Appearance
[Image: d558152dd3d580812dd427eb6c40ac00.jpg]
Eyes: Warm brown, and almond shaped set beneath dark eyebrows that add to the expressiveness of her eyes. Especially talented at looking cross.

Hair: Darker auburn that looks brown in most lighting conditions, but bright sun brings out a reddish sheen. She keeps it cut short enough to help her pass as a man.

Height: 5'10"

General Appearance: Tall and lean, Cazan has a generally androgynous appearance accentuated by her short hair cut and her rather modest and easy enough to hide breasts. She has an athletic build from a combination of dedication to her craft and her inability to stay still for long. Her hands are rough though she tries to use balms to keep them from being too calloused. When she does put time into her appearance she can be rather feminine, but her chronic resting bitch face during those occasions tends to keep people away.

Dressing Style: Cazan has always enjoyed masculine attire, in addition to helping her achieve her goals, it just always felt right. She enjoys pants, fine button up shirts, dress jackets, decorative scarves, and hats when she's dressing up for herself. Usually she can be found in work clothing; sturdy pants, a well made shirt, vest, well worn long leather gloves, a belt with smaller tools, wool cap, and a small scarf that she uses to mop up sweat or wipe her hands. She has glued hair to her face in the past when her brother refused to shave, but she makes him help with that (or more frequently just makes him shave). She also shaves her face to remove any peach fuzz and small mustache hairs that would further differentiate herself from her brother.

Cazan is capable of wearing a dress, owns at least one nice one for dinner parties, but doesn't enjoy it and is always distant and quiet when forced to wear one for social occasions. To help distance herself from her brother's appearance on those occasions she tends to make an effort to appear even more feminine with makeup, jewelry, and finely crafted dress gloves that she made herself her brother made for her.
Personality
[Image: 73d5d106c6beb6d58e1e8721bec12b09.jpg]
General Character Traits: Cazan has always been a tomboy with a self assured stubborn streak. She's determined and tenacious, clever enough to try and find unorthodox ways to achieve her goals, bold enough to give those plans a try, and sneaky enough to pull it off. She can get too caught up in her goals though, and is prone to tunnel vision, hyperfocusing on what she wants to the point that she forgets to take a break and relax and live a little. A workaholic as a result, she's abandoned thoughts of romance not because she isn't interested, but because she's more interested in her work for the moment.

She's friendly enough when she does manage to get her eyes off of work, and Cazan even has a habit of flirting with pretty girls while disguised as her brother to keep up appearances. If anything comes out of the flirting she just arranges a meeting time later and sends her brother out on a date. She enjoys feeling in control of her life, and while surprises and changes to her plans can irritate her, she is generally resilient and given more towards optimism than pessimism.

Habits/Mannerisms: Cazan cannot keep her hands still. When she's bored or thinking, she has a habit of spinning small tools across her fingers. When she doesn't have tools in hand she drums her fingers or picks up small objects without thinking to fiddle with them instead.

Opinions: These can be kept short and sweet; a sentence will suffice.
Threadfall Theory: She doesn't know enough about it to have an opinion really.
Stealing/Kidnapping: Well kidnapping people sounds awful, but she's glad that they've stopped.
Weryrleader S'kef: N/A
Firelizards: They're cute and interesting.
Women's loss of honourifics: What? Why? If a man can have an honourific she should be able to have one too, it's just a name.
Return North: Hopefully it's good for business.

[This section is optional]
Likes:
Freedom: Feeling in control of her own life.
Craftsmanship: Making things and the immense satisfaction and pride that brings.
Recognition: She adores the validation from receiving praise, but her favorite is when someone compliments her skills as herself and not as her brother.

Dislikes:
Stillness: Cazan hates holding still, there's so much she can be doing if she moves around, and if she's not moving she feels awkward and off balance.
Interruption: She dislikes distractions and being interrupted, when she's in a groove the last thing she wants is to leave before she's done. She will even forego sleep to finish something she's in the middle of.
Silly restrictions: Being told she cannot do something that she thinks she can do. It almost guarantees she will try to do it or at least think about how she could try and get away with it.

