Cedar (Character)

## About

Cedar is a Tree Nymph/Fae hybrid character in Season 2 of the Dystopian SMP Lore. He was added on ??/??/????. He's portrayed by Cedarshade (they/them).

Cedar was in Season 1, (briefly explain past)

## Personality and Appearance

Cedar is a rather reclusive Tree Nymph that resides in many little locations across the City of a Hundred Souls, though still has little spots of their own spread throughout the City. They own a quaint greenhouse in the center of the City as well as having a personal room inside Lucid's Cave, given to them as a sign of trust as the two became close friends. They're rather secretive in nature deep down, though hides it well with a bubbly and energetic exterior when amongst friends.

Cedar is 5'4, has pale-olive skin, forest green eyes, and short brown, ruffled hair. They have large solid brown bat-like wings and matching tail and hindpaws, which both have a dark gradient to their ends. They have large ears built for echolocation and wears a signature earring on the right side.

Their lifeline is attached to a small cedar tree sapling which they guard with their life and often keep on their person.

Even though they love the City, Cedar can't help but crave the taste of adventure and exploration. So they'll often be gone for weeks, maybe even months at a time, in search of something new, whether it be a treasure or a new experience. Though eventually they always come back home.

## Abilities and Skills

Cedar is a natural-born flyer who loves to take to the skies, however they're not the best at landing as their eyesight is rather limited. So sometimes it's rougher coming down than going up. Oftentimes, they rely on echolocation when navigating the skies in bright daylight.

They're extremely skilled a lot of things, such as; blacksmithing, building, as well as farming and various kinds of botany. Cedar is also considered a good-luck charm during mining expeditions with others, as the ones they venture out with always swear the bat-fae can 'hear the diamonds before they're even seen', which never fails to seem true. They're also extremely stealthy and often sneak up on others without realizing.

Their main weapon is a meteor hammer, which is a set of two weights connected by a long rope which can be thrown with great precision, which they're extremely skilled with after ages of training. They're also extremely skilled and quite deadly when using their trench knives, specifically made by Cedar themselves to fit their stealthy/quick agile fight style.

## Character Relationships

**Lucid** is a very good friend of Cedar's, and also the first person the dragon had met in the City. Lucid took interest in their mischievous persona they put on when running about the city, though after getting to know the nymph more he realized they were more alike than he realized, even seeing a bit of himself in the younger. So slowly Cedar helped him break out of his shell and they're slowly getting to know each other and their pasts. Even though they're still slowly unturning all those stones, they both share a strong level of trust and willingness to protect the other. Cedar is trusted enough in fact that Lucid gave him space in his cave to live until the bat fully was settled somewhere himself, or even forever should they wish to stay. The pair love to goof off and play around the City; their favorite is playing hide and seek, which one of them happens to be much better at than the other (Lucid is too big to hide anywhere).

## Story

~~*Cedar is a Tree Fae Nymph who's lifeline is directly tied to nature, specifically trees.*~~

~~*When they were younger, Cedar was stolen from their forest along with their life force, their little cedar sapling, and life changed for them forever. They were forced into an old organization which specialized in the 'accidental deaths' of whoever the highest bidder's enemy was. i'll write this when im more awake*~~

Cedar is a tree-nymph-type being. Their lifeline is tired directly to trees. They were stolen from their home forest along with their life force by an old organization that specialized in the "accidental deaths" of whoever the highest bidders enemy was. Cedar managed to escape that life with their sapling and took up sanctuary at The Lake in Season 1 where they made a new identity as the local librarian and blacksmith of the area. Since then, they have had a bad habit of disappearing for months on end in bouts of mental fragility where they don't want to see anyone and are paranoid of being found by this old organization again.

Cedar helps Lucid out of his carefully built mask every now and then, and has earned an area in Lucid's cave as a resting spot. Cedar is still afraid of getting closer to Lucid or anyone partially out of respect for Lucid who still appears closed off about his past, as well as due to an insecurity that they aren't much more than a weapon. Otherwise, Cedar has gotten happier in the city and built a greenhouse to plant their sapling safely and away from any potential harm.
