» B I O

A renowned warrior and prodigy, Suntetsu is a familiar sight to members of his clan. Poised, mature, and open- though not without a mischievous streak-, he freely involves himself in the needs and affairs of his clanmates, offering his sincerity and inviting their reliance as a dependable, brotherly presence to lean on and look to for guidance and companionship alike.

His warm and sincere disposition is as serious and intense as circumstance demands, seamlessly assuming the role of keen but firm protector. This brotherly demeanor shifts ever so slightly in the present company as a means of putting others at ease, drawing upon a deeply-seated empathy both innate and carefully honed. His is driven by the desire to reach out to others and understand them in the way they wish to be understood, the utmost respect he can ever pay to another being.

A paragon of sincere strength and stability, though not without the faults born from the same source; giving, forgiving, and self-reflective, he knows himself and his inner strength- but also struggles with guilt and the extent of his accountability to others. To him, there is nothing more important than his bonds; they are his greatest vulnerability, though for them there is to draw from an endless wellspring of will, resourcefulness, and determination.

His convictions are fiercely deep-seated and drive him to bear all mantles without reserve. How can he not, with wings which seek to foster a selflessly ideal future and willingly stretch wider the greater the weight they bear?

Currently, he travels the wider crow society as Ambassador on behalf of his clan, the newly re-emerged Akaneiro.

EMEICI SAYS
━━━━━ ⁎ ━━━━━

"My brother?" Her eyes light in fond amusement. "For all his selfless and considerate nature, he occasionally needs to be set straight before he forgets himself." She smiles impishly. "Don't be fooled, he overthinks quite readily-- and is quite adorable if you manage to tease him."

━━━━ ❈ ⁎ ❈ ━━━━

SISTER. ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✧ Emeici, adored by the clan and above all by Suntetsu. She's his younger sister, and knows him perhaps better than anyone else. Their teasing, close, and affectionate sibling bond is something Suntetsu couldn't imagine his life without. He keeps nothing from her, except his deepest troubles.

TESSEN SAYS
━━━━━ ⁎ ━━━━━

"Suntetsu. There's no one I know who hasn't been brothered by him at some point." A hint of amusement. "Sometimes, his friendly demeanor puts people off their guard and they forget this force of nature they're contending with."
"In a past life, he must have changed history."

━━━━ ❈ ⁎ ❈ ━━━━

FRIEND. ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✧ The capable, level-headed leader of their clan and the one Suntetsu stands by. He's observed him for some time, beginning with his courting of his sister, and could find nothing save for a humble, intensely committed and sincere young man. He's his closest friend and he has nothing but fondness for him, and his occasional bemusing quirk.

KATAR SAYS
━━━━━ ⁎ ━━━━━

"You're curious about Suntetsu?" A soft laugh, tilting his head with a smile. "He is well loved." One of his hands seems to be occupied turning over a length of silk ribbon, possibly leftover from a recent gift of some kind if one were to assume. "If you find him while he is in Akaneiro, you will see what I mean. There isn't another quite like him."

━━━━ ❈ ⁎ ❈ ━━━━

STRANGER. ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ Suntetsu returned from his travels late one evening, stumbling across a stranger in the night- one that clearly is not kin. Yet his dance draws him in from afar, so very different from what he knows, and yet the sentiment beneath it all so very familiar. Grace silvered in moonlight, free from complexity; right there in the moment.

ACQUAINTANCE. ✦✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ He learns his name the next day; Katar, Heir to the East, Ambassador and Prince of Zhengyu. His demure and charismatic demeanor is personable enough, but Suntetsu can't help but feel further from him than to the genuinely free stranger he glimpsed from afar.

FRIEND. ✦✦✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ Katar expresses himself little, though Suntetsu is happy to invite him for tea whenever he visits. In the spare moments between business, conversing, seeing the sights his home and abroad has to offer, and spending time in his company- Suntetsu finds that despite the arms-length distance, he gives him much to turn over in his mind.

FRIEND. ✦✦✦✧✧✧✧✧✧ Sometime along the way, it seems the Sapphire Prince has gained quite the penchant for elaborate harassment schemes. Suntetsu finds that something awry often has Katar's name signed with a mischievous, neigh-invisible flourish, though Suntetsu himself sees it not with irritation but as a fresh and engaging challenge.

FRIEND. ✦✦✦✦✧✧✧✧✧ Injured, with the decisions of his past come back to threaten what he loves, Suntetsu still brings himself to entertain Katar at the Akaneiro nightmarket. His injuries and avoidance do not go unnoticed however, and through much "coaxing", the prince presses the truth from him and becomes inextricably involved.

