UserName: PapillonCameo
Name: Karlin Archer
Age: 23

Ancestry: Her ancestor was a fire fae of much renown who entertained the various courts of the time with his talent for manipulating fire in unusual ways. He could paint landscapes, create temporarily living creatures, and other such feats, all with nothing more than flickering flames.
Heirloom: A magical accident during practice with one of his friends caused the fire fae to capture a part of his earth mage friend's soul within a shapeless piece of glass. Though it might have seemed like nothing more then a lifeless lump, part rough and part smooth, and inner flame lights it depths for those who care to look. It was hung upon a silver chain, and passed down through the generations until it reached Karlin with the story that it was something precious that needed to be guarded.

Appearance: With hair the color of orange flames, Karlin's heritage doesn't very much shine through in any other aspect. She is curvaceous with bright green eyes and has a ready smile and prefers to wear corsets and jeans, with an optional jacket, and leather ankle boots, to anything else. She isn't very much one for frills, and so avoids them most of the time.
Skills/talents: Karlin can pick locks, climb just about anything, and has some skills with knives and street fighting. She grew up as an orphan on the streets with a gang of others like her, who had nowhere else to turn, and didn't care too much about it. (maybe something to do with fire, haven't decided yet)

Personality: She's flirtatious, vivacious and always up for an adventure, no matter the danger involved. Underneath it all she's caring, and very loyal to her friends, though her temper can sometimes be quick to flare.

History: Her parents were doctors who would often volunteer to travel into other countries to offer help where it was most needed. During one particular trip they were caught up in the middle of a devastating plague, somehow Karlin was spared. She has no memory of them, instead she thinks of the group of other orphans who took her in as her family. She had many brothers and sisters, who all support each other unconditionally. Marlin, the protective eldest of the group, educated everyone as best he could, and encouraged them to learn all they could. This helped them survive through thievery. Karissa, one of the frailer adoptive siblings, did her best to make sure that the group knew the differences between right and wrong. Through all of this, Karlin always kept a glass necklace she can't remember ever being without.

Eventually they all managed to get straightened out by investing much of what they'd stolen into legitimate accounts. That's how Karlin found herself in Bemidji, a lake side city that enchanted her on sight, signing up for college of all things in the hopes of making something of herself.

Here's all the information I have for Karlin, hopefully that suits.
