About Ryzel Cain
Fragments of memories. Like shards of a shattered mirror. Only a half-second's frozen glimpse of a life once lived, an identity, now nothing but disjointed moments that do not seem to construct a whole.
Flash: A child, thin, dark-haired, crying, no older than six. A woman, older, stone-faced, gripping the child's hair in a firm hand. Her other holds a heavy-duty metal file. Ry, stop squirming. They have got to come off. You'll understand when you're older.
Flash: A youth, gangly and tall, a lopsided cloth hat atop their head. The youth lurks in a doorway, watching the tavern's crowd with guarded eyes, flinching back in the shadows of the doorway if any happen to glance their way... but few do. They listen. The gossip in the city to-night is... interesting. Perhaps even profitable... to the right set of ears.
Flash: The figure is lanky and dressed in drab clothes of non-descript browns and gray. Only the slightly jaunty angle of the hat atop their head bespeaks any sort of fashion. The figure moves around the edges of the marketday buyers with a certain grace, side-stepping the fingers of an enterprising urchin and giving the would-be pickpocket a sharp glance before moving on. They stop at a book-seller's, and emerge with a lighter coin purse but several volumes they clutch close to their chest. Dinner will be.... lacking, but between an empty stomach and the empty mind, this person elects to fill the latter.
Flash: The man? or woman? settles at a table across from several burly and surly looking individuals, whose scars and builds suggest they're used to a life of violence. Without preamble, the lanky figure says, "My payment, please."
The biggest of the big men scowls. "What's to stop me from just beating you bloody and taking the damn papers, Cain?"
The air is tense, but the lanky figure doesn't flinch. "Nothing. You could do that. But it wouldn't get you the copy of them that I made. Which is sitting in an Abadar bank vault. That, you only get tomorrow. And after I've been paid."
The tense silence stretches, but the partial memory stops there, with no resolution to be seen.
(I'm aware my character may not remember any of these scenes, ever, and certainly won't at first-- they're just there to help OOC establish the character.)
