Hair Colour:
Blonde
Build:
Slim
General Description:
Thick blonde hair falls in silky waves to Larnell's shoulders, framing a narrow but defined face -- high cheek bones, a fair nose, full lips and small ears hidden away behind the strands. His eyes are an intense shade of grey, thinly lashed but with heavy eyebrows. There is the tiniest of clefts in his chin, barely visible and occasionally hidden by a day's growth. Larnell's body is made up of long, slim limbs that took most of his adolescence to grow into. His fingers are long and nimble, and while he's not a fanatic about keeping fit, he's a decent runner.General Dressing Style:
Freed from the constraints of being the Heir of his Hold, Larnell now wears whatever he damn well fancies, with a strong preference for soft and comfortable shirts -- with none of the fanfare that was the current fashion at the Hold -- and loose comfortable pants. None of it is tailored to his exact measurements and its strangely freeing.

General Personality:
Intelligent and well educated, Larnell can come across as cocky because he's not very good at pretending not to know things, and due to his interest in a wide range of topics, he does know a lot more than the average person. Larnell isn't actually cocky, or a knowitall, and gets a bit pouty and upset when he's accused of such things, often frowning - an expression that is often at home on his features.Larnell has known love, but he also has a close relationship with grief and he does his best to live every day to the best, knowing that at any moment the rug could be pulled out from under his feet, and he doesn't want to have any regrets. As such, he's quick to smile and easy to amuse, and while he can become a raging bull when provoked he usually doesn't hold a grudge. Overall, Larnell feels strongly and without reserve and wears his emotions on his sleeve for everyone to see.
While Larnell misses his mother and siblings intently - they all had a strong bond - he harbours a strong dislike for his father and the pressures that were put on his shoulders by the man. Regardless, he has hope for the future and is eagerly looking forward to the world opened up before him at the Weyr. He is no longer Heir, but he is also no longer bound by the chains that have passed to his younger brother.

Important History:
721.03.01, 0 - Born, the first son to his parents, and their second child.724.xx.xx, 3 - little brother Malarid is born
726.xx.xx, 5 - younger sister Eriarna is born. Larnell breaks his arm this turn falling off a horse - a mare. Thus beginning his dislike for the female horses who are always so damned fickle and full of attitude..
729.xx.xx, 8 - youngest brother Dellarn is born.
731.xx.xx, 10 - Is engaged to Azende, the eldest daughter of a prominent merchant in Benden Hold
738.xx.xx, 17 - Rebreaks his arm falling off another horse. Damned horses. Also gets a nasty concussion and is stuck in bed for three days recovering.
739.xx.xx, 18 - Azende finally turns fifteen, and the pair are married. They get along well enough, and Larnell is fond of her and her quirky nature.
742.01.15, 20 - after more miscarriages than either of them care to count, Azende finally carries a child to term, only for it to be a stillborn son. Due to complications, Azende doesn't survive the birth.
742.01.17, 20 - Malarn - Larnell's father - is immediately on him to remarry, something he's been hinting at for Larnell to do since Azende's first miscarriage. Grieving for his wife and child, Larnell doesn't hold his tongue and the pair have a huge blowout that results in a lot of simmering anger and harsh words. Larnell refuses to speak to his father for several days, before being confronted. They have another loud, long argument where Larnell calls his father's bluff and tells him to make Malarid the heir, to disown him if that's what will make him happy. Malaran does.
742.02.01, 20 - Having spent the past handful of days avoiding his father at all costs, Larnell is packed up and ready to leave when his uncle conveniently decides to visit the family. With little coaxing, Larnell soon finds himself atop the blue dragon, and leaving his family for the last time. He promises to visit his mother when they can in Benden Hold.

Education
Details:
While Larnell doesn't have an education specific to a Craft, he is highly educated in a large range of topics, thanks to being his father's Heir for a good twenty years. He is intelligent and learns fairly easily, especially since he enjoys learning new things and occupying his mind. He's especially well versed in politics, notably those played by merchants. He has a good eye for geography as well.
