Name: Xyn Arye
Role: ???
Face Claim: Mizuki
Face Claim Series: Dramatical Murder
What did they do before the Apocalypse?: He was a con artist and occasional pickpocket.
Special Skills/Talents: Very good at lying/acting.
Extra: He’s also not too terrible at fighting, since a lot of people he conned tended to hold grudges, and he’s gotta find a way out of that somehow.
Personality: Xyn considers himself very easy to get along with, and it’s not a lie. He’s very easy-going and it’s extremely difficult for him to get upset or angry. That being said, he isn’t capable of showing those emotions very well. He laughs when he’s nervous or upset, so it’s hard to tell if he’s being his usual self or not. Sometimes he can properly express emotions, but most times it’s with laughter or smiles. It’s habit for him. Hopefully those who get to know him well enough will eventually be able to tell if he needs consoling or not. And if you do get to know him well? He’ll be incredibly loyal to you. Regardless of his con artist past, he doesn’t lie unless it’s necessary. He’s overly cheery and trusting to a fault. It’d be easy to manipulate someone like him, but he could definitely manage to lie or act his way out of most things if he sees necessary. Xyn is a person who would be really good at helping to boost morale, and he’d go out of his way to comfort others who needed it. He has no sense of personal space, he’s very touchy to those who he becomes close with. Conceited might also describe him, slightly. He has no self-esteem issues most of the time, but occasionally he’ll get into states where he needs a lot of reassurance. When he’s under stress, he gets very nervous and overwhelmed and has a tendency to over-apologize.
Background: It’s actually surprising how someone with Xyn’s past can seem so upbeat all the time. Happiness wasn’t common for him after his mother had died and he had never known his father. So he ended up alone, with the exception of his younger sibling. Yet, he always had to keep up appearances for his brother. He had to pretend everything was alright for him, but when you do something like that for so long, it’s easy for someone to fall apart. Xyn was only fourteen when his mother passed, and his younger brother was five. It wasn’t an easy thing caring for him, especially considering that five year olds aren’t the most rational and understanding of people.
Eventually they were found out by their neighbors, were reported to child protective services and had to be sent to foster home after foster home. None treated them nicely. Once Xyn was 18, he was able to leave and adopted his brother. It wasn’t easy caring for someone as their guardian at only 18, but Xyn did the best he could. He managed briefly before, and now that his brother was older it was a lot easier than it had been.
It wasn’t a moral thing he did, but he and his brother managed to pull off a lot of cons. Now that his brother was old enough to understand how things worked, he was able to go along with most things Xyn suggested. It’s how they paid for rent and food. If he couldn’t pull one off, he’d resort to just pickpocketing. He only did it to care for his brother as best as he could. Providing not money for just food and rent, but for school fees, medical expenses, and small things to make his brother happy. Those things aren’t cheap, and Xyn never bought anything for himself, but it’s worth it to see his younger brother living the nicest life he’s able to at this time.
Though, neglecting himself so much has taken a negative toll on him. Due to the trauma of seeing his mothers dead body at such a young age, he cannot correctly process emotions. He also keeps personal things to himself, especially if they’re serious or important problems. He feels as if he has everything under control, but sometimes the world comes crashing down around him. Breakdowns are a common occurrence with Xyn, but he always manages to keep it together until no one else is around. He doesn’t want to be vulnerable, and doesn’t consider any of his problems too terrible. He knows he has to put on a brave face for his brother, he has to be a good older sibling. All he really wants, though, is for someone to care about and comfort him.
On a more moral and positive note, Xyn also likes to take in stray cats and dogs he finds, and cares for them until someone calls in to adopt them. Of course he wishes their mother was still around. Things would’ve been so much easier, and he’d hope she’d be proud of him, even with the conning and stealing. (And you know, she probably would be.) He misses her everyday, and tells stories about things she had done in the past, how great of a person she was, and really anything positive about her. He doesn’t want to forget about her.
When Xyn’s not caring for his brother and a few pets, or pulling off cons, he does manage to have a few flings. Nothing serious, nothing long-lasting. In fact, his longest relationship was only around three months. He’s fond of one night stands. It’s definitely shallow, but he tries to go out with people who make a decent amount of money.
Regarding friendships, there’s a few people he hangs around at times, but he’s not very close to anyone besides his brother. Xyn is a very “all or nothing” kind of person. If you’re acquaintances, it’s unlikely he’ll try to strengthen that bond. If you’re friends, good friends, he’ll do absolutely anything for you.
