The Ceru Family

"Strength from Unity”

The Ceru family is comprised of mali’ker renowned for their combatant abilities. Though they have existed for centuries, the name rose to prominence decades after the migration to Almaris when Ceru siblings--Elsiimah and Elsil--founded the Rustlers, a dangerous and infamous bandit group for hire.

Living Members:

Physical Appearance

All Ceru's are mali’ker with ashen gray skin. Their hair is tinted shades of white and black, and their eyes vary most commonly between purple, red, and orange. Most Ceru's stand at heights between 5’10 - 6’7 and are naturally bulky due to their ancestors’ laborious past. 

 

Family History

Ancient members of the Ceru family worked as various laborers, primarily employed in the fields of farming and ranching. While the vast majority of the family participated in honest work, a few opted to become “rustlers” in its literal term--cattle stealers. While the lives of most ancient Ceru’s were taken from them due to poor living conditions, these “rustlers” lived on to procreate and live modest lives on the outskirts of society.

 

In later generations, the Ceru’s largely abandoned their malicious practices of stealing cattle and instead, trained in combatant roles. Many Ceru’s found themselves fighting in the armies of various nations in order to receive a fair living wage. Despite their proficiency in combat, no Ceru ever reached a high ranking military position.

 

While most Ceru’s took to honest work, a small minority of the family continued stealing cattle and eventually, began banditting the roads. Nevertheless, few family members partook in such activity, so the Ceru’s never became prominent or feared brigands.

 

Decades following the migration to Almaris, siblings Elsiimah and Elsil'Ceru rose to prominence after their founding of the Rustlers, an infamous and dangerous bandit group for hire. The siblings had not descended from a branch of Ceru which had participated in cattle stealing or banditry--in fact, both their parents were guards of Vira’ker. Nevertheless, they had grown up hearing stories of their distant and ancient relatives. Though such accounts were told with disdain from their parents, the siblings’ pure greed and lust for power drove them to follow in the footsteps of their misaligned ancestors. 

 

In search of riches and power, the siblings abandoned their work as Goats of Sedan, and instead founded the Rustlers, named in honor of their ancient cattle-robbing predecessors. Quickly, the siblings rose to prominence as the Rustlers became feared by many across Almaris.

Just like their store-bought counterparts, Rustlers are tough on the outside, but soft on the inside. <3

'Dee' compared the names to a local announcement, resting her head on the paper. Moving to her makeshift desk, the thin lass stashed away her copy of the family scripture. "I hope this was the right choice..." Now gazing out to the sea, the scent poisoned her senses. "We'll be ok."

It'll take me some time to getting used to, but I'll do my best in getting to know you all better. :)
