During my last gaming session, the storyteller suggested we each have back-up character concepts for the next chapter in our game; something about a good chance of a few of us not making it through alive. I'm currently playing the tank (Full Moon Lunar) in a party of characters who like to pick fights with people bigger than themselves and but don't like to get their hands dirty (possibly why we all need back-up characters). The character will have approximately 200 experience with which to start. So, I present to you Cynis of the Burnt Woods, my back-up character.
Background: (WIP; it is a back-up character)
- childhood under construction; probably involves burning a forest during my exaltation (oops)
I was a bodyguard for Solars during the First Age and fought on their side during the Usurpation (at least one of them a current party member). In the final days of the Usurpation, when I knew all hope was lost and my fellow Dragon Blooded bore down upon us, I was pulled outside of fate, but not before I watched my charge(s) die. I was held, suspended, outside of fate (Elsewhere?). I was 'reinserted' into fate a year ago (less time?), with only a vague sense of what had transpired in my absence, and took off to find my charge(s). I have recently found him/her/them (party member(s)) and taken back my position as their protector and am working with them to restore the Solars to their rightful place as rulers of Creation.

* Yes, character generation was fudged slightly; if I ever use him, the books will be balanced more precisely.
