Appearance

Physical Description

Lean, rather petite, boyish

Body Features

Arlin has been noticing a strange texture in some places on his body. The skin in those areas is more coarse, and dry. It has a slight blue hie to it

Facial Features

Arlin has light freckles, somewhat unkempt hair, depending on how rushed the morning was. He doesn't even have a stubble, coming from a family whose men can't grow beards despite his father trying.

Identifying Characteristics

Both or Arlin's ears are pierced, and he has a small birthmark on his right thigh, in the loose shape of a teardrop.

Physical quirks

Arlin has a skip in his step most of the time. Hard to put down, he will eagerly stare up at the wonders of the world. His gait is usually excited, and impulsive.

Apparel & Accessories

Lots of jewelled bits and bobbles adorn his hair, face, and neck. Nick knacks with no value, for the most part.

Specialized Equipment

Arlin is most often wearing his traveling clothes, consisting of a shirt and undershirt as well as riding greaves. His trusty messenger bag never leaves his side.

Special abilities

Arlin has been more and more often noticing strange magical happenings eminating from him, seemingly linked to lightning.

Mentality

Personal history

Born and raised by a family of craftsmen. Travelled most of the streets of Synthen during his young career as a salesman and appraiser for the family jewellery. Growing suspicious of the elder branches of his family, he agreed to work with a Boros investigator to unravel the ilegal dealings of the Penlyras.

Education

Received the formal education every son of a craftsmen received. Mostly learned on the job the various ways of the world.

Employment

Worked as an appraiser, negotiator, and salesman of jewels in Synthen and the neighbouring village from the age of 12 to the age of 20

Mental Trauma

Arlin carries a strange shame and guilt at the memory of his last night as a Penlyra.

Intellectual Characteristics

Struggled to keep up in some of the more advanced classes at crafter's school

Morality & Philosophy

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it will not kill me: The world is a beautiful, wonderful, strange place! Why wait for someone to tell you you are allowed to see it?

I am just a kid: I am definitely not cut out for the stuff adventurers do. It's far to dangerous for me. I'd get killed in an instant! Then again, it looks so fun...

Work is a game: Everything we do professionally we do better if we find fun in it. And besides, what is the worst that could happen?

A Hunter for a Hunter

by Arlin Storm

Mister Zij died today. We were celebrating another (relative) victory for the Haven in Beggar’s creek, and heading to the city of Merovund to tackle the undead threat there. It was a couple of nights into the journey when Mr Hobbes and I were woken up by the sound of mister Zij… Choking? Shaking? We weren’t sure what was happening or why, but he was clearly dying… Mr Hobbes and I tried everything. We used spells, healing magic, evocation to restart his heart, everything, but none of it worked. After even the twins entered the room, we watched as Mister Zij’s heart stopped, inexplicably…. Miss Esther found an arrowhead while looking for an explanation. On the arrowhead was inscribed a message:
“A hunter for a hunter for the duke of phantoms” Convinced that this duke was the cause of Zij’s strange death, Esther decided that this duke had earned a spot on her shit-list. We made sure to give mister Zij a proper burial- in the river, like he would have wanted. His bones will feed the riverbed, and nurture the currents that wash over it.
His death was… strange. We met him 20 odd days ago, barely enough time to understand who he was as a person but…. In that time, we fought undead together! We tracked down wizards! I feel like I had so much left to learn from him. That being said, if I knew one thing about Mr Zij, is that he was a sad man. I hope he and Nala are happy on the other side together. We’ll carry the torch of the haven in his honour.
