@Inkarnate Is that a "go post it in the Char tab"? Because that's what I'm taking it as. Just so you know.

V I S A G EKenji is rather short, much like his avatar in Pariah, standing at five foot and six inches, weighing around a hundred and thirty-five pounds. Kenji has a soft complexion, toned muscles and only some muscle mass to add to his masculinity. He generally is seen with a poor posture and baggy clothing since he doesn't know how to shop for himself, nor does he care. His Pariah avatar resembles much of himself, but also the added bonuses of what he wanted to change in his look. Cyrus takes on a similar height and stature, though his silver, shining armor lays atop a black, sleek uniform that actually fits and he has piercing blue eyes opposed to his natural brown eyes. Cyrus' hair is a few shades lighter, but the rest of his look is the same as Kenji. Cyrus can be seen with his favored weapon type, the rapier, commonly exercising his favored style of fighting: fencing. Cyrus resembles an agile warrior, being light on his feet, and never truly eye-level to the majority of his opponents.
P E R S O N A L I T YThough it is common for a guy of his height to take on a more fragile and timid personality, that assumption and stereotype does not fit Kenji. He is hot-headed and has a bad temper, resulting in his very irritable nature. Kenji has taken on many of the 'bad boy' traits from surrounding himself with people alike when he grew up -- lighting his first cigarette at the age of 14, getting his first tattoo at 16, not remembering when he lost his virginity or to whom it was, and acquiring a fake I.D. to properly experience the night-life of Tokyo. Although Kenji has few friends, he will go to great lengths to make sure his friends are supported and safe, being quite the protector for those that he cares about, regardless of how small that list of people is. Moreover, Kenji isn't the type to go out of his way to make friends, nor is he good at befriending others due to his personality clashing with many. In the end, Cyrus is an accurate character and avatar to personify the player that controls him.
B A C K G R O U N DJust outside the crowded, congested, and busy streets of Tokyo, Japan lies a small sub-city that caters to many wealthy citizens, whether it be actors, pop-stars, business-owners, or high-ranking political men. Large mansions lie spaced out in calm, safe, and well-kept neighborhoods, but just past a few expensive mansions, around the corner of small businesses, lies an apartment complex that never got it's renovations. The old complex has many units, but one in particular houses a few too many individuals, making for a crowded place that Kenji calls 'home'. Growing up, Kenji was strongly influence by his dad, his cousins, and his sister, taking on similar traits and outlooks that they all had. Kenji was the youngest of three: two boys, and one girl. The house was constantly bumping music, but not the kind you would hear at the coffee shop, or even at your favorite rave, but instead the dark, thrashing sounds of the gothic and aggressive head-banging community -- metal music. This would normally be paired with the banging on their door from angry neighbors requesting for some peace and quiet, but it would take a long time before they would actually notice that it wasn't apart of the music. Kenji shared the love for this music much like his cousins and their band that they formed, and Kenji's father who manages them. Although Kenji partakes in wrong and bad decisions, it doesn't stem from an abusive household or the lack of a loving family, but rather the care-free, nonchalant attitude that he established. Kenji is close to his family that he lives with, sharing a small room with his brother that's across the hall from a room that all four of his cousin's share. He's also very protective over them, confronting those that threaten or ridicule them, but not having enough self-worth to defend himself when he's being verbally attacked, instead his thick skin leaves him unaffected by words.
Despite Kenji and his family having shared hobbies and activities, his brother was strict and hard on himself about schooling, resulting in graduating at the top of his class and being rewarded with his bachelor's degree at a very young age. Kenji looked up to his efforts and his dedication, but could never truly pick up anything to be passionate about like the rest of his family. With this feeling of being unmotivated, he struggled to find any passion to attempt to turn into a career after high school. Kenji had the odd, but somewhat common case of not knowing what he wanted in life or where he wanted to go, leaving his future to be determined by the randomness of life. It was soon after that he decided to get a a job at the local restaurant, being a dishwasher to the many rich patrons they served and raising money for something that he'd hopefully want aside from cigarettes, candy, soda, etc.
Kenji then stumbled across Pariah, a game in which he could create an avatar much like himself, but partake in a world full of more possibilities. This finally surfaced a feeling of desire, investing in strong wi-fi and the game itself, seeking to build a character to his liking no matter what it costed. After some gameplay, Kenji began to change his personality from the influence of the game, finding content in working and coming home to play in an alternate world as his new identity of Cyrus; the name being inspired by an alternative metal singer that Kenji admired so. His family were used to his introverted personality, but his absence due to his new-found hobby of gaming made them miss his care-free presence and his participation in concerts and other events that he joined in on. Kenji struggles to find a balance between his real life and his fantasy life.A T T R I B U T E S

R O U G H V I R T U A L H I S T O R YCyrus' beginning was much like the player who is in control of him, uneventful, observant, and lost. Cyrus roamed throughout the lands of his chosen Pathos, learning about the ways of the Draethir and the common traits of the people who supported the faction. It wasn't long before Cyrus built a hobby of traveling, taking on the enjoyable fencing fighting style and pursuing herbalism to gather all sorts of herbs during his journeys. He would occasionally take up a few mercenary-seeking quests for extra coin if his herbalism trading was lacking, and frequently would join in on raids and dungeons for the sake of exploring and fighting more challenging opponents.
Cyrus was never a recognizable individual since he never really stays in the same place for a long period of time, and he has no well-known talents to be revered for. The simplicity of his virtual life was just that, save for his great swordsmanship and astonishing battle prowess. He is best known by alchemists for his nice stock of herbs to purchase, leaving him with few friends and concise in-game relationships.
Cyrus chooses to not become bound to any particular raid group or party, feeling as if he would not be able to hold the obligation of attending every event. Thus, the only characteristics that the player base would associate with Cyrus is that he's quiet, not talkative, and unreadable.
So I'm super interested in this!! I'm hoping there's still a spot available~! I probably shouldn't have gone ahead of myself and assumed there was, but it was fun to make the character anyhow!
Let me know if I should change anything! I was unsure about the domain part.
Thinking I’ll lock it down to Innue, Catcha, and Lionhearted in terms of new players. I’ll let you three know how acceptance goes once I get my dedicated players all sorted.
