Master K -> RE: Isle of Dracos - OOC (1/28/2014 18:25:46)
|
Name: Maxwell Kcyning
Alias: "Master K".
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Position: Lord
Titles: "Shinobi King', "The Masked Man", "The Faceless Lord"
Physical Appearance:
Master K is about 6'1'' in height, and is well built, but thin. His hair is ebony black in color, and is rather long, but is keep clean. His skin is deathly white, and bears no distinguishing marks or scars. His eyes are gray, and give the feeling of emptiness.
Armor/Clothing:
Master K wears armor that appears to be styled like a shinobi. His armor is leather, so it is lightweight and flexible, allowing him to be agile, and is deep black in color, and covers his entire body. He wears gauntlets bear the mark of the Kcyning family crest. He covers his face with a mask, leaving only his eyes exposed, in order to hide his identity. This what he wears when he intends on battling. His regular outfit is simply a black sweater that is tied off at the waist with a red cord, tan colored pants, and closed toed sandals. He still wears a mask in his casual clothing, however. The mask covers the lower half of his face, bears charcoal black marks going down the left side, and is indigo in color.
Weapon(s): Master K's weapon of choice is a katana he designed himself simply named "Pride". It's blade is four feet long, and is simply made of steel. Master K usually coats the blade in poison, making it rather dangerous to come in contact with. This poison causes crippling sickness to whomever manages to escape an encounter with it. The poison is somewhat modified from what normal antidotes can cure, and the poison and antidote are both made within RockHold from a recipe that was conceived by his ancestors. The blade itself also bears the Kcyning crest at its base.
Skills and Abilities: Master K is quite fit and agile, as well as stealthy. He is also trained in the art of alchemy.
Hold:
The capital is known as Terrano City, and is the capital of Rockhold. It is well known as the walled city, as the Kcyning rulers built up massive stone walls around the city. The city has a gated entrance, managed by guards. The entire city itself has guards that patrol it. The cities attractions are pretty standard, with taverns and inns, blacksmiths, alchemists and farmers markets. Although other towns exist outside of Terrano, many farms exist around and outside of Terrano to provide its markets, and fishing off the coast is very prevalent. Mining exists, but its off towards the larger mountain chains and cliffs that exist towards the far east. There are scattered forests in Rockhold, but rolling hills and rocky cliffs dominate the landscape.
Terrano City itself has a refined architecture. It has stone roads and wooden houses, which are pretty standard. The city is very tight knit, with everyone knowing pretty much everyone. Rockhold Fortress exists within the far edge of the city. The rolling landscape provides an excellent view. Guards on top of the wall watch over the landscape, and there exists a massive bell to warn the city of any imminent danger.
The fortress itself is a massive stone castle, with one central tower in it that acts as a great lookout. The castle features rooms for all the family members, a kitchen, a dining hall, a main hall, and a study, quarters for the maids, as well as other extra rooms. Underneath the castle, however, exists the Rockhold Library, which is where a lot of archives and documents are kept. There is also a passage that leads out of the city, for immediate escape. They have a courtyard at the back of their castle as well, with a lone apple tree standing in its center.
Dragon:
Jaycov is quite reserved, but is also daring and adventurous at heart. He is very attached to his human family, and wants to see that they succeed in their endeavors. Jaycov's scales are indigo in color. He is developing an innate ability for magic, but it is quite weak at the moment. It appears he can wield and manipulate mana itself, but not very effectively at the moment. He can also read peoples auras and gain a good insight as to how they think and how they act. Jaycov also has wings, and can fly. Given time, he'll become a formidable force to deal with, wielding raw magic and insight of his enemies, as well as being physically strong as well.
Family:
Aragon: Master K's only brother. Aragon is 36, and co-manages affairs of RockHold with his brother. Aragon is roughly 6'2'', has unkempt black hair, and jade green eyes. He is a warrior, and wears standard steel equipment. Some of it is stylized, however. His helmet is in the design of a dragons head, and his gauntlets bear spikes on the knuckles. His weapon, "Wrath", is a five foot long, steel battleaxe, in the style of dragon wings, designed by Master K himself. Aragon abstains from fighting on the front lines, but is trained to be prepared for war. Aragon has three children who live in the fortress with him and his brother. His title is "The Dragon Knight".
Jet: Aragon's eldest son. Jet is 18, and he watches over his other brothers in absence of his father. Jet has long, somewhat curly, and messy platinum blonde hair, which slightly falls over his eyes. He's about 5'11'', and has icy blue eyes that almost always appear to be locked in a judgmental scowl. Jet stands out as the ghost of the family, because he is rather pale, frail looking, and is almost always dressed in white or gray. Jet is quite scholarly and intelligent, and has an interest in music. Being the eldest child, he pays close attention to the matters that are discussed between his father and uncle, and is always thinking of answers to any problems that arise. He is fully aware of the situation that the Isle of Dracos is in. His title is "The Scholar".
