Details

With his height he is certainly a person that draws attention. Malacai is a rather good looking person. The man has a toned body which is the result of working hard. For a man his lips are rather full, yet it compliments him. His hair is raven black, half long and is worn loose or tied together depending on what he is doing. The man has a few scars running over his body, all from minor accidents that happened during work or in his free time.

The man doesn’t really carry himself with much pride. Though that doesn’t mean that he lacks confidence. He knows how he looks but he also knows his place in life. Which is that of a humble servant. Always willing to step up to the plate when it’s needed.

Clothing

As far as clothing goes, he wears rather simple things. Mostly clothing that is practical for him to work in. On occasion the man would dress up if he needed to attend more formal matters.

TraitsPrivate, Stubborn, Secretive

Malacai is just like his mother, a good hearted and hardworking man. He always wears a smile on his face, being as chipper as one can be. Trying to see the world in the best light possible. He loves helping out others, both within his job and outside of it. He has an encouraging aspect around him, whenever he notes that someone has a bad day he tries to lift their spirits. He tries to be a friend to everyone that might need it. He always had the tendency to listen more to others than to actually speak. Though when sought out for advice he will give it. While he knows that his personality can be a bit much at times he does know how to temper himself, adapting to any kind of situation is a skill he has mastered over the years.

He has an undying need to learn more, about anything really. Whenever he has the time he is to be found in the library studying everything. One simply can’t know too much. The urge to learn is something he wants to give onto his daughter when she is of the right age. Malacai can often be found doing things before actually thinking about them. Yet, in everything else he is rather cautious. Not sharing too much of himself with the world. Portraying himself as a simple human. While he isn’t just that.No, he knows exactly what he is and it is something he doesn’t want others to know. Simply because he is scared to be separated from his daughter and his mother most of all. He doesn’t want Naida to live the kind of life his mother had lived. Always running, never time to take a break. No, it’s best for them that their secrets remain their own.

History

Diona Macklin was a woman on the run. Simply because she was born as another species and hunted for that simple reason. The young woman was hunted her entire life, hopping from one town to another. Always taking on different names and appearances. Eventually ending up in Dawnmire, Ashmoor.
While she knew her stay here was only temporary, she met a man. Linus. A sailor that she fell for. Though she did run again. Only to return after. Her feelings had won. One thing led to another and they got married. Yet her secret wasn’t ever shared. Not yet. Linus was a hard working man, so he wasn’t home a whole lot. Eventually he had started working in the mines of Dawnmire, right after Diona got Lazarus.
One day Linus came home after a hard day at work. Yet no one was around. After waiting for a while he eventually went out to look for his wife and son. Which he found on the beach, or so he thought. Lazarus was there, but the woman who was with him, if he could call it a woman. Was something he had never seen before. Something that utterly shocked him and made him take the boy from the woman. Diona didn’t even try to convey that it was her. The look in her husband’s eyes terrified her. So she simply swam off. Her heart was broken about the fact that she couldn’t bring her little boy with.
Back home with their son, the man wasn’t over his shock entirely. But he found a diary his wife had been keeping, where he learned about what she was. Which in a way left him feeling heartbroken that he had chased her off like that. Yet that feeling soon made place for an undying need to protect Lazarus from everything. Which made him leave Dawnmire with his son, to go live on an island.
After a few weeks of travelling, Diona showed up again. With someone she had known when she had been a child. The woman had appeared in Silvercrest under the name Diona Cerwyn. She took her residence there, and started to build a life. One that was abruptly shocked when she noticed a few minor changes with herself. Which had been the same before. Diona was pregnant with Linus, his second child.
After working in a bakery for a little while, she met Amarië Aerendyl, wife of Cassiel. The two of them got to know each other and after helping the other out with a few minor things, she was approached to come work for the woman and her husband. An opportunity she happily took with the arrival of a second child in mind. The woman worked hard, or as hard as her state would allow her too. Yet not under false pretenses, telling the woman what she was and that she was indeed pregnant. But it did not appear to be a problem.

Childhood

Malacai was born during the eighth of the Mead Moon. He grew up in a loving home with a hardworking and kind mother who granted the boy everything she could. They weren’t very rich, but they didn’t have much trouble due to all the work his mom did.
As he grew up Cassiel and Amarië got a son of their own. Put one and one together and you get Malacai often coming to work with his mom to play around with Baleamor, something that was allowed by his father. The untimely passing of Amarië was something that stuck with his mother forever, but it also made her step up her game. Trying to do her very best, helping the man out with everything she could do. Which was mainly the care of his newborn son.
Apart from the trips to the residence where his mom worked he had a rather careless childhood. Enjoying little things. Getting proper schooling from people of their standing. Learned to bake and cook quite early on. They moved when the family they served moved as was expected of them.
Around the age of eight he was told about his father, his older brother and the magic that he possibly had. It had stunned him for a little while, not quite understanding why they had left their father and brother or why they hadn’t come with. But being so young, he found it quite easy to move along with his life. The simplicity of being a child.

Teenage years

His education was expanded to almost everything work related. Not that he minded. He also had the chance to learn how to ride a horse and to actually practice sword fighting whenever Baleamor took it up.
Around the age of fourteen he got the chance to work for Aerendyl's, just like his mother. And while he first started out as a baker in the kitchen, after a little while it was Cassiel who had granted him the chance to become a personal servant to her son. Which wasn’t out of the ordinary given that he and Baleamor had already got some sort of bond over the years.
A year later, his life got switched around entirely. While tidying up Baleamor’s room he made a glass of water fall from a table, all over himself. Nothing out of the ordinary. Yet this time around he suddenly shifted. Legs made place for a black and white tail, spikes growing out of his back. That panic of not being able to breathe in those first moments. It was his mother who found him in that room. It was also with her help that he eventually was able to turn back after what felt like ages. His mom pressed upon it again that he had to be careful when and if he ever changed. Because for better or for worse, they were still hunted.
Malacai kept up with his work. Being careful around bodies of water he sometimes couldn’t control. His personal life took a turn as well, since he had grown out to be quite a good looking kid. Which did result in him having quite a few friends around.

Adolescence

After the whole change and the untimely passing of Cassiel as well. They all moved back to Silvercrest. Diona tried doing her best to be there for Balaemor as well, but she was getting older as well. So it was Malacai who had to step up his game this time around. It wasn’t always the easiest task, given that the young man he worked for wasn’t the easiest to begin with. Certainly not after his father passed as well. Yet Malacai tried.
Around the age of 22, a woman had gotten in the picture. While things were meant to go slow, one drunk night led to something else entirely. A short lived romance which turned into the scare of his life when she announced her pregnancy. Which was also the moment her personality took a big turn. She was getting vile and all kinds of things. Which in the end, left him with Naida. The mother had decided that she wanted nothing to do with it.
Right now, his daughter is one year old. And she gets to spend a whole lot of time with her grandmother when he is at work. Though he isn’t an absent father, if anything. Malacai is the most loving dad a child could imagine.