Strengths:
Quick Thinking: She's adaptable and quick on her feet after a lot of practice pretending to be her brother and having to cover for him and fill in gaps. When trouble is brewing she's usually able to nimbly maneuver her way through it and keep herself together up until she's alone.
Independent: Even though she enjoys and desires validation from others she's fine doing her own thing and is able to appreciate her work on her own merits.
Self confident: She is willing to take calculated risks, and doesn't tend to focus on fear and uncertainties (except when it comes to her personal life).

Flaws:
Workaholic: Cazan works to distract herself from everything, from how lonely she can be to how anxious she is about the thought of landing a husband and her life ending as she knows it. She doesn't know how to relax and feels lost and uncomfortable when she doesn't have a task to focus on.
Tunnel Vision: When she's focused she has a tendency to latch on and forget about other things going on around her. This happens to worries she fixates on and to tasks she's in the middle of. She frequently skips meals and has to snack at odd hours to make up for it if she's not pulled away from her work by someone at meal time.
Difficulty Delegating: If you want something done right you should do it yourself. Cazan gives herself so much extra work this way. She has difficulty trusting others to get stuff done to her satisfaction.
Proud: She has trouble asking for help or admitting when she's made a mistake in an area she feels she should be proficient in. Instead she tries to fix things on her own, or even scrapping a project and starting over.

Date Apprenticed: 04.03.731 AL
Date Tapped: 05.04.737 AL
Mastership Obtained: N/A

Education Details: Cazan started out learning from and helping her twin brother while he was apprenticing. This quickly escalated, and she found herself dressing up in his clothes and attending classes in his place. She's managed to get him through his apprenticeship and considers herself the real journeyman even if it's attached to his name. She did rather well in tasks that required finer manual dexterity like tooling and stitching together finer pattern garments, as well as getting the mix right to tan especially supple leathers for that use. Cazan was considered slow with dye work though, because she was always especially careful to try and avoid staining her hands.

RP Sample
The trip had been awful, too long with nothing to do but ride, too long with her thoughts. By the time Cazan reached her destination she had even forgotten the details of the fight with her brother, only remembered the smug look on his face, his entirely too relaxed demeanor, and the fact that she'd threatened to ride out and find a job at Ista Weyr. Cazelarias would have to do his own work, and then he'd be sorry. Except he wouldn't; nothing would get done without her there. The thought had popped up rather frequently during her trip, and each time had been almost enough to make her turn back. No, she reminded herself firmly, give it a month or so. That or until mother sent someone after her. Father would be too busy to even notice she'd gone missing again, Cazonel would be occupied helping father, so that made her twin the most likely candidate to be sent off to fetch her back home (and likely meet some new nice young man her mother had found to introduce her too in hopes of finally marrying her off). Odds were good he'd just take it as an excuse to have a vacation while he waited for her to return on her own.

And she would return, but not before taking a look around the Weyr and maybe get to see a dragon up close while she was exploring the potential for work. Maybe she'd even like it enough to try and come back as herself to get a job. At the very least Cazan would be able to make some contacts, spread her brother's name and a good reputation for his goods out a bit further. She checked her outfit to ensure she still looked like her brother before she led her runnerbeast to the stables. The beast was secure, she had her pack containing a sampling of wares and some tools, she had the knot marking her as a journeyman leather worker set properly on her shoulder, now she just had to take a look around and find work. With that thought she finally gave Ista Weyr a proper look, a small amount of awe shining in her eyes as she took it all in.

Cazan shook her head as she refocused. There would be time to gawk like a tourist later, for now she set her goal on finding a friendly looking dragonrider to see if she could get a feel for the business opportunities. She shouldered her bag, took a look around, and spotted a likely rider to walk towards and try to flag over with a friendly wave.

RE: [G][WIP] The Leather Worker who could - BardlyThere - 30.Nov.19

note to self: probably going to consult with Thistle about age and some family details, I think the main reason she gets away with pretending to be her brother is because her dad is too busy to actually pay attention or notice what's going on. I imagine there's mostly brothers, maybe a sister to jump on the "go get married and have babies" grenade.

personality traits:
stubborn
determined
bold
sneaky
workaholic
focused
tunnel vision
resilient
tomboy
not asexual just doesn't get the appeal because she tried it once and man was it not great, maybe it's a guy thing? her brother is a horn dog after all.
she finds ladies and men equally attractive, has far more practice flirting with ladies while disguised as her brother than she does flirting with men. if anyone takes the bait she just tells her brother.

