RANK: Journeyman Farmer, Bronzeweyrling
AGE: 18 turns
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual male.
DRAGON: Bronze Kinth
PETS:
Mishka: Ledar sees his canine as more of a companion. He has a single canine by the name of Mishka, of four years. She stands at 25 inches tall and weighs an impressive 88 pounds. Her coat is predominately tan with a black collar, muzzle, and upper back. She looks similar to an offspring of a contemporary German Shepard and Jack Russell Terrier. She is good with people and fiercely loyal and protective of Ledar.
Chlamydem: Green Firelizard
Thespin :Bronze Firelizard
APPEARANCE: Ledar's skin is naturally fair, however his work in the fields has given him what can only be described as a farmer's tan. His arms ans face are darker than the rest of is body. He has a rather stocky frame. He stands at five-feet and ten inches, and weighing around two hundred and fifteen pounds. His broad shoulders and muscular frame make him well suited for the hard labour of a Farmer. Ledar has powerfully muscled legs and narrow hips. His hands and feet are large, in order to support his large frame. He has a layer of fat on his stomach that he is embarrassed of, although his chest hides it well.
He has a slightly oval face that is youthfully round and houses a warm, comforting smile. He has moderately rosy cheeks, that add to his appearance of warmth. His eyes are of a blue-green colour with a ring of gold around each pupil. He seems to have perpetual dark circles under his eyes, despite how long or well he sleeps. They have an illusion of changing colour based on distance from him and lighting. Ledar's eyes reflect his mood perfectly, lending to his tendency to avoid eye contact when upset. He boasts a head of medium length dirty blond hair. It tends to shape itself with his bangs sweeping to the right.
Due to his premature birth of two months, he has two notable and known birth defects. The first being that his ears are sensitive to loud noises and high pitches and frequencies. His reaction to these stimuli is to cringe and avoid or cease the source of the noise. The other being a complication in formation of his right knee. The groove that the kneecap sits on did not develop fully and as a result, his knee cap will move out and back into place and buckle. He has done exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles so he his mobile and can pull his share of the work, and then some.
PERSONALITY FAULTS: In a word, Ledar is awkward. He spent much of his life isolated or used by others, and so he grew shy and a poor sense of self-esteem. He is slow to relax around others and hold them at arms length emotionally. He remains closed off to others, even if he's known them for a long time. He has an annoying and detrimental habit of hiding his negative feelings from others, preferring that they see his smile. This leads to him bottling up his anger, sorrow, and pain. He has broken down a couple of times from this. He refuses to let others see him cry, be angry, or be in any state that is typically considered weak in male society, despite his knowledge that it takes more strength to admit when one is hurt.
Ledar has a martyrdom complex, sacrificing his happiness for the sake of others, especially those that are close to him. He will give up his happiness with almost no hesitation. Some times it is selfless sacrifice, but more often than not, he gets pleasure out of making another happy. Unfortunately, he will do things for others and back down from his happiness and dreams. He puts himself on the back burner quite frequently.
He is quite slow to warm up to others and takes the appearance of furniture at social gatherings. He stays quiet and watches the things going on around him. He has a habit of sticking close to one person he knows at such events.
He tends to be insecure in general, from the quality of his work to his appearance and back around to his naturally heightened intuition. This causes him to work harder and more often than not produce higher quality products than the normal person might, but he still feels as though it isn't enough. He constantly strives to impress not only others but feel validated. Ledar has an unending loneliness. No matter if he is alone or with others, he feels like there is a void in his heart. He assumes that this is due to the fact that he had a stillborn twin.
Ledar tends to shoulder as much of a burden as he can get away with. He will refuse to let anyone else shoulder any of it, be it physical or emotional. He takes the burdens of his friends and family. In doing this he runs himself ragged giving him perpetual dark circles under his eyes.
Perhaps one of Ledar's worst flaws is his inability to properly express how he is feeling. He can express joy without a problem, but saying he is angry, upset, or in love, is rather difficult for him. He stumbles over his words and dismisses his feelings verbally.
PERSONALITY STRENGTHS: If one had to sum Ledar up in one word, it would be loyal. Unfailingly loyal. He stands by his loved ones through thick and thin taking their side in a conflict, although he will find a way to take both sides if two are fighting.
Ledar acts as a proverbial "rock in the storm". He will sit and listen to anyone who is willing to come to him. He offers a smile, a kind word, and a shoulder to cry on. During times of crisis he is steady and grounded, offering a calm, level headed opinion. He can take control of a situation and think rationally. His default state however, is one of dreams. He loves to daydream and often finds his thoughts turning to others things. He thinks of persons and places, and what it would be like to be in worlds unknown. His thoughts can be quite fanciful.
One of Ledar's greatest pleasures is to help others. He likes to do things for other people, or run errands. Anything to make another's life easier. He'll work without complaint for long periods of time.
Most of all, Ledar is a kind, compassionate, sweet, loving person. Once a person gets past his shell and wall, he shows his large heart. He has a well developed sense of humour, loving to laugh and make others laugh. He is fun to be around and can be quite silly. He loves all close to him and will not hesitate to say so. He is warm and understanding, tending not to judge people with out letting them explain themselves. He can sympathize with persons and listens without bias.
