Personality

Personality: Rowen is very clever and capable of talking his way through most situations. (Which is a perfect skill for a merchant) He can be very worrisome however, as he often gets after experiencing the 'dreams' that occur from time to time. In general, he's a kind person and is very willing to help other people, proven by the fact that even despite him being a sly merchant he is perfectly willing to give up his food or blankets to those that are in need of them.

Equipment

Equipment: Since his beginning his travels, he carries around a large box-like pack on his back in which he carries a large variety of interesting objects, including antique weaponry and artefacts. He has a map of the continent, which has various small words written all over it indicating where he has been and where certain items sell well. He also carries a few books on the basics of alchemy, as well as a journal written by his father. This journal happens to be one of the most important things he has, and he is very unwilling to allow others to handle it.

Alchemic Abilities:
Ice: Capable of creating and manipulating ice using the molecules in the air. He is very capable with ice based alchemic abilities.

Wind: Though not quite as good as his ice based alchemic abilities, he is also able to manipulate air. He mostly uses this in conjugation with his ice alchemy.

History

History: Being near the mountains Southwest of Belhaven in a region known as Epherice, he was born into a poor family. Rowen’s father was a merchant who travelled a lot and often took Rowen along during his travels. This is how Rowen first became acquainted with alchemists.

When he became 10 he began reading about alchemy and quickly discovered his own alchemic abilities. Due to his father’s expansive book collection, he found it easy to obtain knowledge of basics in alchemy.

When he became 16 he began travelling as a merchant himself, not wanting to expose himself as an alchemist while secretly searching for the Stone. He travels from city to city trying to gain new knowledge on its whereabouts. This is part of the reasons for the various notes on his map.

Secrets of his Past: It appears that Rowen's childhood friend Vincent, a prodigy among alchemists, is also in search of the Stone. However, Vincent searches for it in order to gain power, while Rowen searches for it in order to prevent his old friend's arrogant search for power. Their opposing reasons caused a rift in their friendship. This is why he hardly mentions his old friend and may also be the reason as to why he wears a hood to hide his being an alchemist.
