FULL APPEARANCE:
Thbroma is approximately all arms and legs. Despite his short height, he's so willowy he comes off as taller than he is - at least until someone of substance stands beside him, and then he's just scrawny. Despite that, he doesn't seem overly fragile. He often has large, exaggerated movements.
Given the environment of Semaca he's often found with only pants on, and after much argument he's finally conceded that boots are a necessity with the large number of things attempting to bite his toes. He carries a knife for carving, a fishing pole, and has dozens of fishing hooks in the brim of his floppy hat that is so horridly oversized it can't possibly be his originally. He spends a lot of time adjusting it.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Thbroma loves absolutely anything to do with fishing and, by proxy, the water. While he never got a chance to apprentice at the Fishercrafthall, he knows more than enough about the process of at least catching and gutting fish to be effective. If given the choice, he would fish from sun-up to sun-down. His singular focus on fishing has lead him to be rather romantically and sexually oblivious; he'd probably only understand someone's interest if they literally hit him with a fish.
He has enough worldly knowledge to survive on his own, but he's very quiet-spoken, and his singular focus tends to lead many to assume he's unintelligent or simple. He usually doesn't feel the need to correct them, but it tends to lead him to avoid human contact, because.. well, "people sharding suck."
That said, he's actually quite hardworking, if only for the sole reason that the faster he gets his other chores done the sooner he can go fishing.

HISTORY
FAMILY: "Uncle Bron" and "Aunt Thema"
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: My Life, My Love, and My Lady is the Sea (None)
BIRTHPLACE: Sea near Tillek
HISTORY:
Thbroma's history is a simple one. He grew up with a pair of Fishcrafters who roamed near Tillek and the Great Sea Hold. Uncle and Auntie weren't actually his aunt and uncle, but they had found him as a toddler roaming the beaches. Attempts to locate his actual parents were in vain, and Uncle and Auntie had no luck having children of their own, so they decided to take care of Thbroma on their own.
They went fairly far out to sea, fished their hold full, and then headed back to the nearest port to sell their loads; sometimes carrying wares from other ports with them to pad out their sales in case the fishing was bad. It wasn't the most lucrative work, but it made enough to take care of all three of them. While in port, Uncle and Auntie made sure that he kept up his studies with the Harpers, so he wasn't completely unsocialized.
So things went on, rather uneventfully, for years. Sometimes they would go as far north as High Reaches Hold, sometimes as far east as Ista.
But Auntie and Uncle were starting to get up in years, enough that the seabound lifestyle was beginning to become dangerous, and were interested in finding something more stable for both them and their young ward. When in port they heard of the disaster at Semaca from a dragonrider bound there and offered their assistance with hopes to carve out their own place in the world, so to say. It took some time to sell the boat and make their belongings transportable, but eventually they were Semaca-bound on dragonback. Thbroma was Searched upon his arrival (if you could call it that).
