I was born a charming man with silver tongue, pearl teeth This’s never how it’s ‘sposed to end, we’re promised all we dreamed The envy of the Everyman our family seemed complete Our father was a charming man, our mother a serene.

Clipped wings, I was a broken thing Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing You would wind me down I struggled on the ground, oh So lost, the line had been crossed Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk You held me down I struggle to fly now, oh.  

With you, these streets are heaven Now home feels so foreign They told me I was mistaken, infatuated And I was afraid to trust my hunches Now I am ready; Daddy don’t be mad that I’m leaving Please let me worry about me Mama don’t you worry about me This is my story.

The boy who fell into the sky Had no one there to watch him cry He looked at you with his empty eyes and said: “I’m doing you a favor, doing you a favor.”

_____

      SASHA FAYE is the lone first-born son of the late clan leader, Lord BALOR FAYE, and Lady HERA, Empress Consort of DEEPWYN - an ancient land that has been under the reign of the Faye Dynasty for centuries. Born into the Head Family as the clan’s future successor, Sasha’s destiny was set in stone from the day he was conceived and is very much a child created out of political ties. While he currently possesses a seat in the land’s council and leads the pack of HUNTERS that double as their military strength, Dowager Empress ENYO holdstemporary regency in place of Sasha until he is deemed of proper age to inherit the title of clan leader.

An astute yet unusually aloof individual from a very young age, Sasha was always revered by his peers as THE GOLDEN CHILD; not solely due to the fact that he is known as the only son of the Head Family, but also because of his brilliant PROFICIENCY on the battlefield, his ruthless approach in decision-making towards certain matters, as well as his natural ability to take charge of and lead alongside others - all of which spoke wonders of how he would inevitably grow up to be a fierce and accomplished warrior. He is described as a PRODIGY by his elders and carries all the hopes and expectations of his people on his back for when he eventually comes into power, particularly following the assassination of his biological FATHER, supposedly at the hands of a PIRATEwoman whom he had been unwittingly seduced by; and later, back-stabbed by in a fit of vengeance.

Raised by his somewhat overbearing MOTHER, an authoritarian GRANDMOTHER, and a team of strict care-takers, Sasha’s upbringing was congested with tightly-packed schedules in order to hone various skills befitting of his role - rigorous, backbreaking training that could’ve surely been described as far too taxing and challenging for most children his age to handle. There was immense pressure on him to succeed taking after his father, a warrior both admired and feared as one of the most glorified leaders in HISTORY; winning many of a gruesome war and establishing many vital political connections that guided Deepwyn to flourish under his rule.

The death of Balor was an UNFORESEEN one that shocked the entire clan and threw their population into both outrage and chaos - reinforcing their deep-rooted bias against pirates even more prominently than it’s ever been before. The incident brought about great dishonour and shame upon their pride as warriors, and the clan grew bitter with renewed distrust towards the rising era of piracy, especially when it was revealed that the pirate responsible, CAMERON, was found to be impregnated with Balor’s child in the midst of her prosecution, hence the UNWANTED birth of SIOBHAN FAYE, Sasha’s half-sister.

Unlike Sasha, Siobhan was viewed with much disdain and contempt for bearing the blood of an OUTSIDER in spite of being allowed into existence by verdict of the council in honour of the laws set in place by their ancestors. For the Faye Clan, it was traditionally stated that NO HARM should come upon the Head Family’s lineage, half-ling or not, and thus the concept of an abortion was ultimately denied. ‘Second Heir’ was an empty title based on FORMALITY and nothing else for Balor’s bastard daughter. She was commonly ABUSED and formally exempted from the privileges typically bestowed on the Clan Leader’s offspring, leaving her as little more than a PLANNED MARRIAGE PIECE to be used for creating ties with neighbouring countries once she reached maturity. However, disregarding the vast differences between them in personality, circumstance and status, Siobhan would come to be known as the most treasured aspect of Sasha’s life. There was something about his little sister that he would grow to love and cherish more than anything he’s ever had before, and they quickly became INSEPARABLE, practically joined at the hip, against all odds and disapproval voiced by those around them. He never looked at her the same way the rest of their clan did, plainly seeing her as nothing other than one of his own, and practically raised her by his own hand the best he could when no one else properly would. He became overwhelmingly PROTECTIVE of Siobhan over the years, realising the full extent and severity of the discrimination she was facing from others others, and would frequently go through various lengths to keep her safe; such as lying on her behalf in front of their care-takers (something he never did otherwise), chastising her for not obeying his (sometimes ridiculous) instructions to prevent her from getting into trouble, following her around whenever he wasn’t shackled to his duties, and even inflicting VIOLENCE on those who was caught tormenting her. These were all unique changes in Sasha’s mostly FLAWLESS behaviour that were frowned upon by his elders, the popular speculation being that Siobhan’s presence was influencing his disorderly conduct, although, there was nothing much that could be done to discourage the siblings’ bond between one another - much to everyone’s annoyance.  

Then, a day would come when EVERYTHING CHANGED for the worst. While Sasha was taken into the woods to participate in one of his many hunting lessons, Siobhan was left to fend for herself until she was found by one of spiteful children who remained ENVIOUS of the tight-knitted relationship she shared with her brother, who they looked up to yet never gained the acknowledgement of. Wanting to vent their frustration out on her and knowing that she had no one to defend her in that moment, they took the opportunity to corner her and began assaulting the defenceless girl - gravely injuring her and leaving her with a back full of SCARS as a result of their altercation. Sasha would then return, horrified, to find out that the plans for his baby sister were to be changed ENTIRELY - now implementing the new arrangement that she was to be the CHILD CONCUBINE of an interested king who lived in the East Blue sea, far, far away from Deepwyn due to her no longer being in pristine condition. The council was thoroughly convinced and likewise CONCERNED that her disfigurement had negatively affected her value as a marriage piece and wasted no time in seeking out an alternative way to rid of her as swiftly as possible, not wanting to run the risk of having her stay a permanent part of the Head Family. She was taken from him not long after, and claimed to have died in a thunderstorm while attempting to escape.

As a result, Sasha no longer finds himself getting overly attached to his peers, choosing to remain emotionally isolated; as that part of him died along with his sister.

He has found MINIMAL solace in exerting efforts towards becoming future clan leader with every approaching year, and has earned himself a NEFARIOUS reputation in the illegal underground along his way. Outside of Deepwyn; within the innards of corrupt gambling dens and sordid black markets, his informal title echoes eerily throughout the New World as the Black Shuck.

I am trying to eat myself into a person who doesn’t have any questions for water. Most of the time I just want to keep my teeth busy and my hands full of things I still know the use for. Knife, salt cellar, bones.
