Appearance
Tall | Colourful | Eclectic Dress Sense | Fox Tail
Ianto’s face is young but his cool blue eyes are old, and they dance with a thousand tales long forgotten by most. He stands at a very respectable height, of solid build and broad shoulders, sporting a shock of coppery hair that is often left loose to tumble about his face. Almost as comfortable in his fox form as out of it, Ianto regularly delights in a partial shift – in fact he is rarely seen without his fox’s tail on show.
He smiles easily and openly, often enough to spot the gold that flashes in place of one of his incisors (it was knocked out in a scuffle as a boy). His fashion sense, however, is what makes him truly stand out. He dresses eclectically in an array of the shabbiest finery; ruddy waistcoats decorated with feathers, gems and other trinkets, work boots laced in a variety of colours and a tool belt littered with pockets which are filled with mysteries and surprises. Over it all he wears a beaten brown trench coat with a wide hood, the garment sentimental and almost like a second skin to him now.
Personality
Charismatic | Savvy | Coward
Quietly charismatic and with a lilting voice that was practically made to charm (OOC: Definitely an Irish accent), Ianto has been forged into a man built for business. He can be your closest friend one moment and a sharp tongued merchant the next, seamlessly stitching together the right words and actions to get the job done.
Capable of selling water to a mermaid and fire to a flame sprite, Ianto trades in much more than just coin. He often deals in favours and stories, selling wares in exchange for titbits of information or something seemingly worthless, such as a lock of hair or a song.
He does, however, have his vices. Ianto is notorious for getting in over his head, owing more than he can pay back or pissing off the wrong person; previously on these occasions, he would shamelessly rely on his master or mistress to get him out of hot water. Now he's a free man, and his consequences are his own. Even so, in the presence of any dangerous authority, Ianto undergoes a personality transplant. Becoming perfectly compliant and subservient, he is still a slave at heart, slipping back into those shackles like they were an old friend.
History
Ianto was born to a commoner mother and a shapechanger father. They were unmarried and the union was brief and… transactional, given that it took place inside the brothel where his mother worked. Poverty, illness and depravity ruled the district and, upon finding herself with child, Ianto’s mother was forced onto the streets. She gave birth on a winter morning in a butcher’s store room, alone and terrified.
Ianto knows none of this.
He was found on the streets at just a few days old, squalling in a filthy blanket, abandoned between two storage crates. The good news, of course, is that he was found, saving his life and giving him a future. The bad news revolved around just who found him, and what that future would entail.
His first memories come through a fox’s eyes. Given that he has never and will never know any different, this appears as ordinary to him as any other childhood. Unbeknownst to him, an illegal ceremony performed mere weeks after his birth set him on a shapechanger’s path before he could decide for himself. Nevertheless, he seemed to thrive on it. Ianto’s early years were a game of escape with his apparent family; he ran away frequently and was punished even more often, but it was the only normality that he knew.
It was normal, too, that he often gained and lost ‘siblings’ – other children whose arrival and departure was punctuated by the exchange of coin. Only when his turn finally came, at the age of fourteen, did he realise that he had been raised just to be sold.
Warren Swanson was an enigma to the young fox. After passing into his ownership, in Ianto’s eyes he became both hero and villain, both tormentor and saviour in equal measure. After some initial teething problems that put a swift end to Ianto’s escapism and antics, his education began in earnest. The quirky caravan that Warren called the Wumpus Wagon and the sprawling empire it would eventually become was his bread and butter, and what started as play and lessons soon morphed into a meticulous apprenticeship that saw him mature into a fierce businessman.
His crowning achievement, of course, was when his master was selected to go through to Northaven with the Second Wave, leaving the Wumpus Wagon’s remaining caravans in Ianto’s care. And they all lived happily ever after.
Not.
War took out the bulk of the business. Ianto lost merchants, stock and all manner of other assets, and anything that remained was left vulnerable to robbery or abandonment or even theft by those he had employed to manage it. Ianto resorted to bad deals and gross loans, which soon accumulated into massive amounts of debt. In mere months, the rest of the Wumpus Wagon’s empire was in ruins.
It was at his lowest point that Warren, predictably, requested someone check on his apprentice by means of a portal. And that, understandably, went down like a lead balloon. Shortly after, without knowing how many strings his master had to pull or how tightly, Ianto found himself invited to Northaven to face the music. His time there was brief, and blessedly free of punishment, before he was swallowed up into somewhere entirely different.
308 PC - Leafchange: Unlike the majority of the Northaveners pulled into the world by the Voice and the Core, Ianto was flung outside the barrier, into the wilderness of the Greatwood. To survive, Ianto made himself the charge of an outcast Fae in the Wildwood. Running the Wishing Wagon on her behest, he did his very best to make himself useful to those who live in the forest.
309 PC - Flowerbirth: The barrier fell around the Hollowed Grounds, reuniting Ianto with many of those he had lost. In particular, he found Remi Abruzzo once more, and the two began a fledgling relationship which would ultimately end when Remi fell in love with Ronin Taliesin.
309 PC - Leafchange: Disappearing into the Greatwood with Arduinna, Ianto is drugged and primed as a fighter in the Cloister of Trials, despite his gentle nature.
309 PC - Deepfrost: Arduinna sacrifices herself to aid the halt of the blight, freeing Ianto from her shackles. He disappears once more into the woods, appearing only now and then to sell goods in his Wishing Wagon.
311 PC - Longheat: Arriving in Torchline after a long absence, looking for his friend James, Ianto encounters Remi and hears of his leaving his post as Torchline's Governor. He offers him the use of the Wishing Wagon for traversing the Greatwood to go on aDveNTuReS.
311 PC - Leafchange: Finding himself semi-living with Remi and his son Mateo as Remi tries to turn the Greatwood into some kind of stronghold, Ianto becomes half confidante, half babysitter.
312 PC - Flowerbirth: Unbeknownst to Ianto, some drug and booze addled enjoyment at Torchline's Halenani during Longheat has resulted in a child. The child's mother regrettably died during Deepfrost, and so Fiadh arrives in his life shortly after, to grow and thrive in the Greatwood.
Other
- Owner of the Wishing Wagon, which can often be seen trundling through the Greatwood with wares for sale.
