High time to introduce Cyril, the main character of my story!
Cyril grew up on a pirate ship and spent nearly his whole life by the side of the Aestus Crew. He comes across as playful and outgoing - he loves being the center of attention! He likes meeting new people, however, interacting with his peers is difficult for him, as he spent most of his life around adults. Sometimes, Cyril uses his cheerful attitude to deceive and catch people off guard, either to steal something from them or divert their attention from whatever his crewmates are doing in the background... Unfortunately, he's still young and quite gullible.
After the sudden death of his father and the disappearance of his crew, he's left on his own, with no closure at all. However, a certain commissionee and researcher from Liyue offers to take him under his wing...
