Date of Maxing: January 1, 2012
Temper: Noble Savage
Breed: Cerynei
Breed Appearance: Cerynei
Height: 16.2 hands
Personality: A noble Ceyreni who dislikes civilization and groups. He believes they are corrupting force against one's nature. He says what he thinks and does things according to his own plan. He's very focused and quiet while alone. He's a naturalist. He believes wholly in the earth and it's nutrients. He is very spiritual in nature. When he cares to form an actual bond, it is strong almost to the point of forsaking his beliefs.
Sometimes, because he's so intune with nature (or in thoughts), he has the tendency to trip over "problems" or other soquili.
As time goes on, he's come to find out that he desires companionship of his friends/family. He realizes that the want for family and companionship is as natural as nature. Though civlization is corrupting of the natural man, absence of corresponding with others depletes your humanity. Humanity is worth more than anything.
Though he still disconnects emotionally, the gap is not as large anymore.
Quirks/Character Traits:
✶ Like being alone, enjoys silence and despises "civilization"
✶ Is a healer, very good with herbs and remedies
✶ Owes a debt to Avada Kedavra as long as he lives.
Backstory: Not much is known of his birth or his parents, however he has a hidden past. A few years ago, when Bedford found Acacia and brought her to Arden, Arden could not heal her. Nature was failing him, and he felt lost when everything he did to help her did not bring her around. She stayed ill until he was driven almost to desperation.
Secretly, he left in the dead of the night, leaving Acacia with Bedford (neither of which he knew before). He sought out AV, a rumoured priest of the Kawani lands--the only way of saving her though it was against nature to do so. He pushed his qualms behind him in order to save a life--surely such a grievous fault could be forgiven in an effort to save someone?
AV gave him something to help Acacia to recover--a blanket and herbs.
However, he paid a heavy price that he keeps secret. He is at the beck and call of AV for the rest of his life to supply him with help or herbs as needed. No questions to be asked. Little is known about this to anyone. He mentioned "selling his soul" in passing to Zarita who he has warned against it.
For a long time, Arden has been left in peace. But now...it is rumoured that AV has returned and he will once again be calling on his faithful servant.

The Continuing Story...
Bedford and Arden bonded together as guardians to take care of Acacia. Arden who was not familiar with common practices of other soquili often gave awkward advice. Having not dealt with others often, he did a fairly bad job of giving her advice in life/love rather than strictly theoretical absolutes.
Being a loner, he has given Acacia awful advice (several times) which lead to a bad decision. His first error was not telling Acacia of the rumours that she might have a sister alive, the other offense is that he told her to make sure she loved Banzai before she settled down. She took his advice foolishly in an attempt to verify what she already knew, and ended up pregnant by another stallion as a result. Arden and Acacia are currently not on speaking terms. Arden, lonely, with no visits from Acacia who he raised finds himself in a fateful storm where he meets Nokomis.
Nokomis and Arden fall together and as a result end up having foals together. During her pregnancy, Nokomis is attacked by a skinwalker while protecting a foal. Luckily, none of the unborn foals were harmed--however, in a chain reaction while Arden is out gathering and Nokomis is a few feet away after the birth of the foals, one of their baskets is stolen by another skinwalker.
Arden and Nokomis are striken with horror over the loss of their basket. Though they look for it, they cannot find it. Arden feels as if he's being punished for the sins he's committed against nature by helping AV.
Ultimately, this led Arden and Nokomis to dissolve their relationship.
It was the fire that lead Acacia to make amends with Arden
