ㅤearly life.ㅤ

Ryn lived on a shmedium sized livestock farm in Werlyt, primarily run by his extended family. His immediate family are Au Ra, but his extended family is a mix of Au ra and Hyur. There were a couple of different family houses on their property, but his actual household consisted of his parents and older sister.
Light Spoilers for Sorrow of Werlyt Quests:
Ryn fell ill in the very beginning of the plague in Werlyt, when resources weren’t as stretched. He recovered fairly quickly with little to no long term complications. When the rest of his family inevitably became ill later on, he became the main caretaker for his immediate family.
His family passes, either from the illness itself, or the health complications after. With his parents and his sister gone and unable to handle the workload with the sparse family they had left, the remaining family decide to sell all but a small portion of the land. The house is too empty and quiet, and staying in his home doesn’t seem worth it without family to fill it. He sets out to travel after fleeing Werlyt.

ㅤmain story (wip).ㅤ

He takes up small laboring jobs and seasonal farm work as he travels to keep money in his pockets. Learns to fight out of necessity when he travels alone. He spends a lot of time in La Noscea because of all the ocean access, and finds himself visiting frequently. It reminds him of home in a way that doesn’t open fresh wounds.
He originally read well enough to help with ordering and inventory on the farm, but didn't read for pleasure until began roaming. He picks up a variety of reading material as he travels to teach himself, and finds a love for folk and fictional works that remind him of the oral story telling back home.
Picking up reading material turns into packing his bags with as many books and short stories as he can carry. Before he finds a place to settle down, he has to trade in well worn stories for new ones when he can't physically carry anymore.
He picks up writing just to try it, and finds a second love in the art of storytelling itself. He spends many nights with a candle, quill, and parchment, tucked away in whatever barn or shed his current employers have for extra sleeping quarters.
He publishes his first few fictional short stories under a pen name, and they sell well enough to encourage him to continue writing. He finds that cheesy romances are pretty lucrative, and creates another pen name to publish some... spicier content.
He picks up summoning around this time, and the recreation of primals on paper and then though aether comes naturally to him.
