Gifts from the Other Side (Personal Tokens)
- Clothing
- Hakama Tsunami (Pants of the Tidal Wave)
- Description: These pants when looked upon in the Mortal realm look nothing more then just ordinary faded black karate pants with a deep blue sash. Yet, those who can see its true form will notice that the martial arts pants were woven from the very fabric of the oceans waves itself. The Pants are a light blue which as Vayne practices his Capoeira Forms in them or is fighting; the little ripples within the water become violent and become waves. Granted, they actually do not jump out of the pants, yet just looking at them is like looking over the ocean. With that, the Sash is made of the same material, yet, it’s a dark blue, almost black and like the pants, when he begins to fight, the normal little ripples become violent waves.
- Story on how they were gained: Tesu, Vaynes Capoeira teacher and "Father" while he was in service to Arden Chains gave him the pants when he achieved the right to finally fit in the Pits in the Kingdom of Sol. Vayne made sure that the pants and Sash given to him were well taken care.
What Others Will Know of Me
Vayne is a man who seems to live life pretty openly, much like the stereotypical Gypsies. He is the one who often time comes into an area, hangs out and leaves after he feels that he has either done what he needed to do or things get to hot for him. Those who take him at face value see him as a light hearted man who uses his charm and appearance to get people to do as he pleases. Yet, those who truly know him have seen the deeper side to his soul, the side that has a deep understanding of the world he is in and the world he wishes to create for himself and his Family. Yet, regardless of this aspect, he is often times the one who ends up causing problems at local clubs when most of the mortal women’s attention is centered on him instead of their intended lovers. Vayne is also known to help people achieve what they desire, which is why he is seen as a valued member among the Spring Court.
After his release and his time upon the mortal world, he has only been with a handful of people. Yet most of the time if he has any type of physical relations it’s with his Sister Ronyo Cruxis. As much as they are Brother and Sister many mistake them for lovers as they often times end making out with one another... or worse. Which, at the time before anyone realizes their brother and sister, its kind of enjoyable to watch them go at it, yet when people either know or find out the truth (which they don't seem to hide) many tend to see them as relatively sick people.
The Religion that Defines
Faith is something hard to find in ones self. When one has came from a place where Magic came from ones will, it's only natural that one sees that their will as the guiding source of the power. Yet, slowly, I'm starting to see a connection with the Will, Magic and Gods. Because one has Faith in the Gods does not mean the Gods Fuel the Magic within, it just means they give strength to help you fuel that magic and make it more potent then what it once was. As of right now, I'm still trying to find the path that suits me most. - Vayne Cruxis
Basic Idea of Vayne's Life
Born: July 21st 1958
Kidnapping: August 5th 1971
Vayne was kidnapped from his home when he was about 8 years of age. He spent the first four months in captivity as a normal slave within a noble fairest house hold. When the four months came around he made a break for the hedge but was captured and a few days later sold to a new owner. With this he was sold to become a pit brawler which after a while he learned how to fight with his hands tied and with the instructions of someone who knew extensive knowledge of Capoeira he took to the style quickly and learned how to keep himself from being beaten to bad.
Eventually as he grew into his teens he became very stunning and started to capture the eye of very prominent individuals and because of this it wasn't rare that from time to time he was sold to those individuals for a night or two. Eventually, his last four months as a slave he was sold to the Queen of (Kingdom name here) as a personal pet who she groomed and on many occasions enjoyed in many ways from fighting to sexual conduct. Eventually he gained enough lean way with the Queen and offered his mortal name to her for his release and she accepted the trade but with a condition. He had to take on her last name to show he was once hers, which he gladly took, in some aspects, a bit to eagerly and earned his freedom. With perfect timing, no more then maybe a day had passed when his sister helps Vayne get back to the Mortal world, where he finds that everything truly has changed. After staying away for six months within his two years he found himself drawn to the Hedge and went back and forth between the mortal world and the Hedge and eventually began to rise up within the Spring Court as a prominent member.
In depth Background
Those who Have My Heart (or Attention Anyways)
- Lalita Das - Someone I'm currently seeing, and have been seeing since the last two weeks of June of 07. Our relationship has been on and off constantly, yet regardless of the situation we're always on good terms with one another.
Kin of Soul and Heart
- Ronyo Cruxis - My Dear Sister who was there from the start. As much as she truly isn't my sister in blood, she has become such through the years. Its funny, even though she was the one who captured me and brought me into this world, we became very close over the years. So now she is Kin and I love her as much as any other family member would... I assume, perhaps more.
- Charity - The Identical Twin Sister to Ronyo and my Other sister who I help on many occasion with her personal business. Unlike my relations with Ronyo, we aren't active in the physical manner with one another.
My Buddies in Crime
- Clara - A Mysterious friend who I've saved some months ago from harm. She has been able to give me sound advice on many occasions and besides being a friend she is also an advisor.
- Gaea - A Good friend and ex lover, we broke up around the last week of April. We really didn't seem to fit together as a couple, but she is a good close friend who I can trust and rely on.
