FULL APPEARANCE: Probably the most striking thing about Ethan's appearance is his carriage. Something about the way Ethan carries himself is inherently aggressive. He doesn't have to do much more than breathe to appear as if he's spoiling for some sort of fight or confrontation.
Perhaps it's the rigidness of his back. The defensive hunch of his shoulders. The tense extension of his arms and the way he often appears to be looking down his nose at the world. When he isn't glaring at it from beneath the mop of his hair. Despite his soft, somewhat boyish looks (a round face, undefined cheeks, wide nose and supple mouth), he is not approachable. His eyebrows are thunder clouds and his eyes are cold, hard-shut doors.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Ethan is definitely not an avoider. He is confrontational and hard headed. Willing to be in the group but not exactly of the group. He has a hard time accepting that point of views that do not align with his own are just as valid. Very much a his way or the flyway sort. Ethan has a very particular view of the world. He sees things just so, black and white with little room for grey areas or in-betweens. There is right, there is wrong, success and failure. No middle ground, no try. Do, don't. Yes, no. It often makes him uncomfortable to be around and leads to the sense of other he experiences with groups. It is hard to be a part of something when you are so unaccepting yourself.
Ethan is quick to anger and quick to react. He is very reactive, argumentative and on more than one occasion, obnoxious. While willing to hear another person out, Ethan also isn't above butting in and arguing his point. He knows everyone won't always agree with him, but that doesn't mean he's given up on the fact that they should. However, he is no so stubborn and close-minded that he can't be swayed to changing his opinion. It just tends to be such a horrible process, not many find it worth the effort.
He will question everything. Both for better understanding and to pick apart the things he does not agree with. However, he does not mouth off about things he doesn't understand, and is easily chastised by his own ignorance, hating to be found wrong or lacking in anyway.
HISTORY
FAMILY: Ethandar - father Anmara - mother Andamar - brother Enmandar - sister
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: lmfao
BIRTHPLACE: Unnamed mining community
HISTORY: Ethan is the middle child of a mining family. His father is a masterminer and his mother an apprentice healer, mostly helping with the miner scrapes and childbirth. Like his brother before him,
Ethan started young, doing small work for his father. Carrying buckets, bringing lunch to the miners, refilling glowbaskets. Small, simple work that was safe for a child too young to officially apprentice. He lived and breathed mining in a small community that was tightly knit and rather closed off. Their Gathers were made up of their residents and it was an event when a man left, even more so when one returned with a wife.
The girls had even less chance of escape, though a few wrangled freedom by joining crafts that had no proper teachers within their hold. Ethan's older brother went on to become a proper miner and a wherhandler, being picked by the community's old green to take care of one of her young. Ethan she never showed interest in, though he applied on more than one occasion. Which was frustrating, to say the least. His sister seemed to be following their mother's footsteps, though Ethan didn't have much thought to spare her.
Too busy learning his craft, though he had no passion for it, which caused his advancement in the ranks to be slow. It, perhaps, made the boy a bit bitter and mulish. The community did see dragons on occasion. They had a small (very small) vein of firestone they mined as needed. Usually only when the larger veins elsewhere were running low or short on miners. It was during a pick up of a small load of firestone that Ethan found himself under the interested gaze of a dragon.
Apparently, even though the green wher didn't find him interesting, the green dragon did. So off to High Reaches Weyr Ethan went. Not too sure how to feel about the sudden change in his life-path. Standing for dragon eggs.... he'd never imagined.