Greenrider of Ista

Michael B. Jordan
Important Details
Original Name: Jesseler
Pronounced: JESS-eh-LEHR
Honorific: Je'ler
Pronounced: je-LEHR
Nicknames: Jay, Boozy, Jess (but only people who knew him before he was impressed)

Dragon Name: Isperinath
Dragon Pronounced: IS-per-i-NATH
Dragon Colour: Green
Wing Assigned:
Wing Rank: Wingrider

Primary Rank: Journeyman Vintner
Secondary Ranks: Bad Influence, Slacker

Place of Birth: Brum Hold
Date of Birth: 07.04.708AL
Stolen By: "I don't know, some dude on a blue. I didn't exactly get the best look at him and I was a bit too distracted afterwards to care."
Stolen Date: 13.08.729
Impression Age: 25, 18.06.733 AL
Physical Age: 26

Partner: N/A
Appearance
[Image: 66e1856db684a023925c4056ee9a4f10.jpg]
Eyes: Brown and either sleepy or sparkling with mischief, very rarely any other expression. Even when he's just having a regular good time his eyes make him look like he's up to something.

Hair: Kept short except for that one time he was dared to grow it out into dreads. He always sports some sort of facial hair, somewhere between a five o'clock shadow and short beard.

Height: 6' 0"

General Appearance: Je'ler is athletic, with a rather muscular build from carrying heavy barrels and sacks of ingredients. His hands and lower arms are covered in small scars and frequently fresh cuts from getting caught in thorns while out foraging or stuck with splinters from general work. On his back he has a rather large scar on his left side from an old wound.

He carries himself confidently but not aggressively, even when slacking off. In general he has the bearing of a man with few concerns. His smiles are frequent and warm.

Dressing Style: According to Je'ler, shirts are optional, but jackets and vests make for excellent accessories. When he does wear shirts they tend to be light and sleeveless to give his arms more room to move. He tends towards practical rather than pretty (though in his mind he makes it look good either way), but when he is motivated to dress up he goes all out and is willing to spend a surprising amount of marks on a good outfit.
Personality
[Image: tumblr_pqnkluQeTM1w0gw85o6_540.png]
General Character Traits: Cheerful, friendly, and laid back, even when he's tired or concentrating on work his lips frequently bear the faint traces of a smile. He adapted rather well to life in the Weyr, and while he's flirty and down for a casual bit of fun, he's not very high pressure and doesn't consider himself a horn dog. He knows he's attractive, and even if he does hit a dry spell it's only a matter of time before Isperinath takes to the skies to end the drought for both of them.

He is very loyal to the people he considers close enough to be his family, but always tries to maintain some emotional distance, avoiding accepting too many favors or gifts. He's especially prone to avoiding romantic entanglements, and the moment he even thinks he's developing feelings for someone (or they're developing feelings for him) he finds some way to reinsert the distance (usually with a prank or by sleeping around). Even when this proves to be painful to someone he cares about, he considers it to be a dose of tough love, sparing the both of them from something terrible.

He's especially fond of his dragon, who he affectionately calls Isper, and he lets her help him taste test all of his experiments. Insulting Isperinath is one of the few ways to guarantee getting into a fight with him.

Habits/Mannerisms: When he's uncomfortable (especially when he's lying) he rubs the back of his neck.

Opinions: These can be kept short and sweet; a sentence will suffice.
Threadfall Theory: He'll deal with it if it happens, no use stressing about it.
Stealing/Kidnapping: Once the initial shock and anger wore off he settled in rather quickly. He still didn't think it was a good thing in general, but he didn't keep any personal grudges about it (though he will use it as an excuse to complain and tease on occasion). All in all though, he found the dragon riders to be a good surrogate family after having lost his father only a couple years prior.
Weryrleader S'kef: He didn't seem like a bad guy. Mostly Je'ler was too busy slacking or making booze to worry about it. The fact that he was kidnapped didn't make him really care about the politics for that matter.
Firelizards: Look at those tiny guys! Look at them! How can you not love those tiny faces? Wait, no get out of that barrel.
Women's loss of honourifics: On the one hand that seems kinda lame, lady, but so is getting kidnapped. He isn't too bothered by the change, but he also hadn't been around long enough to really have been used to it.
Return North: He'd gotten rather settled in Katila, found some interesting fruits to add to his wines. Going back North was a mixed bag of emotions; he grew up there, had a lot of memories, but he didn't have any family to go back to. He still goes back south to forage for ingredients on occasion.

