YOUNG

by: hollywood undead

we are young, but we have heart.
born in this world as it all falls apart.
we are strong, and we don't belong.
born in this world as it all falls apart.

i see the children in the rain, like the parade before the pain.
i see the love, i see the hate, i see this world that we can make.
i see the life, i see the sky. give it all to see you fly.
yes, we wave this flag of hatred, but you're the ones who made it.
watch the beauty of all our lies passing right before our eyes.
i hear the hate in all your words. all the wars to make us hurt.
we get so sick, oh so sick, we never wanted all this.
medication for the kids with no reason to live.

so we march to the drums of the d.xmned as we come.
watch it burn in the sun. we are numb.

we are young, but we have heart.
born in this world as it all falls apart.
we are strong, and we don't belong.
born in this world as it all falls apart.

as we walk among these shadows, in these streets, these field of battle.
take it up, we wear the mantle, raise your hands with burning candles.
hear us whisper in the dark, in the rain you see the spark.
feel the beating of our hearts, fleeting hope as we depart.
all together walk alone against all we've ever known.
all we've ever really wanted was a place to call our home.
but you take all we are, the innocence of our hearts.
made to kneel before the altar as you tear us apart.

so we march to the drums of the d.xmned as we come.
watch it burn in the sun. we are numb.

we are young, but we have heart.
born in this world as it all falls apart.
we are strong, and we don't belong.
born in this world as it all falls apart.

we will fight or we will fall
til the angels save us all.

we are young, but we have heart.
born in this world as it all falls apart.
we are strong, and we don't belong.
born in this world as it all falls apart.

rank: whatever she wants it to be
family: Nausicaa (mother; deceased)

offspring: none

APPEARANCE
overall: u/c
hair: Dark black, reaching her shoulders. However, she has a single lock of hair that is pure white, falling to the right as part of her bangs.

Her outfit usually consists of a short-sleeved black blouse, tailored for maximum flexibility, and black pants of the same material. Two sheaths for her long knives hang on a belt. The knives are twins, identical in every way, with deer bone handles and white iron blades. There are runes carved onto the knives, which are activators for several spells placed there by a sorcerer, and in addition to this is a rune etched in blood on each blade. This is Val's own doing, one of the few times she's used her blood magic, and the rune spells her name, to prevent anyone other than her from using the knives. Val possesses little other belongings, having no need for anything else.

Cysero & Riley Jandacek

you could do better, you could do better, you could be the greatest man in the world

full name: Cysero (sie-SEHR-oh) Jandacek (JAN-dah-check)
nickname(s): Cy
gender: male
race: half human, half elven
age: forty-five
magical affiliation: arcane, specializing in alchemy
rank: conman; alchemist
family: Jacob Grimm (human father; deceased), Marianne Jandacek (elf mother), Riley Jandacek (younger brother)
life partner: none
offspring: none - that he knows of

APPEARANCE
overall: Having both human and elven blood, Cysero ages slowly and still appears to be a young man - a carefree, rather cocky one, at that. He is a perfect blend of his mixed blood, possessing a striking, rather alien appearance that combines the natural, narrow grace of the elves with the sturdier features of humanity. Though three years older, he and his brother are almost identical in appearance, apart from a few differences.
hair: Dark brown with the occasional lighter highlight, only kept long enough to brush the nape of his neck. Cysero doesn't bother to make it particularly neat, so it is always falling into his eyes. He thinks this is appreciated by the ladies.
eyes: Deep, beautiful blue. Known to make women lightheaded.
height: Short; reaches only about five feet five inches. Source of much irritation.
build: Not built for combat at all. Cysero is thin and rather agile, but possesses little in the way of strength.
clothing/accessories: Clothing usually entails whatever is required of the cons he pulls. Because of this, he always has a few changes of clothes on him. When not working a job, Cysero favors darker colors and simple clothing, the better to blend in. He also carries an odd assortment of objects common to alchemists, as well as a few valuable books on alchemy, daggers, a lockpicking kit, and a number of small tools.

personality: easygoing, naturally curious, highly intelligent, morally lazy, annoying | Cysero is hardly ever seen without a smile, able to charm his way into anyone's trust. He likes the ladies and a good party, and he can hold a conversation about practically anything. He's a knowledgeable fellow with a thirst for learning, which stems from a natural curiosity about the world. At times, he can be quite infuriating, with his know-it-all attitude and his quick tongue and his casual disregard for other people's rules. He's pretty lax in his morals; he's against wanton killing and hurting the weak, but he doesn't mind thievery (from the rich) and he's more than capable of taking a life to defend himself. He plays himself as a fool, the kind who knows much but very little, but it's only an act - an excellent one, convincing others to relax their guard around him. Cysero is no fool. He possesses a keen intelligence and a gift for understanding. However, he cares about very little in the world outside his learning, and gaining his real trust or affection is a difficult thing to do. He's devoted to his younger brother, the person he cares about most, and is fierce in defending him. He would die for Riley without hesitation. He and his brother share a unique connection, knowing each other's minds and habits as well as their own.

full name: Riley Jandacek (JAN-dah-check)
gender: male
race: half human, half elven
age: forty-two
magical affiliation: elemental, specializing in a single wind technique - can only harden air, creating a barrier or invisible projectile, depending on how it is used
rank: conman; hypnotist
family: Jacob Grimm (human father; deceased), Marianne Jandacek (elf mother), Cysero Jandacek (older brother)
life partner: none
offspring: none

