He is rather on the tall side, and actually fairly athletic, though his form is generally concealed under layer of jacket and shirts bearing doom metal album covers. He's scruffy and awkward, but when he is using his magic, his posture and way of carrying himself seems to immediately change into something quick, confident and decisive. An experiment gone wrong a year or so ago ended up scorching off Cy's fingerprints. He's not totally unhappy about the loss.[/indent] [b]Personality[/b]: [indent] Cyrus is known for being, at best, kinda serious. The young man is surly, and humorless, tending to alienate most people he encounters. Neither him nor his sister have the greatest respect for convention, and the young sorcerer is a law unto himself in many ways. Fortunately, they have the sense not to push their boundaries too far, bur he tends to be off working on his own little projects, tinkering with grimoires or mixing up something unstable in the HQ basement. Despite this he can often be heard. Mostly arguing with his sister. Dinah tends to make a sport out of trying to wind her brother up, and they seem to communicate mostly in insults. Whilst they bicker almost constantly, Cyrus is extremely protective of his younger sister, and has both the attitude, and the necessary skills to threaten swift and terrible retribution to anyone who might hurt her, something she seems to regard as more an annoyance than any kind of protection from the world. The two are, despite this, very close and tend to know exactly what one another is thinking. Cyrus, while appearing rather antisocial, does care about those around him and wants to protect his group, he just hates having to admit to any form of affection. [/indent] [b]Skills:[/b] [indent] Magical Knowledge - Despite his young age, Cyrus seems to be in possession of an alarming amount of practical knowledge in black magic, both in casting it, and how to ward against its uses. He's very cagey about this however, and will only tend to openly cast when needs must. Divination Power - Cyrus has inherited a skill at divination from his father's side. Whether it's water, gold, or demons, he can usually construct something that'll seek it out. [/indent] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [indent]-Stubborn Independence - While he may be a trainee, Cyrus does not like to receive help. This tends to mean that he ends up digging himself into deeper trouble while attempting to get himself out of it. -Family Ties - Having lost much of his family, Cyrus is very preoccupied with concerns about something happening to his younger sister, and this persists even though their antagonism. Threats to her are one of the easy ways to get to him. [/indent] [b]Brief History:[/b][indent] The Fox siblings descend from a long line of magic-users on both sides of their family. On their mother's side European ritualists all the way back to Celtic Britain, and on their father's side was a bloodline of Algonquin diviners. Cyrus' pedigree was pretty impressive. So, how was it that SCION came to find a young Cyrus and his sister living alone in the wilds of rural Wyoming? The return to the Fox farmhouse to investigate was something that the agents investigating have never repeated to other staff. Whether it was classified or just something they never wanted to relay was up for debate. It was speculated, though not confirmed as the children had confusing accounts about what took place in the house, that Morgana Fox's ritual research had summoned up...something that had been the Fox family's ultimate downfall. The two siblings were adopted by Saffiya Elmessiri, one of the organisation's higher-ranking officers, and contemporary of Matthew and Morgana Fox, who hoped to honour their memory by giving the Fox children the best possible start in life. As such, for over ten years Cyrus has grown up around SCION, and started his training to become a researcher for the Blue Moon team at sixteen. Cyrus is undoubtedly an intelligent and talented young man... but his heart seems to be somewhere else much of the time. The shadow of his parents' fate has never quite left him and he still feels he has some bone to pick with the dark cosmic forces of the universe.[/indent]