- Lilium - A Close friend who I helped on a few occasions. I've taught her a bit of dancing and was a body guard for her on a few occasions.
- Martiya - Fellow member of the same Motley I'm apart of and one of the three that stepped across the Hedge with me. I help her out from time to time.
- Remy Carson - I remember her from when Arden took me out of Sol for a bit to fight in some of the "Lambs" Brawler Circles. I remember one of the fights was against this Oger who hit like a stone wall and messed me up pretty badly. I was lucky to have won that fight let alone walk out of the ring. Remy patched me up a lot better then Alana... which to tell the truth I think Alana was a bit jealous because another woman other woman was allowed to touch me in the manner to help heal me. Recently I ran into her again, this time on the other side of the Hedge, wasn't sick or anything, just one of those weird things fate likes to throw in play from time to time.
- Contrary Mary - The time we spent together was magical... well seriously it was. I was stuck in some wild growth area within the Hedge when Mary came to my rescue. if it wasn't for her I'm sure I would still be wondering that place. Well... anyways since they we've became friends and travel from time to time. Not sure when our next big trip is, but I hope it’s soon.
- Gerri Williams - This little bird and I hooked up about six months to a year ago while traveling around. We ended up hooking up on the road as travel buddies and from time to time shared each others personal company. To this day we stay in touch and try to travel together when possible.
Those I've Barely Met or Know Much About
- Clockwork - I worked for this odd individual on a couple of occasions. We're aren't exactly friends, but I value his work and am more then willing to work for him again.
- Edria Meredith - A woman of interest who I found one day while traveling. We hooked up upon the road and traveled together for a few days. Which during that time she gave me a bit of insight into the deeper meanings of what I look for and become of my interest, she brought me under her group to teach me of Faith, Religion and of the deeper aspects of Fae Magic.
Reminders of Good Times (Quotes)
- "Call it the will of a Dark God or a Curse from Satan, the fact remains that I left my world that night and found across the hedge a world steeped in Chaos. Chaos ensued around me, it came to me, it called to me, and finally it devoured me and took me to a place far darker then my darkest nightmares. Who could I pray to when the world I knew no longer exist and I no longer was who I was? In the darkness of my cell a voice beguiles me... it speaks a name, familiar yet not... It speaks "Remember what was lost... and keep hope that you will return..." - From The thoughts of a Boy Who Wandered into Another World
- "What? It was with my Sister, how is that cheating if it was with my sister?" - Cruxis trying to figure out why it’s cheating
- "What makes family? Well that’s simple, its blood. With that said I believe her and I have shared enough blood... among other things..." - Vayne talking to someone about 'Family Ties'
- "You two sure act weird for calling yourself siblings...something’s just not natural between the two of you" - A casual observance made by an acquaintance of Ronyo's, watching her and Vayne’s rather public display of affection towards one another one evening
- "Stallions never think with their brains." Gaea picking on Vayne.
- "So... you say there are some sort of special moves that you use that will make me happy? What do you... OHHHHHHHHHH... Okay..." <contorts head a little> "Not sure how that is supposed to... OHHH JESUS CHRRIIIISSST..." - The Comment made by Vayne the first time Lalita showed him one of her "Specialties" in bed.
- "Guido... this man upsets me... remove this trash will you." <Looks at Clockwork for a moment> "Ummmm... Boss... It’s Vayne, Not..." <Clockwork looks at Vayne> "Right now your working for me... so its Guido... now take care of the TRASH!" <Vayne Nods and walks off> "Yes Sir..." <in the background you hear the noise of a scuffle> "HEY GUIDO'S NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!" - Vayne when asked by Clockwork to help him out with a pesky fetch
- "Vayne? Yeah, I've heard of him, but no two stories sound the same. One calls him a hero, the other a lech. Regardless, Clara seems to think he's got some purpose left in this world. I wonder what it may be" - Stephen Daedalus's remarks upon Vayne Cruxis
- "I heard Vayne is not a very good kisser...He was trying to kiss my motley mate and instead of swooning her to her desires he made her cry. Sometimes we spring can be selfish in our desires to the point we crush the desires of those around us." - Vicky Sage When asked how her day was...
- "He should take out stock in Gauze. And pressure bandages. And tourniquets. And while he's investing, he should keep an EMT on hand at all times." - Remy Carson When discussing her history with Vayne.
The Delightful and Wrong Things They Say (Rumors)
- Vayne and Ronyo often time end up going to bed with one another even though they are family. They are not lovers, but they seem to enjoy each other regardless in such fashion and in often time’s very public display.
- There is some talk that Vayne only has one love and that was the Queen who owned him before he left Arcadia.
- Many believe that he secretly was married to the Queen and was going to live as her true love, until someone threaten to bring this information to light, which is why he was "released" from her keeping and given freedom.
- Its Rumored that Lalita and Ronyo have a competition on who can make Vayne the Happiest in bed.
