Craft/Rank: Apprentice Metalsmith, candidate

History: He was born and bred in Malvren Weyr. As the child of one of the dragonriders, he didn't really know which one. Just a father he may have passed or done favors for without knowing. He wasn't claimed as most weyrbrats aren't and he grew up under the tutelage of kitchen hands and other workers. He grew up along side Dragonriders and Wherhandlers alike. Though he held no preference. He did listen to the talk around the Weyr. About revolution. He listened to the gossip and heard about losing Queens and talk of a revolution. Of the Wherhandlers being tired of the hierarchy. He mostly just stuck with his friends in being a troublemaker and having fun where he could.

During any upsets that happened, he tended to be scarce. When talk of revolution came, he could only notice that it made everyone nervous and there were many whispers and hidden conversations that he was nevr privy too. He was considered "too young" whenever he asked so he just went on with his life.

When the revolution became a reality, he hid during the fighting. Hiding with several people together while the fighting and bloodshed took place. When it was over and Malvren was taken over, he and others were forced to choose a side. Not knowing what would happen if he picked wrong. He chose the Revolutionists side. Though it was a choice made in fear he didn't regret it once things started to settle down and people started to build their lives around this new idea. He started to agree with the revolutionists. Dragons were necessary yes but they didn't need to be held to higher standards and above all. He began to believe that Whers were just as useful if not more and was essentially brainwashed from what he had grown up with.

He also began to look down at the atypicals. Seeing them as small and weak. It was something he hoped that he if ever became a dragonrider not to impress.

Description: Tall, about 6'0" with a strong upper body but not disproportionate. He has strong hands and is quite fast for his build. He had dark brown hair that lightens to light brown, or even blonde in the sun, yet has a grey patch right on his temple. Something every male in his family has. He has some trouble keeping his weight down as he comes from bigger men. He has dark brown eyes and a beard that is already starting to grow out. Right now it's simply scruff but if left alone it'll grow into a thick beard like his father's. His skin is an olive tone that tans to a dark brown in long sun exposure, but usually turns dark red right before that. He has a deeper voice and though he can appear fierce, he has a very goofy smile, showing that he can be a kind kid. He has a tattoo on his left forearm of a flit wrapped around itself as if it was asleep.

Personality: In a few short words... He's an inconsiderate a*****e. He doesn't like authority and doesn't like to listen when he thinks he's right. It causes a lot of friction between others and himself. He works with the Metalsmithers because they are hard men like him, though he is still learning and has trouble believing he is wrong at all. He likes to take charge of situations and he doesn't always know best, though he carries the confidence to fool anyone that he was right all along.

Though he is an a*****e. He does have a softer side. Usually he doesn't show it much and he may not seem like the kind of guy to have any kind of "side" other than a jerk. But he can be kind. He has been known to actually care about a person or two. Even a girl or two. He also doesn't mind animals all that much. Pets don't seem to bother him, at all and he has even thought about having one himself.

Along with being a bit of a softy on the inside. He has a "schadenfreude" sense of humor. He finds many inappropriate things funny. Sure maybe not at the time, but eventually, he'll laugh about it. He happens to have a loud laugh and a very recognizable one. He also has a goofy smile. Something that his mother claims makes her remember when he was nothing more than a child. He seems younger when he smiles and it might be why he has more of a sneer or a smirk on his face than a smile usually.

He has little hobbies of collecting worthless gemstones. something he's always done and now with working with the metalsmithers, it's easier to find. Because Malvren is right on the beach, he can be often down there, finding sea shells and watching the waves. He has thought sometimes of going out on a boat and trying his hand at fishing but he never found the time or the energy to really try it. His other little hobbies include really people watching. He likes to watch others move about tasks. Paying attention if he finds it interesting and often wondering if he could do it himself.

Other: He received the tattoo after a few Holdless began to live in the Weyr and it was done when he was very drunk on wine snuck from the kitchens by him and some other brats. He chose a flit as he had never had one before and found them to be quite cute but it had hurt so bad that he had left it uncolored despite the availability and the slight laughing of the man doing the tattoo. He does regret it now but there is no way to get rid of it. And because of this... He isn't much for gorging himself on wine... Much

Thank you! I'm trying to base him on my brother and he's got a tattoo on his arm. smile

Now for his history... I'm having some trouble with working it. How long has it been since the revolution? He's 18 now and he'd have been a Weyrbrat. so I'm having trouble figuring out how he would have played out in the revolution itself

Looks good to me! =D
