PLEASE NOTE: At age 20, he will only be able to stand for ONE TURN. If you wish to change this, make note.

Another small note, he would have been Searched in person, but that detail doesn't change his history much, I reckon.
^ I'm not sure what you mean...?
And I adjusted his age.

You have in his history that he received a letter telling him he was a candidate. He would have actually met a dragon and rider pair in order for him to be Searched. Does that make sense?
OH Thats what you meant. xD
I hadn't meant to make it sound like that. I meant for him to have stopped writing with his sister with him sending her a letter about it.

Name: Mirtal
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Orientation: Bisexual, but prefers boys.

Craft: Harper
Rank: Apprentice

Physical Description: Mirtal is on the short side of tall. He's about 5'8". His build could be compared to a very sad young tree. Thin and long legged and always leaning this way or that, horrible posture contributed by not minding much one way or another. He sports a handsome face, high cheekbones and a sharp chin complimented nicely by sandy brown eyes and a small scar on the cheek just below the right. All this topped by a usually messy tussle of wavy black hair.

Personality: A constant dreamer with about as much initiative as a runnerbeast has to to tilt its head and eat that bit of grass to the left. Mirtal can often be found lying down and watching the clouds or napping. Which, to him, is the best use of his spare time. There are few things on Pern that can get Mirtal motivated, a short list comprised majorly of screaming women and the deadly threat of Thread or being stepped on when he decides to lay across the hall.

Never the go-getter he'll still rouse himself to enjoy a good joke. One hardly sees Mirtal doing much besides sleeping, dreaming up fantasies of himself as a wingleader.
At times he can be motivated to do more than his usual because, ironically, he says he's too lavy, tired, or bored to refuse. Though its doubtful that thats always the case. Mirtal would be considered quite dead if he had no drive whatsoever.

Mirtal is an odd, quirky sort and very personable right after a good rest. He can be quite the socialite and easy to get along with. Neither demanding or all too whiny he mostly prefers to get things done himself and, when he does work, he works fast because the quicker he finishes, the quicker he doesn't have to do it anymore. Despite his emphasis on being lazy whenever possible, if he's working he can turn into quite the hypocrite.

History: His parents were always indulgent and let him get away with more than he ever should have. They were the driven sort, sure in their ways and mannerisms. They had two kids, Mirtal and his five year younger sister. She was always kinder, and determined to get Mirtal to help with the chores and housework she did otherwise alone or with the mother's help. Her lazy brother validated his not helping because of the large fish he miraculously caught for dinner. She, though, was the only person who believed him capable of anything. Because she'd seen him, when he's alone or not around anyone who knows him, working hard. If one were to ask him, its because none of the work he did for others or for himself was not required of him.

When he was 15 and she 10 Mirtal had left to the Harper Hall to learn music. She often wrote to him and asked him of his adventures there, and this correspondence continued till he was 18. It ended with a short, surprisingly happy letter that he'd been searched at the Harper Hall to be a Candidate and would be leaving for Ista Weyr.

Pets: N/A
Other/Talents: Eating quick and sleeping for impossibly long times for someone who isn't comatose. As well as a near narcoleptic ability to fall asleep whenever he wants.
