Lord Orrin Seliki
"You can enjoy allowing the tide to carry you, but you can only allow it to carry you so far."
Obituary: Lord Orrin, the former Count of House Seliki died unexpectedly in Pearlspire on on 8/26/1015 AR. While assisting a pearl diving expedition, some young divers became apparently lost in an underwater cave, and Orrin swam to their rescue. He helped free other divers, but he himself apparently got stuck in some rocks and sadly drowned, his body recovered by his house guards.
Description: Large and in charge, everything about this man is larger than life. Strongly built and thickly muscled, he has a booming voice, and he's clearly as strong as an ox. His brown skin is slightly weathered, indicating an active life lived outdoors, and smile lines appear whenever he is happy. Despite his visible power and bulk, he moves with a hunter's dexterity. His hands are strong, equally capable of powerful force as they are of holding the most fragile of objects without causing harm.
Personality: Orrin is in many ways larger than life. While he can spot artifice, he has no patience for it, and is deeply protective of his people as well as their freedom - which makes sense, as the majority of his County's population are descended from, or actually are former thralls. His nature tends to default toward being relaxed and easygoing, quick to laugh and preferring friendship over fighting, but when it comes to his duties and obligations as Count, he has razor sharp forcus and will become dead serious in a blink. Having been widowed some years ago, while he has no problems finding company as suits him, he is starting to long once more for a true partner.
Background: Orrin has known all of his life that he would assume the Countship of Pearlspire. And as such, he concluded that as long as he learned what he needed to know to do best by his people, what was the point in worrying? He lived a rather contented life, marrying young and siring two children. Content to lead his people and devoted to maintaining peace - even if it meant going to war - his life went into upheaval upon the death of his wife occurred while his children were in their teens. He's spent these last few years focused on his children and guiding his County.
