Jisken
Name: Jisken
Age: 16 Turns
Sex: Male
Craft: Tanner / Candidate
Rank: Apprentice
Physical Description: At his age, Jisken hasn't had the chance to grow out, but he's certainly grown up: at 5'11", pole-thin, and still growing, he already towers over his two siblings. Tanned by the Igen sun, his skin is a coppery color, though his curly mop of hair is not much darker, a brown lightened by his time in the sun. His eyes are a dark hazel, though often mistaken for brown unless in the right light, which is rare considering that they hide under a pair of bushy eyebrows that make him appear far more intimidating than his disposition suggests. His body is laced with wiry muscles, especially in his legs, which are often shown because of his habitual fashion of knee-length shorts of a light, airy cloth--and little else. His hands and feet are particularly leathery (though none of him is baby-soft), and depending on whether or not he's been working, he might smell faintly bovine.
Personality: Those who best understand Jisken describe him as mellow, and it largely fits the youth, who often takes the role of mediator among the younger weyrbrats of Igen. He's a personable fellow, if not the most learned, and if prompted can even be somewhat silly in his actions. On his own, he's a calm and quiet fellow, but his disposition is largely influenced by the people around him: for children, he's the goofy older brother, for elders, he's the sturdy, quiet youth ready for instruction, and for the ladies he's amicable and friendly, increasing so depending on how shy she is. He's unaware of how impressionable he still can be, but his social malleability comes with a fault: he's not learned how to lead a situation. Ultimately, outside of his work he lacks creativity, and can only effectively work by following the careful instructions of others.
Jisken adheres to a strict sense of honor instilled into him at a young age. Typically, he's the type to go with the flow, to wait something out until the worst has passed, but this applies only to his own personal problems: to others, he takes it as a personal responsibility to help from start to finish. His sense of morals is fine-tuned to the point of sometimes coming across as holier-than-thou, and he can be stubborn as a wherry when it comes to enlighting others of the teachings of his youth. People who cross these teachings are likely to cross Jisken as well, and he's not too inclined to forgiveness unless given an apology. One thing that particularly gets his goat is harsh treatment towards the "weak", meaning women and children. Although his intents are altruistic in nature, this quirk leads some to think of him as chauvenistic.
History: Jisken spent most of his life at Igen Hold, and as soon as he was old enough was taken as an apprentice to the tanneries, where his stout father worked to support an older daughter and, at the time, the newest addition to the family, later revealed to be a female as well. The middle child, Jisken nevertheless took responsibility for his siblings, and by extension the fellow children of his playgroup. Fourteen was an important year for him: it was the year he beat up some harper punk for getting his older sister with child without wedding her, and it was the also the year he was first Searched. Although his mother had reservations about his leaving, his father was entirely for it ("Ye dun get inta histry skinnin' beasts," he said). Originally, Jisken stayed at Igen Weyr, as it was closest, but after three failures at Igen and the prospect of eggs at the nearby Ista, he has decided to take his luck there.
Pets: None. Never seemed to really care one way or the other, either.
Other/Talents: Jisken is used to pretty long work-days, so the idea of hard labor doesn't bother him. He also understands sewing to some degree, though he wouldn't be the one to turn to for any fine embroidery.
Will this character be a candidate? Yes.
Picture: n/a (for now)

Friends and Enemies
Firyal - Friendly, though one has to wonder if she was being sincere, or just playing games. Jisken would like the opportunity to meet her once again, and vaguely wonders if she Impressed in the last clutch (though he's never thought to ask anyone). - 5/10
Astri - Pending - ??/10
Hanya - Pending - ??/10
Jessan - Pending - ??/10
Raedue - Pending - ??/10
