"Sorry I'm late; I only just woke up from my 6 year nap."

### Phobias

Cyther is scared of falling asleep. Every time he ends up sleeping he risks not waking up for years. This leads into general fears of losing his friends like he has long ago due to these lengthy slumbers, or awakening to an environment extremely different to the one he fell asleep in. Each time this has happened to him, it feels like he's been forced to start all over again and it's exhausting.

### Weakness

While Cyther may survive without sleep, it has heavily affected him. He struggles with tasks that drain his energy quickly such as melee fighting, swimming, running for long distances, and therefore has low stamina. He also tends to avoid those kinds of activities in the first place out of fear that they may make him tired and sleepy. He also has an awful memory and will absolutely forget a wide array of things, no matter the importance of the memory. His memory can be jogged though, so he tries to employ methods that will remind him of things he deems important.

## Backstory

Cyther manifested into existence through someone's nightmares and lack of sleep as his fellow Phantoms did, but he quickly realized he looked far different to them and wouldn't die if he was in the sun. He actually blended in among civilization to an extent and started to build a life among everything around him. This was cut short when he went to sleep and didn't wake back up until 11 years later.

With everything he'd begun building having disappeared, he started again.

This time he made a closer friend, a man named Finn who wanted to start a tavern for people to stay the night at or just have a drink at. Cyther had nothing to contribute but liked Finn's company and started farming nearby the construction site for the tavern. However, his farming got out of hand because he started to feel an emotional connection to the wheat he was growing, and each time Finn returned to resume construction he found new acres of dirt that had been transformed into wheat fields. He was originally unsure, but decided it would work as a tourist attraction to his tavern, and encouraged Cyther's antics.

The whole time, Cyther had prevented himself from sleeping in any way he could. Thankfully, it seemed his Phantom genes allowed him to actually survive without sleep, but the sleepiness would hit sometimes, and he'd desperately try anything to keep himself from falling asleep and possibly lose what he was having with Finn and his wheat fields.

Sadly, he eventually failed. Finn had finished construction of the tavern and began work on interior design when he found Cyther asleep and unresponsive to any external stimuli. That's the last thing Cyther vaguely remembered from his light sleep in the first few weeks before eventually waking up an unknown amount of time later, his beloved fields and Finn's tavern nowhere in sight. He was angry now that he made the same mistake twice and lost everything yet again, but accepted that he would have to go from the beginning once more. However, he was determined not to lose it all again, as well as scared of the possibility that he might.

Since awakening, Cyther has begun work on a new wheat field next to the house of a new friend he made of which he does not know the name of (in his defence, it didn't seem that important).
