Cyrus Milil Wresch is an Aasimar living on the Isle of Norn.

Appearance

Cyrus is 5'8", with white hair and golden eyes characteristic of Aasimar. His skin is light but tanned. He dresses casually, usually with a letterman or jean jacket. He wears cowboy boots on his missions to Varmitville, and sometimes elsewhere for "special occasions".

Early Life

Cyrus was born in Highacre, but his parents moved to Weehollow when he was less than two years old. His mom’s name is Delilah Gilpenny, and his dad’s name is Grant Wren. Wresch was chosen to be the family’s last name as a variation on Wren, and because both parents liked it better than Gilpenny (not because of a patriarchal lineage). His parents worked as plant researchers in Highacre before they moved to Weehollow with their young family for better schools. They researched magical and non-magical plant morphology at the Arcane Biology Center (ABC), Highacre Campus. The ABC also partners occasionally with other research institutions in the area, including the Charborough Institute for Arcanomechanobiological Advancement. His parents’ contacts and research associates were how he eventually ended up with his weapon of choice, an "Electromagnetic Dissipator (Beta Prototype)," before the project was cut for funds.

He has an older brother named Silas Wresch, and a younger sister named Grimme Wresch. He gets along just about average with his family, with slightly more communication with his siblings than his parents. Both his siblings are Aasimar, while both his parents are human. The family believes the Aasimar traits were buried in the ancestral line somewhere, though haven’t really looked into it.

Cyrus knows most of his good friends to this day from high school and college. His closest friend is Yander Hartfield. Other close friends of his include Ilmena Spool, Archie Lowry, and Pillip Renner. Cyrus attended Weehollow Academy, and was generally liked though not super popular or well-known. He started a meme account that he continues to this day for a small group of friends (@vanoktus_deeznuts on LeyLife). All of these friends and he went to Hollow University, content to get their higher education, but not necessarily expecting to make names for themselves.

Cyrus dislikes the champion competition system for its glorified use of violence, and general instability. His goal (besides bestowing the small amount of justice that comes from bounty hunting) is to become a champion to start instituting changes to the system, or at least get a big enough platform that he could start to get awareness to changing the system. He tries to bring about change diplomatically and sensibly, though will use violence or chaos if he deems it necessary. He also wants to continue to meet people around the continent, possibly uniting the different cities in camaraderie, as he loves building community. He also would like to know more about his Aasimar heritage, and learn to apply his principles of living without being so uptight about it.

Cyrus currently works at OrcDash in customer service. Even though he doesn’t like speaking over the phone to dozens of random complaining customers a day, he is cool-tempered which automatically makes him good at the job. He lives in a small apartment on the ground floor of a nondescript apartment building near the border of Charborough and Varmitville, in the neighborhood of Shard. This location is key, as in his spare time he takes jobs as a bounty hunter (and other odd jobs–information gathering, locating stolen objects, etc.) in Varmitville for individuals in either city. These employers usually are from the underground, but enough barkeepers in Varmitville have seen him around that they can ask for more mundane jobs. One of these who he keeps semi-regular contact with is [DM Discretion].

Cyrus’s most likely haunt in Varmitville is a saloon named The Lazy Stirge, in northern Varmitville. While not the most popular bar, it has enough people to allow him to blend in and connect with some of the regulars, either in the bar or in the back alley for more secretive deals. His favorite drink is their “homemade” Fireball Sarsaparilla (named after Fireball the spell, not Fireball the whiskey).

Cyrus is bisexual, and has shown passing interest in various crushes.

Challenge Attempts

Cyrus was motivated to join the champion challenge after a frightening encounter with Arthur Emeric in 100 AL, alongside Annalie Wildflower and SCSI Sataella. Arthur alluded to corruption in the Champion Challenge, which Cyrus hopes to bring to light and rid from Norn. Cyrus hopes to challenge Icarus Finch in Paradeisos to gain access to celestial lord abilities, which would align with his species's celestial ties.

Cyrus challenged Krystal Kallure in her last challenge as sitting champion in Keu. He was eliminated in the first round, after not being charismatic enough to sell weight-alleviating armor to a group of potential investors. Cyrus's second champion challenge was against Maxie Tallowtwitch in Mas'o Leem, where he completed 4 out of the 5 entry stages before failing to advance to the final combat stage against Maxie.
