Phanny’s Fairies

RACE: Ice Fairy
GENDER: Male
AGE: Young Adult, 48
HEIGHT: 4’11”
HAIR COLOR: Particularly pale lavender
HAIR STYLE: Always messy, sticking out in random places and falling in his face; it’s naturally wavy and a bit on the longer side, just an inch or so above shoulder length.
EYE COLOR: Icy white, and filled with depth.
WING TINT AND SHAPE: Practically white with a glint of lavender, especially in certain light- and v shaped like all ice fairies, however they are a bit on the longer side and are notably slim.
UNIQUE PHYSICAL FEATURES: He’s thin and pale with plenty of freckles, and has a scar that goes across his left eyebrow and a scarred over cut through the side of his left ear- as for the size of his ears, they’re big, ending in long points, and sticking out a tad awkwardly off the sides of his face, and through his hair. Cypress is wide eyed, though they often look tired, has a pointy nose that’s a bit bigger than the average ice fairy, and his wings have more wear and tear than a fairy his age probably should.

All Cypress can tell you about himself is that he was born in Northfern, and grew up in an orphanage just off the coast of the island. He doesn’t know how he ended up there, or even who brought him there- all he was told was that he was left on the doorstep one morning, like a stork had simply flew him there. He always felt smaller than the other ice fairies, or maybe it was them making him feel that way.

Either way he never really fit in with the other children, although he was never sure why. Perhaps it was because he was a runt, or it might have been that he had never found himself drawn to social goings on from the start. Because of this he often would skip his classes in the orphanage and run off to the shores of the island, or the looming forests of evergreens, to escape the other fairies and learn from the land- the way nature intended, in his opinion.

He often got himself into trouble, while out exploring Northfern, and again when he’d return to the orphanage. However over the years he’d gotten better at sneaking about, and stopped getting caught as much by the time he was to leave. He probably wouldn’t have made it out of there when he did if they knew how much he still misbehaved; luckily though his mischievous antics never got him into any serious issues. While he made his way about the island growing up he focused on honing his only power, and thanks to that is more skilled with his ability for his age than one might expect.

He didn’t think he was missing out on anything in the classes at the orphanage that he couldn’t figure out on his own in the wilderness. The children back at the orphanage he’d always thought were boring or rude and so not worth his time, anyways. Eventually he left the orphanage early, and fulfilled his want to explore all of Aster that he could. He’s traveled and explored all of the main islands, but he’s always still on the move, and never stops discovering new things. Over the years he’s grown to calling himself a scientist of sorts, constantly doing research amongst the lands of Aster.

These days, he strives to enter the islands of Origin, and Caister, for the nature of the islands and the intrigue of the dragons are too great for his curious mind to resist...

Cypress comes off as a very cold shouldered fairy, but that’s just because his interests lie more in the flora and fauna of Aster then the other fairies who inhabit it. Socially he’s quite awkward, even if he wanted to talk to other fairies, he simply isn’t used to the interaction. He prefers to whisk around the more nature filled areas of land and study the animals, plants, and insects; as he’s aged, Cy has grown to keeping a journal by his side at all times, usually kept in a hip satchel on his right side. Despite not wanting to go to schooling at the orphanage when he was young, he loves to learn new things every day. So he’s taken to jotting notes down about all sorts of things he finds, and even sketching out particularly interesting creatures and plants.

He’s likely considered short tempered to many, and he can be, but that’s usually only when he has to deal with large crowds; like when taking the ferries across to other islands- and when he has to go into town to get new journals and pens, or other various necessities. His attitude does seem to have a mild exception to plant fairies, however, for they often peak his interest with their strikingly natural appearance. He loves to fly about most everywhere when he can, so it goes without saying Falkirk isn’t his favorite place to go, but it does offer the best in trade- so he goes when he needs to.

Because he has no job at the moment he doesn’t often travel into town anyway, but he’d rather live off the land when able. So he finds food in the forests and rivers when he can and sleeps wherever he’s at when he’s tired. He doesn’t bother to keep any proper schedule of sleeping at night or anything, because there’s all sorts of creatures and things to see under the cloak of stars. Cy is a very curious fairy when it comes down to it and his explorative side always gets the best of him.

All in all, cypress is not a bad guy, even though he might not be a very popular fairy. He definitely enjoys keeping to himself, and it has made him grow up to be a bit selfish. However, he’s also learning that the older he gets the more he’s having to interact with others. He knows he’s not the most approachable guy, and honestly he likes it that way- however he’s slowly beginning to learn just how to deal with others. And he doesn’t drink ale often but if he does, you’ll find he seems to be a lot more willing to open up.

/WARNING: MENTIONS OF VIOLENCE, CHILD NEGLECT, AND MURDER/

Cereus Williams was born in Falkirk, unto an unwed mother who hadn’t exactly decided to have a baby when she did. So with no help to care for her baby, and with no true desire to do it herself, Cereus had quite the lonesome childhood. His mother often left him at home from a very young age, since he could recall, in fact; her absences would last as long as a week sometimes, and she didn’t always make sure he had food when she would leave- either way, there was never enough to sufficiently feed a growing boy.

This way of living didn’t last long though, Cereus was 15 years old when he woke up one night to a loud noise within his home. He made the mistake of searching for the source, and found a stranger, some random Ice Fairy, attacking his mother in her own bedroom. Cereus, in transfixed horror, watched the man stab his mother to death with a blade. She wasn’t always there for him, but he most certainly still felt the devastation and heartache in watching the scene.

