Syrin Kisaragi
[edit]
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
