===Basic Info===
Commonly known as Bel or Yara. She is a student of the arcane, alchemical and physical sciences and loves to see what makes things and people tick. She can be a bit cold and calculating when dealing with her subject-matter of choice, but those close to her will see a very different side of the highlander.

===History===
Born into a family of Ul'dahn merchants, Belyara showed an early interest and aptitude for alchemy. Apprenticed to the Alchemist's Guild she enjoyed being surrounded by alembics, bubbling beakers, crystals and some of the best minds in the city, eagerly soaking up any knowledge or research she could. She was fascinated by the ability to change, enhance, or cleanse being contained in a bottle. She helped around the small store her parents ran and would often sell wares there to earn some coin. She blossomed early, developing a more mature and curvy figure by the time most girls were just starting to change. If this was helped along by alchemical means or not is unknown.

As she grew into a young woman, a chance encounter with an Arcanist visiting the Guild opened her eyes to another avenue of inquiry and experimentation. It was suggested that she go and study with the Arcanist's Guild in Limsa to broaden her knowledge, and likely get her out of the Alchemist's Guild for a while. With her family's merchant connections and her own growing funds, she secured passage to Limsa Lominsa and a modest dwelling to live in while she studied. Much better than communing with spirits or finger waggling for hot and cold, these were magicians after her own heart! Science applied to magic, with clear cause and effect.

It was here that she leaned how to bend magic to her will just as alchemy was how she altered the natural world. Once she learned how to summon her own carbuncle, then she and Mr. Bunclesworth were neigh inseparable.

She has recently joined a local academy in hopes of improving her wealth of knowledge and acquiring more business skills to build her trading efforts.

===Personality===
Very inquisitive when her mind is focused on magic or science, and passionate about her work. She tends to be a bit disconnected from empathy when she gets like this, but as so long as no one gets any unintended lasting and ill effects, progress needs test subjects! A little bit of a mad scientist, but she'll tell you she's just enthusiastic!

She prefers to be in control of the situations she finds herself in, through research and understanding. Structure and discipline are important in her fields of study and she usually applies those to personal relationships as well as it is just how she thinks. When confronted with someone excitable or spastic, she will try to observe their chaos and the effects it has while keeping that same nature from affecting her as much as possible.

Once she gets past seeing someone as a potential test or source of information, and as a person unto themselves she can be very friendly. She is a bit motherly with those she is close to, as the oldest of four children she had to help raise her siblings.

She is distrustful of men having been accosted as a young girl on the streets of Ul'dah on more than one occasion, and quite often since coming to Limsa by drunks and sailors at the taverns she frequents. Not a drunk, but she enjoys a relaxing libation after a long day. Thanks to these trips and the brawls that happen with some regularity, she is coming to learn how to fight more physically. She uses her knowledge of the body, physics, angles, pressure points and leverage, to deliver blows that one wouldn't expect from the physically unassuming woman.

Often seen with her summon, an emerald carbuncle named Mr. Bunclesworth.

===Affiliations===
Currently enrolled as a student at Vylbrand Academy (Unsung Heroes Free Company) in the Artisan school.

===Family===
Parents - Still living in Ul'dah.
Siblings - 2 younger sisters, 1 younger brother (deceased).

===Other Notes===
Has attempted to make a Fantasia potion, with mixed results.

===Quotes===
"Here, have some tea! I made it myself."

"The rumors of some creations having side-effects are largely exaggerated."

"People always complain when I let them help me without their knowledge. Don't they know this is for science?"

"Practical application is the natural progression of learning. What value is knowledge if you don't use it for anything?"

===20 Questions (adapted from "The 20 Questions," 7th Sea RPG)===
'''What country is your hero from?''' Ul'dah. Born and raised in the city among the bustling crowds and jingling purses.

'''How would you physically describe your hero?''' A tall highlander. Her blue hair is streaked with violent and often pulled back into a ponytail to keep it out of her eyes. She is very curvy with a generous bust and slightly plump rear. Good peasant stock.

'''Does your hero have recurring mannerisms?''' Switches between extremes of being analytical and scientific, or loving and flirty.

'''What is your hero’s main motivation?''' Science! To increase her knowledge and through that her fortune, to fund even more learning and experiments while living comfortably.

'''What is your hero’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?''' Her greatest strength is her ability to see patterns in chaos, and cut through the crap and get to the heart of the matter. Her greatest weakness is a toss up between her uncaring attitude towards random people, or her enjoyment of the senses.

'''What are your hero’s most and least favorite things?''' Favorite things are knowledge and the practical application of it for profit and pleasure. Least favorite things are ignorance, being bored, people that complain about her experiments, or men who think they can touch without permission.

