Craft/Rank: Apprentice drummer - Harper Hall

History: Heill has grown up on the coast. Eron Hold was his home and he enjoyed playing on the beach when a clear day came. He grew up as an only child, though was never want for friends as he lived in a large hold with several other children. His father worked as a fisherman, part of several boats that went out when the threat of thread seemed to be far away. His mother was more of a hard woman, not really fearful of much though of course Thread was always a fear for everyone. She was a tanner and worked hard at her job. Looking at his parents, though his father was quite tall and much more burly from working with drawing in the nets and casting them out again, his mother had the fiercer appearance and listening to them. It was easy to tell who wore the pants in the family so to speak.

Depsite this, Heill, named after his grandfather, has grown up in a happy childhood. When the events affecting the world began,(Metaplot) Heill had learned of none of it. His mother refused to let his father tell him of any of it. He only knew of the deaths of some of the most important people in their world and he mourned with others. To him it was just another sort of day. He didn't have much more of a reaction until he was sent to Harper Hall. His small ability at drumming gave him enough of a ticket to get to the prestigious place and there he began to hear more about the world. He was 12 then and learned much more from holder's son's and gossip from the neighboring hold. It was much more of an eye opening.

Once the revolutionists had finally taken over Malvern and Benden, while Trine remained strong, Heill had been at the Hall about half a year and it was a large shock hearing of the revolution. He had never been to a Weyr and only knew of the casualties and the revolution from vicious rumors around the Hall.

Though he had some skill with drumming, he wasn't exactly the best student as he took to playing with the drums more than learning and has received quite a large amount of discipline and punishment in half the year he inhabited the Hall.

It was on one such punishment that he was found by a Search rider from Trine. He had been sent home on a suspension from the Harper Hall. Really was it so bad that he dropped a couple of fiddles? Even if it was down a flight of stairs, apparently that was the last straw and he was sent home for a few months. A Trine dragon had taken him home and then once those months had passed, a dragon had returned to take him back. Heill had been offered by his ride to instead go back to Trine with him.

Heill was struck almost dumb and some swear he fainted, though he denies all rumors of that. (despite the fact it happened) but once he was in a better state of mind, he agreed. Nothing at Harper Hall was truly holding him there and soon he was pulled off to Trine. He arrived alittle after the Kappa Clutch had hatched, so he wasn't in time for his chance but he's waiting there for the next one.

Description: Heill is his mother's son in looks. His mother, though a hard and tough woman, was still quite pretty with dark red hair and soft brown eyes. He shares both, his hair is a shard darker with brown mixed in, much like the color of henna and his eyes are a lighter brown. His hair is cut short with only a few long pieces in the front. He stands about 5'2 with plenty of chance to grow yet. His skin is tan from growing up in Eron Hold while it has paled some in the cooler climate of Harper Hall, it will most likely tan again once he stays in Trine a while. He doesn't have a large build yet. He would have gotten one if he had stayed abit longer to truly work on the drums, but he still has room to grow and may get to that stage yet. His voice isn't exactly suited to singing, though it still holds the tenor that most men lose and already he has been feeling it crack with speech, so it's not far behind that his voice will deepen to it's adult sound.

Personality: Though his mother tolerated no goofiness, his father encouraged it. So Heill has become quite the little charmer. He likes to get his own way and often ends up in trouble. He has been known to flirt with the line between "too much" and "Shells you're gonna get your hide tanned!" He likes to joke and hardly seems like he knows how dire a situation is.

Aside from his joking nature, he's confident in almost everything he does. He believes that things will usually work out or in a better way to describe it, he believes that people get what is coming to them. Much like the Karma philosophy from Eons ago.

He is surprisingly pessimistic though and tends to see the worst things first and then chooses to ignore them. If he acknowledges it, then he knows he'll most likely chicken out. He tries his best to hide this nature, despite putting up a convincing front of being confident and strong. He tries to look past the bad as best he can.

Despite how easily he makes stupid decisions, he does take his time with the important ones. He's trying to learn to be a man without having to give up the fun parts of his life now.

He gets quite lonely if he's left alone for a long time. He needs friends to really keep him in check, even if they're as crazy as he is and he chooses to attach himself to anyone who isn't willing to give him a good punch to get him away. Even if they do that, he's been known to come back and still try to be friends. He's alittle crazy but he tries to take responsibility when he absolutely has to.

He's never really had much to fear, other than his mother. Though of course Thread was the biggest threat. As a pessimist at heart, he does see a lot of bad in the world. Fearing and sweating the small stuff is what he tries NOT to do. At the age he is, Heill is more likely to rely on adults and their decisions and hoping he can follow their lead.

His only real aspirations in this world so far are to find something he likes. He has always hated doing things that he finds annoying and is known to put them off until the last possible moment. Such as chores, cleaning, running errands. Anything that takes too much time. He just wants to have some more fun before becoming an adult.

Other: While living on the coast, he was able to observe Dolphineers and though he knows somewhat of that bond, he knows very little about a dragon's bond with it's human. AS he was so young when the trouble really reached it's head. he doesn't really understand what all the problems are between the Wherhandlers and the Dragonriders.

I changed it so his hair is darker, and more mud-like in color. I have seen henna and I've had henna tattoos before. So I think it's pretty close?

I fixed the personality, and I hope it makes alittle more sense now

The history part I'm more concerned about how to fix it. Is it possible that he could have gone home to visit? And that would put him within Trine's search area? Or, could he have been sent back from the Harper Hall as a punishment?

Okay. But I think I'll keep it to where it is now. His hair I mean. It's already red, and slightly dark, but he might take to dying it once. Even on a dare to see how much brighter it gets. I kind of wish I had a color swatch to really show you what color I mean lol

I think the idea that maybe he went home for suspension works biggrin I'll work that in.
