Appearance:

Kyson Tirc's Taldon features are hard to miss...the dark hair, beady brown eyes, and mucky complection hint to the strength of his lineage. Sadly, Kyson's skin tone and lack of muscle tone gives even stronger hints that he has spent too much time inside and not enough time exploring the world or doing much of anything besides his calligraphy and scroll work.

While he stands close to 6' tall, he cannot be considered imposing or forceful by appearance. The scale armor he wears with the heavy wooden shield is necessitated more by his need to hide and protect himself than it is about martial prowess.

In the monastery, Kyson would happily be wearing his clerical vestments if he owned them. As it stands now, Kyson's holy symbol hangs prominently around his neck is the biggest sign of Kyson's connection to Sarenrae.

Kyson has three weapons of note (a rusty scimitar, an unused whip, and a cutting knife), but none of them show any sign of heavy use, sharpening or care save for the cutting knife. Kyson will tell others that he's been trained to fight with the scimitar, but those lessons have long been forgotten.

Kyson's hands are frequently (at least when he's in the monastery) stained by the inks of his trade.

Background:

Kyson's last argument with his superior didn't go over very well....*at all*.

As it turned out, his superior *did* have the authority to *make* him do stuff. The point was made especially well when his superior had him scribe his Vow of Obedience 100 times until he really understood his obligations to the Church of Sarenrae.

Kyson didn't mind the scribing. He *loved* scribing and calligraphy, but was much less excited about the results of the reminder: he had to leave his quiet and peaceful monastery and go *do* something.

Kyson didn't mind doing lotsa stuff. He liked scribing, and copying, and calligraphy, and reading, and not leaving the monastery. In fact, one of Kyson's favorite things was not leaving the monastery. That all changed after the argument with the supervisor who felt that Kyson was wasting his life doing what he enjoyed in service of the goddess he loved. Sadly, this priest seemed to want more from Kyson.

"AND DO *NOT* COME BACK UNTIL YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING!" Were the exact words given by his superior as they booted him right out the front door. For his part in the debacle, Kyson regrets all the crying and wailing he did at the front door, begging to be let back in.

They didn't let him back in and despite his promises to do something next week, Kyson found himself leaving anyway after a few days of sleeping out in front of the monastery. At least he was given a place to start: the names of some friends of the Sarenraen Order to seek out: Verik and Larissa Vanderboren.

* * * *

Carrying all his possessions that he has the in world, Kyson's first big trip alone into the city had gone pretty well. To date, he had not been mugged, nor torn apart by demons, nor eaten by kobolds. He did find himself running away from a particularly evil looking black cat (It had yellow eyes!), but otherwise his journey had been quite peaceful.

In fact, most people seemed to greet him nicely and treat him well. It might have been the prominent holy symbol on his upper chest or the fact that he didn't look rather threatening. He never mentioned that he scimitar at his waist was mostly for show (it had never been swung in anger) or that his armor had never been tested.

Of course upon reaching town, Kyson's plans had gone drastically awry with the untimely deaths of Verik and Larissa Vanderboren. He had no idea what to do next. Kyson searched his copy of Sarenrae's The Birth of Light and Truth to see if there were any good answers of what to do next. Sadly, reading the text just made him sad as he remembered how much he loved to make calligraphied copies of book back in "the good ol' days".

Without any good answers, Kyson slowly walks into the Standing Stone Park in the city’s Sunrise District to pay his respects to the two nobles he never met nor received help from. He is attending the funeral because the lacks any other options. He needs to *do* something.
