His snow white hair is cut in a roguish manner which accentuates his narrow, dark red eyes and the ever-present, albeit faint, smirk on his lips. Aside from the multiple piercings in each of his ears, he has no distinguishing physical marks on his body.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/>Kalin carries only two belt-pouches with him on a daily basis. One he uses for currency and other mundane objects, but the other holds a mixture of pulverized minerals which he uses in various ways with his magic. His weapons of choice are a pair of knuckle blades which he keeps sheathed on his arms, partially hidden by the cloth wraps he uses. (See this link for example: http://images.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/united/images/UC784a.jpg (http://images.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/united/images/UC784a.jpg))<br/><br/><strong>Bio:</strong><br/>Born to a middle-class family, Kalin did not have the luxuries some of the more powerful and wealthy families enjoy, but neither did he ever want for the necessities. Instead of being content with what he had, or desiring to gain more, he took another view of things and began early on to desire excitement. Having everything laid out predictably, from his own life to the lives around him, was so boring that he was sure he would die. Even his family’s ability to shape and partially transmute certain minerals couldn’t keep him entertained for long.<br/><br/>Just before turning twenty, Kalin found his chance for escape from the ordinary in the appearance of a group of Terraxian traders. He used every ounce of his ability to persuade, not to mention a fair bit of transmuted gold which was as likely as not to remain that way, to convince the traders to take him along to Dimat. He only made it as far as the border before they turned upon him in anger, having noticed that their gold had somehow been turned into apparently worthless rocks. Needless to say, Kalin was forced to flee from their overwhelming numbers.<br/><br/>It took him close to a month to reach the city by foot, and when he arrived, he found less than a warm welcome. Within the first week he was attacked no less than seven times, including twice by Fay who made it sound as though he were the one at fault for the fight when the guards arrived.  Kalin had never quite agreed with his people’s hatred for the Fay and the other weaker races, after all they did share the same ancestors, but causing mischief and trouble for them was another matter entirely. While he lacks the overt hostility of many of his race, he still maintains an attitude of reserved distance from others through an air of cool amusement.<br/><br/><strong>Misc.:</strong><br/>Kalin wears a mithril pendant around his neck which bears the crest of his family.<br/>Using the pouch of minerals he carries, Kalin is able to enlarge and somewhat reshape his blades, and even form small throwing spikes as well, though it takes a toll on his energy to do so more than on occasion.
