Xircinus is one of the members of CG1, a special individual recruited for the project from thier home in the Farrión Woods. Possessing both the honed talents of a well trained operative, a talented magic user, and the unusual characteristics imbued from thier birth and childhood in the Farrión Woods, they are a valued and important part of the Cosmic Gate Project.
Early Life
Xircinus was 'born' in a swamplike pool of goo deep within the mystical Farrión Woods. Their earliest memory is floating in that primordial liquid, gazing up at the stars that twinkled above through the forest canopy. This initial encounter with the night sky sparked a lifelong fascination with astronomy.
As Xircinus gained sentience, they began to explore their surroundings and soon encountered the children from the nearby Farrión Village. The children were initially both fascinated and apprehensive, but their curiosity soon overcame their fear. Xircinus, equally intrigued by the children, gradually learned to take on a more humanoid form, mimicking the shapes of their new friends.
Adaptation and Learning
Xircinus's interaction with the children from Farrión Village led them to accompany the group when they ventured into the wider world. Moving to the bustling city of Cassea, Xircinus was exposed to a wealth of knowledge, particularly in the fields of astronomy and magic. Despite their deep appreciation for the education they received, Xircinus chose to maintain their residence in nature, finding solace in the untouched beauty of the Elben Woods.
Life in the Elben Woods
Xircinus currently resides in a massive, ancient library situated in the heart of the Elben Woods, a vast, pristine forest located northwest of Cassea. The library, constructed around a colossal tree, is a marvel of elven architecture and craftsmanship. The origins of the library are shrouded in mystery, with various scholars and historians debating its true creators.
On the roof of one of the domes of this grand library, Xircinus has built a large telescope, allowing them to gaze at the stars each night. Their deep connection to the stars and the mysteries of the cosmos has only grown stronger over the years.
Cosmic Gate Project
When the opportunity arose to explore the stars through the Cosmic Gate Project, Xircinus eagerly accepted the offer. The chance to not only observe but also travel to distant celestial bodies was a dream come true for the inquisitive plasmoid.
Challenges and Acceptance
As a plasmoid, Xircinus faces unique challenges. Their gelatinous form and rare existence often make them stand out, even in a diverse and bustling metropolis like Cassea. Despite the occasional feeling of being out of place, Xircinus has found acceptance and camaraderie within the ranks of the CGHQ. The organization values Xircinus for their unique abilities and perspectives, treating them with the same respect and consideration as any other member.
Personal Connections
Xircinus has a special fondness for their childhood friend, Seldzsar, who affectionately nicknamed them 'Squishy'. This bond is a cherished part of Xircinus's life, and they often reminisce about their shared experiences and adventures.