Despite his powerful appearance, he is quite gentle. He has an immense love for the natural world, particularly forests. He works well with animals, and treats the land with reverence. He walks as to avoid damaging any plants and finds contentment sitting and listening to the world speak.
FAMILY: Levissa, being his mother, is 45 turns of age, although her face would lead one to assume she was a mere 35 turns. She is a harper by craft, a journeyman in fact. She did not pursue Master so that she could raise a family. She is kind and firm. She is best described as a motherly type.
Ledar has a father, not a dad. The man who fathered him is known as Darvon and he was a Master Farmer. Ledar will not talk about him under most circumstances. His father can be described as a selfish, lazy, alcoholic sponge as of late. He used to work hard and be a decent man. But when he turned to the harder liqueurs, he changed. He began handing the work off to his sons. Now he is a petulant child with a foul temper, and best avoided.
He is blessed and cursed with two siblings. An older brother, Davlis, who is 24 turns of age. He opted to be a farm hand, rather than pursue a craft. Following his father's footsteps, he handed work to Ledar, so that he might relax. He is a strange mix of kind and somewhat aggresive and angry. He was searched by the Weyrhold Mirran on his fifteenth turn and has been in infrequent contact.
His other sibling is a sister of 15 turns, by the name of Arvissa. She is a very pretty young girl, although she would not admit it. She is kind and sweet, but can have a fiery temper. She left to be a Beastcrafter, as she has a special fondness for animals, referring even to whers as "adorable".
HISTORY: Compared to others Ledar has had an easy life. On the other hand, it has been trial after trial for the young man. From the emotional distance of a father he never had, to the pain of isolation, and even the stress of holding a farm together virtually on his own, he has faced more in a mere eighteen turns than many do during their entire life.
He was birthed to a Journeyman Harper and a Master Farmer six turns after the birth of his eldest sibling. In the small Cothold of Woodcreek, he enjoyed a relatively peaceful youth. He was free of shadows of what was to come. He never really fit in with the other children. They didn't want too much to play with him and that suited him just fine. He spent his time either in the fields with Darvon or running free in the surrounding wood. His imagination ran wild and free. He developed a special connection with the land that none of the others did. He learned how to best work the soil, how the plants grew best with casual conversation. He learned much of literature and vocabulary from his mother. He became an avid reader, engrossed in the words that others had woven and the worlds the writers created. Ledar's mouth could move a mile a minute, as he let his curiosity flow forth with no censorship. After two turns his sister Arvissa was born. They were good buddies, he and she exploring the woods and running around like children do.
Growing up he had but one real friend, a young girl by the name of Rylexia. They hung out quite often during the times they were educated. Both of them were shunned for the most part, by the others. They came to be good friends.
His adolescence was tougher. At nine turns after Ledar's birth, Darvon turned to harder drinks than ale. He quickly spiraled into a drunken lout. Davlis and Ledar had to work the farm on their own most of the time. After half-a-turn, Levissa confronted Darvon on his drinking and bumming around. It was then that Darvon struck her. She shoved him and Davlis struck Darvon. Arvissa Ran to hide in the cothold and Ledar fled the homestead. He shouted for help and when it came, all of the family save Darvon, were in shock. They tried not to think about what had just happened.
Davlis grew bitter and Ledar began to retreat into his mind. Arvissa became skittish and touchy. There was many a time that Ledar's siblings would take the brunt of their frustrations out on him. Physically and verbally. Darvon remained a drunken lout. Tensions rose whenever he entered the room. The atmosphere was one of calm before the storm. It was all Ledar could do to keep a smile on his face, and trudge forward, supporting the farm. In the forest and the fields he found comfort. He could weep and tell his sorrows to the plants. They were his only friends.
After two turns of sorrow, a light shone for the broken family. Davlis had been searched by Mirran Weyr, due to the spark of kindness in him. It was the opinion of the dragon that found him, that the spark could be encouraged and he could succeed, but only in another type of environment. The call of flight make the adolecent eager and after a tearing good-bye, he left to become a dragon rider. Darvon was furious. He screamed and drank, furious at his eldest son abandoning him. It was then Ledar made up his mind to be a Farmer proper. After a turn, he made his fare-wells and left on the long voyage to Nerat Hold to learn his chosen craft.
-Ledar studied his craft in solitude. He was ignored by the other students for the most part, due to his inability to open up. After a time of isolation and despair, he contemplated suicide. Due to either strength or weakness of will he was unable to go much farther than thoughts, feeling as if he would upset people and let them down. One person saddened by his passing was a thought that kept him alive. He had one friend, it was she that first listened to him and, in a way, saved his life, whom he fell in love with. She found out and let him down gently, still wanting to be friends. After a bout of depression, lasting visibly for 5 days, a record for the adolescent loner. During a heavy rain he came across a female canine youth. He took her home and nursed her to health, and quickly fell for her. Naming her Mishka, they became fast friends. He eventually completed and attained Journeyman rank and decided to head home, feeling his skills could be of use to Woodcreek hold.
-And so at 18 turns of age, Ledar works keeping the family's farm, Mishka his only true companion. He returned to a quiet home, His mother and the man whom he calls father the only occupants, his brother having been searched and his sister leaving to be a beastcrafter. Darvon had bitterly accepted his duties of tending the farm, and was surprisingly proud of Ledar and grateful for his help.
