Name: T'lon
Age: 19
Sex/Preference: Male/heterosexual
Rank/Title/Position: Brown Weyrling/Sr. Journeyman
Current Location: Kalarak Weyr

Physical Description: Like most of the men in his family, Talon is tall, easily 6'5" and at least several inches taller than many of his relatives. He has a lean, wiry strength and doesn't show strength by bodybuilder muscle so much as he does by simply exuding that quality. Long-limbed, his broad shoulders taper down into narrow hips and then to his long, muscular legs. His build and height, in fact, are much like his cousin Cael's, but there the similarity ends.His dark, brown-black hair is slightly wavy and almost shoulder-length, framing a strong, square jaw and darkly tanned face. Amid the harsh angles and planes that form his facial features, his pale grey eyes are both surprising and disconcerting to those who don't know Talon and sometimes even to those who do. Talon tends to wear tunics and breeches in dark, earthy colors as well as boots. The only jewelry he wears is the earrings in his right ear,which is pierced in several different places.

Emotional Description: Talon is, plain and simple, intimidating both physical and emotionally. Not an extremely talkative person, he nonetheless is not silent but uses pauses and uncomfortable silences to intimidate people. His humor tends toward the darker, more satirical and he can be a bit cynical. Completely ruthless in his pursuits, he is not a mean person, just not one of the really nice, polite guys. He is confident, sometimes overly so, or that's what his cousins tell him anyway, but he has a strength for recognizing and understanding other people's strengths and weaknesses and where they fit into any plans. His group of friends, brothers and cousins often turn to him for plans because they know he will put people where they will excel. He also tends to feel responsible for anyone he considers a friend or family and will not accept weakness in himself where he can understand it in other people. He pushes himself to the very limit of his endurance before backing off and has more of a quiet, menacing temper than a loud, yelling one. If someone insults or slights him, he tends to issue a quiet challenge, not losing his temper very often but scaring the crap out of most people who try to get to him.

Brief History: Talon was born to healers at Kalarak Weyr, the first of five, with one brother and three sisters. Talon had a fairly normal weyrbrat life, though because his parents were crafters rather than dragonriders, he saw them constantly and grew up under their hand instead of under a foster parent. In the pecking order, even when he was young, Talon was near the top thanks to his strong genetics and even stronger personality. He constantly watched out for his siblings, as he saw it his duty as eldest, and did not take slights easily. As he grew older, he learned to keep his temper and simply scare people with quiet, menacing challenges that most backed off from. When he was 9, his parents decided to go help his Aunt Marye, who had lost her husband and was raised her seven children on her own. Talon was a little upset about being uprooting from his normal life, but quickly grew to love being in the caravan, traveling constantly. He and his cousin Cael hung around quite a bit and when his aunt remarried three turns later, he, Cael and Cael's new step-brother, Aedan, all were the same age and formed their little group of seven. They included some of their younger cousins and brothers but were the main leaders of the group. Cael being the quiet, supportive one, Aedan the charmer and Talon the planner of all their mischief. When they were finally forced to choose crafts, they split up, with Cael and Aedan going to become smiths and Talon becoming a dragonhealer at Victory Weyr. Talon advanced fairly quickly through the ranks and made jr.journeyman by 18. He celebrated with Cael and Aedan when they came to the Weyr after being Searched, but were quickly seperated again when Talon was assigned to Kalarak Weyr. Then, surprising the heck out of Talon, he was Searched not too many days after being assigned as a dragonhealer there.

Abilities/Strengths/Weaknesses: Talon has the ability to sense where to place people to keep them at their strongest and judging their said strengths as well as weaknesses. He's generally a good judge of character and a relatively calm, if intimidating presence. However, he does scare some of the more shy, sometimes weak people that he meets and can gain some animosity from them for that.
