HL :: Sirath Langlois (Application)

Sirath’s first noticeable trait is his stand offish behavior. It’s not common to see him approaching other individuals or engaging in casual conversation simply for the pleasure of talking. Instead, he prefers the company of solitude; even at the social areas like the tavern. However if you decide to approach the grumpy man, Sirath will not turn you away. At first, the conversation will seem somewhat one sided with his one-word answers but if the person continues speaking or stumbles upon a subject he enjoys then he doesn’t fail to open up a  little bit.

Be warned though, Sirath is a brutally honest person regardless of the relationship status. He’s not afraid to speak his mind on any subject and can be easily seen as quite abrasive; harsh. Still, believing honesty is the best policy, do not expect an apology for him or receive the ‘what I really meant’ speech from this individual if you happen to take it to heart; even if you slapped him right across the face in response. But tears, especially from women, or extremely harsh word after meeting someone leave a bad taste in his mouth. As stated, Sirath will not apologize but instead will send a gift or offer the individual out to eat in order to show it was not intentionally meant to hurt the person.

Otherwise, after getting to know the brute a little better, expect to see his more positive traits such as his strong loyalty to his family (the animals on his ranch) and friends; think of it in terms of a dog’s loyalty in the sense if someone is harmed, he’ll come to the defense, or if he is needed in any way that does not go against his own beliefs he will not hesitate to be there. Sirath in a comfortable atmosphere or in the presence of someone he tolerates can be quite meddlesome from openly teasing people, jokingly stealing items, and presenting his flirtatious side.

Also, though it isn’t always noticeable, Sirath is extremely dedicated to hobbies, work, etc. due to the hatred of letting someone one up him and feeling somewhat useless unless he’s accomplishing something with himself being as a young teenager he didn’t exactly observe his life with the most positive outcomes. He’s always looking for something new to concur but, be prepared, if you want to get involved in it, that Sirath is quite the competitive individual with little remorse to winning or losing.

The childhood of Sirath Riverweb is not known or recorded in any records available to the public eye. In fact, not even Sirath himself knows of his time before the orphanage, or rather, a time before his sixth birthday. Its uncertain what happened to the Riverweb family after they dropped off their three children but the eldest of their children knew they were never coming back, they were never going to sit around a table as brothers and sisters again, and he was certainly no Riverweb. 

For the next eight years, Sirath memorized every inch of the orphanage, ignored each and every helper, and did not have an issue picking on those smaller to him. Rather than sticking with his brother and sister, he found other older children to impress with how many rolls he could grab in the dinner line. He assumed they were only holding him back anyway, that they were the reason why his parents left them here. Regardless of his foul temper, and lack of social skills, there were some families who tried to shift the youngster around from bullying to a path of manners and schooling. Though each family failed in the end, there were some families that managed to put a few years of school under his belt and form the proper techniques to at least communicate on an above basic level with other individuals. Yes, even during the dark moments Sirath found small happiness between the constant shift of living at the orphanage, to a home, back to the orphanage in due time. 

However, knowing at the age of sixteen a child must be removed from the orphanage into permanent residence of the area had him terrified. Sirath was already fourteen years old and families did not come by as often compared to his younger years. Also, both of his brother and sister were in good homes now...what was the point in staying? So, on a night while out running errands with a few other children, separated for the moment but promising to meet up at a specific lamppost later, for the orphanage workers he slipped off into the night never to be found among that town again. 

Four years past, and Sirath's attitude on life had no improved in the slightest, only, now he had others to bask in it with. He joined among some of the worst crowds possible, bar hopping with extra clubbing on the side, pick pocketing strangers, and harassing individuals to steal what they classified as "the good stuff". Sirath felt like he was finally living life after all those years and giving the respectful middle finger to whoever stood in his path. But as the world likes to put it, things never last. 

The summer of his eighteenth year, robbing a grocery store after hours went horribly wrong and the small group was hauled off to stand trial. Honestly, Sirath was prepared to spend the rest of his life in a cell constantly inhaling other male body odor and knowing little of fresh air; deep down he was secretly disappointed in himself. This was likely not the life his parents wanted him to live or his siblings wanted him to follow while they sat around a Thanksgiving feast. He soiled what little of a name he had. However, somewhere along the trial process and bringing up his past life at the orphanage the police women who had actually brought the group into the station offered to home the young adult and if she kept him on the right path for a year then this charge would be cleared while he worked off the rest. 

Clarice Langlois kept that promise. Four more years passed by in a flash as Sirath Langlois cleaned up himself little by little. Sure, his gruff personality never completely left but his thievery turned into nothing more than meddlesome teasing. He obtained a basic education for his age and shifted through a few jobs under Clarice's guidance either around her home owned ranch or the nearest town from them, but even under the roof of one of the most caring women out there, Sirath still felt incomplete. She often told stories about her old life in Raccolto, before marrying her deceased husband and moving where they currently were, and described it nothing short of 'life changing', a 'person shaper', and nowhere near a disappointment. Though living the life of a rancher requires hard work and a high level of patience, neither which Sirath would list as something he willing had regardless of tending to Clarice's ranch day by day, he talked to her for hours about each little detail, event, etc. Raccolto provided. 

Now, twenty three years old, it was time he set off for himself. Sirath packed up what little he possessed over the years and sought out the path of a proper rancher his guardian Clarice once walked along. And there was only one place he had in mind to start his new life off among; Raccolto. He's not entirely sure what to expect being a below average socializer but his determination to prove himself as value in people's life will evidently fuel his desires to accomplish whatever he puts his mind to as a hopeful new rancher among the sea of new faces.

Aodh is the type of pet who treats strangers with open paws and doesn't hold back on the kisses. But when he's alone with simply his owner, well, this cuddle-loving pup turns mischievous and aggressively playful. Aodh does not hesitate to ruin Sirath's clothes or make his day a little harder at every chance the Growlithe can get. Still, besides this little trick game they play with one another, Aodh is extremely loyal of his owner. He enjoys following him wherever he goes, such as when Sirath goes to the local tavern he waits outside for him patiently, and prefers sleeping at the end of Sirath's bed where he can be at his owners side at a moments notice. After all, Aodh is internally grateful to the man for saving him from the severe rainfall the night Sirath had moved into his new home.
