History
- Early Life:
Swygyn does not know to much of his past. He lived happily with his parents who had migrated to the desert town before he was born. As a child he didn't do a lot and knew little of his parent jobs just knowing they left for work a lot and would be gone for weeks at a time. This time alone made him self sufficient need little guidance as far as food was concerned or clothing patching up anything he wore. One day his folks returned home suffering from some illness he had never heard of but being eight there was still a lot to learn. After they passed he grew up on the streets still able to fend for himself making do with what little he could. The only thing of his parents he kept was a tome of all their journeys and saw they used to live in Limsa, the sound of living by the sea excited the young man. So he stowed on a ship and made his way there.
Once in Limsa he found his way one day to the Arcanist guild and began reading furiously through everything they had spending many days without sleep. It was at this point he decided he wanted to become a doctor and help as many people he could so what happened to his family never happened again. But life in Limsa was foreign to him so he took up working for the Maelstrom lying about his age to get in since size wasn't the issue. He learned a few martial skills but they didn't suit him barely making the grade but once he got into the medical corps he shined bright. He had a real knack for healing magic as well as medicine.
He spent the next few years mastering these skills. He took every job he could to go and help others this was a bad habit he acquired as he got hurt most times going out like this.
- Adolescence:
Swyg went on many missions and on a mission he met a young Roe named Tal. This was an odd name but they became fast friends after awhile they lost contact as they were shipped off to different areas. During these years Swyg began practicing Alchemy as a form of medicine crafting potions and elixirs to help people. He even crafted some for deviant purposes as young men tend to get that way.
Swyg always had a problem sticking his nose in business and getting himself hurt after helping a family from some bandits he was injured his jaw dislocated and tongue cut. So he crafted a potion to regrow the missing bit but the potion didn't restore his sense of taste. Which ended up being just fine as he tended to eat the flavorless ration bars anyways as they were cheap and require no fuss to get.
Swyg tended to stay at inns and could be found reading in the arcanist guild in his spare time, seldom returning home as he tended to be quite busy. He made little of the way of friends and tended to stay to himself. He wasn't social in the slightest and tended to be awkward towards women. So when he did get social it ended with him drunk somewhere with people he didn't know and would stumble home gil-less.
Swyg never kept money on himself after that on his shore leave he went and learned how to be a botanist not much caring for picking flowers he would swing his axe collecting wood and then not knowing what to do with it decided to learn to build furniture with it.
- Adulthood:
After rising in ranks of the Maelstrom Swygyn started being called to all sorts of battles. Always on the back lines as a medic he had another chance encounter with Tal who was bringing men from the frontlines ignoring his own injuries to save others this was a trait that Swyg loved to see in people. After the battle he tended to Tal's wounds and they reignited their friendship.
Many battles later Swyg was helping evacuate refugees when he saw a small girl and ran to help her get out of the line of fire. Swyg took many magitek shots to the back and passed out. he awoke two weeks later Tal standing nearby informing him many refugees made it. Swyg inquired of the girl but Tal was uncertain of her fate. Once on his feet again Swyg found he could no longer channel healing magic this made him quite distraught. No longer able to do what he set out to do he spent a lot of his time patrolling and helping how he could but knew he wasn't working at his full potential.
He found his way to a group needing a medic the Path Finder society. He didn't know anyone here and mostly kept to himself not even bothering to get his own room opting to sleep on the couches. He mostly moped about and helped where he could and went out on calls to help others mostly being an on site doctor.
On a day when he was patrolling the Couerthas highlands he happened upon a flustered red chocobo he stopped and went to investigate happening up a duskwight female calling her self Salvuis. He helped the young woman despite wanting to just freeze to death in the snow. So Swyg helped her patching the wound and helping her to his lodging at the Path Finders. He had her stay with him in his room and helped her leg get to full strength and once she was strong enough to walk he had realized he had feelings for her seeing a lot of himself in her. So he took a chance and they went out on a date. This led to many more and a relationship that lasted years. One day he took her to the spot they walked to the most and he asked her to marry him. She fled, and Swyg sat outside in that spot waiting her return for a number of hours Tal finally spotting him in the rain and dragging him home and giving him a bottle.
Over the next few years Lorraine stayed in his mind no matter how much he drank or tooled away in his office. Eventually he opened a clinic full time and hired a few nurses to help him. Swyg had met a few woman who he tried to replace Lorraine with but none of it stuck. One day fed up with not having magic he seeked out a healer to help him he came across a sort of mad scientist who extracted his blood to test it finding out the reason why he couldn't channel. After hearing this he contacted his friend and fellow healer An'nai who helped rid his blood of the impurities. Now Swyg was back to his old self.
Few months later Swyg got a call from Tal saying a young duskwight woman was hurt by Wineport and needed medical attention. he happened to be in the area and headed over once arriving he saw it was Lorraine. Swygs world froze he helped patch her leg again and got her back up on her feet. After talking for several hours and spending some time together they went back to the way they were before.
