[Ronin]

General Information Race: Inarta Age: 18, 32nd Summer 492 AV Gender: Male Appearence- Height: 5' 11'' Weight: 155 lbs Ronin has pale skin and dark blue eyes, but his most noticable feature is his red hair with unusual black streaks through it. Though it is now cut in a mohawk, his hair usually lays about 5 inches long in an intentionally messy style. He is fairly tall for an Inarta but he has a slender build. Despite a few scars, he is a fairly atractive young man. Character Idea Personality: Ronin doesn't understand people very well. This causes him to withdraw from his peers usually. He is much closer with his birds, but, in Inarta society, this isn't terribly uncommon. However, he does realize his adversion to people and it is an issue he is working on. Ethics: Ronin is a fairly a-moral person, as he has no set code of ethics. But he does have a strong conscience, and has a hard time ignoring it. Likes: Birds, the Outdoors, and Solitude. Dislikes: The strict caste system of the Inarta, his father. Pre-Creation History Ronin was born to a Chiet woman who married an Avora to improve her quality of life, but when Ronin was five she died. Unwanted by his father, a tanner, he was forced out of the house to find his own way. Despite a rough childhood, Ronin used his nack for quick learning to advance above his peers. For this they usually hated him, and the more they turned away from him, the more he turned to the friendship of his pet birds. At the age of ten a glassworker took him on as an apprentice and Ronin did his best to impress him. Glassworking wasn't necessarily what Ronin wanted to do with him life, since Falconry and Hunting were his real passions, but the oprotunity to become an artisan was too much to pass up. In his spare time he would often go hunting with his only friend, Maisa. On one fateful adventure they found a prey far beyond their skill, a small group of Yukemen. Ronin escaped with his life, but the same could not be said for Maisa. The next day, Ronin returned to the place when the event had occured and found only one thing, Maisa's bow and quiver. Convinced she was dead he took these to remember her by and tried to move on, but it is something that haunts him still. Lores Worship of Priskil Creatures of Mt.
