 NOTE: Background has yet to be completely OK'd by Dean, so for now don't take anything as gospel!

Cynara Lagos[1] is a young woman of noble blood, born to Cona[2] and Sunguro Lagos, both of noble blood. To most, she appears to be a slender young woman with chocolate skin and nappy brown hair, which she wears in different styles from day to day. Nobles see a different face, one with slight rabbit-like features, and a light down of brown fur. Where her human ears would be, two long brown rabbit ears push upwards amidst her nappy hair. A registered Citizen of Mirth, she dresses in the style of the city.

She grew up helping her mother at public shelters, and as a teenager was hired to help out at a shelter in Bonetown. From there she rose to be the manager of the facility, where her dedication and ability were noticed by the Fey'd, who offered her the opportunity to train to be a Healer.

Prologue

Cynara has just finished her education at the Fey'd University in Lyre. In her time there, training to use the new godless healing magicks, she learned of the history of humanity, the old gods, and of nature, the unyielding enemy. Cynara has come to believe that expansion is humanity's best opportunity for survival and prosperity. Access to more resources will enable the four cities to better protect themselves, and to expand yet again. And who knows what hidden things might be found in our old ruined cities?

It is with this in mind that Cynara heads to a new outpost, a four day train trip away from throwing her own weight towards a better future for humanity. However, she's heard the rumours among the nobles. Few hear about the countless outposts that have failed, overrun by the Green. Hidden away in her pack, where they won't spook the commoners aboard the train, are a morningstar and a dagger to complement her shotgun. She may be a healer, but she won't be caught unprepared.

History

Family

Cynara's mother and father have worked hard to establish themselves, and now have a comfortable home in the Marrow. Cynara lived there with them, and her brother Poro, until her duties at the shelter became so much of her average day that she felt she could do a better job if she lived in Bonetown.

Sunguro Lagos

Cynara's father is a noble-born man of forty. He is tall and well built after a lifetime of work. His skin is a very dark brown, and he keeps his head shaved clean. His noble form takes characteristics of a wild hare.

Sunguro runs one of the work-lines in Bonetown. He's known to be no-nonsense, and quick to throw any troublemakers out of HIS line. His blunt manner keeps the lines moving quickly, and those who can follow his rules know his line is the best place to find a job.

When he shifts the down on his skin, white with speckles and spots of brown, lengthens and thickens to more resemble that of a hare.

Cona Lagos

Cona Lagos is a noble-born woman of thirty-eight. She is of average height and slender build, with chocolate skin. She keeps her nappy hair short, often shaved completely, but from time to time she lets it grow out so she can weave in shoulder length corn braids. Her noble form shares characteristics with a pika[3], including a grey down and round ears.

Cona works at a community shelter and food distribution centre in the Marrow, where she has come to be respected for her ability to maintain her calm in the face of the worst food crises, and offer valuable advice to the patrons of her shelter.

When shifting, little seems to change about Cynara's mother, though she gains a calmness and clarity to help her deal with the most stressful situations.

Poro Lagos

Cynara's younger brother still helps her mother and father with their duties. Whether it's picking up supplies for his mother, or helping take names at the work line for his father. He's just twelve, his parents deciding to wait until they were sure they were ready for another child after Cynara. He is brown skinned and his hair is often in a disheveled afro. He shares the hare's characteristics, like his father.
