Cordel
Character Name: Cordel
Age: 23
Sexual Orientation: Eh. Probably bisexual.
Craft/Rank: Journeyman Healer
Description: Standing at 5’10’’ with a medium build, Cordel is a fairly average guy. He is neither slender nor overly muscular. As a Healer, he doesn’t get much of a chance to exercise much, but he tries to keep himself fit. Thankfully, chasing after impertinent patients tends to help in that respect. His light brown hair is kept cut short, primarily because he just doesn’t want to deal with such foolishness like hair styles. He’ll leave that sort of thing to… well… someone else who cares about that sort of tomfoolery. A very passionate and emotional man, his ice-blue eyes are normally alight with some emotion. Typically annoyance, but, hey, he has a happy side too. At least when he gets to prove himself right.
Personality: Cordel is an intensely moral and compassionate person. It’s just sometimes tricky to see this beneath the layers of snark and occasional cantankerousness. A highly emotional person, Cordel is very much an ‘all or nothing’ type. It’s what makes him a decent Healer; he’s willing to put everything into trying to make someone better, regardless of what cost it might exact on himself because he really does care. He is a man who is ruled by his heart rather than his logic. An odd combination for a medical man, perhaps, but one that works for him. The mind is all very well, but mere logic cannot explain love or courage or any of the other wonderful things human beings are capable of. He lectures on this. Often. Don’t get him started, unless you want him really distracted.
While Cordel would like to think of himself as a cynic, he’s really too… well, he just can’t. In general, the man is about nine parts bluff, one part action. He may threaten to take away a patient’s numbweed if they got on his nerves, but he never would actually go through with any of his threats. Really, he’d just go off grumbling to himself, possibly to enjoy a nice drink when he’s off duty. Or several drinks. It’s a problem.
He’s very definitely a work-a-holic, especially recently. In order to ‘get over’ being dumped, he has taken to devoting every single bit of free time he has to Healing.
Because of his strong beliefs---and even more so because of his strong emotions----he often gets into fights. His moral side prevents him from making many allowances, since he’s terrified that such a thing might allow him to go down some slippery slope. This keeps him from being flexible about… well… anything. Between instinct and logic, instinct usually wins out. He’s the type of guy to go with his first impulse, even if, later on, that proves to be sort of stupid. Thankfully, his compassion prevents him from doing anything completely deadglowed, like risking someone else’s life.
He is kind to patients, thankfully. He seems to save it all up, just for them, the lucky bastards.
His apparent inability to keep his emotions to himself make him an extremely poor poker player.
Other: He’s good at Healing. Not… so good with other things.
He's VERY intent on making Master rank before he's 30. It's highly unrealistic, but, shaffit, he needs a goal.

History
He's a weyrbrat, through and through. Actually, he was born at High Reaches Weyr. He was supposed to be a dragonrider. It was simply one of those things that wasn’t to be questioned. His father, a Brownrider, made it very clear that he wanted to see his son on a dragon, not mucking about with herbs or some such thing. That sort of thing was fine for them that were meant for it, but his son was meant for greater things. Unlike most dragonriders, Cordel’s father took a fairly active interest in his boy’s education and general life. When Cordel was sixteen, his father’s dragon died. His father soon followed.
At that point, Cordel’s life took a rather dramatic turn. He walked out of being a Candidate and into being a Healer. Specifically, a dragonhealer, but he handles all sorts of healing since dragons tend to be pretty hardy. And, my oh my, he proved to be amazingly good at Healing (at least as far as firelizards, whers, dragons and humans go). Although he started his Craft relatively late in life, he moved quickly and learned even faster to make up for lost time. Sure, his people-skills are pretty much non-existent but medicine is his life. He put all of his passion into Healing but, sadly, neglected his social life.
This probably explains why his girlfriend of several turns dumped his a** when he was 23 (ICly, just a few months ago). At that point, he decided he didn’t have anything for him at High Reaches Weyr and transferred to Malvren so he could be as far away from his ex as possible. Well, further, anyway. At least it’s on a different continent.

Known Information/Rumors
Err... >> Yes. This section is to just record what is known about Cordel and such.
Healers who have trained at Healer Hall are likely to recognize him. They may have been in classes taught by Cordel. They are also likely to know about his relationship with Caysine, since she's a Healer too (focus on midwifery and woman's health). The break-up happened suddenly and no one is quite sure what really happened. One moment they were happy together and the next day, Cordel was gone. He's very dramatic like that.
Vintners may learn to recognize him quickly. Although he'd never call it a 'problem', Cordel likes a drink. And another drink. Why not make it a third drink too?

Soon after arriving at Malvren, Cordel took over an office for himself. Unfortunately, it happened to be a small room branching off of the herbal storage room. This is mostly unfortunate because now any other Healer who tries to get some herbs will find themselves the focus of Cordel's attention. And that can be a fairly scary thing, depending on how easily frightened a person is.
His office is pretty disorganized, since Cordel is a huge follower of the Put-Things-Down-Where-There's-A-Horizontal-Surface method of filing. Still, he swears he knows where everything is. Since he hasn't lost anything yet, it seems likely that he's telling the truth.
Cordel has taken some pains to make entering his office a vaguely unnerving task. A fully articulated human skeleton stands in one corner. (Some rather ungenerous people may hazard that the skeleton belonged to Cordel's own father; untrue, of course). A small jar holds a white firelizard fetus, perfectly preserved in spirits. High on a shelf, out of grubby little hands, stands an articulated firelizard skeleton, rearing on its hind legs as ready to blow flame. His desk is one of those really old ones, the types that need bits of board under all the legs to make it stop wobbling. He is quite fond of this desk and glares at anyone who dares suggest he get it replaced.
This is where Cordel spends most of his time; he practically lives in his office.
But, he does actually have a room. It's just largely unlived in compared to his office.
