Other Facial Features: Clean shaven. Delicate, yet masculine features, very much in proportion with each other. He is handsome, but not terribly striking - he's handsome in a very average way. He's very, very tanned from herding livestock on the plains of Igen with his father.

Habits: Chews on his nails when he gets nervous or frustrated.

Hobbies: Doesn't really have any hobbies because he never gives himself any freetime. Nothing is ever good enough for K'len. If something has been checked once, it can be checked again...

Personality: Neurotic. A total perfectionist. Very high-strung and intense. He rarely smiles, and is very critical of the work of others. If you can get past this, though - and it would take a special person to do this - it is obvious that K'len is like this because of his father, who demanded perfection of his children and punished and/or humiliated them if they did not deliver. At heart, he's a sweet, tender young man with a lot of love to give.

Background: K'len is the third child of four, born to a beastcrafter and his wife at Igen Hold. He spent most of his life - from a very early age - outside in the sun, and he tends to get a little downheartd whenever it gets cold and rainy - he likes the freedom offered by the blue sky. His eldest sister married before he became a man, and his brother was crippled in a riding accident. K'len was set to take over his father's craft when his youngest sister was Searched. The whole family went to the weyr to see the hatching - quite a bit of excitement for a small family from Igen. Not very long into the hatching, an egg burst open, and a little green dragon began to wobble towards his sister, and Impression was made. Kivlen couldn't help it - tears began to stream down his face. His sister - a dragonrider! The rest of the hatching was spent in a daze as he watched his sister. However, when the last egg hatched, and a very handsome bronze dragonet came out, all the boys still on the stands rushed towards it, and it began to cry. Kivlen had heard of such things - they said if the dragonets did not find the riders they wanted, they would die!! He watched the little dragonet as it whimpered, miserably, past the dissapointed boys, and towards the stands, attempting to climb up, towards the top where Kivlen and his family were sitting. He looked down, and made eye contact with the little dragonet, and without knowing what he was doing, he rushed down the steps towards the scared, frightened bronze dragon and helped it gently into the stands, scratching its eyeridges, and telling it everything was going to be alright, and of course we'll get you whatever you need to eat...K'len exceeded all expectations in his training, and was made a wingleader soon after the disaster with the Weyrwoman and Weyrleader. He is ambitious, but worried about what a high responsibility job like weyrleader would do to his nerves...
