“Just forget that you saw me ... I-I was never here.”
A mysterious MTU for the Adventurer’s Guild who hides himself in the shadows, known for his swift work on the field, but not his social skills. Senti is an Elvaari - Sectum Hybrid practically raised within the confides of his father’s workplace. Joining the Guild was how his parents could protect him afar and Senti's way of learning more about the world through action.
Appearance
A tall lanky humanoid male, his body is mostly covered in rags, the only visible part of his body is his eyes. Without all the cover, he has light grey skin, jet black hair and droopy yellow eyes with mid eye bags. His facial appearance is very much like every other Elvaari as well as the signature pointed ears. However every other part of him is Sectum, under his mask he has insect mandibles, a set of antenna and 6 insectoid limbs that end with 3-tipped claws.
His regular attire is that of formal wear, a suit that is sectioned into 2 halves to allow for his second set of arms to move freely. Despite it being formal wear, Senti wears shorts, mostly due to how his legs are in appearance and functionality, it makes it hard for him to move properly on the field in addition to most tailors not making long pants viabile for most Sectums. And due to his insectoid feet he cannot wear proper footwear, leading him to wear tailored sandals made for most creatures with adnormal feet.
Personality
He is a very curious but shy individual despite his stand-offish looks. He craves to be able to hold a conversation with people but breaks down into a nervous fit everytime he tries. There are times where his thirst for knowledge outweighs his fears and he can proceed to yap endlessly until he realises he talked too much and runs off. Generally very polite, choosing to use honorifics for people who are older than him.
Biography
"Hey what are you doing inside, you should come out it's good weather today!”
"I can't, dad says I have to stay in, the air outside is bad for me."
The children conversed at the window for a long time until the other pulled the young Senti to play outside through the window. The young child wandered out, seemingly worried but eventually came to enjoy running around with the other. Until his world suddenly became blurry, his breathing rapidly hastening. The young Senti collapsed to the ground, slowly losing consiciousness.
The sounds of yelling and crying could be heard in the distance before fading to nothing. Senti woke up in a cold sweat.
“...huff..ha... That dream again...”
As he sits in his father's office, Senti asked the same question he has asked his father on numerous occassions.
“Father, I think I am ready to join the outside wor-”
The snap of a closed book rang through the office as an older Elvaari man gives out a tired sigh.
“Son, you ask me this question every year before your birthday. And my answer will always be the same. It's too dangerous outside, who knows what will happen to you.”
The younger of the two starts to shrink away as his father's response. It was the answer he had expected but he has hoped that maybe this year would be different. Senti proceeded to pick up his books that he had left scattered at his table. Numerous books on adventures, monsters and people. He wanted to know about them all but being stuck in here for maybe even the rest of his life won't help him in this endeavour. He pushed the question again to his father, giving him every reason as to why he has to go outside. He can't keep living like this.
Senti was a sickly child, struggling to be outside for too long before passing out. His parents' overbearing protectiveness essentially gated Senti from ever leaving his sight or home. He never interacted with many people outside his parents, he practically runs at the drop of a pin, choosing to view people from afar to satisfy his curiousity. Within his father's office, he has his own section where he keeps journals that he had created over the years. Inside are drawings, notes and information about different things he had examined through his life within these walls, ranging from people to animals and plants. But he wanted more, he wanted to learn more and experience them for himself.
Eventually, as more years go by and Senti has come of age (to some extent), his father finally gave into his demands and allowed him to be on his own in the outside. But only if he registered himself under the Adventurer’s Guild. Being once associated with the Guild, his father trusts them to be able to look after his son. Originally he wanted Senti to follow in his footsteps and join the Archivist Division but he refrained from influencing his child's decision, he had barred him from freedom of choice for too long, he needed to let go.
Senti eventually ended up choosing the Contingency Division since it sounded the most versitile division, which could allow him to encounter many different life experiences. Never would he thought he would soon be the token speedy deliveryman.