'''What about your hero’s psychology?''' She has a bit of a disconnect with most people, seeing them as means to an end or test subjects for her latest experiment. Once she gets close to someone, or is interested in them for more than scientific reasons, she is a bit possessive and domineering though adventurous and forward with her affections. She is getting better at shutting off her scientific side and blending in with the normal folk when a situation requires it.

'''What is your hero’s single greatest fear?''' Being penniless and alone, unable to work or learn.

'''What are your hero’s highest ambitions? Their greatest love?''' Her highest ambition is to create something as wondrous as the Fantasia - and use it to become very wealthy. Her greatest love is exploration of the mysteries of the world and making them bend to her will through science.

'''What is your hero’s opinion of their country?''' It's home. She's not overly attached to places, but respects the city as a place that embraces commerce and learning.

'''Does your hero have any prejudices?''' She dislikes politicians. Always standing in the way of progress and making all these silly rules like not spiking the punch at an event with your latest potion.

'''Where do your hero’s loyalties lie?''' To herself and those she considers in her care.

'''Is your hero in love? Are they married or betrothed?''' She has one person that she is currently close to, but she is not married or betrothed.

'''What about your hero’s family?''' Her parents still live in Ul'dah. Her brother died in the war, but her younger sisters help run the family shop though one does some bar-tending on the side.

'''How would your hero’s parents describe them?''' Very focused. A bit driven and doesn't always relate well to others on a personal level, unless they're someone she's become friendly with... then perhaps she's a bit too friendly.

'''What is your hero's social status?''' Merchant. Not wealthy per se, but comfortable enough and funding her experiments and life in Limsa Lominsa.

'''How religious is your Hero? Which of the Twelve do they follow?''' She follows Menphina, for her aspect as the lover, but with little evidence to actual existence she's not sure the Twelve really existed or were just stories to make people feel better.

'''Is your hero a member of a guild, gentleman’s club, or secret society?''' Nope.

'''What does your hero think of sorcery?''' Arcane science is where it's at. Healers are useful, and thaumaturges are amusing, but she's not a tree-hugger or finger-waggler. Sure they work, but can you back it up with hard evidence as to why?

'''If you could, what advice would you give your hero?''' Quit using people as test subjects without their knowledge. There is also more to life than just coin and self-indulgence.

===Basic Info===
Often called Shin. Somewhat shy and flustered by intimacy. Very protective of those he holds dear. A strong fighter, who uses his speed and agility more than brute strength to get the job done. Overly formal in speech. Willing to stand for what he believes in.

===History===
Born to a break-away tribe living near Ul'dah. Tribe was composed of mostly Seekers, with a few Keepers as well. Family life wasn't traditionally tribal, but a large extended and open family living more by Ul'dan standards of civilization albeit with some differences. The clan was very open with each other, and physical touch was an important part of the familial bond. Petting, hugs and 'fur pile' sleeping arrangements were what he grew up with.

He joined up with a merc company in his teens, which was then absorbed into the Flames during the war leading up to the Calamity. Those events shattered his family like they did much of Eorzea. Most of his family was killed, but the remaining survivors were broken and many lost the will to live. Scattering to the winds, Shin knows some survived and returned to the tribes but he had to find another path that was moving forward, not back.

Since then he has traveled and trained, always looking for something and never quite knowing what. He has recently moved to Limsa Lominsa to join the Vylbrand Academy in hopes of further improving himself.

===Personality===
Very friendly and enjoys meeting new folk, though he does tend to be overly formal and shy when it comes to more personal interaction. A protector at heart who is looking for something worthy and needing protection. To keep others from knowing the pain of losing loved ones if he can do anything to avoid it.

When he left the family compound, he discovered that the physical 'skinship' that his family shared wasn't the norm outside the enclave and he clamped down hard on those feelings and needs. As a result of this knee-jerk reaction, he uses formal speech and more old fashioned manners like one might expect of a knight as a sort of emotional armor. Because of the conflict between how he presents himself and how he was raised to feel, he is easily flustered. He wants those connections, family, and close relationships yet is scared of letting people in and opening himself to the pain of loosing them,.

Should someone get past that armor, they would find a fierce lover who is loyal and warm-hearted.

===Affiliations===
Currently enrolled as a student at Vylbrand Academy (Unsung Heroes Free Company) in the Protectorate division.

===Other Notes===
He doesn't drink as he is very much a lightweight with alcohol. Drunk Shin doesn't filter himself at all and is very physically affectionate and overly friendly. This is something he found out shortly after joining the merc company, and something his friends would often try to bring about because they knew it embarrassed him. He doesn't enjoy not being in control of himself and avoids drinking anything intoxicating if at all possible.

