Chapter 22: Victor Stone
There is no Cyborg or Victor Stone in the Arrowverse. However, his character in the DCU does have some variation. I kept the parts that I liked. My AU!Victor was 13. This is well before his transformation into Cyborg.

ORIGIN:
Victor Stone was the only son of Drs. Silas and Elinore Stone. Both are geniuses. Both emphasized intellect to Victor, but they never explained why the mind and intellect were important. Victor's friends at school preferred to emphasis the physical. Victor was more social than either of his parents. They didn't know how to relate to this side of Victor. Victor was gifted with great agility and flexibility as a child. He learned to use those physical abilities at his school. With his intellect, enhanced by his parents, Victor didn't find academics to be difficult, but physical challenges were. He craved the challenge.
Victor felt distant and mostly ignored by both of his parents, but he loved them. He would spend most of his afterschool time in either of his parents' labs, but they never explained what they were doing or how he could help or not. This led Victor to creating his own entertainment in their labs. This frequently led to Victor being chastised out by both of his parents.

FAMILY:
Dr. Silas Stone (blood): Father to Victor. He related more closely to his father than to his mother, but his father frequently droned on about scientific principles above his head. This led to Victor tuning out his father.
Dr. Elinore Stone (blood): Mother to Victor. He does not relate to his mother at all. He loves her, but she does not display any of the caring motherly instincts that he sees in the mothers of his friends at school. He came to resent his mother for her attitude.

MOTIVATION:
Victor was 13-years-old. He was driven to impress his parents, but felt that anything he did was not enough. He was just starting to enter his teenager years. His physical prowess was downplayed and his intellectual prowess was criticized. He felt that nothing he did was good enough for his parents. He lacked confidence in his physical abilities and he was starting to get stubborn about his intellectual abilities.

PERSONALITY:
Victor had a very open and welcoming personality. He was social. He liked to be around and with others. He doesn't understand his parents' need for isolation and distance. He has found friends and teammates who enjoy his company.

NOTES:
Again, there is no Cyborg or Victor Stone in the Arrowverse. I plugged him into an earlier time in his backstory. He was 13 in my AU. He doesn't become Cyborg for a few more years. I used most of the common traits of friendly, outgoing early teens to build my AU!Victor. You can see from his mother's experiments, that he could fall into the same accident.
