Marrin

[Marrin]

Marrin Appearance Race: Human, Mixed Caste: Avora Gender: Male Age: 19 Birthday: 45th Day of Winter, 494 AV Birthplace: Wind Reach, Kalea Region Appearance: Marrin is a tight package of lean muscle, missing much of the bulk that comes with lifting and dragging dead animals. He has the build of a runner with sharp, birdlike features and almost no body fat to speak of. His hair is blonde, a sign of his non-Inarta heritage, and his eyes are as light blue as a clear sky. He has long, wide scars on his left arm from times when he was practicing archery at an early age, constantly skinning his forearm with the bow string. While indoors he prefers to go about bare chested, showing off any number of small scars from hunting trips. However, when outside of Wind Reach he takes great care to bundle up in furs and leathers, as the altitude can make the air far cooler without a volcano to heat it. Character Concept Personality: Marrin is proud of his caste, and not the most modest of people. He's quite sure in his abilities and tends to overestimate himself and show off when people are watching. However, he does truly care about the Inarta and the Wind Eagles, and does what he can to help his people. He gets nervous around beautiful women and is rather easily seduced by their charms. Ethics: Wind Reach comes first and foremost in any situation. He is but a part of a greater whole, and must do what he can for the benefit of the community. The caste system is highly important and those of other castes should be treated according to their relationship to yours (higher castes treated with respect, lower castes bullied, etc.). Likes: Hunting, alone time, archery, showing off, drinking, experiential learning. Dislikes: Inaction or lack of activity, boring people, losing in a challenge, book learning. Character History The firstborn son of a chiet barmaid who got a bit too friendly with a traveling Svefra bard (and a number of other travelers), Marrin never knew his father and likely never will. However, it is known that his father was not Inarta, for his hair is the color of gold rather than flames. In all other respects he is Inarta, from the blue eyes to the birdlike features. Marrin showed early promise in hunting during his yasi years, and was apprenticed into the hunting trade at the young age of 11. He took to the hunting trade quickly, and though he was not the best at his age he was known to be the most diverse. A Jack of All Trades when it came to hunting in the Unforgiving, Marrin made his way into the ranks of the Avora. Since being released from his apprenticeship only at the end of Summer, he has had little time to go on lone hunts, though looks forward to finally being an independent hunter for the good of Wind Reach.

Its covers are made from a mysterious glazed and stained bark which seems flexible as if they were strips held together by tiny chain links. The pages are treated Telderan Birch paper, made from the bark of Talderan Birch trees. Despite their origins the pages are quite sturdy and easy to write on. 1 Rucksack -Comb (Bone) -Brush (Bone) -Soap -Razor -1 eating knife -Flint & Steel -Inkpot -Quill Quiver -Game Arrows (20) -Shortbow Arrows (20) Dagger Sheath -Ear Dagger 7 Pinions Heirloom: Yew Shortbow with Ornate Wind Eagle Carvings Heirloom : Housing Location: Wind Reach, Kalea House: Darniva Commonroom : A relatively small and modest home, Marrin's portion of the Commonrooms is well lit by lanterns than hang overhead.

Further in there's a dressing area with a tiled floor, and small alcoves line the walls for storing materials.
