FULL APPEARANCE:
Kaelin isn't someone who massively stands out in a crowd but his bright hair certainly makes him easier to spot than most, being a rich strawberry blonde hair color. Paired together with his bright greenish gray eyes, he tends to ooze cheerful energy. Freckles pepper his face though they are very faint and hard to spot if not close to his face. His lips are full and often curved into a smile, as he is often overly optimistic. His nose is shapely and not to large and fits his more heart shaped facial structure. His ears are a bit on the larger side and he often tries to comb his bushel of curly hair over them to hide them. His body frame is very lanky and the term beanpole definitely applies to him.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Kaelin is a kind young man with a heart too soft for his own good. He feels guilty about hurting even the tiniest of creatures, even if he steps on a small bug, he will be sad and feel like he has to atone for such cruelty as snuffing out a life. His warmth and kindness is extended to those around him and he finds making friends to be something he is proficient at. That being said, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed, often being easily mislead and manipulated into poor choices.
He is also very jumpy when it comes to suddenly loud high pitched sounds and tends to launch whatever he has in his hands and there may be a shriek of surprise as well. He leans heavily on his best mate Thane for the support and reassurance he needs to keep his confidence up, though inside he is a bit of a coward when it comes to confrontations and would rather just quietly support others from the background, the idea of being center stage frightens him immensely.
A man with a very active imagination, he often will launch into stories and such to those around him, sharing his dreams and ambitions and thoughts with just about anyone that will listen. His tendency to ramble endlessly isn't the most endearing trait but honestly, he is just really enthusiastic about things he likes.

BIRTHPLACE: Telgar Weyr
HISTORY:
Kaelin was born to Gymlin and Kaethul in late fall of 2754. He grew up within the creche as all rider children typically did, however he did enjoy the moments he got to go on "adventures" with his mother and the stories she would tell him of her life. He soaked it up like the happy little clam he was and his time with his father was no less interesting, even though it was far less than with his mother. He bonded quickly to a lad named Thane, whom he admired for being so much braver and smarter than him and cherished the times his mother would take him out and he would get to see his friend.
When he turned 12, his father visited him with a gift, a large herding dog he named Minerva. He spent a lot of time with his dog, teaching her tricks and marvelled how fast she seemed to learn and how she tended to stay calm, even when he would go into full blown panics. The dog would lay her head on his lap and it soothed him every time. This began to help a bit with his anxiety though he never really outgrew the jumpiness.
When he was of age, he decided he wanted to become a rider.. but not in his home weyr, oh no... he HAD to go to Fort like in the stories he grew up with! It was Pern's first settlement and he just had to go seek his adventures there! But he did not wish to go alone and after telling his mother, he then went to his best friend Thane and pleaded with him to come along... which for some reason.. he did!
When he arrived, he presented himself to the candidate master and thus began his grandest adventure yet! While he has not impressed yet, he is hoping someday soon will be his moment.
