Character And History
Roxin Crisstoffson is a brown bear with blond-brown fur. He usually wears a green jumpsuit (with orange armband, a nod to his independence), and a pair of silvered aviators.

He comes from a nomadic lifestyle, never staying on the same skyland for two weeks running. His father was, like Roxin, a travelling musician, and Roxin learned most of his personal and political philosophy from him. His mother was also an influence on him, though notably less so. All he knows about her is that she was some sort of Azure League scientist. However, she refused to tell him more, choosing to keep personal and private life seperate. He grew up in the hustle and bustle of a large family, with several older brothers and sisters - Trevor and Daniel (twins, and inseperable: last seen as travelling magicians/merchants), Robyn (the closest in age, and closest to Roxin) and Miranda (the eldest). As such, he prefers small, personal gatherings to large ones. He has drifted apart from his family, but tries to stay in touch.

Due to his parents way of life, his first real friends were made during his years at flight school. He still suffers from some trust issues with strangers, but tries his best to overcome these. At the school, he made a name for himself by proving a naturally skilled pilot. He puts this down to, at the age of seven being handed the controls of his fathers Dauntless and, upon approaching the busy skyport of Cicade, being told to "set 'er down anywhere". His mother intervened before further incident. For most children this would have been traumatic to say the least, but for Roxin it felt like his eyes were opened for the first time. Since then, Roxin's favorite place on any plane has been the cockpit. He passed the finals with decent results, and, upon graduating, immediately declared independence from all factions. He has since flown alone, but wouldn't mind a spare pair of hands for odd jobs around the place. Although he wouldn't admit it to anyone, least of all himself, sometimes he misses the feeling of belonging within a tight-knit group. He is currently around 20, but doesn't make a big thing out of birthdays.

Current Profession and Ideology
Roxin is currently making a living as a travelling musician, like his father, who he has revered ever since the Cicade incedent. He also gets his independent ideals from him, prefering the feel of wind beneath his wings to anything else in the world. He feels ambievelant towards factions, although secretly he would like to find out what exactly his mother does in the Azure league.

He recently bought a carbon composite acoustic guitar for twice the price of his curent plane. He either keeps it in sight or locked up.

Personality
Roxin can be difficult to get on with sometimes, but once he is your friend, you will find him loyal to the last. He tries hard to be outgoing, despite his natural shyness.

Most suprisingly (for a bear) he has no head for drink, and so tries to avoid alcohol. Unsuccessfully.

He is still trying to make his way in the world, and is grateful for anyone who cares to offer the hand of friendship.

Craft
He is currently flying his slightly battered Valkyrie, the Ol' Faithful. He has since traded it in for a mk ii, the New Faithful. Since the NF was stolen by mobsters, he has purchased a Chappy, the Greeneagle.

/OOC
For the duration of skyrates 2.5, Roxin is running influence for the Earthen Order. IC, he is still independent.
