I have no family per say... so here's my personal RP story.
It was a stormy night when Captain Ghost Pirate and his crew pillaged and destroyed the town of Leylade. One of the men, named Armored Ear by his fellow crewmates, took a woman of the town as his "prize." After shoving her in his cavern he celebrated with his fellow pirates. A few days passed by until Armored Ear finally returned to his cabin. As he opened the door he was taken back from a horrid stench. He saw a newborn elf, lying on the floor motionless next to his mother, who was dead from the birth. Armored Ear picked up the child and as he held it in his arms, the child opened its eyes and began to move. Armored Ear raised the child as his own, keeping it a secret from his fellow pirates. He found a pendant on the mother, placed it around the newborn’s neck and placed a bandana on his head to cover its pointy ears.
It wasn’t until the child was age eight when Armored Ear introduced him to the Pirate Crew. He didn’t tell any of them that he helped raised the kid, just that he found him and that he was interested in following the ways of the pirates. The pirates were very accepting of the kid, and named him Kyden due to the pendant that he wore around his neck. Kyden grew up with the Pirates and grew close to two pirates who were around his age, Peg Leg and Dragus Caur. Kyden had a fairly normal childhood, as normal as it could be for someone growing up on a ship with Pirates. He quickly became just as ruthless as the others around him. Kyden, Peg Leg, and Dragus became well respected in the Pirate Crew, as they grew older.
One morning while Kyden was putting on his bandana, which until this time had always hid his pointed ears, Peg Leg burst into his room to discover his secret. Kyden was immediately forced to walk the plank and explain himself. Kyden and Armored Ear stood silent. Peg Leg charged at Kyden and perhaps hoping to impress Captain Ghost Pirate, sliced the right side of Kyden’s face. Soon after, sparks flew from Kyden’s fingers and his previously tied hands were now free. This was the first time Kyden’s Elven powers manifested themselves. With his free hands he quickly grabbed Peg Leg’s sword, made his way gracefully through the pirates to Armored Ear and skillfully detached his earring. With that Kyden dove into the dark sea. To this day Kyden still wears the earring.
A tired and weary Kyden found himself on the shores of the kingdom Tyealia where he met the King, Vulcan Le Fey. Vulcan took a liking to the young boy and was sympathetic. Kyden spent a few months in the city of the clouds, refining some of his crude ways and studying various texts. Yet his stay was short-lived as the Curons soon demolished Tyealia. Once again Kyden was left alone. He ventured on his own for quite some time, but eventually met some who were like him, other elves. Under the direction of then, Aran, Gryffon Durime, Kyden drank the Sap of Turns from the Tree of Life. This sap transformed Kyden, the full-blooded Elf into an Autumn Elf, orange-skinned creatures who are more connected to the Tree of Life.
Now Kyden Alrithe of the Forest, Kyden possesses the virtues and vices of the season of Fall and has finally found a home in the Forest. Early on, Kyden had some troubles fitting in due to his Pirate past. For example he is not as socially refined as the other members of his kingdom.
He entered the Forest as a mere Red Druid to refine his magic abilities. Under the direction of Gryffon Anthony Durime and Zxion Rhynn, Kyden quickly developed his powers. He rose to the ranks of Charmbreaker quickly. Then just months after initially being welcomed into the Forest, Kyden Alrithe was promoted to lead the Forest’s Elven Magi as the Grand Druid of the Forest. |
