The Golden Tether

fate

  • "But what is the most discerning.. is this ravenous hunger.
    Perpetual hell, unending madness; I’ve come to both loathe and love the feeling."
  • 9vqOt6l.png
  • "A constant reminder of what I will never be again, of what I truly am,
    separating me forever from all the things that no longer make me a man."
  • Rumors
    Some rumors that have spread around the Tether concerning Cyn, to be used ICly, that may or may not hold some truth..

    It has been said that he is part shadow, and if the sunlight touches him, he will disperse into a cloud of smoke.

    Some have said that he is not really a Drow at all, but an elf in hiding who paints his skin black to disguise his true identity.

    It is rumored that his hair is made of spider’s silk.

    His eyes are black because he sold his soul to a powerful demon who offered him limitless wealth and influence.

    Rumored to have an obsession for blood, feeding only from young, female virgins after seducing them.

    He is allergic to cheap or low quality fabrics.

    It has been rumored that he can disfigure others with just the will of wanting to do so.

    When angry, his eyes glow an eerie and terrifying red.

    He can communicate with spiders, and even turn into one himself.

    Some of the paintings in his mansion are actually magically-bound men and women who have crossed him.
    Classified

    || Flesh Craft ||

    Testament to the darker nature of what he truly is at the core. An ability in which Cyn can mold flesh, tendon and bone, not limited to himself.

    Cyn has built the foundation of his fortune over the years taking in requests for those interested in the subtle or extreme enhancements of their features.. or requests for disfiguring deformities to those so despised by his clients. These days, Cyn refrains from using the craft too much, not wanting to draw unwanted attention to himself. To those that find out about his expertise, however, he often charges a staggering amount for the process, choosing those that pique his interest in some remarkable way.

    || Shadow Weaving ||

    There is something unsettling about the way shadows seem drawn to Cyn, clinging to him as though trying to return from whence they came. The true potential of this ability has yet to be seen by anyone still living. And even to him, much of what he can do remains a mystery, limited only by his imagination.

    || Rapid Healing ||

    Cyn’s body has a default state that it constantly tries to revert to if otherwise damaged in any way. Broken bones, if not set properly, will often heal wrong without guidance. Depending on the severity of the wound, he may require some time to recharge afterword.

    || Enhanced Reflexes ||

    Unnatural at best; above average. He occasionally has a hard time separating his senses, particularly after waking up, leaving him in a vulnerable state of blur to painstakingly sort them out, one by one. Sight and sound are often the worst of them for him to correct.

    Light on his feet, Cyn can move through most spaces undetected.

    || Chilled Touch ||

    Cyn’s body temperature runs unnaturally cold. Over the years, he has developed a quirk where plants and flowers wither almost instantly upon being touched.
    || Allure ||

    While he will often deny it, he seems to have an affinity with the undead, and to some extent, all supernatural beings. Creatures so afflicted are often found with an unnatural desire to be close to him, drawn in by an unusual allure that only intensifies upon touch. The resulting effect can be quite addictive for both parties involved if not properly controlled. Though it is often that those so unfortunate become compliant thralls long before they realize the danger of what's happened to them.

    I will often put this out during RP. However you wish to respond to the intensity of the pull of this skill, or not at all, is ultimately up to you. Questions, please feel free to ask.

    || Empathy ||

    Cyn’s senses are acute to the point that he can literally feel emotions move across his skin as if someone were touching him with them. Given the nature of the emotion, they can either feel hot or cold and can even, if outrageously intense, stagger or cause Cyn to black out. While he cannot read the emotions clearly, years of being so receptive have caused Cyn to generally be able to guess how others are feeling--often times with an eerie accuracy as if he could read thoughts as well.

    || Sensitivity ||

    While Cyn has flawless vision in the dark, rooms brightly lit, magical flares, or the direct light from the sun can severely impair his vision. The same goes for extremely high-pitched sounds, depending on the frequency of the tone.

    || Insomniac ||

    Fragmented dreams of a tormented past often creep up on him through sleep. Due to this, Cyn often goes days, weeks even, without much sleep. When this happens, he is susceptible to blackouts that can potentially lead to memory loss. Small things, typically. Though he has lost some huge gaps in his memory because of this.

    Due to recent developments, he rarely requires sleep anymore.
    Miscellaneous

    || Alchemy ||

    A skill obtained through years of extensive study under the masterful thumb of his Grandfather at a very young age. While his knowledge in the field is quite vast, Cyn only ever occasionally creates elixirs and poisons for purchase when the mood strikes him, or for personal favors. More of a hobby than a true passion, though he has been using it more and more lately.

    || Language ||

    Having traveled and lived in many parts of the world, Cyn can read and write in countless languages.

    || Music ||

    Having a very keen ear and a passion for classical music, Cyn is exceptionally talented in a wide variety of musical instruments ranging from the more common piano, violin, cello, and harp, to more exotic varieties from his time spent traveling in the East, such as the koto and shamisen.

    || Art ||

    A collector of fine art, gifted with great talent himself, portraiture being his specialty. Occasionally, he offers up his skills for a modest price.

    || Literature ||

    His thirst for knowledge has contributed to the collection of a personal library quite massive in size. He has been known to seek out rare books on dark magic and extinct civilizations.

    || Trinkets and artifacts ||

    Cyn owns a collection of rare and often one-of-a-kind trinkets from all over the world. Most of which are particularly unusual in nature.
