*RP post* The incorporal shape listened intently a short distance outside of the circle of light from the nearest campfire. Seated within the circle was a group of Saracens in their familiar black and red, all except one, a small female elf who from appearances appeared to be a student of the druiadic arts. The shape slowly inched closer in order to better hear the conversation. Lionna said the thin male saracen directly to the elven females left, the speaker,was the youngest in the group by the looks of it, other than the elf herself but who ever knew with that lot. Lionna, as you have taken up service under my Count father, and through his authority been placed under my charge. is time you learned more of the family history the young saracen continued. You, like most of this kingdom know me as Midas, this is not wrong but it is not the whole story. Midas you see was the nickname given to me in my youth, I had a nack for turning up hiden cashes of gold during raids and the name stuck. To understand why it was necessary to hide my true name we must back up a bit. A little over 20 years also during one of the many wars between the Templars and the Saracens my mothers village was attacked by a group of Templar crusaders. Most died in the ensuing battle, but by some devine protection I was spared. The man you now serve Count Vosh, at the time a foot soldier and blacksmith of the Saracen nation, found the recently homeless, persumed orphan, infant in the field and took the child, that is to say me. Into his care. Before long the old man took a liking to me. Temporary insanity Put in man with a salt and pepper beard from across the campfire. You know you love me Voshe. Retorted Midas. Anyway, the name I was given as the apprentice blaclsmith and adopted son of the good count was Coxion Bearfury, Coxion the crass to some. Was it because of the drinking? It was because of the drinking wasnt it? Lionna inquired. The shade would have heard the resulting thump even if it had not snuck so close as it had. So thats a yes? Lionna said rubbing the back of her head where the smack had landed. Anyway! Continued Coxion, choosing to ignore that last question When I became old enough to understand such things, I sought out a mystic able to determine my lineage. Voshe had noticed some unusual properties in me growing up and we werent 100% sure I was completely human. Piercing eyes, lines of white hair at a young age, inability to gain weight regardless of food intake, most easily hidden from the greater circle of our companions yet curious. None the less. Yea I know this bit, youre a half elf, but your ears didnt grow in. Saod Lionna See father, I told you that line would work, even the elf bought it. Said Coxion With a demon lord and a... teafling... in the area we couldnt exactly reveal my true heritage without care. The second race was said with a visable grimace, clearly the man disliked teaflings I am an Asimar, specifically a distant decendant of the trickster Who? Asked Lionna He has many names my forebearer, oldman coyote, the spider, Hermes, Loki. Seeing the look on Lionnas face Coxion quickly clarified. Im not like a demi god or anything like that might have been one in the family 20 generations back, but all the gift did in me was the eyes the hair and bless me with good hair and a longer life than a normal human. So why hide, thats awesome? Inquired Lionna We live in a dark place, and besides I take after my great great grandfather a little why not have some fun with it replied Coxion. Ha! Fair enough, one last question. Why settle here at all? You said the Saracen war party you where raised where nomads? Ahhh, simple enough. The mystic was able to teach me a small amount of her gift. I traveled for a while searching out my father... he was an adventurer so I am told, and was not in the village when it was sacked. My search brought me here, but not to my father. Well not directly anyway. Instead I found his son, my halfbrother. The gift has twisted interestingly in him...Im told he has an afinity for eating hands and for hats...we all have our quirks... TLDR: Changing Amtgard name to Coxion...you all call me Cox anyway. So Coxion the Crass, Coxion Bearfury for formal stuff. Also Im MaA for Voshe now and Timmy is paged to Voshe and in my charge to tutor. Also Eli and I are half brothers. -Coxion out!
