About

Fisherman turned gunslinger, Shy’s a bit of an odd one. He always says what he thinks when he thinks it, to the dismay of everyone around him, especially his wife. He may be shy but this wandering bard has a song in his heart louder than anyone knows.

Lore (™)

(current rewrite underway so not all here is current/accurate)
Shy was raised by his grandpa and was taught to be a fisherman just like him. He’d spend his days at the fishermen’s guild with his grandpa and his friends, watching the stars and singing songs of the sea. Shy loved fishing more than most, but what he enjoyed more was the songs. In his heart, he knew what he wanted from his life. He wanted to be a bard. Saying goodbye to his Limsa, he set out to Gridania. While practicing the bow he got the attention of a young elezen botanist (with a stray arrow through a pot). The two of them shared a love of the stars and thought that maybe those stars had brought them together. Both somewhat oddballs in their communities, they moved to ishgard in the hopes of becoming astrologists, but for Wylin, fate had another hand to play. While drinking in the forgotten knight he met a limsian pirate named Rostnsthal. After sharing stories of their homeland for what felt like hours, Rostnsthal noted how they needed people for the machinist guild and how he just might be what they were looking for. And thus, the bard with a gun, Shy Wylin, was born.
