Syrin Kisaragi

'

[edit] Details History Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery Notes/Hooks GENERAL INFORMATION Syrin Kisaragi often spends his time lending a hand to others and is quite rare for him to be in one place for an extended period of time. When no assistance needed and there is a brief break from the errands, he takes to the books or wanders around in order to learn more about life. It is his purpose to do so, he’ll tell you. However, despite these acts of genuine kindness, there is a faint air around him that is more dangerous. APPEARANCE Syrin is a bit on the average side for a 21 year old Miqo'te, coming up to about 5’5”. He has a mop of light pink hair that he keeps somewhat tamed, his bangs framing his fair toned face and slightly hiding his grey eye. Syrin seems to always have some sort of head wear to cover his eyes. His head sits atop a slender, lightly muscled frame. Due to constantly extending his aid to people, his hands are fairly scarred and lightly calloused. Outside of combat, he will wear his scholar outfit since it gets him into the studying mindset. In combat, he will usually take the role of dragoon or samurai. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Long scar down his back. ■ Grey/Yellow eyes. ■ Navel piercing. Childhood Up until the age of 10, Syrin and his family resided comfortably within Kugane. His father, a merchant, spent a lot of his time away from home while his mother, a former sailor, remained by Syrin’s and his sister’s side. Often they would visit the markets, engaging in familiar faces with glee as children are prone to do, but they would also hand out fresh bread baked by Sy’lia to the workers. With Sy’lia, he found Althyk and clung to her belief to him. If his mother’s teachings were misinformed, Syrin was none the wiser given she was his only source of information to rely on. Sy’lia tells him that those who follow his steps are given the duty of using their life experience to further the god's knowledge of mortals and current status of the world/events "first hand". In doing this successfully, they return to their true home, a home beside Althyk as a loyal record keeper for future knowledge to track. It is here that Syrin finds motivation at the cost of losing his self worth- only viewing himself as a tool. One night, both parents came scrambling through the door and hoisted their children up and out of the home to make way for the docks. Upon a stolen boat, Sy’lia seeps back into her sailor roots and sails them towards Horizon and seeks shelter with a former crew mate. At around 11, Syrin and his family are visiting his father’s stall when an arrow met for Norimoto strikes Sy’lia’s heart. In the middle of all the panic that ensues, Syrin and Vye are whisked away by Norimoto and taken out of the city walls. It is here his already distant and fairly strict father becomes even more detached. Words were limited to strict demands, any tone of affection for the children was gone like their mother. When Norimoto takes Vye to gather supplies and help run his stall at other locations to bring in money, Syrin is left to himself for an extended period of time. If he finished polishing his father’s wares, sometimes he would feel brave enough to go outside and see what he could find. Often, he would find old travelers or an animal that he couldn’t help but feel the need to assist and felt all the better for doing so. Incident at Forgotten Springs At around the age of 12, Norimoto did something fairly different; he left Vye home and had Syrin come with him on his trip instead. Strange as it was, Syrin wasn’t really in a position to ask questions or even refute the plan. Leaving 10 year old Vye at home alone didn’t sit right with him, but at least she was getting a break. It was a long trip, which he didn’t find unusual. Probably business as always. Unknowing of what would come later, Syrin fell asleep. He would be awoken by the sounds of battle and a frantic Vye urging him to get up with her small hands. As Norimoto and Syrin settled in the carriage, Vye must've crawled in and hid herself in order to pursue them. It was also by her doing that she and alerted men at Forgotten Springs, near where he was dropped off, that her brother was in trouble. Unbeknownst to Syrin, Norimoto had handed him off to a shady group of mages that were looking for a vessel to host some kind of voidsent. The reason is lost to Syrin. Hell, to this day Syrin is unsure of what happened to him that night. After this event, the two siblings find themselves in Mor Dhona. Closer than ever, they struggled to feed themselves and never stayed in one place for very long, scared that the figures in black robes would somehow follow. Along the way, they would meet kind people that would house them for a short time, to which they repaid their kindness by lending their hands towards any and all errands. After traveling parts of Gridania, Syrin and Vye found themselves back in Mor Dhona. While he knew stealing