Cynth

**Cynth** (Cyn, Sin, Cynny, others) is a small, grey ancient dragon. Older than they seem by far and quite powerful now, they spend their days in a mix of lounging about in their favorite spots, being an easily amused lil shit, and helping fight whatever battles need their aid. They try to do what they think is right, despite the questionable situations that might land them into. Most often found in and around Harro.

## Physical Appearance

**(I fiddle with this page every so often, sorry in advance!)**

A small, medium built, grey scaled ancient dragon (though rarely, shifting into the form of an adult). Teal-turquoise stripes. Light blue chest plates, like the open sky. Dark blue, lively eyes, with a slit pupil in the center of them - which can become either quite thin or somewhat thicker depending on the light. Expressive fins. Slightly darker grey tongue and inside of mouth. A very generic istarian dragon for what it's worth, in features.

## Personality

Sometimes seeming generally disinterested, tired, and a bit snarky, that's really more of a worn down outward shell. They don't take long to make friends, although true trust takes a certain kind of bond to form.

They're a caring being that is always there to protect others, if they can, nowadays. They tolerate a lot, but come back with quite the vengeance if you're a really bad person. They may be cruel if they believe you deserve it, but would just as soon die for those they feel are their people, so to speak.

Having fallen into the trap of being quite the monster in the past as the only way to cope with issues, they have since calmed down some and learned to be kind as much as possible (past their general sarcasm, introductory snark, and warranted anger), and try to help those on a hellbent path.

*(SMALL STORY DISCLAIMER. Once I discovered that 1 irl year = 1 istaria year in technical canon, it...didnt really feel right for Cyn to have lived 8 years (at the time) only. It makes no damn sense! So Cyn is approximately ~200+ years old give or take, with 209 BR chosen as their birth year since I started in 2009. Some people use canon istarian years, in which they'd need to be born then to be any old, and some ppl (like myself) kind of feel the years vaguely, so this is a compromise, I guess, or it'd be more like 09 BR or something. I originally had things pretty by-year, but it keeps bothering me and my ocd that it is not...set in stone, and some things feel longer than others. If I go back to by-the-year setups, it is still a heavy wip. Either way, I have only been able to ask a few of the real people mentioned in this story if they are okay with also counting time like this, as the rest are gone or I have just not been able to ask.*

*Most of their interactions are left vague time-wise.*

*If you see this story and are in it/have interacted with Cyn and count time differently, please, by all means, ignore the years. Just read it as "in the time I imagined that interaction took place". Of all my dragons, their story is filled up start-to-finish chock full of people interactions, and they are all very very dear to me. I do not wish to erase either of them just to give Cyn their age, so..this is a compromise, I guess. Though I imagine most of you would also agree our oldest of dragons being alive ten+ years is ridiculous, I will of course not force it on you.)*

## Story

**Hatching, and first home.**

 Cynny was born somewhere on the main continent, unluckily close to the Eastern Deadlands and the Spirituous Swamp, in the late fall / early winter of **209 BR**. By some unlikely circumstances, they became lost from their nest, and ended up alone in the wilderness. As their situation left them starving and cold, a kind helian dragoness, Caelhisiia, flying nearby spotted them, picked them up, and took them back to Chiconis.

They lived with Caelhisiia for the first five years of their life, reading the books in her library and playing around chiconis and the safer nearby areas. Until...one day, their adoptive mom never came back home.

It was only much later in life that they learn about how her trips she was always taking were for the army in the war against the aegis, and the time she never came back she had fallen in battle, despite her pretty admirable skill. Even without that knowledge, however, all young Cyn saw was loneliness and fear. Their mother gone, and their hope of seeing her again ever waning, the small hatchling fell into a deep, long, and miserable sleep in the cave of their mother not long after her disappearance, in 203 BR.

**Early years**

By the time they wake up, nothing in their lair changed fundamentally, nor was their mother back. Cobwebs covered both their body and their home, the books yellowed and even ruined in places, after an earthquake or some other event had caused water to leak over them. ..Confused and alone, they leave, deciding there is nothing left for them there.