===Q&A(adapted from "The 20 Questions," 7th Sea RPG)===
'''What country is your hero from?''' Ul'dah. Born and raised on the sands, though not knowing much about the city till he left the enclave of his family.

'''How would you physically describe your hero?''' A bit taller than average for miqo'te, though not towering or even the tallest of his kind. His body is well built but not overly muscled. There is power and strength there, but he's made for dexterity not brute force.

'''Does your hero have recurring mannerisms?''' Blushes or stammers when conversations turn more flirty, or he's interested in someone. His tail and ears speak volumes about his mental state, like most cats.

'''What is your hero’s main motivation?''' To improve himself, become stronger and find new family and loved ones to share it all with and protect.

'''What is your hero’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?''' His greatest strength is his willingness to do whatever it takes to protect the ones he cares about. His greatest weakness is the fear of letting anyone get too close, only to lose them again.

'''What are your hero’s most and least favorite things?''' His favorite thing is companionship. Being close to and sharing with friends and loved ones. His least favorite thing is weakness. In himself being strong enough to protect, and in others when they give up.

'''What about your hero’s psychology?''' He's a bit broken at the moment. He has been alone for the past five years, and old wounds have yet to heal. He is determined to keep moving forward and not let apathy overtake him.

'''What is your hero’s single greatest fear?''' Being alone.

'''What are your hero’s highest ambitions? His greatest love?''' Shin's highest ambition would be to start his own family settlement. A place for loved ones to live, grow, share, and be safe. His greatest love is family, be it blood or those forged in strife.

'''What is your hero’s opinion of his country?''' He likes the sand and heat, and the bustle of the city. He doesn't care for the power struggles and the Syndicate that more or less runs things, but it will always be his home. To him Ul'dah is more about people, than money and goods.

'''Does your hero have any prejudices?''' The Garleans destroyed everything he cared about. He's not one to let revenge consume him, but any work that lets him strike back at the Empire is welcome. The Limsans are rough folk, but he respects the oft-times brutal honesty of the sea-folk. He's not too sure about the Gridanians. They seem a bit backwoods, but their fervor and talents can't be denied.

'''Where do your hero’s loyalties lie?''' To himself, mostly. He is coming to be more loyal and concerned about the others at Vylbrand.

'''Is your hero in love? Is he married or betrothed?''' Shin doesn't have any partners at this time.

'''What about your hero’s family?''' Mostly absent. There are still some survivors alive, but he hasn't seen them in years or really know where they ended up.

'''How would your hero’s parents describe him?''' Not knowing him sense they perished in the Calamity, they would describe him as a very warm and loving man. Good with a hammer, but likely a bit too smitten with the girls when he should be focused on whatever task is at hand.

'''What is your hero's social status?''' He's a commoner. As long as he has enough to get buy or do what he needs to, he doesn't care so much about coin.

'''How religious is your Hero? Which of the Twelve does he follow?''' He follows Althyk, keeper of time. He is not very religious, but understands that things always change and that one must remember the past while moving to create the future.

'''Is your hero a member of a guild, gentleman’s club, or secret society?''' Not at the moment.

'''What does your hero think of sorcery?''' He's not a fan of destructive magic, but sees great value in at least opening dialog with the spirits of the land as well as the conjurer's healing arts.

'''If you could, what advice would you give your hero?''' Relax. Lighten up and live a little. Have some fun and don't keep people out so much.

===Basic Info===
Often called Shin. Somewhat shy and flustered by intimacy. Very protective of those he holds dear. A strong fighter, who uses his speed and agility more than brute strength to get the job done. Overly formal in speech. Willing to stand for what he believes in.

===History===
Born to a break-away tribe living near Ul'dah. Tribe was composed of mostly Seekers, with a few Keepers as well. Family life wasn't traditionally tribal, but a large extended and open family living more by Ul'dan standards of civilization albeit with some differences. The clan was very open with each other, and physical touch was an important part of the familial bond. Petting, hugs and 'fur pile' sleeping arrangements were what he grew up with.

He joined up with a merc company in his teens, which was then absorbed into the Flames during the war leading up to the Calamity. Those events shattered his family like they did much of Eorzea. Most of his family was killed, but the remaining survivors were broken and many lost the will to live. Scattering to the winds, Shin knows some survived and returned to the tribes but he had to find another path that was moving forward, not back.

Since then he has traveled and trained, always looking for something and never quite knowing what. He has recently moved to Limsa Lominsa to join the Vylbrand Academy in hopes of further improving himself.

