Character Name: Farallen
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Preference: Females
Previous Position: Weyrbrat
Current Position: Dragonhealer Apprentice (future candidate?)
Appearance: Farallen has the tanned complexion of one who has spent much time outdoors. Light freckles are splattered haphazardly over his arms, and are more concentrated across his cheekbones and nose. His medium-length hair is brown, but it takes on a distinctly reddish tint when hit by the sunlight. Farallen is about average height, just enough over to be taller than most girls, yet not tall enough to be intimidating. His eyes are a deep amber color, something in their shape and that of his eyebrows conveys a perpetually calm and unworried appearance. His face is broad, and his features rough and unrefined. Farallen is fairly strong, resulting from his study of and work with dragons, as working with injured dragons can be very physically demanding.
Personality: Just as he looks, Farallen is generally very calm and easy going, shrugging off insults with ease. He is a loyal and dependable friend to have, willing to work very hard for those he cares about, and even those he doesn’t. However, he can be taken advantage of in this way because he will help nearly anyone who asks and has a convincing story. Too romantic of a personality for his own good, he is given to be naive and always expects the best from people, leaving him open to be hurt when his trust is betrayed. Farallen very much enjoys spending time outside and usually spends his free time there, perhaps in the shade of a small tree, watching the passing clouds and the dragons flying about the weyr. However, while he is not lazy, Farallen is often forgetful and too likely to let his problems slip away with the caress of the morning wind, so for all his compassion and understanding, he's hardly leadership material. While he is not very flirtatious, Farallen is a gentleman when it comes to women, and does like to socialize with them.
History: Farallen was born in Artemis Moonlight Weyr, the son of a greenrider and a bluerider. As neither parent had time enough to care for the child, he was put into the fostering system. One of the kitchen workers agreed to care for him, although she was a popular choice for a foster mother, and fostered three children along with Farallen. He was the second oldest of the four, and came to regard them as siblings even though they weren’t blood related. He had a regularly happy childhood as a weyrbrat, and was liked by adults as he was generally well behaved, and didn’t get into the mischief others enjoyed. As he got on well with and seemed to have an understanding of animals, his friends expected that he would go into the beastcraft. However, like most weyr children, he found himself fascinated with dragons. He wasn’t very confident that he would impress, but stood with the other weyrbrats when he was twelve turns old. While he loved the experience of seeing the dragons hatch from a candidate’s perspective, he was left standing, and couldn’t help but be very disappointed. He was ready to leave all dreams of dragonriding behind and pursue a more realistic career, but was persuaded to stand again by the many dragonriders who insisted that it was nothing to be ashamed of not to impress one’s first time. At the next hatching, he failed to impress once more, and again after that. After three attempts, no amount of urging would deter him from his decision to leave his position as a candidate, not willing to subject himself to the disappointment once again. He became an apprentice dragonhealer, and excelled at his craft due to his hard-working and diligent nature. However, as the years passed, thread slowly ceased to fall, and there was less and less need for dragonhealers. Farallen found that he faced a future in which he would not really be needed, but tried to ignore it. He had been treating Nreth, a brown with a rider of only twenty turns himself, whose unfortunate blunders during threadfall landed the dragon with a badly scored wing. The rider, P’rall, took a liking to Farallen during the months the boy treated his dragon, and thought sadly about the limited future Farallen would have in their time. When he heard about the riders going forward, he secretly informed Farallen, and offered to bring the boy with him, to a time when he could be useful, and dragonhealers would be needed. After much thought, Farallen agreed to accompany the brownrider forward to the new time, and the two thus left Artemis behind for the promises of Araelen Weyr.
