Craft Strengths: Rothin can make a sight shield that is strong enough to block out not only the sight but also the smell of a person. The only drawback is that it drains his jewel faster than a regular sight shield. Rothin can also spell his arrows so that he can track them using a thread of power. He can track up to three arrows at a time. Rothin can also use craft to move across the ground without leaving any tracks, this includes snow.
Optional. Required for Dual/Triple Castes and BR Green+.

Craft Weaknesses: Rothin has a hard time with delicate use of craft. He can do it, but it takes more concentration than the normal person would need. Optional. Required for Dual/Triple Castes and BR Green+.

Description
Physical Description: Rothin is a tall man standing 6’2” tall with a medium athletic build. Like other Glacians Rothin has pale skin, but unlike most glacians instead of the typical blond hair he has light brown hair that he gets from his mother. It’s cut to a medium length that is pushed back up away from his face. He has piercing blue eyes below a pair of thin eyebrows. Rothin has a medium sized hawkish nose. He arms are solid with muscle and he has a pair of strong hands. Most of his height is in his legs that are powerfully built from years of hiking and traveling through the snowy forests of Glacia.

Rothin usually wears simple hunter’s garb consisting of a white cotton shirt with brown leather pants and a brown wool tunic over it. On his wrists are a pair of black leather bracers and around his waist is a black belt with a longsword on his left side. He has a pair of brown boots. Over top of this Rothin wears a long bleached white fur poncho with a hood that he can use as natural camouflage. Slung across Rothin’s shoulder is a quiver that is always filled with arrows.

Should be at least 200 words in length and can cover anything from face, skin, clothing preferences, hair, jewelry, physical demeanor, etc.

Personality: Rothin’s passion is that of protecting the natural beauty that Glacia has. He enjoys being outside in the farthest reaches where there is extremely little civilization. He takes pride in his knowledge of the land and the animals within it. Rothin has a deep respect for the animals and the laws of nature. He believes in balance and that hunting is natural, but he is vicious with poachers. Although Rothin has never met a kindred personally he knows they are out in the Glacian wild and he treats any predators he comes across with the respect he would treat a fellow Brother. He tries to avoid predators and will often use his special sight and smell shield to let the predator pass him by before he moves on. Rothin prefers the solitude of the outdoors to being around other people. He has rough manners around other people and like an arrow shot from the bow he will go right to the heart of the matter. Rothin believes in telling the truth and he would rather be silent than utter something that was untrue. Rothin can be very stubborn especially when it comes to protecting the land and he is very resistant to giving up forested land to make room for argiculture. He hopes that one day a kindred will find him worthy enough to be his partner, but he know only the most special of people get graced with one. Should be at least 200 words in length and can cover any aspect of the personality including fears, flaws, hopes, dreams, attitude towards people, etc.

Likes: Nature, animals, being outdoors, teaching others to respect nature, hunting, and protecting nature. At least 5

Dislikes: Poachers, those disrespectful of nature, those that enjoy hurting animals, being confined indoors, seeing nature destroyed. At least 5

History Rothin is the eldest of two children born to Emilia and Issac Duras. Emilia is a game warden for the northern most territory of Glacia, she like her father before her and his grandmother before him stretching as far back as anyone can remember have been the game wardens for their part of the territory which was a rather large part of unsettled territory. Issac was a warlord who ran a bakery at the northernmost village in Glacia. They had been childhood friends, but their lives separated as Emilia spent more time out in the forest and Issac spent more time in his family’s bakery. However every time that Emilia came to town she would see Issac and he would make her some special pasteries. This eventually turned into having dinner together and from there become spending the night together before Emelia would disappear into the forest for months at a time.

Rothin was born in the coldest night of the year in a small snow cave. His first breath of air was freezing and his cries shattered the night. Traveling through rough terrain Emilia got herself to the town’s healer and the next morning Issac found out that he was a father. A couple of weeks later Emilia and Issac were married in a small ceremony in the woods by a Priestess. Emilia stayed in the town until Rothin was 3 years old and then she went back to staying mostly in the forest. Rothin missed her, but he loved the outdoors as much as she did and would give Issac and his parents fits about staying clean. Rothin had plenty of female influence as his father’s younger two sisters, Isabella and Loisa, loved to watch Rothin and treat him like the leader brother they never had.

