"Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day"
Name: Sevang " Sev " [pro: Seh-vang)
Age: 15
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: Trader
Rank: N/A
Song: Have a Nice Day - Bon Jovi & Wild at Heart - Gloriana
Physical Description:
A rangy youth, Sevang has an unfinished, almost silly, air about him. Possessing bright gray eyes and a wide set mouth, he smiles often and openly. Adding to the 'silliness', his head sometimes appears a bit large for his body from a distance. Perhaps it is because of his smile, poofy hair, and large ears, but Sev doesn't dwell on appearances. Despite his young ungainly limbs, he moves fluidly with an almost cat-like grace, tripping up only when his too-big feet don't go where they are supposed too ( aka, when something has him flustered, like a pretty girl.) He is going to grow up tall and slender, but you'd be hard pressed to convince him of that now. He does, however, have a full head of curly, dark auburn hair that he is rather proud of, and is enviously well tanned from the Igen sun. He loves music and dance, often showing that he is a very good dancer when he can get his feet to cooperate. Still, it is important to note that he is very short as a boy, though he'll be springing up in height as he matures. Will top off at 6'2" when he is about 20. Described as 'goofy looking' during his adolescence, and 'boyishly charming' once he grows into his adult form.
Personality:
Thought of as foot loose and fancy free, Sevang is often regarded as unpredictable but gentle, almost a benevolent trickster. He does, however, act immaturely when he doesn't understand what is going on. Though his overall good nature leaves him feeling incredibly guilty when he acts out of that immaturity and lies or causes harm accidentally. He'll carry guilt for a long time, and he wears that depression on his sleeve like a badge. Normally fun-loving, he sometimes goes to great lengths in search of a good time. Sev is a daring youngster, being absolutely fearless of consequences in the 'here and now.' He likewise has difficulty adhering to authority figures, rules, and their edicts; preferring to work around the rules and/or bend them to suit himself. An escapist by nature and upbringing, he does not like to face tough problems head on, and would prefer to avoid them or talk his way out of them with as little yelling as possible. He is charismatic within his age-group and beyond it, attracting friends easily though he seldom forms lasting attachments because of his family's nomadic lifestyle. His open and friendly facial features add to his charming demeanor, which helpfully offsets being prone to acting before thinking. Thankfully, his quick reaction time and ability to think fast on his feet usually saves him from disaster. He has generally good instincts about things, a nose for avoiding really big trouble, and a firm sense of right and wrong even if he stretches the boundary between them from time to time with his pranks. Fortunately, most everyone can tell when he is lying, though Sev fails to see the advantage of that at this point. Maturity will make him honest and fair-handed, thought he'll still enjoy himself at the expense of others when it comes to jokes and pranks. Up beat and extroverted with his thoughts and feelings, he doesn't hide important things from his friends, and fails to think his friends will hide important things from him.
History:
Raised in a family caravan of traders that circulate around Upper and Lower Igen, Sevang has a fierce love of the desert and it's resilient inhabitants. His parents raised him to be self reliant and to keep his wits and humor about him at all times. Neither saw the point in hiding the truth of life from the growing boy, but given their carefree lifestyle, the family saw little of the political strife currently gnawing at Pern's infrastructure. They haven't lost one ounce of respect for Dragonriders, though being true to their nomadic roots, they don't rely on the Weyrs for anything, nor will they when Thread falls again. Search to be played out ICly, along with subsequent arrival at Ista Weyr.

-- Growing up and learning that the world isn't always rosy, nor welcoming to carefree optimists.
-- Finding justification in his upbringing after doubting the wisdom of his parents, and realizing that he can be who he is, and be the kind of man the world needs him to be, especially as he grows into the charismatic guy people like to be around... and depend on for quick thinking in a pinch.
-- Come to terms with not being naturally gifted with long-term planning... and figure out how to train his mind to think long term.
