Details
Character Information "Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."
The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype alongside a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far-reaching consequences of his actions. Of course, this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end, I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways.

Non-Combat
Alchemy Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.
Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.
For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.
Combat
Aether Well Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.
Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics.
Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least as the man is able to take punishment and keep on trucking.

OOC Notes
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.
Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below.
