Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Ionan
Age: Eight Turns
Gender: Male
Sexual Preference: Bisexual (Girls are icky!!!)
Craft/Hall/Rank: Weyrbrat
Personality: Ionan, for a young boy, tends to be egotistical. When using the word 'egotistical' when concerning Ionan, it isn't meant that he believes he's talented. He knows he is. Whether it be something Ionan's done for turns--or something he's just decided to try, he will be the best at it. (If he feels he is not, expect a loud, obnoxious event in which he bemoans his flaws and carries on about how he should have done better--until someone--most likely his older sister, reassures him that he will improve with practice.) He's an active sort. He likes to constantly look busy, even if he isn't, really.

Oh, he moans and groans about chores with the rest of them! Perhaps more. Ionan, though careful about his appearance, prefers to leave everything else to the others his age. He doesn't want to clean. He doesn't want to help. He wants nothing more than to be able to spend time with his older sister, Iona. Or to keep to himself. This weyrbrat is often reclusive (with the absence of his sibling) and quiet. Unless someone provokes him into speaking; and they may be surprised. Ionan can be long winded, hoping to bore those around him enough that they will go away; there may be some truth in the blather, but he hopes those who listen won't be clever enough to piece those truths together. Not exactly shy, this weyrbrat prefers to be left alone.

Ionan feels he is deviously clever. He's as mischevious as the next weyrbrat, though he is more quiet when going about it. He prefers pestering others to pranks, instead focusing on mental bothers rather than physical. Oh, was he supposed to be there? He must have forgotten. Oh, so that was who he was supposed to take the tubers to. He'd thought they meant someone else. He may take on many guises (forgetful would be his favorite) in order to convince someone he had meant no harm.

You never want to give Ionan marks and ask him to specifically purchase certain items. This weyrbrat may not be likely to steal marks, however, he has a tendency to believe he has found something the purchaser would like more than what they originally requested. Did someone ask for a redfruit? He found bubblypies for the same price! He has no moneysense; if given marks, he would spend them as soon as recieve them.

Ionan doesn't want the nicest weyrbrat of the turn award. He may be generous (depending on the person), but he doesn't like to be called out on it. He would rather it remain unknown who's shared their lunch with a younger child in the creche, who's shown someone how to peel tubers properly. Though often kind, like most children, Ionan believes he must behave as those around him believe he behaves. If when taking cues from adults and others around him, he feels that he is expected to misbehave, he will.

Ionan prefers the company of females! Oh no, he doesn't think of them that way. Not yet, anyway. No, he prefers the company of females simply because he feels he can relate to them better. He has spent long hours with his older sister and enjoys her company. Whether he enjoys the company of girls his age as much--that remains to be seen.

Beware when confiding in Ionan. He delights in spreading rumors and does not limit himself to spreading them about people he knows. He may start one about himself. Not always one to paint himself or others in the best light, it may be best to proceed with caution when conversing with this weyrbrat.

Ionan, though shy and rather reclusive when spending time with those he does not know, tends to be possessive. Not of objects, no. As a weyrbrat, he has few things he could call his own. Of people. This is most often noted when he is conversing with his older sister. He does not want other people to speak with her. He doesn't want her to wander off. He doesn't want her to leave him, ever! This varies in degree. At times, Ionan may hope that his older sister will Impress (those dimglowed dragons had better know how special his sister is) at others, he may be concerned about what will happen in the event that she does Impress. She would be further away from him. She'd have less time with him.

Would he be willing to share his sister with a dragon? Probably. Possibly. No.

This stems from a long lasting fear of being left alone. Ionan, for as long as he can remember, has followed his sister as if they were attached by the hand. With the change that came once she was old enough to become a candidate, he has had to adjust. With some difficulty. He struggled for a period of time, fretting over whether Iona would Impress; fretting over what would happen if she did. Though he would deny it, Ionan tends to be more concerned about his sibling than he would ever tell her.

History: Ionan was born to Ista Weyr. He was given to the creche once he was old enough to be weaned, and grew among the other weyrbrats. His mother had been injured severely at that time, due to the sudden return of Thread. He instead attached himself to his older sister. With the decision to let it be known that they were siblings, the two spent long hours together through the turns.

Ionan attached himself to Iona more as if she was his mother, rather than his older sister. She being eight turns his elder, she was old enough to assist in the caring of; while being young enough to make a decent playmate.

When at the age of 11, Iona became a candidate, Ionan was filled with jealousy. He wanted to Stand too! He didn't want to wait eight turns! It wasn't fair. Why couldn't he? He was tall! He could pass for an eleven turn old! Really! Maybe. The emotion that cut through his jealousy was sorrow. He had never been far from Iona before. He didn't want her in the candidate barracks. He wanted her to stay with him.

Description: Ionan is slender in build, and tall. His hair is often found falling into his eyes when he's forgotten to comb it back. This, however, is rare. Though Ionan is young, he seems to have a flair for looks. When not participating in chores, he may be found fixing his hair. Brushing off dust from his trousers. Picking stray hair from his tunic. The thing that stands out most about Ionan is--that he's clean.

He's the sort that will not stand waiting more than a day to bathe; and when he does, he spends enough time that his hands are properly wrinkled.

Ionan has large brown eyes, framed by thick lashes. His hair is golden blond, and sometimes hides his eyes from view. Freckles lightly line his nose and cheeks.
Talents: Lying - Maybe not a talent, but Ionan feels he is especially skilled in this. Except when talking to his older sister (he feels she's a walking lie detector).

Sketching - Ionan loves to draw. Whether it be the dragon that'd been snoozing long enough for him to make a rough sketch, or sketches of the scenery, Ionan will make the attempt to please his sister.

Being Obnoxious - Though Ionan is often reclusive when seperated from his sister, if encouraged to speak, he will ramble on any given subject, fly off on tangents, and intentionally attempt to lose any listener in the conversation. He does this loudly and quite rapidly.

Notes: Ionan tends to attach himself to every and any female whom can remind him of what he thinks a mother should act like, or his older sister, Iona.

Ionan has the tendency to burst into tears when things aren't going quite the way he would like. Is something keeping him from seeing his sister? Expect a tantrum.
