Standing at a height of 4'8 and weighing 97 pounds, Arin is on the small side to say the least. His black hair is usually very unkempt and a bit messy, spiking up in random directions. A few bangs hang down onto his forehead as well. His eyes are pure black in color. He also wears a yellow cape and a red shirt with a dark grey undershirt that has long sleeves extending all the way down his arms, but leaves his fingers exposed. A thin silver band is also wrapped around his upper arms. Arin also wears a pair of baggy reg pants, and has a teal cloth wrapped around his waist which is usually held in place by a brown belt. His boots are dark grey with a lighter grey trimming at the top, and the soles and tip of the boots are also the same lighter grey color.
Personality: Arin is usually outgoing, social, and energetic. He seems to never run out of energy and always tries to find the good in things. He's very optimistic and sometimes blunt about things. Arin is also a big risk taker, and never leaves a chance to get something beneficial behind. He follows his instincts and tends to come up with plans on the spot instead of carefully planning something out beforehand. He will commonly be one of the first to react to something, and enjoys being the center of attention and is overall a very social person. However, Arin may be a bit of a nuisance to others, namely adults who cannot tolerate his childish personality. His curiosity tends to get the better of him sometimes, and tends to get himself into trouble often. He's also not very good at keeping things tidy, which usually leaves his bag a mess and makes it hard for him to find things. But Arin will try and try again at something until he accomplishes his goal.
When it comes to combat, Arin usually avoids fist fights and all of that. He's very crafty and sometimes will make a makeshift weapon of sorts, such as a NERF gun with needles poked through its bullets or a wooden board with a nail poked through the top. Although he may sometimes back out of a fight when he feels threatened, Arin will stick by a friend in a fight no matter what. He will even put his own life at stake if it is required to protect a friend that is close to him. Even if you order him to leave, Arin most likely won't. He mainly relies on skill to fight instead of brute force. Overall, if you are able to tolerate his childish and curious personality, Arin will become a very loyal and young companion. His energetic and social personality may either make him more appealing or more annoying to another. Although he's rather irresponsible and not very good at planning things out, Arin will keep trying until he reaches his goals. He will protect his allies with everything he has, including his own life at times.
Some Background: Before calamity struck, Arin had lived with his parents as an only child in the suburbs. He lived quite a normal life. Arin did his chores, went to scoop, made friends, and was quite happy with his life. He tended to mess around with his friends, sometimes pulling pranks on them or with them, and eventually became pretty crafty with his ideas. His friends seemed to enjoy having him around as well. There is not much to say about Arin's early childhood- he was a face in the crowd. But one day when Arin and his buddies were all supposed to hang out, play video games, and maybe also watch a new movie, distaster struck around the world.
Arin really did not know what exactly happened that night. He want to head and was later awoke by his mother, who was in a panic. The first thing Arin noticed was that, well, just about everything outside in the distance was on fire and falling apart. The ground also rumbled every now and then, as if some beast below was rudely awoken from a nap. While he was panicking because the world seemed to be ending, Arin's parents had ordered him to run as far away as he could and to not come back. Of course, Arin refused at first because he did not want to leave his parents, but the sounds of their roof beginning to falter changed his mind and focused it onto getting out of there. Arin ran as far as he could, eventually stopping in a forest of sorts. He could see smoke rising from his hometown and he could hear the screams of who knows who.
Two years later, Arin had gotten over his losses and began to wander more, doing his best to stay alive- something he still cannot believe he's still doing. But Arin wants to do more than just survive. He wants to live. He's been tempting fate recently and began to wander much more, looking for adventure- and his story has only just begun.
Weapon(s) of Choice: Arin always carroes around a small pocketknife, but he also will create makeshift weapons out of useful things he finds from time to time.
