History: During his first few years of life it was all very boring and largely ordinary. His mother was a kitchen worker his father a healer. He never had much contact with his father and he spent his childhood running riot with the other weyrbrats in the crèche while his mother worked. However for the most part his mother was his main career thought his father didn't seem to be in the picture much and Keigan was never sure how they had ended up togther or how strong their connection was. But he still rarely sees his father
The first time he stood for impression he didn’t get picked and the second time he had to sit out because he had broken his arm rock climbing. He didn't know if he'd impress but it never bothered him when he didn't. He's only started to really want to impress. with the return of thread fall and the death of some of the weyrs more beloved members he started to realize how much he loved his home for all its flaws. The last thing he wanted is to loose it or any more of the people that made up its rich and vibrant community.
During the crisis that followed thread there was one small silver lining, he did discover talents he never knew he had, what would be counted as 'survivalist' skills have always been strong in Keigan who was half wild from an early age, quick and strong hunting comes naturally and his mother being a cook has slowly drilled into him information about what is safe to eat and how to prepare food so while food was scarce he always did well on food scavenging duties.
During the revolution there was no question about what side Keigan was on, loyal to the weyr that raised him and the old ways that have served him and his family well he has picked up his savaging again to try and feed the influx of people. It has also forced him to focus a little more and his fighting skills are improving.
Description: Keigan has a very youthful boyish face and possible always will, even growing into adulthood his round features, button nose and full cheeks stop him from gaining any true look of maturity. Meanwhile his body and limbs have gone the other way becoming long awkward and angular the typical look of a teenager who needs to fill out but his body is to busy growing upwards.
He likes to keep his thick wavy brown hair short but never bothers to cut it so the usual length ends up brushing around his jaw. His eyes are large and expressive with a hazel colouring that can look deep brown or vibrant green depending on the light. His clothes are always very sturdy leathers and tough fabric but they still get worn away and ripped regularly.
His clothing is good quality, tough old leather and hardy fabrics, but that doesn't stop them from constantly been worn through so all his usual wear is either patched or sporting new holes.
Personality: People Say that if Keigan had wings he'd challenge the sky. Keigan doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, unfortunately he also doesn't seem to know the meaning of reckless endangerment or mortality. The Weyr's very own dare devil a adrenalin junky in the truest sense of the word. If its dangerous possibly fatal Keigan has probably at least attempted it. Things like diving off higher and higher cliffs in to smaller and smaller bodies of water and going down the river rapids in a small fishing boats are just some of the things he has tried in the past.
Keigan truly has the devils luck because pern only knows how he is still alive. He has been to the healers probably more times than anyone else in the weyr but apart from the occasional broken bone never been taken in with anything to serious.
When he is not doing anything Keigan is extreamly twitchy, sitting and listening is not something he does well and he'd rather just do. Even if its chores He can only take so much lecturing before he completely tunes out or starts complaining...loudly. Probably why he hasn't found a craft yet, he doesn't listen, jumps in and inevitably ends up messing up. Seeing as he has never shown a talent for much else he is well versed in simple chores and in all truth he doesn't mind them as long as they involve some sort of physical activity. When things get boring he'll try and jazz them up in his own style like trying to sweep with three brooms at the same time. It will get done faster that way right?
This boy also looks for his thrills in competition. Want to race? Want to see who can swim faster? Want to see who can find the highest tree and climb it? Want to....Well you get the idea. Don't worry though. Win or loose Keigan always takes it in good humour. He rarely looses his temper but when he gets scolded he does have a tendency to sulk for a short time before he seems to forget it and bounce back just as over the top as ever.
Like everything else he dose Keigan talks a mile a minute and often runs all over the conversation and other peoples feelings, speaking before he thinks his comments have the ability to hurt those more sensitive.But Keigan will be oblivious to the harm he has caused unless someone tells him outright and even then often wave it off as people being to sensitive.
That being said Keigan is not the type to judge on social status, gender or what colour dragon you ride. He can be swayed by strong group emotion within reason as demonstrated in the case of the rouges but even then he cant really hold onto negative feelings towards others. He is not at all a hateful person and its almost impossible for him to hold onto a grudge for more than a day or two.
When women roll their eyes and mutter 'men' as an oath under their breath, they probably mean Keigan. He is fun to be around, presenting himself as 'one of the boys' and full of infectious energy but he has no ideas about deep feelings of others and if you cry around him then he'll just get uncomfortable and start looking for the nearest exit.
A deep thinker Keigan is not, he tends to leap before he looks and if there is a bed of spikes at the bottom, so be it. Keigan always tries to live in the moment, not looking back and not regretting what has come before he adjusts to any new situation and environment quickly and is accepting of any changes that go on around him. He takes life as it comes trying to enjoy every step.
