Avenger Angel
Warrior of Heaven
Name: Cyrus Mason
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Hometown: Port Vermillion
Description: Standing 6'1", Cyrus has a slightly muscular frame, although he has trained himself more for agility, sneaking, and acrobatics. He also has a tan skin complexion, as well as several scars and tattoos. Meanwhile, he wears a black bandana over his long, black hair, which is tied up in a ponytail. He also has a black goatee, along with dark brown eyes and a scar over his right cheek.
Cyrus dresses in predominantly black leather to avoid drawing attention to himself. His usual outfit consists of black leather boots, pants, and a black jacket, all usually loose fitting clothing to allow for easy movement. He also doesn't wear much in the ways of jewelry or another useless trinkets or baubles. His clothing isn't anything fancy either, as Cyrus's main objective is to avoid drawing attention to himself.
Cyrus's main physical attributes are his perception, his strong eyesight and sense of hearing. He also has very exceptional dexterity, able to wield and effectively use weapons that require deft, quick movement. Lastly, he has trained himself well in terms of agility. He lacks raw, physical strength, however, and relies much more on his weapons and sneaking rather than his ability to fight hand to hand. But, if he absolutely has to, he will.
Personality: Guile, deceitful, and sneaky, Cyrus is nothing less than a rogue, a raider, a smuggler, an assassin, a saboteur, and whatever roguish role he needs to fulfill. Cyrus doesn't care for morals, as morals can't buy anything while money can. Cyrus will be out to seize any opportunity he can, and he feels that if he doesn't take it, some other person will and won't even make very good use of it.
Seeing as how Pokécite is a very sought after resource, Cyrus is out to steal and acquire as much of it as he can. As a member of the shady Indigo Brotherhood, he receives top dollar for the Pokécite, along with many other pleasures and perks for being a part of the secret thieves guild. Cyrus feels most of the people that are carrying Pokécite are clueless as to its true potential. Cyrus is willing to acquire it however he can, whether it involves theft, lying to owner into relinquishing it to his possession, or if all else fails, assassinate the owner to obtain the precious resource.
If things truly go bad, Cyrus knows and can retreat from danger, knowing there is no shame in running to live and fight another day. And frankly, the best defense is simply running away. If the situation calls for it, he knows how to blend in, disappear, and ensure he's never seen again by those that would want him dead or captured.
In terms of personality, Cyrus has no personal interest in Pokécite. Wearing it proudly is simply arrogant in his opinion, and those that flaunt it deserve to have their throats cut. He understands where the fascination is, but he feels it's far too rare of a thing to wear it openly and not expect danger. As a result, he only acquires it for the money, and the shady Indigo Brotherhood is promising him a lot of gold coins for each one he acquires.
Cyrus also hates the rich, and despises haughty, arrogant nobles who like to walk on the poor. Cyrus has only scraps of honor, as he won't assassinate a poor, lowly person, but will instead steal from those that already have more than they could ever possibly use in their lifetime. And even though Cyrus is out to make money, he would never allow himself to become like the rich nobles that think the world is theirs to feast upon. He also makes allies out of those that know the rich very well, such as their servants or the local bartenders. It helps him immensely when it comes to separating nobles from their wealth and precious resources.
As a side role, Cyrus also works as an actor and an entertainer, simply for show, to get an assessment on his targets, whether they're people or particular items of value, and to act as an informant for his rogue allies. Celebrations such as festivals, parties, weddings, and the like often call for Cyrus to serve as an actor and a performer. As a result, it allows him to get close to his targets without raising suspicion, or allows him to help his Indigo Brotherhood associates find and track their target as Cyrus keeps them entertained and distracted. Cyrus is also very good as a master of disguise, able to appear to be someone or something else, with the ability to feign different accents and voices.
History: Cyrus was born in Port Vermillion as an illegitimate child. His mother abandoned him early in life, and as a result, Cyrus learned to live off of the land as a thief. He gained street smarts as a result, and relied learning off of experience instead of formal education. When times were hard, he worked as a librarian and a scribe, although he disliked that kind of work. It did, however, teach him how to read and he did gain respectable money from it. However, a fire at the blacksmith carried on from building to building, burning down the blacksmith, the bakery, the jeweler, and then the library, leaving Cyrus completely out of a job. He later moved on to become a locksmith, which ultimately gave him plenty of knowledge of how to manipulate and pick locks.
When he became a teenager, he was picked up by the Indigo Brotherhood after they had caught him sneaking into a local butcher shop. They admired the way he was able to pick the lock in record time, sneak in even while the butcher was inside, wipe his coffer clean, walk out like there was nothing to it, and blend into the crowd, almost to the point where they lost track of him and wouldn't have been able to recruit him. He also passed the initiation process, asking what was in it for him, and to not trust the recruiters so openly until they showed him the money and the goods. Simply accepting it all would have resulted in him being considered too naive to be given the opportunity.
While Cyrus's skills were admirable, they were still raw and unrefined, and the Indigo Brotherhood assisted him with that, showing him how to fight in case things got messy, or how to get away from the local guards. They also gave him tests, everything from assassinating haughty nobles, piracy, creating counterfeit goods, and smuggling. The only times Cyrus failed was because of an unforeseen event or circumstance, or because someone else badly messed things up and compromised the mission. The Indigo Brotherhood didn't regard him any less because of those failures, and just assured him that every now and then, bad luck reared its ugly face.
Through his twenties, Cyrus became attracted to money, liquor, and women. The Indigo Brotherhood promised him plenty of all of those things with the acquisition of Pokécite, and the allure of such pleasures was worth more than a few magical stones. In the meantime, he feels Pokécite isn't as useful or practical as a weapon or training in skills. He feels that in order for it to become useful, one must own a lot of it, and Cyrus isn't at all a collector of such things.
Fighting Style: Cyrus sticks to quiet, stealthy combat as opposed to the rushing out in the open and screaming war cries before plunging into the fight like a barbarian berserker. He is very skilled in small blades, from daggers to throwing knives. He also knows all the best spots to thrust one in and make an assassination quick and quiet. If things get difficult, he'll make a run for it, and won't be stupid or arrogant enough to take on a force that he knows would be impossible to handle. He also knows it may be easier to allow his adversaries to chase him so he can allow them to get separated and then get taken down one by one.
Cyrus never uses Pokécite himself, he simply retrieves it and gets rewarded for turning it in.
Weapon of Choice: Mainly daggers, throwing knives, and other short but sharp weapons. Cyrus likes them for their speed, ease of concealment, and quiet nature. As blades get bigger, they get harder to use and require more effort and time between each attack, and Cyrus has no interest in such things. A well-thrown knife or dagger can do the job any sword can do, only with much more speed and lethality.
From time to time, Cyrus will use a bow and arrows, but those occasions are rare. He's only moderately skilled in using a bow, and he feels it doesn't have the same flair as a throwing knife, slashing and spiraling through the air before landing in the head of his target.
Starting Poke'cite: None. Cyrus doesn't use Pokécite, he only gives it to the Indigo Brotherhood in exchange for money, respect, and other pleasures.
Other: Cyrus has strong lockpicking and forging skills, able to create counterfeit goods and documents. He is also an outstanding actor and entertainer, and is also very exceptional at lying and getting valuable information out of people.