Over the years, as their home cave crumbles and ultimately disappears, the now older hatchling takes to exploring the land and learning to fight and craft. Their magic is pretty terrible at this point. In an unfortunate accident, they set the roof of a building on fire (in New Trismus, but no idea if that existed in-lore so early so just A Town Where NT Would Be) just trying to command a prime bolt. They learn of the ongoing war and decide that even small dragons like themself may be of use. And so they train and explore.

They start meeting their first actual friends in the training grounds of the same town, and later they all form a guild, The Draconic Alliance. The hatchlings in question were Cynny themself, Dimmae, Nightwing, Jarroc, Aucapoma, Asin and Frostywings. They learn eilert erdoten from the elders of the time, and would train and explore parts of the world with said group, especially with Dimmae and Nightwing, at first. And sometimes on their own. Their first time outside the town of New Trismus, they had followed a curious hatchling through it to the Isle of Ice, and...did very much not last long. Barely in their first ten seasons, if that. Back when golems still roamed all the way down to the pad.

Eventually, they would eagerly buy a lair in Four Corners - their first - with the help of an elder. ...They name it Snow Respite, and it would become their first of many homes. Soon after, unrelatedly, they start practicing their crafting, which they would get a bit of help away from New Trismus in the form of the adult drake Morphaz. (IIRC, dont come for me haha. Im p sure it was them though.) Their training goes smoothly, and they approach their thirtieth seasons in both schools.

**Daemonar, and the start of a journey**

Still, they would spend most of their social time with the Alliance, and it is thanks to the guild that they meet the person who would become the most important in their life, around where the settlement of Snowfall is. The black dragon Daemonar, dying in the snow, having seemingly been attacked by wolves. They were more..out there than Cyn was, at the time, and after exchanging names, would ask them to tell them a story while they waited for help. ..Which they do, the words of which Cyn to this day remembers fondly (if not fully accurately anymore), but considers more private in the present time - and the two form a quick and unbreakable bond. They would call themselves siblings, although along the way it blossomed to more - actual love - despite neither of them ever acknowledging it, or even realizing it in at least Cyn's case.

The two hatchlings train and explore together, getting in all sorts of mischief. Dae goes missing for a very small while, however, during which Cyn trains more for their rites. Having heard those of New Trismus, as well as other elders, out, on the meaning of each path, they choose the Lunus path, mostly because it sounded like the easier, and, to their young mind, better choice. Not that they hated bipeds, but they thought the simple belief in the objective superiority of dragons was all they stood for.

**Adult Rites**

After this time of being on their own, they once again run into Daemonar, who has since completed their rites and ascended first. Using their new found strength, they, and some others (to name a few- Sereamha, Reagle, Callihan, Taysia, Morphaz, etc) help Cyn to the Isle of Draak, where they thank everyone participating for the help while stopped at the chain of isles that link the Eastern Deadlands and the fallen academy. The old path there, before the land bridge was made. They beat the Enslavers, and then fight the Entombed Will itself. Which..due to a few pale hatchling mishaps ends up being extremely difficult - although by some ironic, amusing fate, they had been the last one standing, yet the least experienced, which amused Dae and others quite a lot - but it is done with the combined forces of their friends.

The same can be said the next day for the remainder of their foes, although the battle with Esh on the frozen ponds east of Behemoth Lake would mess them up the most. Mentally, the whole ordeal, mindlashers and all, was a little much for such a young, if determined, hatchling. However, some good came out of this situation - they came out stronger for it, for one, and in addition, Dae had shown them the abandoned frozen tower just north of the Lake, where Kalevala roams. That one would then become one of their dearest hangout spots, where they spend many a time together.

**Ascension**

Finally, high on the Floating Island, Cyn would achieve their adult form. A large gathering was there to see it, friends and strangers they had invited for the joy of it alike, and they were frightened, clutching tightly their Phylactery of Shadows. However, soon enough that only gives way to excitement, and mere moments later they would be soaring out of the blinding, swirling light, and up, up, upwards into the air.

Funny thing for right after, in their hurry, they had left their attunement point to Lerena - and there was no portal back then. So, in a hurry to see the ascension of a couple other friends, they...would do the only 'logical' thing to their young, flight-excited mind, and fly the entire freaking way from Lerena to Dralk. Exhausted but laughing and joyful upon arrival, that would be one of many adventures taken on wings.

