Description Actually my FIRST and most beloved of all my human characters, Cyrus Kent has a very special place in my heart. All my absurdity and passion for life goes into him... He had to go away for a bit due to a falling out with someone ... but... Both me and Cyrus are rising from the dead it seems...

This incarnation it should be noted is an Airship Pirate of an unspecific steampunk type world, though he's roughly the same as his 1700's Caribbean version.

I'm known for creating trash characters. But this isn't one of them.

Cyrus isn't trash. He's a dumpster fire.
_____________________

Name: Captain Cyrus Kent
Age: 36
Height: 6' 2"
Occupation: Pirate Captain/Outlaw Adventurer

Personality: The first thing you need to know about Cyrus Kent is that he is utterly, stark, raving, mad. Despite this he has a wildly positive outlook on life, always grinning like a cheshire cat, and laughing wildly (it sounds like a Hyena at times). He never gives up, despair is a dirty word.
 This of course, has gotten him into a mess of trouble, but his unpredictable nature got him out somehow. Cyrus is incredibly violent, and not even out of anger.... He doesn't seem to be a pirate for the sake of money, and its hard to pin down exactly WHAT he is after because....  well, his memory is THE. WORST. He'll forget his own crew's names and faces on really bad days. This will sometimes trigger screaming and fits of paranoia , and probably violence. However, in his saner moments he's actually a well meaning and kind soul deep down. His ship is a refuge for the strange, unwanted, disabled, and oppressed. If you can put up with his peculiarities, there's a place for you here.

Trivia:

-Walks with a limp in his left leg. He was shot in the knee and the shrapnel was never removed. Its been leaching lead ever since and he suffers from lead poisoning, which is a major contributing factor to his insanity
- almost never takes off that coat and NEVER takes off that bandana
- Is not a very good shot
- Quite a capable swordsman however
- Carries a gunblade. He's a pirate, he doesn't fight fair.
- Favors speed and cleverness over power
- Has one silver tooth, has filed his other teeth into points
- Actually a fairly skilled pilot and will take the controls of his own ship when he feels some particularly specific manuvers are needed
- Tea is his drink of choice, and typically won't drink alcohol , though if you put it IN his teacup he will tell you its tea and not question it. If YOU drink it as well he'll be assured it isn't poison.
- Cyrus is prone to excessive violence in sudden dramatic fits. He's stabbed people with forks, slapped them with fish, beaten up inanimate objects, squeezed a parakeet until its eyes popped out because he said it mocked him...
- Once tried to hire an actual baby as part of his crew. Seriously.
- Tends to bite his hands and fingers when having an anxiety fit. His fingers are covered in scars and his hands are wrapped up to prevent serious damage.
- Collects keys and carries dozens of them on his person. You can always hear him approaching
- Despite his messed up knee, he can dance a fine jig
- Once suplexed a giant man.
- Actually has garbage health. Sick all the time, pale as heck.
-I N S O M N I A
- Screaming. So much screaming.
- laughs in the face of death
- laughs at ur mom
-Wears two hats sometimes.
- Tea is a leaf and therefore a vegetable.

Your art style/shading style goes very well to depict Kent's deranged/crazy personality. 

I really appreciate how the coat is colored and how the metallic parts of the coat are pretty convincing.  That and the teeth.  Wow, the teeth are starting to look really good, especially with the showing gum lines. 

Also, that tea holding, sworld-wielding pose is the best!  Highlight of my day so far and certainly got a giggle out of me!

Text-wise, I think the text description on the image should be white instead of black.  Just in consideration that some monitors do not possess very good color gamma/screen brightness such as my laptop.  Thankfully my other monitor can read the black text even as it goes into the darker areas of the background colors. 

Great job with Kent!

Ah thank you so much Gallant!!! 

Omg I'm so glad the metal on the coat reads well! I wasn't sure if it would look like metal painted white or not?

Hehehe I'm so glad! I'm really happy with the pose myself! I'm so glad you got a laugh!

You know what, you're so right, I may actually go change the text now! I was struggling with the text a little (and my monitor is old and does have some issues with color and tone) but thank you for that input I'll go give that a try!

"Tea is a leaf and therefore a vegetable"

Truly, the words of a wise man <:

Great job, Cynth! I like the subtle green color motif you give him. He looks like he properly transplanted from a Caribbean setting to a steampunk one as well, with those knee pads, vest, and goggled headgear.

And those boots are a fine piece of equipment ;_;
