Kyras Montori

 

 

Application Alignment: True Neutral Race: Half-Elf (Arcane Trained) Campaign Trait: Alabaster Outcast Other Trait: One of (Inherited from his unknown motherElven Reflexes, A "Small" stipend granted upon his exileRich Parents) Class: Summoner (Eidolon)

Appearance Age: 24 Height/Weight: I'm a metric native, but these represent an "average" figure on the SRD5'11" / 145 lb Gender: Male Hair/Eye Color: Blond / Brown Distinguishing Characteristics: Few major distinguishing features upon his own person. He is recognisable to those who do not know him by the signet ring upon his finger, the Montori crest is well known. Especially since the scandal of Exiling their Scion for reasons undisclosed. For those that examine him more closely he bears a strong chin, and the pointed ears of his mother will reveal him amongst a human crowd. Marks/Scars/Tattoos/Piercings: None. General Description: A picture is worth a thousand words, and is very much in line with my image of him, bar the sword. While Kyras is cut off from his wealth, he is still very much a nobleman in stature, a look that, when contrasted with his more recent attire, bespeaks pride and perhaps a little defiance of his new position.

Personality General Description: Kyras is not a good man, though he is hardly the fallen creature the nobles like to gossip about. He would, for instance not enjoy scaring a child for the sake of it. But to offer that same child comeuppance for an attempted theft is something he could enjoy. Kyras is not a reckless man, at least not to his mind. He will be sure of a course of action before he takes it. But at the same time, he is often hasty, not seeking the viewpoints of others, nor taking the time to convince them of his. Better to ask forgiveness, than permissionPreferring to simply show them that he was right. Likes: Being Right, The Game of Houses, Dark Purple and Gold, Longcoats (Not obsessively, but he keeps his eye out while shopping), Friendship. Dislikes: Slime or Ooze or other semisolid materials, Gaudy Colours or other general lacks of subtlety, Socialite, noble, cruel gossipAmy Kaizan Quirks: Likes shopping for groceries. Can flare his longcoat impressively, particularly when turning on his heel. Phobias: Being Explicitly Shown to have made a serious error in judgement.

Other notes His plan has always been to prove that summoning Mellisan was a good course of action, and he was even prepared for the exile, which he is convinced will be temporary. What he was not prepared for was his estrangement from his sister, who had been his close companion for twenty odd years. As a result his relationship with Mellisan, while still servant/master, imposed by the magic that binds them together, also bears a resemblance to a fraternal bond. Mellisan is not just a servant, she is a friend. But still, this estrangement from his sister hurts Kyras, and drives him, even more than his need to prove his worth to his father. On a side note for nearly four years now Kyras has had a crush on Emily Liona, a Chellaxian human who studied arcane magics alongside Kyras, a charming but meek young lady who has since taken her vows as an acolyte of Sheyln. Kyras has never met his mother

 

Kyras is human, as far as his family is concerned. The elven blood that runs in his, and his sister's veins is a matter of convenience, as was their father's marriage. His father saw advantage in longevity for his line and sought it out. The only concession to his elven heritage is the training he and his sister received in the use of arcane magic, which again seemed advantageous.

His family were wealthy, Alabaster district wealthy, and Kyras grew up knowing that he would have to apply his talents to continue this tradition of wealth, and so Kyras studied his arcane arts, and they came easily to him.

But his truest discovery were the books on the Summoning subschool, these books described the ways in which one could summon outsiders, devils specifically. The magics were, and remain too advanced for Kyras to cast. But he secreted them away never the less, studying them, because, as he studied, ideas came to him. Ways to form his magics. Ultimately he designed something that should replicate the spell that should bind an Erinyes. But different, the spell shouldn't actually summon an Erinyes. It was more like it shaped one, the initial spell belonged to the creation school in truth. The creature was not an actual devil, but it should have similar powers, and by binding it to himself, he could sustain control over it.

Unfortunately, his sister discovered the books and, a student of arcane magics herself showed them to their sire. When Kyras discovered the book missing he knew he had to hurry...

RP Sample:

 

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Kyras! Kyras, open up!"

Thump!

"Kyras, please don't do this!"

The lock was holding.

"Please! You don't have to do this! We can talk about it."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Father says you will be exiled if you go through with this. I don't want to lose you borther. Why are you bringing this evil thing into the world?"

The murmured chanting within stops momentarily

"She is not evil, sister, whatever her appearance. She will bring us great prosperity. You will see... Father will see."

The chant resumes, the ritual is nearly done.

"Then stop this... convince us."

Another Pause

"I may convince you, but father believes nothing but what he sees with his own eyes. If I stop now he will never see, and it will be within his power to stop me."

"I am sorry you cannot see it Shianna"

The chanting resumes

"Kyras, don't do this!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The chanting stops.

Shianna slumps against the door.

Clunk

The deadbolt is slid back

The door opens

"Hello, Shianna."

The woman standing behind Kyras wears only simple clothing, her skin unearthly white, her hair totally black.

"Trust me sister, this is for the best..."

...After the ritual his father kept his word, silently banishing Kyras and forbidding him contact with Shianna. Kyras was left with the clothes on his back, and the signet on his finger.

More than this, the ritual was not a success. The Eidolon was, simply, lesser, barely appearing more than mortal. It's heightened perceptions a pale reflection of the Erinyes ability to see the truth. It's strength similarly unremarkable, oddly it could will it's nails into a weapon of it's own. But, while a shadow of the true devil. The Eidolon still represented a significant power, and Kyras's only remaining ally.

Disappointed at her lack of power, Kyras was bound to her, and as his only ally, and an intelligent creature that bond became one of friendship. He no longer cares what she should have been, but would still like to see her grow.

It is to this end that Kyras has joined the pathfinders.

Upon hearing that Kyras had joined, Shianna broke her father's prohibition, and sought Kyras out, gifting him with the Deluxe Dungeoneering Kita set of fine tools for an explorer.

 

Kyras was in a shop, not a special shop really. It sold vegetables, and shopping for vegetables was a strangely cathartic upside of his banishment.

Kyras didn't feel the hand in his pocket... he didn't need to. The child turned around to flee with it's prize just as the alabaster hand closed around the child's wrist.

Mellisan knelt down to look the child in the eyes "You were not planning to steal from Kyras Montori now were you." She extends her other hand, placing it upturned beneath the child's imprisoned one. She looks pointedly at the hand, the purse drops from the child's hand, as Melissan gives the wrist a squeeze.

She releases. The child flees and Kyras comments, selecting a cabbage from the stack "You didn't need to scare the child's wits loose, you know." Melissan returns the coin purse to Kyras "But I will admit, it was just a little bit amusing.".
