Rin Balance

Rin is a tiefling monk of the Four Elements, and was briefly a member of the The Dragon's Tail.

Biography
Born in the lands of Faerûn, she's been abandoned as a baby in the city of Ceidil at the doorstep of the Naraki Clan. Rin grew up in a world of dark and narrow alleyways that harbor the black market, and when she was old enough she became a Runner for the Clan. She was the smallest and weakest from the Clan, but showed her worth through Runner qualities: agility, speed, and stealth. And also the Elders doted on her, which helped her situation within the Clan as well. As a Runner, she was usually distraction, carrier of important cargo, or messenger during crime operations.

At fourteen, she usually did her job as Runner and hung out with her peers in age. Those peers, however, were up to no good, and had started to worship darker beings. Before Rin could talk them out of their upcoming plans, she already ended up at the side of her dead best friend who'd been sacrificed for a ritual with fingers of her peers pointing at her that she had been the one going astray to paths of forbidden evil. Still covered in the blood of her best friend, she fled upon hearing the words of her execution. Rin discovered quickly that just fleeing the city wasn't going to cut it, they were after her for betraying the Clan. Not just anyone, but her peers.

Rin knows that one day she has to confront them, and steadily a hatred is kindling deep within. Blood thirst keeps her awake at night, her fear growing weaker as the darkness becomes bigger. In the lands of Sun Spike, she discovered the way of monks, and learned that there's a monastery pursuing the Way of the Four Elements in the Star Mountains. Upon arriving, they took her in. Teaching her the ways of the monks, she discovered her affinity for fire.

Until the age of 23, she lived a life of seclusion and safety with the mission to control her darkness, and master the power of fire. At the mark of her sixth year in the monastery, she earned her first tattoo: a dragon of flames coiling over her tail, to her back, to her arms, and neck. Not much later she overheard rumours of a tiefling group roaming the mountains and 'visiting' other monasteries nearby. After this news, she disappeared deeper into the mountains, leaving a home once again.
