Arin

**Arin** is a self-taught Spinjitzu prodigy, the creator of Object Spinjitzu, and one of Lloyd's ninja students. He is the first known person to teach himself Spinjitzu without a master. He used to live in a neighbourhood in Ninjago City, until the Merge caused his parents and region to dissappear. Multiple years after the Merge, Arin and his best friend Sora became students of the Green Ninja Lloyd after saving a dragon called Riyu. With the help of the other original ninja, Arin helped to free most of the dragons from Imperium. He and Lloyd searched for the Pink Dragon Core and helped to stabilize the Merged Realms during the MergeQuake Storm, where he saw his parents through a rift.

## History

Arin grew up in a small neighborhood with his parents in Ninjago City, where he became a fan of the ninja. When he was practicing ninja moves with a broom, a strange earthquake happened as several cracks showing the realms appeared in the sky. Arin's parents told him to get inside the house. Although he tried, Arin was blown away by the wind until he was rescued by Lloyd. Along with a few other citizens, Arin was taken back to his neighborhood. As the ninja left, Arin noticed the cracks in the sky disappearing before creating a shockwave. Shortly after, Arin saw his entire neighborhood gone while Imperium was located right across. That was when Arin learned that all sixteen realms had merged with Ninjago. Arin found himself to be the only one left in the area as his parents' bench fell behind him. He tried calling for them, only for a seagull to fly by as Lloyd's mask fell onto his hands.

With his parents gone, Arin began a new life in the Merged Realms, coexisting with various denizens and becoming best friends with Sora, who was from Imperium. He later became a citizen of the Crossroads, which was built over his neighborhood. He started baking Snowberry Pies, which he entered into multiple pie contests, but always lost to Grab-Barg. Because the ninja were missing, Arin started to carry on their legacy by training to become a ninja. Over time, he was able to learn Spinjitzu all by himself.

## *Dragons Rising*, Season 1

### The Merge: Part 1

Arin and Sora went to the Crossroads' junkyard to obtain mechanical parts for an engine. To distract the guard dogs, Arin told them the story of the Merge and how he plans to become a ninja. Despite Sora's protests, Arin believed he needed a ninja master to train him. Just as Sora found the piece, she and Arin were caught by the Security Bots. Arin used his Spinjitzu to knock away one of the Security Bots, only to be bounced back. Sora asked Arin if he can distract the robots. Although Arin thought his intent to tell the robots about the Merge wouldn't work, Sora tells him to think of something else. So Arin used his grappling hook to swing over the robots, distracting them as Sora hacked into one of the robots. As the robots began dancing, Arin expressed concern about how Sora can hack things so fast. To make up for the stolen mechanical piece, Arin placed a Snowberry Pie for the owners of the junkyard to get. He then left with Sora to return to their penthouse.

While going back, Arin expressed joy about how amazing Imperium is, despite Sora's hatred towards the realm. Arin said he wanted to explore other places since he had never been outside his neighborhood until the Merge. Although Sora explained that the Crossroads already has the best places from the realms, Arin said that it's different since the people of the Crossroads only live there because they had nowhere else to go because of the Merge. As they reached their penthouse, Arin was challenged to see who would get there first. By using his grappling hook, Arin beat Sora, but ended up hurting himself as a result. After making another Snowberry Pie, Arin and Sora used the parts they took from the junkyard to build necessary components for their racer to participate in the Mech Master 5000, Arin hoping to use the prize money to build a monastery.

On the day of the race however, they were forced to abandon it, when a baby dragon was being hunted down by the Claws of Imperium before rescuing him, and attempt to get away, but their racer had previously been sabotaged by a rival, knocking them off the bridge. When the dragon transferred his power to Sora, allowing her to power to transform the racer into a mech, it surprised Arin before they attempt to fight the hunters, only to be incapacitated by Lord Ras. En route to Imperium on a train, they heard a noise from their compartment and looked up to see their savior, to Arin's surprise: Lloyd.

