Spotlight on: Fury Blackwood

Full Name: Oxford Fury Blackwood
Birthday: March 2, 1983
Method of Creation: #1- He started as a name.

Fury is one of the newer ones. It all started when I was talking to a friend of mine online. He happens to have a young son and somehow our group started talking about names and he said that he wanted his son's middle name to be Fury but his girlfriend said no. They decided on Onyx instead. I personally thought Fury would be the prefect name for a dark but not antisocial person, most likely a "hardcore" musician.

As time went on, I forgot about the name but as time went on and school was starting (and I was filling out the band and orchestra for future character development) the name came back to me. I finally decided to put it in. I needed a principal violinist and Fury was the man to take it. He became a Catin or half-Catin man with sharp facial features and burning, piercing eyes. The violin is most of his life and he puts his entire soul into playing. I toyed between this body type or a more Goth person but the Catin in me won. His hair is black and very long and flowing. Sound familiar? It sounds like Dr. Sorela.

However, unlike Dr. Sorela, Fury is not quiet and mysterious. Well, he is when he's not playing. Then he's a completely different person. His parents named him well. No, he is not always angry.

So as I was thinking, I realized that Fury was going to be a little older than most of his peers so I decided to have him be a graduate student. He was born in Alton, Kalitonia (the main city where Robin is from) and went to college there and got his music education and performance degrees. He then went on to graduate school for his performance and ended up here. He is 26 years old currently and is married to a beautiful, quirky gal named Jennifer, who plays the piano and also has a performance degree. They also have three children- Marjorie, Onyx, and Rhiannon.

Fury is a man that people are drawn to. There's just something about his personality that is different and people always comment on how they gravitate towards him. Most don't know what it is. They think it's just the way he is. They're partly right. He has Terabi Tana. This is what makes him so much like Dr. Sorela because, as we know, he has it too. Fury is always on the alert for things and has a very caring nature. Plus, his gift of trust draws people to him. One thing particular unique to him is his heightened ability to sense the souls of all who have walked places before him. That means that in an empty hallway he quite literally sees blurs of people as if in a time lapse and can even slightly hear them. This makes him popular for asking if people are around, for he doesn't need to see them to sense their immediate presence.

Fury will continue to develop more as the year goes on. I'm excited to see how this goes and where I can use him. He sounds like a very interesting and cool person for sure!

5 Facts:

1. Fury is an only child.
2. He has never gone by his first name. His parents "couldn't find a proper middle name for Fury."
3. He is happily married and has two little girls and a little boy.
4. He has played violin since he was three.
5. He can memorize things immediately.