[This section is optional]
Likes:
Singing and music: He enjoys singing as he works, and listening to music. Maybe one day he'll pick up an instrument. He's not especially good at keeping in tune, but he makes up for it with enthusiasm.
Experimenting: Exploring and trying new things is the spice of life! And then you make delicious life spice booze.
Like 3:

Dislikes:
Whiskey: Just because he can make it doesn't mean he has to like it. And just because he doesn't like it doesn't mean he can't identify a good one. Ugh.
People who won't try new things:
Dislike 3:

Strengths:
Strength 1:
Strength 2:
Strength 3:

Flaws:
Afraid of Romance: Je'ler never met his mother, she dies when he was born, but she still left a profound affect on his life. He saw how heartbroken his father was without her and it left him with a deep seated fear that one day his own heart would be broken, and his life ruined.

History
Father: Jesper, b.688, d.728
Rank: Journeyman Vintner
Mother: Selia, b.691, d.708
Rank: Cook
Siblings:
None, his mother died in childbirth and his father was too heartbroken to find anyone else.
Past Lovers/Partners: No one terribly important, a few maids, a fellow brewer at the Hall who he'd mess around with after some taste testing. He kept saying he was going to start getting serious and maybe settle down after he reached Journeyman, but then his dad died and he was kidnapped, both of which served as a good excuse to keep avoiding emotional commitment.
Current Lovers/Partners: No one that he's seeing on the regular.
Children: He's pretty sure he has a bastard child back in Benden Hold from before he was kidnapped, but since then he's reasonably sure he hasn't had any more. Pretty sure. No one's told him otherwise.
Background Story:
708 & Newborn: Jesseler is born and his mother, Selia, dies in childbirth. Jesper is left heartbroken but vows to raise the only thing he has left of his wife to the best of his ability.
713 & 5: Overhears his father talking about his birth with a friend over a drink, believes his father hates him and blames him for his mother's death.
717 & 9: Begins to realize how profoundly sad his father is all the time after spending time playing with other children his age and watching their parents.
721 & 13: Becomes an apprentice to try to have some sort of connection with his distant father.
727 & 19: Has been making his father proud with his progress and makes Journeyman! Things have started to look up as far as his family is concerned.
728 & 20: Jesseler's father falls ill and dies, leaving him with no other family.
729 & 21: Kidnapped and taken to Katila. At first he is quite upset, but once he settles down decides to try and make the best of the situation. There's new brews to discover, and the dragonmen actually appreciate him for his talents. He's able to make some friends and though he slacks at his dragon related classes, he starts to feel like he has a place to belong again.
732 & 24: Traded a flask of wine for a firelizard egg. Named the little blue Yuck due to the amount of filth the critter would get into.
733 & 25: Somehow, despite his lack of studying, he manages to impress a dragon! Most everyone is shocked (most of all himself). He still doesn't take it seriously though, treating the weyrling like a casual pal more than anything serious.
733 & 25: Later on in the year after a few months, his casual negligence results in Isperinath overeating to the point that she falls ill. He finds himself far more distressed than he expected he would be and helps nurse her back to health. Once she's better he swears to buckle down and take better care of her. The level of his concern prompts Isperinath to become almost neurotic about her eating habits.
735 & 27: Through increased diligence and dedication he manages to graduate and becomes a wingrider. He's secretly more proud of himself for this than he was when he became journeyman. With that task completed he's considered much more dependable, though still a bit of a slacker when he can avoid work.
736 & 28: Spends more effort into conveniently avoiding hard work than he does on work itself getting the new Weyrs set up. When everything is done he settles in at Telgar for the time being.
737 & 29: Pays a visit back to the Vintnercraft Hall in Benden Hold as part of the outreach efforts. He's able to establish a working relationship for supplies to make brewing more convenient for him back at the weyr.
739 & 31: Helped with the recovery and rescue efforts at Ista during the fire, carrying people to safety, making sure people were fed, and otherwise making himself useful. Once the fires were out he worked on bringing food and water (and wine, everyone needs a pick me up in these trying times) to the weyr. Despite his well earned reputation for slacking off he and Isperinath make a weekly visit with supplies like clockwork until he eventually decided to stay for the warm weather.
740 & 32: A one night stand with a fellow rider almost turns disastrous as Je'ler finds they have expectations of seeing him again, perhaps even for a romantic dinner. Allegedly, this was not a one night stand, and had in fact been a repeat of some prior nights. Je'ler's rejection and claims that he can't remember those prior nights was not taken very well, and a lot of drama wold have potentially happened, except that a blue dragon won a gold flight and the ensuing drama storm helped him neatly avoid his own problems in the chaos.
Education
Craft: Vintner
Specialty: Experimenting with ingredients and blends, with a tendency towards infused mead and other sweeter "dessert" alcohols.

