[b][color=violet]What is your name? Do you have any nicknames? Please include them.[/color][/b]
My name is Cynder Rosalinda La Eckhart. Or just "Cynder" because that's what everyone else calls me.

[b][color=violet]What is your gender?[/color][/b]
I'm a female.

[b][color=violet]How old are you?[/color][/b]
I just turned eighteen about two months ago. 

[b][color=violet]What species are you? Please include details about said species.[/color][/b]
I'm a Beastman descended from a deer tribe. This basically means I have the traits of both humans and deer which would probably explain the antlers, right? Anyway, as a result of my unique lineage, I also have night vision and heightened senses that really only effect my hearing and scent. My eyesight is absolutely atrocious. 

[b][color=violet]What abilities and powers do you have? Do you have any expertise or “special skills”? Please include them.[/color][/b]
As previously mentioned, I have night vision and certain heightened senses. Not previously mentioned, I also have the ability to transform into a deer. How exciting! [i]Not really.[/i] Unlike the other members of OldFucks, I don't have any extremely unique or unusual abilities. Or perhaps I do, I just don't use it in fear of becoming [u]too much[/u] like them. Racial aspects and OldFucks aside, my specialty is magic. Or more specifically, healing magic. I'm also pretty good with ice and water magic and can technically cast basic spells involving fire, air and earth, but I'm the equivalent of actual garbage when it comes to casting the last three. Aside from the heavy focus on magic, I have an ability known as "teleport dash" or "flash step" - it's exactly what it sounds like. And it also makes me look like a shitty anime OC. Oh! And I'm also pretty good at chemistry, but I don't see how that could ever be considered useful while fighting robots. 

[b][color=violet]Are you skilled in certain types of combat? What type of weapon do you typically wield?[/color][/b]
I've taken some classes in the human sport known as "Jiu Jitsu", but I hardly use it in combat. Honestly, it would be pretty awesome if I could use any of the human or Beastman fighting styles, but the fact of the matter is that I'm too weak to rely on my body in combat. I've always really admired people who could, but that person isn't me. Predictably so, I rely on my weapon, my baby - "Ted Cruz" or just "Cruz". Cruz is what you might refer to as a "HVRL" or "high-velocity rifle lance". 

Cruz is exactly what he sounds like - a rifle that doubles as a lance. And the "high velocity" part comes from the fact that he also doubles as a javelin! Which. . would actually be really cool if I didn't have to retrieve him every time. Because Cruz is a fairly recent model, he can fold in all different directions and can condense into a little metal block that rests comfortably on my back for whenever I'm not actively using him. But, yeah, Ted Cruz is [s]the Zodiac Killer[/s] my baby. So. Yeah. [i]Don't touch.[/i]

[b][color=violet]What equipment do you typically carry into battle? Or feel comfortable carrying into battle?[/color][/b]
Aside from Ted Cruz, I only bring equipment that can fit into my backpack. I usually carry the following:[/center]
[list]
[*]A spellbook (to aid me with casting earth, fire and air spells).  
[*]Any essentials (rations, canteen, bandages, map, etc).  
[*]As much hot chocolate as I can find.
[*]A pair of binoculars.
[*]My journal. 
[*]A camera.
[/list]

[center][b][color=violet]Are you affiliated with any other organization? If so, please say who and your rank.[/color][/b]
I'm technically a member of OldFucks, even though I actively ignore them. As far as I know, OldFucks doesn't have any ranks. 

[b][color=violet]Where in Guild City are you from?[/color][/b]
I was born in Free, but I made a life for myself in Casual. 

[b][color=violet]What has your life been like so far?[/color][/b]
My life hasn't had any moments of exact excitement with the exception of Guildfall and the success of The Great Revival. A lot of my life consisted of moving around between Free and Casual so I've made friends and enemies in both sectors - I was born in Free, but have made a life for myself in Casual as previously mentioned. For a while, I felt discriminated against and generally "not good enough" for Casual and ended up in Free until recently. It wasn't because of my species as Beastman are fairly common - especially females that have descended from Cat tribes - n, it was because of the quality of my work, which would improve in later years.

It's embarrassing to admit, but there was also a period in my life when I felt a bit wild and would sneak into Spam during the late nights, but I never did anything and nobody ever saw me. Aside from that, a lot of my life has been (regretfully) spent alongside the OldFucks, though they're not [i]always[/i] terrible. And now, I'll presumably be spending a lot of my life fighting robots. I try to be a little optimistic about these type of things, so, hopefully, it'll spice up my life experiences a little more.


[b][color=violet]Would you like to include any additional information that we may have missed?[/color][/b]
There are two things in this world that I don't trust: Lowes and anyone who carries coffee into battle.
