Essence Manifestation: Physical
Personality: Reyn views himself as a gentleman's gentleman. A bit wily and clever, he takes great pride in his own wit. From an early age, he has been influenced by tales of heroism and knighthood. The spirit of chivalry always appealed to him and so he has adopted much of it into his own personal philosophy. Slow to anger, caring and compassionate, Reyn always looks for the brighter side to life and tries to bring others to this point of view. He understands there is a balance to all things, and believes all should pause and enjoy the present. For Reyn, haste must never be mistaken for speed. Despite being a rabbit, he is very brave for an animal normally considered to be prey. Views fighting as a last resort to any situation, wars should not be ended by war. He doesn't like to be alone, and that happens quite often as a traveling bard.
Background:
Born as the oldest of a family of sixteen, Reyn's parents could never handle the task on their own, especially living in the barren territories of Dismorigan. Being the oldest meant he had the most responsibility amongst his siblings. Being rabbit Shiera, it was not uncommon to lose a brother or sister every few now and then, t'was the way the world worked after all. From an early age, Reyn was taught by his parents how to survive, how to live off not but a few coins a week and taught him how to teach his siblings. He has always had an obsession with old tales of heroism and nobility. Much of his childhood, he ran around playing with his siblings pretending to be a noble hearted knight.
The Crocell family had a "pay it forward" tradition. If a relative showed you a kindness, you would show that same kindness to two others, and those two would do the same to two more until all were equal. With this in mind, Reyn took it upon himself to teach the skills he learned to a few of his younger siblings. The youngest of the children needed someone to look up to, and for them, it was Reyn. It was the duty for the older to care for the younger until they could care for themselves.
Conditions were often miserable, with all the conflict and strife going on in the world his family never stayed in one place for more than a year or two. He wanted something more for them, they didn't deserve to live like this, he didn't deserve to live like this. Nobody did. As he and his siblings grew older, the family grew smaller. Small groups were easier to survive in than one mass unit, and so the family was split with the oldest moving out.
It was around this time he discovered his essence, having to travel and live alone for the first time in his life. Everyone knows there are two kinds of Shiera in Dismorigan: there are the quick, and there are the dead. When he set out on his own, he discovered, a soft light would twinkle and a surge of energy would rush forth, filling himself and things around him. Reyn himself as well as objects and beings touched by this power seemed to accelerate or slow down for a short spell. Being raised on tales of chivalry the way he was, he knew this power was to be used, not abused. It was used sparingly at first, as it slowly grew in strength. He had no idea what this was, there was nothing like it he was certain. This gift still confuses him, but after much toil he found he could invoke it at will.
He has recently learned that much of his family have fled to the forests Weithala and has been journeying living as a bard to meet them there.
Fear: To be alone forever and never seeing his family again.
Quirks: Can never say directly say "no" to a lady and likes to talk in similes.
