Rider History: Born in the Weyr to a callous mother but a distant, doting father, T'ren grew up as a rather strong hearted weyrbrat with a penchant for causing mischief. His father was the rider of a brown dragon, and his mother a green- and as a child, nothing made T'ren more proud than to boast about his supposed rider heritage. His father often lavished him with gifts around his birthing day (or other holidays), but never initiated much of a relationship. T'ren treasured the gifts he was given immensely, and saw his real father as an idol to be looked up to from afar, and his footsteps to be followed in.
T'ren thrived much the way any weyrbrat might. He grew up rather lazy due to hiding, lying, and shirking chores within the weyr whenever possible; he never quite grew out of these childish habits, though he likes to think he has. He stood for four impressions, and was sixteen turns before he finally impressed a dragon and become a rider himself. (Though T'ren wouldn't have known what to do had he never impressed- he felt himself almost destined by his heritage to do so.)
Rider Personality: As a compulsive liar, T'ren is somewhat of an enigma to people in the Weyr that know him. He lies when he thinks he can get away with it, and often for no reason at all. He has quick tongue and wit, but a lazy attitude; while he takes his duties seriously enough, he's no stranger to weaseling his way out of work and dumping it on others when he can. Yet, despite his lousy work ethic, the man is an incredibly cheery sort and enjoys being friends with as many people as he can (who all have conflicting stories about who, exactly, T'ren says he is).
He can however be passive-aggressive and mean-spirited when things do not go his way.
He has a love of Klah and a love of stews, and regularly wanders to the kitchens to snack and converse with anyone in the process (literally, and usually while chewing. His manners are atrocious and have never improved). He makes bets with his peers over just about any challenge; he enjoys gambling immensely and would never hesitate to enter a game of chance.
Rider Appearance: The first idea that comes to mind is that T'ren is very brown. His skin is naturally a light tan, and his hair is a very dark, rich chocolate color; his eyes are umberish and watery and have become somewhat farsighted as he's gotten older. He has a large birthmark on his cheek and again on his knee (which he swears looks just like a dragon, and will show to anyone who dare inquires), and various moles and freckles spread out across his body.
T'ren is somewhat tall at around 5'7. He's an all around average guy, and the truth of the matter is that he isn't particularly well built or devilishly handsome (though he would argue otherwise). In actuality, T'ren is stocky for his height and has a wide barrel chest; he's got large feet and large hands, and goofy ears that stick out awkwardly from the sides of his head (often being teased that they're headknobs and not ears). His face is wide with high cheekbones and a thick, strong jaw- and it's adorned with a flat, broad nose. His hair is short, but thick; wiry and absolutely untamable. It frequently chooses its own direction on a daily, sometimes even hourly basis.
