Illian Sythe

Nickname Sy

Age 24

Illian is slender with very little muscle or weight to him really he's mostly skin and bones though he certainly doesn't act like it. He has just shy of shoulder length chocolate brown hair with a slight wave to it (Though it looks black and fairly straight as he's not usually the cleanest person in the world.) He has lightly tanned skin and brilliant brown eyes and is usually wearing some torn trousers and a tunic.

Personality: untrusting though if you manage to gain his trust he's loyal, kind, and puts others needs before his own (which is why he's so skinny... more in rp) he's fierce and he works incredibly hard for whatever he can get.

Weaknesses: Well his whole "Putting others needs before his own" is a big thing... he's starving himself and working himself into the ground because he's putting his needs before his own, he will work himself to the bone if he has to despite knowing in the back of his mind that he won't be around to do anything more if he does that. He doesn't generally like accepting help... and he's quite a pushover when its someone he trusts.

Strengths: Loyalty he is fiercely loyal to whomever he gives his trust to. He is definitely a brains over brawn kind of guy (Not that he really has any brawn to try and use at the moment...) he's sharp and quick whitted and can generally get himself out of just about any situation if he manages to get himself into trouble in the first place.

Other: In rp

Illian was in the woods prowling as he put his wolf snout to the ground. He perked up spotting a large doe he licked his chops... all that meat? and the pelt to boot! It would fetch him a beautiful amount of coin he was sure of that so he checked to make sure nobody was around before he drew his sword, despite his slender frame he could certainly hunt and kill well enough. It was quick and he hoped painless for the creature while still preserving the pelt pretty well, he took his time to carefully skin the animal and fold its pelt neatly before putting it in his satchel "Thank you for your sacrifice..." he said gently before he started in on the meat being sure to leave some for any vultures or other preditors searching for food. He packed it away and stood looking around before he made his way out of the forest his hands and clothes were bloody but he didn't care... he was quite pleased with what he had gotten. When he got to town he stood on the fountain and offered up the pelt and about 3/4ths of the meat he'd gotten from the deer "Fresh meat and a lovely deer pelt! Buy them separately or together I don't really care! The pelt would make a lovely hood or cloak for you or your beautiful maiden and the meat would last a small family for a week! no offer is a bad offer!" he chirped trying to draw as much attention to himself as he could.

The castle walls were huge. Extraordinary, extravagant, or and other words in the dictionary thats used to describe 'too much'. They were also something that the Royal families cousins never got to see from the outside much. Not anymore, at least. When she was young, Maria would have the chance to break through those big old wooden doors all the time- to feel the warm fresh air flood through the cold and dark hallways after using all of her might to get them open, was something she craves on a hourly basis now. All because of this silly dispute. She only got out maybe once every two weeks, to go for a stroll or see what the towns folk had to offer in their family run shop. Or simply just to socialise. Of course, this wasn't without being heavily guarded, but she didn't quite mind that. She actually enjoyed the company of her guards. They had seen so much and it was ever so interesting to hear about. To imagine what she would have done in their shoes. She would have been scared out of her wits, but adrenaline was something she wanted. She left some nights... alone, and to be honest, it was just to get that adrenaline rush. To do one thing, and one thing only... to hunt. Not animals, and not people... but the inbetween. Shifters - the ones to undoubtedly cause most of the deaths here and around. To rid the kingdom of the vile things... no one seemed to have noticed her leaving, nor when she came back covered in blood. It was late at night when she did this, so there was never anyone around. But, something in her wanted someone to find out... she wanted them to be proud of their princess... no realise that she could do more than sit still and look pretty. But she'd settle for the times she'd gotten out with the guards... today being one of those days. She would get to go out in few minutes, just to still with her guards around the markets... they'd probably buy something or other, and she rather enjoyed browsing anyway.

Once she was finally out, she noticed everyone was looking... Staring. She knew it was because she had an abundance of guards at her side, but still. She flashed a smile and a wave to a few people, but all she got in return were glares. What in the world had she done wrong? After that, she kept her head down and followed them to a little market. That's where she got a little freedom but it didn't last particularly long, as one of the guards was adamant that she had enough time. She argued back but she eventually followed them along once again. They all stopped suddenly at a stall a little bit outside of those wretched walls. A meat man. She assumed they were all stocking up so just huffed impatiently before she took a closer look. The meat trader. He looked... off. Almost out of place. But she wasn't sure why. She found herself observing the interactions between her loyal guards and the stranger. Something was off... she just couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Illian smiled in a charming fashion "Its my pleasure to serve royalty." he assured "I only take what I need for myself, the rest is yours." he assured his big brown eyes looking to them as he offered the meat and the pelt the scar across the middle of his face wrinkling as he smiled, his cheeks were sunken in as were most of his features... through the tares in his tunic you could see he was little more then flesh and bones. "Fresh and undamaged." he said happily before he finally exchanged the meat and pelt for a small sack of coins "Thank you for your business good sirs." he said before he hopped off the fountain and headed off into the part of town meant for the lower class citizens... their houses barely stood but at least they had roofs over their heads for the most part.

Illian however didn't have as much of a roof as he had the underneath of a porch covered in wooden planks as a makeshift floor as he made his way to a soft bed of furs the little occupant tucked in the middle coughted and greeted him "Illian!" she wheezed "You're back!" she cooed "Yup... it took me all night but I finally found a deer... I even sold the pelt and most of the meat to the royal guards." he said showing her the sack of coins he'd gotten "Another trip or two and I should have the money for your medicine." he chirped "Then we'll go on more adventures." he assured as he prepared her dinner "Sleep after we eat ok?" the little girl who couldn't have been more then 12 or 13 scolded lightly "You're the boss little sis." he chuckled. After they ate he shifted and crawled into her bed with her in his wolf form to provide extra warmth and get some sleep.

It was night by the time he'd woken up again his stomach growling, he simply ignored it and nosed some pelts onto his sister to cover her before he switched out of his wolf form and headed out for his hunt, he hoped he could find another deer or two... maybe one with antlers even... someone would want those as decoration for sure. "I'll be back in the morning." he assured as the little girl wheezed in her sleep. He ducked out from underneath the desheveled porch and ran back off to the forest switching to his wolf form once more his nose to the air in an effort to catch the smell of another deer.

Illian padded through the forest until he paused coming across a pack of real wolves who were hunting he made an attempt to hide but of course the wolves found him, he did his best to be submissive and show that he wasn't a threat but even the wolves knew he was different and they didn't like it... he was... unnatural so they took their turns essentially beating on him before he ran off a bloody and bitten whimpering mess it was taking all of his energy to stay in his wolf form and eventually he couldn't hold onto it anymore so when he'd reached a small stream he collapsed and rolled nearly all the way into the water his wounds spilling blood into the water, there were bites on his shoulders, more scratches on his face and just more injuries overall, one of the worst ones was his neck, they'd just missed getting anything that would kill him but they'd still gotten a bite in his wounds were overcoming his survival instincts even though he knew deep in his mind he'd left a lot of evidence behind that was fairly obvious his heavier unpracticed footfalls showed his clear transformation from wolf to human... his groans echoed through the forest the only sign that he was even still alive as he fought to break through the blackness that surrounded him now.
