came out as ace to get people to stop asking him about his dating life.
 * Cyrus Borg is not his real name. It's an alias he gave the hospital after he was found in Spinner's Canal.
 * His blood is pink. For the longest time, he had no idea why. As of Chasing Memories 4, he still doesn't.
 * This secret was outed in CM4 during an interview that went wrong.
 * He's part Lunarian, but as of CM4 he doesn't know that yet. He'll learn in the presently unfinished CM5, and this was revealed in the side fic "Aftermath of Megan's Return" on AO3.
 * He lost both his hands and feet from frostbite at the age of 10.
 * As of his second revival in CM4, he has them back.
 * He worked for 20 years as a mechanic despite his disability.
 * His teeth were fake.
 * They were gradually lost by the time he was about 13-14 years old, and then he lost some of his false teeth and they were replaced.
 * He lost his caps in 1999 when he did the Dragon Ghost Chili Pepper Challenge. The fire was so hot it melted the caps out of his mouth. He has since worn dentures. He was 25.
 * Oddly enough, this was proven possible in the real world by the author's great-grandfather, who left his dentures on the bbq grill counter and the ends curled up. He had to get new ones.
 * After his second revival, his teeth have returned and are their natural form. Turns out, even in his human form his teeth are closer to that of a wolf, which freaked Kai out once when he saw them. Cyrus wasn't even aware they weren't human teeth until then.
 * He was a foster kid.
 * Unlike Lloyd, his foster home was a good one.
 * His favorite color is red.
 * Like Zane, he dislikes pink.
 * He is the character with the most scar tissue.
 * He likes cream soda, but hates grape soda
 * He likes chocolate cake, but hates colored velvet.
 * It tastes like paint.
 * This is a parallel to the author, who also dislikes velvet.
 * He likes black licorice, but hates saltwater taffy.
 * It gets stuck in his dentures.
 * Contrary to popular belief, he likes dubstep.
 * He hates rap music.
 * According to the author, he likes Phineas and Ferb.
 * His Smash main would be Megaman.
 * He likes cats but hates frogs.
 * His favorite FNAF character is the Puppet.
 * He likes his coffee plain.
 * His least favorite kind of coffee is vanilla latte.
 * He likes raspberry tea and dislikes Indian spice.
 * According to the author, he's eternally a mama's boy.
 * His hair has been solid grey since he was 14 and he started dying it before he started Borg Industries. He stopped after he learned that it was bad for his hair.
 * His hair is naturally curly, but he used to straighten it because he thought no one would take him seriously with curly hair. He stopped that too after finding out the heat was damaging his hair like the dye.
 * Unlike other Elemental Masters, he has an Insanity Mode, where he snaps and his fighting skills rival that of most of the Ninja
 * This, according to Chyenne, is a Lunarian thing, especially when it comes to Animal Mages.
 * He doesn't like his feet.
 * He's shorter than Nya (who is 5'10") but has bigger feet than Cole (who wears size 14's and is also 6'6")
 * Zane has the opposite problem. He's taller than Cole (at 6'9") and has smaller feet than Nya's (he wears size 7's and Nya wears size 8's)
 * Out of all the characters, Cyrus has the most inconsistent design when it comes to his hair.
 * In some pictures it's black (in adult pictures) despite having medium grey hair since he was a teen.
 * In other pictures he has the same shade of blackish grey as his brother Derrick.
 * The rest he has his canonical grey.
 * When designing his secondary/tertiary colors, the author switched from black/red, purple/red, tan/red, and grey/black/red.
 * Red was a constant
 * There are also old versions of him with straight hair, but this was while the author was trying to figure out his main design.
 * His in-show version had straight(?) hair in a comb-over. The author did this design in Gacha Life and realized he looked like O'hare from The Lorax, thus she gave him a different straight hairstyle.
 * In addition to being the oldest of the Original Allies (not counting the Sensei Brothers, Misako, the Ninja's Parents, or Love Interests) as he was born in 1974, he is also the shortest of the Original Allies, standing at 5 feet and 8 inches tall.
 * The tallest is Dareth at 6'3" (same as Kai)
 * Ironic that the glutton is taller than the thief...
 * He, like several members of the cast, is mixed ethnicity-wise. On his mother's side he's African-Italian; on his father's side he's Scots-Irish and Russian.
 * Unlike most of the Ninja, he is not of American descent.
 * Despite no one in his family being American, let alone a New Yorker, Cyrus speaks with a slight East Manhattan accent normally.
 * According to his VA, he speaks with a slight North London accent in the show. In the Chasing Memories continuity, Cyrus only uses this as his work voice. This means he's the only character in the series to speak with two different accents.
 * Strangely enough, his brother speaks with a New Jersey accent, their sister with a Louisiana accent, their father with an Irish accent, and their mother with an Italian accent. Kai considers this as probably the strangest thing he's learned about any of his friends.
 * His current name, Cyrus, and his birth name, Cecil, are a reference to two villains from Arrow's season 2 on CW: Cyrus Gold and Cecil Adams.
 * Interestingly, Cyrus' ex-girlfriend, who was mentioned in the spin-off fic "Aftermath of Megan's Return", is named Megan Addams.
 * In addition, a future character set to be introduced in this story, Oliver (another reference to Arrow) is the son of Cyrus and Megan and has partially gold hair.
 * This portrayal of Cyrus Borg is autistic, which contributes to his intelligence.
 * He shares this with Chyenne, Zane, Jay, Chaina, and Axis.
 * He wasn't aware that the Ninja's 2013 break-up was his fault until decades later.
 * Chyenne knows about all his crushes, being the Goddess of Memories, but the only thing she'll reveal is that the one thing they have in common is blond hair.
 * It was confirmed that Lloyd was not on the list due to being way too young for Cyrus.
 * Cyrus also has a preferred age range: 3 years older or younger than him. Lloyd is more than 20 years younger than him.
