Name: Echlerov
Age: 15; Early Winter
Sex and Gender: male, and male
Sexual and Romantic Orientations: Bisexual
Species: Tailed - Striped Hyena
Rank and Craft: Candidate: Apprentice Vinter
Place of Birth: Cat's Paw Weyr
Current Location: Cat's Paw Weyr
Family: Mother: Eirika; Age 34; Rider of Green Neketh (Hyena tailed- Striped)
Father: C'lov; Age 46; Rider of Bronze Sunoth (Tiger tailed)
Rikicov- Half-Brother- Apprentice Weaver- Age 14 (Tiger tailed)
Foster Mom: Istiani; Creche Worker, Age 48 (Non Tailed)
Uncle: Istaran; Journeyman Vintner; Age 56 (Squirrel Tailed)
Pets: Bronze Firelizard- Lucky Charm - 1 years old, a gift from his father when he was brought back to the weyr after being searched
Green Firelizard- Vine - 3 years old- found as an egg in an abandoned clutch
Hair: Grey with Black tips, and typically messy. He keeps it relatively short, no longer than brushing his shoulders in the back, and brushed out of his eyes.
Eyes: Echlerov’s eyes are on the narrow side, giving him something of a permanent glare. They are a dark brown, almost black, and appear to be slightly reflective in the dark.
Height and Build: 5'10"; Lean
Appearance: Echlerov is a tall, standing a little under six feet, and lean male. He has a medium-frame which can make him seem as though he is smaller than most men of his height, something emphasized by the almost feminine edges to his build: less broad shoulders, more angles.
As far as coloring goes, he is covered in a short coarse fur. It is a dirty grey color, with black stripes. His hair is a darker grey, with black tips, and his almost black ears peek up out of its messiness. He often finds himself brushing it out of his eyes, and when he's nervous, it's one of his tells. His tail is bushy, the same color as his fur, and is about 1'3 feet long.
He has no scars of note, and he keeps his nails cut down short, to avoid them growing into claws. He tends to dress in clothes that are plain, comfortable, and practical, and most of his wardrobe tends to be in shades of blue.
Personality: Echlerov is confident, sure that he will succeed in anything that he puts his mind too. He doesn't back away from problems, instead, he will dive headfirst into the issue, doing whatever he can to solve what ever the problem is. He is very reliable, and if he says that he's going to do something, it will be done, no matter how long it take. He absolutely refuses to let anyone down, and if there is a way for him to do something, he will find it.
Despite Echlerov's confident appearance, he is concerned with how people think about him, and whether or not they like him. He doesn't like to mess up, since he thinks that others will judge him for it, and works extra hard to make sure that he doesn't.
He can be the best friend that you ever have, willing to be there for you when things are going good, but don't expect him to stick around if things start to crumble. He's not interested in your problems, and he's learned that the best way not to hear about them is not being around. He doesn't sympathize with people easily, and the effort required tires and annoys him, so he just doesn't bother.
Echlerov can be a master of half-truths, and evasions, if you're someone who he's trying to avoid, using phrases like 'I think I'm doing something else then' or 'I'm helping someone out already, but I'll see what I can do'. That way, he figures, he's covered all his bases, since, after all, he didn't say that he would help.
He has the potential to be a good leader, if someone were willing to give him the right push, and keep him from running when things start to turn bad, but on his own, he's just a follower. He is good at taking orders, and does not argue against those who are above him, trusting that they know what they're doing.
He responds better to praise than he does criticism, and is the type of person who will overwork themselves trying to make sure that he won't screw up again.
Likes:
Klah: Echlerov is addicted to the drink, and is of the opinion that it keeps his thoughts clear and helps him concentrate. He always has at least one mug of it in the morning, and it isn't uncommon to see him carrying around a mug as he moves from task to task.
Cooking: If he hadn't apprenticed to the vintnercraft, Echlerov probably would have helped out the vinters in the kitchen. There is just something that he finds enjoyable about cooking, about making things for others to enjoy. Plus, working in the kitchen means that he's never far from a refill of klah.
Wine: As a vintner, it is almost an obligation that one likes wine. Echlerov doesn't consider it one though, since he likes it on it's own merits. To him, it is a beverage for sharing, a beverage for savoring, and a beverage to enjoy.
Dislikes:
People getting in his space: He has a personal bubble, but unlike the average person, his bubble surrounds his things. He doesn't care if you mess with him, but should you mess up his bed, or touch his things, he's not going to be very happy.
Washing Dishes: While he doesn't mind cooking, he hates the cleaning up part afterwards. It's dull, and mind-numbing, and he doesn't enjoy doing it.
Hearing about people's problems: Why do people have to whine about things that go wrong? The boy sees no reason he should have to listen to their issues when they could be off figuring out how to fix them themselves. And really, if they can't be bothered to fix them, then why should he be bothered with them.
History:Echlerov is a weyrbrat, born and raised. His parents were both riders, and once he was born, he was gladly handed over to a foster mother. He led a happy childhood, running wild with the pack of brats that any weyr seems to have at any given time, until his foster mother decided that he needed something to do to keep himself out of trouble. She sent him to stay with her brother, a vintercrafter living in a cothold beholden to the weyr.
He was quickly taught the basics of keeping up the vineyard, and soon found his place as an apprentice, once he reached the age for it. It wasn't until only recently that a dragon stopped by the hold, to pick up some wines for a gather, that he was searched, and with his uncles permission, returned back to the weyr where he had grown up.
He's hoping to impress a dragon, but if he doesn't, it won't be the end all of his life. He's already got permission to return to his uncle's fields, and continue his apprenticeship if things don't end up going well.
Candidacy Opinions: Being searched was a pleasant surprise, since he fully expected to be forgotten about once he was sent to the cothold.
Candidate's Preferred Color: Echlerov doesn't care what color he impresses as long as he impresses.
Your Preferred Color: I'd love to see him on a Nocturnal dragon, but other than that, I don't really have any preferences. I just think it would be fun to play a type of dragon that most weyrs don't have.
Injury: I don't mind injuries, though I would prefer nothing worse than a broken arm or leg.
