[b][color=#00FFA2]Name: [/color][/b]Kyrus Lohenn

[b][color=#00FFA2]Age: [/color][/b]20 human years

[b][color=#00FFA2]Species: [/color][/b]Tiefling

[b][color=#00FFA2]Gender: [/color][/b]Male | He/Him

[b][color=#00FFA2]Appearance: [/color][/b]Kyrus stands at roughly 6"2' tall, has dark red skin and eyes, and dresses like a college professor; Sweaters, slip-on shoes, and just about anything else that looks like it would make for a good outfit to take a walk on a crisp Autumn evening. His hair is white, and is always buzzed almost completely away. The only other thing about Kyrus that tends to stand out his his right arm, which is a mechanical prosthetic powered by magic. His shoulder, chest and back are covered in scar tissue from an accident that resulted in the loss of his arm. Though these are almost often covered up, they can occasionally be seen around his neck and collarbone.

[b][color=#00FFA2]Personality: [/color][/b]Kyrus would describe himself as driven, determined and thoughtful. Others would describe him as somewhat unhinged in some areas and the most grounded person on earth in others. Both of those are true. When Kyrus wants to learn something, it doesn't matter how long it takes him to understand it, he will spend weeks locked in his room studying everything he is aware of, devoid of sleep and obligations, and then go about his day as if he didn't just stay awake for 72 hours straight. Kyrus doesn't know when to let himself have a break. He is constantly pushing himself to do his best and meet the expectations of those around him, and likes to think he deals with great amounts of pressure better than others. Things that would normally make others feel overwhelmed or out of their depth don't have the same affect on Kyrus, even when he inevitably does bite off more than he can chew, causing him to subject himself to absurd stress once again.

[b][color=#00FFA2]History: [/color][/b]Many years ago, Kyrus was just an ordinary, non-magical kid with two parents and no siblings. His father was a spront hunter, and his mother was veterinarian. They managed to keep the lights on with their shared incomes, but they weren't exactly rich. Kyrus' dad was typically away from home for a week or two at a time at minimum, and his mom usually had to stay at work late, often leaving him alone. As a kid, he always had a fascination with magic, and wanted to attend a university for it, but the odds of that happening were slim. Kyrus was a talented kid, academically speaking, and his father even taught him some minor spells on occasion, but university wasn't free, and therefore, hard to get into for even the most intelligent people on the planet. Still, he held out hope that he could enroll somewhere and make a life for himself that was better than the one he was born into.

When he was 15, though, those hopes were dashed.

Kyrus and his father were driving home after running errands together when he was home from the sea, when a very bad accident happened on the road. It had been snowing all day, and people were warned to drive carefully since the road was slippery. An oncoming vehicle lost traction, driving at least 30 over the speed limit, and flipping over as it crashed directly into the car that Kyrus and his father were in. Both vehicles were ran off of the road, and Kyrus had been knocked out cold. He woke up hours later after being given medical attention, and both him and his father made it out with their lives. It was revealed that the driver in the other vehicle was drunk, and didn't survive. Kyrus and his father, despite being alive, were not entirely intact afterwards, though.

His father has several broken bones, and damage in his spine. He wouldn't be walk again despite the effort of several magic healers. And that was if he survived the punctured lung he also had. Kyrus, on the other hand, was missing his right arm, and most of his shoulder. It was the darkest part of his life to this day, and his family never properly recovered from it. His father could no longer work, and the medical expenses left any hope for Kyrus attending university nonexistent. After two and weeks of recovery in the hospital, everyone went home to decide what to do. Kyrus had to get a job at a supermarket to support his family, which wasn't easy given the lack of one arm, but he grit his teeth and got through it. Eventually, he learned to adjust, and life went on for him.

Kyrus' dad, on the other hand, couldn't cope with the life-changing injury. Rather than find a way to move on, he fell into a pit of depression and self-loathing that he only managed to deal with through alcohol. By the age of 16, Kyrus could no longer recognize his dad. What little money he managed to save for himself was put to studying magic on his own terms. For the next two and half years, Kyrus studied Technosorcery, and eventually stumbled upon a fringe form of magic called Cosamancy. It fascinated him, and helped him understand the principles of magic machines, to the point he managed to create something of his own. Every artificer starts somewhere, and for Kyrus, his start was in a garage that he had spent an entire summer in. At 18, he revealed his new right arm to his parents. Every last penny he saved went into finding the parts for it, and it was a feat of magic he never previously imagine was possible, but Kyrus had built himself a metal limb powered by magic. All his hard work had paid off.

Someone in the world must have discovered this, however, because at the end of his last year of high school, Kyrus received a handwritten letter from Gloomminister University. It had a symbol on it that neither he nor his family recognized, and there was no signature. The letter stated that someone had taken a great interest in Kyrus' talents, and that they wanted to see him succeed. The letter then explained that Kyrus need only apply to Gloomminister University and present the seal included in the letter, and everything would be "handled without worry." Kyrus found it strange, but he took his chances. A month after he applied, he received a letter of acceptance. It seemed too good to be true at first, but Kyrus was in. He made it, and he wasn't going to let this opportunity pass him by. However, Kyrus still doesn't know who exactly is looking out for him.
