" I'll be your hope when you feel like it's over
And I will pick you up when your whole world shatters
And when you're finally in my arms
Look up and see love has a face."

PLAY-BY: Malleus Draconia (Twisted Wonderland)
FULL APPEARANCE:
Malleus is a tall man with a slender but well fit build, standing at 6'6" and having a bit of muscle definition, as being an active dragon rider has kept him in decent physical condition. He has deep ink black hair and bright green eyes framed by long lashes and almost almond in shape. His nose is petite and might even seem too small for his face if not for being sat over a pair of thinner but full lips, often pursed in thought.
His hair is longer but kept neatly tied back in a low horse tail and his clothing is simply darker colors except in the summer when he wears lighter greens or browns. He keeps well groomed and lacks any facial hair, as it unnerves him when it does grow and he shaves it off as soon as he can.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Malleus is a rather quiet and calm young man and he gives his full effort behind everything he does, even to the point of obsessional with finishing what he starts. Despite what may seem as a cool or even cold exterior, he actually is very kind, loving and compassionate once he feels close to someone and that he can trust them.
His tendency to hyper fixate on a task or an idea before him often causes him to forget other things of importance, be they great or small and when it does occur to him he forgot something, he usually shows up late or sometimes... miss things entirely. Its not a trait that shows him to be as reliable and a bit scatterbrained.
He isn't one that likes confrontations that much and will avoid them if there is any other more civil discourse to a situation. If there is not, he will be firm, direct and not mince words, as he would very much like to be done with what he sees as being a bit mean.
He is not the most socially adapt man, having grown up with a difficult and overbearing mother and a brat of an elder brother and the fairly recent news of his true father figure throwing him into a bit of a predicament and his trust is something that will be more difficult to gain. Keeping people at a distance these days, while he wants friends and connections badly, his mind is at war with his heart and it is difficult for him to reconcile with the fragmented thoughts.

BIRTHPLACE: Draconia Hold ( Small hold beholden to Telgar)
HISTORY:
Malleus was born to holder parents, their second son when the heir was four years old. His early years were calm enough, learning what was expected of him, of his place in the family. He enjoyed the learning, proving to have quick mind and dedicated his full effort in everything he did. But despite everything he did, his mother was never appeased and constantly compared him to his more successful and charming elder brother.
A quiet resentment forked inside him over this but he bit his tongue and kept striving to be the best he could be. He was often in his brother's shadow and his elder brother liked making him know he would never be good enough, mocking the lad and being a general bully of an elder sibling.
During moments of his brother being a general jerk to him, he would retreat out to the stables, a place he felt was safe from running into his brother. It was here that he met his mother's guard and chief wherhandler named Diaval. He found the older man nice to talk to and often began to visit him, getting to know the other male and found his wher a pleasant and calm creature.
After a few years, Malleus stopped responding to his brother's barbs and just quietly kept to himself and the elder sibling grew bored and moved on. During this time, Malleus often went outside their hold to visit the neighboring area to purchase apples from a favorite family vendor for his mother's cider, in the company of Diaval.
It was during one of these visits with Diaval, when he was 15, he encountered a search rider while out in the market districts and he was told he had the potential. Rushing back home, he told his mother, whom crushed his excitement by telling him that he should be more focused on being what he should be learning to support his brother. But she didn't ultimately stop him and he made the choice to go become a candidate.
He stood unimpressed for many turns and during this time, he furthered his knowledge into dragons and study of threadfall patterns and how to deal with them. On the dawn of his 19th turn, he stood for a clutch where a mighty greenish bronze hatched. He paced the lines of candidates until stopping at Malleus and staring long and hard for a moment before rainbows swam in his eyes.
" Malleus... in the dark you will no longer stay. You are the one I was looking for. Its time to stop living in the shadows and step into the sun where you belong. I, your Briaroseth accept you for who you are."
He.. no she said and he was surprised. Not only was this beautiful bronze picking him.. her voice was soothing, like the fall of rain on a peaceful afternoon and he felt a deep seated pain rush to him at once. Her simple words caused him to actually tear up. It was as if she seen into his soul.. and embraced him, no matter how disappointing he thought he was.
Weyrlinghood was fairly uneventful and he graduated with his peers when the time came. But when he tried to come back home, he was turned away. It was soon he learned the truth of his birth.. and he was not wanted or welcome at home any longer, as his brother made it clear he was a stain on the family and used his influence to have him sent away.
Being told who his true father was.. he was shocked. Diaval seemed such a nice person to him all these years.. did he know and never tell him? Emotions coiled inside him like a raging storm. He had to know. It was then he heard Diaval had left for High Reaches and so when he could transfer there, he did and joined the Firestorm wing for the time being. He continues to search for his true father, wanting to get the answers he so desperately needs.
