Hi. ovo~
Mostly I want to just check that his 'skeleton' is acceptable before I move onto actually fleshing him/the profile out! So um, crits for any glaringly obvious flaws would be great.


Name: Tyalar
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Craft/Rank:Apprentice Leatherworker (Harnesses & Saddles, mostly)
History:Youngest son of 3 from Mom & Dad. Older brother homosexual, moved to a faraway Weyr to get away from the persecution of his parents and Oldest brother, both who are very traditional. Grew up in one of the Benden holds. Mom defining figure, Dad very passive. Working with leather since a young age. Family left when dragons were attacked as most of the business was done by riders and mom firm in her beliefs that new-fangled technology was not as good as dragons and also where would they get business from now?! Is not on good terms with his oldest brother, and got on well with the brother that left. Secretly thinks that Atypical dragons are perfect and identifies with them because he was sickly as a child. Has dreams of becoming a dragon-rider but knows that now they’re refugees in Trine it won’t happen because his parents are somewhat ‘sniffy’ about Atypical dragons, though they are pleased that there aren’t too many other leatherworkers and that the others seem to specialise in trinkets and tools rather than harnesses and saddles. Insists on going to watch any/all hatchings (just in case), though he knows the chances are remote having not attended a touching or being down on the sands. Got flak whilst younger for being 'frail', 'girly', and so tries to be as boyish/manly as possible. Awaits with great pleasure the day he can grow a beard.
Description: Dark skin, Dark hair, green eyes. Somewhat babyish face/late bloomer but beginning to bulk out a little. Arms/hands are dye-splattered and scarred. Short hair.
Personality:
+ Controlled
(In terms of hiding his real feelings/reaction about the subject. Perhaps not the best title word, but Decietful gives the wrong idea. Capable of controlling his reactions/ect.)
+ Dedicated
(re: work, work ethic. Likes to see things through to the end)
+ Empathetic
(easily identifies with people and understands where their views come from)
+ Flexible
(easily adjusts to change, used to acting in different ways around different people)
- Easily Swayed
(Goes along easily with whoever is the loudest/most dangerous speaker. A follower, not a leader. Rarely stands up to others or for himself, though has gotten in trouble more than once for protecting others.)
- Indecisive
(Follower, again. Struggles to make large desicions from himself due to being told what to do constantly by his mother. See the issue regarding dragons, particularly.)
- Emotional
(Whilst skilled at hiding it, feels things very deeply and struggles to judge people for doing bad things because his thoughts immediately go to: what must have happened to them for them to be hurting that badly? On the flipside if he's not faced with the actual person doing it he can become overly protective and/or irrationally angry at the perpetrator. )
- Cautious
(Doesn't trust easily - sympathising with people means he often hears about the worst of people, and experiences lend to him not being 'himself' around many people.)
= Fidgety
(Struggles to stay entirely still - even when working tends to be humming or foot tapping)
= Musical
( Tanning often requires a lot of focus so he can't fidget with limbs, so he hums or sings; this and an appreciation for the Harpers has led him to be surprisingly musical. Whilst he can't play any instrument he has a good voice (yet to break, however) and can repeat most tunes having only heard them once or twice.)
Other: Nothing as yet~
