[Candidate] Farellen [Approved]

[Revel1984]

Name: Farellen
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Role/rank: Weyrbrat/Candidate
Origin: Fort

Appearance: Farellen is pretty tall, Around 6ft 5"/6ft 6" which takes your eye at first. His hair is a light brown, gently highlighted with darker brown, the length is almost to the shoulder, but he keeps it tied back mostly, so it doesn't appear 'girly'. He always has a smile for everyone though he has a slightly chipped tooth. His eyes are a deep chocolate brown (think Dark Chocolate). He is of medium build, and has a wiry sort of strength. His clothes are usually meant to impress people, smart looking and very neat though he isn't vain, he just likes to look nice. He has a separate set of clothes for socialising, and another for doing chores, and he will always get dressed into his neat clothes before joining anyone anywhere that isn't work.

Personality: Farellen has an obsession with things being in a certain place, and gets stressed easily when people move them. He will often go so far as to suggest, quite insistently, to another person that this 'thing' would be better there, and he will even put said item where he'd suggested. He has to have his clothes and things in order, Shirts in one pile, Pants in another, etc.. the have to be in colour order too. He also likes to have a routine of doing things, and works best at his chores if there is a specific rota of order. Aside from that he is very friendly, and is usually easy to talk to. If someone is sad, he'll try and cheer them up, or, if needed, he'll sit with them, and wait until they're ready to talk. He is open about his feelings, but is almost too open, he struggles to form meaningful relationships as he is very absent minded with friends, he doesn't mean to but he gets bored very easily with the same old relationships, it's likely an unconscious rebellion against his obsessive routine behaviour and his feelings of abandonment and rejection from the only parent in his life. He is afraid of disappointing others, and hates to let them down like he was let down by his mother and others growing up, so he just tries not to care too much but if someone can see past this though they would find a very true and loyal friend, fiercely defensive of them though they might have to get used to him being slightly dismissive sometimes, they might even see how desperately lonely he is, but how afraid of making any sort of long term connection. On the face of things he tends to act like everyone wants him and he'll even try and get himself involved in a crowd. That said he's not a total attention hog. He is fairly sociable and talkative, but he can sometimes sense when it's best to just shut up. He is THE biggest flirt, but it's done with humor so rejections don't sting as much. Deep down Farellen wants to have the kind of relationship that means more than a causal encounter, he would dearly love to be a Dragonrider, he dreams of Impressing a White Dragon, but would settle for a nice sturdy brown, or maybe a large blue, he knows he's unlikely to Impress Bronze but in his opinion it doesn't hurt to try and really he would love whatever colour decided to choose him. Farellen likes to think he has friends, but they are merely regular acquaintances.

History: Farellen was born as a result of a mating Flight, he was never close to his mother, and she never tell him who his father was. He often found more affection from the other adults than his mother, it seemed as if she was embarrassed she'd conceived the way she had, though from getting to know other grown ups, he was never sure why since there were many like him in the Weyr. He grew apart from her and as a result they barely talk let alone socialise with each other. When his mother's Dragon got sick and died, his mother asked another rider to take her between as tradition, rather than live without her dragon and as much as Farellen says he doesn't care, he feels somewhat abandoned, like he meant nothing to her at all, she didn't even say goodbye. He learned about his sexuality easily, and dealt with it as just another part of his life. He is confident on the outside but he likes things to have a specific order. He likes attention, but mostly because if he surrounds himself with people, he doesn't have to admit how he feels inside He knew that as a Weyrbrat he'd stand one day, and he did at the previous hatching, though he had gone away without a dragon, he'd been disappointed and withdrawn a little but bounced back, maybe a tiny bit more obsessive about order than before. He'd gone and told someone flatly that something was wrong and that they should put it right, the other ignored him so Farellen had gone and moved it, earning him a split lip and a chipped tooth when the older boy took it the wrong way. This has made him less likely to actually move something, as well as limiting himself to just suggest casually, even if it irritates him. He doesn't really have high ambitions other than the one most of the people on Pern have, and that is to ride a fighting flaming Dragon, even despite the fear of sickness.

Other: Has two flits he saved hard for and bought, he's thankful every day that they're both sensible flits for their colour and haven't yet left him for the wilds. Twitch and Scratch
