Personal Information
Name: Susan Baker
Email Address: GossamerLily@aol.com
Character name: Arin
Gender: male
Occupation/rank: Blacksmith, Master
Birthdate: 193.06.17 (41 as of beginning of Turn 34)
Birthplace: Weaver Hall, Crescent Hold
Hair: dark brown, kept very short, has some grey
Eyes: brown
Build (height/weight): 6’5”
General appearance: Tall, broad shoulders, strong, can intimidate with the best of them, rough skin from working at the forge for decades. He tends to have a bland expression no matter what the topic but friends can tell from his eyes what he is feeling. When not working (or intimidating people who bother him unnecessarily) he gives off the impression of a gentle giant.
Sexual orientation: bi
Parents - Master of the Weaver Hall, Manis (dec) and his wife, Lania, master weaver
Siblings, Rmani, Master Tailor and Kailani, Master of the Weaver Hall
Firelizards: none
Personality: Gruff, to the point, rarely speaks when he doesn’t have to but pays attention to everything going on around him. He learned early to keep an eye on his environment and keep his thoughts to himself to avoid ridicule from his siblings. He takes a lot of time to warm up to someone but when he does he is a loyal and listening friend. He truly enjoys his craft and while he wasn’t thrilled to be sent to StarRise when it reopened, he has enjoyed the time he has spent there.
General history: Arin was the third child born to Master of the Weaver Hall, Manis, and his wife, Lania, also a master weaver. His elder brother and sister were considered very well suited to the weaver crafthall and learned the craft from their parents from the time they could walk. Rmani eventually specialized in the tailor aspect while Kailani became a master weaver. Arin, however, was gawky and quite clumsy and grew at a prolific rate. More than once, Manis eyed his wife and wondered exactly where Arin had come from. It was no comfort to the small boy when his mother eyed his father in the same manner.
When he was eight, Arin already showed the signs of his height (he was as tall as his admittedly short father) and his unsuitability towards the weaver craft and was sent to live with a cousin at the Smith Hall in Haven territory. This event, while it was quite traumatic for the boy at the time, turned out to be the best thing that ever happen to the child to date. The cousin, Sanix, was a blacksmith and he and his wife were happy to welcome to child as they had no son of their own. Arin took to the art of blacksmithing immediately and within the turn became an apprentice at the Smith Hall.
When he walked the tables to journeyman, he was assigned to work directly with Sanix as Arin showed a great talent as a weapon smith. He worked with Sabix for a turn before he was transferred to Kieres Hold in Crescent territory to work with a master blacksmith there who also had an affinity for weapon craft. When he was 26, Arin became a master smith and took over as the Master Smith for Kieres when his master retired.
Arin had many students as a senior journeyman and as a master. One of those decided he liked the post at Kieres Hold and used his political connections within the Hall to get Arin transferred to StarRise when the Weyr reopened. It didn’t really do him much good, however, as Arin pulled some strings of his own and had his current student installed as master smith at Kieres before Arin left.
