Username: Kingman
Character's Name: Cynric
Age(over 18): 24
Gender: M
Description: Cynric is tall height for his race and time- standing at 5’9”, he’s of Anglo-Saxon and Norse descent, with pale skin, blue eyes, and white-blond hair, long and normally neatly tied back in braids. Cynric prefers to keep himself as disheveled as possible, often going unshaven and unwashed.
He prefers to wear wool tunic and pants, normally dirty, with an steel lamellar over that.
Many scars march their way up his body, and this is especially apparent when he actually washes. The most prominent of these is one that closes an old wound that stretches from his lower back to neck in a cross shape. His tattoo is also on his back, and it’s very large due to his slaughter.
Species (Human, Elf, Dragon, Half-breed, etc.): Human (some magical blood WAAY back)
Powers/Skills:
*Cynric is a moderately skilled magic user, but specifically in changing the shape of things. He cannot change their color or material.
*Cynric is somewhat of a expert in swords, spears, and the such. His treasured arming sword
Vice or spear,
Wodin, can be skillfully used to slide into human bodies. He’s no tank, but his strength and dexterity are quite balanced.
*Cynric feels right at home at the sea and cold. Where others might feel seasick and shivering, he’ll feel energized and warm, and is quite good at reading the stars.
*Cynric is a high Delta assassin. He’s been with the guild most of his life and is good at..doing his assassinating, but his rebellion and sensitivity towards distractions on the job doesn’t help. He also doesn’t see a point in getting higher in the ranks and therefore doesn’t want to go through the trouble of killing those above him.
Role (Escaped, Assassin, Normal (No Affiliation With Guild)): Escaped
Personaity: Cynric is half of what he was supposed to be. The Assassins wanted a ruthless killer, which they got, but they didn’t get his loyalty. Cynric is built to endure, never to break, and he hasn’t quite broken yet. He’s obviously extremely stubborn and even if he realizes his convictions are wrong, he stays with them in order to maintain the record. He despises losing things, and is not very patient. Even as an assassin, he prefers to simply barge into the room and kill them opposed to, say, sneaking in the window. Cynric has little to no morality due to the training, and will not hesitate to kill men, women or even children, and furthermore will not even do it quickly if it nets him enough reward. He’s rather extroverted, happy to converse with victims or other assassins, though much of it is also mocking. He’s no strategist.
One of his only soft spots is his love for alcohol, which fuels an addiction that he can’t help anymore. It’s easy to get Cynric off-task, and he often after a job stuck around in the city brothels and bars for a few days before retiring home.
In the end though, Cynric is deeply empty. His willingness to jump into action is fueled mostly by an apathy to whether he lives or dies. He drinks away his depression only for it to always come back, and he looks desperately for a purpose or meaning to life besides the situation he is in.
Cynric utterly despises being owned by the Assassins. He hates his tattoo, and saw Initiation as degrading, but necessary to live- though now, he would have rather died. He hates being a slave to another’s will. His worst nightmare is always breaking to their will, which he has promised he will never do.
Backstory: Cynric was born to Aldric Beorn’s Son, and Sigrid the Norsewoman. Aldric was a young man when a girl was found wounded nearby a battle. She was a swordmaiden, a Nordic woman who was happy to bash him over the head even wounded. He took her in, feeding her well. He was a small lord’s youngest son, and no one really minded his choice in mistress, though they could not marry until much later. They fell deeply in love, both fighters.
The night Sigrid had her babe there was a thunderstorm, but at the end of it all there was a child in a cradle. They were rather good parents. Cynric was their pride and joy. From a young age he was an adventurous child, climbing trees and learning the art of the axe from his mother and the sword from his father.
It all changed when Aldric died in the Crusade when Cynric was 9. Sigrid and Cynric mourned deeply. Now, the town could finally banish the odd pagan woman and her child socially. A pregnant Sigrid and Cynric moved to live away from the others.
One night, an assassin came when he was 10. Cynric’s grandfather sent a knife after his son’s widow, and it struck deep. The assassin did not expect a 10-year-old child to stab him through with his father’s sword as he stood bleeding, finally having taken out the axe-wielding mother.
Three days later, they found a shivering boy, clutching his mother’s seax knife in his white fists in the house.
From that moment on he was ‘assassin’. Cynric disobeyed his trainers, often wounding them, killed too many innocents to name, escaped several times and was beaten more than humanly possible. Cynric simply never stopped fighting. Though he was initiated and such, he did so out of sheer brutality and will.
Other:
*Cynric is bisexual, but is not open about it due to time period.
*The other assassins mostly find him normal except when it comes to the ‘no one is my boss’ sort of thing
*Cynric hates confined spaces or feeling weak.
*His many weapons are actually family heirlooms...other than
Vice, which killed his father.
*Cynric was born female, but at about 11 he used his power to mostly be physically male.
*Cynric is a self-made blend of Norse pagan and Christianity religion wise.
There we go! Tell me if I made any mistakes so I can fix em up!
