Name: Cynthia Blackburn

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Personality: Cynical, though will accept to aid others if it doesn't create too much of a distraction from her own goals. She is fairly quiet, though also has a fierce side that is rarely seen. When it shows...well, you better hope you're not the one on the receiving end of her wrath... Oh, and she also might be slightly delirious, though it could just be classified as insanity in general.

Bio: Cynthia is from a race of humans who have been all but nearly left extinct in recent years, due to genetic wipeout as they've been unintentionally "breed out" of their original and true selves, leaving behind only a handful of full-breeds. Cynthia just so happens to be one such full-breed, having both mother and father of the same race. These people are typically referred to as "Darkner's".

Cynthia started out life as a young lass in the slave trade. Her birth was noticed by the noble her mother and father worked for, and she was sent to auction immediately. However, due to her being so young, she would cost more than she was worth, and nobody bought her. Eventually, the noble settled on letting Cynthia's parents keep her and raise her for the time being, though they had to accommodate for Cynthia's goods and services, as she wasn't working...

Cynthia's younger life was harsh. Her bed was a small stack of hay out in the barn, since she wasn't allowed to sleep in the house; the best thing she ever ate as a child was a steak, which she stole and was caught, being severely punished for it - her usual meals consisted of whatever her parents could lay their hands on, often creating a broth or soup; and her best friend was imaginary, as everyone in reality, aside from her parents, were hateful towards her, leading towards more childhood trauma. However, that wasn't the worst of it...

Things really started taking a turn for the worst by the time she hit 7. By now she had to work daily to, quote-on-quote, "complete her end of the deal"; would get constantly beaten and bullied by both adults and children alike; development of delirium ensued as she became closed from the rest of the world; her mother died of starvation; and, last but not least, she killed a boy in a fit of rage...

At age 14 Cynthia began to retaliate. She learnt how to fight, both mentally and physically, her delirium began to die down a little, she got some sympathy from the nobleman due to her mothers death, and learnt about The Crimson Gales. This was also the time she began to develop a more self-centered personality, caring less and less about others and becoming more cynical on life.

However, it was a week before her seventeenth birthday when her father proposed to Cynthia a way out. She though that he was going to buy her out of the industry, but the truth of the matter was that he was going to smuggle her out. The plan he devised was going smoothly, though it was at the final stage where they messed up. The nobleman spotted the two trying to sneak out and immediately called the guards. Her father murdered the "nobleman" right then and there, and ordered Cynthia to escape whilst she still could, leaving her with one final plea:

"Stay safe and bring justice..."

It wasn't until a month or two later that Cynthia was asked to join the Crimson Gales'. But when it did, she felt the need to join, as if those were the true meaning behind her fathers final words...

[hider=Darkner Information]They were typically referred to amongst other races and species as "Darkners", due to every single one of them having black hair and eyes, as well as the fact they preferred night over day. The Darkners are typically seen as a slave race, and don't have a good reputation amongst fellow humans, as most interpret them as shifty due to their preferred time-of-day. In fact they're quite the opposite, as most of which are friendly and honest. That doesn't help others from making white-lies, though. They're commonly insulted racially in public, too, and are rumoured to be one of the reasons as to The Crimson Gale's creation.[/hider]

Other: Hope you don't really mind me making the Darkners' :P
