Overview
Sylas is a Chaotic Good tiefling whose outlook is shaped by both tragedy and resilience. Though outcast from society, he carries the perspective of once having been human and still believes people can look past his appearance to the person within. Rooted in the customs of Autumngrove, he clings to that sense of belonging even as he carves out a life on the fringes. Disciplined from his years under the harsh rule of Cattivu’s Will, he approaches his goals with focus, though the scars of that time also left him overly trusting of others. He fears heights from his childhood death, a reminder of mortality that lingers in the back of his mind. While not a tactician or leader, Sylas thrives through confidence, emotional intuition, and practical wisdom. He earns trust when given the chance and embodying the quiet strength of someone determined to live true to himself despite chaos.
Appearance
Tall, striking Tiefling with deep crimson skin, curling horns, and long, flowing red hair that frames a confident, mischievous smile and sharp golden eyes. He wears a sleeveless dark tunic secured with a belt, showing his muscular frame, and a single piece of black shoulder armor. Wields a staff tipped with a crystal rests on his back.
Background
Sylas was born human in Autumngrove and lived a safe, normal childhood until a tragic accident claimed his life—only for him to be mysteriously resurrected as a Tiefling. Cast out and forced to survive young, he grew street-smart and found solace in the wilderness, developing a passion for plants. Taken in by the cult of Cattivu’s Will, he endured brutal discipline and forged deep bonds, but his wild magic surges marked him as a liability. Escaping execution by sheer chance, he disguised himself and returned to Autumngrove, studying botany and befriending Lionel—until another surge revealed his true nature, forcing him to flee once more.
Current Activity
Now in the Ember Woods, Sylas devotes himself to mastering his chaotic powers, desperate to understand why he was chosen and determined not to let his magic control his fate.
