Cid Lysander

Cid Lysander, born Cid Lysander is a Half-Dracul in his early 20's. He grew up in a tiny village in Escharia. During his upringing he took an interest to Military theory and statecraft, which he was taught by his uncle and stand-in father Marcus Lysander. During his teens he was forced into exile from his village.

Personality
Despite him being what many would refer to as an evil creature of chaos, Cid is actually quite peaceful and prefers to avoid violence. Cid is not religious as every religion he has encountered so far would kill him if they knew that he was a Half-Vampire. Despite his bad relationship with religions, Cid remains quite open-minded towards religious people. Cid is a man who values his friends highly and will go to hell and back for them. Cid is a very ambitious person, or rather used to be until he fell for Kaori Hyacinthus. Kaori has been a positive influence in his life, but due to certain events he has grown overprotective of Kaori, to a degree where he risks jeopardizing his life and position in The Order.

A person who isn't a close friend of Cid will probably describe him as a quite shy or a reserved person, as he doesn't smile in their presence due to his fangs. Only a few select close friends have ever seen him smile or laugh, despite this he has a shining and cheerful personality.

Biography
During his teens he really took up the interest of Statecraft and Philosophy. In his late teens he was attacked by a Dracul one night, his "father" heard it enter and quickly killed it. Unfortunately for Cid the Dracul did not finish leeching the blood leading to some venom entering Cid's body. Soon after Cid began transforming, it was a painful period for him and his family and by the end of it he couldn't leave his house. One day when he left the house the superstitious villagers recognized what he had become by his red eyes, that same evening the villagers gathered outside his household and demanded the summary execution of him. His "father" smuggled him out and since then he lived as a nomad until he reached Uldarash and then Fornost, seeking a new life in the massive city.

First years in Fornost
During the first few years in Fornost, Cid spent much time philosophising and writing. Other than that Cid joined the Order and went on a small series of missions for the Order, and slowly accumilated wealth. Cid was hired as a Diplomatic Aide on behalf of Uldarash.

Cid made his way up, moving into a mansion with some of his friends. Most recently Cid has put all his ambitions aside for a special someone who he also went on a date with. On top of that he is getting more careful in order to protect his identity from the Order of Aurora.

Order
Cid joined the Order to support his country and to climb the ranks as a part of his ambitious plans. He also wished to keep the peace of his new home. As his priorities changed the latter reason became the primary reason for him to be in the Order. He became very conflicted however during an incident where he was ordered to assist in the capture and arrest of his friends, who would be executed a few weeks later. This included one of his very close friends, Argof. The incident left Cid rather conflicted in regards to the order and his superiors, he openly challenged them and the way the Order worked. More recently he has come to terms with the fact that the order cannot be changed until the Old guard dies.

During a series of werewolf attacks against Aurora, Cid became a pawn stuck between both sides. The blighted, notably Frieda, traumatised Cid and seriously wounded his husband. Later Frieda would attempt to kidnap or kill Kaori while in recovery. These events would start a vendetta which Cid will continue until Frieda is dead. After the events were over Cid kept his place in the order, but Frieda was still alive and somewhere out in the world in Aurora.

After that Cid stayed in the order and worked dutifully for the institution until his father managed to corrupt him using a potion. After being corrupted Cid made two assassination attempts on Aurelian an Aurorii. Both attempts failed but he did manage to kill Aurelian's son, Arken an Aurorii. Cid then kidnapped his husband who found out about the corruption and assassination attempts. Cid would later relocate Kaori out of the city after several friends almost discovered him hidden in the attic. After this Cid made a deal with Gambit, who locked him away at an unknown location. Cid then locked himself inside his mansion for a month, during this the corruption would decay since he didn't drink enough blood to sustain it. Regret and nightmares would haunt him during this month and cause him to change course and decide to run away.

Wars
Cid has fought in a number of wars with the order. Cid has fought in the Uldarashi Civil war, where he participated in the siege of Terroja. Cid also fought and lead one of the Auroran corps during the battle for new_coolio. Cid had issues commanding during the battle but did manage to warn Aurelian after he spotted the rebellions leader, (Qwaser) first alone and then ordering a charge against Cid's position.

Other battles Cid fought in include, The battle for Canine, The battle for Hapatmitas, The Siege of Fornost and more.
