Name: G'lin
Age: 48
Gender: Male
Rank:
Appearance:
G’lin is a muscular, dark-skinned man who stands at 5'11." He has a shaved head, but sports a mustache and bushy eyebrows. Clearly seen by the wrinkles along the outer ages of his eyes, G'lin is often laughing. As a matter of fact, it might be the rare person who doesn't picture him with his oft attired wide grin.
G'lin's every day attitude about clothing is that its only importance is for the sake of modesty and utility. He doesn't actually lack a proper understanding of modesty, but mostly disregards it, and so in summer months can often be found running around in sandals, shorts, and a sort of messenger-type back to carry whatever usable things of interest he has for the moment. He wears the same few outfits until they are better suited for rags, and can honestly say that he's been gifted more clothes by people than he's actually bought. He does, however, actually understand appearances and clothing and the like. He can and will pull together a more decent outfit on a day he's not either elbow deep in training, or dragon care, or just bumming about his own business (the three together which DO take the greatest percentage of his days).
Personality:
Bullet Point of Seen Behaviors/Perceptions
"On Task/Working"
Thorough-worker, demanding work of himself that goes above and beyond any given task.
Task-master, once he is given to a job, he doesn't *stop*, puts his all into it, and expects the same from others.
While working, extremely focused, losing most of his forgetful/clumsy/stuttering issues seen in his more relaxed moments.
"Off Task/Casual"
Gregarious, tends to instigate conversations just to see how many people he can get involved in them.
Often seems "else where" in thought and action, leading to often becoming lost in conversations, with an apparently flighty or random mindset, and with apparent clumsiness and forgetfulness.
Tends to stutter in speech on occasion, especially if not emotionally connected or extremely familiar with a subject at hand.
"General"
Tends to have a Holder's mentality still about many things in life.
Future-oriented mindset, always looking forward.
Family-oriented mindset (most family NOT being at the Weyr, and so most affections outside of the Weyr.)
If G'lin has been convinced to accept a task, the man will not rest until the job is complete, placing his entire focus on it. He is the person to call on if you have a chore that needed doing yesterday, but needs to be completed as if someone has poured their best moments into it. If he's not familiar with it, he *will* find a skillful way to get it done, or delegate it properly and turn to moment-by-moment hounding of the poor soul signaled out as apparently trustworthy and skillful enough to do his given task in his stead. No matter the task: manual labor or research based or otherwise, G'lin will view the job only as the "seed" and "center" of his project, moving constantly outwards from that point until time, energy, or someone in command stops him.
Resting and actually focused on where he is in both space and time, G'lin is gregarious in nature. He can and will form close bonds with individuals, but seems more to enjoy seeing just how many people, present and passerbys, he can pull into one central conversation. However an instigator he might be, G'lin isn't actually that great in following a large-scale conversation. The man is easily lost in a crowd, or at least trying to tend to so much going on at once that he can't follow a single line.
That isn't too surprising, G'lin in general seems to be a bit scatter-brained and forgetful. His general focus is *so* forward focused, in his mind he's already prepared. He's already into 'tomorrow' or 'the next job' and sometimes he forgets his body and the time hasn't caught up. He'll catch himself often enough, leading to several trips to go back and get something important, or self-conscious checking of the mirror, or the stuttering of words and sentences, but just as often he does not catch himself and is off without some preparation done, rambling on some odd subject, or clumsily managing his own movements.
Most often, his focus is on being with his family. Family is truly first to him, and else is peripheral. Family concerns are the only way he might intentionally leave a job half-done. One might argue that he does this daily with his duties as a dragonrider. Yes, he'll hurry and do all the tasks he has to get done, but with the majority of his family outside of the Weyr, including his beloved wife, this means G'lin is always trying to find ways to do those daily necessary tasks either as swiftly as possible or even in the comforts of "his own home." Sure, he does his job, and he'll be hanged before that job isn't done WELL, but he's not interested in putting additional time into those day-to-day tasks that somehow lose their importance in the eyes of all men.
