Appearance
He is slightly above average height, standing at 6'0", and he is thin but toned and wiry. His skin is dark as Grenadilla Wood. There is a tattoo of a hammer and anvil on his right bicep, he got drunk once, and yet of course that is the drunken stupor that he gets a tattoo. He tends to wear long flowing robes.
Personality
Kyin talks with a bored tone, and is always searching for something interesting. Kyin does not, in general, care what others think, unless he believes he can gain something from them, even if that something is little more than a way to stave off the oppressing boredom that makes up life. There is more to his personality than ennui, however, there is also a fairly unhealthy mixing of apathy. If it exists and especially if it doesn't, Kyin does not care about it, unless he can gain manipulate it to his gain. Kyin has a hunch, he may be a psychopath. In fact that is a bit lightly worded, Kyin is an absolute psychopathic asshole.
Kyin has a deep loathing for flowers, they remind him of himself, not that he has a flowery personality or is particularly nice smelling, but he is a god damn walking talking flower, He absorbs water through his feed, eats when the sun hits his skin, and it pisses him the hell off. They may remind him on a deeper level it probably reminds him of what he is missing out on, the thrill of the fight. It isn't like he cares about the three tenets of the Qi'Ora, but he does care about himself, and with hollow bones, fighting is not an option.
History
Kyin was born in Saun 32, 699, to a Qi'Ora couple, who Kyin has never felt any amount of attachment to. Kyin had a lackluster childhood, none of the other kids ever really wanted to be his friend, because he was strange and just mean to everyone else. For example, on one day in the late-ashan warmth, while all the other kids were playing, Kyin was opening up a dead bird, trying to figure out how it is put together, when the kids playing nearby came up. Once they saw what he was doing, they fractured into two factions, those that were disgusted or crying, and the ones Kyin had to worry about, the ones that thought he was weird (they were right), and beat him up for it. This was early enough in his life that Kyin realised he was not typical, which was a thought that was only reinforced later on.
Through Kyin's earlier teenage years he determined that there were no, or at least very few, people who would understand what he is, and accept it, although he may on the surface (and deep down) not care what people think of him, he does, in a way even he is unaware of, want to be accepted by those he deems worthwhile. Speaking of those he deems worthwhile, they are few and far between, he has never felt that his parents were, but there has been one before. A girl who Kyin met in his 14th Arc, he met her in his first apprenticeship, a shop that built bridalry and saddles from the ground up all the leather work as well as hardware work, she was a Human, with a similar expression to his. Kyin recognized her immediately, as if not the same as him, similar, and she must have seen it in him too, she approached him and explained that her name was Bea and her father needed a saddle for his new horse. Eventually they began raising hell together, and Kyin, much to his own surprise was beginning to feel something he never had before, sincere affection. It is the feeling he draws upon whenever he wants to act normal. They were secretly going out at night to raise hell for the next two years, until the death of Kyin's father.
Kyin's father died in spectacular fashion, but some context is necessary. Kyin's father was named Yurk he was a merchant, he was not a well off merchant, but toward the end he could have been. He had a deal with an Alchemist, which his father saw as his big break, he was storing some very rare and expensive explosives in his lousy little warehouse, which was only a warehouse in name, it was more aptly described as an addition to their house. Kyin's father was a smoker, smoke like a chimney, and he wasn't the brightest man, either. He kept an ash tray in the 'warehouse' which was the only indoor place his wife, Qyra, allowed him to smoke. Smoking and explosives are not the best combination. Long story short Yurk blew up himself and his house. Which surprisingly didn't phase Kyin (Points in favor of Sociopathy), but his mother, Qyra, was a wreck, not only emotionally, but financially. So Kyin, being 16 years old by this point, does the only thing a reasonable, self-diagnosed psychopath can do, he leaves his mother to wallow in her poverty and depression.
Kyin leaving was not without emotion, just not for his mother. Kyin asked Bea to come with him, but she couldn't, her father was too strict, which to be fair was probably for the best, she and he had been arrested for petty crimes more times than he can remember. There was no way to keep him from calling a search party (or at least enough people to find them), and knowing Bea she would claim the Kyin kidnapped her, before getting in trouble with her father for running away.
By the time Kyin was 18, he found himself in Etzos. This is where his story starts anew.
Housing
Kyin lives in a single room wooden house, The house initially had ample silverwear and dishes, which he destoyed all but one plate, and enough silverwear for one, He just doesn't want people to hang around his place, that becomes a monetary issue, he only kept the one plate because he does need to eat protein every once in a while. other than that there is a chair for sitting next to a table, and a piece of the back of a chair on the floor in the corner. Kyin killed two birds with one proverbial stone, now people won't sit in his property and he used the material for a job. His bed is in the other corner, it has a piece of parchment adhered to it that says "If you, yes you, the trespasser, if you shit my bed, I will shit your mother.", That is the only piece of decoration in the house. The fireplace is normally burning, Kyin is used to the heat after all.
