FULL APPEARANCE:
King is pretty cute. He has big eyes, a round face, and a short stature, which all add up to pretty stereotypical amounts of cute. He has wavy black hair that he tends to grow out past his ears and an olive complexion. His voice isn't terribly high pitched, but it tends to get squeakier if he's surprised or upset, which only adds to the impression of cuteness. He tends to wear slightly oversized sweaters to hide any hint of femininity in his body (he is not particularly curvy, so luckily that's easy to do) but this only further emphasizes how small he is. He tends to like stripes and patterns on his clothes, but the colors he picks often clash and don't fall in any one color category.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
King is full of energy, and a little chaotic at times. He tends to approach tasks with enthusiasm, but not much skill, which can often leave people asking him to stop 'helping'. He loves to be doing something, and especially likes to be the center of attention. He wants to be taken seriously, to be a leader, but he doesn't really have a head for the details that would entail. He can be a little bit dense at times, but he ultimately has a good heart and wants to protect and help the people he cares about.
If there is one thing King absolutely cannot stand, it is being called cute. This is the ultimate indignity, and he will threaten to fight them or do something particularly daring (or stupid) to prove that he's brave and strong. Unfortunately for him, his looks tend to give that impression, and he is constantly self-conscious about it. He's worried that he'll grow up to be more cute somehow, which is a fate worse than death in his opinion. He's not self-conscious about his gender, though, and is usually pretty comfortable with his body outside of the cuteness aspect.
King is completely colorblind, and doesn't seem to grasp the fact that colors exist for other people. He knows that the sky is blue because people say it is, and he knows dragons have colors, but he thinks of those as just rank names and he truly doesn't get how people tell them apart so confidently. He assumes everyone else must see the world the way he does, and doesn't really understand all the fuss about dragon colors since they all look the same anyway.
King's main self soothing method is food. Food when he's sad, food when he needs to motivate himself. If there's food involved, he's there. When he can't get his way, he tends to throw a bit of a tantrum, yelling about how unfair it is and stomping around, knocking things over to be petty. He's still fairly young, and still has some growing and maturing to do, and it shows.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Semacan Weyrfolk
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None
BIRTHPLACE: Mid-sized hold in Igen territory
HISTORY:
King's parents were woodworkers in a medium Hold. It wasn't the most lucrative business, and when work was slow they'd hire themselves out as hired hands at various farms. King loved when they worked on farms, getting to run around with the other kids. He thought the woodworking projects were cool when they were done, but he didn't have much patience for the process of getting there.
When the floods hit Semaca, King was seven, and his parents started talking about whether they should take a gamble, uproot their entire lives, and move somewhere where their skills would be more valued and were so desperately needed. They ultimately decided to go for it, and the next turn they sailed for Semaca. King decided that Semaca was pretty cool. There were way more kids around, for one thing, and dragons all over the place! Kinda made up for the fact that they couldn't leave the Weyr without getting eaten by spotties. And it was super cool being around stuff that even grownups openly didn't know anything about.
As he got older, he realized that maybe he could be a dragonrider too! After all, they would just make any old member of the Weyr a rider if they went to Dragon Day and a dragon said they could! If that was all it took, King definitely could be one. He'd been to loads of Dragon Days, so surely it couldn't be that hard to get a dragon to say they liked the look of him!
