"Stand tall, my friend
May all of the dark lost inside you find light again
In time tumbling, turning, we seek amends
Eternal winds to the land descend
Our journey will never end"

FULL APPEARANCE:
A man who always looks like he has his life together, Vallauris keeps himself as neat and tidy as he can. He has a sharp face, with high cheekbones and carefully styled hair. While white is not a really smart - or cheap - attire for a healer, he does enjoy wearing it though most of the time he has to be convinced to wear darker colors that will hide blood and any other injury fluids. He somehow looks tired most of the time. He prefers to wear longer robes and high boots.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Vallauris is a very loving, compassionate person. He cares a lot about everyone and everything. He takes his work very seriously, and has to make sure that he has done everything to the utmost perfection - or close to it. Someone being hurt will make him drop all of what he's doing and rush to their aid. It's not terribly smart all the time, but he takes pride in his work. He has to help people. And he likes helping people, there's never enough hands to go around and he always has something to do. Keeping busy is good to him. While he can read, he isn't terribly good at absorbing information through reading, often needing something spoken to him for him to retain what he learned.
However, everything takes a toll. Vallauris is a drinker. While he would never drink on duty, he spends a fair amount of time with ale when he is off work. Healing is stressful, the world is stressful. He isn't very good at coping, so he drinks to excess. Vallauris is not the type to start fights, but he isn't intimidating enough to finish them. He cries very easily, only adding to the idea that he might be a coward. He would certainly call himself a coward, without hesitation.
HISTORY
FAMILY: Estranged parents, no siblings
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/a
BIRTHPLACE: A small cothold near Fort Hold
HISTORY:
Born a rather normal child on a normal spring day, Vallauris was an uneventful kid. He enjoyed playing with the others in the cothold, and had a knack for finding animals who would just "somehow" follow him home. His parents indulged in his curiosity and knowledge of the world for quite a while, encouraging him to learn all he could. While neither parent was particularly learned, they taught him what they could.
It was in his fourteenth summer that things changed and tragedy struck. While playing with some of his other children in the hold, the ground beneath Vallauris gave way, causing him to fall down a ravine and hit his head. He had bled significantly on the leaves and stone by the time rescue had gotten to him. When he regained consciousness, which was nothing short of a miracle, he had lost most of his memory. He remembered his name, but not the faces of people he had known his entire life. The hold, unequipped for such a thing, and his parents both distraught and upset, decided it was for the best to send him to Healer Hall in the hopes he could recover.
While he recovered from physical injuries, Vallauris' memory did not. Everything before waking up in the cothold was gone.
With nothing left, nothing tying him back to the cothold, Vallauris devoted himself to learning how to be a healer. He was incredibly talented at it, provided he had the proper tools. He spent multiple turns learning as much as he could.
Even so, he walked the tables at age 28, and was immediately assigned to High Reaches Weyr. Oblivious to most of the politics surrounding the Weyr, Vallauris packed his bag and headed out on the next dragon flight.
