Name: Cyrus Grant Timberr (nickname: Cy)
Birthday: May 4
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Status: Subterrean
Cy has sun-bleached blonde hair that falls into his eyes which are light brown. His face looks innocent and he has a scar through his left cheek. He's 5'9. Since he has lived on the streets all his life, he is athletic and rather skinny, but tough. Also he can run like the wind. His face looks innocent and he has a scar through his left cheek.
Cyrus isn't phased about his clothes. He just wears a worn pair of cargo shorts, a black ski hat with his hair sticking out all around, and no shirt in summer. When it's winter he just digs in a trash can until he finds something warm, like an old blanket, to wrap around himself. He has no shoes. After the first snow though, Thy digs him up and throws an old pair of whatever shoes she has found, and threatens to knife him if he doesn't wear them. Cy knows she won't, but puts them on. In his heart he's really grateful, but he would never go looking for shoes himself.
Cy is a light-hearted boy. He loves to laugh and finds one in almost everything. He's quickfingered, which he has to be since he's a pickpocket. He thinks he doesn't need any friends so just has one close one, Thyatira. (see Thyatira Karma Payne for more)
It's not that he mistrusts people, but more that he really doesn't like people. Since he's been alone most of his life he doesn't feel the need to actually get to know people real well. His simple test to learn if the person is actually someone who he might want to get to know is that he tries to steal their wallet. If they notice, and he's really good about not getting noticed, then he starts respecting them, but if they don't notice anything he's more discusted with them. Also if Thy actually trusts someone then he decides that person is worth being civil too. So even though he won't usually talk to people, he's not shy or aloof, but if he is actually looking at you and you can tell he's listening then you've earned his respect somehow. And even though he doesn't talk, he laughs.
He does have a sense of pride and will never steal food, but buys them with the money he steals. He doesn't get the irony of it. Cy also isn't greedy in his pickpocketing. He sees it as a game, trying to get into someone's pocket without them knowing. He only takes the wallets filled with cash, since he thinks that those people have plenty to share.
Cyrus' parents died before he can remember them and he was raised by a hobo who found him wondering the streets as a little 2 year old boy. They wondered around living in random places, but when Cy was 6 the hobo died leaving him again on his own. One day when he was 10 he ran into Thy's under bridge home and was planning on staying there for the night, when Thyatira came bursting in, waving her blade and yelling. He was so scared that Thy felt sorry and let him stay the night, giving him his last name. (the hobo just called him Cyrus and after he died Cy wanted Grant, the hobo's name, to be his middle name) The next day Thyatira took him to a lady she had seen that didn't have any kids, but Cy ran away from her and came back to Thy. She took him in for a day or so, after which he ran off again.
The next time Cyrus saw her, he was 13 and had been sliced in the cheek by a gang leader who's money he had stolen. Thy helped him as best she could and he decided not to go to other cities, at least not by his self and now stays around Whatever-the-city's-called, picking pockets of the Royales.
