Name: Rundanrul
Age: 14
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: Weyrbrat
Rank: Candidate
Location: Western
Physical Description: Rundanrul is a skinny young boy, all arms and legs and awkwardness. He's a beanpole though, already standing at 5'8 with years left to go. His naturally tanned skin doesn't change much when exposed to the sun and he never burns thanks to his olive complexion. He has dark, curly hair (he says its brown, others argue it's black) and hazel eyes, and he always wears a golden necklace that belonged to his grandfather. His clothing is generally always a bit too small for him as he seems to grow overnight, his pants and sleeves exposing a few extra inches of arm and leg.
Personality: Rundanrul is an outgoing young man, eager to make friends and have fun. He loves to joke and tease - especially with pretty girls - and finds himself dancing out of trouble fairly often. His charismatic ways help him smooth talk himself out of lots of situations, but sometimes he finds himself running from those he can't convince to let him off the hook. Roguish and fearless, Rundanrul is still caught between enjoying his youth and becoming an adult. He can be childish if he doesn't get his way, resorting to old tactics like spreading rumors or coming up with silly revenge plots like spilling a drink on someone's pants to make it look like they wet themselves.

Rundanrul likes to have fun and as such isn't very good at focusing on his studies or doing his chores. He finds them boring and wants to do nothing more than watch the different Wings do their drills. Work like that would be much more fun once he gets a dragon companion! He dreams of Impressing a bronze or a brown, thinking blues and greens are far too common and not nearly as important as their larger kin. He loves to be the center of attention and wants a dragon that will allow him to be a Wingleader or some other kind of well-known rider.
Positive Trait List Charming, fun-loving, energetic, creative
Negative Trait List Childish, slacker, crafty, better-than-thou
History: Rundanrul was born at Western Weyr to a family originally from the southern islands. They had moved there to care for Rundanrul's ailing grandfather, a dragon rider who had fallen ill the past year and had never quite recovered due to his age. Rundanrul spent his early life at the knee of his grandfather and his beautiful brown dragon, listening to stories of flying and training and the joy of having your soulmate with you at all times. Before his grandfather's passing, Run promised him that he'd follow in his footsteps and become a dragon rider just like him. His grandfather had given him his prized possession, a golden necklace he and his dragon had found many years ago, before his illness took him. Run has worn that necklace every day since then as a reminder to himself to keep his promise.

A year before Run could officially become a Candidate, Thread returned to Pern. While his family was safe, Run saw the suffering of those that had been affected and it only solidified his desire to start to learn what it took to Impress a dragon. With a promise to his dear grandfather and the chance to become well-known for his noble fight against Thread, Rundanrul joined the other Candidates on his 14th Turn. He hasn't been among their ranks for long - he hasn't even had a chance to Stand yet - but he's loving every single second of his new life in the Weyr.

Recently he stumbled upon a Firelizard egg that had been strangely placed in an empty flower box. There were no Firelizards around, nor anyone claiming it was theirs, so Run took it with him back to his dorm. He was beyond pleased when it hatched a few days later in a stunning bronze flit, and he believes it is a gift from his grandfather and a hint at what's to come at a future Hatching.
Other: As he gets older Run will start to get more invested in his own fame rather than helping others and will pass it off as wanting to do good in the world/trying to make the memory of his grandfather live on. I'd totally be open to his (hopeful XD) eventual partner feeding into that or trying to stop him from walking down a path of greed and self-importance. ALL THE OPTIONS!

Approved!

Just one minor note, mostly to avoid any possible future disappointment. LOL I can't guarantee what he'll Impress, if he Impresses, since we kind of write dragons, and then see which ones fit best. So he could wind up with anything like you suggested below, or he could wind up with something or someone completely different.

Mostly just want to let you know so, if he does Impress someday, and it's not one of those two types, you're not disappointed. Sometimes the hatchlings just read a profile and go THAT ONE for all sorts of reasons, or we see some other match or fit that would work.

Don't worry, no disappointment from me XD HIM on the other hand....>W> -rubs hands together-

His dragon will definitely shape him and help him down one path or the other even if he/she has no actual intent on doing so -nodnod- A dragon less concerned with his morals/huge ego would probably just feed into that aspect of him XD But that all remains to be see if he Impresses!
