Appearance: Arias stands at about six feet and three inches tall. He has wild-looking, long dark hair that falls down just below his shoulders. He has a beard and a mustache that both look like they are cut with a knife. His face is wrinkled and weather beaten and he looks much older than he actually is. Arias wears clothing that is all made out of some kind of animal skin. He normally wears a large coat over an undershirt along with a pair of trousers and huge boots. He carries his twin daggers, one in the back of each of his boots. His mace he keeps at his side, its leather cord looped through either his belt or around his wrist.

History: To fully understand Arias Meek, I have to go back several hundred years to when the Queb tribe was first established. The Queb tribe was formed by a group of ex-slaves, who were freed by the World Government as an act of good will. These slaves were then left to their own devices and could not find a new home for themselves. They began sailing further and further south until they were close to the South Pole. Finally, they made their home on an island so far to the south that it was nearly uninhabitable. They worked hard, lost many lives to the bitter cold, but finally created a society in which their families could live safely and peacefully.

Once they had finally settled down, there was a lot of bad feeling towards the World Government. Despite being set free, they were angry because they had been left without anywhere to go. So the tribe set up its own government and began to run themselves. They quickly realized that the World Government had forgotten about them, or at least left them for dead, and they didn’t even both paying taxes. Many years passed and very little changed. These people were careful, they did not trade with other nations and kept to the more dangerous southern territory so they were practically invisible to the eyes of the whole world.

Arias Meek was born, the ninth in a line of chiefs of the Queb tribe. He grew up in the tribe’s original village, which was named after their tribe itself. Arias was trained in the fighting arts of his people and he eventually inherited both the position of chief and gained the mace weapon that each chief had wielded in his time. Arias was curious about the outside world when he was younger and even as he grew older he never lost that curiosity. He simply did not act on it and buried it away, knowing that if he went out to explore the world, his tribe and all of his people could be found and destroyed.

The Queb tribe finally made a mistake, one that none of them ever considered. They grew too large. They were simply running out of room on their small islands deep in the South Blue. And then, when a large group of them were heading north to search for a new island, they ran into a Marine patrol. Understandably the Marines wanted to know who they were, but the Queb people had isolated themselves so much that instead of trying to talk peacefully, they stupidly attacked. Their weapons were far more primitive compared to the Marines and the Marines swept through them like a storm. Practically the entire nation was destroyed and the remnants were gathered up for questioning. Ironically, many of the people were sold back into slavery to World Nobles. Arias was nearly killed in the fighting, but he managed to survive with near mortal injuries by using the snow of his homeland to slow the bleeding. He then set out, his former curiosity returning. He promised himself that he would free his people and return them to their islands once more.

His bounty was earned both from his battle with the Marines when they arrived on his island (he killed a lot of them) and from his travels since then. He doesn't understand how to fit in so he stands out a lot and ends up fighting not just Marines but civilians on a regular basis for a variety of reasons.

Personality: Arias is a rough, but somewhat sad character. He is very much a loner in the world that his people rejected. He keeps himself to himself for the most part. Still, his curiosity gets the better of him at times. He does not understand many customs or even simple ideals and is always having to have someone explain things to him. His roughness reveals itself in the form of his brutality when fighting or his rudeness to even people who are trying to be polite to him.

Ship: He has a small sailing vessel that is not equipped for more than a couple people.
