Personality: Syg is an optimist. His situation growing up was far less than ideal, but it's given him the ability to cope with almost any hopeless situation with cheerful determination. He believes in living his life to the fullest, despite any disadvantages or setbacks he encounters. Having spent a majority of his life as a mercenary and practically raising himself, he is quite informal, verging on a little too casual in his interactions with employers or those who outrank him socially (although he does use the appropriate titles and styles when addressing someone). This can sometimes give the impression of roguishness or insubordination, though half the time prospective employers seem find his friendly manner disarming. He is now in charge of security at the Temple of Deities in Xeluses and the Oracle's personal guard, but despite his now prestigious position, he has never been the type to shy away from "dirty work." He has a soft spot for children and those in unfortunate circumstances, namely the poor, having spent his formative years on the streets himself. Because of this, when completing jobs that require him to remove such "nuisances," he tends to go easy on the riffraff and often bribes them to leave or offers them help instead of doing what his employer had in mind.

One of Syg's favorite pastimes is flirting with women, although he no longer aims to take them to bed, since finding a dame of his own. In the past his habits have resulted in lots of hassle and ruffled feathers for many husbands and fathers, lots of climbing in and out of second story windows in the dead of night, and lots of broken hearts for the ladies he left behind when his sellsword lifestyle took him elsewhere in search of work. He is, however, faithful, caring, and rather romantic with the current woman of his choosing.

History: Syg supposes he had a family at one point, but he doesn't have any memories of them. His earliest recollections are of wandering the streets in search of food and shelter, eating anything he could find, catch, steal, or was lucky enough to be given. His survival for the first few years was probably thanks mostly to the kindness of the various brothers and sisters of the different churches and temples of Xeluses, and the protection of a wild fletchling who took the nameless child under its wing for whatever reason. During the winter at around 6 years of age, he was taken in and named by a smith in exchange for help around the forge. As Syg grew in strength and size, the smith soon offered to make him an apprentice, but the youth was more interested in the results of the smith's efforts than the process itself. Before he was 10 years old, Syg was learning to fight from the smith, who had served as a soldier in the past an thus knew a fair amount of bladework. With this newfound strength, the boy was eventually running around town, doing errands for his adopted father and picking up random tasks here and there to bring home some extra coin. At 16 he merged with his partner, by then a fletchinder, when the smithy that was his home went up in flames.

He spent the rest of his young adulthood making a name for himself as a sellsword along with two other adventurers, the trio coming to be known as the Zephyr Blades. The small mercenary band even earned a small measure of fame, but due to tragedy befalling one of their members, disbanded after a short year of successful adventures.

Syg spent 6 more years working on his own as a sellsword, looking for love in many places, but never finding it. That is, until he returned home to Xeluses and, at the age of 23, sought out professional help with a curse laid on him from the Oracle at the Temple of Dieties. The priestess Evangelina would become the love of his life, and, after wooing her despite their drastic differences in status and the ire of the Matron of her order, he would make her his betrothed with a claddagh ring of wood and carnelian he crafted himself.

Evolution came to him when he stepped up to challenge a more suitable suitor chosen by the Matron. Intent on becoming something more worthy of his beloved, Syg parted ways with her for a while to seek training from more experienced warriors, and ways to lend legitimacy to his claim. He returned as a talonflame to best the other suitor in a duel, and a gold and diamond engagement ring.

Extra Notes:
- No longer a mere mercenary in title and striving to live up to expectations as the betrothed of a high priestess, Syg no longer wears patchwork armor. He has put away the heavy plate chestpiece and belt in favor of flying leathers, which aids him greatly in attaining immense speeds in flight.
- He's got a cape, not a tail, but you can't really tell very well from this app pic, probably. OTL
- The "cane" he carries is actually a hidden blade. As a mercenary doing sometimes dangerous jobs, Syg often found that approaching people without a visible weapon tends to make things easier and gives him the advantage of surprise if necessary.
- When he goes for a prolonged amount of time without a blessing from Evangelina, Syg is EXTREMELY unlucky, because he was cursed by a ninetales warlock whom he slighted. This means he will constantly have strings of accidents and just generally unlucky incidents that often result in him getting KO'd. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to throw random occurences of crap luck at him and just screw with him in general. <3