### The Merge: Part 2

Lloyd frees Arin and Sora before Arin returned Lloyd's mask to him, where he was appalled by Arin not washing it before they exit through the roof. Arin then surprises Lloyd by doing Spinjitzu, which was the main reason he thought there was a ninja on the train before moving to rescue the dragon, who compliantly licks him, and watched him empower Sora again to turn the Imperians' swords into bombs and they quickly get off the train. While getting acquainted and hoping to warn the dragon's herd, Arin notices him make a sculpture of his home: The Land of the Three Mountains.

As Sora got to work on Lloyd's new *Destiny's Bounty*, Arin took to time to get reacquainted with Lloyd since when the latter rescued him during the Merge and what happened afterward. Arin then told Lloyd his reappearance is fate and that he was meant to train him and Sora, something the latter believed he was unreliable and that Wu should be the one, but he isn't around.

Once Sora got the *Bounty* working, they make their way to the Three Mountains, where they discover the Claws of Imperium had followed them and shot them down. Only for the baby dragon's Matriarch to save them. Using telepathy, the Matriarch accuses them of harming the baby dragon, identified as Riyu, but is reassured by him before they move to deal with the hunters to prove their trust. During the fight, Arin, in his Spinjitzu tornado, crashed into a tree. After Lloyd, empowered by the Matriarch, defeats them and the herd prepare to relocate, Arin and Sora said their goodbyes to Riyu, only for him to want to stay with them, with Lloyd complying that he will be their master.

### Crossroads Carnival

Arin was more eager to be trained by Lloyd than Sora. After training for the whole day, he, Sora, and Riyu, both disguising him like a dog, attend the Crossroads Carnival with Arin determined to beat Grab-Barg. They then notice pieces of their mech were salvaged and used as a DJ set, but Arin was more focused on the content before they head over to Mr. Frohicky to enter it. As he does so, Grab-Barg deliberately bumps him with his shell before he mocks him about being put in second again, even calling Riyu a "weird little dog". During their argument, however, they spot Whack Rats kidnapping Lobbo for his prize money, and he, Sora, and Riyu follow them to the junkyard, where another rival racer Kreel needed the money to pay for her friend Targle's release.

From Kreel's information, they search the drop point and discover a secret hatch which leads to a stage with many Whack Rats in a cage, drained by magician Dorama, who didn't want to be upstaged by rivals. Narrowly escaping his traps, Arin used a broom to shut it down before Dorama unleashed a puppet on them, only for Lloyd, who had been following a trail of his meditation carpet's fabric, to come to their rescue. The puppet, despite being off its strings, then went to attack again, but Arin grabs a gramophone horn and, using Spinjitzu, threw it at the puppet to expose gears on its chest. The move of transferring Spinjitzu into items was a surprise to him and Lloyd before he used the fabric pieces through a fan to jam the puppet's gears, destroying it, and Riyu prevents Dorama from escaping.

Returning Targle to Kreel, they went back to the pie baking stall, where Arin was disappointingly placed in second again, but was relieved when Lloyd told him that they will participate the following year.

### Return to Imperium

Arin and other the ninja arrived at the Crossroads junkyard, fighting against the Claws of Imperium to rescue Jiro. Arin swiftly swung over using his grappling hook. Arin attempted to punch an Imperium Drone but accidentally hit himself in the face. As the Claws of Imperium begin to retreat, Rapton activated the Photac, which projected a holographic wolf known as the Photac Beast. Riyu pushed Arin out of harm's way just in time to prevent the beast from biting him. Despite the ninja's efforts to attack the Photac Beast, their strikes prove ineffective. Arin, confused by the situation, asked what the Photac Beast even was. Sora explained that it was a digitally generated animal made of hard light, revealing that she was the one who invented it during her time in Imperium. The Photac Beast continued its attack, while the ninja desperately try to fend it off. Despite their efforts, the beast remained unharmed, and amidst the chaos, the Claw Hunters successfully capture Jiro. Filled with a sense of responsibility, Sora firmly believed that it was her duty to bring an end to the Photac by shutting it down permently. Arin inquired about the method to accomplish it, and Sora informed that she must make her way back to Imperium in order to do so.

Arin was concerned about Sora going to Imperium alone, stating that they are a team and have been together since the Merge. Lloyd, on the other hand, was not convinced and voiced his doubts about their readiness and the potential dangers they might face. Arin tried to reassure Lloyd that they could handle it, but Lloyd remind Arin that he had punched himself in the face earlier that morning. Arin was surprised that Lloyd had seen him do it, but he reminded Lloyd of the importance of their training and how they had come a long way. Arin also mentioned one of Master Wu's saying, "Ninja sharpens ninja." Lloyd acknowledged Arin's point and agreed to go with him. Arin was were thrilled to be going to Imperium. However, he punched himself in the face again. Arin, Sora, and Lloyd gathered together to strategize their approach to infiltrating Imperium. Sora raised a valid concern, stating that simply strolling into Imperium was not a viable option for them. Arin, puzzled by the statement, questioned why they couldn't use their usual method of transportation. Sora explained that they were likely considered wanted criminals in Imperium due to their previous clashes with the Claws of Imperium, making it risky for them to enter openly. Arin suggested that they could access Imperium through the sewers, as he believed it was highly unlikely that the sewers would be heavily guarded.

Nevertheless, the following day, while Arin, Sora, Lloyd, and Riyu were in the Imperium Sewers, they were pursued by three Imperium Drones until they arrived at the Security Station. Sora promptly requested false names for the IDs, and Arin proposed the name Dr. Lampshade Floortile for himself. Once Sora finished created the IDs, they headed to a locker room where Sora distributed Imperian uniforms, emphasizing the importance of dressing as actual Imperians. Arin noted that Sora was already an Imperian, but Sora clarified that assimilating was crucial in the Imperium. Lloyd agreed, highlighting the significance of stealth. Arin suggested hiding Riyu in a backpack to avoid detection. However, as Arin put on the backpack, he struggled. With everything set, they were prepared to proceed. Unfortunately, Arin and the ninja encountered an Imperium Guard who insisted on inspecting their identification cards. Despite the fact that the Imperium Guard accepted their ID cards, he quickly noticed that Arin and the rest weren't wearing shoulder pads, which contradicted Beatrix's decree that all Imperians must wear shoulder pads during weekdays. As a consequence of the breach, they were promptly escorted to the Public Shaming Platform, where they would be publicly broadcasted throughout the entire Imperium, thereby alerting the Claws of Imperium to the presence of the ninja within the kingdom. Arin was left wondering what to do, until Riyu burst out of the backpack and attacked the guard, providing a distraction. Arin reassured Sora that they will ensure Riyu's safety and encouraged her to seize the opportunity to retrieve the Photac. As Sora left to fulfill the task, Arin, Lloyd, and Riyu fought the Imperium Guards. During the fight, Arin evaded an attack from an Imperium Guard, causing the guard to inadvertently punch themselves in the face. Relieved, Arin remarked that he's not alone in occasionally making such a mistake.

### Mindless Beasts

Arin and Riyu were being chased by three Imperium Guards, who were determined to capture the dragon. Arin tried to escape with Riyu by grabbing a hoverboard and riding away. However, the Imperium Guards send out Weapon Drones to track them down. Arin managed to use his grappling hook to swing onto another street, but they were eventually hit and carried away by a drone. Arin punched and kicked the drone, damaging it in the process. However, doing so resulted in Arin and Riyu ending up falling into a dumpster. As the Imperium Guards left, Arin suggested to Riyu that they should wait until it's safe to find Lloyd and Sora. While waiting, they witnessed a group of teenagers cleaning a building, and Arin saved them from a collapsing scaffold. Arin, under the pseudonym Lampshade Floortile, questioned about the nature of their organization, suspecting it to be a musical group. However, the leader, Percival Tartigrade, clarified that they were, in fact, a community service team dedicated to serving the Imperium. He asked Arin to join them and teach them his moves. Arin was surprised that the teenagers think he was cool, but Percival reassured him that they do and asked him to teach them his skills. Arin hesitantly agreed.

Arin showcased his moves to the Imperium Teenage Protection Force, but tried to downplay his skills. Percival praised Arin and expressed his admiration for his abilities. Arin mentioned that he has a Master who's helping him improve his techniques. Arin then asked about the Imperium Teenage Protection Force and Percival explained that their goal is to help others in any way possible. Arin shared his desire to help others as well, mentioning that he has been motivated by the disappearance of his parents. Percival revealed that their ultimate aspiration was to join the Claws of Imperium. Arin was taken aback by the revelation, as the Claws hunt dragons for their life force. As the conversation continued, Riyu fell back from the dumpster, drawing their attention. Arin tried to divert their focus by suggesting he shows them more moves, but Percival insisted on checking what caused the noise. Arin tried to distract the teenagers by pointing at man on a moving walkway, to which the ITPF assumed that Arin was explaining the beauty of Imperium. However, Percival discovered Riyu. He questioned Arin, suspecting that Arin was intentionally trying to divert their attention from finding the dragon, which they perceive as an evil creature as all Imperians were led to believe.

### I Will Be the Danger

Despite the stern reprimand Percival had given Arin about why an Imperian would defend a dragon, Arin revealed that he was not an Imperian, meaning he hailed from a different realm. The Imperium Teen Protection Force was disgusted by the revelation, and Arin braced himself for a fight. However, to his surprise, the dragons had escaped from Imperium Prison. Arin and Riyu seized the opportunity to make their escape as one of Beatrix's banners fell atop the ITPF. Over time, Arin lost sight of Riyu and found himself caught up in the midst of the dragon stampede. He came across Lloyd atop the Earth Dragon, alongside Wyldfyre, who was using her Heat abilities to neutralize the Weapon Drones. Unaware of her powers, Arin mistook her for another Elemental Master of Fire like Kai.

As the group strategized their plan for the dragons to make their escape through the main gates, Arin resolved to search for Riyu, intending to regroup later. However, their escape plans were halted by the arrival of the Claws of Imperium, accompanied by their new Photacs. Arin soon realized that Sora had created the new Photacs, much to his dismay. With little chance of winning against the dragon hunters and their Photacs, Arin and Lloyd struggled to come up with a plan. Unfortunately, Wyldfyre decided to take on the Photac Beasts, drawing Arin and Lloyd into the fray. As the battle began, Sora was reunited with Arin and Lloyd, and Arin made his displeasure known about her creation of the new Photacs. Sora revealed that she had been coerced into activating them, but can permanently shut them down using her Tech Power - but only with Riyu's dragon power. And so, Arin and Sora set out to find Riyu.

### The Calm Inside

***This section is a stub. You can help expand this section by adding some information.***

### The Battle of the Second Monastery

As Arin and Sora were apprehended, LaRow has expressed her disappointment in Sora, calling her by her real name. Arin tried correcting Dr. LaRow, telling her that Sora is not Ana. However, Dr. LaRow clarified that the dragon's name is Sora, and Sora herself revealed that her birth name is Ana. Arin expressed his embarrassment for the misunderstanding. Dr. LaRow then showed them the battle outside the Imperium Palace until the ground shook, and Sora wondered if it was another MergeQuake. However, Arin believed it was a sign of hope. As the Monastery of Imperium emerged from the ground with the ninja inside, Arin got up and attacked Dr. LaRow. Dr. LaRow expressed her aversion to physical violence and surrendered to Arin. Jordana intervened by taking Dr. LaRow's Imperium Sword and began firing a shot at Arin and Sora, who managed to evade it. Arin and Sora continued to evade Jordana's attacks, utilizing the obstacle course techniques taught by Lloyd. As they approach her, Jordana swings her Imperium Sword, but the two used it to break free from their handcuffs. As they were freed, Arin told Sora that they still need to free Riyu.

However, their path was blocked by Ras, who stated that if they fought him, he would kill them, but if they surrendered, he would spare them. Despite the offer, Sora and Arin declined to give up and faced Ras in battle. Arin and Sora avoided Ras' attacks. In a strategic move, Arin tripped Ras from behind. Arin and Sora engaged in taunting behavior towards Ras. During the altercation, Arin utilized his grappling hook while Ras threw his hammer at him, resulting in Arin being knocked to the ground and rendered unconscious. Following Ras' defeat, Sora and Riyu approached Arin, who had just regained consciousness and was surprised by the turn of events. Sora reminded him of their mission and they head outside, where the latter deactivated the Photacs. Arin inquired about the whereabouts of the dragons to the Ninja, to which Nya informed him that the dragons had already left to Ninjago. Without delay, they made their way to the monastery's portal gate.

Days later, Lloyd inquired about Arin's well-being, to which Arin responded positively but with a hint of uncertainty. He explained that he had expected his training to be temporary, given the absence of the other ninja. Lloyd probed further, recognizing that Arin's concerns weren't only about training. Arin told Lloyd that he has been searching for a new family since losing his parents in the Merge. Lloyd reassured Arin that he has found a family in him, Sora, Riyu, and Wyldfyre, and that there is always room for growth when it comes to being a ninja before giving Arin his old hood back.

### The Temple of the Dragon Cores

***This section is a stub. You can help expand this section by adding some information.***

### Gangs of the Sea

Arin and the others strategized their search for the Dragon Cores. They divide into teams: Nya, Sora, and Riyu formed one, Lloyd and Arin formed another, and Kai and Wyldfyre formed the last. Nya and Sora's departure on dragon Sora confused everyone, including Arin, due to the naming similarity. Lloyd and Arin opt for the *Destiny's Bounty*.

On their way to the Mother Garden, Lloyd mentioned that the pink Dragon Core was supposed to be located across the ocean, indicating that they are on the right path. While they wait, they meditate. However, Arin finds it boring and suggests doing something else. As Lloyd recalled Arin of his Object Spinjitzu skills, Arin admits that he hasn't been able to do it since and wondered if he imagined it. Lloyd encourages him to try it with a plate, believing that Arin has other skills he hasn't tapped into yet. After several attempts, Arin finally succeeded in transferring his Spinjitzu energy to a plate, which destroyed the engine. Arin and Lloyd successfully landed the Bounty in the water, relieved that the hull was still intact. However, they soon realize that the engines were beyond repair without proper equipment. Arin suggests paddling their way out, but he soon realize there are no paddles on the ship. Lloyd opens the sails, reminding Arin that airships usually don't require paddles. As they navigate the ocean, they notice a mix of the Endless Sea and a red water ocean, a result of the Merge. Suddenly, Arin and Lloyd spot an aircraft above them and desperately call for help, but the pilot, who was actually Rapton, ignores them.

Arin and Lloyd seek help for their damaged ship from a nearby village. But they are met with hostility from the ocean gang. In their attempt to escape, they are attacked by a giant crab monster. They manage to break free, and discover a friendly village of algae farmers. The farmers inform them that the ocean gang has taken over their village and the crab monster is their guard. Arin suggests fighting back to reclaim their village, but the farmers express their reluctance to engage in combat. Lloyd offers their assistance in retrieving their village, as they needed a place to live while their engines were being repaired. Arin proposes a solution: by confronting the ocean gang, they could address both problems. Lloyd agrees, on the condition that the farmers are willing to fight. After an extensive training session, Arin, Lloyd, and the group returned to the algae farmers' village. A raft approached with a note from Arin, but it couldn't be read due to darkness. Arin revealed that the note instructed the Merlopian with the note to look behind. The Merlopian turned around and was kicked into the water by Arin. Lloyd and the farmers fought the ocean gang, but couldn't find the leader. Arin believed he was still around. They were outnumbered and Arin tried to rally the algae farmers' spirits. Suddenly, the crab monster appeared, making Arin realize the situation had worsened. Lloyd went after the leader while Arin stayed to distract the crab monster. Arin's confidence wavered as the monster destroyed a structure.

They encountered the ocean gang again, and Arin tried to use Object Spinjitzu again but failed. The crab monster reappeared and Arin sought alternative options for the farmers, but there were none. After Lloyd knocked the control crown off the ocean gang leader's head, Arin discovered that the crab monster was controlling the ocean gang. He figured out that the monster's center tooth was the source of its power and that someone intentionally placed it there. Arin annoyed the monster while Lloyd knocked out the tooth, causing the creature to shrink and swim away. The next day, Dale repaired the *Bounty* for free as a gesture of gratitude. With a wave goodbye, Arin and Lloyd left in the *Bounty* to continue their mission, with Arin hoping for an easier one for the other ninja.

### They Call it Doom

***This section is a stub. You can help expand this section by adding some information.***

### The Administration

Lloyd and Arin emerged from the portal, relieved to find themselves unharmed at the Administration. Arin, using his grappling hook, hoisted them to a higher spot for a better view of their surroundings. Uncertain of their location, Lloyd suggested seeking assistance from someone nearby. Approaching a line of people, Arin jokingly expressed his hope that it wasn't the queue for the bathroom. Lloyd asked an applicant where they were, and the applicant responded with a complicated location. Arin asked what the Administration was, and the applicant explained that it's the center of bureaucracy for the world. Lloyd asked for help, but the applicant refused. He explained that he had been waiting for something important, although the purpose of the line has been lost for a generation. Arin was incredulous at the idea of waiting in line for so long. Allen and Underwood confronted Lloyd and Arin, asserting that without the necessary forms, their presence in the Administration was deemed unacceptable. In an attempt to delay the agents, Arin initiated a narrative about the ninja's pursuit of the Dragon Core. Yet, before he can proceed, Allen interjected, emphasizing the necessity of a permit for any form of stalling. Suddenly, a tube capsule delivered two permission forms for Arin and Lloyd. Arin wondered who sent the permission forms, while Lloyd emphasized the urgency of finding the Dragon Core.

Arin and Lloyd were searching for the Dragon Core and asked other Administration Agents if they had found it. However, the Agents remained silent as they didn't have the necessary permission forms. Suddenly, more tubes dropped pieces of paper to guide Arin and Lloyd to prevent being caught by Allen and Underwood. However, they were caught by a Merlopian and a Munce. Arin, not wanting to reveal the truth, fabricated a story about gathering pencils for sharpening and asked if they had any. Taking the pencils, Arin and Lloyd made their exit. Lloyd then referred to the directions, instructing Arin on the path to Mail Cubicle 45-67A. However, Arin didn't hear Lloyd as he was searching for a pencil sharpener. As Arin and Lloyd arrived at the mail room, they were surprised to find Zane waiting for them. Arin questioned how Zane ended up there, to which Zane explained that he had been caught by the Administration Agents for too many failed attempts to activate the portal gate. The conversation then shifted to the messages in the tube capsules, which Zane had been sending. Arin then accused Zane of drawing a terrible picture of him, to which Zane claimed it was a good likeness due to his photographic memory. Zane asked Arin why he was carrying pencils. Arin replied that they needed to be sharpened.

Suddenly, Allen and Underwood broke in. However, Arin hurled the pencils towards the agents, causing them to slip. In the chaos, Zane threw Lloyd and Arin up the tube and entered it himself. Unfortunately, the group became separated during the process, with Arin ending up at the Department of Reassignment, meeting Prentis. Prentis explained that the Department of Reassignment was where the Administration Agents send the affected individuals of the space bubbles back to their original realms. Arin asked if they had found his parents and assigned them somewhere. Prentis, overwhelmed by the number of people they had encountered, questioned Arin's presence and demanded authorization. In response, Arin lied and quickly left to retrieve his supposed authorization. As a Munce agent attempted to extract Lloyd from the Master Mech, Arin intervened and threw the agent out. Lloyd expressed his relief at Arin's arrival, and the two of them fled from pursuing agents in their mech. Arin directed Lloyd to move closer to the laser grids, and upon detaching the Dragon Mech from the Master Mech, he destroyed one of the laser blockades. Lloyd was impressed by Arin's ingenuity and asked how he accomplished the feat. Arin revealed that he had heard of mechs such as the Master and Dragon Mechs during his time as a mech street racer. Subsequently, Arin and Lloyd rendezvoused with Zane, and the three proceeded to enter the portal that would transport them to the Mother Garden.

Arin, Lloyd, and Zane made their way back to the Monastery of Spinjitzu. To their dismay, they found out that Dorama had managed to steal the purple Dragon Core from Kai and Wyldfyre. Worried, Arin voiced his concerns about Nya and Sora, wondering if they had been able to obtain their core successfully. Kai admitted that he was unsure, as Nya and Sora hadn't returned yet. Arin stressed the importance of acquiring all three cores urgently, explaining that Beatrix having even just one core was preventing them from stopping the MergeQuakes. As the ninja returned to Imperium, Arin couldn't help but mention his lack of fondness for the place.
