Username: Several7s

Name: Cyllessil Forwen

Age: 43

Gender: Female

Appearance: Cyllessil has long, straight black hair and lightly tanned skin. She's tall and skinny, with high cheekbones and almond shaped brown eyes. Making use of her lithe form, strength, and agility, she's mastered many weapons. Her hair is always braided over her shoulder, allowing her to see and keeping it out of the way. She also has the pointed ears typical of an elf.

Backstory: Cyllessil is one of the youngest elves in her village, and spent most of her childhood years learning to heal. She spent a lot of time with the healers in the Healer's Guild, and stayed safe, for the most part. Monsters were drawn to her, but she learned to communicate with them and help them, using her magic to heal the ones that were hurt and playing with the ones that were just there. However, when she turned twenty, everything changed. She met a human healer whose magicka capacity was a 10. Except this man wasn't a normal healer. He'd learned to turn his power into a weapon. For a while, he used his gift as it was meant to be used and taught Cyllessil how to enhance her skills, but one day she found him using his gift to kill, instead of heal. After months of spending time with him, she'd begun to think she was falling in love with him and seeing this broke her. In one of her vulnerable moments, he found her and managed to convince her to at least learn how to use that side of her power. He taught her the other side of her ability, and in doing so, destroyed her innocent healing spirit. His teachings unbalanced her confidence in magic, and one day, when trying to heal someone, her magic stole her patient's life instead of saving it. Most of the healers saw that it was an accident, and were willing to forgive her and help her, but she saw the fear in the eyes of every new patient she was presented with. It wasn't long before she refused to heal. Her family watched while she changed into a completely different person. She went from a happy, loving, carefree healer into a young elf trying to restore her confidence in magic. After she stopped healing, she stopped using her magic too. Several years past, and she never recovered from the incident. Taking a life with her magic changed her so much that she felt the only way she could feel whole again would be to escape the Autumn Forest and find people who would teach her to live with that mistake. She chose to go to the Assassin's Guild, and spent months wandering and surviving in the woods, evading the now-aggressive monsters, and searching for the guild. When she finally found it, she fought her way past all of the other newcomers and became one of the best. But she never learned to live with the lives she took. Now each new job, each life, is just another brick she adds to the wall around her heart, protecting herself from the harsh realities of life.

Personality: Cyllessil used to be a kind person, learning from the people in the healer's guild and helping people. But now she's a battle hardened assassin. She'll get the job done, never involving emotions in it, and collect the money, but she does it her way. No one can stop her from doing what she sets her mind to, and she picks and rejects jobs for reasons no one else understands. She's dependable, and if she agrees to do something, no matter what it is, she will do it. She doesn't make promises often, but in the very rare occasion that she does, she never breaks them. Sometimes, when she's in a good mood, she'll make jokes, but most of the time she's just sarcastic.

Magic/Powers: She has the ability to heal wounds, to a certain extent. She refuses to use it for fear that she might lose control and activate the flip effect of her power- the ability to use it to kill.

Weapon of Choice: Daggers, though she can use multiple weapons.

Strengths: She has a lot of magic, if she would use it. She's a lethal assassin, but she still has a talent for healing, even without her powers.

Weaknesses: She shuts off her emotions and bottles them up inside, which is unhealthy. She tends to anger people with her sarcastic attitude. Not using her magic for so long has allowed it to build up within her, to the extent that it attracts all sorts of monsters to her. It also affects her health badly, but she refuses to release the tension it's putting on her body.

Captured: A job went south quickly when the Unseelie arrived. There were too many of them for her to take on and she ended up getting taken by them.

Greatest Fear: That she'll accidentally kill someone with her magic. One might imagine that wouldn't bother her, since she's an assassin, but every life she takes weighs on her. At least with her knives, she knows she did the killing on purpose, unlike with her magic.

Insecurities: She blames herself for the accident that killed her patient all those years ago and she hates herself for it. But most especially, she hates herself for continuing to kill, even when she knows how much it hurts her.

Loved Ones: She has no siblings, as elves have few children, but both of her parents still live. She doesn't know it, but after she left they searched for three years, determined to find their daughter. Eventually, they lost hope, believing their daughter had been killed, and returned to the Healer's Guild to help others. As for friends, she never made any.

Realm They're From: The Argent Terrain

Fandom They're From: N/A

Token: A pin she got from the first patient she ever saved. She doesn't know why she keeps it, but she can't bring herself to get rid of it.

Anything Else: Cyllessil spends most of her time wandering in the woods with the monsters. While they were aggressive when she first entered the woods, the slow darkening of her heart eventually caused them to be drawn to her for companionship. However, as a side effect, most of the kind creatures avoid her like death itself.
