Love Life (Optional):

Bio: Cyrus was born to a modest family, his father a merchant of weaponry and his mother a journalist for the local newspaper. He enjoyed what few luxuries his parents could afford, and he had his share of responsibilities. Well, he was happy. He ran papers to houses when the presses were low on paper boys, and helped his father demonstrate new tools. The smell of ink and smoke was constantly about him, and when he became of age and felt ready to tackle the world he had to wave farewell to his parents, secretly of course. He had a dream-like view of adventure, fueled by dime novels and tales he’d hear from the travelers that buy from his father. So it was no doubt he'd shove off on the first boat he could find.

Love Life: NONE

Bio: Born of the same elf Kingdom as Kichi, he is near-immortal, and thus will take thousands more years to die of natural causes. He and Kichi are cousins, with Kichi a week and a half older. While Kichi was born into the Royal Family, Shinkon was born into the guardian family, or the Royal Guard. Though they were in separate classes that would normally be very respectful, they became extremely good friends, in fact, the best friends they had. But, at the age of 5, Kichi revealed his abnormal abilities of quick learning, adeptness in almost every aspect of magic, and his ability to move between worlds. As soon as the world found out about this, they ordered Kichi to be killed, as there was a rebellion going on, and they couldn’t let him fall into their hands, not matter what. But Kichi fled, and was chased for 7595 years before he erased his own memory, as he had found out that memory is a major portion of what makes your soul, which is how they were tracking him, and thus wiped his soul clean of anything they could track him by. But, seeing as they didn’t realize this, they figured he had found a clever way to hide from them while he gained power to destroy them. No one knew of the fact that Kichi remembered nothing, and thus could bear no grudges. Much later, the Heartless came to Shinkon and Kichi’s homeworld. The invasion took years, and during that time, there was much speculation that Kichi had brought them to the world for revenge, and as Shinkon didn’t have much memory of Kichi, he believed that’s what had happened, having grown up with everyone talking about the evil and destructive Kichi, thus that being all he really knew. When the world was finally destroyed, he found his own way of moving between worlds, using a barrier spell as a gummi ship, and set out, vowing revenge for his world. When his world was restored, and he was sent back, he set out to make sure Kichi wouldn’t repeat the procees, not knowing that it couldn’t be repeated, due to lack of knowledge of the events that caused everything. He will stop at nothing to destroy Kichi, even attacking Kichi’s friends.

Bio:

Abandoned by his mother at the front gates to one of the largest Mosques in Agrabah, Malik was raised in the Muslim place of worship by the Imams who led the Call to Prayer five times a day. He could still recall the eerie feeling he felt as a young boy when the Imams would chant the prayer over loud speakers that echoed throughout the city. They thought him how to read and write by using verses from the Qu’ran and soon after that he began to memorize and live according to the word. The boy showed such great potential, but he always felt out of place. It could’ve been because none of the men were his father or because the Mosque never had that “welcome home” feeling. But it was something much deeper, almost like a calling. A destiny.

At the age of twelve, Malik ran away from the Mosque and lived on the streets for awhile until he found an abandoned apartment. Sooner or later a growing boy has to eat, and with no money he resorted to stealing. Eventually, it became like second nature to him and as the years passed he only got better at it, but his skill was not left unacknowledged. Malik was approached by a group of thieves only recognized by the strange crest burned onto the palms of their right hand. In no time, he was initiated and marked. It was fun… for awhile until that day changed everything.

The plan was perfect… No one was supposed to die. They didn’t take account she’d actually fight back. Leila was her name… Malik will never forget her… or her face. It was almost like staring into the eyes of a child as he pulled his dagger out of her stomach. She had torn off one of their masks as an attempt to defend herself. If they had allowed her to live she would’ve surely identified one of them. What came next was even worse.

The sun had set and they all had returned to the enclave outside of Agrabah where they celebrated in their success. Suddenly, there was a yelp from outside, then the sound of steel being withdrawn. Clashing and screaming, the sound of ripping flesh had never been louder… or messier. Wave after wave, no one stood a chance against this man. He even slaughtered the women and children! The man cried out in heartbreak and rage, screaming the name of his dead wife, Leila. Allah had sent down His judgment for the crime they had committed in a shape of a man with an unquenchable thirst for blood. It was as if staring at the Devil himself. Malik hid, something he became use to over the years… He hid beneath his fallen brothers, pretending to be dead. He watched with fearful eyes at the massacre that lasted all night…

Finally, when the sun rose, the man had finished and a sword he had never seen before appeared within the sand. The man took it and for a brief moment Malik felt a dark presence fill the air. When the coast was clear, he crawled out from beneath the bodies and after glancing at the horrific sight before him, he took off back to the city walls and hid once again in that abandoned apartment he found all those years ago.

Bio:

July 23rd
I’ve just returned from my son’s funeral. My wife is in the other room, bawling and I don’t know how to comfort her. Can I comfort her? Our only son was taken from us… I wish I were more open with my feelings like her. Maybe I wouldn’t feel so heavy inside… I wish I could go back… Back to the day he died. I’d pull him away from the ledge and keep him close beside me like I should’ve. I turned around for just a few seconds and that’s all it took. A stranger walked by and accidentally bumped into my son just hard enough to push him over the edge and into the water below. He didn’t know how to swim and by the time I realized what had happen, it was too late. He washed up on the other side of town… I should’ve paid attention.

July 24th
My wife has been acting strange lately… She’s been quiet and unresponsive. She hasn’t gotten out of bed since we returned from the funeral. I’m beginning to get concerned. I’ve called the doctor and he should be here any moment now.

The doctor left just now. There’s nothing seriously wrong with my wife. The doctor believes its just trauma caused by the loss of our son. He said only time could cure her right now.

July 25th
Things with my wife haven’t improved much. She’s moving around now, but she’s still unresponsive. There are moments where I catch her staring at the knives in the kitchen, but once she realizes I’m staring, she looks away.

July 26th
It’s 3:15 in the morning. I woke up to my wife screaming beside me. I managed to calm her down for now, but I fear this is only going to get worse.

August 1st
I’ve just returned from my wife’s funeral… I found her hanging in the closet a week ago. I’ve lost everything I ever loved in this life.

August 2nd
It’s 1:20 in the morning… I haven’t slept yet, nor do I have the desire to… I write this with a gun in my mouth, but I can’t bring myself to pull the trigger… I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

August 5th
I slowly feel myself distancing myself from society. Noise, children, people… they’re slowly becoming a nuisance in my life. I feel angry and sad all the time. I don’t know if I could continue living like this. I need hope… something… I wish I didn’t feel this way.

August 6th
There’s hope! I met an old man in the market place today as I was gathering groceries. He was quite old, probably in his 70’s. He had no hair except for on the sides of his head and that wasn’t much. He was blind in both eyes and had no teeth. He had a hump on his back and walked with a limp, using the cane he held for support. I could sense this man was very wise… or very crazy… But he spoke about my situation and promised me a way to bring the dead back from the grave. He agreed to teach me at no cost. I have an appointment with him later today.

The session went well. Unfortunately he can’t see me anymore, but he gave me this book to study and learn. The more I learn, the more interested I become. The idea of controlling life and death is exhilarating! The old man calls this Necromancy.

September 10th

It’s been over a month… The more I read, the more I want to grasp this power. Unfortunately, I don't have the capability to learn any of these techniques. The more I think about it, this book sounds more and more like a fairy tale, but it's all this desperate man has. I fear this search for hope is taking me down a dark and corrupted path. I might lose sight of why I even began this journey in the first place and exchange it with this search for power.
