Age: 30
Birthday: 13th of Spring, 485 AV
Birthplace: Syliras

There was nothing that was either special or unique about Colyn's appearance. He was altogether as average as a Syliran could come. He stood around five foot ten, perhaps eleven, and weighed in at roughly hundred and forty pounds. He possessed neither the muscular build of Syliran knights nor the rolls of fat owned by the few wealthy merchants of the city, instead he laid claim to rather plain body of man who moved around enough to stay fit and healthy but still ate and indulged enough to avoid being little more than a skeleton.

His face was one that had been subjected to the stress of the job, of marriage and simply life in Syliras. He had weathered time better than some yet worse than others, wrinkles were already beginning to gain a foothold on his face while a rather coarse beard had found itself replacing a more groomed facial hair. His grey eyes look almost tired at times though burned like a furnace when he was riled. Finally a nest of thick dark brown hair rested on his head, seldom brushed or combed, he would only cut it when it refused to remain swept backwards.

Character Concept

Colyn comes off as a man who had been made to understand the way the world worked from the day he was born. Grounded and cynical, he viewed most strangers with suspicion and assumed anything that sounded even a little too good to be true would come with a lifetime of torment on his part. This attitude contributed to his rather somewhat dour and grumpy image, leaving many to walk away with overwhelming sense of apathy from the man.

This was only matched by his fiery temper and utterly foul mouth. In sense the man was like a boiling pot, prone to erupting at the slightest disturbance with a torrent of foul language and petty insults. It took a great deal of effort on his part to keep it in check amongst many of the Dynasty brats and instead relied on smoking, drinking and other substances to help him to blow off steam after a long days work.

He had never laid claim to being a good man, a pious man or even an honest one. He came from a city where an iron fist enforced order, where morals did not stem from the individual but rather the laws of the city itself. Finding himself suddenly free from the shackles of such notions Colyn is finding his morals more like a child then the man he actually is, they have yet to fully form and it will take experiences he has yet to be subjected to before they are set in stone.

Character History

Colyn was born in the city of Syliras on 13th of spring, 485 AV to a happy if not somewhat crowded family. His childhood was incredibly normal for a working family in the city, he was raised largely by his mother until the age of ten years old when his father, a doctor in the city, begun to take him to work on a regular basis. From him Colyn learnt medical, herbal and even techniques of the philterer to become a somewhat successful physician in the city as he grew into a man.

He married young, swept up in the rush of new love the couple took vows and were both granted Cheva marks to mark their commitment. As with so many who marry in the thrill of young love it wasn't meant to be, time had a way of propagating the cracks within their relationship till one day Colyn had simply had enough. Divorce was inevitable and Colyn left the city not long of after that, heading to Kenash to find whatever would make him happy in the decadent city.