===Personality===
Very friendly and enjoys meeting new folk, though he does tend to be overly formal and shy when it comes to more personal interaction. A protector at heart who is looking for something worthy and needing protection. To keep others from knowing the pain of losing loved ones if he can do anything to avoid it.

When he left the family compound, he discovered that the physical 'skinship' that his family shared wasn't the norm outside the enclave and he clamped down hard on those feelings and needs. As a result of this knee-jerk reaction, he uses formal speech and more old fashioned manners like one might expect of a knight as a sort of emotional armor. Because of the conflict between how he presents himself and how he was raised to feel, he is easily flustered. He wants those connections, family, and close relationships yet is scared of letting people in and opening himself to the pain of loosing them,.

Should someone get past that armor, they would find a fierce lover who is loyal and warm-hearted.

===Affiliations===
Currently enrolled as a student at Vylbrand Academy (Unsung Heroes Free Company) in the Protectorate division.

===Other Notes===
He doesn't drink as he is very much a lightweight with alcohol. Drunk Shin doesn't filter himself at all and is very physically affectionate and overly friendly. This is something he found out shortly after joining the merc company, and something his friends would often try to bring about because they knew it embarrassed him. He doesn't enjoy not being in control of himself and avoids drinking anything intoxicating if at all possible.

===20 Questions(adapted from "The 20 Questions," 7th Sea RPG)===
'''What country is your hero from?''' Ul'dah. Born and raised on the sands, though not knowing much about the city till he left the enclave of his family.

'''How would you physically describe your hero?''' A bit taller than average for miqo'te, though not towering or even the tallest of his kind. His body is well built but not overly muscled. There is power and strength there, but he's made for dexterity not brute force.

'''Does your hero have recurring mannerisms?''' Blushes or stammers when conversations turn more flirty, or he's interested in someone. His tail and ears speak volumes about his mental state, like most cats.

'''What is your hero’s main motivation?''' To improve himself, become stronger and find new family and loved ones to share it all with and protect.

'''What is your hero’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?''' His greatest strength is his willingness to do whatever it takes to protect the ones he cares about. His greatest weakness is the fear of letting anyone get too close, only to lose them again.

'''What are your hero’s most and least favorite things?''' His favorite thing is companionship. Being close to and sharing with friends and loved ones. His least favorite thing is weakness. In himself being strong enough to protect, and in others when they give up.

'''What about your hero’s psychology?''' He's a bit broken at the moment. He has been alone for the past five years, and old wounds have yet to heal. He is determined to keep moving forward and not let apathy overtake him.

'''What is your hero’s single greatest fear?''' Being alone.

'''What are your hero’s highest ambitions? His greatest love?''' Shin's highest ambition would be to start his own family settlement. A place for loved ones to live, grow, share, and be safe. His greatest love is family, be it blood or those forged in strife.

'''What is your hero’s opinion of his country?''' He likes the sand and heat, and the bustle of the city. He doesn't care for the power struggles and the Syndicate that more or less runs things, but it will always be his home. To him Ul'dah is more about people, than money and goods.

'''Does your hero have any prejudices?''' The Garleans destroyed everything he cared about. He's not one to let revenge consume him, but any work that lets him strike back at the Empire is welcome. The Limsans are rough folk, but he respects the oft-times brutal honesty of the sea-folk. He's not too sure about the Gridanians. They seem a bit backwoods, but their fervor and talents can't be denied.

'''Is your hero in love? Is he married or betrothed?''' Shin doesn't have any partners at this time.

'''What about your hero’s family?''' Mostly absent. There are still some survivors alive, but he hasn't seen them in years or really know where they ended up.

'''How would your hero’s parents describe him?''' Not knowing him sense they perished in the Calamity, they would describe him as a very warm and loving man. Good with a hammer, but likely a bit too smitten with the girls when he should be focused on whatever task is at hand.

'''What is your hero's social status?''' He's a commoner. As long as he has enough to get buy or do what he needs to, he doesn't care so much about coin.

'''How religious is your Hero? Which of the Twelve does he follow?''' He follows Althyk, keeper of time. He is not very religious, but understands that things always change and that one must remember the past while moving to create the future.

'''Is your hero a member of a guild, gentleman’s club, or secret society?''' Not at the moment.

'''What does your hero think of sorcery?''' He's not a fan of destructive magic, but sees great value in at least opening dialog with the spirits of the land as well as the conjurer's healing arts.

'''If you could, what advice would you give your hero?''' Relax. Lighten up and live a little. Have some fun and don't keep people out so much.