was bad, he didn’t want Vye to get in trouble again, so he went off to fetch bread. It wasn’t unusual for one of them to wait out in their hiding place while the other went off. What was strange was the fact Vye was no longer in their spot once he returned. Despite his long and thorough searches, she was nowhere to be found and he was left alone. Calamity 16 and a budding lancer, Syrin was stationed in Gridania when Dalamud descended upon them and broke open. The disturbance in aether seemed to have some sort of affect on him and caused him to fall unconscious for an entire day. This disturbance was enough to tap into the slumbering being within Syrin whose form was left incomplete due to Vye’s interception of the dark ritual years prior. It can be noted here that his right eye dims in color. Lover's Betrayal 18 years old and one year into an established relationship, Syrin’s coming along rather smoothly. His transition from the Lancer Guild to Wood Wailer has provided him with many experiences and prompted him to start keeping a journal to document it all. His partner, Jir’a, was part of those experiences. His time with him made Syrin feel something he hadn’t felt in a long time, to be truly wanted and loved entirely. With Jir’a, Syrin felt new things, good and bad. All of which he took note on in his journal. For awhile, they were happy. One day, the two met at Bentbranch Meadows to do some patrolling. The air around Jir’a, usually light and welcoming, seemed more tense. He smiled and went about business as usual, but there was strain behind it. His usual adoring tone when regarding him was lacking. At the time, Syrin didn’t notice and was too consumed by the fact he and his partner were out together. Not known to Syrin, the older Miqo'te had been tipped off what laid dormant within his companion weeks prior and became uneasy. Upon reaching the Tam-Tara Deepcroft entrance, Jir’a pointed out he thought he saw something within and followed Syrin through the entryway. Here, with his back turned, Syrin was met with sharp, exploding pain across his back and was followed up with a stab that only added to the burning sensation he felt assaulting all senses. From the ground, Syrin was able to catch Jir’a and his towering form before fading into unconsciousness. He awoke back in Gridania with a healer tending to him, having explained how he wound up at the gates before falling limp. Syrin had no memory of having ever gotten up. He did remember Jir’a, though. Oddly enough- or perhaps not odd at all- Syrin hadn’t seen or heard from him again. This was enough to worry him to his core, but an odd and new whisper in the back of his head, tiny as it was, told him things were taken care of. This is where his right eye noticeably changes its color to grey. PERSONALITY While very studious, Syrin is not a naive shut-in. Syrin is a curious, observant cat that finds enjoyment in finding new experiences and providing assistance. Very much an outgoing, open minded person. His enthusiasm in eagerly assisting and searching runs him down sometimes, but he sees no fault with that as it is all part of his learning experience. This selfless, caring nature of his is borderline destructive and has placed him in a few unsavory predicaments due to his negligence. Because of this rather hectic lifestyle of his, the constant chase for new knowledge, standing idle can lead to feelings of anxiousness and uselessness. He is a simple young man who frequently can take small happenings and finds joy for what they are. Strangers who meet him are met with kind politeness and a calm demeanor, his speech formal and friendly. His body language is just as honest as his verbal speech with how easy it is to catch his expressive and animated gestures. This typically leads to him being flustered easily. Having not really putting much thought into other's attraction towards him in an intimate sense, he can be rather oblivious to flirtations towards him and takes it as being friendly. Mistakes made run in his mind for a long time, thinking about what to improve moving forward. Emotional as he is, he rarely dips his toes in feelings of anger or the like. He forces himself not to. The teachings related to Althyk in his upbringing have become a solid foundation of who he is; that is, he sees himself more as a tool than as a person at this point. He doesn't know how or why it triggers, but when his split personality takes over things tend to get messy or violent at the very least. This side of him is prone to biting out snide remarks, his tone usually condescending. Anger and hate roll off of him in waves, but his eyes are what tends to capture those who come into contact with him. Unlike Syrin's typical soft, warm looking eyes, this Syrin is sharp and constantly in a state of glaring scornfully. Though fires of resentment burn through him, his eyes and general feeling towards people are cold. This part of him is aware of the kinder half and regards him with disdain, thinking him as