SECTION 2: ORIGINS
Canon: La'Rin (Original World)
Background on La'Rin: La'Rin (la-rune) is a planet that floats aimlessly in space. There is land and water, just like Sylvarant and Tethe'alla, but life cannot exist on the land because the atmosphere is too thin to support life. Instead, life exists beneath the sea, within a strong atmosphere created by the planets dieties (think of Summon Spirits and Centurions, only they're called Guardians and Sprites) to support life. There are several races on La'Rin including humans, elves, dwarves, were-creatures, wingfolk, ect. But, the most populated race are the La'Ri (la-ree), who are believed to be the direct decendants of the Guardians because of their immortality and slight control over the elements. Along with the La'Ri, there are the sacred creatures called Rin'Ians (rune-eons), which are said to be the offspring of the Sprites. There are eleven Guardians and Sprites that represent the eleven elements, and have temples.
Background on La'Ri: La'Ri are believed to be the direct desendants of the Guardians. Though that's not entirely true, they were given elemental control by the Guardians. La'Ri were the first race to exist on La'Rin, aside from the Rin'Ians. La'Ri immortality does not mean they live forever and can't be killed. It means they stop aging at a certain age passed seventeen. They can be killed and severely injured, but they outlive even the elves in lifespan if healthy. La'Ri can recover quickly from small wounds, but severe ones require additional aid. No one actually knows how old a La'Ri can get. Stones are made from the La'Ri's soul, and hold the La'Ri's immense magical power, making them desired in the other races. Much like exspheres, only the La'Ri's soul can control how much power is used and the La'Ri is fully aware of what is going on. So, technically, they really never die.
Background on Rin'Ians: Rin'Ians are created from the excess elemental energy given off by the Sprites, so they are the offspring of the sacred creatures. Rin'Ians can only be killed if they sustain injuries to the heart, or exposed to too much elemental energy that opposes their own. When they die, their energy condenses into a gem and the gem loses it's shine and shatters.

SECTION 4: PERSONAL DETAILS
Personality: Yuu is kind young man who would never abandon someone in need. He loves to help others however he can, but knows when to stop and let things be. Though he his kind and unselfish, he has the pride of a prince to uphold, despite the fact that he doesn't want the pride.
Fave Food Type: Likes to try new things, but he can't resist fruits.
Biography: As a child, Yuu was always fascinated by the Rin'Ians, which are the sacred creatures of his world. He studied them, and even befriended some of them. When he entered his adolesence, Yuu decided to leave his duties as the La'Ri prince and embark on a journey to tame the Rin'Ians. The journey took nine full years of non-stop travel and fighting to complete his quest, but he succeeded. He became known as the Great Rin'Ian Tamer, and he is the only one within the La'Ri race to tame the Rin'Ians to this very day. The title never meant much, though. All Yuu wanted was to study the Rin'Ians and become friends with each of them--and that is exactly what he did. But, his life on La'Rin grew boring since his return to the palace. This new world offers the chance of a new adventure, and Yuu is looking forward to it.
Other Notes: Yuu is talented with instruments, especially the violin. He can also call his Rin'Ians to him, though he'd never use them in battle. The Rin'Ians are stored in travel packs that he carries on him. They are able to condense their energy into small gems and return to normal at will. Yuu also has an equal attraction to both genders, the same as all La'Ri. It's a survival adaption.
