*About ERP...
I enjoy ERPing, however, I don't like forcing a scene into instant sex. I prefer the natural chemistry between characters to do the talking. Is your character a flirt and looking for a good time? Great! Try and whisk Syrin to bed. Let's see how that plays out.
OC and OOC Boundaries.
I am not my character. Romancing Syrin the Explorer does not mean you are romancing Syrin the Guy Who Works Mornings! Keep it separate.RP is a fun means to explore character tension and resolve through their stories. There shouldn't be a reason where what happens in story should be taken personally if we took precaution in our expectations going in. If there is an issue,
be sure there is communication.

Personality
Not everyone is born with a gift. Some are beholden to a curse for others to worship— your existence entitled to a soul not your own. For profit, power, and, more importantly, control.One must be the most cunning to evade a dark destiny inscribed in blood. To have the endurance to defy and stay the wheel of fate, the strength to force it to favorable odds. Courage to look through the lens of damned truth, glimpsing the dark tides that would see you torn, and yet pursue this journey of Life with grace and integrity.Such joyousness is a sight to behold. Syrin cannot be allowed to hold splendors too close with too much fondness. How can a hunted man trust anyone, much less himself? Especially himself.No, it is best that he admire at a distance.
Disposition
【 The Hunter 】
An adept seeker knows when and where to apply himself. Saint-like patience and cunning are practiced in equal measure, balanced by the need for resolve. Equanimity crowns Syrin's benevolence, poised strides ensure that he does not lose it so quick.【 Dark Logos 】
There is right, wrong, and grey. His justifications being what the "morale right" is, keeps him alive, his sister safe, and furthers the search for her. Sometimes achieving such feats means taking less conventional or unethical approaches so that no one else has to.Sometimes the right way is not clean. And what he asks for in return is not always safe.【 Eager and Daring Ethos 】
Syrin's curiosities lead him down many paths full of query and characters; not all of whom are savory. Nonetheless, he chases the pursuit of knowledge like an undying thirst. Danger for growth and honing. Calculated risks for savoring enriched reward.【 The Heat of Battle 】
The thrill of battle held on bated breath and the wit of skills honed in. Act fast, think faster. This is where Syrin thrives in what he is best at and takes enjoyment in battle of prowess. Vicious and precise. Agility and endurance yet unmatched. A formidable ally or foe. Don't let him catch you unaware, you just might get cut.【 Arms Length 】
Alliances form in want of common goals. Friendships are tentatively forged, but are they deep? Love? It's not safe.【Guarded Heart】
Anger is the ultimate downfall and comes with vicious consequence. Love of anything is fodder to the curse. He cannot suffer to subject others to a heinous end. If there is to be suffering, it must be alone.There is fear to be had in such darkness.
Motivation
"Until my dying breath... It's not too late..."
He won't rest until he finds her; he knows Vye is still out there. Somewhere. Alive. This he must believe, otherwise what has this all been for?But can he dismantle this sinister cage by the time he reaches her?

Can't craft or gather properly, but he is exceptionally and spectacularly terrible in the kitchen.【Lightweight】Exceptional endurance in the field doesn't translate to alcohol well at all.【A Tongue for Taste】Love of food travels with him. It is a personal challenge of his to get a taste for any and every dish; no matter how spicy or tart those may be.【Forbidden Occult】There is a keen interest in obtaining tomes and relics of forbidden dark magic.【Thalassophobia 】He'll wade in the shallow end, thanks.【Voidsent Scares 】Being around voidsent raises all the hairs on his body.

〖 Additionally... 〗
▹ Unhealthy coping with rage.
▹ Aggressive drug & drink vice.

Aethersight Users: A thin veil of tainted aether courses through Syrin's veins.
Quest Giver: Is your OC scraping by? Poor, hungry, or need some extra pocket money? It could be worth your while to flag Syrin, there is a chance he has a mini-quest for you to earn some gil! Just begin your post with (! ! !) followed by your RP response as a signal to me.
【The Striking Polymath】 Have a beast or relic in need of hunting? Maybe there is a man that needs tracking or an incident that deserves more investigation. Maybe there is need for extra arms for dungeon crawling or in want of a worthy spar.
His abilities range from researching & investigations, battles & hunts, and undercover operations.【Shady Family Business】 Given the secretive nature of his father little is known about his business practices as a merchant. What CAN be deduced is its hushed nature and unsavory characters have a root to dark practices and corrupt crime. Said connections have found their way to grief Syrin.
Do you hold a grudge against a man who snuffed you out of a deal?【Occult Forces】This mysterious group has yet to let up their pursuit. With help of questionable practices, an underground cult tried and failed a ritual on a very young Syrin.
Have you encountered them? Do you work with them? Are you part of the cult?【Consequences of ?̸̭̘̺̅͘?̸̧͕̤̑?̵̠̦̓͐͒】 An incomplete ritual isn't without consequence.
Ⓐ A triggered deadly persona.
Ⓑ Blacking out with little to no recollection of what happens afterword. Temporary loss of control typically leads to Syrin coming back confused and awaiting some sort of messy karma sooner or later.
