Appearance:
A medium-height olive skinned human with metallic blue eyes. A faint tracery of black thread-like wires can be seen beneath the surface of his skin. These meet at a point in the centre of his forehead, where there is a circular gridded disc, about 1” across. This is usually hidden underneath his headdress. He has no hair anywhere, on his body or on his head.
He wears a loose orange robe with a dark blue under tunic and black hide boots. The robe envelops his entire head like a mantle, leaving only his face uncovered. The robe also forms a wide-brimmed convex hat extending out to his shoulders. The hat can be folded away into the mantle, but he never removes the mantle in public.
His bow is slung on his back, along with a quiver of 12 arrows. His blade-staff is in a shoulder sheath. He wears a belt pouch to carry other items
Bio:
One day, Sica awoke with the knowledge that he had been created and raised for a purpose. He was to search out and activate all the Marker Stones located in the capital cities of the Nine Kingdoms of the Steadfast. His first task, however, was to locate the first marker, the Keystone, in the tunnels beneath Bodrov. He did so and was granted the power to locate the other Marker Stones. Why he was doing this was a mystery though; but he was driven to do it. It was also made clear that he was the only one who could activate the Stones.
He travelled throughout the Nine Kingdoms, seeking out and activating the Stones. He had many encounters along the way; he met up with his long-term travelling companions, the twin brothers Lorn and Dorn. He found loyalty, Lorn and Dorn risked their lives to save him from the Zhev in Qi and he learnt the meaning of betrayal when he abandoned them to the Kline Knives in the City of Bridges. He found that many people knew of his quest and that not all of them wanted him to succeed. The mysterious Lady Lissia, who he, along with Lorn and Dorn, first met in Qi, seemed to be acting as a guardian angel; turning up to help him when needed. He gained more clues about his purpose; the Marker Stones had to be activated in order to prevent a cataclysmic event; this was linked to the mysterious Red Star that had appeared in the sky and was being observed by many scholars across the world. He discovered that he awoke in Bodrov on the day that the Aeon Priests in the Durkhal first sighted the Red Star and that he was a Construct of the Order of the Stars.
The final encounter took place in the city of Orrila, in Milave. In a chamber deep beneath the city was the final Marker Stone. As Sica entered, from another entrance came Dorn, armed and ready to kill him. Lissia was a Nibovian Wife and had been using Sica to ‘recruit’ suitable mates. Lorn died battling his child, an Abykos, and Dorn was severely injured. The death of his twin drove him insane and he intended to stop thwart Sica at the end. They fought and Dorn was getting the upper hand when the Abykos that killed Lorn arrived; unable to differentiate between the two brothers, it had decided to kill both. While Dorn fought the Abykos, Sica activated the Stone.
With a tremendous noise, earthquakes racked the world as ancient engines awoke. The full energy of the Sun was harvested and stored, then released. The entire planet twisted ninety degrees into another plane; one which had no Sun. The Red Star, a rogue planet whose orbit had been tracked and predicted millennia ago by the Order of the Stars; plunged through the space the Earth had occupied and continued its headlong fall into the Sun. The capacitors discharged again, rotating the Earth back.
Sica stood in the chamber beneath Orrila. Next to him was a lump of half-melted stone; he felt he ought to know what it was, but his memory was patchy. There were huge gaps in it; he knew he had a purpose and a destiny to fulfil, but couldn’t remember what it was. At his feet lay a man he didn’t know; torn to pieces by something. Across the chamber was a woman; something suggested she might be incredibly beautiful.
“Goodbye Sica.” She blew him a kiss. “We may meet again. Remember; I would never hurt you, you are too useful and, frankly, you’re not my type.”
Current:
Sica is a biological construct built for a purpose. Maybe he should have died or self-destructed once that purpose was achieved; the reality is that he didn’t. Now he is seeking a goal in order to justify his existence. Once he finds that goal, he will pursue it.
Interaction:
Sica is seeking a goal, something to follow and believe in. Once he has this then he will do everything in his power to achieve the goal. The problem is that everything becomes secondary to the Goal (this is why Lorn and Dorn were abandoned to the Kline Knives; Sica had to choose between rescuing them or activating the Marker Stone.)
