Ay'rees was found inside a barrel of rum on a pirate ship as a small, young boy. He was taken in by the captain of the ship, a middle aged lalafel. Starting as a lookout for the ship, and getting the nickname Sunspot because some mornings he would be seen before the sun or eclipsing the sun as he used the crow's nest. He was a great climber so the highest part of the ship became a safe spot for him as he looked out for everyone.A few years later, the excitable, loud miqo'te was settled into the ship and happily living with his adopted mother, the lalafel Lalana Lana. The happiness lasted a few more years until he was almost an adult. He woke up in the middle of the night to a horrible storm that was throwing the ship around. The ship eventually crashed into some rocks and broke, sending the crew into the water. The next thing he knew, Ay'rees, dazed and confused, was waking up in Horizon, recovering from a head injury. He didn't remember much of anything other than the silhouette of a lalafel and the salty air and his name. A name given to him by someone who had only heard of miqo'tes so she tried her best to give him a good name.A month after he woke up in Horizon, Ay'rees felt his memories start to resurface. When he remembered his life with his adopted mother, sadness filled the miqo'te and he looked down at his hands. He had to find Lalana. His sadness shifted to action and he began searching for the lalafel. He started at the waters near where he was found, asking around Vesper Bay and Horizon to see if they had seen her. No one he spoke to had seen the captain and he was starting to struggle with keeping hope.That was when he remembered a story about creatures of death seeking out powerful people. Ay'rees went around Vesper Bay, looking for anyone who knew more about these creatures. He learned they were called voidsent and started looking for ways to summon one. At the same time, he used his knowledge of fighting from being on the pirate ship to teach himself to become stronger in an attempt to lure a voidsent out to him. The attempt to get stronger ended up attracting a voidsent that came to devour his aether.The encounter with the voidsent left Ay'rees with only a portion of his aether left and he managed to fight the voidsent off. It left him with a chronic fatigue problem because his total amount of aether was smaller than most. He got tired easier than most and using magic was difficult for him but not impossible. As well, teleporting was difficult, leaving him exhausted so he could only teleport twice a day. Because of this chronic fatigue, he uses a cane to keep himself steady when he gets hit with dizzy spells.

After the ship was destroyed and he left Ul'dah, Ay'rees was left alone, homeless, and without any gil to his name. He knew he needed gil to survive, especially in Thanalan, a heavily capitalistic region. Because he didn't know how to best earn gil because he didn't have many skills, he was easily cornered and convinced to join the sex trade before he was a legal adult.The miqo'te was cornered in the Ul'dahn markets while begging for gil for food by a large hyur who showed him a way he could make lots of gil with just his assets. The hyur soon started pimping the young man off, even making a fake ID for him to pretend he was of age. Because of his naiveté and lack of experience, Ay'rees didn't realize how horrible some of the things he was made to do were. His pimp was paid premium for providing a young virgin and started to provide Ay'rees with stimulants to help him pretend to be a virgin for as long as he could.Whoring himself out began to take a toll on the young man's mental health. He began thinking his only worth was in his physical attractiveness and became a very flirty, horny person, addicted to hardcore sex. As well as that, barely any kinks fazed him anymore and he started telling his partners to do anything they wanted to him. He would do anything for money, the number of boundaries he had slowly vanishing until, at the present, he had only two. Don't make him eat shit and don't kill him.As an adult, the miqo'te started working at as many jobs as he could have without becoming too burnt out. This included a brothel, a gay bar and a fight club. It was at said fight club where he made a dangerous enemy in someone he won in a fight against. He was challenged to a fight to the death by said man outside of work and just barely made it out alive because he was saved by a third party. Someone who, unbeknownst to him, was a part of a dangerous clan.Ay'rees became a slave in said clan, willingly giving himself to them because of how lost and aimlessAfter escaping the clan due to dangers to the people he loved, Ay'rees fled the continent of Eorzea with said loved ones where he formed bonds he hadn't expected. Most of all was The man who had tried but failed to kill him, Lericho, who became a father figure in his life as well as a mentor.

❝Lericho Califerrum 's someone I love so much. He's basically my dad. Hells, I call 'im Dad. He was my first friend, the first person ta matter ta me 'n' that makes him extra special. He makes me pissed off sometimes but that's just part o' bein' so close ta someone, I think."❝Orius Xolru... is someone I got an interesting relationship with. We love each other, or at least I love 'im. I consider him brothers in arms since we both love Arawen 'n' want her to stay safe. I can got ta him if I need advice or just someone ta be with. I like him."❝Kreios Adran is sort of like a mentor or strange uncle to Ay'rees. Orius' fiancé, he's often around the miqo'te but the nature of their relationship is hard to describe. Maybe it's just how gruff Kreios can be but Ay'rees wonders how much he actually likes him. Either way, Ay'rees values their time together and sees him as a wise mentor and friend.

❝Vigolfr "Vigo" Vestmoar is Lericho's partner and Ay'rees' mother figure (despite not being female). Someone who is quiet but very friendly and caring. Not always successful, they are always trying to be there for Ay'rees and help him through times of hardship.❝Kishin is someone Ay'rees has a complicated relationship with, at least from his perspective. Their first meeting was a mix of emotions ending in Ay'rees developing a phobia which led to him having cautious and fearful respect for them. The two have made up and are working on their relationship, trying to make it parental because Kishin is Lericho's other partner but Ay'rees is not fast to forget their first meeting.

❝Arawen Califerrum has become Ay'rees' little sister in the adopted family he has with Lericho. She is a blooming, growing young woman with a strong skill for celestial magic. Being both students of Lericho and around the same age, they have a strong sibling relationship and Ay'rees cares a lot about her, giving her a Starlight gift recently to give her a part of him to hold when they aren't together.❝Sylvanius is someone very special to Ay'rees. How? If you asked Orius, he would say he was in love with the man. If you asked Ay'rees himself, he would say they were beloved friends. Ay'rees admires Sylvanius, seeing him as a guardian angel. He has feelings of love for him but would never act on it. To him, Sylvanius was way out of his league.❝Yugao Senju is Ay'rees' adopted mother/mother figure. She's strong and dependable like a rock and is someone Ay'rees knows he can always go to if he needs. Despite not being very close physically, she won't stop being important to him any time soon.