**On New Wings**

Things are good for a while. They explore the world still on new found wings (if a small portion of it only, for now), training some more on and off. They and Nightwing attempt something of a partnership, and they care for a couple hatchlings not their own - Purplmoon and Irene. Not that they were in love, or anything..but they thought that is just what you did, when you became an adult dragon. And they were good friends, so it was an easy leap.

Two of their friends, Ledha and Demonwing, also have hatchlings in their care - a clutch of their own, though. Cyn takes a liking to a lot of them, and would even accompany some, such as Shaol, on some mischief adventures.

However, most importantly, they and Dae explore the land. They help clean up a tomb near Bristugo, and they both earn the official title of Grave-Digger, which Cyn was very proud of, especially with the attached memories. They take on many other odd jobs here and there, spending time on the Peninsula and other more hidden places. However, a lot of their time is spent exploring the blight, especially the Eastern Deadlands. They perch on the gate outside Harro (as well as the city itself, often), above the entrance to the blighted lands that Fafnir guarded, often. Their bond only strengthens. It is there that they felt safest, and most free - not because of where they were, although the silence and lack of a buzz felt homely, but because of who they were with. They felt like the two of them could be..truthful with each other. Be honest, and open, and receive only unconditional love in return. The only strange thing was how the blight itself seemed not to bother them - but once again, the smell of rot aside, the vibe itself was probably the biggest culprit. Quiet, lonely, not unlike their frozen tower by the Lake - and buzzing with unknown power and strange energies. Plus, curiosity. Forbidden lands. Somewhere the two of them had, to do nothing but waste days upon days exploring and talking and learning. By themselves, and on fresh wings.

It is important to note none of it had anything to do with the path Cyn would eventually walk down later on, and that they were of sound mind during this, the blight itself not so easy to corrupt unless one willfully opened up to it, actively - but it would be something of an almost funny foreshadowing nonetheless.

**A strange choice, different roads**

On one of the days Dae was off sleeping or just not around, Cyn would have been hanging out in New Trismus. And, by chance alone, would happen upon a small group of dragons - Tarkaras, Starstilanx and Shaol (I THINK it was Shaol. I dont remember it now, and in some really old notes I was already fuzzy on it) - who were heading off to the fields outside town to fight off a blighted dragon, Selarth, who had tortured them previously.

Driven by curiosity - and a genuine hope to help, were the hatchlings about to become hurt - they would follow them, and sure enough, there the drake was. As they really were getting beaten, and having been standing mostly to the side up to that point, in a really stupid fit of creativity and even more morbid curiosity, they would attempt to offer themself instead of the hatchlings, hoping that would somehow either appease him, or give them time to go. That..instead, gets them maimed almost to death, and the hatchlings are hurt badly, running off back into town and finding some elder to help them.

That..would not be the last time they see Selarth, and their curiosity for him would be left there, in the back of their mind.

**A New Family**

Mostly by themself for a while, sometimes sleeping for small bursts, Cyn would work on training to be a good combatant, on learning the lands, on meeting people. One such occasion would be one day upon fighting obsidian golems, when they run into a purple ancient, Lovwyrm - who ends up adopting them into their extended family, as their child.

Another lucky (ish) encounter later, and they would also meet Ceyrax, who turned out to be their new sibling by Lov-association. They did...not like each other too much. Cyn was quite..unhinged and young, and hung out in dangerous, evil places - Cey was a softer sort. Their own wild side more in check.

They also meet Racktor(I THINK. They met this early. I know Cey did but...) at one point, whom they take a liking to as a sort of little brother.

**Ritual**

A strange ritual becomes a pivotal moment of their life. They end up momentarily dying - or..well, almost, it was really pretty inbetween - at one point, and...the forbidden ritual that they end up asking a friend to do (One of Rack's but I cant remember if it was Racky rip), with the help of some...pretty crazy hatchling caster, bringing them back. They are weaker than they had been, and take a while to regain their strength...but in the end, they become more careful, and stronger for it.

(Note: this was my explanation for turning Cyn their current colors/headshape, as it was different before. Im not sure if thats canon anymore, but it might be? I will edit this once I have made up my mind, but have it as a trivia, until then!)

