BASICS

RETIRE INFO: Retire
NAME: Ariruen
GENDER: Male, Cis
PRONOUNS: he/him/his
ORIENTATION: Panromantic demisexual

BIRTHDATE: Spring 2751
AGE: 18 as of Winter 2769
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Candidate
WING: N/A

APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown, with significant bags under them, most of the time.
HAIR: Black, in a messy style. Would be around ear length, if it wasn't an absolute disaster.
HEIGHT AND BUILD: Average - 6'0", and slightly, SLIGHTLY on the thinner side.
PLAY-BY: Art incoming.
FULL APPEARANCE: Plain. Ariruen is plain. He doesn't stand out much, and that's an understatement. He has few defining physical characteristics--average Pernese male height at 6' even, black hair cropped in a messy style, dark brown eyes, and an ordinary, forgettable face. His build is average, but closer towards scrawny than bulky. While he is lithe, flexible, and quick, he lacks in the strength department, but even those traits are not significantly so. No scars, no marks, nothing notable about his complexion. A straight nose, not too narrow, not too broad. His eyes are a bit small, maybe, but even that isn't especially noticeable. Perhaps his most defining characteristic is his pale skin, and the fact that it makes the bags under his eyes look all the more prominent.

With a relaxed but strong gait/posture, even his ways of moving and standing aren't note-worthy. He slides through life in a physically unremarkable way. While sometimes he wants to play this up, he usually wears colors to help him stand out, just a little. His favorites are royal blues and purples, but he's also partial to teal. Despite his desire to stand out with color, he wears otherwise practical clothing and avoids anything too elaborate or fashionable. Just simple clothing, albeit in a nice color.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Ariruen is always waiting, always watching. If you speak too much, you can’t very well listen, can you? He’s reserved, as a result, but don’t mistake it for shyness. He is surprisingly confident and strong of will--he won’t let himself be pushed around or walked over. He doesn’t mind being around people, but isn't very socially adept. He doesn't seem to say much, and blends in a little too well. He seems pleasant, if not quiet. It isn’t just that he prefers to listen; rather, he uses what he hears, learning and adapting. He can manipulate a situation, even if he can't quite manipulate people directly. He has a keen mind, one that takes in information and processes it quickly. Resourceful, but quick to adjust, he would show skill with thread-related exercises. That isn’t to say that Ariruen is a bad person. He doesn’t hurt others if he can help it. Sometimes, people need to be hurt, but he always stops to help someone in need. The strong do not need his help, so he often disdains their suffering. It is the weak and fearful that need him. Surprisingly, he seems to find himself as the only one who can help those who lack power. Although he gets along with specific people, he does not enjoy the company of most, and can be a bit antisocial. There are very few people that he feels he can rely on. He gets along well with children and animals, perhaps because he wants to be needed. A desperate desire--he needs someone to want him, to need him, even to depend on him.

Despite his determination and strength, Ariruen has a strong feeling of inadequacy. As far as he’s concerned, things have never been easy for him. Dragons weren’t drawn to him, and despite his keen mind, he isn't charismatic. Often too withdrawn, he rarely makes much of an impression. He knows things have been hard for him at times, and that he may not have what it takes to be a rider. Despite, or because of this, he tries even harder. Ariruen is ambitious and hardworking, but takes himself too seriously. You’d think it was life or death, but to him, it feels like it. Expectations have been placed on him. He has something to prove, but everything to lose, as far as he’s concerned. He fights hard for what he wants, and is determined to reach the top. Perhaps because he overworks himself, throwing himself into studies and duties, he always seems a bit tired. He believes he has to give everything 100%, and often runs himself ragged trying to succeed. Ariruen may also be a little tired of people’s crap--he doesn’t take excuses or insults, tending to respond with sass or sarcasm, if he does respond to idiots at all. That said, he doesn’t have much of a sense of humor, and seems dry, apathetic, and dull to some. He's too serious, and often uninterested in people.

He feels strongly, despite seeming like the opposite. He resents those who have natural talents in their chosen craft, as well as those who know for sure that they have rider potential. He will fight his way to the top, even if he has more to prove, a longer past than some. Most of this mindset is self-imposed, however--the grass is greener on the other side, after all, and everyone else seems to have such wonderful lives. Above all, he has two goals; his craft, and a dragon. Nothing else will do. No matter what, he will get there--he will be the best and achieve his goals, even if he has to step on others. He must prove people wrong. His honor code is a bit strange--he is willing to hurt the strong, but he won't kick someone who is down, or harm the helpless or weak. If someone who he resents loses what they have, his opinion and actions shift, and he will drop what he has to help them. Everything he does, he does for the weak. The strong, the blessed, those with charmed lives? They can absolutely go forsk themselves.
