Occupation
● Blacksmith: Freelance blacksmith, more like. He left his forge behind when he left home, but the skill remains and he makes what money he needs by crafting for whomever is willing to pay him. He's good at it too, so even as he wanders, he does have something resembling customer loyalty.
Hobbies
● Blacksmithing: As well as being his job, Einarr genuinely enjoys creating. He finds it beautiful in its own way and tries to make a point of only taking on jobs that he knows he'll have fun with, even once going so far as to learn how to make jewelry in order to outfit a new bride for her wedding. He has a sketchbook on him at any given time that's filled with his own designs which he'll happily share if you're willing to ask.
● Crocheting: He took up crochet as a way to keep his hands busy when unable to smith and found he really had a knack for it. It's not that different from chainmail, he thought, and he's pretty good at it. When in his downtime, he usually has a cute little creation in his hands that he'll end up either giving away to a random person or sending it back to his friends back home. They've learned that this is his way of letting them know he's okay.
● Cooking: Living mostly on the road has led to Einarr needing to take up more than a few useful skills. Cooking is one of them, and he started to like it the longer he gave himself time to work on it. It's another one of those skills that he can use for freelance work, but he usually likes to keep it to himself.
The Personal Things
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
Personality ● Einarr is a very sweet, if not a little simple, young dwarf. He always tries to see the bright side of things and prefers to remain optimistic even in the face of great danger. Because of his good attitude and open nature, he draws people to him very easily and has a lot of friends as a result. These connections are made very quickly and he's so genuine that they tend to last even when his attentions are misread and a rather adult interaction occurs, although he's not that picky when it comes to his love life and is always happy to share his bed with someone if only for the cuddles. He has great respect for life and love and will always encourage people to branch out and live their lives to the fullest. Despite not being very smart, his honesty and sincerity more than make up for his shortcomings. He's hardworking and kind, preferring to go through life with a smile on his face.

Strengths
● Strong as an Ox: He's a blacksmith, he has to be strong. He takes good care of his body and makes sure not to let himself lose any of his strength that he's built up by keeping up the practice that brought it in the first place. It also helps that he's a wanderer who needs to stay strong to protect himself.
● You're Never Fully-Dressed Without a Smile: Einarr is so incredibly optimistic that it's almost supernatural. He's basically a walking ray of sunshine. He's always got a bounce in his step and a song in his heart, even if he's not a great singer, and it's kind of inspiring to be around. He's like that party member who tosses out a rallying speech like one would toss a baseball. It's interesting to watch, actually.
● My Pants Are Flame-Free: He never lies. Ever. It's a well-known enough fact about him that people will trust him just moments after meeting him. It's another one of those things that just fascinating to watch. In a kingdom like Ishgar, it's almost required that you lie to survive, but Einarr refused to be pushed around and wouldn't lie even to get himself out of trouble.
Weaknesses
● Okay, So I'll Never Be Einstein: Calling Einarr a moron, while a little mean, wouldn't be exactly incorrect. He's pretty stupid. Guy's got no common sense and it's a little concerning how easy it is to convince him of anything. He can read and write but refuses to do any of it for any reason other than necessity.
● Okay, So I'll Never Be a Politician: He can't lie. Cannot. Not even a little one to make you feel better. Maybe it's his upbringing, maybe it's because he's just a terrible actor, but at least you'll always know you're getting the truth from him.
● Okay, So I'll Never Be Beyonce: Well, that's a little mean. True, but mean.

Biography
● Einarr's parents had already had three boys by the time he was born, but they welcomed their sweet child with just as much excitement. From his earliest childhood, there was just something special about the kid. He had a natural charisma that made people fall all over him even as a baby. His older brothers, rather than taking this as an excuse for siblings rivalry, decided to protect their trusting baby brother who would one hundred percent take candy from a stranger if offered. They remained close to home even after they grew old enough to marry and start their own families, keeping a watchful eye out for Einarr and teaching him what they knew about the family business as they did. Einarr wasn't a natural smith, but he worked very hard and eventually began to show improvement as time went on. The community referred to him as Wraithbane the Younger, a subtle dig to the fact that he wasn't quite as skilled a smith as his brothers were yet, but Einarr didn't let it faze him. He worked and learned and eventually was able to start taking on more important responsibilities in the family forge. Despite his father's reluctance, Einarr thrived in his new position at the family forge and developed his own small customer base within the first few years. However, there was something missing that he couldn't quite explain. He felt unfulfilled at home like he was missing out on something big and bright and wonderful. His mother understood exactly what he meant, as she'd dealt with the same at his age, and encouraged him to strike out into the world on his own and see the world before he no longer could.
With a pack of supplies and a grin on his face, Einarr stepped out into the world and began his journey to find fulfillment. It was on this trip that he finally realized his attraction towards both men and women was not quite the norm. He took some time to deal with this revelation before deciding to embrace it. At this time, he also earned the moniker the Wandering Dwarf, which he naturally adores. Who knows where he'll go or where he'll end up, but Einarr is insistent to have fun along the way.
