Cyric's SCA Career
Cyric has been playing off and on in the SCA for almost 10 years. For his early years he wandered aimlessly from camp to camp, stopping here and there with people he found kinship with. Those of House Boar's Head, Krakken, the Fallen Brotherhood of St Bacchus, and now House Awry have given him shelter and food and to whom Cyric will be forever grateful. It was not until 2005 that he found something of a purpose for himself: Thrown Weapons. With some skills he learned from his friends of the mountain men, buckskin-wearing enthusiasts with a penchant for black powder, he quickly raised his scores to rival those of seasoned veterans. In October of 2006 he won the Thrown Weapons Championship at Last Chance and shortly thereafter was awarded a Snap Dragon by their excellencies Cedric Wlfraven and Brighid Ross. The following year saw Cyric at more events, notably June Fair/Yule/Autumn War, continuing his thrown weapons-themed romp as an Officer of Dragon's Laire by running the range at June Fair and Last Chance. He also caught the eye of a prominent figure in the community and was asked to become an Arcarius to THL Arion the Wanderer, an honor that Cyric is thankful for not only due to the amount of knowledge he has gained in service but for Arion's patience and understanding when Cyric starts cracking jokes. Unfortunately, shortly after he passed the torch to the new Thrown Weapons champion he stepped down as officer due to the rigors and perpetual intrusion of "Real Life".
During the next few years Cyric saw a meager few events and only saw his long-lost friends in fleeting glances and all-too-short chance meetings. In an effort to change this he has breathed new life into his SCA journey by joining with the somewhat ever-present and always eager to serve House Awry. Now that the wayward son has returned to the SCA that he had missed so dearly Cyric has stepped back in to his niche as a thrown weapons enthusiast while branching out into archery (both target and combat), arts and sciences, some heraldry (a calling he feels he cant ignore), siege weapon engineer and service to the barony and kingdom with House Awry.
