  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Name: Silyo Duropuso
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 58
Height: 6’ 1’
Weight: 156

Family: Sister, Agawyn (whereabouts unknown)
Adopted children, Rakol and Kaima

Description: Silyo is well-built, rugged from years of hard living. His eyes are dark, and they can get very intense when he’s angry. His hair is dark too; he trims it with a knife to keep it out of his face and ears. People can be a bit uneasy when they see Silyo’s face, because it looks ruined; it’s so covered in scar tissue one can barely imagine his features before it was like that. He usually wears black and carries a short sword, with numerous other weapons hidden about his person. These usually include knives, a fifteen-foot length of rope, and a bundle of needles. He carries poison too, a toxin that takes a few seconds to kick in and induces extreme drowsiness. Effects last 1-2 hours.

Personality: Silyo is a survivor of many trials, and has all the traits associated with such. He is calm most of the time, but can explode with fury on occasion.

Background: Silyo was born a member of a prosperous Eyrelan family. His father was a merchant who dealt in emeralds and other gems, and the family owned a mine near the mountains. When Silyo was around sixteen, he witnessed the murder of his parents and the destruction of their property by some strange creature of fire, and it was only by the grace of El that he and his younger sister survived. They were naïve; they thought they could avenge their parents. They learned the truth in short order, and his sister defected to some strange cult, leaving Silyo to turn to thievery as a means of survival.

Fifteen years passed, and Silyo earned himself a reputation; forcing him to stay on the run from the law. One day, Silyo was scouting out some lord’s manor when the manor was destroyed—by the same creature of flame that had killed his parents. The lord’s children—a boy and a girl—survived. Seeing them standing lost and bewildered reminded Silyo of that day, and he decided then that he would use his skills as a thief to fight evil. To fight dirty.

So he took the children away to a secret place. He hacked up his face so that no one would recognize him. And he started an organization of shadow-walkers known as the Shanmarvix.

He’s been leading them ever since.
