Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Ionan
Age: 14
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Craft: N/A
Rank: Weyrbrat
Location: High Reaches
Physical Description: Ionan is slender in build, and tall for his age. His hair is often found falling into his eyes when he's forgotten to comb it back. This, however, is rare. Though Ionan is young, he seems to have a flair for looks. When not participating in chores, he may be found fixing his hair. Brushing off dust from his trousers. Picking stray hair from his tunic. The thing that stands out most about Ionan is--that he's clean.

He's the sort that will not stand waiting more than a day to bathe; and when he does, he spends enough time that his hands are properly wrinkled.

Ionan has large brown eyes, framed by thick lashes. His hair is golden blond, and sometimes hides his eyes from view. Freckles lightly line his nose and cheeks.
Personality: Ionan, for a young boy, tends to be egotistical. When using the word 'egotistical' when concerning Ionan, it isn't meant that he believes he's talented. He knows he is. Whether it be something Ionan's done for turns--or something he's just decided to try, he will be the best at it. (If he feels he is not, expect a loud, obnoxious event in which he bemoans his flaws and carries on about how he should have done better--until someone--most likely his older brother, reassures him that he will improve with practice.) He's an active sort. He likes to constantly look busy, even if he isn't, really.

Oh, he moans and groans about chores with the rest of them! Perhaps more. Ionan, though careful about his appearance, prefers to leave everything else to the others his age. He doesn't want to clean. He doesn't want to help. He wants nothing more than to be able to spend time with his older sister, Iona. Or to keep to himself. This weyrbrat is often reclusive (with the absence of his sibling) and quiet. Unless someone provokes him into speaking; and they may be surprised. Ionan can be long winded, hoping to bore those around him enough that they will go away; there may be some truth in the blather, but he hopes those who listen won't be clever enough to piece those truths together. Not exactly shy, this weyrbrat prefers to be left alone.

Ionan feels he is deviously clever. He's as mischevious as the next weyrbrat, though he is more quiet when going about it. He prefers pestering others to pranks, instead focusing on mental bothers rather than physical. Oh, was he supposed to be there? He must have forgotten. Oh, so that was who he was supposed to take the tubers to. He'd thought they meant someone else. Oops.

You never want to give Ionan marks and ask him to specifically purchase certain items. This weyrbrat may not be likely to steal marks, however, he has a tendency to believe he has found something the purchaser would like more than what they originally requested. Did someone ask for a redfruit? He found bubblypies for the same price! He has no moneysense; if given marks, he would spend them as soon as recieve them.

Ionan doesn't want the nicest candidate of the turn award. He may be generous (depending on the person), but he doesn't like to be called out on it. He would rather it remain unknown who's shared their lunch with a younger child in the creche, who's shown someone how to peel tubers properly. Though often kind, like most teenagers, Ionan believes he must behave as those around him believe he behaves. If when taking cues from adults and others around him, he feels that he is expected to misbehave, he will.

Ionan prefers the company of females! Oh no, he doesn't think of them that way. Not yet. Well, maybe a little. No, he prefers the company of females simply because he feels he can relate to them better. He has spent long hours with his older sister and enjoys her company. Whether he enjoys the company of girls his age as much--that remains to be seen.

Beware when confiding in Ionan. He delights in spreading rumors and does not limit himself to spreading them about people he knows. He may start one about himself. Not always one to paint himself or others in the best light, it may be best to proceed with caution when conversing with this weyrbrat.

Ionan, though shy and rather reclusive when spending time with those he does not know, tends to be possessive. Not of objects, no. As a weyrbrat, he has few things he could call his own. Of people. This is most often noted when he is conversing with his older brother.

Ionan isn't sure he'd be willing to share his brother with a dragon.

This stems from a long lasting fear of being left alone. Ionan, for as long as he can remember, has followed his brother as if they were attached by the hand. With the change that came once he was old enough to become a candidate, he had to adjust. With some difficulty. He struggled for a period of time, fretting over whether Tarel would Impress; fretting over what would happen if he did.
Maybe not a talent, but Ionan feels he is especially skilled at fibbing. Except when talking to his older brother, whom he feels is a walking lie detector.

Ionan loves to draw. Whether it be the dragon that'd been snoozing long enough for him to make a rough sketch, or sketches of the scenery, Ionan will make the attempt to impress his brother.

Though Ionan is often reclusive when seperated from his brother, if encouraged to speak, he will ramble on any given subject, fly off on tangents, and intentionally attempt to lose any listener in the conversation. He does this loudly and quite rapidly.
History: Ionan was born to High Reaches Weyr. He was given to the creche once he was old enough to be weaned, and grew among the other weyrbrats. His parents showed enough interest to provide small trinkets on his birthingday each turn, but he was never particularly close to them. He instead attached himself to his older brother, Tarel. Tarel learned of their relation soon after coming in contact with the younger boy. With the decision to let it be known that they were siblings, the two spent long hours together through the turns.

Tarel was eight turns older, but the two remained close even after Tarel became old enough to stand for Impression. He encouraged Ionan to find a craft he was particularly interested in.

He didn't find one, but he was kept busy enough once he grew old enough to be a candidate.

When Tarel impressed, at first Ionan resented the time his older brother had to spend taking care of his dragon and participating in lessons. As time went on, however, he started to bond with the green; once Tyalith was old enough not to need fed every few hours, he was allowed to help in bathing her.

What he didn't like, a few turns later, was when T'rel kept disappearing to see some girl. Tyila, T'rel had gushed, was the prettiest, kindest, smartest woman on all Pern. Ionan had to hear all about it. Stupid T'rel and his stupid girl. There wasn't much time for the brothers to spend together, because Thread came, and then, so did Tyila and every other person in the vicinity. Ugh.
Other: Character is attached to T'rel, who will be posted up as soon as finished with both!

Candidate Specific Questions
Do you want them to have an official Search RP? No need (heart)
Do you understand they will age every passing year regardless if you're there to RP them or not? Yes
Do you want them to have a possible Stands Impression? No

Close to being ready!

His history is pretty short for being 14 Turns. Is it true that he has no friends at all? What did he do with himself when his brother was a Candidate and then Impressed?

You say he doesn't feel he could share his brother with a dragon, but his brother clearly already has a dragon. Perhaps you could go into detail about what he was like/thoughts now that T'rel has Tyalith?

Does he like Tyalith? Does he still have a close bond with T'rel now that he's in a relationship with a girl/weyrmate?

Furthermore, what does he think about now that Thread's returned and his brother has to fight it? And himself, if he Impresses? Just a few things to round out and he should be set.
