Caliginous pools of the deepest brown stare forth from within the parted folds of his crimson turban, their drowning depth as captivating as an endless Eyktol fissure. The slithering red fabric embraces his golden countenance like a firey snake, coiling gently to conceal the clean shaven face beneath. Disorderly waves of brown and red entwine into a mess of hair beneath the shrouding turban, a few of those scarlet dyed strands are adorned with rows of black glass beads. A sable doublet clings snugly to the upper portion of his six foot frame, the divided center brought together with the assistance of a bright red, criss-crossing thread. Four sinew woven appendages emerge from either side of the black stained vest, their corded length softly gilded as if the Sun had bestowed upon him its auric hue. Three fingerless gloves coat each of his slender hands, but one, which remains bare so that he may expose his Freeborn brand. A black and red kilt floats lightly down from the constricting crimson sash surrounding his waist, stopping just above his knees. Sun kissed feet are wrapped in charcoal shaded sandals which slither like leathery serpents along the length of his shins. Swinging lazily beside either hip are a pair dark scabbards that encase twin short swords, their sleek ivory hilts crafted from the bone of a Benshira infidel. A hoodless cloak finishes Sypha Kai's regular attire, its thick black fabric descending from the curve of his rounded shoulders to the bottom of his calves.

________________ _______ ___ ______________ _____ _____ _ _
The incisive blades he wears proudly upon his slender hips are drastically different, but one was just as deadly as the other. His left short sword was handed down to the males of his family line with a glory filled story of how the weapon feasted on Benshira blood dating back to pre-Valterian times. Its ivory hued handle made from the bone of a Benshira slave. His right short sword is crafted with a finer quality metal, cold steel, which allows the blade to remain cool, even during the hottest Kenash summer.
________________ _______ ___ ______________ _____ _____ _ _
Those that are perceptive enough may notice that the cloak's hem has small triangular blades sewn across. With an even closer look one observant enough my see his second pair of gloved hands gripping fabric handles sewn inside the cloak, allowing the Eypharian to use the piece of clothing as a precarious weapon.
-=History=-
________________ _______ ___ ______________ _____ _____ _ _
Sypha Kai was born within the heated sands of Eyktol, in the restructuring city of Ahnatep. The Eypharian was dealt numerous challenges in his adolescent youth, despite his comfortable middle class upbringing. His Father, once one of Ahnatep's loyal Jackals, cut down before his very eyes during a malicious slave raid. His Mother, a servant to the city, was enslaved during the same raid and taken North of Ahnatep. She is the reason he deserted his home, so that he may discover her whereabouts and free her from her torment. To honor his Father's dying wish by saving his Mother, nothing in this broken world could be more inspiring. Sypha Kai is a natural swordsman, excelling at his Father's teachings as a young student. He continues his training in Kenash, the city that the raiding caravan had led him to. It took the patient Mercenary an entire year to settle amoungst these hostile Humans, but his sharp mind and even sharper blades have earned him business with many of Kenash's Dynasties. Whether it be tracking down a missing slave, hunting Rujaro, recovering stolen possessions, or even missions of secrecy and violence, Sypha Kai doesn't mind getting dirty for a decent pay out. Though business seems endless, he always has a vivid mindset: There were Humans in this sinful town that needed to taste his vengeance... there was an Eypharian woman that he needed to rescue.

________________ _______ ___ ______________ _____ _____ _ _
The seclusive Eypharian resides within an aging structure, rented seasonally for a fist sized pouch of gold mizas. The cabin rests directly west of the notorious Midnight Market, upon the Freeborn inhabited Blade Island. Its unique construction keeps the living chamber a level above ground, incase heavy rains cause the Ulvic Lake and its channels to flood.

Flaws
________________ _______ ___ ______________ _____ _____ _ _
As a true Eypharian, Sypha Kai is extremely racist toward lesser humanoids. Most Humans are tolerable, but are still considered to be beneath the river spirit's children. The two exceptions that can not be tolerated are the Myrians and Benshiras, these types of Humans are no better than the dirt under an Eypharians foot.

Merits
________________ _______ ___ ______________ _____ _____ _ _
If being the offspring of Royet and Eypha was not awesome enough, Eypharians are blessed with a multitude of appendages. This is a distinct advantage over other humanoids not only in combat, but also in productivity. Though some Eypharians may have up to six arms, Sypha Kai only exhibits four.

Concept
________________ _______ ___ ______________ _____ _____ _ _
An egotistical creature, Sypha Kai is surrounded in an aura of arrogance. There are not many races of the post-Valterrian era that can claim to be apart of such a mythical bloodline. His methods are sometimes sinister in nature, even down right chilling , but cruelity is necessary when you are driven by selfishness. Power and pleasure rule over this prideful Eypharian, and to him there is no such thing as over-indulgence.
