History

Synopsis Grew up in the Imperial Palace, pampered and spoiled by his parents until school. Between ages of 2 and 9, he became friends with Cathak Okubo, who moved often between the City and the port of Vatamu, as his mother was the military officer in charge of the road between them. They were both good hearted and well-bred fire aspects, and Okubo took it upon himself to defend Tiir from those Palace children who condemned him as effete and unlucky. That and being raised by slaves taught Tiir to pity and help the underdog and downtrodden, namely slaves. At the Academy for Cultivation of Youthful Talents, Tiir was torn. All the City kids were banded together against a small group of kids from outside the Scarlet Prefecture, except for his friend Okubo who attempted to stand up for them. Tiir sided with Okubo, gripped with puppy love... Tiir still considers Okubo his FIRST boyfriend! He attempted to bring an end to the conflict through the power of good nature, with limited success. But as years went by, Okubo’s clique eventually won out, becoming masters of the school... Tiir's last couple years at the Academy saw him near the top of the social pyramid there, Of course, after Primary, it was back to service with the family being trained in dance and managing slaves, while Okubo went to the House of Bells and contact was lost. Tiir's training, and present job administering slaves, take place in the Palace of Trees, headquarters of House Cynis in Pangu prefecture, far from the City and his parents.

Family
Painfully Cynis. Harsh judgemental parents. A trampy mother, Cynis Odassa,, from the big Cynis slaveowning household. His father Cynis Tiburon, from the pre-eminent Cynis slave-training household.. His grandmother, via Odassa, is Cynis Wisel. He is first cousins with Ledaal Shinjo, Tiburon being brother of Shinjo’s father Tabar. Tiir has two siblings, an unexalted brother that hates him and another exalted brother that is the favoured one. But we'll see about THAT! Nyah-ha!

Expanded Backgrounds

Reputation: 2
Cynis Tiir is not an unfamiliar name in the east of the Blessed Isle, for a number of reasons. The most obvious is his appearance: godlike beauty matched with excellent breeding make him a sought-after Dynast for marriage arrangementt and sexual liasons even amongst older Dynasts... those without such intent often seek to pull him to their galas regrdless, as the presence of such eye candy will always add to the occasion.
Beyond these mere physical characteristics, Tiir is known amongst those with an interest in dance and performance art to be an accomplished dncer, and amongst those arranging parties in Pangu due to his status as overseer of the well-known Rose Troupe of the Bevy of Effacious and Facile Blossoms slave legion.

Connections (House Cynis): 1
Cynis Akabar - Tiir's uncle, a slave trader who runs the Farm of Blessed and Eternal Chains east of the Imperial City's walls. Akabar spent extensive time travelling the Threshold during his youth, and built up a network of contacts and routes for acquisition of slaves which remains independent of the Guild, and is now a major source of Cynis income. Akabar's views on slave treatment, like most of Tiir's family, are brutal.

Connections (High Society): 1
Cynis Shen – A patron of the arts and renowned host of parties in the Imperial City, Shen has always had an eye for beautiful young Dynasts of talent, and continues to maintain contact with Tiir despite the latter’s current distance from the capital.

Hechmen: 1
Nimbus the slave - Slave, around the same age as Tiir. Raised as Tiir's personal servant from Tiir's birth, as childhood companion before Tiir was sent to primary school and Tiir's brother Tonar abused him horribly for several years. Upon Tiir's return, and beginning of overseer training, Nimbus was meant to be the 'practice slave' for Tiir to learn proper use of whip, chains, and other training tools, but Tiir was unable to perform such tasks due to empathy... the two have remained close, as much as master and slave can be, Nimbus sharing in Tiir’s work as slave overseer and his bed.
