Age: 19
Sex: Male
Appearance: Cináed's angelic heritage shows through his warm golden eyes and his blemish-free fair features. He is slight of build and height, and combined with his boyish, slightly effeminate looks he cuts anything but an imposing figure. His hair is a light blonde as golden as his eyes, and usually falls in a tousle of untamed locks kept loosely at bay by infrequent trims.
Background Choice: Royal Loyalist
Motivation: Cináed was raised on a wealth of stories about the legendary fallen kingdom. Growing up in a small village named Elor, nestled in the heart of the Renaltan Remnants, his parents often told him tales of 'better times', as their parents had before them, and their parents before them. The stories have captured his imagination, and he longs to see those glory days return - to see an end to the constant fear of raiders, and a better life for his friends and family. When he heard whispers of King's Rangers passing through a nearby town, he dropped everything to seek them out with reckless abandon and join their cause.
Biography: Elor is a quiet, sleepy village in the Renaltan Remnants, that sees little in the way of regular excitement or trouble. The threat of orc or bandit raids is ever-present, but the village is often overlooked in favour of more prosperous targets.
Cináed was born to a farmer and his second wife, and has four half-siblings born to the farmer's first - now passed to illness. Where his elder brothers worked the fields, and his sister tended the house, Cináed's angelic talents had laid him a different path. Unduly favoured by both his parents, and as such the subject of some resentment from his siblings, Cináed did not toil as they did. Instead, he stayed at his mother's side and learned to command the arts of his heritage - to heal, first and foremost, but also to command fire.
His and his mother's presence was a well-guarded secret, for the presence of angel-touched healers would surely have marked Elor as a target for raiders were word of it to spread. When travellers passed through, they stayed within the farmhouse safe from prying eyes, no matter how Cináed longed to learn of the world beyond his sleepy home from them. Several times he snuck out to eavesdrop on the tales told to the village's other youths, and several times he came close enough to discovery to earn a fierce chiding.
Now passing into adulthood, Cináed's longing to fly the nest and cease hiding from the world had never been greater, when rumours of King's Rangers passing through a nearby town reached his ear. Fierce in his resolve, he bid an emotional farewell to his family despite their protests, took up an old sword he scarcely knew how to use, and set out to forge his destiny - to create his own stories.
Strengths:
- Healing - Cináed's greatest talent is in healing, both magical and mundane. Taught from a young age by his mother, he knows how to set bones, stitch wounds, create poultices and medicines, and more, as well as possessing knowledge of a wide variety of herbs. Where that fails - or where it is impractical - he can turn to his angelic powers instead. His healing abilities are potent but draining, and can treat physical injury, disease, and even curses/magical afflictions.
- Pyromancy - The second of the magics granted to him by his angelic heritage, Cináed is far less practised with this art, but not entirely incapable. He is able to produce small to moderate balls and jets of flame for use in combat, but as of yet falls short of the more devastating conflagrations an arcane spellcaster might be able to produce. He is, however, far more practised than most wizards in creating cooking fires and sterilising needles. So he's got that going for him, which is nice. A side-effect of this ability is that he is both largely immune to being burned, and he never gets cold. Indeed, his body holds a preternatural warmth to it. Though he is unaware of this due to his lack of combat experience, Cináed's fire is particularly effective against demonic, undead or other "foes of the gods" that his angelic heritage would deem "impure".
- Resolve - Despite his inexperience, Cináed has passion and willpower in abundance. It will take a lot to truly break him, or to tempt him to give in, even though he seems outwardly vulnerable to hardship.
- Charisma - In part owed to his angelic heritage, and in part simply who he is, Cináed is very easy to like and even easier to trust. He projects an aura of kindness and compassion in an almost literal sense, and both people and animals find themselves at ease in his company.
Weaknesses:
- Physical Weakness - Whilst not unfit, Cináed has far from a strong build.
- Inexperience - Cináed has never taken a life, nor had his truly threatened, and has barely spent more than a week on the road. Though he carries a sword, the extent of his skill manifests in being roughly more likely to injure an enemy with it than himself. He's hunted small game before, but has been known to feel too sorry for the animals to actually kill them.
- Naivety - Having seen little in the way of the darker side of humanity, Cináed is trusting and compassionate to a fault. He will always attempt to see the good in people, and balk at 'necessary' killings, or the rhetoric of "the ends justify the means.
