Background and concept elements
Cedric H. Dullahan Prince of the Unseelie Court of the Shadowdark
1) Grew up as the heir apparent of the Shadowdark Clan of Shadows. The shadow clans are scattered throughout the Feywilds and each send a (usually) hereditary representative to the Unseelie Court to protect their interests. The clans are prone to great mischief and due to the rather grimdark nature of the court many a prank is carried to far and leads to an untimely demise of some little lordling or another. The ones that survive wind up being extremely... competent Cedric excelled at surviving in this harsh environment.
2) Lacks the vicious nature of most Unseelie Fey. While certainly not posed of the happy go lucky nature of a Seelie Fey he never the less was not quite like his brethren. He would often not retaliate or escalated a conflict in the frequent games of his people. He lacked the vindictive viciousness that so often earmarked them and he hesitated to kill even the most ardent of his enemies. His propensity for mischief is merely the result of attempting to live up to the expectations of the Prince Apparent of his clan.
3) Some years ago found himself in the mortal realm of Vaylen. Assuming this was a test set to him by his family he immediate set about doing what any good Shadow lordling would do: spread Chaos. The authorities did not take kindly to him coming into their towns and messing with all the nice people living there. He quickly found himself on the wrong side of several law enforcement agencies, crime syndicates and governments. The end of the test never came and Cedric found himself stuck on the material plane. For this reason he assumes that anyone he meets is a Fey in disguise evaluating his aptitude for sowing seeds of chaos until proven otherwise. One of these disguised Fey will eventually deem him worthy to return to his home and take his rightful place where he hopes to lead his people to a more peaceful existence.
4) Has been a part an integral part of the pirate ship Arcadia for quite some time. It's Captain harbors no delusions about Cedric and saw right through the mask he wore for years and fooled countless Fey with. The Captain found the creature beneath the mask honorable, loyal and trust worthy and Cedric has never and will never do anything to violate that trust. The rough and disparate crew has become his true family and the only trustworthy friends he's ever had.
5) Will gleefully beat just about anyone into submission usually to within an inch of their life. He will always spare that last inch unless it is absolutely necessary to take it. Remains unseen as much as possible. Be rest assured if you can see him he wants you to see him.
Goals: Character and Personal for the game
1)Above all else Cedric seeks to return to his home in the Feywilds and take his rightful place in the Unseelie court where he can than hopefully guide his people and other fey to a more peaceful and orderly way of life.
2) I hope to do crazy things with the crew of the Arcadia. Steal things that allegedly can't be stolen. Fight battles we cant possibly hope to win and then win. Do the impossible and kick reason to the curb. Nothing big really.
Secrets: 1 Known to me 2 Not known to me one of which is made up by the DM
1)When he was a boy Cedric was forced to kill a Shadow boy a few years younger than him as part of a rivalry between the two families. It is the reason Cedric loathes to take life unnecessarily. He has never forgotten the look in his eyes. The senselessness of his death. It haunts him to this day and every time he is forced to kill he sees that boy's eyes again. He has thus far mentioned this to no one.
2) Cedric believes the years he spends in the mortal realm are his final test to prove him worthy of leading his clan of Fey shadows. In actuality he was already deemed unworthy. Lacking the nature necessary to be an unseelie fey. As a kindness he was exiled instead of killed. There will never be any Fey who seek him out to return him home. He has been passed over in the order of succession his name struck from the annals of his people.
3) Secret made up by the DM about me
People Known: 2 Friendly 1 Hostile
1)Phantom F. Harlock the Third Cedric Encountered Harlock for the first time in a Crime Syndicate warehouse filled with illegal mana potions. Harlock there to destroy them for the good of all people, Cedric because he hadn't messed with that particular crime syndicate yet. Cedric's guise as an agent of chaos did not fool Harlock for even a moment. When the operation went south Cedric was instrumental in ensuring that all of the crew of the Arcadia made it out safely. Harlock invited him to join the crew shortly after.
2)
3) Dessan McFerron. Chief of Police of Rayne. Rayne was one of the first places Cedric wandered into on his world chaos tour. He built up quite the rap sheet including but not limited too: 4 counts of Arson, 9 counts of Pretty Larceny, 2 counts of Grand Larceny, 192 counts of Assault and Battery, 563 counts of Public Disturbance, 12 counts of Destruction of Public Property, and 1 count of Loitering. For these reasons McFerron will stop at nothing to bring Cedric to justice. The mere thought that he has gotten so far out reach maddens him daily. The menace to society that is Cedric must be brought to justice
Step 5: Quirks, Mannerism, Memories, Flavor
1) Cedric does not like to remain still at any time. He moves constantly whether it's pacing, cracking various joints in his body, aerial loop de loops round the ship or simply running laps top deck.
2) Has a rather twisted obsession with "falling" off anything high up to witness the reaction of any onlookers. Due to the fact that his wings are concealed and he isn't a mage people are shocked to witness what they think is a suicide, especially when he disappears mid flight.
