so jump and i'm jumping
since there is no me without you.❞— MEDICAL.
There's something beneficial to being both a killer for hire and a model: the training regimes leave one's body sculpted but lean enough for the cover of Vogue. Standing at 6'0 (and 1/2 inches, which Cyrus will not hesitate to let you know about), Cy boasts a well developed physique fitted with muscular tone. He has a softer face, similar to one that you might find on a boy next door. Deep honey-chocolate brown irises are set into quizzical eyes with a strong brow bone centering his face. Cyrus's eyes are often always crinkled in a smile and matched with a shit-eating grin. Compared to his twin brother, Samuel, there are not many physical similarities one would see off the bat besides their often overflowing aura of joy. Barring differences in their hair and eye color, they both have relatively angular face shapes and strong, squared off jawlines, as well as thick, full hair and a button-y nose.
Off the clock, Cy can be seen in relatively simple man's clothes. There isn't anything flashy or significant about his outfits; in fact, they often scream "californian coast boy". If he did not have a public status of a model, Cy would easily blend in with his graphic t-shirt and jeans. On his left arm, he has the Pisces brand adorned with various astrological symbols. He has debated getting more, but as a model it is difficult to justify impulsive tattoos. Cyrus wears a specific necklace unless told to remove it for modelling gigs. It's a simple gold chain with an identifying dog tag (he forced Sam to get one as well, in the event that they die they could find each other) that spells his name, birthday, and on the back an inscription of "and until the very end, i see half of me with you".
- 02— PSYCHE.
There's not much that can irritate Cyrus. Well, if we were to be honest, for the relaxed and carefree pisces, many things can set him off. He doesn't take insults lightly nor does he disrespect. That is, disrespect to each other or themselves. But simultaneously he is perfectly content with calling out others on their bluff and he is often very blunt when doing so. Cyrus doesn't really understand social cues very easily and regresses to a childish perspective on life. He acts on instinct mainly, taking every insult and comment to heart. Outwardly, he poses a very amiable aura and charismatic personality, often unintentionally flirting with those who do not know how to see through his flowery speech. Cyrus would come to your aid in a heart beat if he figured you were worth the effort, which is an easy standard to fall under as he finds everyone worth his time. He would happily play therapist and listen to you bear your deepest insecurities, and works tirelessly to ensure that you have a friend in him.
But Cy is also... a liar.
Like most Pisces stereotypes, Cyrus does not like intensity and drama. He's rather sensitive and any confrontation is difficult for him. In regards to the people he does not like, he would rather despise them behind closed doors. On the surface he will pretend most things are fine (besides the constant underhanded jabs that he releases his frustration through) and will do what it takes to make sure drama does not stir. He says that he does not lie, and yet he does keep things covered and lie to protect his dirty secrets. Cyrus is persistent on being true and genuine when comforting others or being a good friend, but in large groups where he needs to take a stance, he will shield himself and those he's involved with under a blanket of white lies.
On the job, the kindheartedness flips and something far darker takes precendence in his actions. It's more so of a coping mechanism than his true colors coming to play. Rather than being fueled with evil spite it is curiosity. As established, Cyrus acts on impulse, so he will often experiment and toy with his targets to see what will happen. There is rarely consistency in his kills, something that stems from the erratic, psychotic persona he takes on. He can smile and ask you about your favourite color while committing vile acts of torture. Unlike some of his co-workers, he does feel immense remorse for those he kills. But the grief is eventually dissolved with some self-made justification for why someone had to die by his hand.
— VOCATIONAL.
Behind the silver lining of Cyrus's lively ambience, he hosts some rather deadly strengths and modus operandi:
• UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL: Cyrus is not afraid to get intimate with his victims. While some of his co-workers enjoy maintaining distance with their kills in terms of bombing, shooting, etc. Cyrus will get his hands dirty in a good fight. He loves the thrill of kicking people around and being in the moment with close combat. However, he is rarely hit, being one of faster hand coordination and movement. It's fun to for him to dance around his victims in a violent waltz, usually with him armed with a knife or some form of spear.• SEE YOU THERE WITH A SMILE: At first glance, there is nothing alarming about Cyrus. He is charming and suave in all the right moments, which makes him an easy pick for luring female targets away. His physique promises a lot to all who may find his gender attractive, something he is well aware and capable of using to his advantage in the field.• CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT: Cyrus is nothing more than an overgrown child at times, and as such often executes unconventional methods of satiating his curiosity. This particular indifference to gore allows him to be the most extreme mutilator and torturer, although not the most efficient since he takes his sweet time. His victims are often left irrecognizable unless dental records are used for identification.• IT TAKES A LOT TO BRING ME DOWN: Being a larger man, it takes more effort to subdue him. For this reason he is often sent out as the brawn of the group to take the first few hits and tire targets out. Pain is less pronounced with him, a sensitivity allowed only in the most gruesome injuries.• PAINTED LIKE A FRENCH GIRL (MAIN M.O.): Cyrus-kills are best noted by the way his bodies are left for police to find. After playing around with his bodies, he slowly drains victims of a decent amount of blood. With gloved hands he paints upon his victims with their own blood, usually as a form of ritual to keep his mind at peace. Targets are usually still alive at this point, but will bleed to death shortly after he is finished. Designs are usually kept to the face, although some will travel down to the shoulders and arms if he finds he has the time. The floor is his palette, and bodies are his canvases.- examples of his paintings: [x][x][x]To complement his array of strengths, Cyrus does have some weaknesses:
• MISTER SURGICAL CUT ME OPEN: The main reason why Cyrus's victims are slow to die is because he doesn't have any form of medical knowledge. He hits where he wants to hit, cuts where he wants to cut. It's a small liability if he leaves his victims before ensuring they are/will die, but considering his brute force and torture it's an unlikely event.
