Biography
Cyn began as a fighter in Granyte Spyre, in 1993. After gaining some fairly decent skills with a short sword and a sewing machine, she became a co-founder along with Sir Lucas Wyngarde, of the Stormwall chapter in November 1993 and later a founding member of the Wetlands. At some point after the founding of Stormwall, Cyn stole or otherwise acquired a pirate ship, dubbed it the Aspiration and declared herself captain. Captain Cyn, always looking for plunder, sailed her ship and trusty crew to many events within and outside the kingdom, eventually spending some time in the Burning Lands. In 2000, Captain Cyn sailed away over the horizon and was thought lost but she has sent word of her imminent return at the 20 year reunion of Stormwall and the Gathering of the Clans XXX. Captain Cyn is back, baby. Captain Cyn was known to have a VERY good time now and then with many notable stories of her exploits floating around like so much flotsam. Some are true but others may be exaggerated….

Notable Accomplishments
Her greatest claim to fame was suffering and recovering from one of the worst Amtgard injuries in 1995. While fighting a visiting member of Mordengaard on the roof of a battery at Ft. Travis Park, Captain Cyn won, took a step back in surprise (he was very good), and disappeared through a stairway hole. She fell 15 feet, bouncing on her ample backside on the way down (living up to her name), and landed in a few inches of mud and broken beer bottles. She walked away from the accident (literally, but was only upright and conscious for a few minutes). Her ‘little spill’ fractured a vertebrae in her neck and required a long recovery. That night the emergency room got a little taste of Amtgard with a dozen mud soaked and worried players waiting for word on the captain. Cyn was occasionally seen on the battlefield after that but retains the purple sash…and that is what crews are for anyway.
