Cycen stands quite tall, with dark skin and thin, golden eyes. His arms are lightly muscled compared to some others, with his knuckles drawing roughly level with his knees, and he regards most things around himself with curiosity bordering on wonder. His body bears a colossal number of minor scars, but none are particularly wide - coming from training cuts, rather than wounds.
He is generally quite serious, but is not unhappy; being fairly upbeat in a casual setting. He wasn't raised in a particularly pleasant or safe place, and despite that he chooses not to talk about his family he willingly bears their name.

Story[]
Cycen's mother lives among the ruins of the Old Kingdom in the valley floors of the wastes. She is a swordmaiden of some repute and was, fifty or so years ago, an outlaw; she fled to the wastes to escape judgement, and as of the time Cycen left - barely a year ago - she was still alive.
She taught him to proficiency with the urumi in either hand, and he holds her in high esteem, in part for her prowess. He chooses not to name her due to her past, not wanting to stir up any trouble, and he has never met others of the tir Machen family.
Cycen knows his father's given name - Oric - but not his family name. He's not particularly torn up over it but he does hope to meet his father or someone who knew him one day, to see what kind of man he is or was.
Equipment and Possessions[]
I'LL STAT THIS SHIT LATER
Urumi (Exotic, Light, One-handed) - Seeming like he's wearing a sword grip with no blade, the urumi instead uncoils from around his abdomen, revealing six long blades hammered so thin as to be whiplike. Cycen wields it with wide swinging and spinning motions, augmented by the length of his arm, to effect a deadly whirlwind of harsh, cutting steel. These weapons were not entirely uncommon in the Old Kingdom, or so his mother tells him; though the secret of their making is seemingly long dead.
Brigandine Vest (Light Armor, Torso) - A vest made from two layers of thin leather, with metal plates riveted between them. It is covered in scratches and scuffs, but is still in overall quite good condition.
Leather Gauntlets (Light Armor, Main Hand, Off Hand) - A pair of simple leather gloves extending nearly to his elbows, with metal plates riveted to the outside - made with the same method as his brigandine, but without the external layer of leather. Between these and his vest, his upper arms are unarmored.
Cycen wears simple pants, boots, and a white shirt under his vest; he also carries a satchel slung about himself, containing general living supplies such as rations, water, spare clothes and items for maintaining his urumi and brigandine.