Daunte: The middle child of Aragon's family. Daunte is 15, and is the timid one of the family. He is 5'6'', and has charcoal black hair that is moderately long. He has vivid green eyes...well, that is if you ever see them. Daunte's most notable feature is that he wears a hooded cloak, and actively tries to obscure his eyes and face. Other miscellanious things is that he is quite agile, likes to hide, is very artistic, and is clever. He knows all the nooks and crannies of the RockHold Fortress, and is very good at sneaking. He is also aware of the situation of the Isle of Dracos, but choses to ignore it. His title is "The Shadow".
Ike: Aragon's youngest son. Ike is 10, and is quite adventurous. He's practically fearless, and is somewhat eccentric. He is 4'5'', has rather short black hair, and has shining blue eyes. The most notable thing about his appearance is that he wears a crimson cape, a fake golden crown, and wields a miniature scepter, which is simply a small staff painted yellow and has a variety of beads attached to the end. Ike is always very aware of his environment, and also very observant. He is unaware of the exact details, but knows something bad is going to be happening in the near future. He doesn't have a formal title.
Personality: Master K is a calm, yet determined man. He believes in using a variety of tactics in order to win battles, and is not above getting help from his brother Aragon to plan strategies and manage Rockhold City. Master K values pragmatism to a degree, as evidenced by his poisoned sword, but would rather not get painted as a ruthless, evil person. He prefers to keep his image aloof, yet attentive and involved. However, he also worries a fair amount about issues, and can sometimes crack slightly under pressure when not in the public eye. He is excellent at maintaining a facade.
History: Master K and Aragon were born into their royal family, to Lord Denn and Lady Elizabeth. While they were growing up, Master K trained in the art of stealth, secrecy, and alchemy, while his brother trained to be a warrior. The House Kcyning had come a long way in terms of Lords, Ladies and leadership. The family has been managing Rockhold since around the time that King Dracos had first ruled. Their rise to power, however, came as a dark family secret.
In the uncertain times of when the Isle of Dracos was first settled, Rockhold had no leader to look to. Many men applied to become the new leader of Rockhold, and all tried to win the appeal of the citizens of Rockhold. One of these leaders was Taryvas Kcyning, who was a scholar, interested in the work of the dragon priests. Taryvas kept documents of the subjects he researched, many of which reside in Rockhold Fortress's personal library and archive. Taryvas studied many subjects, saving all his work for future generations to look upon, and kept them well hidden. Taryvas also studied alchemy, among other subjects.
After the war to reunify the Isle of Dracos, the Lord of Rockhold was decided, and it was not Taryvas. Taryvas knew this man, as they had been allies before. However, he also feared him, for he was fully aware of what tyranny this man could be capable of, and feared that he would rebel against King Dracos himself if he rose in power. Out of generosity and pride, the new leader of Rockhold invited all the other suitable leaders to a feast, including Taryvas. He agreed to go to the feast, but began to brew a wretched plan. His studies in alchemy had brought rise to a vile poison, which was of his own creation. On the night of the feast, Taryvas informed the leader that he had fallen ill and could not attend the feast. That night, Taryvas snuck into the fortress, and masqueraded as one of the kitchen staff that was in charge of cooking for the feast. Taryvas slipped the poison he had created into the food, and soon, the Lord and all the other guests ate the feast.
Within a couple of days, all the men that attended the feast fell ill and died of a mysterious, crippling disease that stole away their life, which had astounded the people of Rockhold. Taryvas, being the last of those who were exceptionally loyal to the king, was then made the new Lord of Rockhold. He maintained a good reputation and was well respected in the eyes of the people, but even that could not stop the hushed whispers and rumors of conspiracy and foul play that wiped out all of his competition. This secret was documented within the families archives, which also expressed Taryvas guilt for purposely killing all those other men. When Taryvas died, he left all his hidden documents and research to his children, as well as a key. This key has an unknown purpose, and is kept hidden in the Rockhold library. The only clue it gives to its purpose is that it bears the crest of the House Kalzar.
Coming back to more recent events, Lord Denn had made some questionable choices in the leading of Rockhold, and had a mixed base of supporters, while Lady Elizabeth was well loved by all of Rockhold. Lord Denn was assassinated when Aragon and Master K were 18 and 19. Lady Elizabeth never re-married. Aragon fell in love with a woman, Talia, and had three children with her. Talia, however, died young, due to a disease that took her life. Aragon was devastated at this tragedy, but the true nature of her death was murder. Talia had sought out to become the new leader of Rockhold, and only intended to kill off the rest of the Kcyning family members. It was one of her family members that had assassinated Lord Denn. When word of this came to Lady Elizabeth, she poisoned Talia with the "family poison" and passed her death off as a tragedy, a secret she would take to her grave. Lady Elizabeth died of old age, and left Rockhold in the hands of her two sons, Master K and Aragon.
Presently, they are appalled by the news that the House Kalzar has been eliminated by the force of the Red Assassins. Master K grew paranoid of the Red Assassins, and his brother anticipates that they may soon need an army to deal with the war that is to come...
Well that was fun! Thoughts?
EDIT: Made some fixes to lore.
