==History== In the kingdom of Telleimare, on the edge of the Hundred Kingdoms, there is a king. Archer Oak is good and wise, blessed with the Wood Dragon's Exaltation, and has many years to go before his death. He is a content man, even after a century of rule, with very little interest in expanding his power. One of his treasures is his jester, always of the Cyrano family, always needing to be bold enough to tell him when he does something foolish.<br> Vert Cyrano was the third generation of Cyrano with the honor, a handsome man with bright green eyes and a somewhat off-kilter mind. Even with his madness, he was good at his trade, and was smart enough to know he needed an heir. Vert hired a witty courtesan to sire him a child and sent her on her way once the boy was born. Unfortunately, Vert did not understand how to raise a child, and begged his liege lord to help him whenever the infant fell ill, which was often. Archer gladly took the boy into his care.<br> Thus, Sacre was raised in the castle, a sickly little boy often in the library, often needing medicine and charms from the king to not become sick yet again. Vert would visit often, telling his young son stories and jokes, booming with laughter when his son began to repeat back his jokes, learning a love of linguistics from his father (much to Archer's distress). In an attempt to combat the boy's developing mischief, Archer taught him how to read, and quickly discovered it only did one thing.<br> Temporarily shut him up. The young Cyrano would spend his healthy days in the library, his nose buried in a book to make up for his poor eyesight, until his father dragged him out, ready to teach his son the trade of a jester. Though Sacre learned borderline pieces of the art, he seemed disinterested in acting and singing, being far, far more interested in people. His skills fell into talking to people, joking with them, understanding the rhythm of the court and understanding its graces as well as its nobles. He became a confidante of several younger nobles, their friends, their secret keepers.<br> Yet, Sacre still thought his destiny would be a jester, even as he matured into a young man. Words came easily to him, another joy and laughter his own. It took King Archer outright telling him on his eighteenth birthday that he was not meant for being a jester. Well, Archer had no intention of letting him. He gave Sacre a choice. He could take his freedom and leave the kingdom, as free as a bird but never able to return home... Or accept the offer of becoming the kingdom's diplomat and serving the crown that way.<br> With a heavy heart, Sacre agreed to it, and on the battlements that night, he made peace with his fate. After all, Serenity was knowing your path and taking it. A few days later, a Journeys took him to Yu-shan for training. The Bronze Faction, as it always would, attempted to woo him to their cause, but Sacre’s love of linguistical abuse and his first meeting with a Bronze faction Battles let him with his first broken nose and a mild distrust of Kejak’s faction.<br> Orradi Filia, a fellow Joybringer, took advantage of his annoyance and took him under his wing, telling him stories of the Solars and the First Age, giving him books to read while his nose healed and he waited for another teacher to visit him for more education. He learned of grace and sorcery, finding his trial completed by the loss of his dreams of being a jester, accepting that fate had other things in store. Over the year, he found himself drawn to a martial style known as the Heart-Breaking Blade Style. Filia was more than happy to train the young man, using the time during matches and lessons to continue swaying him to the Gold Faction.<br> Sacre at this point is known for his inability to not make a pun at least once during a meeting, and for his cheerful devotion to the Gold Faction. It hasn’t exactly endeared him to most people, but he tries to be at least competent and quiet for the most part. His punnery is what keeps him at a beginning Salary, but the Gold Faction and a handful of gods now at least gives him some respect. The Serenity recently was given an order by Ayesha Ura herself, told to manage the problem with Nine Oaks… guiding a handful of Exalts to unite against him before they take up arms themselves.<br> It still doesn’t mean he is blessed. Over the last few months, traveling in disguise, Sacre has broken enough bones to be on par to what he got in heaven, found a powerful and very hidden Solar manse but had to stay in it for a month, letting his broken arm heal, and has run into a Rashka who apparently remembers him from multiple incarnations and has declared itself his rival.<br> It’s going to be a long trip to reuniting the Kingdoms.
