Name: Anont
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Orientation: Bisexual
Craft: Vinification
Rank: Apprentice

Physical Description:
Slightly taller than the average height, Anont is a boy that definitely grew into his body- he has a good set of shoulders on him, and a decent strength from carting around wines for his previous master. His hair is a dark black color, ending at a length just under his ears, and his eyes are a very dark brown, borderline black. His face is typically stoic, but when he smiles, he seems the actual age he is (young!) instead of the older man he portrays himself as.

Personality: At the surface, Anont seems particularly cold and distant; he’s not one to go out and make conversation with others. Really, he’s just focused on thinking; about what? Who knows. Typically, he thinks on his job and ways to improve, but he’s acknowledged occasional daydreams about dragons. When he’s caught with this, however, he typically laughs it off and returns to his previous task.

Whatever he’s assigned to do, Anont takes the job incredibly seriously. There’s nothing occurring outside of his job until it’s done, and focus needs to be entirely on the task at hand. Especially in working, Anont isn’t one for conversation; if you try to talk to him, you’ll get a word or two back at best, if not a grunt or total ignorance. But what can you do with a guy that works that hard?

On the rare occasion Anont relaxes, he enjoys simply listening to other people speak, particularly the story tellers. If you manage to catch him at one of these times, he’s much more light-hearted and friendly than on the job. Still not one to make conversation, but he’ll definitely take part in one if somebody addresses him.

History:
Anont was raised in a smaller, nearby weyr with his parents, working on an apprenticeship with an old Vintner. In his seventeenth year, when he’d gone out trading with his father, he was searched and seen to be a potential candidate. With that, he packed up his bags and prepared to head to Ista Weyr. He’s lived alone there for some time, though he occasionally makes visits to his home weyr to see his old master and his parents. Even though he doesn’t see them much, he has a good relationship with the ‘folks- his father a trader, and mother a harper. They’ve never been of high standing, they’re simply average people living average lives. That’s why, when their son was searched and had the chance to impress, they were more than thrilled for him to head to Ista to stand.

In recent history, Anont has been stationed at Ista Weyr for about two years, now. He arrived just after his seventeenth birthday, due to work in Vinification and on his parents approval on standing; he’s aware that he’s not the most likely candidate to impress, but he hopes for it dearly. (Not that he’d ever admit it, however. While he hopes to impress a dragon of his own, he wouldn’t be devastated if he didn’t.) Should he not impress, he would likely remain at Ista Weyr as a Vintner.

Pets: None
Other/Talents: His friends and family say that he's a decent cook, but thus far, he hasn't opened up to anyone about it. Otherwise, nothing particularly special about him. Joe average, reporting for duty.
Will this character be a candidate? Yes
Picture: (if you have one) None. Coming soon?

((Note: I was a bit iffy on his age, so if it needs to be changed in relation to his craft, that's totally fine! Thanks for reading! ))
