His skin is a rich tan from all the time spent in the fields and his muscles well developed from the work he did, but not bulging.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Tor is an anxious little guy. He is constantly worried about balancing how others view him with how he views himself. He is a follower rather than a leader and is afraid of making decisions without carefully considering all options. He is open and honest with everyone, winning friends easily, but also leading to others taking advantage of his naivety. He is fiercely loyal and protective of those who he bonds with. While Tor dislikes conflict, he wouldn't hesitate to do what needed to be done to protect those he cares about. He is constantly at war with himself about the expectations of who his family wants him to be and what he dreams of being himself.

Father
Younger Sisters

BIRTHPLACE: Family Farm outside Telgar Hold
HISTORY: For his entire life, Tor's parent had only set him one expectation. That he learn everything there was to runnerbeast breeding so he could run the family business when it was his time. From the moment he could walk, his father took him out to the fields and put him to work. When his sister was born, his parents stressed that it was his job to look after and provide for them. Tor was not only the oldest, but only son, and the expectations to provide were constantly drilled into his head.
It was shortly after they celebrated his birthday that his parents announced that he would be sent to the Beastcrafthall at Keroon to become an apprentice. His family was so proud of him and they began preparations for him to leave. That was before they Searched him though.
Tor would never - could never - forget the look of disappointment on his fathers face when the dragons came for him. Tor's own excitement and joy had been tempered, that day as it all came crashing down on him. His family's pride in him hinged entirely on whether or not he played the role they expected of him.
Of course Tor dreamed of flying on the backs of dragon, what kid on Pern didn't. But he never expected that his family would think of his being a rider as /undesirable/. Most parents would be thrilled to have their children join the ranks of the riders. But not Tor's.
