About you:
Name: Mik
e-mail: hiredhitman85@yahoo.com
Age: 25
About the character:
Name: Mikan
Pronunciation: Mee-con
Age: 20 (4th month, 10th day)
Rank: Journeyman GlassSmith/Candidate
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heter
Family (name, age, rank, location, at least)
Mother: Kanretia-45-Assistant Candidate Master/Greenrider-Nova Weyr
Father: Miklar-41-Master GlassSmith-South Sands Hold
Siblings: Tialar-19-Journeyman GlassSmith/Candidate-Nova Weyr, Kanlar-18-Apprentice GlassSmith/Candidate-Nova Weyr, Laret-17-Apprentice GlassSmith-South Sands Hold
Weyrmate/Lover: None Yet
Children: None Yet
Other: Various relatives throughout Nova Weyr and South Sands Hold
Physical Description: Mikan is tall and lean and fairly muscled from a very active lifestyle. Sandy brown hair, lighter toward his face falls to his shoulder blades and is kept back with a glass hairpiece save for his ever-escaping bangs that reach his cheek bones. His eyes are of a darkened brown and do not stand out much against his darkened skin from turns under the sun and standing next to the fire. When he is not smiling, he's got a look of determination and concentration on his face. With clothing of bright colors, he can not be missed in a crowd. His tunics are usually sleeveless and close-fitting, his pants comfortably loose, and his boots of a thin, lighter-colored leather. A delicate, but bright spiraled glass earring hangs from his left earlobe and, depending on the day, depends on which of his numerous glass pendants he is wearing along with the guards he designed to protect his forearms from his work before it has cooled.
Personality: Cheery nearly all of the time, Mikan has a happy outlook on life. Rarely can anyone stay somber and upset when he is around. He is talkative to an extreme about nearly anything and especially about the ladies. And a rebel. Being the oldest of four, he was supposed to be heir to his father's work, but he had other ideas of adventure and fun. He's extremely competitive and likes to turn anything into a game if he is able to. Creative to an extreme, if you give him an idea, he will find a way to make it happen... He is often found over a fire, working on glass, riding his runner, or engaged in a competition of sorts. Why should one stop at the top of the mountain? He would rather continue along the range to discover new things.
History: Born the first child to a couple of GlassSmiths, Mikan was their pride and joy and took an interest in those shinies that his parents made at a young age. When he was old enough, his parents let him try his hand at their delicate craft and he did well. When it came time to chose his craft in life, it was obvious that all he wanted to do was to make delicate things of glass and he grew to be quite good at it, able to turn his hand to anything that he thought of.
He took a fancy in the ladies around 15 turns and managed his fair share of lady friends, but nothing ever came of those relationships for his younger brother usually won the ladies over in the end. But he never minded it.
At 17, he was given a young runnerbeast to care for and, along with his craft, he found the time to bond with Star, as he named her, often out and about on her to gain new ideas and the occasional competition with his brothers and theirs.
At 19 turns, Mikan got a wild hair in his head and wanted to travel to learn more, but his parents kept him at bay until Nova Weyr called for Candidates and so, at 20 turns, Mikan and two of his brothers set off toward Nova Weyr, their father and youngest brother thinking of following along at a later time.
Having finally arrived, Mikan and his brothers have shown up in Nova Weyr with the safety of a trade train to meet up with his mother, a dragonrider and recently appointed Assistant Candidate Master. Always wanting to try new things, Mikan set himself on an attempt at Candidacy since he had never had the chance before he, his brothers, and his father had left the Weyr. Even if he did not Impress, he had his craft to fall back on and many other places to explore.

Can you:
Read? Yes

Pets:
Name: Star
Species: Runnerbeast
Age: 6
Description: Star is a dark bay with a golden like glow to her sides and a blood reddish tint over her flanks and shoulders. The only marks on the tall mare are on her face, a near perfect eight pointed star between her eyes and a perfect diamond snip between her nostrils. She is long and muscled, obviously worked plenty often.
Star is a loyal mare and young at heart, but nothing about her is old at all, not even her age. She is still fairly young and sweet tempered and will go anywhere her master points her nose at any pace he wishes, even to race which she excels at with her size.
