The Roaming Merchant ![]() Information Colin Oliver COMMON NAME: Colin Oliver NARI NAME: Tyrin RACE: Human - Inarta AGE: 17 - 41st day of WINTER, 494 AV GENDER: Male RESIDENCE: Wind Reach CASTE: Avora - Trader Appearance odd one out HEIGHT: 6’2” WEIGHT: 145 pounds EYE COLOR: bright blue BUILD: tall and lean HAIR COLOUR: currently dyed black; naturally a dark-copper colour HAIR STYLE: tousled, short-to-mid length COMPLEXION: pale ivory skin Colin stands out among the Inarta, partially due to genetics and partially due to his own choice. Colin has always been tall, standing a whole head above some of his fellow Inartans. He also lacks the more defined musculature of the Inartans, however this is merely because he has grown accustomed to a scant diet. Otherwise, Colin maintains the physical features of his race, especially with his striking blue eyes. Always doing what he wants, Colin constantly pushes the envelope and often breaks rules. This can be seen in his dyed hair and name change. This individualism also translates into his style of dress. Colin wears the usual black Bryda and Sontav along with two black silk scarves, one which wraps around his head and the other that hangs loosely around his neck. But other than this, Colin does not take to the fashion of his people. He wears a shortcoat version of the Katinu and refuses to wear any form of decorum, his body remains unpierced and his clothing remains simplistic. Personality it must be psychological Colin’s childhood has had many effects on his personality. The social system of the Inarta fostered his instinctive rebelliousness, bull-headed willfulness, and unstoppable curiousity. These traits do have obvious downsides. Colin remains fiercely individualistic, he refuses to listen to reason, and he has a seriously dulled sense of caution. Underneath these traits is Colin’s deep-seated insecurity. He is afraid of rejection, thus he maintains his independence and avoids being in one place or with one person for too long. He has been taught that emotional bonds, even those between parent and child, are often short-lived. This fuels Colin's fear that any emotional bonds he form will be shattered. However, this doesn’t mean that he is shy; in fact, Colin is very open about his sexuality. Colin is a pansexual. In a world with so many races, anything could turn him on. Qualities such as the colour of your eyes, your personality, the softness of your hair, the way you talk, ANYTHING could draw Colin towards you in search of a short physical fling. History Day 41 - WINTER - 494 AV Colin wasn't always called Colin. At birth, he was named Tyrin. A higher-caste Yasi, Tyrin displayed intelligence and capability at a young age. He was drafted as a glassmaker's apprentice, but quickly grew tired of the monotonous and submissive lifestyle. Tyrin found that the only time he enjoyed life was when he accompanied his master to the market. When it came to business, Tyrin had a natural sense of money, a strong sense of fairness, and an intense addiction to bartering and haggling. This was his calling. On his 15th birthday, Tyrin gathered some fine Inartan wares and left Wind Reach for Silera. He adopted the Common human name of Colin Oliver, dyed his hair black, and started his life as a trader between the two cities. Languages la dee da Nari - Fluent Common - Good Vani - Poor |
