Yun

Yun is the second seidkonur of the Loom, and the modern timeline counterpart of the half-breed Yun Milae. He is younger and more naïve, but he carries many of the same abilities and associations as Milae himself.
== Appearance ==
Yun is a very short young adult that looks to be in his twenties with a round face, very dark brown skin and messy, thick black hair. He has mixed hazel eyes, a round nose and usually wears a pair of narrow black glasses. Instead of having thick scarring on his arms and chest like Milae does, he has detailed black tattoos of Urðr's seal on his skin. He often dresses semi-formally in dress shirts, jeans or slacks, and his favorite navy blue sweatshirt. In the Golden Timeline, Juro traded one of his stories for an outfit to better help him fit in--a high-collared long-sleeved black shirt, a leather archer's breastplate, a dark green kimono embroidered with teal thread, a slim tan hakama, and a leather kasuki that doubles as a strap for both a single left-hand pauldron and a messenger bag. His build is rather thin and he tends to come across as eager, knowing, friendly, and a little mischievous.
== Personality ==
Yun is far newer to the game of seidr than Milae is, and thus he treats it with a lightheartedness and curiosity that Milae lost long ago. He focuses intensely on his work, which mostly involves research about the timelines and his own abilities, and his mysterious dreams and the gift of a laptop that can connect to more than just the internet guide him in learning about the multiverse. He fears the wrath of the Norns if he were to make a misstep, and so he errs with a bit of caution when traveling timelines, being especially careful about who he reveals his secrets to.
Perseverance and kindness incarnate, Yun has an ageless wonder and a starving curiosity for all things multiverse. He has the ability to jump timelines, which he uses to visit as many versions of his platonic soulmate Jin as possible, and assist these Bookkeepers with tracking the events of each timeline. Burdened with the task of being the Norns' true seidkonur, their chosen made to wield their power, he takes it in stride, overcoming his greatest challenge by killing and unwriting the goddess Frigga, to keep her from destroying him and rewriting history to her whims. He loves with his whole heart and attention, can occasionally be a bit too confident and cocky, and always yearns to help others.
Yun is demisexual and biromantic, similar to his half-breed self. He was dating Dario in the Modern Timeline, but broke it off after Frigga's defeat, coming to terms with the fact that Dario would never truly be able to share in Yun's bizarre, dangerous secret life.
=== Abilities ===
Yun used to have all the abilities and limitations of Milae, with the additional restriction of being unable to visit universes that take place too closely to the Golden Timeline. But since Milae broke his seal, his powers transferred to Yun, and this enables Yun almost limitless access to any of the timelines, including those that Milae had already severed himself from by dying.
Along with the typical abilities granted with the seal of Urðr, Yun also has several ways of channeling energy, along with the ability to wield Milae's original naginata Endurreisn, as it now exists in a questionable space between timelines. The expressions of such energy usually revolve around defensive barriers and either cones, lines, or auras of force, either causing suspension of matter or forceful repulsion. He can also more easily visualize the astral threads of time and manipulate them. Being at the height of this power is called "elevating." Channeling this much power usually consumes nearly all of Yun's energy, and he typically is either very weak or unconscious afterward.
== History ==
Yun originally existed as another mundane copy of Milae in the timelines, just like every other soul in the Golden Timeline. When Milae made his choice to accept Skuld's blessing, Skuld systematically went through every timeline and destroyed Milae's counterparts in order to channel as much of Milae's essence into himself as possible. However, Urðr grew jealous, and she saved the single form of Milae that was furthest from the Golden Timeline--a fairly unassuming young man. When the time was right, she reconstructed him from nonbeing, with her seal already given to him, and informed him of the basics of his powers. He had no memories from his previous life, and he never existed to the people around him, leaving him plenty of room to build his own story, and interact with a small spectrum of the timelines that were similar to his own. 
== Role in the Rebellion ==
Yun's story crosses between multiple timelines, as Milae's does; however, his story happens entirely during the events of Battle of the Grounded Dungeon 2, and will all be categorized as such.
=== BOTGD 2 ===
==== Pariah's Revelation ====
Yun's first introduction to the story happens when the Pariah, who Milae had used to make a contract with Rhenco, had returned to her proper timeline when Nala broke that contract, and consequently, the being that got punished was the Pariah, who took the full brunt of the universal punishment from doing so. The Pariah has the unique ability to mimic markings. When she possessed Milae, she mimicked the seal of Urdr that Milae had, and he unintentionally gave her the power to travel time. But before she could figure that out, she got injured by the contract being broken. She tried to leave her timeline, but she messed up enough that it pushed her into limbo, and she has been drifting around timelines, out of control, still very broken and unable to communicate from the toll the contract took on her. She managed to get in contact with the modern timeline, got to the Bookkeeper Juro Jin's notebook computer, which acted as his Library, and upload her own entry. Jin worries about this breaking the rules of the Library, and Yun also tracks this signal through his innate connection to seidr, and sends Jin an impossible message asking to meet up in the college campus library, and after some suspicion on Jin's end, they work together to figure out that this is someone trying to get in contact with Milae specifically.

