Character Name
Name: Wen
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Candidate: Yes
Craft/Rank: Guard
Appearance: The first thing anyone ever notices about Wen is he is short. At 5'1'' he not what one would consider guard material with his delicate looks, coppery tone skin, and long white blonde hair that reaches near mid back and kept in a braid. He has a thin upper lip, a full lower, heavy lidded eyes and pale blue grey eyes.
Wen identifies as male even if he occasional cross dresses. Female clothing tends to be his size and a more arrange of colors and provides a very easy disguise. The under things might be on a tad expensive but as long as he doesn't speak, he can bluff the best of them. Wen has worn feminine clothing for undercover busts.
Work otherwise is in uniform, full leathers and cotton to keep the leather from irritating skin. Wen tends to muted colors, brown, greys, and certain blues for work wear.
He has some rather nasty scars, nothing deep enough to restrict movement but from a bit below his armpit and nearly down his left side is roughen pitted skin from being dragged by a runner.
Personality: Wen is inconspicuous, unobtrusive little thing. He is quiet, relaxed, and waits often just out of sight for his superiors to finish and often startles the crap out of them. He is very quite on his feet, and tends to wear muted colors when on duty. He doesn't speak often, and knows when to hold his tongue.
Mischievous, he enjoys being a sneaky little thing and startling the crap out of people. He also tends to play mostly non harmful pranks, such as tilting his head quizzically and asking 'Weren't you suppose to be on the night shift with so and so today?" With the transfer the mischievous part has tone down some.
Diligent, Wen gets his work done. Perhaps a little latter then his much more muscle bound brethren but it is well done, with an attention to fine details and accuracy. Wen is going to focus so his work only needs to be done once.
Calm, Wen is short. It doesn't bother him that he is short. It puts him at a rather good advantage when in a fight because he can box someone's kidneys. He doesn't rouse to anger easily, and tends to get more amused than frustrate when handling drunks and other problems. It also gives him more range of clothing in his size.
Wen has trouble admitting he needs a break, or is sick, or any number of things because he should be able to keep to the schedule. He has shown up to work, red with fever and nearly hallucinating. He has taken other shifts till he has no free time and then his captain has to come in and fix it. Wen is telling himself to keep to Warden's schedule and enjoy his free time.
Distant, Wen comes across as guarded and cold. He isn't very talkative outside of work, and when he is it tends to be more teasing and amused at someone else's expense. He tends to keep to what needs to be said when on the job. Yammering and gossip is not very professional and he is really just not that interest in his co-workers life outside the job. The two current acceptations are Jemi and Cai. He can get downright cuddly with the pair.
Wen does have a few friends at work, they are all older veterans and while not much is discussed, they have a quiet companionship thing going on. He not overly picky who he works with, but he is rather picky about who he is friends with.
Pressure, Wen is very good at handling pressure. He just not good at knowing his limits. Injuries, Wen first response to an injury depends on the damage. With his leg, he looked at it, said ow, pushed a cloth against it and managed to get on his runner and back to the hold. Where he then threw up and went sort of numb. With his arm, he sort of poked it, noticed that it really needed stitches, clapped his hand around it and sort of walked to the healer and demanded he fix it.
History: Wen's family has been in the guard well before there was crack dust or the dragon watch. He is the only son of his father and his mother. HIs mother died in childbirth but he does have a younger half sister after his father got involved with Lennox and Marian, Jemi's parents when he was about fourteen. His little sister was born three turns after and named after his mother.
Wen considers his little half sister as his only blood related sibling. He does care for his sort of adopted family but it would make things weird between him and Jemi. While they do not have a actual sexual relationship, they are close and cuddly and sort of sharing a lover.
Wen and Jemi grew up with Cai, became friends and they ended up in separate professions. Jemi and Wen joined the guard while Cai went off to be a healer. They met up five turns back and friendship turned into lovers. So when Cai decided to transfer to Wardens, they followed.
Other stuff: He rides a variety of runner beasts in his job; he also knows how to care for them. He is skilled in archery, knife fighting, and hand to hand defense. His small size makes him unable to excel in offense and larger weaponry. Wen is left handed and tends to relying on throws for defense and timing to use momentum and balance against his opponent.
