Cian DeGraff

[Cian DeGraff]

I can feel the animal inside
My  r e s o l v e  is . weakening .
Pounding at the doors of my mind
It's nearly o v e r p o w e r i n g
I . cannot . begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again

GRAMARYE :: Cian has an animal scrying ability with the help of an enchanted ring that he never takes off. This power gives him the capability to enter the minds of animals and perceive the world through their senses and even control their actions. With this comes limitations and consequences. Not only is his actual body defenseless while he's in the mind of an animal, he can also sense the animal's emotions, thus their pain should they be hurt, which in turn leaves him with the aftermath of having to heal. If the animal he connects with is too wild, it may become difficult for Cian to hold on to his true self. It can become a dangerous task. There are times where he is not himself for awhile when he breaks a connection.

FACTS ::

• The second-born son to Desmond and Arieen DeGraff, Cian was the twin to Cara. He was the oldest by eight minutes. Later in life, he secretly followed in his older brother's footsteps to become a Warden after a Mystic attack took Cara's life.
• The DeGraffs are a well-known noble family within Teronna, and some claim that they were responsible for King Allarick creating the Wardens. Many of the DeGraff children even joined the military, so it is difficult not to wonder.
• Cara's death left Cian both extremely angry but empty inside. There was, and still is, this hole in his heart that he feels has been missing with her absence, and that will never be filled.
• Has always, since a young age, looked up to Rowan completely.
• Is overly protective of Dunstan because he's afraid his younger brother will do something really stupid to get himself killed.
• Cian has a fondness for nature which helped in his choosing of an enchantment when he was accepted among the Warden ranks. Now, he has the ability to enter the minds of even the most vicious of beasts, possessing them and using them during combat or in recon missions.
• Despite his family's ongoing feud with the Lee Fryes, Cian has developed some feelings for Aoife Lee Frye that he knows he shouldn't pursue, for various reasons. It has been difficult to ignore and he's not sure how to handle it.
