Kyren Yun

[edit] Character Personality Skills Relationships Rumors History Media OOC Info  Kyren Yun "If that's the best you can do, I've already won." Gender Male Race Au Ra Clan Xaela Citizenship Othard Age 26 Orientation Straight Class Summoner Alignment Chaotic Good Residence Unknown Summary Kyren arrived on the shores of Eorzea some years past. A refugee from the Garlean Empire after they wiped out his clan, he fled Othard with the rest of the Domans. During the following year, he could often be found outside the walls of Ul'dah as he cared for and protected the defenseless, injured and sick refugees that were unable to make the journey to Mor Dhona. He eventually left the desert city on the last caravan from the city, joining the rest of the Easterners in Revenant's Toll. There he put hammer and chisel to work, working himself to the point of exhaustion each day as he helped to build an entire fortress out of nothing. When the day finally came where there were no more stones to lay, Kyren lay down the hammer and took up the sword. Appearance Hair: Jet black, thick, and “stylishly messy,” much like most of Eorzea's inhabitants. Eyes: An almost eerily bright sky blue. Body: Standing just over 7 fulms, Kyren is tall, lean, and toned, with an athletic build formed from years of training and combat. Skin/Scars/Tattoos: His tanned skin is covered with black scales that mark his Xaelan blood, and his body has the usual amount of scars on his chest and forearms that come from a life of adventuring, though his back is covered with a large amount of faded scars. He also has several tribal tattoos along his arms and legs, and an arcane tattoo etched into his right hand. Scent: Cedar, earth, animals, and sweat. Clothing: Kyren wears whatever suits him (almost always in black), though he tends to favor the tribal Xaelan garments of his homeland, worn and tattered as they are. Failing that, he'll resort to the Doman styles of the Raen. And, as with most Xaela, he has a thing for overly elaborate belts. Standard Equipment A dagger on his belt. A small belt of elemental crystals. A necklace with a small ruby attached at the end. A small, black leather grimoire. Two elixirs. A bag of holding. During his teenage years, the only word that could really describe Kyren was “defiant.” A decade later, tempered by the sands of time and the burden of knowledge... well, “defiant” is still probably the best word. Never one to be commanded or ordered, it seems he's determined to walk his own path in life. And in the end he will likely die on its unpaved roads. His blood is that of a warrior, and his heart that of a king. He cares deeply about those around him that are too weak to weather life's storms, and he honors those that were too proud not to run from them. Never one to back down from a challenge, and always the first to throw himself into the maw of danger. Above all though, is an unwavering sense of honor and an unyielding determination. Beliefs/Philosophy/Religion He believes he is a chosen of Nhaama, the Dusk Mother, and respects Azim, the Dawn Father. He sees the Twelve as the gods that rule Eorzea, they just are not his gods. What you conquer, you are responsible for taking care of. Blood must answer with blood.

He died along with the rest of the Yun clan during the Garlean attacks on Doma and the surrounding countryside. ??? - Kyren's mother. He has never spoken of her, or even uttered her name. Friends Katsumi Valebloom - A quiet, enigmatic girl occasionally seen at Kyren's side. While she carries herself with a certain baring, she always seems to have a smile to offer those around her. Lilithium Altair - A buxom little mother of three that has hired Kyren to help with reconstruction on her house, among other things. The two have seemingly grown rather fond of each other over the past few months, and Kyren has welcomed the chance at having at least a taste of a peaceful, happy life. Parvaneh Shadi'ra -  ??? Cerasi Avanai - A dancer of Ul'dah, aspiring Summoner, and occasional traveling companion, Cerasi met Kyren after he stopped a group of bandits from robbing her caravan. Curious as to his particular method of summoning, she likes to tag along and watch him at work. Kasana K'si - A Xaelan girl that fled from Othard to Thavnairia. Upon hearing that Kyren hadn't died, she made her way to Eorzea and pledged herself (and her newly learned skills) to his service. Daerin Lauvonet - Occasional traveling companion and fellow dungeon delver, Daerin is an archer from Ishgard that has left the city's walls to seek his fortune down south. Lhoa - Known as the "Demon of the East" to the Garleans, Lhoa is the leader of the Kujata, a small band of mercenaries from Doma. Between him and Kyren, the Empire has lost 3 airships, 52 magitek armors, 2 navel ships, 12 commanders, and 257.8 soldiers. Enemies Tiberius von Castus - While Kyren considers the Empire as a whole his enemy, there is one commander in particular he has sworn a blood oath against. As of the present day, the path to find him has been paved with dead Garlean soldiers. Usual Gossip Bought Information Whispers in the Dark PC Rumors (Add your own!) "I met him at an event for the Gilded Pony. We didn't care much for the crowd or the noises so we ended up stepping outside with some small talk. When he learned I lived nearby, he offered to help me with some small house repairs so I could keep watch over my little ones. He's been a large part of how I've managed to cope with losing my late husband. He's become very special to me." - Lilithium Altair Othard Garlean Attack Journey to Eorzea Revenant's Toll Adventuring Dragonsong War Soundtrack 1. Kyren Yun 2. The Herd 3. The Clan 4. The Hunt 5.
