Background

Devin and his twin brother, Lusephur, were abandoned in the Black Shroud and picked up by a Hyur couple. Raised in the Shroud, they learned to hunt and fish to support their aging parents, who were quite old when they found the pair. When the Calamity struck, the pair found themselves homeless and orphans once more.

Showing an aptitude for magic, they decided to study, Lusephur going to Gridania to study Conjury, and Devin traveling to Ul'dah to join the Thaumaturge Guild. Still homeless and quite scared of the people, he stayed in the Ossuary, sleeping in a darkened corner. Finally, he was offered a small storage closet as a room. There he stayed and trained, keeping in contact with his brother until the day Lusephur vanished...

Appearance

Devin is pale with pure black hair and ears. Though he used to keep his hair down with a bead knotted at the side of his face, he recently cut it short and is letting it grow out again. His fluffy tail is also black and seems to resemble a wolf's tail more than anything. Like all Keepers, he has sharp fangs and round pupils. His eyes are dark blue and he has markings under them, but no other discernible features tattoos or marks. He is often mistaken for younger because he has a soft and rounded face.

Devin will often be seen trousers and a comfortable shirt. When he is hunting he will wear leather armor. His favorite color is blue, so he wears it as often as possible.

Personality

Devin is kind, but he also has a very childlike innocence, having grown up with only his parents and brother. Though he used to be timid and shy, he has grown into an almost confident and outgoing nature. He also comes off as naive due to this isolation as a child. He is still a bit insecure, and often worries about the people around him leaving or not wanting him any longer. This can lead him to having panic at racks when someone he cares for goes missing. His trust is hard to earn, but he is loyal and protective of those he cares for.

Religion

Devin doesn't particularly follow the teachings of any particular God. He will pray at any shrine he comes across, though, and most often finds himself before Nald'Thal, since he lived in the Ossuary.

Quirks

• He is cold. His skin can be almost as cold as ice on occasion, and it can even create a cold pocket of air around him. This most often occurs when he is scared or nervous. Also notable is the fact that sometimes even the shadows seem to grow dimmer around him, though that might just be a trick of the eyes.

• In addition to his skills in hunting, Devin fishes, though not with a pole. He loves water and will catch fish in his teeth. He's quite the swimmer and can hold his breath for long periods of time. He often catches fish and gives them to people he likes.

• Due to his isolated upbringing, he developed odd mannerisms that make him seem feral. He likes to perch on high places, will slink and walk on all fours sometimes.

• More often than not he displays long, sharp claws that sometimes retract.

Combat

Devin usually avoids fights more often than not, but that doesn't mean he's not ready to defend those he cares for from harm if needed. He knows Thaumaturgy, and is a little skilled with the Arcanist book as well. If push comes to shove, he can use his fists, or the pair of knives he carries for hunting. He is also skilled with a bow. He will not tolerate the suffering of his dear friends or his brother. It is one of the rare times he will ever show more than a little backbone.

Positive Standing

Jia'khan Voskos - Devin didn't know Jia when he jumped to his defense in the Quicksand. He only knew that M'ikal seemed to be in danger while protecting Jia from someone. He met the stoic Miqo'te a few more times, finding him to be friendly even though he seems to try to act tough. Jia has joined Devin in his training on occasion.

Tris'tan Aonar - While heading through Coerthas on his way to Mor Dhona, this shy Miqo'te joined Devin and helped him cross the dangerous territory. Their interactions are innocent though quite adorable at times. Though their friendship nearly ended before it began after a small misunderstanding, they've become good friends.

Akira Adrian - A young girl he took a liking to nearly instantly, Devin would often be found hiding in her room. Though he is friends with many of Ravenstar's members, he like Air especially for her fierce protectiveness and and tough love.

Neutral Standing

Rick Fairchild - Sometimes referred to as the scary smiling man by Devin, this Hyur stayed in a room near Quih's in the Hourglass and also spent a lot of time in the Ossuary. Though he doesn't talk to Rick much, he knows he's friends with M'ikal and Jia.

Talyn Shadowmoon - Devin was curious to know what this Midlander woman was making one day and watched her as she worked. They next met when someone was scaring Devin in the Quicksand. She came to his defense, and though he doesn't really know her, he appreciates her assistance and left some fish for her as thanks.

Negative Standing

Teld're Eska'aldren - Someone Devin didn't quite trust in the first place, a conversation with Teld left Devin voluntarily mute for a long while after some fairly unkind words. He actively avoids this Miqo'te now.

Zaiaku Kurai - After getting picked on and bullied by Zaiaku numerous times, Devin finaly confronted the man after a night of drinking some liquid courage. For some reason this encounter put Devin into a defensive mode that has never been witnessed before. Best to keep them apart.
