Appearance
Kunihiko is taller for his age, full grown at 6'3''. He is deceptively slim. When one looks at him, his frame would make him seem fairly weak, but one touch is enough to know this guy wouldn't be that easy to dismiss in a fight. His muscles are solid and there isn't a lot of give to his body. He's fairly pale with long dark brown almost black hair that reaches his shoulders in layers, the shortest of which ends below his cheekbone. He has dark brown eyes and a little cleft in his chin .
Personality
Kunihiko has been described by some as a slacker. He always seems to be at ease in whatever surrounding he's in. He may look like he isn't doing anything, but in actuality its probably because whatever task he was supposed to do has already been finished.
He's really a hard worker and he tends to analyze the quickest most efficient way to complete a task and do it. His attitude when he's working is a more 'leave me alone and let me work' type. Once he's done however, he's laid back. He teases with the best of them and tries to be a flirt but it's always in that 'friend zone' type of way.
He internalizes things a lot, preferring to make others at ease by acting like nothing bothers him. He's a fairly good actor, even his closest friends have issues telling when something is really bothering him. He is supportive and is always there for his friends when they are having a problem or they really need him.
Family
Adopted son of Illyehna - 65- weaver
and Markhal- 68- ex-Fisherman
Veran- brother - 32 - Fisherman

Rank Dragon Candi
History:Kuni was an orphan from High Reaches Hold. He'd been abandoned by his young single mother on the doorstep of an older couple in the middle of the harsh winter. It hadn't taken Markhal long to hear the baby crying on their stoop, and it had taken even less time for the cold infant to melt Illyehna's heart. The absent Veran, was in and out of his life 6-8 months every turn on long fishing expeditions, but when he was home, Kuni was always with him.
All in all, Kunihiko had a happy childhood. He didnt have a LOT of friends necessarily, but a close few made him never feel left out or missing anything. Illyehna taught him the basics of her weavecraft and during the more tame weather, veran or Markhal would take him fishing. He loved his older brother, and looked up to him more than anyone else. He could always talk to him about anything and everything.
He began to go on fishing trips with Veran as he got older, working toward becoming a fisherman like his father and older brother. After three years, at 15, he joined a Long expedition around the coast with Veran and several other men from the Hold. The journey took him to various ports around the continent and they eventually reached the islands. He was abducted by a member of the rebellion to stand for their clutches as he was helping Veran sell their latest catch, and has spent the last two years at Rindell Weyrhold, living the life of a candidate. The daily grind didn't make much difference to him. He was warm day in and day out, and one day, he was without doubt. He would become a dragon rider.
After his first couple failures at impressing, he'd started to get disheartened, but there were older candidates than him. He wouldn't allow himself to worry for long and just got more and more determined to impress.
