Arid gives off a cold-hearted, bloody thirst, monsterous air to everyone he's around. He doesn't like talking, and when he does, he isn't afraid so say mean things to get his point across. He's never merciless to his enemies, and hates it when people feel sorry for him. He's always isolated himself since childhood and he tends to intimidate people.
He uses three main weapons: his bow and arrows, a small broadsword, and a dagger hidden by the collar of his coat. He favors his sword more than anything though.
He was abandoned by his parents when he was six, and his cousin was the only one who would take him in, even though they hated each other. Arid never got along with any of his family members, and he knew the only reason his cousin took him in was pity. They rarely talked; Arid would always be in either his room or down by the river, fishing. He never socialized with other children his age. He prefered fishing or reading over anything else. He was always the top in his class because of it, but everyone considered him a social outcast.
