His legs are strong enough to hold him over the sea on long travels but is only capable of running short distances. [b][color=pink]Eyes:[/color][/b] Deep green with flecks of a light brown, shines in the sunlight to give them a golden colour [b][color=pink]Hair:[/color][/b] Blonde [b][color=pink]Skin Tone:[/color][/b] White with olive undertones; tans easily. [b][color=pink]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] Long scar across right pectoral; Scared and dry hands; Burn markings anterior forearms; Right ear pierced with an emerald inlaid in silver. [b][color=pink]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Often found wearing a woven, navy blue tunic with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and dark brown, leather vest to keep uniformed and fitted. Wears a simple belt of same colour to his vest, with notches for a couple knives. Wears black linen for pants and sheep lined shoes he made himself; gets hot in the summertime but doesn't have anything else. When hunting or traveling in addition to the knife belt he wears a quiver strapped across his back. During the winter months he’ll layer up with animal furs. Cuyler generally keeps the hair on the sides of his head trimmed down, along with the sideburns. The rest of his hair is kept pinned back with a strip of leather, helping him to blend in to the woods surrounding. Recently he has started to grow a bit of a beard but confesses he is a bit a neat freak and keeps it trimmed at all times, despite living in the wilds.

Tragedy struck him a few years back and he prefers his own company on most days, although he still enjoys going into market to trade and catch up on the latest news. This idea of being on one’s own though has its complications and makes one more of a target, especially with his size. When he goes to the Small Wet Country for the Trader’s Market he almost always ends up in several fights now. Cuyler is calculating. He doesn’t do anything without thinking it through, weighing all the options and always makes sure he has a backup and a get away option. If it involves something of his family's tragedy though, you can guarantee Cuyler will follow his heart before his head. But he isn’t always so quiet. He enjoys drink as much as the next male and will charm his way into anything if he sees an opening. With a smile he inherited from his mother and the whimsical look he gets in his eye, you can always bet he is up to something. [b][color=pink]Habits:[/color][/b] Picks underneath fingernails with his knife; His shirt sleeves have to be folded four times on each side and he generally fixes these twice a day. Every morning he checks that he is still wearing his necklace and when he is thinking about his neck move or before going on a hunt he can be found constantly touching the place where the ring lies.

The skill came naturally to Cuyler and at a young age he was often found at his father’s heel with a knife and chunk of wood trying to carve designs; hence the many scars on his hands. Hunting is a skill all Northern Traders must be accustomed to in order to survive the long journeys and keep their families alive. [b][color=pink]General History:[/color][/b] Son to Eystein, a carpenter by trade and Hilda an exceptional homemaker, cloth weaver and star reader. When Cuyler was born to Eystein, his fate was set and he was molded to take over his father’s craft. Lucky for both of them, Cuyler had a raw talent for it. While Cuyler enjoyed his father’s craft immensely he was also found begging his mother for tales of the stars and stayed up most nights with his mother to learn the positions of the stars and what each start meant in relation to its position. Four years later Cuyler was no longer the baby of the family and he welcomed his baby sister Brenna, with open arms and a few short tempered looks. Life continued on and Cuyler became more involved with his father’s work, going over to his first Trader’s Market when he was six and brought back sweets for his sister. They were inseparable most days and Cuyler was her fierce protector. When Cuyler was fourteen and Brenna only ten, tragedy struck. Their village in the Land of Long Nights was attacked. Earlier that day Cuyler and Brenna had a rare fight, where Brenna ended up storming off and Cuyler went back to his work. Upon the attack Cuyler was in a panic, he hadn’t seen Brenna in hours. Despite Cuyler’s protest’s, Eystein valliantly went out to find his daughter, leaving Cuyler to care for his mother. The fighting drew closer to their hideout and Cuyler decided the best way to protect was to fight. Cuyler would soon realize that his rash thinking would be a mistake. Death was all over the village and in the distance he heard a high pitch scream which could only be that of his sister’s. With his distraction he was knocked unconscious. His mother was then raped and taken by the raiders, never to be seen again. When Cuyler came to, blood soaked the ground around him and no one was left alive. Cuyler wandered the battlefield until he came to two bodies that looked to familiar for comfort. For a day Cuyler knelt at the feet of his father and sister, praying and asking for forgiveness. He made a vow then to find the raiders who did this, who wielded strength and Magyk no single man should have. Cuyler believe Magyk should have its limitations. He rose then after to formulate a plan and out of the shadows came a dog, local to the Land of Long Nights. Cuyler scowled at the gangly thing and ordered it to return to the forest but it never left. That night Cuyler would see the white dog transform into a black wolf with height close to his own. This night transformer became Cuyler’s companion whom he named Thia, after a constellation. Along his journey's to find these people he heard many stories, including more on witchcraft and what else was in this world. He had seen many things at The Port and Trader’s Markets but when they returned home to the Land of Long Nights he seemed to forget these things. From then on he believed that witchcraft had had a hand in his family’s death and he would find the coven who gifted these men and end them all. This in turn led him to leaving the Land of Long Nights and he now resides in the Small Wet Country. His life hasn’t all been hell bent on vengeance however and Cuyler is still heavily involved in his family’s craft and trades all over the country to make his living and bring some semblance of normalcy to his life. [b][color=pink]Thoughts on Queen Meliscente:[/color][/b] Not much is know about the Queen for Cuyler. Being across the sea, the Northern Traders pretty well fend for themselves, generally only going to the Small Wet Country to trade at the yearly Traders Market. It was a tragedy nonetheless and Cuyler wouldn’t be surprised if the witches were behind it all. The crown princess is a witch now after all.

I believe it is important to post at least once a week because then you are active within the story. You can keep up easily, communicate better with the other RPers and have a better opportunity to collab with people. Posting once a week means you are invested in the RP you have chosen to take on and have a level of excitement and appreciation for it.