=== Juro Jin ===
Yun started out as an incredibly suspicious person to Jin. Living in the modern timeline usually excluded anyone from knowledge about the Bookkeepers, so right from the start, Yun let Jin know that he was aware of the timelines, and Jin's role in contributing to the Library. From there, their relationship developed quickly from amicable coworker to extremely close friend. Their platonic bond is incredibly strong. Yun holds a starry-eyed admiration for Jin, frequently visiting him to the point where the rest of the Alpha team regards Yun as an honorary agent. He seeks out Jin for company, guidance, and comfort, both physical and emotional, and Jin enjoys the times he drops by, as the Bookkeeper feels as though he can be more relaxed and honest around him. It tore Yun apart to have to leave him behind while he stayed in the Golden Timeline for safety, let alone knowing that encouraging affection from Juro could be the end of every other Bookkeeper in the multiverse. Their reunion was intensely heartfelt and tender. The two of them have and would continue to risk life and limb for each other in a heartbeat.
Because of his initial affinity for Jin, Yun gravitates towards Bookkeepers of any timeline, determined to make friends with as many as possible. This sometimes makes Jin, who regards Yun as his own bonded seidkonur, a bit jealous and possessive, though he's mostly satisfied knowing that Yun openly regards Jin as home.
===Yun Milae===
Yun and Milae have a parental, mentor/student relationship, despite being two halves of the same coin. Milae recognizes the same bright youth and curiosity in Yun that he himself used to hold, in his early days, and Yun, having no familial relationships other than Jin, fervently looks up to Milae and does everything possible to follow in his footsteps.
===Jin Juro===
Yun shares a cautious friendship with Juro. The original Bookkeeper risked everything to save Yun from the belly of the Construct, and Yun was delighted to see and speak with him later, but after doing so, he learned that he should be more careful in swaying Juro from neutrality, else he would risk Jin's life. But he still treats him to as close as a confidant as possible. 
=== Jaejin ===
=== Koto-chan ===
Koto is no exception to Yun's affection, as gruff and annoyed by the seidkonur's presence as he might be. Since this version of Juro prides himself on his hard work in the Library and in doing his duty as a Bookkeeper, he holds Yun in extreme distaste for how he has affected Juro and Jin in their own responsibilities. But Yun is determined to win him over in a combination of over-helpfulness and positive attention. Koto grows a soft but hidden affection for Yun over time. 
=== Ren and Jin ===
Upon entry to the Binate Worlds, Yun accidentally passed through the magical thread that intertwines with this timeline, and made it appear as though he were a demon passing through to the mundane world. The Rebels nearly attacked him, but the twin forms of the singular Bookkeeper soul rushed out to protect him, recognizing him from other Library entries. When Yun first meets them, they are much younger than him, and for the first time, they hero-worshipped Yun, instead of the other way around. Yun is flustered and flattered by the affection, and adores the twins and tries to protect them as much as he can while he learns about the anomaly of a timeline he has stepped into. 
=== Ren ===
This monstrous version of Jin that Yun comes across in one of the modern elliptical threads is obsessed with Yun, and is hellbent on keeping Yun at his side no matter what. This eventually escalates into Ren murdering Nala, which immediately alerts Yun to the fact that there is more to him than meets the eye. When Yun refuses to be friendly with Ren any longer, Ren decides that he must kill Yun to keep anyone else from having him. Yun is starkly terrified of Ren, and does not hold back in using his Norn-gifted power to escape and keep himself alive. Due to his extremely close relationship with Jin, Yun has to do his best to mentally separate the two in order to be able to harm Ren. 
=== Jurojin ===
As the Bookkeeper of the wasted timeline, Jurojin was a fascinating character that Yun was excited to visit. However, Yun was more amused to find how seriously Jurojin took himself, to the point of absurdity. Yun humors Jurojin, who takes protecting Yun from hungry demons very seriously.

== Trivia ==
* Yun uses Milae's first name as his last when he needs to, i.e. for employment at Helheim Co.
* Yun was not originally meant to make it to the Golden Timeline. He was supposed to die at Skuld's hands while protecting Milae, and then sacrifice his power to the goat so that he carried the bulk of their seidr instead.
* Yun's signature instrument is an erhu, a Chinese two-stringed violin, and other sounds that also represent him thematically are the koto, the violin, and the cello, meant to mimic Yun's usage of threads.
* Yun also has asthma like Milae, but his case is less severe due to being treated by modern medicine.
* Since he travels timelines but does not carry the curse of true immortality, he instead ages very slowly and will cap out at his prime, to keep him from getting old too quickly.