Craft Rank: Journeyman
Date Apprenticed: 05.01.721 AL
Date Tapped: 02.10.727 AL
Mastership Obtained: N/A

Education Details: Je'ler became a vintner in order to bond with his emotionally distant father. He quickly discovered that waiting for things to finish fermenting made for a very relaxed trade with plenty of opportunities to nap and slack off while still being technically productive. He had trouble focusing on the more traditional wines at first, wanting to experiment with his ingredients from the very beginning, but as he settled into his apprenticeship and realized that knowing the basics would help with his experimentation.

Dragon
Dragon Name: Isperinath
Name Pronounced: IS-per-i-NATH
Dragon Colour: Green
Wing Assigned: See the Wing Listing for current assignments. Put the wing you would most like to join in.
Wing Rank: Wingrider

Hatching Date: 18.06.733 AL
Birthing Weyr: Katila Weyr
Home Weyr: Ista
Clutch Name: Dangerous Days
Clutch Mother: Gold Krypth
Clutch Father: Brown Saquith

Appearance: All measurements should be when mature.
Length: 30'
Height: 13' 2"
Wingspan: 41' 3"
Scars & Markings: She has a series of pale stretch marks across her belly and up her sides from when Je'ler let her gorge herself as a weyrling, and in bright light these look like ripples in her hide.
Weyrlinghood: She was a tubby little dragon due to Je'ler letting her gorge herself constantly. She was brightly colored with only a little bit of subtle shading on her legs back then. She started losing the extra weight after she got sick and Je'ler got his act together.
Adulthood: Isperinath grew into a long, lean dragon, almost obsessed with her weight and eating habits after her illness as a weyrling. Her wings and legs are on the shorter side for her length, and she is an agile flyer, and a good sprinter, but not as enduring. Her hide is a bright emerald green that darkens down her legs and towards the edges of her wings until they're almost black at the end, turning a lighter creamier shade on her belly, with the lightest shades at her throat.

Mindvoice: Sweet and melodic with a hint of purr when she's in a mood. She even sings, though usually only for Je'ler.

General Character Traits: Isperinath is vain and especially sensitive about her weight. Sipping Je'ler's creations is one method he uses to try and whet her appetite to make sure she eats enough and doesn't worry. She thrives on praise, and has a long memory for those who compliment her, as well as those who insult her, but only for whichever incident happened most recently. Someone who insults her can easily regain her favor by paying her a compliment, and someone who has complimented her in the past can easily earn tail boppings.

Habits/Mannerisms: Isperinath has a habit of "accidentally" touching people with her tail when she's pleased with or irritated them. These can range from very gentle brushes to harder wacks that appear to be just accidental clumsiness.

RP Sample
Isper, take a swig of this and let me know what you think. Je'ler poured a small amount of his latest batch of wine into a bowl (really a cauldron) and walked over to the green dragon that was lounging in the sun. He was rather proud of this batch, thought it had just an interesting kick from the added spices and herbs to brighten and warm up the rather dry red blend. It had been a while since he'd worked with just grapes and no added fruit, and he was eager to see what everyone else would think.

