- "Fuck me with a 10-foot pole! I can't believe it!"
- ―Cyclops, Pico's School
Cyclops (real name Cyril) is one of the primary antagonists of Pico's School, serving as a member of the Goth Punks. He is a rude, one-eyed punk who stands guard in the school hallways.
General information[]
Physical appearance[]
Cyclops has a large light pink mohawk, a faint pink right eye and an eyepatch over his left eye. He wears a black jacket with a gray collar, a white shirt, and gray shoes with gold swastikas on each side. In Pico's School: Love Conquers All, the swastikas are completely removed. In MindChamber's redesign for a proposed Pico's School remake, his right eye is instead colored white, which is more standard for the characters.
Personality[]
Being the most normal member of the Goth Punks, Cyclops' only specialty is being a trend-chaser. As revealed by Pico, he used to be a fan of Pearl Jam before "running with the G-Squad" and eventually becoming a punk. He also happens to be an overly edgy poser since his swastikas act as an accessory, meaning he is not a neo-Nazi.
In Pico's School: Love Conquers All, it is suggested that under his standoffish attitude, Cyclops is actually a nice person; his eyepatch and his love of punk music were often the cause of him being bullied, which led him to act more rude towards his classmates.
History[]
Pico's School[]
In Pico's School, Cyclops is found guarding the hallways. When encountered, he will shoot Pico away with a warning shot, regardless of the dialogue option selected. Once Pico has found the gun, he is able to disarm Cyclops by shooting his gun out of his hands. This prompts Cyclops to beg for his life, and the player is given the choice of killing him or letting him go.
If Pico chooses to spare his life, Cyclops runs away and is not seen again for the rest of the game. As the doors to the school were locked, it is unknown where he went and what happened to him.
If Pico chooses to kill him, Cyclops pisses himself right before Pico guns him down. His corpse can be shot again, prompting the "BRUTAL!" medal to be awarded.
Pico 2[]
In artwork created by MindChamber for the cancelled game Pico 2, Cyclops is seen as a zombie with shredded clothes, no eyes, and the skin on the top half of his face missing. It is unclear as to why Cyclops is a zombie and what role he would have played, since no information was released and the game was never finished. However, it does suggest that Pico had indeed killed him during the events of Pico's School.
Pico Roulette[]
In Pico Roulette, Cyclops appears as a playable character.
Pico's School: Love Conquers All[]
In Pico's School: Love Conquers All, Cyclops is still found guarding the hallways. In this version, his real name is revealed to be Cyril. Pico talks to him about their shared interest in punk rock and how they are both teased and reminds Cyril that he is a kind person, citing him helping Pico to pick up his books when he tripped as proof. They then agree that Cyril will dye his hair orange and Pico will wear an eyepatch the following day so that their unsightly traits will be swapped, and the bullies will be confused. Feeling guilty, Cyril then goes home.
