From the Ashes//open//group

Name: Cyrus Stiles
Nickname: Cy
Age: 26
Personality: Can appear cool and calm on the outside, but it's all a facade
Generally a kind and gentle soul, but horrifying when he does get angry
Worried, especially about others
Tends to blame himself for things
Doesn't speak up very often, even in times of urgency
Wears his heart on his sleeve, but hides painful emotions when he can
Intelligent and quick to come up with plans
Nervous, perpetually worried, has anxiety and a history of depression
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: 6’5, very dark brown curly hair with a few noticeable gray hairs, it's a little overgrown but on the shorter side, green eyes, light stubble, lighter complexion but with olive undertones, thick build, chubby, wide shoulders and chest, has a lot of random scars all over, but especially on his legs. He has black rectangular glasses
Background: Was born into the fallen guild, Black Claw, and found out he was Panther's grandson years later. Before this, he had parents in the guild who he remembers fondly, but they disappeared when he was about 8 years old, presumably dead on a mission. Panther, not too long before his death, told Cyrus his parents were still alive, but he's not sure if it's true or not. He's not so sure it's a priority for him to find that out, because it would probably just cause more issues. He was raised in the guild alongside with Sparrow and Luna, and they met Uriah after some things went horribly wrong and they left the guild. He is Uriah's best friend, and he's been in a romantic relationship with Sparrow for years. The past few years, he's been trying to get into a medical practice, but he's struggling. He tutors on the side.
Guild: White Wing
Outfits: Sweatpants. All the time. They're comfy and fit over his knee brace well. He likes to wear looser clothes because he's a little insecure about his body, so lots of sweatshirts, though he's known to wear the occasional button-up and slacks for nicer occasions. Usually has on some kind of boots. Dresses exclusively in blacks and grays.
Shipping: Has been with Sparrow for years
Alignment: Neutral good
Weapons: Double-edged sword, staff, fists, but if you ask him he'll make a joke about a cutting wit
Skills: Strategy, healing, teaching, also fist-fighting (but that's more because of his size)
Pets: A really old tuxedo cat named Zelda, a gray tabby kitten named Bones
Other: His left knee is messed up from some stuff that went down a few years ago. It's usually just slightly achy, but sometimes it locks up, or gets swollen and really painful. He figures he'll get a knee replacement eventually, but it seems unusual because he's still so young.
Still has nightmares of how he brutally murdered Panther.

(Okay, cool. I'll slowly get my characters up because I'm still doing my work lol. Can I make someone in Dark Gemini?)

(I guess I'll make another guy? This RP has a ton of girls in it lol)

(There's nothing wrong with it, just an observation. Also I prefer playing guys, so that leaves more opportunity for me lol)

(Yikes I need to get my other kids up)

Name: Vida Lovric
Nickname: Vi
Age: 12
Personality: Sweet and caring, selfless, fun-loving, absolutely loves life, not very assertive, attentive to detail for a child and tends to notice some things others don't but is also kind of dense (high intelligence, low wisdom), very determined and doesn't know when to give up
Sexuality: Ace Lesbian
Appearance: 4'11, small but strong with broad shoulders for a girl, not developed yet and still looks like a child, chin-length golden blonde wavy hair, blue-green eyes, light cream skin with a spray of freckles
Background: Was brought into Black Claw with her brother, Ilya. They were separated from their parents. Her brother said they were pawned off for good money. Both of them were trained to their breaking points. Vida never really fit in because she wasn't good enough and was too soft. Ilya was the sort of strength the guild needed, but he hated them so much. He was a rebel, and this got him killed, all in front of Vida, so he could be an example to her. She and a few other kids managed to escape somehow and found the White Wing guild. Vida was immediately drawn to Cyrus, because he reminded her of the brother she lost. Now, Cyrus and Sparrow have adopted her, but unlike the other kids she escaped with, she decided to forgo changing her last name, partially because it's a little something she still has that also belonged to her brother.
Guild: White Wing
Outfits: Usually wears patterned leggings and sweaters, but likes wearing cute dresses when the situation calls for it. Usually wearing shoes that bear at least some resemblance to ballet slippers
Shipping: Sure, but she's also a kiddo, so
Character alignment: Chaotic good
Hobbies: Likes doing artistic stuff like drawing and painting. She's not great at it, but it's fun at least.
Fav weapons: Mostly just uses knives, trained in hand-to-hand. Cyrus opted not to train her beyond self-defense after Black Claw disbanded.
Most skilled at: She's going to be a healer one day, but she's not good at it yet. She doesn't have anything that she's naturally exceptional at, other than making others feel welcome and loved, but she does put in a lot of hard work to honing skills.
Pet: Mastiff mix named Noodles (Cyrus absolutely lost his mind when she decided that's what she was going to name this tough-as-nails dog)
Other: Swears a lot because she's picked up such habits from her brother, and Cyrus only ended up reinforcing them

(Hahah, thanks. I really enjoy playing her. A lot more than I thought I would.)

(I'm gradually making my Gemini character, but idk if he'll be up tonight)

(So the assignment I didn't do was a test reflection, and I literally sat here and wrote a page and a half about how I didn't do shit before our exam and why I'm an absolute fool.)

(I’m going to bed, though. Night! I’ll put up my other character and a reply tomorrow.)