The dragon didn't even crack an eye, her tail instead swishing just enough to playfully tap her rider's ankle. This was the one you started four months ago? It was just grapes, yes? Her melodic voice held a trace of curiosity as she wondered why this rather plain sounding batch Je'ler had been working on was worth any special attention.

"Yes, it's been aging for four long months, needing someone to have a taste. And sometimes limiting yourself can bring out all sorts of creativity, so how about you take a sip and tell me what you think. You'll be my first taste tester." He moved to sit on the ground near her head, careful not to spill the bowl as he patiently waited, ever-present smile on his face.

I'm almost always your first taste tester. She finally cracked open an eye to watch him, waiting for his usual response. He did not disappoint as his smile broadened and he said, Because you are a lady with fine taste. Je'ler offered up the large bowl once more and this time the dragon lifted up her head to very carefully grasp onto the vessel with her teeth. Once she was sure it was secure and her rider released his grip on it, she quickly tipped her head back, shooting the wine like a shot in a practiced motion.

"Well? What do you think?"Je'ler took the cauldron back, now much lighter and empty.

I like it. Better than the last one I think.

"Well then I guess I'll be bottling this one and passing it around to see how everyone else likes it. I'll get started on that, you rest your pretty little head until we're ready to go." He gave her an affectionate pat to the head as she settled back down with a pleased sigh and the sound of soft musical crooning to give her rider something to listen to as he worked.

Yuck

lineart credit here
Important Information
Pet Name: Yuck
Name Pronounced: Yuck
Colour: Blue
Date of Birth: 01.10.732 AL
Appearance
Lean, wiry, flexible enough to get into spaces you wouldn't think he'd fit, and a bright ice blue.

Personality
Insatiably curious with a fondness for getting dirty and making a mess, Yuck earned his name through dedicated mischief when he was younger. He still has a habit of getting filthy and tampering with things, but at least now that he's matured a bit he's willing to hold still for (and enjoys) bath time. He loves to steal small random items, hiding them in small nooks and crannies where he seemingly forgets them. He reliably listens to Je'ler now, but is much less reliable whenever anyone else tries to get him to do something.

Place of Birth: Crom Hold
Date of Birth: 02.05.723 AL
Searched By: No one, he came to the Weyr on his own.
Searched Date: N/A
Impression Age: Age, dd.mm.yyy AL
Physical Age: 17
Aged Out:

Partner: N/A

Appearance
[Image: 6579115.jpg]
Eyes: Small for his face and icy blue, tends to squint a lot.

Hair: Blonde and usually kept short, he tries to keep it combed but it has a tendency towards getting mussed.

Height: 6'2"

General Appearance: Fediletch's height and broad shoulders combined with his small squinted gaze make him appear more fearsome and imposing than he means to be. His hands are rough and covered in small scars, a combination of slips with the butcher's knife and split knuckles from a hard punch. He has a scar over his lip and one over his eyebrow from a few brawls he's been in on his siblings behalf as well. He's athletic and muscular in build from a life filled with manual labor. He's been told this lends a bit to him being almost ruggedly handsome (though he's also been told he should grow a beard for that).

While Fediletch maintains good posture and stands tall he does his best to not loom, and avoids holding himself in aggressive stances unless he is specifically trying to be intimidating. His movements are generally purposeful and coordinated if not quite flowing or graceful. His expression tends towards somber unless he's actively engaged in conversation and manages a smile that lights up his face.

Dressing Style: Fediletch tries to keep himself (and his surroundings for that matter) neat and clean. He doesn't own any fancy clothing, instead focusing on practical and durable garments. He does his best to maintain his clothes as best he can with skills taught to him by his mother. He isn't afraid of getting dirty during the course of work or play, but he is quick to change and clean back up once he's done.


Personality
[Image: alexander-ludwig-hot.jpg]
General Character Traits: Fediletch is a confident young man who knows he can be imposing to others, and has the talents to back himself up in a fight on the few occasions he gets into them. He'd much rather take verbal abuse and move on with his life, but when he does need to react (usually when someone is insulting a friend rather than himself) he finds that merely standing up and calmly staring someone down works very well to get people to back off. At the same time he's not insecure about his lack of intelligence. He learned a long time ago that things go by much more smoothly if he just admits when he doesn't know or understand something and gets help.

