PERSONA DESCRIPTION
Height/Weight: 5'8", 150 lbs
Physical Description:
Aethan is an average height and weight, but is stronger than he looks. He's good with his hands and legs - those who wrestle or fight him are often surprised at his strength and skill. More often than not, they find themselves flat on their back before they know it. His muscles aren't so obvious that people consider him buff, but they're there. He's more the hard and wiry type than extremely muscular.
Aethan is good-looking, by conventional standards. His light brown hair curls at the ends and falls just above his ears. It's hard to control, and in damp weather it frizzes and curls even more. His blue eyes show a good amount of intelligence and amusement. They turn up at the edges, and are often creased with laughter. His face freckles in the summer, and his nose is just slightly off-center. The bone structure of his face gives him a slightly angular look. He looks vaguely mischievous.
Style of dress:
Aethan wears casual clothing, but it's the sort that makes him look better. His pants and shirts always fit well, and he always looks well put together. He cares what others think enough to care about his appearance - but he'll never admit it!
Habits/Hobbies:
Aethan likes hanging out with others of his own age. He doesn't really have any productive hobbies. He likes to wrestle.
Pets: None
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Personality:
Who Aethan truly is is a bit of an enigma to those around him. Even those who know him well, like his family and friends, couldn't ever really tell you what he's like. They'll stammer for a moment thinking, and then simply reply, "He's Aethan." Most people don't exactly find this a valid explanation, but they soon learn what the others mean when they get to know Aethan themselves - then they learn very quickly that he's not exactly an easy person to sum up in a few words.
Aethan is quiet and reflective. He possesses a keen intellect and can talk anyone into anything. Half the time they won't even notice they're being cajoled until they find themselves agreeing with whatever it was in the first place. He's a chivalrous soul - while he's beaten up more than a few boys in his day, you'll never catch him hitting a girl. It's just not done, in his mind. When one of his friends hits a girl, he won't say anything, but the look he gives the other boy would be enough to freeze water in the summer. It usually convinces the other boy to apologize, without Aethan having to say anything at all.
At the same time, he has a certain bravado, the rough-and-ready attitude of most weyrboys. He seems to feel that he needs to prove himself to everyone around him. He hides all of his flaws inside, so that on the outside, he seems to be a perfect example of a human. He's easily a leader, but will be content to follow if he thinks that's best.
Background/history:
Aethan is one of the middle children of Maera, the weyr midwife. He has many siblings, and tends to become lost among them. He likes some of his younger brothers, and he's closest to Roslin, his older sister and the closest to his age. He sometimes berates her for her laziness, but has decided he can't really say anything, since he doesn't want to apprentice, either. It's not that he's lazy, it's just that he hasn't found anything that entices him enough for him to dedicate his life to yet.
From the moment Aethan was born, it was obvious that he would be a unique child. He always had such a serious expression. As a baby he rarely cried, a blessing to his mother. When he began to grow, however, his curiousity made her want to scream. Most children go through a "why" period, but Aethan's began sooner and never really seemed to end. He would follow his mother around aimlessly and ask her about everything. She would explain in great detail, hoping that it would convince him to give up. That didn't work. He would simply listen to her with a rapt expression, nod his head to whatever she said, and move on. A few minutes later, he would ask a different question, and the process would be repeated. Most adults in the weyr learned to avoid him if they didn't want to spend hours answering his various questions.
Aethan had an average childhood in the weyr - running around, playing with the other children, teasing the girls. On the whole, he was happy and carefree. He spent a lot of time exploring things. Always adventurous and curious, he was the boy that tried everything first before the others would. Sometimes that would up with him getting in trouble or doing something dangeous. He always managed to talk his way free, though. The added benefit of having a busy mother and many siblings was that he was free to do what he wanted much of the time. Sometimes he got himself in trouble, but mostly he knew where to toe the line. Even the trouble he got himself into was never very serious. He's never broken a bone or even gotten a serious injury in all of the times he's come close. He's never even been beset with any childhood illnesses like so many others are.
When he got to around the age of twelve, Aethan began to notice that a lot of his former friends were moving on to other things. Some were apprenticing, others were beginning to be Searched. Aethan began to see that things were changing, and he resented it. Stubborn, he refused to apprentice when his mother asked him if he wanted to. Instead, he began to do odd jobs in the lower caverns for marks or anything else people would give him. It didn't really matter the job. Sometimes he worked for crafters, sometimes dragonriders. It didn't really matter. His mother saw that he was being productive, so she didn't say anything, figuring he'd decide what he wanted to do when the time came. Recently, he was noticed by a Searchdragon and Searched for Ryuenth's clutch.
