Candidate Bronson

BRONSON

"My dad works at Nintendo, and HE says - "

BASICS

NAME: Bronson
GENDER: Cis Boy
PRONOUNS: he/him/his
ORIENTATION: Straight

BIRTHDATE: Winter of 2759
AGE: 17 as of 2775
LOCATION: For Weyr
WING: N/A

APPEARANCE
EYES: Hazel
HAIR: Dirty blond
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'11 and solid
PLAY-BY: Picrew created here
FULL APPEARANCE: Bronson is fairly average in height and build. He keeps his light hair cut short. He has pretty typical masculine features, and a mole on his chin. He prefers masculine clothing in fairly bland colors. He tends to talk in a self-assured tone, and carries himself like he thinks he's the most important person and expects everyone else to think so too.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Bronson knows everything there is to know about dragons, at least that’s what he thinks. Anyone who tries to tell him he’s wrong is either wrong themselves or secretly jealous. Bronson needs to always be the smartest person in the room, and he will do anything to make sure that happens. A lot of this is down to the fact that he’s very insecure about the fact that there’s nothing particularly special about him. There’s nothing in particular he excels at, and his family is more typical than not, so instead he just tries to be the loudest and the center of attention whenever he can. There’s always the chance he’ll mellow out as he gets older and more secure in himself, but for now, he’s an annoying teen.

Bronson cares more about other people thinking he’s a good person than actually being a good person. He’ll only help if others are watching, and makes a big show of what a great person he is for helping. If he feels like someone isn't appropriately appreciative or in awe of him, he will spread mean rumors and make their life harder on purpose, although he does try to be subtle about it so he doesn’t get into trouble himself. He’s a suck-up and tries to ingratiate himself to authority figures so it’s easier for him to get away with things.

Bronson has some outdated views on dragons and genders, but as he likes the optics of looking like a good person, he won’t say as much aloud. His views come from a couple of questionable role models and being allowed to read scrolls and listen to harper stories without being provided any critical analysis of why those views were outdated and harmful. He was drawn to them because they validated his idea that he is just inherently special. Bronson very much wants to the protagonist of his own story, and he doesn’t think a protagonist can be anything less than exceptional in some way.

Despite his many flaws, Bronson can sometimes be kind. He loves his mother very much, and worries about her a great deal. Part of why he went to the Weyr was so she wouldn’t have to worry as much about taking care of him and could spend more time taking care of herself. He can be capable of thinking about others, but it is rare, and often only after they’ve validated he’s exceptional or special in some way. As his mother's only child, she has made him feel sufficiently special.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Brona, mother - woman from minor hold near Fort
Father - brownrider from a distant weyr
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None
BIRTHPLACE: Minor hold near fort
HISTORY:
Bronson’s father was a brownrider who spent one night in the hold Bronson's mother lived in. Bronson’s mother cares about Bronson a great deal, but as an only parent had to spend more time worrying about making sure his basic needs were being met than she could about instilling life lessons onto him. As a result, Bronson’s views of the world come from a variety of sources that didn’t always have his best interests at heart. Having an absentee dragonrider father also fed into Bronson’s idea that he was destined for great things, which gave him an oversized ego.

Bronson learned as much as he could about dragons in an attempt to be closer to his father. Some of it is just out and out wrong or extremely outdated, but any criticism of his knowledge felt like an attack on his dad so Bronson very quickly learned to be extremely defensive about his (often wrong) assertions. Before long, to hear Bronson tell it, his father was actually a bronzerider, but everyone was so jealous of how awesome he was that they just said he was a brownrider. Being the son of a bronzerider fits better into Bronson’s idea of himself anyway, so it’s the story he tells. He was not surprised when he was searched, and is pleased that Fort recognized his potential so he wouldn’t have to make the trip to a farther Weyr since he’s obviously destined to be a bronzerider like he claims his father was.

UPDATES
  • Fall 2776 - camping when whers attacked. Got a trivial scratch on his leg as a glancing blow from a wher's claw as he was rescued

IC Information
What type of candidate is your character: Dragon

What color/s does your character want?: Bronze. Brown if he must
Does your character have any personality preferences or concerns?: He needs a dragon as amazing as he is, one that also recognizes that Bronson is as amazing as he always claims to be.
Does your character have any other preferences or concerns?: Can't be imperfect in any way. Oh, and it should really be one of the bigger bronzes (or browns, he guesses). So it should really come from a Gold/Bronze clutch. None of these weak Gold/Blue clutches, ugh

OOC Information
What color(s) are you willing for your character to impress to?: White, green, blue, or garnet
Do you want your character to be eligible for gold?: No forsking way
Do you have any personality preferences or concerns?: He shouldn't be paired with someone he can steamroll or bully
Do you have any other preferences or concerns?: I would prefer a female dragon for him, or a dragon with she/her pronouns barring that
Why do you think these choice/s would be a good fit?: Bronson thinks female dragons are lesser/subservient to male dragons, and he needs to learn that is not the case. Also, his ego is too big, and he needs to learn that he does not have to be exceptional to be happy or loved.

Do you have any preferences about the conditions of your character’s impression?: I would love it if he got injured during at least one hatching
Are you alright with your character getting hurt? What injury level is acceptable/what should be avoided?: Anything that isn't death is fine. Feel free to really mess him up
Are you willing to impress a creature with a mutation/oddity? Anything that should be avoided?: Smaller mutations/oddities are fine, but anything major and Bronson will be an absolute jerk to his poor dragon and no one deserves that

Is there anything you will ABSOLUTELY NOT accept?: Bronze or brown. He thinks he's Faranth's gift to dragons, and if he impresses to either of those colors, he will become even more insufferable

APOLLINE
Image

BASICS

NAME: Apolline
BIRTHDATE Early Summer of 2774
AGE: 1 as of 2775

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Gold
FULL APPEARANCE:
Apolline is what some (Bronson) might call curvy by draconic standards, but others might just call plump. Her body is one uniform shade of vibrant gold. Her wings have paler lines on them that end in triangles that look a bit like arrowshafts.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Apolline can be a little haughty (she is a gold, after all) and very particular about how she wants things. She has a very maternal side, and will often fuss over young ones and anyone who is ill or inquired as if they were her own eggs. To her bonded, she can be more demanding than nurturing, but that's because she knows she's worth pampering.
