CHUCK HIM ANYWHERE ...
GENERAL MULTIVERSE.
Highly adaptable, and used to abrupt changes, Airin finds himself in the strangest of places due to the nature of The Veil– the pocket dimension he calls home. It may have some hiccups, but if Airin finds himself in another world he'll take it upon himself to blend in and not panic. He figures his brother will come to find him eventually, but that doesn't seem promising so far.
SYMPHONY OF THE KOROKS ...
LEGEND OF ZELDA.
The Koroks are spirits who reside within Korok Forest– the lively forest in the center of the Lost Woods. Annually the Korok spread across Hyrule to aid in the fertilization of the vast flora of the country.

Although the friendly, mischievous Korok will show themselves from time to time for a trick.While the Great Deku Tree watches over the Korok Forest and the Master Sword, it’s Airin who typically keeps the Korok spirits safe. Acting as an protective, older brother to the them his daily tasks typically are playing with them, easing their woes, and mending their fights. Airin holds a special connection to all of the Koroks. Knowing each by name and knows exactly what kind of fruit they like.When Airin isn’t playing with the spirits, he’s protecting the boundaries of the Lost Woods. Never offering any assistance and wards off any beings with ill intentions. Using the Korok’s magic he’s capable of using their portals to hop to other areas of Hyrule. There he charades himself as a thieving man to avoid any connection drawing back to Korok Forest.

GOD WITHOUT PRAYER...
DND / BG3.
Airin and his sibling, Xavier, were the Gods who sparked creation and destruction across the universe. Their favorite creation– Faerun, for all of its life and splendor, became home to them as the universe settled. For many centuries, the brothers were revered for their power. As many more Gods formed to take place in the Great Balance, Airin and Xavier fell back into obscurity as common folk forgot of the twin Gods' great deeds.Airin did not mind this in the slightest; what he didn't predict would be the greed that came with sentient life. He saw how the new Gods exploited their power and following, and vowed he would never hold the same cruelty.Now a god without prayer, he holds the same strength as his creations– albeit for his immortality. He travels Faerun either as a High Elf or as a special form dubbed Felicid– which he's most comfortable in. He's unable to reach the same form as he once had, but he doesn't mind.His days are spent being mercenaries for hire with Xavier within Baldur's Gate.
A FORBIDDEN LONGING...
WARRIOR CATS.
Suntuft, a golden-blond oriental longhair, doesn't strive for greatness or for power. The life of a leader, or even deputy, fills his heart with discomfort. Thus, despite his excellence on the battlefield, he strives to be out of the spotlight.Why? The seasoned warrior longs for a life outside of the clans, but to be an outsider means giving up his family and community. Leaving means he'll become an enemy, not only to rival clans but also to his own. And so he remains, unhappy with his life.*His clan, or if he's an apprentice, will fall in line with other people's AUs for the ease of plotting!
DOMINUS MONTIS...
OWL HOUSE.
He heard the first cry of the broken palisman. Brothers and sisters had their lives stolen from them for an otherworldly demon's sick fetish. He didn't have the power to stop him then, and he doesn't have it now. Not when his companion has been six feet under for years.He now denies the identification of palisman for his own safety. The strange specimen wanders the Boiling Isles, away from villages, to live his life in solitude and observation. He'll still approach witches if the interaction deems itself amusing, or if they're in need of aid. Though he is wary of those without a palisman– especially the Golden Guard.He has no desire to become someone's palisman again. His trust is far and few between, and his friendships are even fewer. Not when he can still hear the wicked screams of his fallen kin.
A QUIET SONG...
MODERN.
He met her when he was 19. She made him feel so special and loved, yet he has no recollection of her face. The 7 years that followed are nothing more than blacked-out memories behind smoke mirrors. In the oceans of the past, only fear and resentment remain.It's been 6 years since then, and even with rehab and therapy he still can't recall who he was in those 7 years. It's probably for the best. Since the life he's made for himself now is promising. He has a job at a bar called The Gear Shift, he reconnected and living with his twin brother, and he has friends who will always be there for him.But he's still picking up the pieces. He knows he'll never be whole again, and he might never love again. But he has to keep trying, he has no choice.
