Cyrus Treestride

Race: Human, Drykas
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Birthday: 30th, Summer 498 AV
Birthplace: Endrykas
Model: Derek Jaeschke

Appearance:


Cyrus has a bit of an imposing appearance, standing at 6”2’ with the large, sturdy build that comes from a life lived in the grasslands of Cyphrus. He has light green eyes that seem cautious and calculative, yet friendly. His sandy-blonde hair hangs down to his shoulders, framing a face with a slight smile. During more formal occasions Cyrus may pull his hair back with a leather strap, but otherwise his hair is left down. Cyrus maintains respectable facial hair that he keeps trimmed as he sees full beards as dirty. His clothing is a mix of leathers and furs, mostly containing varying shades of brown and black but also showing dyed streaks of blue to denote his place as a member of the Sapphire Clan. If you were to inspect his body, you would see many scars, big and small, across his body. Many of the scars were caused by hunting accidents or many of the "mundane" creatures of the Sea of Grass. Some of the scars tell a more sinister story. Such as the Zith claw marks across Cyrus's torso, or the thin scars across both his palms. You would also find Cyrus's first windmark stretching from his shoulder to the elbow on his left arm. The image along his arm showcasing his strider, Sacha, along with intricate knotwork designs.

Character Concept


Cyrus has a warm heart, and affection for all the of the creatures around him. Whether it is someone new or an old friend, Cyrus is able to empathize with them. He gives people the benefit of the doubt; however, if they prove to be a threat, Cyrus is just as merciless as his brethren.

Cyrus’s compassion extends to the nature of the world. He has deep respect for the animals and plants that he encounters, often thanking the animals he hunts for their sacrifice so that he and his people may live on. Because of this connection to animals and nature, he often finds himself praying to Caiyha. Cyrus loves his people, but sometimes he finds himself enjoying the solitude of nature.

Cyrus constantly pushes himself to greater heights in an effort to prove himself, mostly to his father. He has great ambition, with goals to better himself and thus those around him. He wants to become a better mage so he can protect and serve his people. He as aspirations to join the watch. He wants to be seen as useful, because being useless on the Sea of Grass isn’t tolerated.

Cyrus is unlike his fellow Dykas in that he is not very brash. He is cautious and slow to act, so as not to misstep and risk a mistake. In a perfect world, Cyrus could understand everything he needed to understand before acting, but this is not a perfect world and thus Cyrus is often pushed out of his comfort zone. He can overthink things, which tends to make him a bit awkward if not downright robotic.

Character History


Cyrus was born to Nada and Darrock Treestride. While there were no complications at birth, as Cyrus grew up he had a tendency to become very sick which left him physically weak compared to children of the same age. While his peers ran and played, Cyrus was often confined to less intensive activities. Even at this young age, Cyrus was all too aware of the Drykas ideal of being useful to the clans, of not being weak. He would often hear whispers of what others would say: “Cursed child”, “Won’t live much longer”. Cyrus’s mother always pushed aside his concerns, she was always strict but patient with Cyrus. While his mother saw nothing wrong with Cyrus, his father was a different story. His father never directly belittled Cyrus, and always did the duties that would be expected of a father to his son, but Cyrus could see the disappointment in his father's eyes on the days Cyrus was too weak to leave the Pavilion, or on the days when Cyrus could hardly catch his breath. Despite his frail condition Cyrus tried his best when he did not feel ill. He would train with his mother in magic and the manipulation of djed, and his father would teach him how to live on the Sea of Grass.

As Cyrus could not play with his peers, he sought out a way comfort himself in his solitude. Cyrus found that when he was surrounded by one of the sparse outcroppings of trees that dot the Sea of Grass or laying by a stream he achieved the comfort he sought. He could not venture far of course, the Sea of Grass is a dangerous place after all, but when he could slip away he enjoyed sitting and watching the fish and the animals traverse the Sea of Grass and listening to the sounds of nature. When he was by himself in these places he could forget about his troubles. In Cyrus's darkest moments he could go to these places and find refuge.

As Cyrus grew older, around the age of 8, his body began growing stronger and more resilient. He only grew ill when any man would. Cyrus seized upon his newfound health. He desperately tried to prove himself. He would go with his father hunting every day and when he returned home he would train with his mother. Eventually, Cyrus's diligence paid off. As a teenager he could go hunting alone and provide food to his Pavilion. He was becoming more proficient at entering the web and producing res, the trademarks of his clan. He became bonded to a strider, Sacha, marking his transition into a true Drykas. He was useful. He was accepted. This wasn't enough for Cyrus however, he needed more. He needed to wash away the image of a sick child from the minds of his people.

To this day, that's Cyrus's goal: to prove himself and to go above and beyond what is asked of him.

Heirloom:


Image

Cyrus has a clay offering bowl, designed for the Goddess Caiyha, that was given to him by his mother on his Ezihiwe. It is very dear to him, as it is fairly ornate. The bowl itself is about a foot in diameter and an inch thick all the way around. The sides of the bowl are dark green and show carved images of vines and leaves along with the knot work indicative of Cyrus's people. The inside of the bowl is an off white although its original color was most likely true white and has dulled with use.

Strider


Image

Name: Sacha
Sex: Female
Age: 4
Date of Birth: 512 AV, 2nd of Fall
Appearance: Sacha is a tan horse with white along the length of her nose and around the base of her legs, above her hooves. Her white mane is loose and fairly long.

Where Cyrus is cautious Sacha is adventurous. Yet they are also similar in their loyalty and compassion. Cyrus and Sacha depend on one another and have as deep a bond as any Drykas and their strider.
