Rhys

[Rhys]

Rhys Character Race: Mixed Blood, Half-Zith/Half-Human. Gender: Male. Age: 18. Birthday: 2nd of Winter, 495 A.V. Birthplace: Zith Colony, Cyphrus. Appearance: This Mixed Blood is simple and mild in face and body. His crossbred heritage serves to only further his humble, lowly presence. He stands slightly slouched at a height of 5'11". As common of his kind, he is slim but sturdy. His skin is light gray and has a soft, yet thick feel to it. There are numerous scars on his body. Heavy, black hair covers his head with many wavy locks. It appears to have been cut short, however shabbily, framing his pointed ears and barely touching his nape. His lightly stubbled face is narrow and softly edged. The irides of his eyes are pure night black. Personality Ever since he can remember, Rhys has believed himself a freak of no purpose. He grew as a slave being constantly reminded of his impurity. Shame and disgrace surrounded and controlled him, eventually dominating his nature completely. Now, he has come to accept his supposed failure and defects. Despite being a "lesser" individual, he chooses to live on as a humble, broken young man. Having such an inferiority complex, it's certainly hard for him to function, but he manages. As is natural, he enjoys his freedom and fears returning to slavery, though he has been thoroughly deluded of being a pathetic cur. He smiles frequently and tries to please people, though he is an aimless push-over because of it. He goes with the tide, his emotions suppressed, and tends to be subservient. Bit and bobs: for whatever reason, he is terrified of Syliran Knights. Decision-making is not one of his strong points. Rhys also has a problem acknowledging his own thoughts and speaking up, which makes it difficult for him to be alone with his mind. Eventually, he may learn to be and embrace himself, but it isn't an easy road. History In a Zith colony within the Sea of Grass, there was a young Zith who looked upon a human slave with lust. He saw a dirty, but wonderfully exotic creature--unique from the others. He took her as a mate, and she bore onto him a male infant. Of course, the boy was of mutated and troubled blood. He was viewed as a burdensome deformity amongst both races in the caverns, and he was more often a Human slave than a Zith child. His mother was the only one to love him, but there was little she could do for him. She did give him a name (rarely used, but important just the same): Rhys. By the time he was 13 years old, he saw his place in the world as being a pointless wretch meant for the pleasure of others. He was bruised and broken. It was only a matter of time before he was seen as so Lilliputian and filthy that his existence was a mere question of "why?" If not for the sacrifice of his mother, Rhys would have been torn and devoured by a desperate, hungry Zith. She saved him, but was killed in the process. His father intervened before the boy was taken next. Since Rhys was kin, albeit an unwanted one, his father spared him immediate death. In respect to his mate's love, he instead decided to banish the child to an unknown fate. He wandered and struggled through the plains of Cyphrus for just a day, already on the edge of death. It was fortunate that a slave caravan took him. While Rhys was a lithe child, he had a variety of talents and an endurance that made him an ideal slave. For the next six years, he would work under many, his luck not spreading to his chance in masters. There was but one who did not abuse, defile, or debase him. And when this last master felt he no longer needed Rhys, he freed him from his bonds (Spring, 514 A.V.). Finally, he could live as he wanted.
