Throne of Bloodstone (Inactive)

Game Master WhtKnt

Kyrie Swiftstrike was not born to be a swashbuckler. In fact, he was born quite poor in the city of Silverymoon and lived with his mother. He was fascinated by magic at a young age, especially that of the High Lady and the other powerful wizards in the city. In fact, he tried to apprentice himself to one of the wizards, but his intelligence was deemed slightly above average and he was rejected a number of times. Giving up on his dream to earn more money to help his mother, fate intervened when one night, he spotted a stranger being assaulted by some drunken thugs. Always a noble creature, Kyrie stepped in front of the cloaked figure to protect him, all of his 3'2" size in meager display. This caused a chuckle to rise from the thugs but a sense of gratitude from the stranger that such a meager creature would defend him. The stranger quickly dispatched the thugs with his rapier with such a skill set the likes of which Kyrie had never seen. He found the stranger's gracious moves so inspiring he apprenticed himself to the man of 40 years, Domenico Cusato, immediately, who took the young impressionable halfling under his wing. Kyrie was allowed to train in any weapon he chose and knowing he would never be a master with the rapier, he chose the scimitar for its curved nature. 10 years later, Domenico passed to the next life and Kyrie lost his master. The witty and extremely charming halfling is now the master, having defeated much evil in the world. He travels the countryside now defending the weak and looking to instruct a student, as he was taught. He lives rather moderately, with only a couple of hundred gold pieces remaining from his life savings. Kyrie realizes he may need to continue adventuring to afford the villa where he will retire.

I posted a pic previously - he is lithe, graceful, and quite charming. He is always joking in battle, trying to demean and unfocus his opponent. He is a noble soul, trying to always help the weak and the oppressed. He is garbed only in ceremonial armor and carries a mirrored buckler on his off-hand. He is quite deadly and graceful in combat.
