Arien Image

You are an Arien. born under the Aries sign.  Always showing a natural drive for success and competition, you may have been an athlete, a solider, or a director.  You may have even worked more than one of these professions, as an Arien rarely stays in one place for too long.  The older your character, the more likely you are to have moved between towns and occupations.  Even a young Arien might have an insatiable desire to escape their current circumstance and achieve something greater.

As with all the fire signs, adventuring is likely to attract an Arien.  The glory, the unpredictability, the imminent danger, and the intense camaraderie all provide an Arien with sufficient senses of excitement and accomplishment.  Work with your DM to determine how your Arien character lived before adventuring and how they got involved in the profession.  Perhaps your character is even responsible for organizing an adventuring effort.

The Unstoppable Force

Ariens are relentless, endlessly moving forward.  As such, they are never comfortable being in one place for too long.  They also have a strong desire to improve themselves, often viewing their pursuits through the lens of a competition.  This is a prime motivator for those born under the Aries sign, as glory and victory give them a sense of forward momentum.  Still, while an Arien will commit to strict training for the sake of self-improvement, they nonetheless value new experiences to challenge themselves with.

Suggested Characteristics

At their best, an Arien is a motivated and accomplished member of any adventuring party, often becoming leaders and decision makers due to their profound sense of direction and momentum.  They will also develop a passionate appreciation for their companions, should such companions prove loyal and hardworking.  Left without an anchor, however, an Arien can become uncontrolled, pressing forward without consideration and directing tyrannical fury upon those unfortunate to get in their way.