pathetic. This half of Syrin prefers wielding the samurai blade, mindfully opposing the other half's choice in a lance. However, if there is no sharp object in immediate sight he doesn't mind throwing his fists. He cares little of what people think and decides on things based on how relevant it is to him and his goals. In Syrin's later journal entries, he gives this side a name; Suul. L I K E S ■ Food. He can't cook, but boy can he eat. ■ Naps. Sometimes constantly being social and running errands wears him out and he'll find a warm place to settle for a moment. ■ Stargazing. Night life fascinates him. The specks of brightness in the sky draws him in. ■ Dragooning. He feels at ease when he is able to wield his lance. It is one of the few things he is proficient at and is fairly proud of himself for it. ■ Shows/Plays. He enjoys attending many forms of live entertainment to show his support. ■ Being pet. It soothes him. While he is still self conscious about his back, a gentle glide of the hand over it or his head will make him purr. ■ Helping Out. Making someone's life that much easier brings him comfort. He only wishes he could do that much for himself when it comes to pressing issues. D I S L I K E S ■ Ocean. He has an unreal fear of sharks and seaweed. Beyond that, he just does not trust deep waters. While he does know how to swim, he avoids this completely. ■ Voidsent. Aside the fact they do evil, Syrin feels very uncomfortable around them for another reason he can't quite explain. Being near one makes his skin crawl. ■ Ghosts/Spirits. It is unsettling that there could be a dead person watching your every move. It doesn't help that he has heard spooky stories concerning them. ■ Himself. He and Suul do not get along. Syrin doesn't like how things turn for the worst when Suul takes control. ■ Spicy Food. Ow, ow, ow. Can't feel tongue. ■ Cold Weather. Syrin doesn't like the feeling of becoming physically numb. ■ Birds. One of the few things Syrin doesn't trust. He'll tolerate chocobos, but that's about it. ■ Drinking. He tries not to do this often. One drink is never just that. When he drinks, he will not stop until he is drunk and when he is drunk there's no telling what he will do. H O B B I E S ■ Dancing. He doesn't know if he is any good since he only ever does it in private, but he once saw some dancers when he was younger and just thought it looked so fun to try. ■ Wandering. Sometimes he'll let himself wander just to see if he comes across anything new. ■ Studying. He takes his record keeping duty seriously. Even if he has not yet tried something, he still would like to learn about it. ■ Diary Keeping. He'll call it a journal, but it is basically a diary. He writes everything in it, no matter how mundane. While he feels Althyk keeps track of events through experience, Syrin feels like this is good training and helps cement his thoughts and experiences. ■ Sand Art. A fun, soothing pastime he picked up during his lengthy adventures near open waters. Fairly good at it, too! S T R E N G T H S ■ Curious. He jumps at any learning opportunities that passes him with great enthusiasm. ■ Attitude. Has a friendly, optimistic attitude that usually serves him and others well. ■ Social Intelligence. Being as observant as he is, this ability does him well in understanding the thoughts and feelings of others. ■ Stamina. He does well keeping at something for a long time. If nothing interrupts him from his business, he could go on for hours. ■ Perseverance. Syrin has a hard time giving up. Whatever task he has assigned, he is determined to get it done one way or another. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Anger. Syrin will not allow himself to dabble on this emotion as he feels like it is connected to Suul. ■ Bottled Trust. As much as Syrin shares, there is a lot he does not; even with friends and allies. Not only does he repress feelings for the sake of others, but he also fears them and finds it hard to trust anyone with certain bits of knowledge and emotions of his. Because of this, he holds a majority of people at arm's length. ■ Himself. He doesn't know where to begin on how to solve himself. He has no sure idea on how Suul triggers or how to get rid of him. ■ Over Eager. He is not naïve in the slightest, but his powerful want for knowledge can lead him into spontaneous, dangerous situations. ■ Soft-hearted. The man is a pushover. He doesn't often think of the repercussions of seeing then helping a person suffering nor does he have the will to say "no" in a lot of cases. ■ Crafting. For some reason he just cannot get the hang of it and manages to always injure his hand(s) in some way. ■ Cooking. Something he would really like to get good at one day. As it is, any food he sets in a pan will promptly burst into flames. ■ Jumping. Has trouble landing jumps. The Kugane Tower? His worst nightmare. