FULL APPEARANCE:
A man of average height and build, Erugo isn't much to look at. Not to say he's decisively unattractive, he's just not particularly remarkable. His hair is short and messy, usually sticking up at odd angles, and dark, nearly black shade of brown. His skin is pale with only a faint tan in the summers, and his eyes are green, though in some lights can appear a bit more blue.
As far as clothing goes, he typically wears browns and rustic colors, only practical garments.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Erugo possesses quite a humble personality. Behind this gentle character, he is a thoughtful, determined, and strong person. Beyond this, he is also a victim of self-doubt and uncertainty, as a result of a particularly poor memory. He writes everything down whenever possible and keeps journals to remind himself of the days' important happenings. He's notorious for forgetting things like dates or meetings if they aren't written down or given to him in writing.
Whenever possible, he refrains from committing violent acts, preferring to escape from conflict altogether or serve as the pacifist in a tense situation. More likely, he'll excuse himself or outright flee the situation rather than deal with it. This aversion includes social conflicts, not just physical ones, which can irreversibly harm his relationships as he prefers to avoid rather than confront. That said, in worst-case scenarios, such as being backed into a corner, he will stand up for those he cares about--physically or verbally.
He has some trouble acknowledging his faults, though not in an arrogant sort of way. He knows he's human and has faults and will make mistakes, but he doesn't like thinking that he's done something wrong or that there's "something else" wrong with him.

BIRTHPLACE: Igen Hold
HISTORY: Warning: Life-altering Injury
Erugo was born to a pair of Holders who worked in the fields of Igen hold. He had no brothers or sisters and was doted on by his parents as an only child. They worked hard to provide for him, and saw to it he even received a very basic education from a local Harper. As he grew, he had hopeful future ahead of him, even with his not-so-stellar memory. He picked up a Craft as soon as he was able, his parents spending their hard-earned Marks to see him trained under one of the Hold's Tanners.
Eventually he was Searched to his patron Weyr--and his parents saw him off with may well-wishes, knowing that even if he didn't Impress he would have far more opportunities in the Weyr than the Hold. A better education, more opportunities to pursue crafts--the sky was the limit. And as luck would have it, he bonded! Two Turns after he arrived, at nineteen, he bonded to his wonderful green. Life was excellent, he had a wonderful lifepartner, a craft to fall back on, but luck would not remain on his side forever. One fateful day, during Weyrling training, he suffered a serious head injury. While not visibly scarred from the incident, he now suffers from even worse memory problems and he requires frequent breaks when performing long physical exercises. Threadfall is tough and it is an exercise in both rider and dragon to make sure they make it out of between safely.
With trouble recalling even his family's names and faces, he had little inclination to remain in Igen. When Peorith and her "class" reached five Turns, he chose to transfer to Semaca, where he saw himself as potentially being "more useful." Not to mention, what he knew of their workings even he with his poor memory could be useful even if he could no longer fight Thread. After all, he could pick up a new craft, or make himself useful with drudgework.