The days that follow... He's almost taken aback by the degree to which Katar has chosen to involve himself. For his conviction, Suntetsu is grateful from the depths of his heart. Katar may be a stubborn menace, but by his presence and all the things about him, he's made himself an irreplaceable part of his life.

And sometime along the way- and to his dismay- Suntetsu fell in love with him.

LOVER. ✦✦✦✦✦✧✧✧✧ The Sapphire Prince is confusing, charming, and above all, bad for his heart. Suntetsu didn't expect anything to come of his confession to Katar, much less a courting dance. He can't shake that he's only humoring him, however, and this sentiment hangs over him like a raincloud.

LOVER. ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✧✧ Does he truly know anything of Katar? Can he call the devotion he feels for him genuine? These questions shake him to the core. He never anticipated falling in love like this, and never in several lifetimes with him; there are many things Suntetsu is uncertain about, that he's unsure of and sways him from where he knows he stands.

But he smiled at him. A simple, mirthful smile, pure and too brilliant for his weak heart.

It could all still fall away at any time, but suddenly he finds that that is of little consequence- there is nothing he wants beyond seeing him smile like that again.

LOVER. ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✧ Katar kisses him in Haesbich Sal-in and the thoughts are emptied from Suntetsu's mind like dust to the wind from a window. The Sapphire Prince excuses himself promptly after, though Suntetsu comes to find his odd reservation to be over nothing that Katar doesn't have already.

When he asks for the sleek band about his neck to be removed, he does as he asks, before pressing the undone clasp to his fingers with a fond, deeply trusting smile.

He said he wanted to be his.

~~??? ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ ascended good end~~

ARAHAEL SAYS
━━━━━ ⁎ ━━━━━
"Have you been doing well, Ying-ge?"
━━━━ ❈ ⁎ ❈ ━━━━

ENEMY. ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ A demon from Suntetsu's past, created by him, and weighed upon his conscience ever since. His reappearance is a mirror upon his deepest troubles, and Arahael will allow nobody to exorcise him save Suntetsu himself.

Your soul was a brilliant phoenix
Buried beneath the feathers of a crow
And I knew when I first met you that
You could be more than you know

Your soul was a brilliant phoenix
But I knew that you had much to grow
That you needed careful guidance and a steady hand
To reach your true potential

You were young and with determination
You burned like silver Sirius in the night
And I wanted nothing other
Than to encourage that spark of light

And so I told you about our legends
About the warrior I see in your eyes
In hopes you would choose the path of honor
So your true worth could be realized

I left you to pursue your legends
And turned to the matters of our clan
Seeking not the mantle, but the one
Who could spread peace throughout our land

And I was honoured to be deemed worthy
But I knew our clan’s guide could not be me
The bonds I would have to sacrifice
Would not afford the authority

But naive I was, I lost track
Of you as your obsession grew
Your mind was lost in the haze of glory
And you thought leadership belonged to you

What did you see in the archives that warped you?
What happened to the tales you told me so?
How could you change so suddenly, I can hardly
Believe you are the child I used to know?

In vain I sought to curb your fanaticism
But you turned from me to pursue the past
And it was too late for me to save you, as
Your obsession tore you from my grasp

And in the toxic smoke I found you
Seething with twisted wishes burning dark
And I realized the ghostly cries
Had bred tainted thoughts deep in your heart

You were too blinded by your fantasies
Your drive to kill, I came to comprehend
With heavy heart, I knew driving you out
Was a task that belonged to my hands

Once, I hesitated to oppose you
Now I know the fire stole your mind away
But before all is ash I will take a stand-
Our home, you will not raze.

Katar is awake, the coolness of the night pulls him away from a wayward dream; something of the past. It beckoned at his door and had let itself slip in between his comforts, reminding him of something unnecessary and unpleasant. Still wearing the veil of a deep slumber, he believes himself alone, and for a moment his heart is heavier for it. As he shifts his body, he suddenly feels a warmth that is not his, and with it, a soothing scent. The confusion of something unexpected breaks the immersion over him and the memories leading to the present flood back. His eyes soften as he reaches out, gently resting his hand against Suntetsu's back. That's right. Should he wake from the touch, Katar will bundle the drowsing figure affectionately close from behind. Stay with him.

Just as he reaches the shadows of the trees ahead, Suntetsu takes his hand and pulls him back.

His fingers close around his, affirming that it isn't a mistake.

"Everything," he says, and he lifts Katar's fingers to his lips. "I'll give you everything."

He doesn't know of Katar ever being so honest with anybody- the sunny innocence he always exudes, even when he's pressing him on his feelings, is nowhere to be found. He sees immediately a glimpse of the troubled depths of the person before him, what it is that Katar is trying to warn him about.

But there's only one answer in his mind- could really only ever be one. Whether all was staged against him or not. he lowers their hands, tightens his around Katar's. "I'm yours."