APPEARANCE
overall: Having both human and elven blood, Riley ages slowly and still appears to be a young man, serious and stern. He is a perfect blend of his mixed blood, possessing a striking, rather alien appearance that combines the natural, narrow grace of the elves with the sturdier features of humanity. Though three years younger, he and his brother are almost identical in appearance, apart from a few differences.
hair: Dark brown with the occasional lighter highlight, long enough to brush his shoulders. Riley usually keeps it pulled back and neat.
eyes: Deep green and intense. Known to make people cower.
height: Fairly tall, about five feet ten inches.
build: Strongly built, well-prepared for close fighting.
clothing/accessories: Clothing usually entails whatever is required of the cons he pulls. Because of this, he always has a few changes of clothes on him. When not working a job, Riley favors darker colors and simple clothing, the better to blend in. He carries very little else, but because he is cautious, always has some form of medical supplies on him.

personality: quiet, stern, sensible, mature | The most common look on Riley's face is a frown. Most people mistake it for a look of annoyance and assume him to be stiff, but this is not so. Riley is simply a quiet, thoughtful individual, and frowns when he thinks, thus prompting his often mistaken look. He doesn't talk much, preferring to listen and observe, and he is often deep in thought. He rarely takes into account other's opinions, preferring to make his own judgments, and these judgments are usually sound, as he is a keen observer. Also, Riley disapproves of needless shenanigans. However, he makes an excellent conman, perhaps even more intelligent than his brother. Despite his stern personality, Riley is an exceptional actor. He can pull off any role with ease, and lying comes naturally to him. He has a smooth tongue, but even more so, he is a strong voice of reason. He's a rational man, not easily swayed by passions or strong emotions. However, he is fiercely loyal, particularly to his brother. Where Cysero is concerned, reason may often give way to emotion, and Riley will do almost anything for his brother. He knows Cysero's mind and habits as well as his own.

HISTORY
Marianne Jandacek was a pureblooded elf, strongly powerful in magic and one of the most beautiful creatures in the world. However, her mind was broken and had been so since birth. She was rarely lucid, slow to respond, if at all, and occasionally she slipped into fits of true madness. Her family had always cared for her, but they were heavily burdened by it. Moments of lucidity were rare; mostly, she was trapped within her own mind.
Jacob Grimm was a human man who had earned honor as a respected and wealthy merchant. In reality, however, he was the secret leader of an underground criminal enterprise that dealt primarily in smuggling; it was highly successful in eastern Silvermoon and had moderate success in the west, hampered a bit by the many thieving organizations already located there. Jacob was capable of playing roles easily; as a merchant, he made a small fortune dealing with elves, who admired him for his class and dignity. He was a guest of honor in the Jandacek household, drawing up a business deal with the family, when he saw Marianne. He was a greedy man who immediately became enamored of her beauty and, more importantly, the immense power she possessed. Her madness didn't seem to bother him; he even offered to marry her and ease her family's burden. But the Jandaceks were unwilling to marry their daughter off to a human, which angered Jacob's pride. He hid his anger well and completed his business, but after he left, he sent his people back to bring her to him. He had associates who hid her away as the Jandaceks searched for her, and nothing was ever pinned on him. When all attention was far from him, he secretly married her.
Cysero was born a few years later, Riley three years after him. They grew up in an unstable household, with their mother's madness and their father's increasing greed and cruelty. Jacob was infatuated with Marianne's beauty, but he also used her and her powerful magic in many of his schemes. The brothers never had much in the way of proper raising, and Jacob often left Cysero to care for both Riley and Marianne. Cysero was forced to grow up quickly, and though his mother's madness scared him, he took care of her and loved her as much as he knew how. He became very protective of his little brother and often took on himself whatever anger Jacob had at Riley or Marianne.
Cysero was a perceptive child and soon figured out how his father had really come to be with his mother. He was furious with the knowledge - furious, and too often scared for himself or his mother and brother. Feeling trapped and not knowing how else to get away, he planned and waited, and on a night when Jacob came home, he killed his own father. He was only twelve years old and terrified, and after the deed had been done, he didn't know what to do. It was Riley who helped him to calm down enough to think rationally, and they left in a hurry, taking their mother with them.
They wanted to bring Marianne back to her people, but all they knew of that was what they had heard from their father and his associates, which wasn't much. It was only the name Jandacek that helped them; a group of elf travelers who found them lost in Silvermoon immediately recognized the name and sent word to the Jandacek family. They were welcomed at once, to much rejoicing, and the brothers were allowed to stay with their newly found grandparents. When asked, Cysero avoided the truth, saying only that Jacob had been killed. He felt out of place there as a half-elf who only knew a criminal lifestyle, and as soon as he was old enough, he took Riley and left, saying that they were going to find a cure for their mother's madness. And that was indeed his intention. He and Riley quickly developed their own peculiar criminal undertaking, hunting after possible remedies that could help their mother. It was for this reason that Cysero became an alchemist, and he and Riley pulled a number of schemes all relating to possible cures, but none of them helped.

random facts:
~ Cysero's name is elvish, given to him by his mother, but Riley's name is human.
~ The brothers share an extreme level of tolerance to certain drinks. Those drinks don't affect them at all.

~ Riley knows quite a bit of first aid.
~ Riley has learned the art of hypnotizing people. He's quite proficient at it, to the point where he can manipulate a weak mind with little difficulty.
