PLAY-BY: Gaelio Bauduin
FULL APPEARANCE:
Gaelio is a tall young man at 6'4", his figure fit with broad shoulders. While not sporting a six pack, he's clearly muscled, especially when lacking in a shirt. His hair is a rich chestnut brown styled so that it sweeps to his left. One piece curls a bit at the end, and he often twirls it around his finger when in thought. Bright blue, his eyes are very expressive so it's easy to tell what kind of mood he's in. He used to dress formally as a hold's heir would, but as a candidate he is much more inclined to dress for the day, especially when there are chores to be done. He always appears well groomed, however.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Gaelio is a good-natured person who values kindness above all else in a person. He very much believes in the inherent goodness of people and is willing to naively trust that belief. It’s hard on him when he’s shown otherwise, whether by someone else or a person’s bad actions, especially if they are someone he’s close to. While he is a highly intelligent critical thinker, he can let his emotions get the better of him. He can be impulsive when his ego is challenged, but usually only when goaded by someone else. While a competent leader in his own right, he tends to follow those of a more forceful personality. Sometimes relies on others too much in order to mask any shortcomings of his own.
He's very book smart, but not street smart. Years of pampering have led him to be rather helpless on his own to the point where he'd be hard pressed to take care of himself were he on his own. He's embarrassed about it, but isn't sure how to go about learning day to day tasks, such a cooking and cleaning. Candidate lessons have given him more confidence as he learns how to fend for himself and a potential future dragon. He hates being written off as a ditz due to his easygoing ways and genuinely appreciates it when someone takes the time to explain something to him without being condescending that he doesn't understand.
Gaelio is honest to a fault and has a hard time lying. Little white lies can be tough for him even if they come from a good place (if it’s a lie to hide a surprise party, that’s a different story). Has a hard time saying no and may overburden himself because of it. Talkative with strangers and familiar folk alike and tries his best to make others laugh, even if his jokes are cheesy. He values deep, emotional connections over superficial ones, even if they're toxic.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Father: Gallius
Mother: Iora
Sister: Almiria, age 9
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Ein
BIRTHPLACE: Minor Hold north of Southern Boll on the coast
HISTORY:
The proudest moment of Gallius' life was when he and his wife welcomed their son into the world. Gaelio was an easy child, bright and intelligent, if a little lacking in street smarts. He was dutiful in his lessons and to his parents throughout his childhood, though he wasn't perfect. He got into mischief with his friends as many children did; bruised and scraped knees, broken toys, hurt feelings and the like. Disciplined as appropriate, he wasn't the most graceful at accepting punishment and would pout and cry, though he grew out of it as he aged.
The summer he turned thirteen, a large group of children took a trip to the beach to play. Gaelio lost his balance while climbing on the rocks and nearly fell into the the water, but another boy caught his arm and pulled him back up. Once he'd gotten over his fright, he properly introduced himself to his savior. He'd somehow never met this quiet boy before, but soon enough he dragged out his name (Ein) and declared him his official bodyguard. Ein agreed to keep this lordling from hurting himself. Before the group left the beach, they found a clutch of firelizard eggs and each took one. Gaelio's hatched into a Garnet he named Kimaris.
Two turns later, after he'd turned fifteen, Gaelio's little sister Almiria was born. He took to being a big brother like a dragon to the sky and doted on her relentlessly. They were close, almost as close as Gaelio and Ein became over the next few turns, so when he was searched at eighteen it was hard to say goodbye. Promising to write, he and Ein, who had been searched as well, gladly went to Fort to stand. Time and time again Gaelio was overlooked, much to his disappointment, and with the threat of aging out coming closer and closer, he hopes that a dragon will pick him before then.
