Name: Zerian [Z'ian]
Age: 17 turns
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Possibly straight, though, have never show any interest in any gender
Appearance: Zerian is short, shorter than most boys of the same age. But it's not so easy to notice because of few reasons, one being the fact he never stands still. Even when forced to sit down, he will tap his feet or hand in some random tune that he will most probably hum, too, or his eyes will look around nonstop. It is no secret that he speaks in his sleep and sometimes even tries to walk. But strangely enough, he doesn't seem to be nervous. It is more like he has endless energy he doesn't know how to use differently. Some people joke that he is probably being paid to never stop moving.
He is one of those boys that are always hungry but no matter how much he eats, he won't grow fat. Actually, he is even thin but his small built is wiry. In the fights he often got into when still living in Hold, he could defeat even much bigger and older boys, using his advantages of being small, quick, agile and much stronger than thought. It is because he spends lot of time climbing, crawling, running and doing other physical activities.
Overall, he leaves impression of a wild child. For example, his hair is nearly insane, spiking in every possible direction and falling in his eyes, as if he has never combed them. But combing just doesn't help - his hair is able to stay down and normal for few hours, not more. The color is slightly unusual, too, being a mix between medium brown and red but more brown when bleached in summer.
Apparently, even his eye color can't stay calm and the same. While the base is brown, many speckles of dark green, gray, pale blue and darker brown and some other colors give them slightly muddy look. In one light, one of the colors will come out more, making them appear brown-gray but in other they will be brown-green and so on.
His body is scarred from the fights and his other adventures but the biggest scars goes all the way across his back and he has never said why they are there. His choice of clothing is 'whatever-I-can-get'. Often the shirts and pants are with big holes that sooner or later will receive a different colored patch on top, sewed on by him self.
Personality: Some calls Zerian a strange child but other thinks that he is completely normal boy from a Hold. But, overall, he is somewhere in the middle and very hard to understand, if at all.
First of, like told before, he is always in motion. But not only on outside but on inside, too. There is rarely a moment he is not intensively thinking about something and the range of his thoughts is wide. He could be coming up with a new mischief or rethink some latest book he has read, as he is very curious and knowledge thirsty boy, or try to figure out how to help someone.
It is said that he doesn't use his brains for the proper things, though. While before big decisions, he can think it all over many times before come up with the perfect choice or plan, when he acts before thinking, big problems can start. Overall, it depends on how emotional he is the moment because all of his life is strongly controlled by his feelings.
When he will be happy, he will be practically bursting with energy and happiness, all his best qualities like kindness showing. But upset him and he will be dark and gloomy, sitting in the corner of his room and muttering something under his breath and being quite annoying and snappy. Fortunately (Or not so much), it is hard to get him to change his moods so he will mostly be happy... But you will have to try hard to get him cheerful again after he has become depressed. Mostly no one tries to do it anyway, so he just comes out of it naturally.
Zerian is friendly fellow, wanting to know everyone around him and make them all happy. Usually he will bounce up to you and ask what are you doing. Apparently, he doesn't understand or accept that it could annoy someone or that he is breaking in someone's personal space. If someone points it out he will apologize, though, and not do so for day or two, until he forgets the scolding.
Actually, he can be rather dense sometimes, especially when it comes to insults and girls. You can try to insult as hard as you can and he won't get it. Most probably, he will smile sweetly and answer something equally insulting in his usual nice tone, as if he wouldn't mean it in any bad way. And while he is more gentle towards girls, he simply seems to not understand there can be more than friendship between them. Even if she would yell at him "I love you!" he would just grin happily and tell that he liked her, too, but it would be obvious he meant it only as friend.
He seems to not understand the meaning of 'right' and 'wrong' sometimes, too. He, for example, has no problems with eavesdropping or stealing or pulling a prank if only the person has hurt him or his friends in any serious way. He is quite vengeful, actually, and with a good memory of your good and bad deeds, though, he tends to interpret all happenings in his own weird way.
One can easily earn his friendship and those will be counted as his 'best buddies' and the rest will be just his friends. With few exceptions that he dislikes with passion. No one really know how he picks those few unfortunate people he seems to hate but they really won't be treated nicely and should watch out on most steps they go. His dislike appears suddenly and lasts for random time and as quick as it begins, it can stop, as his attention turns to a new victim, the previous one being treated as all the rest of Weyr.
Zerian can be clingy if he respects you, following you faithfully, questioning nearly everything you do and trying to imitate you. Fortunately, it happens rarely and rest of the time he is the one being followed as he can be quite a good leader, strangely responsible if a person he likes trust him with something. He also takes good care of his small gang's members. He dislikes sorrow or pain of his friends.
He is almost never shy or embarrassed, being more of a "huh, I did something wrong? Oh well, I am sorry!" and offering a sweet smile. Often, he seems childish, finding even a strange shaped rock pretty and interesting, reason to be happy. He is often mistaken for a simple minded person and he has never tried to clear up the image. And while he seems to be ignorant of things around him, he is actually very informer of all that is going on Weyr, maybe more than some would like.
Elder women likes to take care of him, as if he would be their own grandson and he really does seem to fit the role well. Overall, Zerian has something of a thief sneakiness and puppy cuteness in him and he is not shy to use both those traits.
Pets: None, though, he would love to have a canine of some sorts to make troubles with
Preferred Dragon Color: Whatever you find fitting. =3[/size]
