“Just forget that you saw me ... I-I was never here.”
A very shy Med Student in 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 in isolation. Joining the Guild was how his parents could protect him afar and Senti's way of learning more about the world through helping others like him and exploring the world he never knew of.
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-orange 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...”
Pre-Guild
He look out the window from his room everyday, he yearned to be outside with the rest of the children his age. But here he was, strapped to this magitech device. For most of his life he spent looking out that window, the number of books that filled his room increasing by the day. 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 wanted to be outside, he wanted to be free from this suffocating lifestyle.
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 years go by and Senti had 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.
Guild Days
Senti eventually ended up choosing the Contingency Division. This division's goals aligned with Senti's own. He wanted to help others with similar conditions such as himself so that they would not suffer the same amount of isolation and alienation he did. There was of course another goal he had in mind. To strengthen his wind aether abilities to be able to stablize his asthama condition on a 24/7 basis, as of current he can only use it to stablize his breathing when he's at rest. Upon joining the Contingency Division he would be placed under the guidance of his senior Maya Nephim, that of course would not last long, for illness would soon take her. However, before her tragedy, she had left Senti in the care of Freyja Lest. Senti now seeks her for guidance in enhancing his medical studies.
As he started learning how to put his abilities into medical practice, Senti would soon be able to be deployed on quests to assist Wayfarering parties who were in need of healers. Of course with his lack of experience he would only go one small rookie quests, healing minor injuries at most. But even this he was greatful for, as he had more of a reason and a purpose in his life, even if it made small impacts. It also gave him an excuse to travel outside more and explore the outskirts of Eversun City, taking the chance to note in his journals about his adventures and discoveries.
As of 1230, Senti has made many friends, trustworthy superiors, family and some questionable people in his 2 years of being in the guild. He loves all of them dearly and looks forward to the many more memories he can make with them in the future.
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. It seems to be very old, almost around 200 years old. The Pocket Watch itself has a strong love within it but Senti has yet to be able to harness its power.
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.
Cloak
The cloak he wears on his back used to owned by his father. Although it's old and worn out, it's still useable. The only addition is that Senti had sown his Division armband onto it, having accidently ripped it to pieces trying to wear it for the first time.
Med Pouch
A large pouch full of medical equipment that he brings with him everywhere in case of an emergency. Usually there isn't but you can never under-prepare.
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 very flighty and mobile.
- 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.
