Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Ladellan (Del)
Age: 18
Sex: male
Sexual Orientation: heterosexual
Craft: none
Rank: Candidate
Location: cothold in Western Hold

Physical Description: Standing at about 6'1" tall, Ladellan weighs roughly 180 lbs. His tall frame is nicely muscled from a combination of exercise and hard work. Green-grey eyes express his every emotion, no matter how hard he tries to hide them. Short, light brown hair crowns his head, although in the right light it can look almost blond. Laugh lines can be seen forming around his sensuous mouth, which is usually grinning out of his tanned face. Not always, though... his scowls can be fierce!

Ladellan's hands are large, with fingertips that seem squarish. There's a faint scar on his right arm, acquired Turns ago in a fight, and another scar on the back of his left thigh from a simple accident. Despite his size, he can move rather quickly when he wants to, though usually he tries to be careful not to hurt anyone or anything.

Personality: Ladellan has something of a "hero complex". That is, he's always ready to rush to someone's rescue, and save the day. Usually, this has been helpful, although there have been a few times that he's discovered that the one he was helping wasn't the victim (that's caused some problems), and there was one incident where the person didn't want his help. This habit of his has caused many to think that he's rash and careless. However, he can be rather down to earth (or down to Pern, as the case may be). Talk to him, and you may discover that he can be more serious, reasonable, and sensible than you'd originally thought.

Del also tries to see things from another person's point of view, and tries to see the bigger picture behind supposedly small issues, though these aims are not always successful. He's fiercely protective, and extremely loyal to his family and those who have earned his friendship. He has a strong inner drive, pushing himself to always do better.

He has a bit of a sentimental streak, and can be rather sensitive at times (especially when there's a girl involved). Naturally, he's always willing to meet girls. It doesn't matter to him whether they're pretty or not. He prefers to look for personality and humor over beauty... although having good looks never hurts, in his opinion! Yet, he prefers to keep his personal life private, as much as possible. Although he's used to being stared at (he knows that he's good lookin'!), he'd rather that no one dug any deeper than what he's willing to show. There won't be many that he'd be willing to share more with.

Positive Trait List loyal, chivalrous, sensible
Negative Trait List stubborn, guarded, vain

History: Coming from a family of farmers, Ladellan grew up being the middle child. With one older brother to inherit the land, he was given the freedom to think of doing something else with his life. When his little sister was born, he showed how protective he could be, trying to keep her from harm. As he grew older, he decided that that's what he wanted to do: protect people. With dreams of becoming a guard for a major hold, Del began practicing and exercising every evening after his work was done for the day. He wasn't very good at first, and early on he ended up tripping backwards and landing on one of his father's tools, which resulted in a shallow gash on the back of his left leg. Thankfully, it hadn't hit the muscle, so once he healed he had only a scar to show for it.

One day when he was twelve, Ladellan went to help his sister, who was being bullied by an older boy. Much to his surprise, the other boy pulled a knife on him, and managed to score him on the arm before he could pull out his own blade. Fortunately, his father arrived in time to keep anyone else from getting hurt... especially since Del was ready to slice this guy up and leave him in the infirmary. He was furious for sevendays afterwards... what kind of coward brings a knife with him to harrass a little girl? After that, he kept a closer watch on his sister, and increased his nighly training to hone his reflexes.

Things were mostly quiet around the farm, though... especially after that last incident. Apparently, the other youths in the area had decided that he wasn't someone that they were willing to anger, although there were always a few who didn't mind the challenge. However, nothing else of real interest happened until Thread made it's grand (and disastrous) reappearance. He was eighteen, however, before a dragon arrived and selected him as a potential candidate for the Weyr. For Del, it was perfect... what better way to protect everyone, than from the back of a dragon? This would be better than being a guard!
