Shysk
(Silent One)



Basic Information
Race: Mixblood, Human Mother, Zith Father
Birthday & Age : 1st Day of Winter, 492 (18 Summers old)
Gender:Male

Physical Description
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150 lbs
Fur: Deep, majestic blue
Hair: A violent shade of crimson
Eyes: Green
A tall, young male, Shysk often appears the wild loner; his short blue fur, red hair and green eyes are an eccentric mixture. His claws are sharp and slightly smaller than one would expect, but never doubt their proficiency. His face is easily remembered; his high cheeckbones and strong jaw give an instant appearence of confidence and elegance, while his mild expression suggests a calm and peaceful person. His voice however is never heard; his tongue was carved out as a child.

Character Concept
Shysk is not a loner by nature, nor by choice, but by chance. He is jealous of others, not for their riches and possessions, but because they have what he wants, and needs; companionship. He is a shy and mild individual, but those who cross him or commit injustice in his presence awake a frightful individual; a warrior of a cruel and ferocoius appetite. He has strong morals and an ethical code and stands by his descisions no matter the consequences. He is often charitable when he can be, but he is, to a lesser extent, fairly ammoral. He has one weakness; a constant hunger for love and companionship, that is not only sexual but spirtual.

Character History

The Attack

'It was good while it lasted but eventualy, everything dies'

Born in the Taldera wastelands to a Zith father and a human mother, Shysk remembers only joy in his childhood; his father teaching him to hunt and fight, his mother teaching him to write and to craft. The village wherin they dwelled was a small and peaceful place where he grew for eight years. He remembers only ever seeing love between his parents; never anger or hate. However his idyllic existance was crushed before he had even reached a decade of age; when he was eight raiders sacked the village. He watched as the men were killed and the women were raped and dragged to slavery, unable to do anything as the blood stained the virgin snow. His father resisted, trying to save his wife as she was despoiled only to be cut down by a bandit. Shysk was forced to watch the last of the children being slaughtered along with his mother who was torn apart by maces and flails before his tongue was carved from his mouth and left to die. Shysk, though maimed for all his life and bleeding a trail for three miles, managed to crawl out of the ruins and, driven half mad by pain, loss and grief, wandered into the wild, carrying only his fathers sword and his mothers notebook.

The Wild

'The less said about it the better. I mean it.'

For years he travelled the wild, hunting and foraging his way towards Avanthal, driven by his need to hear a voice and feel a consoling hand on his. Though this expirience would have driven others insane with dispair and hurt, Shysk has managed to hold onto his mind, due only to one factor; Hope, he hopes to find peace and companionship even if he must hunt that elusive quarry for a thousand years. No-one knows what happened to him in the wilds only that, whatever it was it has scarred him forever.

The Present

'Stand beside me, or step aside; stay in my way and i swear by Morwens Lights I'll eat your heart this night'

Recently he discovered a town in the wilderness; a place of warmth and light in a wilderness of ice and cold. Within this haven in the ice he met Keliselle, a Vantha girl, whom he discovered in the town; as beautiful as Morwens Lights and as kind as the new dawn, and more fun than a snowball fight as Shysk has said. Charmed by her beauty and warmth, and she charmed by his gentle nature and symapthy to his plight, they began a daliance they led to them making love on several occasions and even talk of him settling down there. However a bandit attack on the villiage took her from him; once again Shysk was alone. If it were possible, this was even worse than when he had first been lost in the snow; he had tasted the joy of love were dispair had haunted him for a decade, only to have it ripped from his grasp and dashed upon the altar of cruel Fate. But, this taste had given him strength; this time though the bandits left tracks; tracks that lead straight to Avanthal. Now armed with a new purpose and a hope that eclipses all others, Shysk advances...

Aesthetics :
1. Describe yourself as you see yourself.
Tall, blue and... Stubborn, ill tempered and a general pain in the arse. People always seem to pity me though and that quite annoys me; it’s bad enough I have to write everything out even ‘I love you’ without people staring at me like I was a blind and deaf mute.