**Alone**

However, while their early adult days were..pretty good, things were not meant to last, in the first of many tragedies in their life. One by one, everyone they knew, Dae included, ends up disappearing under varying circumstances. One by one, they leave Cyn alone. And they had a real hard time coping with that.

Feeling lost, they go back to the one place Dae and them have ever felt safe in, and at home. The Deadlands. They didn't know if they would find their friends and found family there, or they would find their own end. Perhaps the energy there was so loud something in their bones wanted to know more - perhaps a strange pull to danger. Regardless, they go, and eventually, exhausted, fall asleep on a high peak, and do not wake up for quite a number of years, the Deep Sleep holding them in its narrow grasp.

**Together**

They would reawaken years later, and soon enough, they once again run into Dae, who had been asleep as well, and they, too, had freshly reawakened. ..Foolish and still pretty young for a dragon (and young-minded), the two of them end up actually willfully accepting the power and corruption of the blight into themselves, which brings about a new, strange, and dangerous chapter of their lives. Dae had opened up to it first, and Cyn had followed suit, full trust in who they considered their big sibling at the time and also curious of this new, powerful magic. More feral and perhaps sadistic instincts would be emphasized more than normal, and harder to keep a hold of. Although, at least...Dae did calm them, and it made them feel more safe, and less prone to violence while they were close. Regardless, a dangerous decision, obviously.

Still, they were together, and that was all that mattered to them. Spending, most of their time either at the site of the Great Battle or by the Apology in Tazoon, with only the more occasional trip to the deadlands, or to New Trismus, nowadays. The desert had become one of those homely places, away from most civilization, quiet and full of energies older than most other areas. It fit. They would talk to each other for days on end, and fly around, and talk. And they would explore the sandy dunes, as well as hide out there, considering how cruel they had both become to most people that had come across them. It was like..a strange, secret vacation. Not that Cyn needed anyone or anything else. It is in this place and during this time that they would pledge to each to be together, forever, and their bond yet strengthens even more.

Regardless...it was not without its perils. They usually only had close friends come anywhere near them...but sometimes those friends were not always both of their friends. Dae and the elf Niveus would have ended up in a sort of relationship, and Cyn, jealous and fearing they would stop being as close to them, as well as generally already disliked by the elf, was very much not having it. They tagged along with them places, but they bickered a lot, and many times actually had real, dangerous fights. While Dae had acted more restrained around him, seeing him as close, Cyn had...done the opposite. Once, when alone, he tried to outright kill them (to be fair to him, they were definitely a danger in general at that point), but they had instead (temporarily) killed him...and bitten off his casting hand permanently, which would have proven quite inconvenient for a mage. Eventually, he and Dae would part ways, and the biggest reason would be the later's refusal to abandon Cyn.

**Unexpected friends**

Despite the blight and its quite evil impulses,  they still manage to befriend and get close to a few people, including Racktor and Silverblaze, whom they end up growing very close to, despite everything. They end up joining Scions, too, alongside Dae. They also take their nephew in to train, but he, not...quite all there or normal in ability, would end up blowing their lair, leaving Cyn homeless and...pretty pissed. Other people are met, if in passing.

However..this entire period is characterized by malice and torture and deeds they are to this day ashamed of. They end up pretty much at war with some of the good hearted folk of Istaria, even some that were close to Dae. They help the wrong people (although are not particularly great at it), one Azu and the previously encountered Selarth, being some names - and some not so nice others, on more than one occasion. It was harder to just Be when Dae wasn't around, always afraid of being alone and impulsive and curious, and the blight made it harder to cope with issues already present, and harder not to lash out and give in to weirder things.

**Seals and Trials**

Eventually, when Dae comes back again after one of their absences, they would get both themself and Cyn to Dae's father, Magnus, who would (forcefully, at first, but Cyn eventually relents) seal the blight within the two of them. This ends up coming in handy soon, but most importantly, it gives some more clarity back to the both of them.

One day at some point after that, running into Dae in New Trismus, they would end up walking back into town into what was an ambush, laid out by some elders. Hard to tell if Dae had known, but...if they had, they never shared. They go willingly, anxiety helped by Dae being there, and a trial is held to determine whether or not their blight really was gone, and to figure out what to do with them. Dae visits, as well as the adult dragoness Nyoko, who had been nothing but kind to Cyn their entire life, and that did not change. She brought forgiveness. Cyn, to this day, has never forgotten that.

