Name: Wylo Reni

Age: 34

Appearance: Red-brown hair and has a mustache. His eyes are more grey than blue, and they are cold and hard. His face is chiseled, and he has a slightly hawk-like nose. He is not a muscular person, but that shouldn’t deceive you. He may have a lean frame, but he is skilled in fencing and wrestling — although he doesn’t prefer fighting, he likes working in his lab.

Outfit: Silver-grey suit with coattails, black boots, and a bowler hat. Has a knife in his left boot. He doesn’t generally carry a sword, but for this story I’ll have him wearing one.

Weapons: ^ but he is more of a diplomatic person and would rather avoid using them.

Personality/Backtory (I’m combining these two because it’s easier to explain together): Wylo was the younger brother of Waynot Reni, who was the heir to the throne of Banerow. Waynot would be the High-ark, and Wylo the high-duke, the second in command and the fellow who would succeed his brother if Waynot was not able to rule anymore and didn’t have any children of eligible age. The two brothers were very close when they were younger, they would even finish each other’s sentences and could almost tell what the other was thinking.

Waynot always looked out for Wylo and encouraged his tinkering. Wylo loved inventing things, and built a microscope — the first ever in their world — when he was only twelve. But when Waynot was ten and Wylo was six, their parents died of the livid-man’s disease. They clung to each other even more. Officials appointed by the dying high-ark ruled until Waynot was of age: at fifteen. So the young ruler now had an entire country to run, and it was overwhelming. He, understandably, couldn’t spend as much time with his brother, but for the young eleven-year-old high-duke, that was hard. Waynot was all the family he had. But he was intent on helping Waynot as best he could, and put his scientific knowledge to use. He solved many problems, and his brother was thankful for the help.

Later on, Wylo predicted that one of their huge dams would break and he made a plan to fix it, saving the country from a lot of damage. That was just one example of his ingenuity. But then, Waynot started growing a bit prideful and took all the credit for himself, with Wylo barely acknowledged. And then came the day when Wylo predicted, with his advanced equipment, a coming earthquake that could destroy a large portion of Illick (the capital city of Banerow where the castle was) — but Waynot didn’t believe him. Then Wylo’s one lover and friend, Ahlee, dies. Wylo stops talking to his brother in his grief and anger, and as he watches Waynot rules, he feels that he could do it better, help the people better, and get folks to safety before that earthquake. So, he starts working in his lab on a special, special drink….

Ok, that was insanely long. I am such a long-winded person. *sigh* Thank you if you even read that 😀
