۵ Cyril ۵
Name: Cyril Stage: 3 - Illusionist, Trickster Rogue [Arcanist Path] Race: Lightning / Yaeli Gender: Male Sexuality: Unknown 3 Base Traits: Abrasive // Dedicated // Frugal Personality: Cyril is known as the unapproachable handsome. Whether intentionally or not, he is commonly known for having an intimidating aura and a cold expression. When thinking he is often off to himself in a corner with a narrowed gaze and lips pursed into a frown. When he lays down a plan, he expects it to be done and if anyone dares to backtalk his ideas then they better expect something in return. He's also the one to simply raise an eyebrow if someone is attempting to joke around and is an expert at keeping a straight face whenever someone is trying to make him laugh. He would much rather focus on work than play and only allows his family, especially his twin brother, to stay really close. He also won't waste time beating around the bush and will flat out tell you his thoughts, whether harsh or not. It makes him very unlikely to be the center of social activities as his cold nature and abrasive attitude keeps him towards the back corner of the room where he can just observe others and be left alone.
Cyril is very dedicated, however, and loyal to those who earn his trust. He will take care of those he is indebted towards and refuses to stay in anyone's debt. If you do manage to befriend him then you don't have to worry because come hell or high water you can rely on Cyril to come through for you. He's very determined after all and will push through any obstacle to try and accomplish the task at hand. The same will go for any hobbies or work that he finds himself caught up in. The boy will sometimes go days with very few hours of sleep in between studying and practice. It provides him more fodder for his blunt responses against those whom he deems aren't trying their best.
He also knows that traveling is expensive and will do his best to make certain that resources are not wasted. His frugal attitude may exasperate others who are wanting a flashier approach, but he keeps his things in order so that he can afford what he wants in the future. If coin can be hidden then he will hide it for the future and if something can be reused or repaired then he would work on fixing it up first before wasting resources to replace it.

۵History ۵
❣ Selim and Cyril's mother was among the first wave of Belreans to cross the great sea and explore Tendaji. She and others like her wanted to know as much about the new world as possible, so it came as little surprise to her family that once she landed...Dashia stayed for quite some time.
As a contortionist, Dashia stayed with her troupe, playing show after show for any that would come. Night after night she noticed a familiar face in the crowd; a young man with glowing eyes and the most enchanting smile she'd ever seen. She approached him after some time, and in his shyness he'd admitted to seeing repeat performances in the hopes he'd get to talk with her. However, his reserved nature prevented him from doing so, and thus he'd been content to just watch from afar.
Dashia learned that Ryss was a huntsman from Yael who had been drawn to the continent, despite early misgivings in life. He'd been scared, as were most of his kind, of the dangers travel would bring, and yet...he came, all the same. The pair hit it off quickly, and for the next few years all was well. However, all good things came to an end eventually, and theirs was when Dashia's troupe announced they would be returning to Belrea.
In the beginning Ryss had traveled with Dashia back to Valmon, and lived with her for months before his unhappiness consumed him. This world was a far cry from his own, and a huntsman simply had no place in a world of bronze and iron. The pair decided it was for the best if he returned to Yael, and with a heavy heart, Dashia said goodbye to Ryss.
At the time she hadn't known about the twins; that came several weeks later as a heartbreaking surprise. For a while she was torn between sheer dread at the idea of raising a child alone let alone two! The heart ache of knowing she would have a constant reminder of her yaeli love kept the performer awake at night, and yet...Dashia welcomed the pain. Each step of her pregnancy was a miracle, and once the boys were born it was as if the sun rose with their smiles. Dashia spoiled her babies rotten, and raised them as well as she could.
She tried several times to reach out to Ryss and tell him the news, but not a single letter returned. Several times Dashia debated going to Yael to find him, and yet, who would watch the boys? Wasn't it better to stay so that she wouldn't miss a single moment? Besides, twins were a full time job! And besides, what if he didn't want kids? What few times they'd spoken about it he'd stated that he was too young to worry about it, so gradually, her letters stopped.
Cyril, like his brother, had a great childhood full of love. However, unlike his older twin, the youngling was quieter and sometimes appeared more distant. If he stumbled while learning the trick of the trade he would walk away for a bit and not be seen for hours until the next morning or so when he was performing it perfectly. So while his skills at socializing weren't exactly the most charming the boy would learn to put on a good performance through sheer will and hard work.
While they did have the love of the company to help them grow, Cyril always held a grudge in his heart against his unknown father. Did he simply ignore their mother's letters? What did their father have which was so much more important than seeing his children? The youngling set a goal that one day he would travel the world and find this father so that he could finally get his answers. It was part of the reason that he started to save spare coin as much as possible, even stuffing it into hidden pockets in his pillows and spare clothing. His grudge against their father made him callous and wary of anyone expressing fondness for them. Would they stay or just end up leaving as well?
Obviously as hybrids with Yaeli blood both Cyril and Selim stood out in Belrea. As a youngling, Cyril brushed off the questions and would simply walk away whenever the questions upset him. It only made his grudge against their unknown father grow since he faulted him for their strange traits and for not taking responsibility for helping to create their existence in the first place. His bitter nature, his abrasive responses would only grow over time and if he ever spotted anyone bullying his older twin brother, Cyril would make certain to shut their mouths with his own fists later if necessary.
Because of their work family and the affection he received as a youngling, Cyril is dedicated to helping the troupe out. He works hard to perform and when he is older plans on being a performer. When the time is right he will try to venture forth to find their father in Yael but for now he is content working and saving up as much as possible. His journey to Yael will not be permanent but a simple chapter in his story before returning back to Belrea.