Sadly for the trial-holders, though, what actually ends up happening with their fate is, after the assessment, Dae would sneak into their prison with a magical scale bracelet, which turns one incorporeal. Giving it to Cyn, they escape, leaving Dae behind, who is then released as they no longer wanted them. Dae had already been known to be not a threat anymore, by then. ..The two meet again somewhere on the way to Mahagra, and with the help of an ancient stage their own death, their soul living in Dae's head for a while afterwards. To throw the others off, and show their corpse as proof that they were gone.

There would be a small period where Cyn roamed the more deserted lands of the Empire (sometimes with Dae, sometimes alone), such as when they meet the young furred hatchling Sayaria (whom they adopt as a little sister of sorts), but soon enough the two of them would head off back to the East, to wait out the time.

**The Blighted Lake**

Once again in hiding, and their body then restored, the two dragons would head back to the Eastern Deadlands. They explore areas of it they had not the years prior, some different now, some totally new. They find a lake (nowadays dry) where they end up pretty much living for a good while. They develop a sort of spell/ability where the two are able to speak telepathically, and occasionally even see through the other's mind. Which becomes pretty useful, for the occasional trip here and there.

Dae and Demonwing would become close during this time, and he was allowed to visit, but him Cyn did not mind. He was one of their original companions, after all, anyways. If they trusted Dae near anyone, Demonwing was as good a pick as any. ...Still jealous and in denial of being in love with Dae, but...still. This was better than Niveus, to them. His visits were not unpleasant.

The two eventually take ownership of one of the lairs outside Harro as well, which they would name the Sinful Death, but..that eventually becomes nothing but a memory, as they abandon it - too close to the towns, and the Sleep would be creeping near once again, so they return to the far lands of the blight.

**Cruelty**

Sadly...they would not wake up to their sibling when they do, and would be unable to find them. Once again feeling quite alone, and with the remnant of the blight still inside them (despite the heavy seal, it was still inside - they still had minor blight influence, both in their abilities and their mindset) they would become even crueller than they had been before. Hunting down weak and vulnerable beings, hatchlings in some cases, as well as some who would not put up much of a fight, they would be covered in blood and blight more often than they were not.

Only this time, they were smart, and kept to hidden areas and away from the eye of the public. Most did not know of them, and the ones that remembered, did not know they were even alive, anymore. It went like this for a long, long time, with the occasional deep sleep like nap, and then awakeness.

Still, their friends did not abandon them, as strange as that was. Perhaps they did not know the extent of their cruelty, but they cared for them enough. They would meet new friends as well, such as Arcon, who would become like a younger brother, and others, a big chunk of new friends despite their...lack of restraint.

They do have a few shorter bursts of sleep and miscellaneous adventures on and off, but those are not massively noteworthy, or have been lost to time.

All things must end, however, and after enough time, and during a particularly lonely period of time, the grey dragon falls to the sleep again, exhausted and blood stained.

**A brighter path**

They would wake again a long time afterwards, with Dae at first still missing. But...with all their heart, they end up actually wanting to...feel like they can do good again. They tire of the massacre, and while enjoying games if the person was willing, this, all of this - did not help in the long term. The burst of sleep had cleared their head, a little bit.

LungTien is the first person Cyn goes to, and genuinely convinces to trust them. They had always admired how his heart was always in the right place, and even at their worst, he did not wish to just kill them. He is skeptical at first, and would help them with their remaining blight. It is also he who speaks up for them and assures the others that they are indeed a better person and begin to see their mistakes. Once they...all got over the fact they were not dead, at least.

**Gifts and second chances**

When a training battle that they went into proved to be way too much for them to handle, Cyn finds themself as one of the lucky ones able to come back from the dead. This comes as a shock but also as a second chance from fate itself, so Cyn begins trying their best even more in everything they do. Helping the empire and helping fight the blight, and resupply people, and helping young hatchlings. It takes a long time, but the community that once dreaded and feared them comes to genuinely appreciate them.

There are more random stories and small bursts of sleep, and Cyn works hard for a prolonged period of time to just do their best to help, explore parts of the world, laze about, just..live, pretty much. It's a good, slow period of things..being at least bearable.

