Model: Jake Waters
ID: 1095084
NAME: T'rel
RANK: Brown rider
AGE: 18
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
DRAGON: Brown Iskeloth
APPEARANCE: T'rel stands at roughly 5'8” and is still looking to grow. His hair is a sandy red-blonde, and shaggy, with the under layers of darker red-brown from lack of more constant sunlight. T'rel owns hazel brown eyes and lightly tanned skin. He has a smattering of freckles over the course of his body, most predominately covering his face and shoulders and his build is lean and scrawny, with long limbs and bony fingers. He can normally be found in plain, wherhide pants, dark leather boots, and an unassuming tunic.
PERSONALITY: T'rel loves the ladies. From a distance. A far, far away distance. When in conversation with one, he fumbles with his words and often feels the fool. He's not one to look at first appearances, and instead tends to focus on the personality and outlook of others. He can be unsure of himself, and when in unknown territory likens himself to the fish out of its proverbial waters. T'rel has a deep fondness for dragonkind – his father's blue Rorsha was often-times one of his closest companions growing up. Lately, he has taken to reading anything and everything he can get his hands on in an attempt to bring himself closer to the well-roundedness that others seem to possess. Though he's thought hard about trying to break himself from his disassociation to women, the struggle is still ongoing.
Since Impressing Iskeloth, T'rel will become testy at times and has been known to disregard his usual nervousness when Iskeloth's commentary is too much to bear.
T'rel is a lifelong procrastinator, and usually has to be goaded by his dragon before he will commit to a heavy task. However, once he has decided to do something, the young man will not stop working toward his goal - something that before Impression, he couldn't have fathomed being able to admit to.
It seems that for all the brown's abrasiveness, he is a force of aid in T'rel's life.
FAMILY: Father - Fisherman Gatrel, Mother – midwife Sarata
Siblings - Journeywoman healer Satrelli
HISTORY: T'rel grew up a brat of Southern Hold. His parents, both born and raised in a fishing smallhold, saw little reason to leave the area after their marriage, and less once T'rel's older sister was born. After T'rel's birth, his mother confined herself to the hold, caring for mothers and infants instead of sailors and fishing lads. As a lad, T'rel aided his mother in homebound activities, including the preparation of meals. After he grew old enough, he ventured on the waters with his father and eventually became a stable hand on the man's small crew. Dissatisfied with fishing life, T'rel asked to go with a crew on their way to Mavros Weyr. After a lengthy discussion with his father, he was allowed. Not long after arriving to the Holdside of Mavros, T'rel was Searched. Some madness and mayhem later, and young fisher lad Terral Impressed brown Iskeloth, binding T'rel to Mavros.
Once Impressed, T'rel began working on his issues with the opposite sex, by using Perrane as his sole test subject. The lad had grown fond of the queen rider, and despite his awkward approaches, had hoped to kindle a friendship with her - making her the first girl he could speak a full sentence to without stuttering.
During Perrane's coma, T'rel often attempted to see the girl, to either sit at her side, or to bring bedside gifts - or at the very least, to aid the healers attending her.
He was denied every time, for fear of her condition worsening.
After her death, T'rel withdrew into himself once more, and keeps only to his wing when necessary - otherwise, the young man is in his weyr, alone with Iskeloth.
