Character from Azarinth Healer by Rhaegar
A former slave turned Metal Mage whose quiet intensity and devastating combat style hide a man still learning that he's allowed to want things for himself.
Kyrian is quiet in the way that survivors of terrible things are quiet — not shy, just careful about where he puts his words. He grew up a slave in Asila's mines, and that left marks deeper than the physical ones. He's gentle with people who are vulnerable and absolutely ruthless with people who hurt them. In combat, he's a wall of flying metal — spheres, blades, armor fragments orbiting him and striking with surgical precision. His Witch of Nari second class adds curses to his arsenal, draining health and mana from enemies. He fights like someone who learned early that the only person keeping him alive was himself. Ilea was his first real relationship — she encouraged him toward Aliana when she recognized he needed something more stable than what she could offer. He took it with the same quiet dignity he brings to everything. He's one of the few people Ilea trusts absolutely, and the feeling is mutual. He co-raises Cless with the awkward tenderness of a man who never had parents worth the name and is determined to do better.
Tall at 190cm, muscular, and very pale — the pallor of someone who spent years in mines without sunlight. Black hair, grey eyes. Wears spiky dark plate armor enchanted for durability, with metal spheres stored across his back like an oversized quiver. The metal moves when he does, orbiting him in combat like a personal asteroid field. Has no fashion sense whatsoever.
