Title: A fallen angel, in the dark ||
The chasm of the night and a matter of time
Character Name -
Cyrus Voronova
'Valravne' - raven of the slain
Age -
eighteen. january 31st. aquarius,
Appearance -
Cyrus's appearance has so many dichotomies- tall but lean, lacking in burly muscle, he's not nearly what you might call physically imposing. A cold gleam shine forth from his hazel-amber eyes which stand in contrast to the blue-grey of his brothers.
But I hear the rumble
As the tectonic plates start to shake
Personality -
indentCyrus, for one thing, is intelligent - with a creative and analytical mind, he is capable of reading a room - and a situation - a pragmatist at heart, he has a natural penchant for puzzles - viewing them as an intertwining of many different situations, rather than a tangled web. However, this intelligence is often applied in a different way than what is normally expected. Having been forced to endure what he would call more than his fair share of court politics, his intelligence manifests in a way that allows him to read into the psychology of his peers. He has a way of developing - or feigning - a type of empathy, or understanding. He addresses problems in a rational and level-headed way, and tries to leave a solution for others to ponder. Harsh insults and barbed words - unless directed at those whom he holds dear - are usually ignored, brushed away or dealt with quickly. Emotions and logic are easily confused in his mind, and he returns to what he is comfortable with — an escapist that refuses to admit it.
indentIronically, given his empathetic facade, his domain of understanding does not stem from a true emotional foundation. Rather, Cyrus's psyche is his mind. He has a cerebral mindset, one that is most closely aligned with the facets of logic and factual evidence. True companionship is something of a rarity in his eyes, because through a rather black-and-white worldview has evolved a rather blunt way of dealing with his life. Psychology plays a part, but he tries to see things at face value for what they are, rather than trying to figure out the contours of human unpredictability. Cyrus tends to be rather frank in conversation, addressing the situation in a way that does not always allow for comfort and warmth. To more skeptical eyes, Cyrus is someone who is better called severe or even callous which isn't far from the truth. It's a paradoxical dichotomy between mind and self that many people have trouble understanding - and others often treat his aloof persona with disdain and resentment. This has made him a certain pariah in the Court, a problem for which there is little remedy. Ironically, even though Cyrus is aware of this, he makes no attempt to change it. He would rather have a close-knit circle of reliable friends than a wide circle of acquaintances.
indentIn a state of focus, Cyrus is relentless, leaping from one debacle to the next without taking a break. Highly action-oriented, he has a certain disregard for what he would deem 'useless' rules and regulations. Furthermore, saddling him with easy and routine tasks, however necessary they are, is a quick way to bore him half to death and lose his interest. At times, this apparent overlook of rules makes him a bit of a maverick. This isn't to say that he believes he is above such mundane tasks as it is to say that he believes they are merely excuses and not a way of moving forward. He remains wary of suspected nepotism, believing that rank should be achieved through hard work and achievement. Sadly, this is not always the case. Having been betrayed too many times before, Cyrus has grown cynical. He does not trust people to act with altruism unless it is a last resort. Cyrus holds strangers at a cold arms length, and sometimes he comes across as unfriendly to outsiders.
indentUnsurprisingly, Cyrus is a highly independent person, preferring to take on lone-wolf positions instead of those that involve reliance on large numbers of people. This is due to forming strong opinions - and a preferred method of action - very quickly. Due to his stubbornness, it can take a lot to cause divergence. Despite his prickly exterior, however, lies a very different person. In contrast to his resilient bearing, he needs time to shed his repressed and mask and let loose. In tandem with his mental acuity, Cyrus has developed an expansive vocabulary, which he proudly displays through sardonic quips and one-liners. Darkly humored and sharply witted, Cyrus knows how to get a reaction out of somebody, whether to satisfaction or sorrow. In addition to his wit, his enduring spirit ensures that he will follow those who earn his respect, to the grave. He is devoted, willing to go to the ends of the earth if it keeps his friends safe. With an extensive memory, he rarely forgets the many ways people have thrown generosity and kindness his way, and he always honors their deeds. One good deed may not be enough to earn a lifetime of camaraderie, but that does not mean it is meaningless either. Unfortunately, this leads into one of the more negative aspects of his personality.
paragraphThis extensive memory is a double-edged sword. Not only does Cyrus remember the ways his peers have honored their connection with him, he also remembers those who have merely used him for their own ends. Revenge is a common taste to his tongue, and he has not yet been desensitized to violence. He is unafraid to resort to brutality and coercion in order to demand another make amends. In essence, he has become a highly vindictive person. He can be surprisingly quick to violence in this sense, slitting the throats of his enemies with a unhinged smile on his face. This cuts a sharp contrast to his usual calm demeanor, a ruthless contrast that often leaves his opponents flat-footed. His anger stems from a history of being used and abandoned, feeling the effects firsthand. Unfortunately, some of this rage has manifested itself in anxiety and regret. Cyrus cannot help becoming so self-loathing at times, and tends to internalize the blame for things gone wrong in the past. Typically, he struggles to find closure, and this blame chases his thoughts for years on end.
paragraphFirst impressions are crucial, and Cyrus tries to keep his demons concealed behind a mirror-smooth calm and watchful eyes. Sullen, but observant, he tries to avoid jumping into situations impulsively, instead choosing to watch and analyze from a distance before making a (usually educated) guess. Though distant, he tries to put up a polite facade, answering questions politely to avoid attracting further attention.
And I feel my blood pounding like the beat of a drum
Backstory -
He stared at the flames engulfing the house, hands slack at his sides, unable to process what he was seeing. The charred skeletons of the people who had trusted them last, whom he had trusted glared back at him.
It had to be the Purge.
Those cold blue-grey eyes of his brother stared back, a disturbing emptiness to them. He would've felt better if Cal was smiling. Those eyes flashed like a wolf in the night, until the owner of the eyes that reminded him of his mother lunged for him with unnerving speed.
Pain. Blackness stabbed up at him like knives.
Then nothing.

