Name: Ngaran (Nn-GAR-an)
Age: 18 1/2 Turns
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Asexual.
Craft: Vintner.
Rank: Candidate and newly Journeyman.
History: Growing up a regular holder and the son of two equally obstinate parents, Ngaran had plenty of time to develop into what he is today. He was the only son of his parents and was given all the opportunities he needed to become a Vintner, since his father decided that it would be something good for him to try. Ngaran displayed aptitude for the career as well, and he took to it like a fish to water. His life before that had been horribly average and really not much to speak about, though he'd definitely go on about all of the people he tormented through the Turns of his childhood. When he got to the Vintner Hall, Ngaran soon accumulated a small number of cronies that he bossed around with all the alacrity of a military captain, quickly dominating a decent portion of the apprentices. He retired from his domineering business after he started taking more and more of an interest in the grapes and wines, and soon handed over the miniature empire to his closest ally. He walked the tables shortly before he was Searched, and he would up being found during a stroll through his grapes by a Blue that just wouldn't give up, no matter how much he refused to come. The dragon eventually convinced him that Weyr life would be just as much of an adventure as Vintner life, and so far, Ngaran hasn't been disappointed.
Appearance: One of the first things you'll notice about Ngaran is that he's big. Big as in tall, of course, and he's rather muscular for a Vintner. His hair is short, spiky, and dirty blond, with a few bright gold steaks here and there. Dark blue eyes glare out at pretty much anybody, and he's got somewhat of a square-shaped face. To put it bluntly, though, Ngaran is built like a tank, solid and earthshaking. He doesn't have any scars or distinguishing marks, besides from a notch on the left side of his chin from a victim who decided to fight back.
Personality: Ngaran is a bully, to put it simply. He's crude, rough, and rather mean, as well as horribly pigheaded. It's a wonder that he hasn't been strangled yet, as he's maddeningly infuriating to boot. Ngaran is most assuredly not the guy you want to tell your troubles to or anything, as he'll belittle you and probably punch you in the face for speaking to him. That's not to say he's just completely a brute, though--Ngaran is almost frightfully clever, though he turns it to less than pleasant purposes.
Though it may not seem like it, he does have some good qualities--Ngaran is rather crafty and inventive, as well as quite good at making wines. He is at his best when he's at work amongst the grapes and wines themselves, and at his worst when he's been away from them for a while. He gets irritable when he hasn't gone to his grapes in a while, and will often snap until he gets a taste of something that reminds him of them, be it a fine wine or something else that is related to them.
He's got several flaws, one of the most obvious being his stubbornness. He refuses to change his mind once he's got it set, and no amount of kicking in the face will get him to change it. He can be horribly oblivious and often refuses to acknowledge things that go against his beliefs or ideas, and if you don't side with him in an argument, then by the Red Star, you're Sharding wrong. He's obstinate, and has made pestering people into a fine art form, something that he prides himself on. Ngaran is also a very proud and arrogant guy, and has an ego the size of the Western Continent.
If caught in the right mood, however, Ngaran can be quite personable, and he knows when to turn on the charm to get what he wants. He can be a smooth operator when necessary, though he prefers to use brute force to get his way. Just think of him as a smiling axe--decent when he's at rest, vicious when he's at work.
Other: I'd love it if he were to get a dragon that could give him a taste of his own medicine, if he does get one.

Approved!
Just as a side note, though he would be allowed to verbally bully other candidates, if he got into physical brawls he would be jeopardizing his rank as candidate.
