Kyros Reynard Asher ~WIP~
Name: Kyros Reynard Asher
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Race: Human
Origin/Birthplace: Cavitt. Cavitt lies in the Traub region in the continent of Alvarez. It's not quite large enough to be a city, yet its almost too small to call it a town. The town is divided into the cardinal zones and the central zone. Kyria was born in the Eastern zone, home of Cavitt's upper-middle class workers. The Western zone houses the upper-class citizens and the Southern zone is divided between the middle and lower-class workers. The Northern zone is industrial, made up of factories and the hydroelectric power plants. Compared to the rest of the settlement, the Northern zone was like one giant mass of concrete and steel. The central zone was the center of all things commercial in Cavitt. Since this has all of the stores and entertainment and the lot, the central zone is the busiest of the zones.
The region of Traub is fairly elevated. Hills and plateaus litter the landscape, making it an interesting terrain for the lakes and rivers. Cavitt itself is on the side of a hill. Its southern half faces a pair of plateaus, which allows a river to spill over and collect into a lake of fresh water (known as Lake Hibes).
Lake Hibes' only outlet is a gap between a pair of hills flowing out of Hibes' northern edge. The gap leads downhill and steadily grows wider over the years due to erosion from the river. The river slowly twists around the Western portion of Cavitt and is stemmed by a dam, which was placed as a hydroelectric plant to fuel the town with electricity.
Current Residence: Wherever his feet can take him. Ever since Kyros saw a glimpse of the outside world, he can never get enough of it. He travels wherever he wishes, as long as he has the strength to go on.
Appearance:
~ Hair Color, Style, and Length: Like his sister's hair, Kyros' is scarlet. His bangs are kept out of his eyes by a bandanna and reach down barely past his cheeks. The rest of his hair reaches down to his lower back and is tied off near the bottom to keep it from flying about.
~ Eye Color: Jade green, a little duller than Kyria's eyes.
~ Height: 5' 9"
~ Weight: 130 lbs
~ Complexion: Though he travels, Kyros doesn't have much of a tan. He is scarred here and there, but those can only be seen if someone looks up close. Besides that, he appears fairly clean.
~ Build: Kyros bears some muscle, but is nowhere near bulging or bulky. He manages to keep a rather fit yet thin build.
Appearance in a Nutshell:
Weapon: Bloody Bane
The Bloody Bane is a single-edged crimson saber that is four feet long from tip to pommel and four inches at the widest from the dull edge to the sharp edge. The blade is made of a special metal that is meant to withstand heat. The handle, including the guard and pommel, is fifteen inches long. Red leather is wrapped around the handle for comfort and improved grip. A smooth, polished ruby makes up most of the pommel and is used to channel what few spells Kyros has. There are also red tassels dangling down from the handle, but are merely for decoration.
Armor: The only bit of armor he has is a tough, red leather vest, which is held together by brown straps made of a softer leather.
Magic:
Fire Magic: The only sort of magic that Kyros knows is fire magic. He uses his entire sword to channel his spells. However, since he doesn't concentrate on his magical abilities, he doesn't have much of a variety. Similar to Kyria's fire magic, Kyros' body heat is sacrificed for the spell. However, since he doesn't rely too much on his magic nor does he develop it, not as much body heat is used per spell.
~ Searing Blade (Time elapse; about two posts): Kyros concentrates heat into the ruby, which transfers directly toward the blade of his sword. The built-up heat is nearly visible up to an inch from the metal. Kyros merely uses this to add more pain to his slashes. After the spell wears off, he gets a chill down his spine.
~ Sparks (Time elapse; immediate): Again, Kyros concentrates heat into the ruby, which builds up and transfers to the sword's blade. As the spell name suggests, sparks spring out from the blade, extending out to a foot and a half at max before becoming dead cinders. This has little use for battle, so he merely uses this to start a fire when he needs it.
Abilities/Skills:
Lock picking: Kyros has some skill in lock picking, though isn't quite as good as, oh say, your average thief. He can manage simple locks, but complex locks and combination locks are not his forte`.
Stealth: Every once in awhile, some sneaking is required to get from point A to point B. Kyros is stealthy enough to stay crouched and get from one spot to the other without knocking something over and making a huge crash. ...although, once in awhile, he'd slip and let that one fallen broomstick get him in a world of trouble.
Cooking: Though one would probably never guess it by looking at him, Kyros is a much better cook than Kyria is...at least as far as normal cooking goes. Kyria still surpasses him at making sweets. Since he normally cooks on the road and over an open fire, he's best at throwing together a meal with whatever is available. Even if he only had water, meat, some potatoes, a loaf of bread, and wild greens to work with, he can still do wonders when given a pot and wooden spoon or a pan and a spatula.
Personality: Despite his somewhat childish antics in public, Kyros is as kind and caring as most elder brothers can be. Since he still feels that he is at fault for his sister, Kyria, trekking across the wilderness with him and sleeping without a roof over her head, he tries to assume a fatherly role for her when it is just the two siblings and perhaps a select few others. Though he is concerned about the well-being of others, Kyria has the tendency to take care of others well before Kyros could even think of a way to lend a hand. Which makes this a lot easier on Kyros, leaving him just two people to take care of; Kyria and himself. Despite having his little sister to take care of, Kyros considers himself a free bird, going wherever he pleases
First Impression: Carefree and mischievous, Kyros loves pulling pranks on people just for laughs. Most of them are harmless, of course. His favorite target for these pranks is his kid sister, Kyria. He is the life of the party and that shape in the shadows, stifling his laughs by covering his mouth and just waiting for his victim to fall into another one of his traps. Kyros is the type of guy who tries to make everyone crack a smile.

~ Distinguishing Marks and Features: The
Asher bloodline has an odd magical trait that runs in the family.
Depending on the magic-user's gender and magical progress, a 'tattoo'
appears on the back of his or her neck, near the base. When a boy
reaches her full magical potential, a sun appears, bearing a red and
orange spiral with yellow star-like rays. Kyros only has the red
spiral, though it rather faded.
Attire:
Head: White bandanna with a simple yellow sun in the middle. Worn over his forehead, right about where a third eye would be.
Torso: Yellow 1/3 sleeve shirt, torn at the bottom. Blue 1/4 sleeve coat with ripped coattails, bears breast pockets that are protected by crescent-moon zippers, held up by a full-moon zipper, large and floppy collar.
Arms and Hands: Brown leather gloves, extends down to elbows, fingers that previously fell off are stitched on the gloves, straps hug around the wrists to prevent dirt and rocks and other annoying particles from getting to his palms.
Waist and Legs: Tan shorts reaching down to his knees, four pockets, side pockets are protected by zippers with a red trim. Red leather belt holds up a large sheath of a similar material.
Feet: Brown leather shoes, bears a crescent-moon decoration on each foot, only covers toe to ankle.
