Character Name: Tierelm
Age: 17
Gender: male
Preference: Undecided? He probably knows, but he hasn't told me yet.
Previous Position: Apprentice Healer
Current Position: Candidate
Appearance: Tierelm stands at about 5'7, with a slender build. He has sharp, defined features, with elegant cheekbones. One of his defining features are his slim, elegant hands with long fingers. Most say they are musician's hands, but Tierelm thinks they do quite well with surgical instruments instead. Incidentally, he is left handed. His skin is rather pale, showing that he doesn't spend extended time outside, although that is likely to change in the Weyr. He has a scattering of freckles across his face. He rarely gives a true smile, but when he does, it lights up his whole face. Tierelm's eyes are a pretty, pale green color and framed by long, almost feminine lashes. His hair is light brown and he prefers to keep it no longer than chin length, for convenience. He wears clean, neat clothes and always appears very well groomed.
Personality: Studious and observant, Tierelm enjoys fixing people, but he does not really like people. To be frank, he has difficulty understanding social situations. He dislikes strong emotions and tries his best not to show them, and other people who are overly exuberant weird him out. He is pragmatic to a fault and views everything with cool logic. Hence, many human actions make no sense to him. Friendship is nice, but it must be earned and kept with hard work. Romance is messy and often illogical. Sex is not a bad thing to indulge in, but he does not like mushy romance to follow it. To sum it up, no cuddling.
Tierelm is an orderly person. He values cleanliness and organization, and he can be quite the neat freak. Perhaps the sterile nature his craft gives him his love of cleanliness. He can also be a touch obsessive-compulsive at times, especially when it comes to his own possessions. He is a "good boy" and doesn't like breaking rules, unless he finds the rules idiotic. He is deferential to his superiors as well, unless he finds the superiors idiotic. In that case, he has no problem opposing them.
History: Tierelm is holdbred, born in one of the small cotholds to a wher handler and his wife. Tierelm never knew his mother, because she died giving birth to Tierelm and his twin brother, Lirent. Despite not knowing their birth mother, the twins were doted on by various aunties, and never really felt their loss. Their father did, however. He was solemn and depressed after his wife's death, although he was proud of his sons and loved them well.
Tierelm's young childhood was good, but his strongest memory is of his twin's constant illness. Lirent was weak and always sick. When the twins were seven turns old, Lirent passed away. In truth, the Healer had predicted the weaker child wouldn't even live past his first turn, so this was remarkable. Naturally, Tierelm was devestated. His father was also thrown into another bout of depression. The death of his wife, then his son, was too much to bear, and Tierelm's father disappeared into the mines one day with his wher and never came out.
As a child, Tierelm dreamed of becoming a Healer to save his brother. As he got older, this became a more serious ambition. He had a scientific mind and wanted to learn how the human body worked. He became a driven but shy and reclusive child, almost always playing by himself. At the age of 12, he left the Hold to become a Healer apprentice. At the Hall, he studied hard and was a loner, making few close friends. He was looking forward to walking the tables when a Search interrupted his studies. Everyone was surprised when he left the Hall to become a candidate, but Tierelm made the decision when he remembered how he and Lirent had once dreamed of being candidates together.
Position in Family: Only child, twin
Pets: None
Alignment: He hasn't been in the Weyr long enough to decide, but probably loyalist.
Actually, is this plot even going on now that there are new Weyrleaders?
Candidates Only Section:
Desired Dragon/Wher Colour: Any color!
Reason for this Preference: None of the colors really stick out to me as one that he absolutely has to have. I can work with any color with this character. I'm fine with cross-gender Impressions as well if you want to do that. (Plus the gender of the dragon would help me decide his orientation, lol.)
For Dragon Candidates:
Syllable Numbers for Name: It would be funny if his dragon had a ridiculous, long name. But only if there was a nickname in there.
Preferred Starting Letters for Name: Um...whatever, really.
For Dragonriders and Dragon Candidates to Fill Out:
Preferred Dragon Ability: Rescue/Search, Creativity, Agility
Age: 17
Gender: male