On Hands
Arcane Focus : Pocket Watch
Since young, Senti has always had a poor attunement to the arcane despite being of Elvaari heritage. Strongly due to the influence of his mother’s genetics, Senti requires an arcane focus to channel arcane energy. This comes in the form of a pocket watch gifted by his father. The pocket watch itself is silver in color and material. Engraved on it at the numbers '520', Senti does not know of its meaning and his father elaborated no further than "It was once your mother's, it was my gift to her. Now it's yours."
Journal #381
A fresh skinned journal that Senti brought along with him from home to document his future finds and experiences. One of these notes included his fascination with the Contingency Division's Headmaster, being 3 Goblins in a trenchcoat. Where they co-dependant? Bonded togther? Or do they just like being 3 Goblins in a trenchcoat. He hopes to interview them on that topic one day.
Mask
Senti has very sensitive lungs that react to weather changes. He wears the mask to filter the air surrounding him, allowing him to breathe properly. With his health improving slowly, the usage of this mask has decreased as the years went by.
Relationships
DM or ping if you wish for some Senti interacts
Ulvultar Ballahast
His father. Their relationship isn't bad but Senti does feel very smoothered by Ulvultar's protection. He bares no ill will towards his father but he wishes he wasn't so stubborn about letting him leave the house every so often.
Oat
His mother. They have a quite the strong relationship. She was usually the one who would be by Senti's side when Ulvultar was at work, taking him out on outings that he had longed wished for. He takes her on a walk around Eversun every week when he's off duty.
Odin Finch
When Senti first joined the guild he was very confused and nervous, Odin was the one who welcomed him with open arms and taught him the ropes. Ever since then he has been going to her for guidance, viewing her like an older sister to him. Prefering to call her 'big sister Odin'.
Korin Altair
He was very intimidated by Korin at the beginning, despite being larger than him in size. However, Senti soon learned there were more layers to Korin than he had expected and that he was actually a really caring person under all those coats. Similar to Odin, he goes to him for guidance and sees him like an older brother figure. Prefering to call him 'big brother Korin'
Hanzekihel Oulieus
They first met in Ulvultar's office, with an extension to talk more in the future. Senti does not have very strong opinions about Hanze other than he views him to be someone worth learning from, calling him Mr Oulieus out of respect for him as a teacher. However, he cannot seem to shake the feeling that Hanze feels as trapped as he does.
Cora Chromis
The day they met lingers in his mind, two curious individuals sitting by the lake, one observing the other other but neither realising they were being observed. When they finally realised the situation they were in they couldn't help by laugh. Ever since that day, Cora has been a close friend to Senti and he would protect her with the life that he now has.
Loretta
They first met on one of Senti's expeditions, Loretta was out on one of her many quests. She noticed how fast Senti was and wanted to race him. He was not inclined at first, worried about his health. Loretta encouraged him and he hesitently agreed to try it out. Taking that first leap forward it changed a part of his life, the trill of dashing through the grassy plains as fast as he could to catch up to the kindred ahead of him. He was severely hindered afterwards but he started laughing, he felt so alive and he was greatful to Loretta for pushing him that step forward. Today they are racing buddies who compete against each other whenever they cross paths.
Nova Holland
Senti met Nova through Cora. Although he doesn't know too much about her, he finds her to be a nice presence to be around. He would often be seen hanging out with her when Cora's around.
Trivia
- Whenever he's nervous in conversation, his left leg will bob uncontrollably, wanting to run but he can't. It can get to the point where his rapid tapping will leave a dent in the ground he was standing on.
- He has a very big appetite and can eat almost anything, but his favourite has to be apple pie.
- Having spent most of his time reading books, Senti has learnt to read many different types of languages and tongues. But he lacks the communication skills to speak any of them.
- His legs are quite powerful, allowing him to jump great heights and run long distances. Making him the perfect delivery guy.
- Despite his sensitive lungs, Senti can still run at high speeds. But only for short periods of time before he starts to struggle breathing, thus he utilizes his wind aspect to assist himself in many forms from speed boosts or adjusting his breathing when it got too severe.
- He gets embarrassed when people stare at him eating, since he likes taking big bites of food making him unhinge his jaw, he brings food back to his workplace to eat in peace.
- Carries around a number of silly straws in his poach for drinking uses since he cannot directly touch alcohol.
