Synn Lycoris
Origins tend to be a funny little thing. Especially when one doesn't remember them. It's hard to say where this Dragon originally hailed from but it's clear that Eorzea isn't it. At least not directly, but most Dragons aren't.When Synn was born, she cannot remember. This leaves her age a mystery even to her. She does know that times were different by far. Technology different. She may or may not remember a time when the Allagans were more than a mere memory to the world. Maybe.What this small dragon does remember, however is darkness. The void, and it's deafening silence. How she got there, why she got there. It's lost to the madness that ebbs and flows at the corner of her mind. How sane does one expect a creature to remain when chain away in darkness for eons? Well, to say the least she does carry it fairly well.There is an emptiness in her that she knows about. Perhaps it the gap in her memory? Ironic though considering the dragoness has no desire to fill it. How she got out of the void is a story that she isn't completely keen on sharing. She will tell you that it has to do a voidsent, and a deal. That deal was made and in turn he released her. Set her free so that she was free to do what she wished. For now, at least.Being locked within the Void, however, did not go without it's consequences. It definitely comes with many misconceptions as well. Many believe her to actually be a voidsent herself. She is not. Synn is actually being corrupted by the void. It is evident in the black that begins at her fingers and toes and spread upwards. A constant reminder of her time within the void. Yet with enough will and aether the small one is able to keep it at bay and doesn't fall victim to the darkness that wants to take over.It is due to this history that Synn could be considered a bit feral, or skittish. Easily startled, or surprised the small one definitely bites when pet, or otherwise touched. She isn't one to trust. This, perhaps, led to her being a solo adventurer once she was released from the void. Fighting came natural to her. Perhaps it was something that she had done before being locked away. Though, to say the least her skills had rusted a bit and needed to be honed once more.For awhile Synn traveled alone. Kept to herself. Hunted, survived in the wilderness. Though she was a dragon she didn't return to them. Finding that most stayed away from her due to the void that corrupted her. Besides most were locked in a war and that was something she wanted nothing to do with. The young ones didn't know of her - it was like she was forgotten from this world - not meant to be a part of it.That didn't stop her from paving her way. Job after job she took, saving away her gil. Making a home for herself was important. The unnatural fear of trusting was something she couldn't shake. Though, she did try. At some point the small one decided to join a Company. Mainly it was for the sake of better contracts and a better pillow for her head. The ground and trees didn't make for much comfort. It was here that the Dragon began the real journey. She began to make friends, learn what it was like to make connections. Also, this is where she learned how to be apart of a business.After some time Synn began to get comfortable. She learned that she was an artist and enjoyed creating. Also she had a knack for business affairs and helped out with a venue. Becoming a co-owner this is where life around others began to really shape. Organizing events, operations, and running the venue she was making a name for herself.This is also where Synn learned the first lesson of heartbreak. Not something that needs to be getting into. After some time there was a shift in her life. The company disbanded and she was left with nothing but change when uprooted. Well, she wasn't one to run or hide from difficulties. So, the Dragoness did what she knew best and that was simply: putting one foot in front of the other. Moving forward.Thus began the current chapter of her life. Without skipping a beat this little dragon opened a new Venue. With the core of the old venue that was lost. Together they built and grew, and together they made something new and far more fantastic than before.Now, once again Synn is a business woman. Running a Venue with the pride of a Dragon and with a new found appreciation towards what she has. It is extremely possible that she cares a little much about this place. But than again, who wouldn't care so much for their home.Synn can sometimes come off a little stand offish, however, once you begin to speak with her you'll note that it because she has the pride of a dragon. With this pride comes a protective attitude towards what is hers. At no point did Synn fully lay down her weapons. She is still an adventurer, a hunter. A creature who knows how to defend herself and others when the need arises. Her claws and fangs bite with a fierceness that many would be wise to stay away from.Often asked question: Yes, Synn is a Dragon. Yes, she has a dragon form. However, a dragon doesn't fit well in a house nor do they seem that approachable. So, this is the form she is often in. Possibly even the one she is most use to now a days. Though her origins are still unknown to her this small dragon decided not to pursue the knowledge. Instead leaving her past just there. In the past. If she comes upon the knowledge and the reason why she was locked away - perhaps she'll search for the answers. Often she is pouring herself over ancient tomes. Mayhap one will hold the answer as to why she ended up where she did. Perhaps not. For now though she is happy, safe, and content and eager to take on every new day.
manqo'te
Souta Suzuki: If there was one thing that was certain about these two it would be the fact that neither of them seem to understand what it is between the two of them. One thing they will both agree on is that the answer to ‘Are you together’ is: No.Not that it changes anything about the implications of how they talk to one another. Yet, friendship first. Otherwise underneath where there are quick glances, and softer smiles is a direction neither have decided to investigate.They enjoy each other’s company and that is that. Both in that hey we’re probably going to get hit really hard by something trying to kill us, and in that softer evening sharing a laugh. A smile, and something more. She rather enjoys his company.He is probably her best friend.
Protector
Kagari Hasegawa: Who would have thought that the two of these would be friends? It was clear in the beginning that Synn was not a fan of this blunt, loud, and obnoxious carpet shredder. Yet, as time passed the Dragoness found herself to be rather fond of this miqo'te. The bond continued to grow the more time that they spent together and it was this that reminded Synn to not judge a book by it's cover. Kagari became someone dear to her, someone she treasured and enjoyed spending time with. The feisty catte made it known that she would lay down her life for Synn. Protecting her at all cost, and being there when the petite dragon needed someone. Kagari is someone she trusts and is eager to see whenever the chance allows it. Though, no it's not just for the blankets. Yet, those cozy little warmth burritos were definitely a bonus.
Phenomenon
Meracle Arseid: What started out as a mutual respect grew into something more than even Synn realized. It didn't happen overnight, of course, but it did still catch her by surprise. Meracle was someone who had stood by this little dragon through some of the hardest times of her life. They're friends, they're confidants, their relationship is something that probably leaves people wondering. However, let them wonder.What Synn can tell you, however, is that their friendship goes beyond the planes of this existence and they'll both travel to the ends of the earth to be there for one another. This is Synn's best friend, and the only person she can say that she trusts completely.
The Dragon's Hoard
Family
Synn has no actual blood relatives alive that is known. In fact if asked about any blood relatives, or her true origin she will not acknowledge and merely mention those she considers family.
Brother, Kaz'alkorrah Sumaresh: Probably the most prominent one in her life. Kaz is by far the closest to her as well. They have a mutual respect for one another and an understanding of love and acceptance. It is no secret that this miqo'te is protective of his little sister. Something that has lead her to be able to relax when he's around. She is aware just how far he'd go to make sure she is safe. Though, not something she'll ever want. She values him and his health more than anything.
Brother: Idoh'a Lopra & Brother-in-law: Kiht'a Bajhirii Perhaps we should question why a small dragon got adopted by 3 different cats, but we won't. It's safer that way. Of course it started out with just Idoh'a adopting Synn and calling her 'sister' but where there is Ido there is definitely Kit. They both of them are often together and Synn can't help but adore them both. They've been a source of strength for her, and help guide her in a way that allows her to understand what family is about. She values these both with all of her being.
Treasure
Garden Rivers & John Porter: Definitely family in their own way. There probably aren't real words to describe the relationship between these three. There is love, protection, understanding and well, a little spice. Or maybe that is just John setting things on fire again. Either way, the three have a unique relationship that transcends most. They've all definitely experienced together and have grown in ways that kept them able to be comfortable with one another.
