Subject: Cyril Vaans' Shadow Sun Dec 01, 2013 8:03 pm
Cyril Vaans’ Shadow "You can fix many things, but there are two things you cannot fix: Death, and idiots."
The Biography
Birth Name:Cyril Vaans Aliases: N/A Gender: Male Age: 17 Birth Day: September 20, 1994 Arcana: The Hermit Place of Residence: Limbo :: The Dreamscape Aberration School Year: N/A Class: N/A
After School Club: N/A
Part Time Job: N/A
Base & Transformed Appearance:Cyril is at 5'8" of height, with an average-slim figure. He has black hair reaching down to his neck behind him and past his nose in front of him. What is most noticeable about him is his golden eyes, which unless disguised are rather noticeable compared to his original self, who had mismatched eyes. Normally he sports casual wear, unlike his other self, he normally wears pants and an actual jacket. Though at the same time, he will often not dress over the top, and if necessary, put a disguise to himself with contact lenses and other necessities.
His True Self is an insectoid-like figure, with very long arms and legs. Standing at a bit over six feet, this monster would have claws on the end of its hands, and large extensions from what would be their wrists, where the small wings connected to the hands can extend to and help him fly. Between his legs is a tail about just as long as the actual legs. His head would have four light red eyes and plenty of teeth, but what would be most noticeable, is the pulsing pink matter located across its body, encased under a shielding made of unknown material.
Personality:Cyril is a bit of a hateful person if he was to be summarized. But there is more to him. Mainly he is easily irritable and does not talk too much, preferring to avoid other people. He finds it better to think to himself and as such when he talks to others, he comes across as cold or rude. To anyone that may have known him before, he would be a completely different man. He is not nice to anyone that cannot offer him something in return, be it payment or some form of respect. He also unlike his true self, has a tendency to bear grudges and carries a vindictive personality on him. Should someone wrong him, he will not hesitate to strike back with just as much if not more venom. No one really knows why he has this want to “get even” rather than get mad, save for a select group of people.
One thing that can still make him enjoy himself a bit is some good humor. Whether it be dark or offensive, he will take it and laugh. He laughs at many things that others try to make funny, and if they are not being funny or useful, just boring. He also tends to be rather blunt, not really caring who it bothers, so long as his opinions are out or he says what he wanted to say. But unlike his true self, he can articulate his words properly and does not hesitate in saying or doing what he feels he must.
One thing he does despise over all else are stupid people. Anyone who expresses any sense of ignorance or tries to act any bit smarter than they actually are, will annoy Cyril. Stupid people are nothing to be looked over in this world, and should be forgotten. People who lose all sense of common knowledge also bother him, and can lead him into getting into nasty conversations with said “idiots”.
The Potential
Strengths:
—Strength Name: Sprinter —Description:Cyril is quite fast at running, and can travel long distances at a time, as well as cover more ground quicker than others.
—Strength Name: Swordsmaster —Description: His abilities with the katana are well above average, and will pose a threat to those going up against him unarmed or with another katana. He knows many different styles of swordplay and can use them to his advantage.
—Strength Name: Flight of The Insect —Description: In his True Self form, the wings on the ends of his arms can extend and give him the ability to fly, which increases his range of movement and give him a possible edge in combat.
—Strength Name: Reflexive —Description: He is very reactionary, and with his eyes, can notice the slightest of things around him. So long as he is not caught off guard, he can react to most things directed at him accordingly with enough time.
—Strength Name: Piercing Eyes —Description: Not a very talkative person, Cyril prefers viewing other people and various things, monitoring them and seeing what comes from them. He is very observant and can catch some of the tiniest details if he was trying to detect something, as well as viewing other people’s actions.
Weaknesses:
—Weakness Name: Sado-Cynicist —Description:Cyril is quite cruel in his methods and views. No mercy for the knowledgeable is his logic. He will offer very little constructive criticism and judge other people quite harshly, due to his poor outlook on the human race. It would be hard to convince him if someone has stopped being foolish or squandered what they had.
—Weakness Name: Meat Shielder —Description: While he may not be a coward per se, Cyril knows when to give up, especially if it means he gets to live another day. He will flee at a moment's notice if it is going bad for him, more than happy to leave any allies he may have behind if it means his skin is saved.
—Weakness Name: Stubborn —Description: Due to recent events, Cyril has found himself had to trust people, and his Shadow reflects that, to the point where he does not trust anyone. It also means he is not convinced by anyone, so he may never be told by someone to do something or to help someone without first considering what he gains out of it.
—Weakness Name: Pay it Forward —Description: Being repaid is something he believes should be essential to her lifestyle. In his mind, one of if not the best way to pay his back for her efforts, is with money, or trinkets and items, or even with assistance or tools to use. If he agrees to basically help someone, or helps them on a whim, he will pretty much demand payment in return in the form of money or items. Sometimes, he may even refuse outright to help unless he is assured a certain type of payment in return.
—Weakness Name: Misogynist —Description: He has an irrational hatred for women. His true self was self-conscious around them, and his Shadow believes that it is because of the annoyance and uselessness they pose apart from procreation and physical pleasure. He already speaks poorly with people, but it is even worse with women, and itwould be very hard to get him to ally with one, much less listen to them if they fought together. If he fought against one, he will fight recklessly in order to see them fall.
Soul Bound Weapon:
Weapon Name: One Way Weapon Description: A standard black katana, the handle being three quarters of a foot, and the blade itself about three feet. Weapon Image: Weapon Attack Type: Slash Weapon Element: N/A
The Background
History: Ultimately Cyril's True Self had an average life. His life became a bit more unique with the discovery of his heterochromia to which his mother put glasses on him despite perfect vision so others wouldn't pick on him. He has either grown used to them, or is a bit paranoid it will get attention since he has had them on for so long. When he was younger his father had gone through some rather troubling times involving one night where his father was inebriated and had abused him and about only half his family (including his mother) believed him. He is over it now, but has an ongoing strained (to say the least) relationship with his father.
As he grew he got a bit distant from his mother, maybe because his distorted view of his family and whatnot. But for whatever reason, when he was made to move into a new house, he got a chance to live in a dorm for his third year at a new high school. He took the chance immediately and has been there since then.
Though recently, he had lost his mother to the Shadows, and was now currently in a coma at the local hospital in Shibakuzoi. The stress from that attack had caused him to awaken to his Persona, and decide from then on to solve the mystery of what had been going on with the world called Limbo, for a short while anyway. Not much later on, he had tried to protect a group of newly awakened Persona-Users, and due to their stupidity and incompetence, they had gotten him killed and taken to Limbo. Once more, it was by their own hands, as once they had attacked the Shadows which were focused on Cyril, the Shadows that were attached to his body were struck, but so was he, and was knocked out from the continued damage. In that moment, he was given an offer from the God of Chaos, Nyarlathotep, to come back in exchange for taking their lives, and Cyril had refused. He wanted to believe trust was possible. But unfortunately, his trust was misplaced, and was taken into Limbo by the Shadows.
Currently trapped in Limbo, Cyril's Shadow is now ready to leave Limbo, and do what he wishes, for pure self interest. His wishes are to be met at any cost of others, and perhaps more importantly, reclaim his pride and gain vengeance for the suffering he had gone through all that time ago. He is ready to give it back, with interest.