The moon. So distant and lovely. Suntetsu tips his head back to bathe briefly in its gentle glow, a soft breeze sweeping a delicate flutter of petals past his fingers.

Katar calls to him, and he finds himself pulled into a loving embrace. He leans into his touch, content to exist enveloped in his arms. What is it that's on his mind?

Suntetsu smiles and returns his embrace; he's thinking only that it's a beautiful night.

He knows he's slowly losing his sanity, that if it comes down to the line he won't even realize he is responsible for hurting the ones he loves. The visions, the sleeplessness- he knows his pieces are held tenuously together with an invisible, gossamer thread.

But: the strength to not hate himself, to keep living every day, to keep digging in for hope of a possible future. Somehow, Katar is here with him- and so, despite the pain, the night is beautiful.

It's beautiful-- but then again, the image of one's hometown always is. No amount less stunning. No amount less heartaching.

Suntetsu knew this feeling well, has felt it countless times across his travels. In the sound of local street food bring prepared, in the way a bargoer tilts their glass towards a fellow regular, in the tremor of stranger's voice when seized with emotion. No less new, no less novel, no less familiar.

Katar may be showing him this to persuade him of something, but this sight has already ingrained itself in him in the enthusiasm of a friend, gathered around a mess hall table or taking him through the moves of a dance.

He drinks it in, lifts his face to the dying sun and closes his eyes to the gentle caress of Autumnal's soft breathing.

He can't feel much anymore. Months and... months, of burning the candle from both ends, of reaching inside and burning that too. What he gazes upon now is still the same, gentle, unchanging smile.

Katar is gone.

He calls his name, and he knows Katar will come before him. Because that's what he would have done- has always done. And the Hari Kmeria moves with grace, light on his feet, a practiced poise just as he remembers. Exactly as he remembers.

He studies him, those hollow amber eyes lined with scarlet.

There's nothing left.

He closes his eyes. Leans in, and kisses him.

His silence is heartbreaking. His throat is choked on nothing, thoughts crowded out by the overwhelming sense that no matter what he does, he's going to lose him-- his chest squeezes and he's trying to think, trying to think as if he hadn't spent hours and hours and sleepless nights thinking before.

In his mind's eye, Katar is half steeped in shadow.

What can he do?

Once he steps away from him, he will lose him forever.

What can he do?

---- It hurts. He doesn't know why. The pain is blinding, and he doesn't know if it's like being torn in two or if it's relief in its most excruciating form.

He doesn't remember. He remembers it all. He pulled him close, without thinking, and kissed him. And pleaded with him: let him come for him. Let him come for him, he doesn't know when, or how, but wait for him.

Wait for him, please.

Ah... Just why did it have to be you?

He watches his back receed from him, posture straight and perfect and pristine. He knows he sees nothing in him beyond his usefulness, beyond that of an item. And still, there is no drive in him to have him turn, to have him see him at all.

The shadow in his steps seem to trail from his frame like a cloak, the invisible shackles that pull him forward where nothing else was left. He had no choice but to choose this for himself; to have tried every handle in a long dark hallway, and upon the last, find a knife in the back.

The despair was too deep, and he sees in his mind's eye the whisper-silent murder- the severing of the last part that made him human. For his heart was the blood sacrifice demanded by this beloved world of eternal autumn, and to him, to all, it was the necessary price to pay. For all the world needed of him, it could not be.

The killing was silent. Not a single soul was disturbed that night. And there was not one witness, for there was no one there for him in the end.

He was alone, and he bore the world for everyone but himself.

I understand...

It could have never been anyone else.

He's eaten someone before. He wanted to know them, to connect with them- the first person to... to...

Their flesh was hot in his mouth. His hands and face were scarlet and warm and his breath steamed in the chill night air. His hands had unseamed them, and he had ached so painfully for them, for someone, that he took their everything and consumed them whole.

His fingers brush the delicately ruffled petals of the flower before him; uncommon white blossoms which bled red when cut. His claws graze their pure white surface, marring not a single one.

He is a depraved, cursed being. Morbid and undying.

"Demons are never satisfied," he says, softly, gazing into folded heart of the akane. "Demons starve and hunger for flesh and blood, and even then, not one will think of eating me." He closes his eyes, breathes in the delicate floral scent, pushes back the heady throb of pulsing blood his senses know lie just beneath unbroken skin.

The burning, singing torture of forged steel in his flesh, hate and vengefulness bearing down on him with hard eyes and snarled words. He is the demon god, the spawn of hell, the cursed being in these mountains.

The white-hot sensation of his soul being torn from his body, again and again, is his one excruciating connection to the people he loves so dearly.

His breath is a sigh, light like a laugh. "Only a human can 'consume' me."

His undying body and immortal soul.