⚜Relationships⚜
*Selim - his twin brother.
*Harika - his...designer? The pair met in Belrea and Cyril has modeled several outfits for her in festivals and events, winning a couple of prizes while getting some free attire for himself. While he doesn't completely understand her outgoing and bubbly personality the performer is more than willing to go along with things since it has benefited him.

Cyril had been pondering his options for weeks. Everyone else seemed to have their mind set upon something but Cyril had so much he wanted to do that he wasn’t certain of his own role in this life. He wanted to stay with his family, to travel with the troupe, and gods knew that he had trained in the performing arts for years to do so. Then why the hesitation? He could simply just focus on dancing and continue amazing others with the fire dances he knew by heart. Such thoughts had bothered him for weeks and he found himself restless. It just didn’t seem like it was enough to satisfy him to simply dance. Now though he found himself browsing through a bookstore in town, his fingers running along ancient tomes towards the back out of sheer curiosity and boredom. What could he find here? It was only hours later when he came home with a series of books tucked under his arms that Cyril started having a true inkling of where his future may lie. What better way to perform and amaze a crowd than by adding some mystical elements? “Let’s see how hard it is to become an arcanist.” He mused quietly beneath his breath as he settled on his bed and started to browse through the second tome of spells and potions. It would take a lot of cunning and creativity to use magic to cast the effects that he wanted while dancing but if he mastered it then surely it would be worthwhile in the end. He could also use the magic to make protective spells and potions to help his family if they were ever in danger. The thought encouraged him even more and as Cyril continued reading he made note to go back to town in the morning to try and find an actual arcanist to get some more information from.

⚜ Growth Quest ⚜
Cyril is learning to let go. Growing up Cyril was always super protective of his family and worked hard to perfect himself so that he could take care of everything for them. Learning that his mother was getting more serious with another man made him hostile towards outsiders and even more protective of his family for fear of losing what previous bonds they had. Now though he has realized that he perhaps was a bit unfair in his actions towards his mother and is accepting the fact that they all have their own paths whether he likes it or not. While it’s hard for him to accept changes he will be pushing himself forward to take charge of himself and focus on learning his skills as an arcanist and traveling in the near future away from the troupe for the first time ever to try and piece together the puzzle of his Yaeli heritage and his father’s disappearance.
When Cyril first met Vesker he had shelved the man as another suitor who would shortly fail in his endeavors to woo their mother. The manly man was perhaps genuine in his affections for their mother and too simple for any plotting but he bothered Cyril. Whenever his mother attempted to get him to try and meet the man halfway he had simply brushed her off and avoided the topic entirely, his only responses a shot glare here and there before storming off and away from their tent. It was all stupid and he found himself burning with anger everytime he thought about it! Why couldn’t their mother just be happy with her sons? Did she have to find someone else to bother them like this? Cyril shook his head in frustration before going off to once more disappear into the training tent for the rest of the afternoon until late evening. Before he would have been home around dinner to help cook and to spend time with everyone else but lately Cyril found himself breaking away, his tangled emotions making him volatile more than ever before. It was finally with his mother’s latest attempt to get him to meet up with Vesker that he exploded upon her with a series of accusations and questions. “Why did you even bother to have us if you’d just lose the man in the first place and not find him again? Are we even worth keeping around once you move on? Is that what will happen to us next? We’re fine until some other lightning boys come into your life with this man?” The usually quiet teen found himself flushed, his emerald gaze flashing dangerously before he stalked away from his mother with his heart aching in his chest. It hurt so badly! Everything hurt, his gaze burned and his chest was tight and he hated it! How had Selim managed to go to that cafe and actually give that man his blessing?
How?!
Still, Cyril found himself eventually returning to their home late that night. It was so late that the sun would be up soon enough and he was surprised to find their mother awake and curled up in the chaise at the entry of their tent. Her eyes were oddly red and Cyril felt a guilty tug at his heart. Why had he taken out all of those burning questions on her? She’s just trying to be happy and move on so that you boys don’t have to worry about her anymore. That’s what one of the fire dancers had told him the other day and he had simply shrugged off the advice as useless. So why did it haunt him now? Was he being selfish, blaming his mother for his own insecurities? He wanted to control everything because he was afraid of losing it. But perhaps it would be best to simply let go so that she could flourish and be happy. Forcing something would only break their bond instead of strengthening it, especially now when she was begging for his support in this matter. “I’m sorry.” He murmured as he slipped into the room and sat on the floor next to his mother. “You deserve to be happy and I’m being stubborn.” He whispered before resting his head against the edge of the chaise so that his mother could pat his head.
“Cyril…”
“Really.” He protested before she could say anything else. “If you want to try things with Vesker then be with him. I won’t lie that I’m still uncomfortable with the idea of him but if you are happy that is what matters. However, I need to resolve these feelings of mine and I know what I must do.” His voice almost broke before he continued telling his mother of his plans for the near future. He would become a transfigurist and study so that he could do more performances with the troupe but first he had to resolve the mystery of their father’s disappearance. Cyril was resolved because he didn’t want those negative feelings to haunt him any longer. He was going to change with this journey overseas and surely it would be for the better in the end, right?
