Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Brindi
Age: 14
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual with a healthy respect for women (fear)
Craft: Miner
Rank: Apprentice
Location: High Reaches
Physical Description: With tan skin, wide brown eyes, freckles, and permanently messy sun bleached hair; a reddish brown with lighter red streaks, Brindi wouldn't look out of place in fields with runners and herdbeasts. This young, once hopeful wherhandler, looks younger than he is, but has a well defined body from working in the mines. He is tall and well built; not too thin, but not large either. Brindi doesn't seem to mind what he wears, however. He doesn't seem to mind at all being dirty, and usually is. He isn't the best sort if you want someone who understands the purpose of cleanliness. Stains adorn most of his clothing, especially those caused from going down in the mines; at least until he came to High Reaches. He often has smudges of dirt on his face and hands as well.
Personality: Personality:Brindi is a boy stuck in that childhood phase where he's between deciding whether females are frightening creatures, or the best thing on Pern since dragons. Despite being fourteen turns old, the boy seems to have just accepted the need for responsibility, as he has taken his father's place in the Mines. He has the energy and tastes of a youngster, avoiding most females, participating in trades and rough and tumble games with the younger set at the camp.

As a small boy, Brindi lost contact with his older siblings. He remembers them fondly, but the memories he has of them are few. He resented his oldest brother for leaving the camp when Brindi was ten turns old, because naturally, Brindi thinks that if his brother had stayed, he wouldn't have been made to take over his father's place in the mine. The young man isn't known for his memory, and while he's terrible with names, he recognizes faces with ease.

He is forgetful about other things, as well. Oh, did you want Brindi to clean? He forgot. He got distracted. He started to clean, but he found something interesting. He'll get around to it tomorrow. And yet, when tomorrow comes, he'll tell you that it escaped his mind once more.

He can be considerate. If reminded often enough, he does something and even more. Did you ask him to scrub the floors? He set the table as well. Maybe you asked him to peel tubers; his least favorite food, and he'll make sure you know it; he'll ask to help with dessert as well.

Brindi is one of those young men who never really did consider (and perhaps never will) himself an adult until he was forced to. When his father was made to retire, Brindi found himself expected to fill the man's shoes. He, with the help of his family, worked to save enough marks to purchase a wher egg. He never managed it to purchase it. He was Searched from the minor hold and brought to High Reaches.

As for his behavior towards females, Brindi never spent much time with them. His mother was usually busy teaching his two sisters (she never had much time for anyone, outside of telling Brindi's father what to do). She reminded Brindi of an angry wherry, most of the time. Not being around many women in the mining camp, he began to expect this behavior. Are all women really so bossy?

Positive Trait List cheerful, judges based on personal experience (could be positive or negative depending on circumstances), considerate, family oriented
Negative Trait List Irresponsible, immature, forgetful, assumes things, judges people based on own experience
History: History: Once Brindi considered himself one of many; his older siblings however, left the camp when he was fairly young. He has little contact with them, for he has no firelizard to take messages to them, and only sees them if they care to visit during a Gather Day. Their camp is really a small hold a ways away from High Reaches hold. Now he considers himself one of three, and the oldest of the set. He followed his father's footsteps into the minercraft, while his younger sisters; well, they preferred their mother's former craft. Stirring the young man's love for food, his mother had been trained in the bakercraft.

Brindi's childhood was uneventful. His father, Brind, had Impressed a wher when he was a young boy. Brindi began his minecraft apprenticeship at the age of thirteen, but never put much thought into it. He was a people pleaser; his father wanted him to follow him in the craft. Once Brindi reached a certain age, however, he was forced to realize that his father was growing old. The man was becoming too weak to enter the Mines, and his son was expected to take his place. Brindi found his freedom stripped from him; he was expected to purchase a wher egg, and Impress it when it hatched. He was never able to. He was Searched by a bluerider, and quickly agreed. The chance to Impress a dragon, rather than a Wher, the boy jumped at it.

And though the young man was reluctant to take on responsibilities candidates were given; peeling tubers, cleaning... Yuck! He seems to have adjusted.

About eight months ago, Brindi was sent word that his older brothers had perished trying to protect their farms from Thread. He grieves them and has made it a point to keep in contact with his remaining family.

Candidate Specific Questions
Do you want them to have an official Search RP? No need
Do you understand they will age every passing year regardless if you're there to RP the or not? Yes
Do you want them to have a possible Stands Impression? No
- - - > Please keep in mind that Stands Impressions are very rare. This means that not everybody will get an opportunity to have a surprise Impression, and you lower your chances of being picked by a dragonet. Given the character is not ICly an official Candidate, they will need a reason to be at the Weyr of their choice long-term, or at least for every Hatching.

Tweaked!

Approved. gaia_star

Just know that he won't be able to forget his chores and tasks as a Candidate, or shirk them. If he get in trouble often enouh, or thought to be unable to handle fulfilling basic assignments or tasks, he could have his Candidacy revoked.

[I am assuming you're not writing him to that level of forgetfulness, but do keep it in mind.]