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Althyk. The god that his mother preached to him. The primary reason for Syrin's thirst for knowledge is because he wishes to fulfill his duty as a record keeper for Althyk. In doing so would bring him "home." ■ Easing Weight. Helping others usually means having them suffer less. ■ Sister. He refuses to believe she is gone and needs to figure out what happened to her. RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Family – ♥ Involved – ♥ Romantic – ♥ Platonic – ♥ Physical – ♦ Friend – ★ Acquaintance – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – � Unsure FAMILY Norimoto Kisaragi, Father. (� ) - Au Ra. Character's Thoughts: "I never really knew him." Even prior to his mother's death, he had always been a distant man and became even more detached when he relocated them to Ul'dah. Conversations usually lacked any sort of feeling. Little affection came from him and he was typically strict when making demands. In Ul'dah, Norimoto would take his sister and leave Syrin for a long period of time. Syrin believes the only reason why he wasn't abandoned outright was because of his resemblance to his mother. This thin relationship became nonexistent when his father handed Syrin to a group of mages. Since this, he has never seen him again. Sy’lia, Mother. (✝) - Miqo'te. Character's Thoughts: "She was everything my father wasn't." She adored her children and even stopped working as ship sailor to be with them. When she was around, Norimoto was noticeably happier, too. She was someone who cared for her children and the general people. The people she met seemed to adore her, too. There would be many times where Syrin has helped her in the kitchen to bake goods to hand out later. Their bond was warm and loving... Which is why when she died, Syrin was heartbroken. Vye, Sister. (�) - Au Ra. Character's Thoughts: "I need to find her." Vye is probably the reason Syrin is still alive. Though she is the younger one of the two of them, Syrin remembers her as fierce. When their mother was alive, she was more clumsy and obnoxious; her voice always loud. After she passed, after the countless tears shed for her, Vye became more quite and almost reserved.They spent all their time together when their father didn't split them apart. After the Forgotten Springs incident, they were closer than ever until the day she vanished. He believes she wouldn't have left of her own free will. NON-FAMILY Person Name, relationship.

That said, I'm also available on discord. My timezone is EDT and I’m currently enrolled in college. I play FFXIV daily, but that may change as workload gets heavier. That said, I am available on FFXIV and discord if you see those fit for rp. C: It is also worth mentioning I'm a PS4 user using a keyboard to type. Personal RP Limits Walk ups are welcome! I am up for just about anything ranging from simple rps to complex, story driven rps. If there is something I come across that I don’t know how to feel about, I’ll be sure to let you know so that we can talk about it. ■I Will Play ■ ERP/Mature Content ■ Dark Themes (depending) ■ Violence ■ Story driven plot ■ Short and sweet plot ■ Romance, Drama, Tension ■ I Won't Play ■ Rape for fetish ■ Permanent Death (usually) ■ HEAVY, unnecessary gore. Disclaimer Little Tidbits. ■ Syrin is probably a WoL. ■ Syrin's other half is violent and might attack a character depending on circumstances. However, it is unlikely he/I will KILL anyone unless given explicit permission. ■ Just about everything is up for grabs but we might have to talk about certain topics first before proceeding. ■ I do spend a lot of my time helping to manage a fc, but I would still be interested in starting something! ^u^ CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks Here are some possible jump off points to start something if you happen to see me around! It is certainly not limited to these and we can always talk more about ideas. ■ Syrin is a man who likes to keep busy and is often helping others when he can, dangerous tasks or not. He is most certainly someone who would jump to a stranger in need. ■ Syrin does not remember much or at all from when his other personality takes over. This doesn't happen often, but when it does it usually leads to an uncomfortable period of quite that worries Syrin or it gets him into sticky situations with people wanting some kind of revenge. ■ Always wanting to learn and improve, Syrin would do well meeting with a mentor... Especially with cooking or just any kind of crafting. ■ He always keeps his journal for event tracking on him. Always. If it were to be stolen or lost somewhere, he would be in a state of panic. Warning: depending on how this plays out, the split personality might make an appearance and throw fists. ■ His father got into shady business. It wouldn't be surprising if that came back to bite Syrin, so being chased or sought out is plausible. Character Lore Adherence I don't think I would be too strict to following the lore. ■ Not a particular need, but I wanted to play on "Syrin" as "Siren," so that's how the split personalities came into play.
