ღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღ5 / 23 ღ Carminer received his art ღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღ5 / 06 ღ Carminer's quest is accepted!
Body Type ღ Carminer is slightly more overweight than the average earthling, with much of his weight settling on his stomach, thighs and around his cheeks. This gives him quite the jovial expression, as he constantly has on a wide grin that spreads from eye to eye.
Hair and Eyes ღ Carminer has a sandy blonde hair that has grown out to his shoulders. It is wavy and often in a mess, and he does little to tame it. Additionally, he has somewhat long side burns. His eyes are a stormy blue.
Clothing ღ Carminer is draped in clothing over his body, with pants that have a tight waist but loose fit. Basically, he chooses to be wrapped with loose and flowing clothing for ease of travel and for comfort.
Accessories ღ Carminer has a leather skin for drink hanging from a strap across his body, and one that he is constantly swiping a drink from. Additionally, he is donned in other travel accessories, making him notably a traveling nomad from appearance alone.
INTERESTS
ღ The Finer Things ღ Carminer loves to indulge, and indulge he will. He loves sweet foods, fine drinks, and beautiful women. Although he does not actively seek these things out, he is not one to turn them away and will do what he can to dazzle them and get their attention. He'd much rather avoid work in order to enjoy the finer things in life, and that is why he leaves much of the activities to his siblings in order to appreciate what is around him.
BACKGROUND
History ღ
Carminer is currently traveling with his siblings deep into the heart of Sauti, where the mountains begin to dip and meet the pools and the lakes of the southwest. When he was younger, he lived with his siblings and parents in the settlement of Tind, where they spent their days near the ponds that nourished the villagers and the capramels alike. Growing up, Carminer recalled many of his extended family members drifted away, his uncles and aunts moving to different parts of the world to make a place of their own. Even his grandfather, an old man well known for taking care of him when he became ill, left to explore the mountains he once called home.
Carminer lived a simple life, and was really content to spend his days in the small village with the rich foods and the beautiful ladies. He would avoid much of his work and chores, rushing away for the day to wander in the sun and find some company or lounge about. In his mind, having his siblings around meant he could get away with quite a bit, as they always were the responsible ones in the family. Eventually, he would grow bored or get caught and be dragged back to finish the day with his siblings. It was simple, but soon enough too simple for him and his siblings, and the mountains began to call to all of them.
When they were finally old enough to set out, the four siblings left their home and traveled north into the mountains where many of their extended family currently resided. They visited their cousins down in the lush settlement of Kesris, before moving north to Rayf and finally Coeld to meet with their hybrid cousins of the north. But still, they didn't find any sort of settlement that called to them. Carminer enjoyed the entire journey, and had quite the adventure meeting both his extended family and the additional company along the way.
Always, the group of four went back to the mountains, where they remembered the old man that would help them break a fever with the strong and sweet drink. It was a foolish search, but one they wanted to complete before it was too late. Now, together and determined, all four siblings are in the middle of Sauti and seeking some sign of their grandfather. They don't know what he will tell them, or why they even want to find him, but maybe once they see his face they will be ready to move past the borders and head some place new...together.
Carminer, content to follow his siblings and enjoy the journey, doesn't mind the hike at all, but wishes they'd slow down just a bit and let him catch his breath.
FAMILY
ღ Orivato ღ Carminer has a lot of respect for his elder brother, and some fond memories of the two of them growing up. Although they seem to be going in two entire different directions, they still find some things to share together. Carminer will always take the time to sit with his elder brother when his other siblings are resting, talking and enjoying the night, the company, and the conversation.
ღ Esticava ღ Being twins, the two grew up close together, and often competing. Carminer let Esticava take any and all spotlight, and still lets her do what she would like. As they are older, any frustration and anger has passed and now they are just two outgoing middle siblings who seem to get on well enough. (This character has yet to be claimed, and therefore her personality has not been fleshed enough for a full opinion to be formed).
ღ Chardae ღ Carminer loves his younger sibling, especially when he gets the chance to tease the smaller boy. The two have a very playful relationship, and despite the teasing and tricks, the two get along quite well. Chardae's playful nature really meshes with Carminer's jovial and irresponsible personality.
ღ Parents ღ Carminer's parents are still be in Tind, settled and working in the community. Considering that the family and extended family are nomads, they were not too surprised that he decided to leave with his siblings, but like any parents they seem to have been worried and thinking of their children. They expressed how happy they are that the four of them are together and are sticking close in the area and visiting the extended family while they can. This means family reunions, which is always a good thing. But, the fact that they have extended family all over the area means that his parents are pretty secure with them wandering around, as they have plenty of locations to rest and recover as needed! Carminer is happy that his family is happy, and does plan on going back home from time to time to visit them and keep in touch.
ღ Extended Family ღ Carminer has a large extended family, and has met most of them during his travels. Although he has no set opinion on them, family is family and he will always welcome them if they are to visit.

BASE TRAITS ღ Indulgent ღ Jovial ღ Irresponsible
Indulgent Carminer is by definition the middle child of the family, and grew up getting away with nearly everything. Basking in the shadow of his elder and younger siblings, he was content with running off an indulging in whatever caught his fancy. In the beginning, it would be his mother's attention. As he got older, it would be the sweet fruits and savory foods that his siblings left behind. Eventually, it would be the women and wines that he could get his hands on, as well as the parties and friends that he surrounded himself with. In his mind, everything should be appreciated, and he is the type of person that will appreciate it.
Jovial Carminer always seems to have a grin on his face and a laugh spilling from his lips. He is the light of the group, and a boisterous fellow. There is little he cannot find humor out of, and often he will look for a silver lining in any dreary situation. He dislikes upsetting and depressing company, and will do what he can to turn it around. If he can find ways to lighten people up with drinks and foods, he will, or he will do so with conversation and wit. Either way, he enjoys conversation and entertainment to keep his mind and his energy up around others. It is simply in his nature to do what he can to stay happy.
If there every is a rare time he is upset, he often will do so alone, and will become quiet and reserved. It is a rare and unique form for him to take and one that will most likely catch people off guard, as he often will not like to show others any form that is not happy or content. Only those he trusts the most will ever see him if he gets in a low and dark place, if that ever were to happen.
Irresponsible Carminer often leaves his responsibility to his siblings, unless of course he finds some sort of benefit for himself (someone will need to ensure the wine is of optimal quality!). He often can be found indulging in his own whims as his elder brother and twin take care of the tasks for the day. He has a mindset of appreciating the world around him, enjoying the fresh air and the good company, and it is a hard trait to break away from to take on the tasks of the daily chores. As he was growing up, often he would leave his chores for his siblings to take care of, much to their chagrin and frustration. Sometimes, he would return at the last minute to assist, but often he would be caught doing other things instead. Now that they are wandering, it is much easier for him to get away with doing nothing as he has nothing to do.
Someday, he may grow out of his irresponsible ways and take on some responsibility (especially if something takes on his fancy), but today, of course, will not be that day.