He tries to be as helpful as possible, hoping that through his actions and helpfulness he'll win the friends that he can't just charm with wit like other people can. As the oldest of a pack of children, he's quite capable of giving orders and direction in an assertive manner, though it usually works best when someone else gives him guidance on what orders to give when it's a situation he's not familiar with. He's more talented with physical puzzles than he is with word puzzles and riddles (he can remember the answers if it's a riddle he's heard before). The possibility of getting a dragon is the main motivator he has for trying to improve his mental skills with lessons.

Habits/Mannerisms: He runs his hands through his hair when he's confused or trying to think. When his hands are dirty and covered in blood he tries to remember not to, instead cracking his knuckles and twiddling his fingers.
Opinions:
Threadfall Theory: Thread? Isn't that what you use to fix clothes?
Stealing/Kidnapping: Wait they were kidnapping people to be with dragons? Why couldn't they have picked me? Oh... they wanted people who were good at stuff. Okay that makes sense.
Weryrleader S'kef: N/A
Firelizards: Oh what you can have tiny dragons again?!
Women's loss of honourifics: N/A
Return North: The dragons are back! They're real! Going to do what it takes to try and get one too.

[This section is optional]
Likes:
Art: Fediletch enjoys recreating the world he sees on paper. His favorite thing to do is to watch and draw pictures of dragons and people.
Helping People: It makes him feel useful and important whenever he can help someone, even if that help is just to pick something heavy up.
Dragons: He thinks they're the most majestic and beautiful things in the world. They've always fascinated him and he was so excited when they came back. He's willing to try and be as helpful as he can so that maybe one day he can get a dragon of his own.

Dislikes:
Fish: He once tried to butcher a fish with the same zeal he would apply towards a beef carcass. The results were not pretty (and in fact quite smelly).
People who are mean to his friends: He doesn't care if people pick on him, but his friends are all very nice and very smart and don't deserve that nonsense.
Drinking: Most of his father's fights were while he was drunk, so Fediletch tries to avoid alcohol and drunks when he can.

Strengths:
Self Aware: He knows he's not the smartest, even knows he's slow and dull, but he knows what he's good at, and he's willing to ask for help for everything he isn't. He is more than willing to admit when he's wrong or made a mistake.
Quick Reflexes: Fediletch has a natural athleticism that helps when it comes to dodging, catching, throwing, and other quick reactions. He does not have a tendency to hesitate (which can get him into trouble in other ways).
Observant: Fediletch is good at noticing and remembering small visual details. He usually uses this for his art, but it also helps him remember things like maps and butcher meat charts.

Flaws:
Not the Sharpest Tool in the Shed: Fetch is not bright, he's not the best at non physical puzzles and creative thinking and has trouble when given an abstract task without direction.
Easy to Manipulate: Once he's decided he likes someone it's hard to shake. He's very forgiving and will go out of his way to help people. Unfortunately this makes it really easy for people to manipulate him. He trusts his smarter friends and can be easy to confuse. He tends to be trusting unless he's been told by another smart person to be wary.
Claustrophobic: He can put up with being underground for the sake of staying near the dragons, but he needs to get out and into the open regularly. Smaller more cramped confines fill him with dread and he's likely to rush through any task that requires him to be in a confined space.