• TINY THINGS, TINY PROBLEM: WAnything that requires intense concentration and detail work is off the works for Cyrus. He likes to focus on the bigger picture, thus is why coordinated attacks are not his forte. Events of high stress like bomb-building or crucially timed operations make him freeze unless he has the plan drilled into his head.
If he really doesn't have the time, Cyrus will opt for a stabbing and drowning whenever possible. Other M.O's would be dousing his target and surrounding area in gasoline and lighting it on fire, but those types of kills are not favorable.
- 03❝how the most dangerous thing is to love
how you will heal and you rise above❞— HISTORY.
Samuel and Cyrus Blake were born into an extremely religious, cult-like family off the coast in Canada. Their parents, Sasha and Raoul Blake, were fanatic Christians who believed in letting the power of God guide their pregnancy. They chose not to find out about the baby's gender nor how many children they were going to have before birth, which undoubtedly led to some issues in their family. See, Sasha and Raoul were not of much wealth, but they did wish for a child to continue their bloodline. One can imagine the surprise that came when not one son but two arrived on February 26th. Samuel was born first, the golden son and deemed "proper one", Cyrus 6 minutes later.
Cyrus was a relatively sickly child growing up, a runt in comparison to his twin brother. The weakling, the unwanted one, their parents thought him of a curse. After all, he was the cause of their strained budget, their piling hospitalization fees, their golden son being succeptible to illness. They thought that they could cure their children of evil by putting them through religious camps after religious camps, forced confessions, pastor boys, choir singers. Nothing but suffering bestowed itself upon the twins. Eventually the parents found it their duty to take things into their own hands, executing homemade exorcisms and repent in the basement. Cyrus always took the brunt of the torture, being the son who was tainting the family. Samuel had tried his best to protect his brother, but there was only so much they could do.
There was one night where they did more than they expected, however. Cyrus had been locked into the bathroom, forced to clean until his hands burned from ammonia as a way to cleanse his body of sin. When he had nearly passed out, his mother came into the bathroom to check on the progress, followed by Samuel. Seeing his brother on his hands and knees, leaning on the side of a bathtub filled with hot, but dirty and chemically infused water for support, his mother's hands raised in attack, something had snapped. Samuel barreled into their mother, pushing her into the bathtub. Even in his weakened state, Cyrus was in a position to defend himself, and this was the only chance he took to do so. Twins side by side, drowned their mother in chlorinated water with nothing but revenge lighting their eyes. They left a message for their father, who had come home to a dead wife a few days later: do not look for us or you will face the same fate.
The brothers earned every penny to their name, putting themselves into college after working at a local butcher shop. Midway through their sophomore year of college, the butcher shop closed and money became tighter than ever. Jointly they decided to put a college education on pause and seek ways to make ends meet. And so begins their life at STARS, the seemingly "catchless" opportunity.
- 04─ NOTABLE CONNECTIONS.
SAMUEL MATTHEW BLAKE | 21 | STATUS: ALIVE Samuel is the first person that Cyrus bonded with, and for obvious reasons. The two were joint at the hip as children, and still are. Cyrus puts his brother above anyone else and would not hesitate to risk his own life for Samuel. They made a pact early on to ensure no one would come between them, regardless of the temptation. Cyrus trusts Samuel with his life and is often seen as extremely dependent on his brother. He hates feeling apart from Samuel and is sensitive to the changes in their dynamic. Having lived together for so long, neither brother are uncomfortable with showing their love for each other.
FREYA MADDEN | 19 | STATUS: ALIVE It is difficult to say what is going on between Cyrus and Freya. Unlikely friends from the start, they have a questionable dynamic that no one really saw coming. Freya was distant and impersonal, unafraid to use charms to get ahead, and Cyrus was bubbly and loving, open armed to all who treated him with an inkling of kindness. These polar attributes could be what pushed them together, but are also one of the many reasons why they pull apart. They have a deep, unbreakable bond of friendship and perhaps something more, but Cyrus refuses to let their relationship go public for Samuel's sake. Sam isn't a big fan of Freya at all, and Cyrus would drop Freya for his brother in a heartbeat.

— PLAYLIST.
INTRO III — NF It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams //
And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet //
You don't like the prison I built you?
Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is?
You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger,
But we've been together since you were a kid, yeah //
"Is it me or the fear talkin'?"
Ha! What a dumb question!
Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right?
Yeah, ain't that the slogan //
you don't like bein' afraid?
It's a dose of your own medicine
What, you don't like how it tastes? //
I wish I was buryin' anger,
But both of us know I'ma need him for that song //
'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time,
But I'm the one holdin' the keys
ACHILLES COME DOWN — GANG OF YOUTHS The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth //
Where you go
I'm going
So jump and I'm jumping
Since there is no me without you //
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive //
Just put down the bottle
Don't listen to what you've consumed
It's chaos, confusion
And wholly unworthy
Of feeding and it's wholly untrue //
You want the acclaim
The mother of mothers
More poignant than fame
Or the taste of another //
Throw yourself into the unknown
With pace and a fury defiant
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
And see life as a means to a triumph
CONTROL — ZOE WEESEarly in the morning I still get a little bit nervous
Fightin' my anxiety constantly, I try to control it
Even when I know it's been forever I can still feel the spin
Hurts when I remember and I never wanna feel it again //
I can't express how thankful I am
That you were always with me when it hurts, I know that you'd understand //
'Cause even though I'm older now and I know how to shake off the past
I wouldn't have made it if I didn't have you holding my hand //
I need you to know, I would never be this strong without you
You've seen how I've grown, you took all my doubts, 'cause you were home //
