 [b] Description:[/b] [color=BFA658]Standing at 5 Feet 10 Inches, Arken is of average height but he has an athletic build. During his free time, Arken enjoys outdoors activities, contributing to his physique. He cares about his hair way too much, constantly fussing with it even if it is in pristine condition. His wardrobe consists of typical teenage clothing. Band/graphic tees, fitted jeans, vans or other sneakers. Occasionally, he would pair some accessories. Accessories include, but not limited to, small stud earrings, sunglasses, a watch, a pinky ring with his family sigil etched on it.[/color]  

   [b]Personality:[/b][color=BFA658]On the surface and in front of authority, he is outgoing, mostly upbeat. Fiercely loyal to those he considers his friends. Would rather shy away from action but will not hesitate to act if he sees harm coming his friend's way. He typically uses his magic for constructive purposes, as he believes that earth was meant to be used to build something meaningful. 

However, he is secretly rather conceited, touting his family history and its prominence any chance he gets. When around his friends, he is actually rather reckless with his powers, ready to brew up dangerous potions at a moment's notice.

  [b]Brief History:[/b] [color=BFA658]The Stones have long been know and commissioned as stone masons. Their history tracks back to antiquity. Some of the world's most well known structures has had the 'Stone Touch'. Their fortunes were amassed that way. The last 5 generations had settled in the American West, in the Rocky Mountains where there is an abundance material for them to work and play with. Their family, however, traces their ancestry back to the cradle of Civilization itself, thus explaining the odd name for an American.

When the Gold Rush ended, his family had to start moving Eastward, as commerce started to develop on the coasts. Finally settling down in pre-Great Depression New York, his family enjoyed a time of great fortune and prosperity. His forefathers were hired as builder and architects, having built some magnificent buildings. Some questions were quietly muttered about how efficient they seem to be with building and taming of the unruly rudimentary building material available at the time.

During the Great Depression, the fortune amassed previously slowly dried up. There were no building projects to be taken, and thus members of his family sat jobless for an extended period of time. They were able to scrape by, and adopt a more simple way of life.

Somewhere in the 1950s, a female member of his family discovered a group of 'like minded' people. The Sister of the Dying Branch, to be exact. They took her in, saw her as one of their own instead of the stereotypical 'hippie' or 'Beatnik". Throughout the years since, the Stone family has stayed in contact with the coven, being a supporter of theirs however they can.

Fast forward several decades. Arken was born to a long line of Earth magicians, after a long period of magic being dormant within his bloodline. Living as a part of the typical upper middle class, Arken grew up like any other teenage boy, attending school and the like. He mostly kept to himself during school hours. His affinity to earth led him to be a very outdoors-y person, preferring to spend time walking along in the woods rather than partaking in typical teenage activities. This has gotten him labeled as a 'weirdo' or as an outcast in general.

Arken does not mind. His parents were able to educate him on his family history and he is very proud to be the one to carry on the torch.[/color]

[b] Notable Rumors: [/b] [color=BFA658]It has been said that Arken and his family are drug dealers. In truth, it is just remaining old money that his family has stashed away. It has also been said that Arken is a part of a cult. While not untrue, Arken does not label the coven as a cult. They're as much his family as his parents.
