Basic Info

Height: 5'7

Weight: Average

Appearance: With Short brown hair, brown eyes, some stubble lining his chin, and three scars on his face Synn seems like your average Midlander Hyur Adventurer, at least on the surface. He is lightly tanned on account of him spending most of his time outside but he mostly hides his features in black clothing or armor. Although he is constantly dressed in black as if in mourning –regardless of weather, social gatherings, or battlefields-- he carries himself with pride, or rather arrogance. Below the surface, underneath his black clothing reveals something damaged, both in mind and body. Synn has gone through a lot in his younger years and much more as he grew older. Though traveling Eorzea with his family when they were alive was the best years of his life it would be a lie to say that he got away unscathed from their many adventures. Now that Synn has grown into a man the number of scars he has almost entirely cover his body thanks to his murderous tendencies. In addition to that there are even scars that would suggest that he was tortured at one point in his life. Because of this however Synn has the body of a seasoned soldier, which he makes full use of in battle.

History

1558-Synn is born in Gridania.

1566-Synn and his family including Culain and Serene leave Gridania and travel all over Eorzea seeing new sights, going on many adventures, and ridding the world of any and all criminals they come across.

1571-Synn is left at an orphanage while his family, Culain, and Serene join the war against the Garleans.

1575-Synn vows revenge after learning about his parents death, is adopted by Cyril Teyrnon, and is forced to pose as Lennard Teyrnon.

1575, half a month later-After destroying Cyril's reputation Synn leaves for Ul'dah, reuniting with Culain along the way and with his help manages to save a town from the Garleans who had planed to use it as a forward base. Unfortunately Culain dies while thwarting the Garleans attempts at taking over.

1577-Having almost died several times in the search any information related to Dark knights Synn now seeks others to help him stay alive long enough to become a Dark knight himself and have his revenge.

Personality

Generally mistrusting and arrogant Synn keeps almost everyone at arm’s length with few exceptions being so far being his chocobo, Adeya Evenar – a female Miqo’te keeper whom he has worked with for quite a while now. And Asheloux Thalantos – An Elezen who’s a bit of an arse but has earned Synn’s respect by taking care of Mythril Wings and its members in his own way. Among current colleagues he has grown comfortable enough to be a bit more relaxed though not enough to completely open up to them. Among this group of people Synn has become fiercely loyal and protective of them, even more so for the two specifically mentioned. For everyone else –except Paladins and the religious-- he waits to see if they are worthy of respect before giving it out to them. To those who have earned his disdain Synn is rather foul mouthed, often mocking them with a condescending tone. For the most part however he’ll tend to keep his thoughts to himself provided said person/persons aren’t talking to him or those he knows and he is present. From a young age Synn was always the inquisitive sort questioning why things are rather than just accepting it. This is thanks to the time he spent traveling Eorzea with his family seeing unique sights filling within him a sense of wonderment. Because of this he has spent some time among the guilds of the Gladiators, Marauders, Pugilists, Lancers, Rouges, Thaumaturges, and even the Arcanists learning a bit from each but ultimately feeling unfulfilled with what he’s learned until he became a Dark knight. In most situations Synn is led by his heart instead of his head. This on occasion has caused trouble not only for himself but others as well. One example of this impulsiveness is where he’ll often shirk on his duties as a member of Mythril Wings to go traveling for a time. Considering himself a hero, Synn goes out of his way to look for people to help on his many adventurers and is quite eager to do so even more so since becoming a Dark knight to prove to all that “Even a Devil can be a hero.” As a Dark knight Synn’s pride in them, himself, and his “Devil” persona has grown exponentially, to reject or slander any of these would draw his ire. Because of his pragmatic sense of justice and the loss of his family, he has developed a great deal of hate for the Garleans and is downright murderous whenever he encounters them. This type of behavior also extends to those he deems criminals. Even when not fighting Garleans or criminals Synn enjoys fighting anything and toying with them, proving to himself that he has become strong. However despite enjoying fights and the cool arrogance he exudes he is actually quite depressed, wanting to die for any noble cause (so far Mythril Wings’ being his main focus) which is the only thing motivating him to get out of bed. His interactions and apparent friendships with Mythril Wings’ members however have quelled his depression for the time being.

Other Notes

Now uses his father's journal as his own.

Wears his mother's pendant(her soulstone) and carries the sword his parents gave him when he was seven.

When not out looking for information he is usually passed out from working to much or increasing his proficiency as a Blacksmith.

Prefers spicy food over anything else.

Isn't really up for celebrating his birthday after Culain's death.

Believing people who worship The Twelve to be too dependent on them they are seen as weak and as a result Synn himself isn't religious.

His dislike for Paladins comes from them locking up criminals rather than killing them which is seen as a weakness in his eyes.

Isn't ashamed about fighting dirty.
