Character

General

Kyrio is a street rat of a Miqo'te. The story he tells is a commonly tragic one; He was found as a kitling wandering the streets of Ul'dah, foraging around in the trash for something to eat. His would-be benefactor was an Elezen, and gave the newfound Miqo'te youth a resoundingly Elezen-sounding name - Lamansque. But Ul'dah is Ul'dah, and the poor and the refugee finding succor isn't in the interest of some - What if the hungry became fed, the stupid become learned? The Elezen was removed from the world, and Kyrio was spun back into the refuse pile. From there he began his existence again, fighting and scrapping just to get by, until one day...

Appearance

He has a young face, appearing to be no older than his younger twenties despite the scarring that he bares from his days as a street rat. His hair is the color of a Costa sunset, flared in an orange-red though he keeps it short aside from the two short braids that hang from the sides of his head. He's slightly on the tall side of average, and somewhat lanky. Despite his days of malnutrition, he has grown in height, but he still seems to be a touch thin. His eyes are a bright blue-green, and sparkles in the light when he's pleased. Whenever his chest is visible, there are a few scars that can be seen in the opening of whatever he's wearing that reveals the skin.

Behavior

He's generally shy and untrusting. He stammers and stutters when he feels embarrassed, intimidated, or uncomfortable. He can be scared off. When someone is drunk, he is extra antsy around them. His friends are working on him to be a more confident person, but he easily slips into old behaviors - especially when they aren't around.

Combat

General

He naturally fights dirty. It's the way of the streets. He is being worked with in the way of the Monk, and some time spent in the Grindstone has taught him that he should fight with more discipline and honor, but he's not afraid to go for the eyes and the groin when the time calls for it.

Tendencies

Likes

• Small groups of close friends
• Making money to be able to make a living.
• Exploring the world!

Dislikes

• Crowds, especially of strangers
• Being cornered
• Feeling alienated from the friends he has.

Hobbies/Talents

• Pickpocketing
• Seeing both sides of things (Like a True Neutral alignment should!)
• Seeing new and exciting things. Since he lived so long in Ul'dah's Pearl Lane, even the most simple of things can be beautiful and a must-see!

Relationships

Family

As far as he knows, he is an only child. He knows not the existence of any family members.

Friends

A'tirramei Liroh - Arguably his best friend. She is one of the ones responsible for helping him get off the streets, and though he doesn't ALWAYS listen to her advice, she has been the one to stand by him in a pinch as well as the one who gave his ears a good yank when he deserved it.

Rasha Nayuun - Formerly Kyrio's love interest. They met in front of the Amphitheater, herself being an agent of Fate and proclaiming to be the one sent to him to guide him along the path that was set out for him. As they spent more time together, she felt more and more things that were normally foreign to an agent of Fate, and Kyrio did nothing but encourage those feelings. Soon, she was faced with the choice of maintaining her position as an agent of Fate, or becoming mortal and entering into a relationship with Kyrio. However, shortly after they entered into a relationship, Rasha continued hunting void creatures and one day, she disappeared into a rift that lead into the Void, never to be seen again.

H'malosi Dinhe - Kyrio's love interest, though it's on the rocks. They met in the Quicksand, when she was being approached and apparently propositioned by a Hyur woman. She tried to say that Kyrio has slept with her and Kyrio denied - though the woman dragged Malosi off, Malosi came back and they engaged in a business agreement. Malosi is a merchant trying to rebuild after being, basically, forced off the market for a period of time. So he provides her with things to sell, and he gets a cut of the profits. However, one night she challenges him to a duel and he loses. She accuses him of throwing the fight, and the fight again. He wins this time, but through the victory, the Seeker female starts to see him as something of a Nuhn. It throws Kyrio off, but he plays along and soon grows attached.

T'caska Khevo - Somebody that Kyrio used to know. In their youngun days, they ran together in Ul'dah. But the Brass Blades found a way to separate the two, and while Kyrio hung around, T'caska fled the city. They have not bumped into either again until recently.

Enemies

Raelas Sturmwind Once one of Kyrio's friends, for a relatively short period of time. While Kyrio was associated with a group that was headed by a known slavekeeper, Raelas quickly threw Kyrio into the realms of being an enemy due to that fact. Even when Kyrio decided to leave the group and sought Raelas's forgiveness, the attempts were rebuffed.

Rumors

Common Rumors

• He's come back recently!
• He talks about how Rasha is gone, hunted by the Void that she was hunting.

Moderate Rumors

• I remember seeing him once. He used to stammer and stutter and look afraid, but now...
• He won't stop ambushing people. It's like he's a kit again trying to get people to like him.

Rare Rumors

• I wonder if he's hit his head or something.
• Where does he live? He says everyone he used to know is gone. Is he back in the streets?

PC Rumors

• "Mister Kyrio? He's that scrapper, cute smile, big Keeper eyes. Calls himself a rat but he's a cat. An alleycat maybe, but still a cat and probably one of those ones that purrs when you scratch their chin. Takes stab wounds like a champ, too." -Khoba Lhyr
• "He would say I'm a liar but he totally can't run as fast as me!" -T'caska Khevo

History/Timeline

He was born in Ala Mhigo, though he doesn't know it. He was but a kit when he was smuggled out of the city, so his first memories are of Ul'dah.

He doesn't know his parents. Whether they stayed in Ala Mhigo through the Garlean takeover, or met an untimely end in Ul'dah during the rush of refugees is unknown.

An Elezen, Latriou Delcroix, took him in. He was a kind old Elezen and tried to look after as many orphans as he could.

Elements in Ul'dah, believing that of the poor, orphaned, and otherwise out-of-luck were fed, educated, and empowered were threats to them, took out Latriou.

He grew to dislike Ul'dah but found himself powerless to lead it. The rich and powerful used people like him as footstools, and it seemed to him the Sultana looked the other way.

As he grew into a youth, that is when he met A'tirramei Liroh, Endemerrin Rosethorne , and Kesai Amano seemed to take pity on him and proceeded to, almost rather literally, drag him out of the alleyway.

Merri trained him in the ways of the Monk, or at least got him well underway, before Rasha (his love interest at the time) went missing and he spent over a full turn looking for her.
