Name: Iskosian
Age: 18
Gender: male
Sexual Orientation: bisexual
Craft: Fisherman
Rank: Apprentice
Origin: Telgar (more specifically, small hold outside Telgar)
Appearance: 5'11", 215lbs; Isko has a very stocky build with broad shoulders. He has tanned skin from working outside all the time; thick, dark chocolate brown hair that he allows to grow out. Right now it is shaggy and down to the base of his neck and in his eyes. His eyes are dark brown and are often watching others. He likes simple so neutral colors, the basic short sleeved shirt, loose pants into calf boots that help protect his legs.
Personality: Iskosian is an introvert. He is not a big fan of being the center of attention and would rather allow another apprentice center stage while he supports in the background. Because of this, he may often come off as snobbish or stuck up but it really takes him a while warm up enough to someone before he is willing to be open. Isko, as he allows his few friends and family, to call him, speaks carefully and with thought. He feels like words should not be wasted but crafted and laid out like plans.When he does speak, his voice is deep and sure of himself, his full confidence behind whatever idea he has or is supporting. Isko, however, is slow to change his opinion. Though he may consider more than one side to the story, he tends to lean towards his fellow crafters and holders from the same area as he is originates. As far as temper goes, Iskosian may seem like one who would never anger but that is not true. He just holds it better than most... Until something sets him off and he blows up over something simple & silly, regretting it afterwards. From there, Iskosian can seem shamed and try to forget whatever fight or argument he may have had with the other person. If he feels really bad, he might offer a small carving as a peace offering.
He is a hard worker. Iskosian will listen to every direction given them and follow them to the dot. However, he make take them a little too literally and not always think about the extra steps needed to get to the end or the final details to finish off a job. He does enjoy carving, though not necessarily small detailed carvings but larger creatures or objects. He also likes to cook. Of course, most of his food centers around fish and food from the river areas, Isko is pretty good with seasonings and making stews.
Positive: Confident, Planner, Well spoken, Hard worker
Negative: Slow to change mind, May miss details, Stubborn, tempermental
History: Iskosian was born 18 years ago to Kachjan and Ilassa at a small river holding just south of Telgar on the river banks. He is the oldest of 3 children and very dedicated to his family. Their holding consisted of his parents, his father's brother with his wife and 2 children, and a handful of others making the numbers flux anywhere from 15-20 people depending on the season.
As a young child, Iskosian seemed slow and hard to motivate but his mother soon realize that her son was just very observant, trying to understand the what and why of things, and how it worked. Life was hard but as far as life went, it was fair. They fished the rivers, traded with others, sent goods to the markets, did a small bit of gardening, and essentially went day to day. Of course, they were all aware of the trouble with the sickness and dragons but to his parents' knowledge, no one in there family ever attracted the attention of dragons. The dragons were just there and they were just there, neither group ever really crossing paths with the other. Kachjan sent Iskosian away when he was 16 in order to learn the finer details of the Fisherman craft. He had only just recently come back with his apprentice knot, not too keen on staying away from his family for so long, when a blue rider happened to land near the holding. The rider, a blue rider, had stopped to gather supplies for himself and give his sick dragon a chance to rest. The dragon, in the early stages of the sickness, looked long and hard before announcing that Iskosian was good candidate material.
After much discussion, Kachjan and Ilassa pushed Isko into going to stand for Fort's clutch, reminding their son that despite the limited interaction, Standing was indeed an honor. And with a slight guilt trip, warning their son about the dangers of a baby dragon not finding his/her partner, Iskosian agreed to go to Fort. His parents gave him his present early, a fire lizard egg that is very close to hatching. So now, he waits, going to lessons and learning what he can in order to be helpful when he goes back home.
