Kyriakos

Kyriakos - More commonly called Kyria - Moody teenage elf x deer x tiger - Can speak to animals

As an orphaned elf, Kyria was adopted by Eugene. Legend has it that his mother, Fern, abandoned him in a European forest when he was just a few weeks old. No one knows his father's identity. For the first year of his life, Kyria was raised by animals, connecting with them effortlessly due to his part-animal, part-elf nature and his innate ability to communicate with them (despite lacking spoken language).

Eugene discovered him one day in the forest and became a father figure to Kyria. Their isolated life together in a castle continued until Kyria reached his teenage years, at which point he moved with Eugene to Australia to meet up with Edge, which later became a mission to save the world as the group known as Some Magic Mafia™.

Underneath his clothing, Kyria's skin reveals a striking black/grey hue, complemented by distinct black tiger stripes that extend from his tail and run along his arms and torso. Kyria's self-consciousness about these unique markings has led him to frequently wear hoodies, providing him with the means to conceal not only his torso but also his hands and arms.

Kyria's temperament is characterized by grumpiness and moodiness, stemming from abandonment trauma and a challenging childhood, despite Eugene's efforts.
#abandoment trauma #had a pretty shit childhood even though Eugene tried #he was half raised by animals #plus Eugene is depressed and suicidal... not a great father figure #I still love you Eugene #sometimes I think Kyria is just naturally a dick tho #cis het teenage boys smh

His unique emotional state, coupled with his innate ability, leads to accidental animal summoning and communication during mood swings, fueling a complicated relationship with animals. Kyria openly acknowledges his fondness for his three pet cats (Amaebi, Siamese; Nori, Bengal; Inari, Orange Maine coon) and supposedly "tolerates" his girlfriend's assistance dog, secretly harbouring affection for him behind the scenes. Otherwise, Kyria likes to exclaim that he hates all animals and frequently tells them to "fuck off" even though he was the one to summon them.

Eugene:
Kyria's relationship with Eugene is akin to that of a father and son. Eugene stumbled upon him when Kyria was just a year old and took him under his wing. Despite the isolated childhood Kyria experienced, he harbours no resentment toward Eugene. In fact, they've grown quite close, sharing a bond that resembles that of best friends. Eugene serves as a pillar of support for Kyria, always there to lend an ear when Kyria is feeling down and helping him manage his anger, which is often triggered by Edge. Kyria often wishes that Eugene wasn't so depressed but feels awkward discussing such a personal and sensitive topic with his father figure.

Edge:
Kyria and Edge are more like frenemies than friends. Their mutual dislike is evident, with Edge often initiating fights. Kyria can be relentless, and their conflicts escalate quickly. Over time, Kyria has developed some resilience, given the frequency of Edge's threats. Despite their constant bickering, they still manage to work together, albeit with frequent clashes. The root cause of their fights is Edge's disdain for Kyria's "teenage attitude." (which is so fucking ironic and rich coming from the king of dickheads himself)

Amaebi, Nori and Inari:
Kyria's cats provide a soothing contrast to the chaos of his life. Nori, a birthday gift from Eugene, Inari, a stray cat rescued by Kyria, and Amaebi, who was accidentally summoned by Kyria after escaping a neglectful household, have become perfect snuggle buddies. These obedient feline companions offer comfort and support, often tagging along as Kyria, Eugene, and Edge confront their adversaries. They provide a sense of stability during challenging times, and although Kyria can communicate with them, he typically opts not to, cherishing their silent companionship.
