NAME: Bowen
RANK: Journeyman Harper
AGE: 22
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
DRAGON: N/A
WHER: N/A
PETS: Drune, a brown firelizard.
APPEARANCE: faceclaim: David Bowie. Caucasian. Bowen has a shock of golden hair which is constantly getting in his eyes. He has a charming smile, is slight of build, height 5’10”. Eyes: blue, his left pupil has always been dilated larger than the other (anisocoria) since birth. This gives his gaze a piercing, unsettling quality. He has a sharp chin, a pointed nose, high cheekbones. His long, thin fingers have incredible dexterity from years of practice with the hand-crafted ashwood gitar he keeps on his person at all times.
PERSONALITY FAULTS: He is a incorrigible flirt, prideful, and vain about his appearance. He has been hurt deeply by love in his past, so now treats romance like a game. He does not let other people ‘in’. He wears his charm and his wit as shields to protect his inner insecurities. He is quick to judge others by their appearance. He thinks most people are significantly less intelligent than himself. He thinks of the world as his oyster, and has plans to travel far and wide, but his boastings reveal his neediness to be validated and praised by others. When he is not instantly successful at something he either gives up, mocks the task as not being worthy of his time, or sulks. Because of his inability to connect with people meaningfully, he has never put down roots, but constantly moves around. He craves the opportunity to settle down, but is restless at the same time. He distastes manual labor, preferring to make a living on song and dance and music. He often goes hungry when no one wants to pay for his talents. He is used to long trips in solitude, with only his music and his brown firelizard, Drune, as his companions. He doesn’t like dragons since he was a child - they make him nervous because they are bigger than he is and could squash him like a bug.
PERSONALITY STRENGTHS: An artistic genius. Beautiful tenor voice. Writes beautiful poetry and song lyrics. Can compose ditties on the spot. Highly skilled with the hand-crafted ashwood gitar he carved himself. Skilled with his hands - caves little wooden statues as a hobby. Keeps a sharp dagger hidden on his person at all times and knows how to use it; it’s not just for carving wood. He is very intelligent but not a genius because he doesn’t apply himself to learning anything that doesn’t come easily to him. Music, art, and charming women come easily to him. He is an influential speaker and manipulator. He is usually able to talk himself out of any trouble he gets himself into, and maneuvers others to get what he wants with his words.
FAMILY: His parents live in a small hold in the woods outside of Fort Hold, he has not seen them since he was a child. His father was a wood-cutter, his mother a weaver who would sing songs to him. He does not remember them very well.
HISTORY: Grew up in a small hold in the woods outside of Fort Hold. As a child loved to run and play in the woods, learned to carve wood. Was selected by a journeyman on assignment in his hold to be taught the skills of a Harper. Left his parents at a young age to attend the HarperHall and remained there until making the rank of Journeyman. At the hall he was given a firelizard egg (pet firelizard, Drune) as a singing competition prize. Soon after he was sent on assignment to Mavros hold as punishment/to get rid of him for singing songs mocking the old and fat masters at the Harper Hall. Because he doesn’t like dragons he booked passage on a ship leaving Fort Hold for Mavros Weyr and was seasick the entire time. He arrives at Mavros weir with only his gitar, a few sets of clothes, and his firelizard Drune to his name.