Background Story:
723 & 0:
Born to poor parents, they are initially very happy.
724 & 1:
Sister is born, she has dark hair and dark eyes like their parents.
725 & 2:
Brother is born and dies shortly after birth. Has dark hair and dark eyes like both parents.
727 & 4:
Another brother is born with dark hair and dark eyes. Father begins to act distant. Fediletch distracts himself with stories and drawings of dragons.
729 & 6:
A sister is born with dark hair and dark eyes. Fediletch overhears his parents fighting and comes to the conclusion that his father hates his blonde hair though he's not sure why. He tries to dye it with some ink. This only sparks a different fight.
731 & 8:
Another dark haired little brother is born. Fediletch has taken to getting into fights on behalf of his younger siblings when they're being picked on.
733 & 10:
His father has a drunken fight with his mother. When Fediletch tries to intervene to help his mother he gets locked in a small closet by his father as punishment. He develops claustrophobia as a result.
734 & 11:
Hears rumors the dragonriders and their dragons are still alive, goes to tell his father he wants to be a dragonrider when he grows up but this results in a fight.
735 & 12:
Meets a friend of his mother's, a nice tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes that she says she met through her work. They talk briefly, but Fediletch doesn't quite follow along with the subtleties in the conversation. The topic of leaving home to go somewhere with his mother's friend comes up but Fediletch already promised to help his father with some things so he declines. The man and his mother both seem disappointed for some reason, but even after he leaves his mother won't answer any of Fediletch's questions and tells him not to speak of her friend to anyone, especially his father.
737 & 14:
Fediletch starts to broaden and bulk up, making him appear to be almost a giant in comparison to his father. Parents begin fighting more whenever he's around and his father sends him to help a butcher to learn a useful skill and to avoid looking at his son more than necessary.
738 & 15:
Gets close to the butcher's daughter, Fiona. She's pretty and out of his league, but despite his shortcomings she enjoys how easy it is for her to tell him what to do and boss him around. She has him do some errands and small favors for her on the side and makes sure he knows not to mention any of it to her father. His relationship with his own father grows increasingly distant and strained, and in his absence his siblings have started talking to him less as well.
739 & 16:
The butcher confronts Fediletch about one of the favors he's been doing for Fiona. He doesn't say anything to give her up, but shortly after the butcher and Fiona have some sort of argument. A month later she is sent away to be married in a far off hold. With no real reason to keep him anymore, Fediletch heads to Telgar to try and get himself a dragon or at least be near them. Since his arrival he's been doing his best to try and be the best candidate he can be by attending as many classes as possible and helping with odd jobs and manual labor.


Education
Craft: Butcher's helper, general laborer
Specialty: Shockingly good with a knife.

Craft Rank: N/A
Date Tapped: N/A
Mastership Obtained: N/A

Education Details: Fediletch didn't have any real opportunity for education outside of learning on the job. He knows how to clean and butcher an animal, can even identify some of the cuts, but he never learned to read (outside of numbers and identifying currency) and only has basic math skills. Since coming to the Weyr he's been attending classes when he can and working to practice his reading. Surprisingly he can write rather well and has good penmanship, though he does so by drawing words rather than understanding what the symbols actually mean. He's always had an easier time with numbers though since they've always appeared to be different colors for him.

RP Sample
It had been a very long, very trying, and very confusing day for Fetch. Longer than that really, at least a week, or a month, or a year even depending on where he wanted to place the blame for the ultimate source of the confusion. He was alone for now in the smoke shed, covered in blood and salt from hanging up all of the haunches to cure when he'd gotten the news. The butcher had thought he was going to be angry, so he'd kept his words brief then left. Fiona had thought he was going to be sad, so she hadn't even been there.

He wasn't either of those things really; tired perhaps, even a little disappointed, but not angry or sad. Even he could see that something like this was coming, even if it still surprised him a little that it went this far. Fetch honestly had no idea how big an impact the small favors he'd done for Fiona had on the business, but it had obviously been enough to piss her father off. It had almost cost him his job and now she was being shipped off to some far off hold to marry some businessman. Even if she hadn't gotten caught, she'd have found a smarter man to marry, probably one of the ones she was already seeing on the side. Fetch was stupid, not blind. Still, this wasn't how he'd thought it would all go down. It felt so sudden.

Fetch took a seat on a sack of salt, his body falling wearily with a grunt as he considered his options. His mother was always trying to encourage him to go do something with his life further than help the butcher on the other side of the Hold, his younger siblings had grown distant as they'd gotten older and he was away more, and his father always tried to pick a fight with him whenever he was there. He turned his gaze to the sky and happened to catch sight of a dragon flying overhead in the distant clouds. He grinned as the idea hit him. He'd go to the Weyr, and he'd do whatever it took to try and be worthy of a dragon. And even if he couldn't, he'd at least be able to see them more regularly. He stood up, decision made as he went to go deliver the news and pack his things.
