FULL APPEARANCE: T'fon is slightly below average height, and a little soft and chubby. His skin is a dark-ish brown, with round facial features, looking slightly younger than he is. His hair is short, black, and fluffy; he also has a subtle beard around his chin. His eyes also similarly so dark they appear almost black, and he wears glasses. He often wears comfortable clothing, not caring too much for fashion over comfort and practicality.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: T'fon is kind, generous, and selfless - he would do anything to help out a friend. He tends to show deep affection by giving people gifts, and always willing to listen to people and cheer people up. Although he wishes he could be extroverted, and make plenty of friends, he unfortunately struggles with social situations, and can be shy, using every ounce of courage within him to approach people and incite conversation. However, he is willing to take risks with other things that do not necessarily potentially involve social conflict; for example, he loves to travel and discover new places - which was what drove him to visit Semaca Weyr in the first place. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, he changes his mind about the risks he takes and regrets them, hence why he came back to Fort as soon as his weyrlinghood ended.
He is intelligent and analytical, however, he has low tolerance for people who don't understand what he is trying to say, and often gets stressed or wound up. He doesn't really get along well with people who aren't at least willing to learn new things or seek knowledge - while he wouldn't mind helping people who aren't as smart, he doesn't have much patience for people with low intelligence, as much as he'd hate to admit it. On the contrary, he's not very streetwise, and doesn't usually think things through before he does them, and is somewhat naive. As well as this, he is very trusting and forgiving, but perhaps too much - not yet realising that this could get him into trouble. The way he sees things, he simply wants to make friends, and will simply brush off any minor wrongful acts they may do, unless he considers them too serious to ignore. After all - his moral compass is strong, and he doesn't want to associate himself with people who are overtly rude or aggressive or outright evil.
HISTORY

SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Nope
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY:
Taifonas' childhood was fairly standard; he grew up at Fort Weyr and lived there for the entire duration of his early years. His parents, simply weyrfolk who had both aged out of candidacy, were in a loving relationship, and they cherished their son like nothing else. His childhood was fairly uneventful, but due to how quiet and studious he was, he never often got on with many of the other kids and never really made a proper friend. He preferred the company of his parents. He became a candidate as soon as he was able to - his parents encouraged him heavily to do so. They said that although they had failed many a time, they were sure that a dragon would one day find a life partner in their son.
Unfortunately, many, many hatchings at Fort Weyr passed him by. He didn't want to lose hope, but it was incredibly disheartening to him to constantly be rejected. The only egg that came his way was a firelizard egg he found, a cute green whom he promptly named Friend. It wasn't until he had turned 20, that he decided to move to Semaca Weyr - this was an incredibly risky decision, but, he always dreamed of travelling, and he was admittedly intrigued in this new Weyr, and he hoped it'd bring him luck. He stood at Nebulaeth's maiden hatching in the autumn of 2767, a very eventful one to say the least. He was concerned and shocked when he witnessed a candidate get mauled and then refuse to leave the sands, thus traumatising their dragon - however, the most important event of this hatching for Taifonas was when a fiery bronze emerged from an egg and started to approach him; he finally had made the best friend he always wanted. He knew that his parents would be proud of him.
It took him some time to get used to Titabeth's natural warrior-child personality, but he knew that in the end, his natural confidence and charisma would help T'fon greatly; not only that, but he was also extremely wise, helping his rider through the new difficult situations he often found himself in at Semaca; such as the threat of dangerous, wild animals. He realised, some way through his weyrlinghood, that he didn't like Semaca. It was too much for him - he would regret his decision had he not Impressed to Titabeth. He also realised that if he were to think about taking risks he may regret later, Titabeth would help him assess the situation. Both dragon and rider knew they made the right choice. After graduation, they decided to set sail back to Fort Weyr, where he was once again reunited with his parents.
