FULL APPEARANCE:
Sonic is a man around average height who is physically fit. He isn't super beefy and is made up more of lean muscle. He tends to pull back his brown hair with something, either with his goggles or by slicking it back. He has tan skin and a smattering of freckles across his cheeks. He tends to wear clothes that don't restrict his movement, like short-sleeved shirts.
Sonic is and has always been a fast runner (and by extension, walker) and has a fair amount of stamina to back it up. Don't expect him to know how to swim though, as he never learned.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Sonic is energetic verging on restless. He never wants to stay in one spot for too long and wants to see the world more than anything else in his life. He's claustrophobic and hates being in enclosed spaces, aiding in his want to be outside and see everything. He has that 'cool guy' sort of charisma and confidence. He's cocky, sassy, sarcastic, and is certainly not afraid to talk to anyone with who he comes into contact. He loves to engage in back and forth banter with anyone who's willing to do the same with him. Sonic is fiercely loyal to his friends.
He's impatient to a fault and can't stand waiting for things regardless of how long he actually has to wait. His intense confidence in himself can be misplaced quite easily, and that can lead him to run headfirst into problems he has no reason to insert himself into. He finds himself way out of his league very quickly, and very often. Said confidence can also lead him down into being very arrogant and narcissistic, boasting about himself whenever he gets the chance while also trash-talking people behind their backs to make him seem better than them.
Sonic also has a soft spot for music and loves listening to harpers whenever he can.

BIRTHPLACE: Mobius Hold (somewhere in that expanse of land where Greenfields is located)
HISTORY:
Sonic was born the oldest of four kids in Mobius Hold, a smallish hold somewhere between Greenfields hold and Campbell's Field hold. There were a fair amount of kids around his age, mainly because the hold was comprised of farmers who wanted some extra hands around to work on their fields to make the work easier. Where Sonic had a good relationship with his youngest siblings, Moric and Sonia, it was with his younger brother, Sisco, that Sonic found his first rivalry. As the two brothers grew older, the rivalry became sourer and sourer, so the two just made a point to stay out of each other's way whenever they could.
With all the kids around their hold working in the fields, it would only take a little while before Sonic had made friends with them. The first handful of kids around his age that he met he soon became the closest with, and the group of teens hung around each other whenever they weren't working. He'd met another guy their age living in the hold, Kieran, who he immediately ended up creating a rivalry with- albeit, one that was a lot friendlier than the one between him and his brother. Kieran and Sonic's egos clashed in a way that made Sonic want to best him whenever he could, and by Faranth, he sure tried.
His most outrageous attempt at besting Kieran was by getting a wher egg when he was 21. He would be more beneficial to the hold if he could protect it from dangers outside of its boundaries, more beneficial than Kieran, that was. After buying the egg, it shook, cracked, and eventually, the wher that popped out of it was a bright red color all over. One of those... garnet gals he'd heard about. But apparently, this garnet wasn't a gal, no, he was just a bright red fella. Didn't matter, only thing that did matter was this garnet wher was his. The rest of his friend group ended up following in his footsteps, and soon enough, there were a fair amount of wherhandlers there to protect Mobius Hold.
This attempt at besting Kieran fell through, however, as he didn't realize that Kieran could ALSO buy a wher egg. Which he did. Followed by his own brother, Sisco, buying one as well. This infuriated Sonic's ego, and he needed to do something about it. How could he one up the both of them? He thought about it for a few years while he protected his home. Eventually, his want to see the world combined with his need to do more than his rivals and he hatched a plan. He'd go to High Reaches and be a wherhandler there, join up with one of the squads and everything, reasoning that be doing way more for a weyr than anyone would be doing for a hold. And so, that was what he did.
As a newcomer to High Reaches, Sonic is still trying to wrap his head around all the issues that are popping up there. He does understand why Aldoeith leaving isn't the best thing for the weyr, but... he's a wherhandler? Why should he care? It's not like it directly affects him, right? In his spare time, he's been sending letters to his friends- er, getting someone who can write to send a letter to someone at the hold who can read the letter to his friends- and trying to convince them to move to High Reaches. While he likes his new home, he will admit, it is a bit lonely without the people who knew him best.
