Cian Ryan

“Just give me the reading already," I demanded. I knew the basics of tarot, of course, but what to make of the mess in front of me, I had no idea.

“Fine, but it'll be one aureus."

I frowned. "But we're friends now, right?"

Cian grinned widely. “I'm reading your fates, Ves. And fate is expensive. Also when I did my own reading this morning, I was told I would come into money in my business, and here we are. See how good I am? Now it's one aureus, two quinarius aurei."

Personal history

Cian was born in Coria, Hibernia to Morgan Ryan and Claire Ryan. As a member of the distinguished Ryan family, Cian grew up with wealth and privilege.   Cian's family moved to Ilyrium when Cian was five; his father desired a spot on the Council, which is based in Ilyrium. However, Cian and his family often visit Coria, where both his paternal and maternal grandparents still live.   At age three, Cian's magic emerged; because of his young age, Cian's talent was extremely obvious. Cian's magic proved to be very strong, but Cian's strongest talents were in divination and other psychic abilities. When Cian started the Academy, he initially got in trouble for charging his fellow students for readings, but teachers also realized the extent of Cian's talents.   In 2011, Cian graduated the Academy, and immediately passed his Exams. Later that year, Cian was admitted to the Institute, and two years later he admitted into the Athenaeum and mentored with [TBD], who helped Cian focus even more on his psychic abilities. Cian was a popular student, and he had many friends, including Orion Drake, his best friend who later became a famous artisan.   A year before his graduation from the Institute, Cian could no longer handle the burden he faced with his psychic magic and attempted to commit suicide. Fortunately, he was unsuccessful, although he continues to suffer from bouts of depression.   In 2013, Cian graduated the Institute and two years later graduated from the Athenaeum. He then decided to open a tarot card business, Cian's Tarot Readings, which was immediately successful. The next year, Cian was promoted to Level Six, and also began to do freelance work for the Council. However, his tarot card business was still Cian's main focus. The next year, Cian was promoted to Level Five. He has no intention of Leveling up further, as his businesss keeps him incredibly busy.

Education

Like other children of United Britannia and Hibernia, Cian started attending the Academy at age ten, and was then examined by the Magisterium at age fourteen. From the ages of fourteen to sixteen, he studied at the Institute. From sixteen to eighteen, he attended the Athenaeum and was mentored by PLACEHOLDER, a witch gifted with psychic magic. Cian was often given special instruction to ensure his talents were properly encouraged.

Failures & Embarrassments

Although Cian is a very powerful witch, his moods often affect his magic. For example, when Cian feels depressed, his power decreases significantly, a fact that deeply embarrasses him.

Mental Trauma

Because of Cian's magical specialities, he is often burdened with things he cannot change. At one point, Cian became so depressed that he attempted suicide.
