Kinship
Outward Appearance

Physical description: Art is a fairly unremarkable Breelander. His skin is tanned and weathered from many years of farm work in the sun. The wrinkles on his face tell a story of a long life full of hard work, yet there are laugh lines as well as worry lines, and he has an honest expression — if a bit grouchy.

A limp marks his walk, not very pronounced though the uneven gait is ever-present. If one looks close enough, they might realize that the lower half of his right leg is not flesh and blood but a wooden prosthetic, though this is usually hidden by heavy trousers and work boots.

He has a Breeland accent and typically speaks with a gruff tone. Usually he can be seen in weathered work clothes, sleeves of a stained, hand-spun linen shirt rolled up to reveal strong arms that belie his age. If he’s making a delivery or selling his produce at a market stand, he might have a worn leather vest over his normal shirt in a meager concession to fashion.

 

Personality: Art is a straightforward no-nonsense fellow, with a tendency to be grouchy and gruff. He doesn’t take lip from younger folk nor show much in the way of affection. However, he’s protective in his own way and has a strong sense of responsibility. When he ran a larger farm, he had a tendency to hire young folks in need of a place to stay rather than just the best workers.

Background

Until his injury, Arthur Northropp owned and managed a rather large farm, but his injury forced him to sell the farm. His wife, Sonya, supported them for some years while he recovered, but once they could afford to, they purchased another, smaller farm. They now grow and sell produce and lead a quiet, hardworking life.
