Sygglona "Sygg" Ahtmaswyn
Seafaring explorer, trained historian, field researcher, and unrestrained swashbuckling adventure addict.
An Early Personal History
Late 20's 🟇 Roegadyn 🟇 Transfem She/They 🟇 Pansexual
Born to a pair of staunch Lominsan traditionalists, Sygglona Ahtmaswyn lost her parents to changing times and a particularly violent political shift before she could manage to commit their faces to memory. For most their parents would be foundational in their earliest memories. But for Sygg? As far back as she can go, she always remembers The Lominsan Arcanist's Guild first.Many of her earliest years were spent pestering career academics and pouring over books. She read of Nyunkrepf Nyunkrefsyn, the ark builder and prophetic astronomer, founder of Sharlayan and savior of countless lives during the great flood of the Sixth Umbral Era. She read of Ketenramm the Blue, famed sailor and explorer who chased his dreams across an ocean, single-handedly proving the existence of The New World, Tural, to the Eorzean public. She stared at maps and charts, poured over cultural accounts and interviews with far off peoples. Limsa Lominsa was home, but Hydaelyn was so much bigger than her city state. To live isn't just to eat and breathe, its to discover, explore, and learn! It was her duty to see as much of the world as she possibly could, wasn't it? Was life really worth any less than that?For the first time in her life, a young Sygglona discovered a sense of purpose.Days turned to decades as she quickly worked herself through the ranks of academic achievement and adventuring alike, splitting herself down the middle between scholarly duties and contracted adventuring guild work. She was happy to have had her life take a shape resembling her historical idols, but it all still felt a little.. empty. Like there was more out there. Like she needed to go further, like something was pulling at her still-beating heart inside her chest, echoes and reflections of a destiny she could never quite seem to grasp dancing along the horizon, just out of reach.

At Her Core
Sygglona, or just Sygg as she tends to prefer, is a hurricane of a woman: bullheaded, prideful, and unflinchingly persistent in combat and curiosity both. Life as an orphan on the streets of Limsa Lominsa taught her to be tough, and life within the halls of academia taught her that she doesn't always have to be. She's a forger of questions and seeker of answers, her wandering mind pulling her in a variety of directions before her sense of logic or realism can manage to get a word in. She's not completely bereft of reason, of course, but she is wildly impulsive, and she's got just enough ego to fuel that impulsivity something fierce.The woman is still a trained scholar, however, behavior not withstanding. Her knowledge of Eorzean Histories and beyond is nothing short of impressive, at least to the layman, and she's managed to wrap her head around a smattering of additional scholastic disciplines in response to her adventures.While the Lominsan old ways were decidedly before her time, Sygg holds a substantial amount of pride for her Sea Wolf heritage. Several of her heroes growing up were Sea Wolf Roegadyn who answered the call of the salt, and so too has she. The traditional attitudes and philosophies her ancestors carried within them from Aerslaent to Eorzea have stuck with her like little else. Her natural strength? A gift to be cherished. Her challenges in life? To be met with a smile and hard work. Her tendency to boast and revel in her accomplishments? Something to work on, perhaps, but tradition all the same. As far as she's concerned, her ancestors had the right of things: take pride in your gifts, but never lose your drive to work, learn, and improve.Sygg has adopted a lifestyle defined by discovery, adventure, investigation, and a staggeringly high potential mortality rate. The potent levels of strength, endurance, and durability she's received and cultivated as a chosen of the Mothercrystal are far from wasted on her... if anything, they've enabled a series of increasingly risky behaviors that would have killed the average Eorzean citizen some several times over by now.The woman is an adventurer by trade like most of the chosen, though she would insist upon the term Explorer. In all fairness to her it's a reasonable descriptor, as she most often gravitates toward tasks related to sailing, field research, cultural exchange, and delving into the deepest and oldest corners of the world. To reach outside of the realm of Eorzea for a moment, Sygg has effectively molded herself into a pulp adventure hero of sorts, sharing an archetype with characters like Indiana Jones or Nathan Drake.
The Small Stuff
We've all got our quirks and Sygg is no different. Here's a few that would be more immediately obvious:🟇 Sygg's eyes are differing colors, milky white on the right and an equally clouded sea-foam green on the left. This is actually a permanent visual impairment akin to astigmatism. Her right eye is aethersighted, while her left is aetherblind due to (Spoilers for Shadowbringers MSQ)
Adventure Awaits
Sygg, as a world traveler and generally impulsive person, can be well suited to a large variety of scenarios and characters. While nothing is strictly off limits, here's a short list of things I feel would be an immediate fit:
