Skyrend

A middle-aged human male sorcerer with pale lightning scars across his forearms and neck, short dark hair tousled by the wind, and sharp blue eyes. He wears reinforced leather armor layered with arcane insulation, magnetic bracers on his wrists, and practical boots suited for glider craft deployment. His clothing is worn and windswept, reflecting his life spent in volatile atmospheric zones.

Ardin is pragmatic and focused, with a deep respect for the power of nature and the mysteries of the sky. He is cautious but determined, often appearing aloof but deeply committed to his work. His experience in the field has made him resilient and resourceful, able to adapt quickly to changing and dangerous environments.

Ardin Thorne is a dedicated human field agent working for the Tower of Knowledge in Skyrend. His mission is to study, record, and weaponize volatile atmospheric anomalies such as skyquakes, ether tempests, and mana-flares. Trained as a Sorcerer with the Storm Sorcery subclass, Ardin has a deep connection to the storms he investigates, marked by pale lightning scars on his skin—remnants of near-death experiences and his bond with the elemental forces. He wears reinforced leather armor layered with arcane insulation and magnetic bracers to protect himself during dangerous deployments aboard glider craft or dropships. Though his gruff tone and outsider aura make him seem distant, his detailed reports are highly valued by the Consuls of the Tower of Knowledge. Ardin embodies a windswept, worn style, blending the roles of researcher and survivor, with a personal storm constantly simmering beneath his control.
