Character Concept
During the first two hundred years, he has nearly lost his sanity on multiple occasions, which always resulting in the death of someone. To counter this, Shiyami has created multiple personality or mindsets within himself, that he can switch between depending on the situation. His main personality is kind but laid-back type. His second is where he is in a 'combat perspective', where he will think as a cold mercenary. There is also the third personality, that he never touches. This, is the personality that holds his insanity. He is afraid that, if he switches to the third personality, he will never be the same again.
Due to the cause of his death, when his left eye is opened, it leaves a red line in the air. This red line lingers for about 10 seconds before fading, and is very visible, whether day or night. The red line is drawn even when he blinks to a different location. Though Shiyami could just keep his left eye closed constantly, it isn't as easy to judge distances correctly, which could be lethal in battle. Therefore, he only opens his left eye when the need arises.
Now, when you have lived for over hundreds of years, you lose interest in many things. Topics that people have pondered for days, like meaning of life, or topics that cause great worry, similar to maybe...the diplomatic relations between cities. These topics have unfortunately become rather repetitive for Shiyami. Once you hear the last five generations of living beings fluster themselves over such problems, you tend to roll your eyes, and plug your years, no? It has gotten to the point where he will pass time by sleeping. When he sleeps, he can end up sleeping for weeks, of not months, as long as nothing disturbs his sleep.
Now, Shiyami also hasn't made many friends, and even among the minuscule amount that he has, known of them are alive anymore. He may have the appearance of a 14 year old, but when you have been alive -or existing...- for more than a century, your vocabulary improves. Now whenever he goes out to associate, he usually gets strange looks from everyone nearby, not for the reason that he is a ghost, but because a 14 year old who can rival or even best a full grown man in the common language is not something one witnesses on a daily basis. It has gotten to the point where he might even respond with a quote or a riddle. Even though Shiyami tries to become friends with others, he would rather befriend a ghost then any other race, due to the fact that ghosts can continue to exist for a very, very, long time.
He is a ghost, so he carries his belongings in a different way. He has a large box, where he stashes everything he needs into. Normally he just floats this box near his back, but sometimes when he is bored, he tends to leave the box on the ground, nudging it slowly alongside him.
Character History
Shiyami was born to a violent man, who's name has been long forgotten. This man was aggressive and volatile to the extreme. He would beat anyone and anything whenever he was in a bad mood. Which pretty much meant every single day, someone got punished. Whether it was a servant, animal, or even family member, no one was safe from his wrath. Not coming as a surprise, this man also had extremely terrible relations with people from nearby households. Soon enough, though this doesn't come at a surprise, it is nonetheless horrific. Something had snapped inside Shiyami's father's mind, and in broad daylight, started slaughtering his entire household in the most inhumane ways a person could think off. Maybe a few that only those who are insane would have known. Before an hour had passed, the entire household was dead, with the father given capital punishment. However, this wasn't the end of the story of Shiyami. Waking up, Shiyami thought that what just happened was just a nightmare, but a quick look around displaced that hope. Blood coated almost every inch of surface around him. Bodies were dismembered and disboweled, and litter the already horrifying scene. Thinking back, Shiyami remembered that as he was coming down the stairs to investigate what the loud commotion was about, he saw his father down the hallway, who turned around, covered in blood, holding a head in his left hand, and a butcher knife in his right. As his father charged towards him, Shiyami told himself to move, however his legs wouldn't respond. Rooted to the spot in fear, Shiyami saw his father swing the knife down, and plunge it into his left eye, killing him instantly.
From his memory of his death, Shiyami concluded that he was a ghost. For some odd reason, that was when he started laughing. After a short while, and getting a hold of himself, Shiyami explored the building. Funny how empty the place felt, without the putter patter of servants running about, and the blood coating the entire place made him feel as if he was in a different house — no, a different world. As he turned the corner, he noticed something out of place. A black, double sided scythe. It wasn't the weapon itself that caught Shiyami's attention. It was the lack of blood on it. Grabbing the scythe, Shiyami placed it onto his back. Even to this day, if you asked him why he decided to take the scythe, he couldn't answer you. Afterwards, Shiyami left the building, he walked around the city, until noticing the body of his father discarded. Unfortunately, he now couldn't rip his father apart alive in revenge, thereby putting Shiyami at a loss for words. Settling for ripping apart the body, and leaving it for the rats to feast upon, Shiyami walked out of the city, terrifying a few citizens here and there by having a person dressed in black, with a red trail following his left eye, float out the hall.
As the years past, Shiyami hasn't really felt the need to move on in the afterlife. When does a man die? When he is shot through the heart? When he has been blown apart? When he has been shredded to bits? No, a man dies when he has been forgotten! With that in mind, Shiyami continues to travel around, exploring strange sights and the like. Until his sanity frayed. He had lost his sanity, when he saw an abusive father dragging his son along the road towards a caravan. Shiyami completely lost it, and floated over, to rip the man apart. However, when one has lost their rational mind, one can not differentiate between friendliest and hostiles. Almost everyone was dead. Even the horses were ripped asunder by his scythe. The few that survived the ordeal, ran screaming for the city, where rumors spread of a demon, or monster. They started to call Shiyami 'Ake Auge', or the Scarlet Eye. When he managed to regain control over his madness, he fled the area, and swore not to approach anyone until you learned to control his madness. Several years later, and the rumors of the Scarlet Eye has dwindled down, Shiyami has managed to create a counter to his insanity. By splitting his personality, he could contain most if not all of said madness in a seperate area of his mind. That personality, he will never touch as long as he can. Of course, living(existing) now two generations after the Scarlet Eye incident, Shiyami has started to grow bored of the average routine of watching the city grow, and watching people come together, and fall apart. Deciding to attempt to obtain a job, Shiyami found his way into larceny. Or more specifically, murdering. Well, it took a week to get the lawless to stop swinging at his head in fear every single time he stepped in. On his first job, he was required to kill the guards surrounding a caravan that was coming in towards the city. Shiyami managed to finish the guards off successfully, and without collateral damage either. He was never paid either, not that Shiyami cared. What was he suppose to do with mizas anyways as a ghost? As these jobs continues, the rumors of the Ake Auge returned. Even though he has gotten bored of larcenies, and quite the job, the rumors did not die down this time. To this very day, they say that the Scarlet Eye murders anyone who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They also say that he never dies, never ages. That it doesn't matter how many years has past, that he will get you, your grandchildren, and even your great(x5) grandchildren if he feels like. Of course, those are rumors now...right? Every once in awhile, Shiyami went back to murdering trade caravan's guards for the bandits, but otherwise stayed peaceful. He has drifted back towards Syliras, his hometown, to have a nice chat with random guests at the taverns, or float nearby the city, just watching it. He may try new stuff sooner or later, but for now, he is content with just being a normal person, abeit as normal as someone who becomes transparent and floats can be.
