EYES: Brown

FULL APPEARANCE: Bayani doesn't put TOO much effort into his physical appearance, but he does make sure to keep himself clean and smelling nice. His hair is usually a mess of wavy hair, and his clothes are more on the 'comfortable' and 'lived in' side ( baggier, patched in some places ). He's rarely if ever seen without a pair of goggles on him, usually on his forehead or around his neck, as they're a comfort object for him.
His posture is not great, but he does otherwise keep himself in decent physical health. As such, he's 'middle of the road' as far as muscles and stamina goes and his skin is tanned from many hours outside. He does prefer to walk and run as opposed to lifting things for exercise so his legs are stronger than his arms by a decent margin. His smile is bright and big, as he's often happy enough with where life has put him. His eyes are wide and with thick eyelashes.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Bayani is a kindly soul, preferring to talk things out rather than to fight. Some might say he's too timid to be of much use to any respectable organization, as he's prone to crying upon becoming too frustrated or too frightened. Regardless, he will rarely back down from a challenge if he thinks he can handle it.
His empathy levels are incredibly high, unwilling to harm others physically or emotionally unless pushed to. But he has been able to be incredibly cruel without realizing it, usually due to lashing out under stress. He enjoys socializing, and does his best to be as non-offensive as possible. It's a goal of his to start a new life where he can be surrounded by friends.
As far as the inter-Fort politics, he tends to shy away from it. He's not aggressive by nature and discussions about leadership and such tend to escalate to arguments. As such, he will do his best to avoid them, but will still try and formulate opinions based on what he knows and how he feels about events that play out.
Even after all that, there are some things he will not talk about, such as his childhood or upbringing. Any mention of parents or family will cause him to divert the conversation to anything else, or cause him to leave it all together.

BIRTHPLACE: an unnamed cothold
HISTORY:
Bayani's upbringing was simple enough.
His parents weren't wealthy, but could uphold and keep their cothold secure and functional. They could afford to house and feed everyone they took in and still manage to be comfortable.
While his mother was able to teach him to read, write and perform basic math, she had high hopes for him. She pushed him to try and be like her and try and pick a Craft to start to learn. Unfortunately, Bayani, while talented, expressed no interest in furthering his education on such matters.
The window for apprenticeship came and went, leaving her disappointed and Bayani on edge. He only really had one job in mind, and it had little to do with the traditions his family held.
Bayani aspired to ride one of the dragons that he would occasionally see overhead, wondering how it must feel to be that high up and so free. So at the mention of an increase in Searches, he did his best to get the attention of one. While a few attempts at meeting Search dragons at bigger Holds fell through, he was lucky enough to have one stop by his Cothold. He was prepared to beg and bargain for any means of escape, but it seemed that he wouldn't need to push that hard. They needed Candidates.
While his parents did not approve, he was 18 at the time and old enough to cut ties with them all together. The day he left is not one he recalls fondly, as there had been much arguing and shouting the night before.
But he doesn't think about that anymore.
He's finally able to leave home, starting his own life. He hopes to Impress a dragon, of course. But that failing, he will try and impress any number of new friends, regardless of where he ends up.
