Shure Desync
A demon soul born from the coalesce of mortals' desire, Shure was found by an Elezen in Ul'dah who helped him physically manifest into this world so that he could become a being of his own. But a new-born cannot survive in this world alone, thus his mysterious benefactor imparted three important knowledge to him: how to feed himself, to masquerade himself as a mortal, and that he is not alone in this world. It was then that his only friend disappeared, leaving him with still so many questions unanswered. Yet it did not stop him from exploring the world, curious at what it has to offer.Having little to no interaction with mortals, Shure may appear shy and awkward at times. Not only having to satisfy his hunger pushed him to socialize with mortals, but it also piqued his interest in them. He is deeply fascinated by the nuances of desire in each individual, something that the mortals refer to as...."Fetish"? He learnt that by indulging them, the energy that they produced are much sweeter and concentrated. Even so, he chose to keep a low profile, with only a handful of whom he trust knew of his true identity.
The White Lily
A long time ago, it is often said that souls can be born from the sins of mortals. When too much of such energy congregate, they manifest into mindless demons that plague the land. Though seldom seen, these demons often roamed the lands to cause unimaginable havoc. But said demons were gone within a few moons, they simply just...vanished. Some people claimed to have seen a dark-haired Elezen wherever a demon was spotted, but he disappeared just as fast, never leaving a trace. Because of that, people started to believe that he was the one vanquishing the demons. It was no coincidence that he always appeared where the demons lurked. They soon hailed him as the demon slayer, giving him the name "The White Lily", which is the symbol of purity. Till this day, nobody knows if "The White Lily" truly existed, as none has ever seen his face. It is merely a fairy tale after all.
The Demon
A soul was born from the desires of mortals in the dark alleyway of Ul'dah. A mysterious Elezen appeared to hunt it down, only to find a rare soul that is conscious of its own existence.Intrigued, he took the soul as a companion in his travels, guiding and teaching it about its way of life. The soul came to understand the world better through its ventures with the Elezen, though the cruel truth of its kind was brought to light.It fed on the energy of mortals, specifically the feelings of desire - akin to how the soul came into existence in the first place.The Elezen had always been the one procuring sustenance for his little friend. The simplest of way was but a trip down the backstreets of Ul'dah, where the brothels were hidden; or the red-light district in Kugane, where people gather for a night of passion. Often were these streets already overflowing with energy, a quick and easy meal readily available.It was not long before the soul consumed enough energy to be able to hold its own form.They travelled to a cottage far out in the woods from Gridania; a temporary home to the Elezen. It was there the soul finally took its form - A tall and slender figure with strange white markings on his back and torso. Lavender grey locks flowed freely down his shoulder, his fringe covering pale blue eyes slightly, but unable to hide a pair of long pointed ears. On his head were two thin horns, a prominent feature that of his kind.His Elezen friend offered him one last lesson, which was to be able to feed on his own, and the practice target was none other than-the one in front of him.Of course, he would reject said suggestion, yet what he saw next shocked him speechless. Those same horns and black markings revealed as the glamour dropped, emerald eyes staring back at him."Let me show you what we are capable of."Before he could utter a response, his body was not his own. He had naught but one overwhelming feeling - Lust. He was just a puppet being led into a night of pleasure...When he awoke the next morning, the Elezen was gone. He sat there clutching his head, still unable to comprehend the absurdity of what happened. His friend seduced him for the sole reason of showing him how to feed, and the innate ability of their kind.Amidst his perplexity, he caught a glimpse of a note and a black lily on a nearby table. He picked up the note, scanning through the handwritten message.
I hath taught thee all there is to know. Now it is up to thee to decide on how to live thy life.
I hope thou had a wonderful time. ♥P.S. Doth remember to cast glamour on thyself to shadow thy appearance.
- The White Lily
He took the black lily in his hands, fingers caressing its soft petals as he sighed. Though he was upset at his friend for the disappearing act, he still cherished the adventures they had together. Thus, having decided to explore more of this vast world, he took on the name Shure Desync and began his journey. He hoped to meet his dear friend again someday, just to give the Elezen a piece of his mind.
The Black Lily
Having once been on the receiving end, losing total control over one's actions and thoughts was not something Shure liked to subject his partners to. That was why he vowed to never invoke his ability. Stories of his little sexual jaunts were starting to become a hindrance to his adventuring, thus he donned a mask to hide his identity. Despite being a demon, his exceptional love for mortals made him care for them. Shure only took what little energy was needed to sustain himself, and his partners would always wake up to a black lily upon their bed. That is how the rumours of The Black Lily came about; a mysterious and elegant Elezen that spend the night with whomever he fancies, but nobody knows exactly who or what he is.
