FULL APPEARANCE: Dennys has a rectangular sort of face and strong cheekbones, his hair is always pushed back out of his face as he hates when it falls in front of his eyes. He has tanned beige skin that is free of blemishes or freckles or scars, it’s quite soft too. He’s that cross between handsome and cute at the same time, and his smile? Is very pretty.
A fan of comfort, Dennys enjoys wearing soft pastel shirts, something someone could cuddle up into and fall asleep in at any moment. He balances this out with darker jackets, pants and boots.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Dennys has an out-there sort of sense of humor, he’ll crack a joke at the worst of times and never seem to be serious. These jokes are, more often than not, food based. And if they’re not? They’re pure sass. The truth of the matter is, it's all a ploy to get others to like him better. The more charismatic and approachable he makes himself, the more friends he’ll manage to acquire. Having people that he can trust and be himself around his what he truly wants. Dennys hates when people ask him if he’s sick or tired when he lets his guard down because his real self is something quite serious and calm. A total flip from what he appears to be, Dennys is a smart and strategic man who knows what will help give him what he wants. Luckily, all he wants are friends, not power or responsibility, so he would never use his talent for strategy for darker purposes.
While being his true self, he is softer, slower, less someone who is raring to go to a party and more someone who is watching and waiting for the next move in a game of chess. His jokiness has slipped into this and he still makes jokes, but is much more prone to ‘roast’ out of the blue rather than to make food jokes. Does he mean these quick insults? No, they’re offhanded jokes that come out once in a while, he expects his friends to be able to handle them. If they can’t? He’ll make it up to them in any way he knows how, apologizing at every turn. He is a kind man, not rude, and he doesn’t want to be seen as rude.

BIRTHPLACE: High Reaches Weyr
HISTORY: Eight children is nothing to shake a stick at, Dennys knew this. Being both the oldest and the only boy, that was the hard part. Little sisters crowded him, made him grow his hair out and styled it to their will, but he didn’t mind. He was good to his sisters and tried to give them the world. They were like a mini-gang of siblings and that meant Dennys was their de facto leader, but none of them cared to do anything wrong. They went around just trying to have a good time.
When not with his gaggle of sisters, Dennys was learning how to become a cook. It was the simplest thing in the world, cooking. You put the food over something hot and it cooked, done. You put good tasting things together, cook them, and they taste better, done. He kept going with his natural skill towards cooking that he kept building and building onto until he had a recipe book in the back of his mind.
When he came of age, his sisters were the backing force in making him become a candidate. It would be a while until Denysa could become one, and they all wanted to become one, so if their brother could do it first so they’d know how everything went, well that’d be a lifesaver. He did, and it took him one full year to Impress to a blue, to his surprise, he thought that it should have taken longer. A lot of candidates spend a long time on the Sands, and it just took him a year? Surprising indeed, but there were no complains.
Still doubling as a cook when he could manage the time (which was his true passion anyway, so he made time even if there was none), Dennys was glad to be in the Starfall wing. It was nice, lots of blues, just like Vilkarath, as well as a ton of greens. It was when massive Threadfall hit and Moonshot got whammed that stuff started getting messed around. People from Firestorm moved up into Moonshot to fill up spots, so, in order to fill up spots that were left blank, Dennys moved into Firestorm.
