Arden
Name Meaning: "Great forest"; Also referring to being ardent and enthusiastic Race: 5/8 Ice 1/8 Shifter 1/8 Alk 1/8 Wind Gender: Male Significant Other: N/A Children: None Physical Description: Tall with a commanding aura. His self-confidence shows through in his posture
Personality: Arden is as bold as he is abrasive. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, no matter what others may think and seems to care very little in their opinions to begin with. His temper runs hot, often causing him to burst out with the first mean thing that comes to mind, which he ends up later regretting. His one weakness is his elder brother, Colm. As much as he likes riling the other boy up the moment his brother displays hurt feelings or anxiety Arden is right there by his side. He absolutely will not tolerate others slandering his family and isn't afraid to start a street fight to prove his point!
Interesting facts -is actually fairly well educated; just chooses not to show it -loves spicy foods! The hotter the better!
History
Arden is the second born in his family and spent his formative years travelling. From the day he was born he's claimed his place as the stubborn one in the family, regularly snapping back at his parents and any adult who tried to restrict his free will. He would often sneak away from camp, only to return with scraps and bruises, but despite it all the one person he would listen to - without fail - was his elder brother, Colm. The bond he has with the more reserved boy has remained strong throughout the years - despite a bit of strain in his adolescence - and even with the addition of two younger siblings Arden remains closer to Colm.

Class Choice - Sentinel
As a young boy Arden was exposed to a variety of cultures. His little family traveled across Tendaji – dipping through the jungles of Jauhar all the way to the tip of Matori – and as a result he was exposed to a great many things. Spices that could melt the soul, fish larger than any boat and flying creatures so massive they dominated the sky. Performers of all kinds would pass by his family and their caravan, enticing the young souls into giving up what little coin they had and delighting them in kind. It had been the most magical sort of life-
-until he’d been moved to Belrea. Maybe it was his own refusal to see it’s unique charms but life seemed to dull for Arden the moment they arrived. He’d grown harsher over the years – his temper rising at any little thing and snapping over the smallest inconvenience – but there had always been little things to keep him focused. Such as his side gigs on the airship docks and his training.
He’d fallen in love with swordplay the first time he saw his grandfather effortlessly wielding a blade and become utterly obsessed when he saw a group of swordsmen hold mock battles in Oba. It had been during a festival – one of many in honor of On’os – and Arden knew right there that’s what he wanted. Finding a sword in Belrea, however, was nearly impossible and sneaking one into the house was even worse. What he’d managed to get a hold of, however, were lengths of old pipes left out in the street to rot and it was there that he practiced his craft. Night after night, when everyone was asleep and his shifts were over, Arden went through the motions. First the footwork his grandfather had casually taught him as a boy, then the more practiced maneuvering of the Oban soldiers, and then some of his own.
Belrea had as much use for a sword as it did for him and that just made Arden more determined to learn. If he could strengthen himself then he could get away; leave it all behind and make a mark for himself. He just needed a sword – a proper one and not a pipe – so he saved. Saved and saved and worked and scrounged until the coin was in his hand. Tracking one down in Zenner had been difficult, nearly impossible at times, but after weeks of searching Arden had it.
It was far from glorious; an older blade, made in Tale from what the seller had said, but it was his. And he was one step closer to leaving it all behind.
