Description of Persona:

A�didan is a very tall (6�3), very goofy looking guy. With an oval face, pretty green eyes and a small stub of a beard, he is good looking to some� Both male and female. He shuffles, rather then walks. His tallness almost something that he would wish to hide considering that both of his parents and all of his siblings were short. Often a pleasant smile graces his features and his voice almost always deep and booming� Unless he happens to be drunk. Then his voice becomes lighter and more airy. His hair� Well his hair is long, but he always keeps it in braids. More to keep it out of his face then anything else� Although it is dark, almost black. That�s another thing that differs him from his family� His family has blond hair. Often his eyes appear bloodshot� The result of too much drinking or too much fellis or both. Always an experimenter, A�didan enjoys mixing �herbs� to see what result they will have when taken. He has a witty sense of humor� Although it can be dark at times when he is in a reflective mood.

Brief History of Persona:

A�didan grew up in a small yet comfortable cot hold with his family. For some reason he grew up to be a sore thumb� Taller then his family by far and much different looking. A�didan (Called Aididan then) would take no teasing from his siblings and would beat the stuff out of anyone who made any remark on his tallness. As a young boy, Aididan always had a fascination with herbs and what they would do to people He used to go out on long walks, gathering things for later use. Once prepared, he often tried his concoctions on his siblings� Lucky, nothing he tried turned out to be fatal� Although one of his younger brother�s had a blue tongue for about a month after Aididan slipped something in his cereal.

When he was old enough he asked to go to Healer hall to pursue his hobby� His parents however, didn�t let him go, never giving him an explanation. After awhile Aididan figured that they were afraid he would get expelled or something. Although he had a good hand with a guitar and considered becoming a harper� It was organic things, not music that drew him. Finally his parents let him take up the wine craft� Mostly to shut him up. A�didan accepted and became an apprentice Vintner.

That�s where he found the other love of his life, wine. Like most apprentices his body quickly got used to drinking� A lot. In fact he was mostly drunk when he was searched for Silver Ridge Weyrhold� That�s why he accepted. Had be been sober, Aididan would have not gone� He had no real desire to face man eating organisms that fell from the sky.

But he was stuck once he got there. Stuck without a ride back to the craft hall� At least, not till after the hatching. Well the hatching came and Aididan was shocked to find himself looking into the eyes of a beautiful little dragon named Tyth. He didn�t expect to impress�. After all, none of his family had before� But oh well. Now he had Tyth and she had him. Impressing a green didn�t come as a huge shock to A�didan. He had always liked guys and it wasn�t a big deal that his lifemate was a girl. Anyway, they quickly went though the ranks� Blah, blah, blah. A�didan had a couple of boyfriends here and there� Nothing too serious though. Man, was he surprised when the FINE Weyrleader asked for him to be Wingthird. He adapted quickly, but life was soon to turn on him again. He recently became aware that his parents were not really his parents and that he was fostered. This came as a huge shock to him (Even though the signs were all there. He just refused to read) and broke off all contact with his former family. Right now, A�didan is still trying to adjust, and currently spends most of his time visiting his friends, T�bias and Wesslie.
