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

• 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.

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.
