[color=662d91][b]Name:[/b][/color] Kyros

[color=662d91][b]Epithets:[/b][/color] Trueshot, the Archer, the Swift, the Hunter, the Healer

[color=662d91][b]Age:[/b][/color] Early 20s

[color=662d91][b]Gender:[/b][/color]  Male

[color=662d91][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Kyros stands just above average height with long unkempt brown hair and piercing blue-gray eyes. His beard is thin and wispy in places. The Achaeanian has a thin build without the encumbrance of musculature found on larger men. Kyros is built for speed and endurance rather than the hard work of brawny men. His armor is primarily leather with a fastened bronze breast plate and small bronze and leather vambraces.

[color=662d91][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Kyros has a multi-faceted personality. He has a good sense of humor; he enjoys the outdoors, prefers wine, women and song to all other pursuits, but can be stricken with depression for unknown reasons. Maybe he is seeking approval from others, but frequently attempts to make light of any situation by injecting a humorous quip. Occasionally, he gets it right, but more often than not, leaves folks groaning. When Kyros is in nature, he is most at home. [i]Do not trap me in some house or city. I can only be free when running through the forest.[/i] Kyros is invigorated, filled with energy when he attends a festive symposium or even more so a Bacchanalian orgy. They really get his juices flowing. He becomes intoxicated quickly and can be the life of the party. Sex, drinking and singing songs are of great interest for Kyros. As the saying goes, those things that go up, must come down, so does Kyros. He spends much time high on life; king of the world. As a result, the natural course is for him to fall into a pit of depression where he becomes sullen. It is best that he be left alone when he gets into these moods as he may strike out at anyone, even allies if taunted unnecessarily. When Kyros fights, he is all in. He holds nothing back, engaging in combat with the same zest for life that he puts into symposiums and orgies.

[color=662d91][b]Bio:[/b][/color] Kyros is a native Trojan growing up during the time of Priam. Kyros was the seventh son of Nicanor, who was the seventh son of Theophanes, who was the son of the God Apollo. Nicanor and Kyros' six older brothers were all killed during the Siege of Troy. Theophanes died over a decade earlier and all but three of Kyros' uncles perished before or during the Siege of Troy. The three remaining uncles, Xenon, Pantaleon and Iason have all fled the city after the fall of Troy, whereabouts unknown.

Kyros was always the fastest boy among his circle of friends. The young Achaeans challenged one another at foot races and other games mocking combat. As a young man, Kyros identified his own abilities with the bow. He enjoyed the weapon's finesse, excelling at its use. He practiced regularly, improving his speed and agility. He could fire from horseback, accurately. He could draw, aim, fire and redraw faster than anyone he knew; pride filled his heart at his own skill. 

As the boy grew into a teen, he discovered a knack for healing. He was fascinated with new discoveries in the healing arts, learning how to care for a fractured limb or open wound. He knew which recipes worked best for preventing an infection and helping to preserve a limb that would otherwise be dismembered if left to fester. Eventually, he discovered he could heal a man with just his hands. It was an exhausting effort, but by touching another person infected with some illness, disease or malady, the unhealthy element would be cleansed from the host body and transfer into Kyros, weakening him. With rest, Kyros would then fight off the malady, returned to fighting shape.

As Kyros grew into a young man, he honed his archery skills, earning his moniker of Trueshot. He hunted with his brothers in the forests and always brought back game for a feast. He ran faster than any of his brothers even though he was the youngest and always had a pleasant disposition. On those occasions when things did not go well for him, or in those rare moments when nothing bad happened at all, he would fall into a fit of despair and remove himself from society. 

During his bouts with depression, Kyros preferred to wander in the forest with no real purpose, but simply to think about those things in his life that were troubling him. This inward reflection helped him to resolve any issues he may have. Often times, he did not know what was his problem, just that he felt bad. It may have been a reflection of his otherwise cheery and upbeat disposition.

After the fall of Troy, Kyros joined a group planning to leave the city and make a life somewhere safe, away from the Greeks who destroyed their beautiful city. Since their departure, Kyros has fallen into a pit of despair over the loss of his brothers, father and mother. He serves his new found brothers and sisters, seeking to overcome any evil that may plague the group. He is silent for now. Eventually, when the gray cloud lifts from his shoulders, hopefully the sun will shine once again and Kyros' mood will return to pleasant.

[color=662d91][b]Skills:[/b][/color] Kyros is skilled in the bow, but can fight with a spear, Gladius, shield or his hands and feet if necessary. He has skills in medicine, binding wounds, repairing injuries and healing, which fortify his gift from the Gods. Kyros has an excellent singing voice, pleasing to listen to. He cannot sing when he is in his depression, but enjoys it thoroughly when in a good mood.

[color=662d91][b]Greatest Strength:[/b][/color] Kyros is an excellent archer, gifted from Apollo, who happens to be his great grandfather. He is fleet of foot, possibly another residual gift from Apollo. As the seventh son of the seventh son, Kyros has special healing ability, which allows him to heal wounds by touch. He cannot raise the dead.

[color=662d91][b]Greatest Flaw:[/b][/color] Kyros enjoys a vivacious party and loves to get loud and boisterous. He enjoys wine, women and song making him something of a philanderer. But like any roller coaster, what goes up, must come down. Often times after a night of revelry, he falls into pits of depression. He can be the most moody of sorts to deal with. Sometimes his depression can lead to apathy and self doubt, putting himself and others at risk.[/hider]
