☼ keep in mind

The sun had cast its gaze upon him, he who harnessed its power in birth; the very force which countless human sacrifices were made for. Their chosen child, elevated from the celestial event he was born in, an eclipse which blessed him and cursed his twin. He emerged from the womb into a place of worship, glorified, sanctified in stark opposition to his vilified, impotent twin. Hyunjin, his name was declared, holding meanings of a brilliant treasure to the ruling family of Pyrolith.

In personality, Hyunjin is rather closed off, distant and assertive. His vulnerabilities are reserved only for his twin, who can sense his emotions to an extent. Though extremely protective of his siblings, he rarely allows them close. Since young, he was put on the defensive stance, forced to mature early and be the caregiver his parents never were. Responsibilities before emotions, others before himself, always. Though, solicitous tendencies aside, he possesses degrees of hubris attributed to his status as Pyrolith's chosen. Ambitious and cunning, his resolve is unmatched. Whatever he sets his mind to, he must achieve.

On two extremes, Hyunjin and Gayoung were in childhood. One, attended to at all times and the other completely neglected. A distinction of abilities sundered them. It robbed them of one another for years, yet their sacred bond recovered with the blossoming of maturity. By the age of six, the boy could no longer stand watch as his twin was treated like a peasant. Resistance and protection, he vowed for her. It did not matter to him that she was without power. He would preserve her from all harm nonetheless. Even if its source was his own parents. "I will not train if she is not with me." he would stipulate until her isolation was over. Until she was given at least half his treatment. For between them was a connection no human could fathom. Certainly not him. Her affliction pained her over the years tremendously. It was enough pain for one little girl. He would not allow her to bear any more of it.Thus, his hatred towards his parents began. They were ruthless rulers who cared not for anyone but themselves and the persistence of their legacy. Even more so when they carelessly caused civil wars in his early years and sought to watch the deaths of his siblings in search of a powerful heir. By the time of the Rite of Selection, he and his twin had outgrown the philosophies of the palace and honed their skills in preparation to usurp the throne. They simply could not allow their siblings to die in vain. United, they seized power from the prior king and queen and imprisoned them in the mines, beneath Ashenvale's largest volcano, where they were to be sacrificed to the sun in the next eclipse; just as they planned to do with their children. Following that night, the twins were selected to rule Pyrolith as the strongest pair who put an end to the merciless command of their parents.