GOLDEN SEVEN...
FF7R.
Deep in the laboratory of Shinra Headquarters, Airin can't feel the planet dying. Down here there's only the buzz of machinery, the snickering of Professor Hojo, and the screams of his victims. There's some form of peace to that– to forgetting his name and claiming the title of Golden 7 and sleeping through the end of the world.Then the opportunity to escape presents itself and he takes it, and upon seeing the sun again he steadily remembers the value in life. Thus, he finds solace in the cozy city of Kalm. He plans to stay out of the way of Shinra by using a rare shifting materia– which disguises him as a human. Allowing him to blend into the community with ease and little detection.He isn't sure how long it'll be until he's discovered, but until the inevitable, he wants to live out the planet's last days in peace.
IN THE NAME OF PROGRESS...
OUTLAST TRIALS.
The other reagents speak of a flier; a spark of hope that left them drowning in despair. But Airin has no recollection of it. He has no recollection of burning his documents either. The other reagents speak of the first trial, but all he can recall is Easterman whispering that they know– they all know.He can't shift here. He's trapped in this human body. The only relief is sleeping as his true self under the plastic sheets. But they know he's a beast masquerading as a man. His genetic wiring from so long ago demanded that he hunt and kill for the sake of man, and he did his damnedest to undo it all. Easterman has different plans though. Airin can feel himself slipping back. Becoming ruthless and calculating with no care for others' lives.He could fight back. He could escape here and reclaim his life, but he's Easterman's favorite child and that's a privilege he can't give up.
A PROMISE KEPT...
DC.
The Roman Empire perceives the adopted son of the infamous Carmine Falcone as the crime lord's flesh and blood. While Airin doesn't act as his right hand, he's one of Falcone's top intelligence agents due to his unique abilities– abilities Dr. Hugo Strange was keenly interested in in Airin's youth.In the prime years of Falcone's influence, Airin managed to topple several competitors and threats, but when Harvey Dent prosecuted Carmine Falcone, the crime lord told Airin to stay out of it. And he kept that promise. Airin kept his illegal activities on the down low and distanced himself from the crumbling empire his adoptive father built.Even after Falcone's death, Airin didn't involve himself in the Falcone siblings' attempts to rebuild their father's legacy– not like they see him as a sibling anyways. Instead, he keeps up with his intelligence work to the highest bidder but stays out of the limelight to avoid any vigilantes.
AIRIN THE FELLA...
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.
Airin is a biological product of GUN. His creation is two decades after Project Shadow, yet the facility he was housed in failed to keep him contained. They underestimated his intellect and, more so, his electrokinesis ability. Which aided in his secret escape.Airin doesn't seem to be aware of his oddness or how valuable he is as an asset. He travels the world, searching for companionship and belonging, yet he doesn't find that in Mobians. They're odd to him– unnatural to him despite wielding similar abilities in agility and his electrokinesis. Still, he'll tolerate them with his usual nonchalant attitude.MORE TO BE ADDED!
GHIRARIN...
LoZ. - @flamboycnt
To the world he's cruel and unforgiving, but to Airin, Ghirahim is his guiding light. Their bond sprung as little teases; dancing on the waters of uncertainty and desire. But their bond grew stronger, and the forces working against them aimed to bury the sword spirit further into submission.Ghirahim nearly lost his life, but Airin sees this new path on the run as a renewal. He can help Ghirahim find his true potential while searching for answers about himself... Maybe the hero can help them further by dismantling the bond his husband is tied to– or they could kill them all, either works.
LEGIONEM MORTIS...
AU - @asabxve
His brother has married the notorious Impeesa Mallow, and now Airin has found himself an uncle not only to the unruly Orion but also to his young niece Lyra. For the most part, he stays out of the nitty gritty of Mallow and Xavier's underground organization: Legionem Mortis. Instead, he prefers to stay on Earth; where he's always ready to lend a claw if his family needs him.
FORGOTTEN TRINKETS...
