Sylth ‘Abyssborn’ - Neder - 11-03-2023 Name: Sylth ‘Abyssborn’      Age: Seemingly to be around the age of twenty. Backstory:  Born and Raised by his mother residing in a cave-like house somewhere near the border of Thay’s outskirts,  Sylth’s mother remained mostly reclusive and sheltered him from the outside or discovering a hidden path into the actual cave of their home leading deeper below which she sealed off entirely somehow while growing up she taught him basic simple math discovering he had great difficulty with it being somewhat lenient on him and learning and speaking common and the language of her people telling sometimes stories of them while sharing as a treat some wafers send by his supposed uncle he rarely ever met beside a few rare times but surprisingly got along well teaching him somethings of martial skill seeming to be what somewhat accepting of his tiefling nature then being of his and her sister’s race though they know it was difficult on him perhaps if he ever had to face the outside world and likely unknowingly how tieflings were perceived so they kept him in the dark for potentially the better and maintain some innocence and shelter him from the world surprisingly of their own nature and the society his uncle came  from as in those rare moments with his uncle he would teach him how to wield a weapon but made of usually a sort of wood which smelled of mushrooms and always a bunch of them incase one broke on accident as Sylth usually went for the toy swords larger his size and trying to balance it seeming to having a fun time mostly though he knew his uncle eventually had to leave and unknown when he returns again to visit and unseen mostly of being told the outside can be dangerous for him and his mother and to stay safely inside especially at night time but they were usually decently safe. Over the years Sylth was trusted to learn basic magic from their parent at a slightly young but old enough age in her opinion but to keep it safe she tried to teach him a simple and safe cantrip of Dancing Lights though it took a week to master but in a motherly proud fashion she gifted him his first and perhaps only preferred an empty tome beside dancing lights put in by her as the tome looks in appearance having a clamp lock with a black and purple cover and some spells for assisting in melee like his uncle and ranged options as his mother used as ylth took this gift to heart considering his first and only tome for future spells taking great care of it and a sentimental piece when nearing the age of twenty his mother told him it was perhaps time for him to discover the world on his own giving him a map and enough food and a canteen to keep him hydrated and hone his magic and combat skills if he wished too as sylth was pretty naturally curious accepted to learn more beyond his comfortable mother’s home and shelter and daring to embrace change for himself but hopefully welcome to return one day as she smiled at him and gave him a somewhat confused and vague explanation why he never had a father around and only his distant uncle helping out sometimes and not explaining much as his heritage was Abyssal or demonic from the line of his supposed ‘Father’ and Ancestor and beginning with an El or Elt as she did not know much either or his uncle but knowing when born something was strange about him but loved her son either way and kept away and secluded to protect and keep him safe even if difficult but did it with love surprising for her people and his uncle cared for him both surprisingly of their origins.  Sylth gave a simple understanding nod and went away from home for the first time anxious yet innocently excited trying to hone his future combative skills in adventure and furthering his magic combining them both. yet his mother perhaps forgot to teach him about Thay and basic things though being mostly sheltered and living in a reclusive area with barely much going on besides some crops stolen by wildlife. Personality/Behaviour/Character Traits/Explanation of Them: Sylth can be described perhaps as Very curious liking to ask questions and be as polite as possible and not knowing about anything besides what he learned from simple math reading and writing and some magic and combative skills for adventuring coming off perhaps as an imbecile or naive while genuinely being not learned about the world and common knowledge but always staying optimistic and friendly to all having a great deal of patience and holding in anger though when his limit broken somehow in an instant or rarely still tries to contain himself trying to not let it out in fear of doing something he may regret later he is easily trusting of those he can form a good connection with and almost a child-like innocence while capable of without a hesitation though with a hint guilt or feeling bad when defending themselves of brigands or worse trying to see positive or neutral reasoning to assure himself in his mind Body Description/Appearance: A young adult demonic ancestry looking Tiefling with pale ashen gray skin as their features looked soft their frame was almost elven and femininely androgynous being somewhere around seven feet in height his upper body is slightly athletic as the lower body of Sylth is somewhat wider and curved His head has very long dark black hair which is incredibly long going almost over the back of his waist as two long front bangs cover his shoulders almost entirely Sylth’s hair looks kempt yet still looks wild and chaotic somewhat with some wild hair sticking out a bit Their horns come out above his forked pointy like ears on the sides of his head appearing like spiraling curved antler-like horns with small sharp spikes on the outer curves of their surface Sylth’s face is clean-shaven and has  feminine features along with his eyes with a shadowy black sclera and golden yellow slitted eyes   The demonic-looking native outsider's tail while emotions displayed his tail would move side to side or swish as his ears droop high or low depending on feelings or mood, and the end of its tail is jagged and blunt with a slightly sharp edge at the tip like a curved thin stinger claw. While speaking his tone sounds guttural yet strangely softly sounding as sharp fanged teeth are visible when opening his mouth showing dark black gums and a pointy black grayish tongue. On some of Sylth’s body are indistinguishable chitin-like scales similar to his skin on his spine and elbows and length of his tail as the skin making it hard to notice mostly when discovered by a perceptive person when visible,