Tears were streaking down his cheeks, his little heart felt like it was about to rip out of his chest- and then the man cast his eyes on Cereus. In the moment he was petrified he was next, but all the man did was smile at him, standing over his mother’s lifeless body, covered in her blood. Then the man put his finger to his lips, shushed Cereus, and crept back out of the window he had broken into...

He waited in the house until morning, fearing he would run into the man if he went out too soon. He finally left and found help, and the authorities ended up putting him into the custody of a local orphanage. Even with the bit therapy he got while there, he was a disturbed child after his mother’s murder. To this day they’ve still never found the man who killed his mother, and this only furthered his disdain for others growing up.

He was a problem child, constantly starting fights in the orphanage, and was prone to fits of rage over the littlest things. He stole things from others, and often took to practicing his powers on the other children, or caretakers within the orphanage. It wasn’t long before he simply up and left, questioning why he was even there in the first place. He was pretty sure nobody bothered looking for him, he knew he was a nuisance to everyone there- he got a kick out of the thought, the older he got.

From the time he was 35 until more recent years, he slunk about the streets of the city, especially at night and took to grabbing what he could from vendors who hadn’t locked their things away well enough. He would grab food more often back then, however he’s grown to hunt more for the sake of staying out of sight; due to the fact that it got him caught once, and sentenced to three years in prison on Dalry because he obviously had more stolen goods on him than just from the one vendor they caught him at.

It wasn’t until quite a while later when he was 65, he was caught again- this time he ended up killing one of the guards that tried to detain him. This earned him a much larger sentence, and a worse attitude about the whole thing indefinitely. However he wasn’t about to stay there for long, and thanks to his time there prior he managed to charm a female guard enough to help him- it only took him two years to escape. He managed to get across the waters and to the shores of Easthallow, where he took a short period to recover in the safety of the wood.

While he was in Easthallow though, his old habits managed to tempt him once again- and he went for a gem shop within the city while he was passing by during the night. He was supposed to be silently making his way through the streets, but Cereus being the way he was just loved to temp fate. He managed to grab the gems and was even leaving the scene when a group of guards who had just gotten off duty, and were headed back to the station to make their nightly reports, happened to spot him.

This was a particularly hateful group of guards, so when they managed to catch Cereus, one of the guards- an Ice Fairy who had obviously been drinking while on duty- recognized him. He was pissed off because Cereus wouldn’t stop fighting them, and spitting out insults; it didn’t take long for the Ice Fairy to get the other three guards to hold the Sun Fairy while he finally got to hit him like he wanted to.

Cereus, who was still struggling to free himself, managed to kick the guard in the stomach, but this only made the ones who had a hold on him tighten their grasp. At this point, the other fairy was red in the face. More than anything, he thought, he was just angry the Sun Fairy had embarrassed him in front of his buddies. Either way, the guard told them to turn him around, and it was then he said;

“So you like killing guards, Ey, you son of a bitch?” He grabbed Cereus’ wings roughly, “Well how do you like this?” Then he took out his sword, and hacked Cereus’ wings off.

Through the pain of the attack he was able to catch the three who were holding him on fire, and slip into an alleyway, where he tricked the other fairy into thinking he was headed the opposite direction. He managed slip away from them after that, but the damage had already been done.

Shortly after this incident, he took a ferry to Kelna, and has been living there ever since; attempting to lay low, he’s been shacking up in the many runes there are to find within the dessert-like island. He can still find some treasures there as well, but he’s much more cautious not to be seen in public without wearing some sort of cover- he swears he’ll kill everyone in his way before he lets himself get caught again, or die trying...

Cereus is an asshole, to put it simply; he’s callus to those who might try to speak to him, let alone befriend him. Though it isn’t likely that many would want to, seeing as his immediate demeanor comes off as angry and deterring to most. Don’t let him fool you, because like any human he still has his more raw emotions of embarrassment, fear and anguish- however he is determined not to let those parts of himself see the light of day.

He is quite prone to fits of anger, usually over insignificant or stupid things- really anything could be a trigger to his rage, it just depends on how his current mood is, most times. He has a bad attitude in general, usually seeing the glass as half empty, instead of half full. He has a bad tendency to get violent when he’s truly enraged, however he may also react to certain situations unexpectedly; he is quite mentally unstable, after all. The years have worn on his soul and turned him into a very bitter fairy in general, however he has his moments of feeling on top of the world, so to speak; usually when he pulls off a heist, or is on top of a lady~

Due to his past, Cereus is rather racist towards Ice Fairies, but thankfully there aren’t many in Klena, anyways- just another reason for him moving there. Also he is an extremely paranoid fairy thanks to his past as well- he his highly untrusting, and feels like there’s always someone looking for or watching him. He has little to no remorse for most all of his wrongdoings, so one must be mindful of this unhinged characteristic of his, if they’re aware of it, that is. He enjoys drinking, and so long as he’s in a good mood while he does it you should be alright- but if he’s in a bad mood and drinks, let’s just say you might wanna watch out.

Cereus has quite the twisted sense of humor, so he tends to laugh at many things pertaining to more disturbed or inappropriate subjects. He is very sly though, eerily enough, and can be quite charming to a woman when he wants to be. Consider yourself lucky if you are a girl around him, because then you have more of a chance of being hit on, rather than punched in the face, for real. So, to sum Cereus up in one sentence, he’s just a fiery Fairy who’s bridges were burned before he even had the chance to walk upon them...
