Emil Sinclair - A Freshly Opened Membrane (Angst/Comfort AU Series #5)

Emil Sinclair is a young man with a fair complexion. He is 5’4, 22 years old, and Swiss-German. He has golden eyes and wavy, short blonde hair. His primary work attire consists of a plain white shirt tucked into a black waist belt and is accompanied by black suspenders, black suit pants, and a long Limbus Company coat. He wears a red necktie and attached to his left suspender strap is his ID. Sinclair has black gloves and wears black oxfords at his feet. In battle, Sinclair wields a long steel halberd named VOGEL.

More frequently known as just Sinclair, he is an anxious and self-conscious man with a blatantly empathetic nature. He was previously affiliated with the prosthetic-famous town of Calw, having lived and attended school there. Sinclair initially shows a passive personality, he often avoids confrontations whenever possible. Fear of uncertainty and is displayed as a timid. Introverted, and often has difficulty with accepting the violence and insolence of the world. Wishy-washy and overdependent.

He often doubts himself and externally monologues his uncertainty - occasionally reminiscing over what a certain someone would've done. Having grown up a sheltered life in District 11, he is still considerably innocent and naïve. Although he wishes to be a logical person, he is openly very emotional in some situations in an effort to protect himself.

Emil Sinclair was born to a wealthy family in Calw, a small town located in Nest K that was referred to as "The Holy Site of Nest K’s Prosthetic Industry". The majority of the town's residents had a love for prosthetics, and Sinclair's father owned a small prosthetics company. At some point, his father's company was able to secure a contract with P Corp. and ensured that the entire family would be able to get the latest full-body prosthetics, something that only Sinclair was not excited for. Before long, his father, mother, and sister had all undergone the procedure to replace their bodies with full prosthetics and Sinclair was the last one remaining. He felt isolated from his family because of this.

As this shift in his life was taking place, Sinclair one day found himself feeling left out of a conversation at school and, without thinking, shared the news of his father's contract with P Corp. that he had been told to keep secret. As the class cleared out, Kromer, a girl Sinclair had barely spoken to before, introduced herself, having noticed the brief flash of reluctance on Sinclair's face when he had told the class about how he would be getting prosthetics soon. She explained that she agreed with him and found the idea of prosthetics filthy, and quickly become his only confidant regarding the matter and a friend of his. Kromer took advantage of his fears and made a promise that she would spare him having to undergo the replacement procedure, so long as he would help her with a grudge of her own.

Not long after the friendship between Sinclair and Kromer formed, a transfer student named Demian caught Sinclair's eye. While the two did not immediately take in interest in each other, one day during a boring engineering class, Sinclair happened to glance out the window and notice a strange red symbol on Demian's forehead. From then on Demian would strike up friendly conversations with Sinclair and the two grew close. While Demian encouraged Sinclair to share more about himself, Sinclair was too ashamed to be so openly afraid of his upcoming prosthetics procedure in front of his new friend.

One day, Kromer approached Sinclair and asked him to show her the basement of his family's home. While at first he protested to the idea, knowing his parents would not approve of it, Kromer reminded him of her promise to him and pressured him into agreeing if he did not want to undergo the procedure. After stealing the key, he took her to his basement and followed after Kromer as she lead him through an air vent that lead all the way to an underground Lobotomy Corporation branch. There, they would catch sight of an Abnormality, which terrified Sinclair to the point he abandoned Kromer, who was enraptured by the gruesome sight, and fled back through the vent to his home. The next day Kromer thanked him for showing her something so "precious" and gifted him two coins, ordering him to always keep them on him. After this, Sinclair began to avoid Kromer, only managing to work up the courage to ask for the basement key back days later. Kromer laughed at this request, telling him that they no longer needed the key, but not to worry as she was going to pay him back by keeping her promise to him.

On Christmas Eve, Sinclair decided to confess to his family about having stolen the basement key and return to being a good son. Unfortunately this plan would never get to be acted on, as when he stepped into his home that night, he was greeted by the sight of Kromer and an armored man brutally murdering his family. Kromer smiled as she saw Sinclair, expressing her joy at the fact he would now live in constant terror because of her actions and taking one of the two coins she had gifted him not long ago. This massacre of his family had been her plan all along to fulfill her promise to him. Kromer ordered one of her subordinates to take Sinclair to safety and he lost his consciousness as he was taken away from his once safe home.

After a brief, cryptic meeting with Demian after this traumatic moment, he would be recruited with Limbus Company, where eventually, they would strike down Kromer with the help of Demian at the site of his burnt hometown.

Sinclair never really got over Kromer and especially her possessiveness, thus he is scared of bonding and being loved just to be used. Sinclair is afraid of being comfortable with anyone, usually rejecting affection, seeing it as a form of manipulation. Whistles are a trigger for his trauma, if he hears one, he will start crying and panicking.

He’s very VERY anxious, and stutters a lot. Sinclair is growing faint bits of blonde body hair that he tries to shave. Sinclair is very submissive and feels like he should please others before himself.