Since their hatching, altogether, they end up accumulating quite a number of (very full and incredibly formative) awake years, despite about half of the time or so being spent sleeping. Cyn was a more mature dragon, if still young enough.

Eventually, they find a new drake they end up genuinely in love with, at the same time as Dae returns. Things are well for a while, and they would consider the two of them theirs, but..would still be so blind about their shared loved to Dae. A..long falling out later and they realize it way too late, on top of the others having done their share of mistakes on the topic too, resulting in the three parting ways indefinitely.

Cyn had yet to hurt so bad - and they go back to their cave they had dug near the Apology outside Tazoon, where the two dragons had called home that time so long ago, and thought they would never be apart. And sleeps. A long, long, long sleep, this time around.

**Picking up pieces**

While they sometimes would wake up for brief periods of just walking around their hidden cave and stretching their wings...the sleep always took them back. For a long time. However, they reawaken in a somewhat different Istaria than the one they had left, to a world they no longer know quite so well, and to the task of learning how to Live again, with or without others. Learning even more kindness and patience. They do, however, make new friends! They end up getting close to a potential mate at one point, as well, as much as they are not fully..official yet. Cyn has since come to terms with their heart loving many people often, and relationships are...still hard. They still miss Dae, and they find it unlikely they ever will not. ..But they try. They move forward.

They also meet again with old found family, reconnecting with Dimmae, Silverblaze, and Brale, old connections that are like siblings to the grey still.

That spring, they actually do something they didn't think they'd feel comfortable ever again striving towards. They beat the denizens of the Rift and use their Rune of Ascension - which had been hard won a while previous - and ascend to Ancient in one of their still most important spots, the Apology at Tazoon. They also once again start feeling like they somewhat belong somewhere. They move back to Harro, their home along the years, in Racktor's old lair above the pad. They're quite happy nowadays!

Work is never done, however, as they are currently training in both fighting and craft, working towards better fighting the aegis and helping keep their loved ones safe.

### Ongoing Story

They can currently be found in their lair in Harro (or around the city itself and to the gates), around Chiconis and Dralk (and Drulkar's shrine), or in the desert, and are usually only out and about when they want to socialize. They're always up for landing a paw, despite their tendency to hole up somewhere for longer periods of time. They're training to become as good in their skills as they can!

Additionally fighting the ongoing threat of the strongest creatures in Istaria ((i.e. epic bosses)) and learning their secrets. They also join the guild of Drulkar's Guard, and hope make a change in Dragonkind and the divided way their society has been going lately. While things are quiet, this is perhaps almost good. They needed a time period of their life to just...do repetitive work, and find themself. And they are now ready to go even farther with their life.

Despite their newfound calm, they can still be quite aggressive if a situation calls for it, or snarky if they feel it. However, there is little unnecessary malice, and they are at most cranky. Playfully 'evil' perhaps with close ones, or more instinctual, but never truly harmful if they can help it.

They're trying their best.

## Trivia

-This bio is way too freaking long and I have too much story for this asshole.

-They used to be horrified by giant chickens as a hatchling, but now considers them quite cute.

-They have lost too many and too much over the years for it to not leave some scars. They may retreat into themself if those are poked.

-They have several pets they keep at their lair, except for when their beetle, Dusty, is needed for crafting.

-They are very fond of biped cooking, and strangely of desserts.

-They enjoy arts quite a bit.

-They are a bit of a historian, and have a great affinity to lore.

-They own a scarf they wear around sometimes in the winter. Not that they are cold, but they think they are fashionable.

-They have perfected a spell that lets them shift into their adult form, in much the same way as khutit shifts you, only no physical runes. It's used rarely and doesn't -really- make them adult, but just changes their shape for a time.

-They still have the enchanted scale bracelet that allows them to become immaterial - a ghost, essentially - when worn.

-They have a blighted shining essence orb in a safe place in their scalepack, one of two that they and Dae used to share, with a bit of their respective energies inside. Cyn could never throw away theirs.

-OOCly their name comes from Cynder, because I was 11 when I made them so shush xD ICly they're named after cinders because they're so ashy

-they started out as she/her but since they're so close to me and I'm a trans person (they/them agender masc too hi) they figured out this fits them more during their depression nap in the desert.