When Rothin was 7 his mother was pregnant again and stayed home this time and had a girl that was named Anisia. She was there for his birthrite ceremony and formally announced paternity to Issac. Again she stayed for three years and left to go back to the forest. This time Rothin went with her to learn about the forest and the animals in the forest. It was during this time that Rothin learned and refined all of his woodland skills. He also learned what it was like to live with a woman and when to give his mother the space she wanted and when to dig his heels into the ground. He was always glad to see his father and sister when he and his mother came into town.

Rothin spent much of his teenage years in the forest with his mother although one year he and his sister switched places. He was 17 and she was 10 when Anisia got it into her head that she wanted to go in the forest with her mother. Rothin was angry that he was being, but seeing how happy his father was to have Rothin around he got over it fast.

During that year Rothin worked in his father’s family bakery. He did his best, but he didn’t have the passion or flair for baking that his father and the rest of the family on his father’s side in. Rothin missed the trees and being outdoors. The bakery was too hot and often times Rothin would stand at the bakery’s back door just breathing in the cold air.

Rothin did learn a lot about his father. He was at an age where he was proud of his cock and the pretty girls that came by the bakery found him mysterious and wanted to hear tales about his adventures. He was able to get a couple of older girls who remember who he was from when he lived in the village to show him the way around the bedroom or more accurately the hayloft. Rothin tempted fate when he invited a girl into the backroom when he was left in charge of the bakery and his father caught them.

Rothin and Issac had a long talk that night and there was some shouting. It was the biggest fight the two had ever had. Rothin’s blood was hot and he accused his father of being cold and unfeeling and that his father was jealous that the pretty girls preferred him over Issac. Rothin had never seen his father so angry that he could have sworn the room dropped to the temperature outside.

Issac told his son that he would never been with another woman and has never been with another woman. That night Rothin learned was true love was as Issac explained how no matter how cold the nights got without Emilia they didn’t compared to the nights that she was there. Issac knew that if he tried to keep Emilia in town she wouldn’t have been happy and Issac wouldn’t have been happy. Each time Issac saw Emilia it was like the first time he was her as a woman. Rothin and Issac came to understand each other that night, Issac knew that Rothin’s blood ran hot, but which was more important a few moments of pleasure or being able to go back out into the forest at the end of the year. Issac made it crystal clear that Rothin would take responsibility for any children that came from Rothin’s lust. So the next time one of the single women of the village came by Rothin put it firm in his mind of what he might be giving up. He was a little shocked at how his polite refusal to carry home the baked goods, which didn’t need to be carried home, was easily brushed off.

At the end of the year with his father Rothin felt more like a man when he headed back out in the woods with his mother. He loved the forest and the outdoors, but the year with his father would always stick out in his mind, not for the women, but for what he learned about himself and his father.

Rothin spent the next several years coming into his own in the forest and spending more time by himself. His mother gave him his own territory to patrol and take care of and he would report to her about the activities that went on in there.

Give us a good story about your character’s history. It should be at least 600 words long. Please do not skip large chunks of time without any reference. If they simply worked for a number of years, just tell us that. Your stories should reflect your character’s personality.

Family:

Mother: Emilia Duras, witch, rose to summer sky, adoptable

Father: Issac Duras, warlord, yellow to rose, adoptable

Sister: Anisia Duras, witch, tiger eye, adoptable

RP Sample:
Rothin had been tracking a large buck all morning. He had found fresh tracks this morning after last night’s snow fall. He had caught a couple glimpses of the buck far ahead that let him know he was on the right trail. Each time he saw the buck he was getting closer and closer to it. Now the buck had stopped to graze at some tree bark. Rothin had moved to downwind of the buck and he had an arrow ready to fire.

Just as Rothin was drawing back to fire a flurry of white fur hit the buck and the white was splashed with red. Rothin had heard stories of these animals the Arcerian Cats. He couldn’t tell if this one was a kindred or not, but he lowered his bow and put away his arrow.

Rothin wasn’t about to right over the buck as he wrapped a sight and scent shield around himself before he withdrew. He was disappointed to lose the deer, but how many could say that they have seen an Arcerian Cat kill and walked away from it. He counted himself lucky.
