Name: Fal'n (Falin)
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Brown Weyrling
Appearance: Topping out at six feet even, Falin is a rather tall lad. He mainly gets this from his mom’s side, rather than his dad, which is a little unusual in itself. His father’s side of the family contains no member over 5’6, while on his mother’s side, there is no one under 5’7. Falin’s mother actually tops his father by six inches. Despite the fact Falin is tall, he doesn’t appear as if he has enough muscle on his frame, giving him a sort of unfinished look. So he’s rather lanky with the ‘awkward growth spurt’ look about him, which is at total odds with his grace.
Loosely curled, dirty blond hair graces the top of Falin’s scalp. It always falls in complete disarray, so much so that Falin almost never drags a brush or comb through it; it looks the same, regardless. Besides, brushes only break off the ends of his hair, leaving it rather frizzy. His hair is just long enough when dry to cover his eyes, so he is forever flicking his bangs to the side and out of the way. Despite this, he never gets it cut any shorter, only resigning himself to having it trimmed, and that only when necessary. Because of this, his hair remains rather shaggy most of the time.
Falin’s eyes are almost almond in shape and sparsely lined in light brown, almost blond, eyelashes. From far away, it doesn’t even look like he has eyelashes. In color, the irises of Falin’s eyes are a deep, liquid brown. He thinks they are rather plain and boring, but his mother fondly calls them dreamer’s eyes. Arching over Falin’s eyes is a pair of thin, brown eyebrows. They’ve never been very bushy, and when he was younger, he was often teased by other boys who would declare that Falin plucked his eyebrows like a girl. However, since this has never been conformed or denied, many still contemplate on whether he does or not.
A rather long nose sits in the center of Falin’s face, however, it is far from straight. The bridge is crooked from where he broke it in a fight in his younger days. It was never set correctly, so it didn’t heal properly. Not that Falin cares. He thinks it gives him a rakish kind of look. Just under Falin’s crooked nose is a pair of well-formed lips, which he usually has curled up into a smile that shows his mostly even teeth. He does have one scraggily tooth, though it isn’t too noticeable.
Personality: First and foremost, Falin is an extremely laid-back kinda guy. He takes life as it comes, and figures he’ll deal with problems when they get here. Very often he can be found sitting in a sunbeam, dozing away his free hours. However, despite the apparent laziness, he can be alert and ready to pounce in a minute’s notice. He may seem to be out of it at first glance, but he notices everything around him, so don’t try to sneak up on him. He doesn’t startle easily.
When he’s happy, Falin can be an extremely cuddly person. He loves hugs, and they are the most common way he shows his affection, though people who are on the receiving end of a flying tackle don’t tend to think of his hugs too charitably. Besides being on the receiving end of a hug, another way you can tell if Falin is happy is if he’s humming. You can never get the guy to sing, but he’ll hum the day away, and often he’ll do it with a goofy smile to match.
Falin can be extremely vicious when he’s angry. When he’s pushed too far, or very stressed, he will lash out, often in a physical way. But he will give out warnings in his body language. Scowls or glares are the first sign of annoyance. These are followed by hisses, grumbles, and oaths. If the annoyance still has not disappeared, he will resort to walking away to avoid confrontation so he can cool down. However, if the problem persists, you’d better be prepared for a fist in the face. Even though he can get very angry, it doesn’t take him long to calm down. He’ll often apologize for growing angry, which is normally in the form of, predictably, a hug.
Despite being a people person, Falin has his moments where he will go places to be by himself. More often than not, this happens when he is upset or worried about something. During these times, he doesn’t welcome company unless you are extremely close to him. If someone happens upon him when he is in this mood, and he doesn’t like them, he will give them very obvious hints to leave him be. If they ignore them, his sadness will turn into anger fairly easily.
More active at night, Falin is always finding odd times and places to sleep during the day. He’s even managed to sleep standing up once or twice, providing plenty of amusement for others, especially if they can get him to fall down. But even if he does fall, he usually catches himself. He’s always been pretty light on his feet; never stepping wrong or bumping into anything, even at night.
Oh, whenever dealing with Falin, always keep one thing in mind: He will bite anything shoved into his face, whether it be a finger or a nose.
History: Born in the Harper Hall, Falin has strong ties with Fort Hold and Fort Weyr. Growing up, he led a rather uneventful life. He learned under a harper, studied art and music under his father, who was a journeyman harper himself, and was just a normal boy. So it came as a great surprise when his father announced that they were transferring...all the way to the Telgar Weyr. Falin never knew what had prompted the move, but he couldn't say he didn't like it. The weyr was like a dream to him. Soon, he was searched and made into a candidate. Now he simply waits for the hatching to begin.