2. Describe yourself as others typically see you.
... Stubborn, ill tempered and a general pain in the arse, that is before they know me; then it’s all smiles and love and yet more pain in the arse!

3. What is your favorite body feature?
My hands; they do most of the work.

4. How physically fit are you?
I can run for several miles without rest, I can sprint through the blizzard without pause, and I’m pretty sure I can swim as well. Just don’t hold me to it.

5. How do you typically dress and what is your style?
I dress in winter gear of a dark colouration, preferably black.

Father was called Night-Eye, Mother was called Elena. He was strong, wild and kind, she was sweet, gentle and kind.

No.

3. What is your extended family like?
I don’t know; Father was in exile for marrying a slave; Mother. I’ve never seen my relatives.

Zith have a strong sense of family and I have inherited that from Father; anyone who hurts my friends has hurt me and I shall tear them apart with my claws and devour their flesh with my fangs.

5. Do you treat animals like family?
Most of the animals I have seen have either attempted to kill me or I was hunting, so... no, I don’t, though if I got a pet with Keliselle I might change.

In a village in the snowy Taldera wilds.

Straight.

A long one, with many acts of love, charity and courage within it.

2. What is your greatest regret?
That I couldn’t save Keliselle when she was kidnapped.

3. What is your best/worst memory?
My best memory is the last thing Keliselle said to me before our first night together. She said, ‘I love you.’ That’s it.

I would make sure the raid never happened.

5. What are you the most proud of doing in your life?
Catching a fish for supper for my parents wedding anniversary.

Completely; if we don’t speak the truth, how can others do the same to us?

No.

3. What makes you happy?
Companionship, warm food and a kiss from Keliselle.

4. Who or what, if anything, would you die for?
Keliselle.

5. What makes you angry?
People hurting and tormenting others. Such people deserve no more mercy than a rabid wolf.


Relationships :
1. In general, how do you treat others?
I treat others with respect, for we must treat others as we wish to be treated.

2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Keliselle; She is the breath in my lungs and the reason my heart beats.

3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
I have no one who I respect at the moment, other than Keliselle.

5. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
Keliselle said that she would always be there for me, and I trust in Morwen.

Neither; I say what I feel and fight when necessary.

2. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
No.

3. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
I don’t have much experience in that area, but so far I find it noisy, smelly and confusing. But I quite like it; it is nice to be back among people again.

4. Do you care what others think of you?
No, let the rest think and do as they will.

5. What do you think of others, in general?
They are who they are; I’m not going to judge them before I know them.


Self Image :
1. What is your greatest strength as a person?
Determination.

2. What is your greatest weakness?
Anger.

3. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would cast aside my anger like a grey cloak and live free of my rage.

4. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Ambiversion is more suiting to my attitude.

5. Are you generally organized or messy?
Messy. Very messy. Annoyed Keliselle a lot.


Beliefs :
1. What God or Goddess do you find most appealing, if any?
Morwen; She is the Guiding Light, the Mother of the North, and She is Kind and yet Terrible to those who dare pervert Her realm or assault Her people.

2. Which God or Goddess do you fear, if any?
Krysus; her dark siren call is difficult to resist when you wish to fight your foes and her reach is long. All about myself in the Wilds I saw her work, and I swore never to fall prey to it.

3. Do you have any Gnosis Marks? If so, how did you receive them?
No, no God or Dess has deigned to bless me.

4. What lengths would you go to to please your deity?
Any length as long as I can deal with whatever I must do.

I draw the line at murder and rape (trust me I’ve heard of Gods making worse demands).


Life & Death :
1. What do you absolutely live for?
Keliselle. She is everything to me; nothing else matters to me, not even my own life.

2. What is the best part of life?
Love. Without love we are lost in the tundra of misery.

We can see those we care about again, even for just the briefest moment, before Lhex sends us forth again.

4. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
In bed with Keliselle, holding each other.

5. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
My love for Keliselle, Anvanthal and for my poetry.