Umm, Psycho. Not really gory but definitely a good plot overall.
Another scary movie that I watched (not horror) was War of The Worlds. I watched that when I was really young so umm, it was a bit overwhelming. It's a disaster movie, but lots of blood and other...unsettling content. I've been much better with horror since.

~Being nice merely to be liked in return nullifies the point (-Criss Jami)~
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Personality: Warm and friendly. She would give you the shirt off her back if she had to. She is extremely selfless and passive. She had no desire to fight others, instead she tries to help others.
Appearance: Long lengths of brown hair that have purple highlights in it- her favorite color. She had dark green eyes and tanned skin from having always be outside. She doesn't care for fashion, usually wearing clothes that she finds on sale. She doesn't have enough money to keep up with the latest fashion- not that she really cares.
Backstory: Cassandra is the type to travel often. It's difficult to enjoy life when there is a day centered around death and brutality. Cassandra tries to enjoy her limited years by traveling. If she is going to die by some masked maniac, she'd rather go out with happy memories.
That's how she got to this city. She was working in a coffee shop when she met Aster, who worked as a paramedic. The two became close, and he agreed to let her live with him until earned enough money to travel somewhere new... Specifically out of America. But splitting food and rent became expensive and soon The Purge was drawing near. The two promised each other that they would find a way to leave America after this year's Purge.

Other: If it's okay, I am going to have her driving in an ambulance (for the first few posts of the RP)- just like in one of the first Purge movies (I forgot which one xD). She, and her friend (Aster) will eventually be attacked and driven out into the streets. Also, spoiler: her friend is going to die ):3 so don't fall in love with him

Age - 19
Appearance - Sorry for the low quality in the first photo - something happened with my art program while I was drawing lol thats why some other parts of the image are not super fuzzy
Personality - Cold and stubborn, rational. Doesn't have a care in the world. Merciless.
Backstory (optional) - Yukimore, when she was young, did absurd things. Usually, when it was dark in her house, she always jump scared her parents, laughing at their reactions. She usually ran around with a knife, chasing other children around at her daycare. Her family was rich, and very political. They were always busy, and never dedicated any time to young Yukimore. She was usually made fun of the things she did in middle school, but one of her childhood friends, Jackie, always made sure she was alright, making Jackie the first person Yukimore actually had feelings for. Yukimore didn't spend most of her life dedicated to other people, though. As she entered high school, she became anxious of people. People usually gossiped about her, saying things like "She probably has no friends because she's so cold." or something similar to that. Around that time, Yukimore became insane. Not only was Yukimore so mad, the whole school closed. Her father died in a car accident, only leaving Yukimore and her mom. Her mom, of course, paid no attention to her, and Yukimore ended her, leaving Yukimore to wander aimlessly alone. Years later, Yukimore was captured by the scientists of an organization called Aglaia. Aglaia works on making humans immortal, and they just started with the first round of testing. The only few test subjects being her, Jackie, and Wickeline, another scientist. There may possibly be others, but Yukimore doesn't know. The scientists give Yukimore a VF Blood sample and injected it into her, granting 'immortality' and super fast recovery. The only way she can recover is just by simply resting, and can repair limbs and wounds faster than a regular. This goes with the other people in the first round. When something bad happened with the first round of experiments, they were not able to wipe anyone's mind that were in the first found of experiments. Considering this, Yukimore remembers how she killed each person and remembers each round of experiments.
Some people may say she's insane, but really, she just kills because she doesn't believe in good or evil. She just does whatever is 'fun' to her. To her, people are just things to toy around with.
