## Names, Titles, and Affiliations

Austin Dah’Rhin of the Roads of Tranera Tier, named by a care taker, later called the ‘Striking Shadow’, never nicknamed, chose the rare option of losing his name at adulthood so he had none between

## Relationships

Born the seventh month of 15,891 AT in ‘The Roads’, a rough district on the east border of the Board, pure Al’terrian of a long distance messenger father and a land manager mother, met at a Dance (as many couples do), has many half siblings, did not know any of his family. He acts like an arrogant only child.

Paternal grandparents: Charles♂ - Taz♀

Maternal grandparents: Llarm♂ - E’livia♀

Parentage: William♂ - Fen♀

Didn’t strictly have childhood friends, just a lot of friends to fight with and fight they did and enjoyed it, was neither success nor failure at school, influenced by the fighting and brutality of the care takers, has no problems with sexual things though he doesn’t participate right away, holds no regrets for all the bad he’s done, never had a best friend, just a best brawl partner Jost, never falls in love but discovers lust seeing Kite, Nikki, and roughly Olivia. Nikki becomes his rival because she spurned him completely. It’s part of his last part of the story.

## Education and Vocation

Took his schooling at Tranera Tier where he was a decent student, but cared more about and around, took weapons training in second Tier and didn’t care much for anything else besides the training, received a full education of killing and weapons when he returned to Tantus, very focused, no need to be literate.

As a child, worked as an aide to a government office running paperwork around, could have made money if people bet on fights, wanted to join some kind of military or fighting cult, works in the factories and is bought where he is guaranteed Pride work where he becomes the best assassin they’ve ever trained who pulls off several mission before taking a dumb risk by taking out Nikki who rejected him. Ignored by the Privileged law for careful reasons.

## Location

Spends his childhood and work in The Roads, then in the factories, upon his return spent a lot of time under the guidance of the Pride and Privileged in the eastern districts of Kigana in becoming an assassin. He travelled as far as Nolvac for a few of his missions. Had residence in the Pride Conte Moon but rarely went there, died on a mountain side unmourned.

## Spirituality

Doesn’t believe in any religion at all, goes the way of the Pride and doesn’t think there’s anything out there and you must make your own way to get anywhere: no life after death.

## Magic

Has the Power of Animation, which is one of the things that made him such a great assassin, gets fairly good at it, likes the Pride magic and would take it up if he could
