Craft: Smith
Rank: Apprentice
Physical Description:
Notos is of slightly taller than average height, measuring up to 5'9. His complexion is a slight tan, boasting of frequent exposure to sun. His frame is that of a lean male, exercising frequently. He has matured past boyhood, losing traces of fat and unnecessary skin. His face is angular, but it gives him an older look beyond his years. He dislikes this though, since he is often mistaken for somebody else.
His hair is a beautiful coal black, straight hair that cascades around his face to the nape of his neck. His most distinguishing feature though, are his golden eyes that give the appearance of piercing to one's soul.
His trademark is often that of a long grass in his mouth, or something to occupy his mouth. His posture is always lazy, or relaxed, a confident air surrounds him.
Personality:
Notos has a habit of being friendly to everyone, regardless of their status, commoner or lord holder. His attitude, of there being no distinction between ranks have gotten him friendships and enemies alike. This doesn't seem to matter to Notos though, and certainly hasn't affected him in any way. He is also flirtatious, a player as one would term it, accepting any offers of sex from woman. What exists between his partners though, is merely the offer of companionship, the feelings of like, and nothing more.
He rarely takes anything seriously though, since the words 'serious' and 'worry' have never boded well for anything. He also has a habit of speaking his mind, which often borders more on the rude side than not. He doesn't view what he says as rude, of course, but that particular trait has gotten him slapped a few times. For reasons that Notos has never understood, since he thinks that people would WANT to hear the truth if they ask him for his opinion.
Despite everything, he is also a regular male with alot of pride. His pride does not tolerate lies, insults, or cheating. His penchance for telling the truth, holds others to his exacting standards of telling and being told the truth. Regardless of whether the truth is hurtful, or damaging. His patience is tried, easily, if anyone tries to dupe him.
Putting aside his personal flaws, his professionalism exceeds him by far. He works well as an individual or group. He does not desire leadership, or a need to outshine others in any way. He will put his all into any work required of him, not just some half-assed effort. He is considered to be well-behaved, following orders without asking questions, regardless of whether it is right or not. If anything, his discretion may be one of his best qualities. In the same way, he does not ask others about themselves, or offer any indepth information about himself. This hints at a deeper meaning, at the fact that he keeps everyone at a distance from him. Real emotions, feelings that pertain to love escape him, the young male being strangely apathetic to such things.
History:
Notos was a result between a woman that was searched to be queen, and a brown rider. The woman failed in her candidacy, choosing to go back to where she once lived. However, she had taken up an affair with a brown rider before she left, neither of them expecting anything to come out of their short-lived affair.
She birthed Notos, without notifying his father. Essentially, Noto's family life was deprived of both parents, when his mother would die several years later due to illness. His mother's brother, essentially Noto's uncle who worked as a blacksmith took him under his wing. Notos has little memories of his mother, and eased into the life of a craftman's son without trouble. His childhood was spent in a smithcraft's hall, and although he had never been pressured to take up on his foster father's profession, Notos continued to observe and and to learn the workings and dealings of mechanics and machinery.
By this time, he was naturally expecting to live the rest of his life as a craftsmen. It wasn't until he delivered a package to one of the weyrs, that his instinctual longing for a dragon awakened. Notos contained this urge, out of guilt and obligation for his foster father.
His uncle was astute though, having suspected Noto's origins and noticing his guarded manner when it come to dragon riders. He introduced his adopted son to one of those who commanded the search, and Notos was gladly taken in as a candidate. But Notos left without sorting out his mixed feelings, between wanting to become a dragonrider and his duty to the person that raised him.
