PERSONALITY
DESCRIPTION: Aerin is an idealistic man who has, unfortunately, none of the key skills necessary to survive in a place like Skyrim for someone so idealistic. His family's status and their opposition to the thieves guild for many, many years reared him to be just another member of his family with the same designs on seeing the thieves guild brought to its knees. Unfortunately, Aerin tends to be quite a mild individual deep down, and while he is smart and does have a capacity for rousing people to his cause, he's not quite bold and brawny enough to back up any of his words. Thus, his attempts to convince others proves quite insignificant most times. People also don't take him seriously because he's quite soft-handed due to the life he's lived - one where money was never hard to come by.
Personally, Aerin tends to keep primarily to himself and simply have a social face around Riften that he makes sure doesn't seem to be opposed to the thieves guild in any way, because he is certainly not a forceful enough individual to deal with the likes of Miss Black Briar over there or any of the leaders of the thieves guild. Actually, Aerin's only consistent friend, who helps him deal with the likes of the thieves guild, is Mjoll the Lioness, and he follows around behind the heels of her boots constantly. Aerin is extremely fond of her and all that she stands for and only finds interesting conversation with her most days. Plus, he likes that she watches his back against the thieves guild. Plus, he's a thirty-two year old only surviving heir of an influential family without a wife...
Morally, Aerin is quite an upstanding person, obviously if he plans to oppose the thieves guild so strongly for their actions instead of as a defense against his fortune. He's quite a white knight without the armor, really, because he's nowhere close to being able to fight Riften's corruption on his own accord. He tries to be something good for Riften, though, and no one can really fault him for it, even if his life of luxury has made him somewhat incapable of actually taking the fight to the thieves guild himself.
HISTORY
History: Aerin was born in Riften to a well-off family in the town, slated to inherit their fortune and never to do too much working or fighting in his life. And so his life was exactly like that, with him receiving an education at home and never having to do much aside from learn - how to manage money, how to manage the family's allies, and how to defend against the advances of the thieves guild. It would be a good thing that they taught him to do these things early. Though Aerin had an older sister whom he loved dearly, as they would perform various experiments on animals around Riften to the dismay of their parents, her form of these experiments turned into something horrible when it was revealed she was practicing necromancy in the family basement when she was twenty-one and Aerin was only fourteen. She was sent away from the family estate, never to return and assumed dead in a few years.
Aerin lived on without her, attempting to become a socialite as his parents wanted, but he missed his sister too much to simply move on, and several years were lost with him drinking and wondering if he, too, should not leave Riften in search of her and to find out what else the world offered. When he turned twenty and would have had his opportunity, able to ask his father for an early share of the inheritance, he had plans to leave. Those plans were negated when both of his parents died in a mysterious accident on a carriage ride to Whiterun. Aerin blamed the thieves guild, but there was no real evidence to accuse them and he was backed down by other influential families within Riften. Aerin was left as the only heir to the estate, and though he did not wish to, he took over the household.
He began fishing for some support against the thieves guild but found little to none even after he ceased his drinking habit and attempted to present himself respectably. Most of his days, still, were filled with him sleeping at home and then wandering either to the local tavern or the area surrounding Riften, looking for something to change in his life. A few attempts to woo the women of the town failed, as well. Years passed in much the same way, until one particular trip saw Aerin finding a woman badly injured outside of a dwarven ruin. Managing to barely get her back home, Aerin nursed her back to health, and in return, she agreed to help him in his crusade to fight back the thieves guild. The two have been inseparable ever since, with Aerin lending her a room in his house and trailing along behind her most days.
WEAPONS, ABILITIES AND MAGIC
WEAPON(S):
+Glass Dagger: The only weapon that Aerin carries at times is a fine glass dagger to keep himself protected from danger, but heck if he knows how to use it particularly well.
MAJOR SKILLS:
+Speech: If Aerin can do one thing, it's talk a lot and talk pretty well. He dabbles in Riften's political scene every now and then to try and make a push against the thieves guild, but once the thieves guild starts strong-arming him, he's forced to back down. Still, he's pretty convincing, friendly, and eloquent.
+Alchemy: Okay, Aerin can do two things. He's quite a skilled potion-maker, as he learned how to create them from his sister before the family figured out she was a loony necromancer who needed to be kicked out of the house as soon as possible. He's mostly focused on healing potions, because he hates getting hurt.
MAGIC: N/A
