LUCIAN
[/center]Name:
Lucian
Pronunciation:
LOO-SHEN
Age:
Twenty-Five Turns
Season Born In:
Spring
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Bisexual
Appearance:
Lucian's body is slim, rather than muscular, which is odd for someone in the Smithcraft. Rather short, at only five feet and nine inches, it becomes apparent that Lucian's body is toned, rather than overly muscular. His veins don't pop out like he's a crazy bod builder, but he can carry his own weight after so many years in a strenuous craft.
For dress, the Journeyman typically wears (fairly) nice breeches and embroidered tunics in various shades. His boots are always in good shape, for he tries to keep his "every day clothes" separate from his "work clothes," which are generally patched and threadbare from the heat of the work.
The man's dark hair is usually kept at a short length. Though the style could be seen as "shaggy," Lucian wears it in such a way that he manages to pull it off. After all, what Smithcrafter would be clean-cut and nice-looking? During the summer, his hair turns a lighter brown, due to time spent out in the sun, which contrasts nicely with his light blue eyes.
Personality:
Lucian is forward, curious, nosy, and tends to get into everything ever. He is unintentionally mischievous: he doesn't mean to cause trouble (usually) but tends to despite his better efforts. He is not afraid to get dirty, and is a hard worker, despite disliking his craft. The Journeyman is also rather tenacious and hyperactive
He is slightly slow to learn most things, but everything he does learn is understood extremely thoroughly. Lucian is slightly clumsy, except when smithing or hunting or fighting. He can be blunt, and a little rude (usually by accident). He is judgmental, and forms quick impressions of people and tends to treat them according to how he has judged them. The Journeyman really likes fine pottery and glazing, and is fascinated by ceramics and glasscrafters.
The man is talkative and fairly social, but prefers to be in his own group of friends. He is loyal, forming strong relationships, but is wary of strangers. He tends to forge a second family (more or less) out of his friends (i.e, his friends are family; this started unintentionally, but he's aware of this tendency now and does it actively.)
He is loving and affectionate, and is never shy about sharing his feelings. If it's on his mind, he says it. He enjoys providing for people, and likes to feel needed. He is not really given to brooding or moping around, but if one of his family/friends is upset at him, he will catch a bad case of the feels and be mopey until the situation is resolved.
Family: Jacian; Father; Guard (50)

Location: Trelis
Rank: Dragon Candidate
Craft: Smithcraft
Ranking: Journeyman
Strengths: Metalcraft; excels in crafting weapons and armor, but also pretty things, too. Good with fine detail.
Weaknesses: Hates his craft. Bad at boring things like crafting runner shoes, etc.
History:
Lucian's mother died in childbirth, and so he never knew her, though his father speaks of her mother often. The romance between them must've been very strong, because he spent the first year of her life pining and barely knowing how to go on without a wife and with a freshly-born baby. He eventually pulled it together, though, and raised his son well. They were always close as Lucian was growing up, and even as he aged and went away to the craft, they remain close and in contact.
Lucian's father was a guard and, not knowing what else to do, he basically taught Lucian basic guarding as a small child. As a result, he's decent with most hand-held weapons, knows the basics of combat (especially about dodging and How To Keep Your Ass Alive, which was his father's greatest concern what with teaching him), and such. He would also take him on hunting trips with him, and taught him those basics. He's retained those skills and fondnesses into adult hood, though what really appealed to him as a child was Starcrafting.
Her interest in Starcrafting never waned, but that was "sissy-boy" nonsense to his father, and so Lucian was apprenticed to the Smithcraft instead. Being strong from learning to fight, Lucian did well as an Apprentice Smith, and walked the tables to Journeyman status at twenty turns. Though he dislikes his craft, he performs it well, but secretly studies the stars in his spare time. When he walked the tables, his father sent him a firelizard egg as a reward, which hatched into his tiny Amethyst friend, Dreamer.
As a Journeyman, he was sent to work at Trelis Weyr when he turned twenty-five turns. Upon arrival, he was (surprisingly) searched as a Candidate.

Appearance/Personality:
As far as appearances go, Dreamer is dainty, and tiny. She is a solid color of light purple, with no markings, and looks as fragile as a statue made of glass. As far as personality goes, she is sweet and shy, and often hides in Lucian's clothing if she gets too scared.
