Cyko - The Forsaken
Cyko was born to a strict military family in the quaint village of New Haven. His father was the General of the Angel army, his brothers were all high ranking officers under his fathers command, and his mother was a quiet homemaker... ever fearful of the controlling and abusive nature of her husband.
Cyko endured vigourous training daily throughout his childhood, becoming very adept in the ways of the sword, and even more adept in the powerful light spells that had been passed down through the family for centuries. His father had expected Cyko to follow in the family footsteps and, like his brothers, join the army and become even more of an asset than any of them could ever become. However, Cyko did not want this fate... he idolized the adventurers that passed through his village from time to time, hearing great stories of battles and vast treasures, favoring the lifestyle in which their stories depicted... rather than the constrictive lifestyle of the army. He was more of a free spirit, and could not be bound so tightly to rules.
Then, one fateful day when the forces of the Angel army were to go to battle with the fierce Gargoyles of Demon Gate, his father and brothers left the village to try and uphold the honor of their kind. Cyko, still too young to go into battle, stayed behind. The Gargoyles however, greatly outnumbered the Angels, and defeat was inevitable... Cyko's entire family was destroyed, and his mother died shortly after of sickness, some say... she died of a broken heart. Cyko was then left alone, with all the riches his family left behind... but he had no use for such material things, so he set off on his own, only keeping his fathers mighty broadsword that had been returned to him and a handful of gold coins.
Much time passed, and Cyko enjoyed the life of an adventurer, he married a Dark Elf Thief named Ransom, and they had a daughter, named Zarelle. Cyko was very happy... until one night Ransom found her former lover, who she thought was dead, by the name of Stevie Hyper D... and she kidnapped their daughter and ran off to be with him, once again leaving Cyko alone. Not much time passed after this incident, when Cyko was met in a forest clearing by the Assassin GogettoDark, who was hired by Stevie Hyper D. Then ensued one of the most horrific battles Cyko had ever endured... it was in this battle that Cyko, to save his own life, was forced to draw all the power from the dark forces of the realm, to defeat GogettoDark. Not knowing that the effects of this spell would not only change his appearance for good, (white hair turned black, white wings turned black, and his eyes now permanently glow a bright white) but his once pure heart had been turned towards the dark, and most of his memories of times passed would slowly be all but erased from his mind. He was now a Dark Angel.
Some say Cyko still roams the forests at night, consuming the souls of poor lost travelers to sustain his power... beware to those who wander alone...
