Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Vennodren
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Craft: None
Rank: Candidate
Location: Western Weyr
Physical Description: Vennodren stands at a modest 5'11 and is lithe in build. He is fit but not overly muscled with the body type of a runner more than anything else. He has a rather impressive farmers tan and he thanks his ancestors for the tanning talent he possesses, much preferring to be two toned rather than sunburnt. His nose and cheeks have a light smattering of freckles thanks to the constant outdoor chores and activities, and his sandy blonde hair is fairly bleached by the sun most of the year. He wears it a bit long and usually in a low, short ponytail. He has hazel eyes and almost always has a bright, cheerful smile on his face.
Personality: If you're looking for a ray of sunshine on a dreary day, look no further than Vennodren. He's the kind to go out of his way to make someone smile and is always ready to crack a joke or cheer someone up. Despite his rather unfortunate luck where hatchings are concerned, Vennodren is always putting a bright spin on his twelve years as a Candidate. It bleeds over into other situations as well and Vennodren is always the one to put a positive spin on even the worst situations. He is a pacifist by nature, believing that the only reason for battle is when Thread falls. Words can solve problems just fine, thank you very much, and he is quick to forgive those that wrong him. Despite his kind and borderline doormat qualities, Vennodren knows what he wants out of life and doesn't stop at anything to get it. He has incredible focus and drive when he sets his mind to something and should anyone stand between him and what he wants...well...they might just get shoved out of the way!

Vennodren's trusting and 'everyone has good in them' mindset make him quite gullible. He is apt to believe anything he's told once, and sometimes even twice. He'll wise up if burned after interactions with less than savory characters, but it might take a few times before he remembers. He does have a bad memory when it comes to little details and will frequently walk into a room, forget what he was going to do, and have to retrace his steps before his memory is jogged. He's taken to writing on his hands and arms for important things that he needs to remember. Now that his age is starting to reach the end of the limit that the Western Weyr has set for Candidates, Vennodren has become much harder on himself in terms of what he is trying to achieve. He knows that a hatchling doesn't know how much work he's put in to getting a dragon of his own, that the selection process is purely based on who is his and who he belongs to in return, yet he can't help but feel that if he works a little harder, volunteers for the undesirable chores, stays up late studying, putting in the extra work that really doesn't matter to a dragon, he just might get picked the next time around. His parents are both successful in their careers, his brothers and sisters are as well...he can't fail now, he has nothing to fall back on!
Positive Trait List Optimistic, benevolent, driven.
Negative Trait List Gullible, forgetful, holds himself to high (impossible?) standards.
History: Vennodren was born to two dragonriders past their prime into an already fairly large family. As the youngest of five by twelve years, Vennodren essentially grew up as an only child with all of his siblings already on their way or well on their way into their craft. None of them followed in their parents footsteps as far as dragonriding went, but Vennodren was drawn to the massive beasts from day one. He loved playing under the watchful gaze of his mother's green and his father's blue dragon and when he was Searched at the tender age of 14 he couldn't have been happier. He's been at the Western Weyr ever since. It's been quite a long time since he began his journey and with each hatching his hopes are raised, then dashed as he is yet again ignored by the dragons. Surely there's one for him out there somewhere...right? He keeps his spirits high even though there's only four years left for his candidacy, hoping that his dragon will find him soon.
Other: Not that I can think of.
