Physical Description: Zhaydegan is a good looking young man and quite aware of the fact. He doesn't deliberately flaunt it, but he is not at all shy about using it in combination with his charm and he will never turn down a compliment. He is too narrowly built to ever be "rugged" but he's growing out of the lankyness of his teen years and beginning to settle into more of an athletic build: broad shoulders, trim waist, enough muscle to make him capable without being obnoxious. An outdoor-type, he's sun-browned and often has both sleeves and pantlegs rolled up for comfort's sake. His hair is a nearly-black brown, close cropped except his top locks which shag into his eyes, and there is the faintest bit of shadow to his cheeks and jaw. His eyes are a warm brown and a confident smile ever present.
Personality: Zhaydegan is perfectly comfortable where he is. Yes, it's the only life he's ever known, but it's more than that. He's content and happy, not feeling like he's missing out on anything, because he isn't. If he wants to meet someone or talk to That Person Over There, he does it. Wants to invite himself to share a seat looking up at the stars or a place at a lower caverns table, he does it without hesitation. He'll invite himself to lean against a shoulder, too, or sling his arm around someone's shoulder. If you think he's flirting with you, it's a good bet he is. Will he follow through on a flirt? Respond in kind and find out. Long story short, he's not all that respectful of personal space, but he takes correction pretty well, suffering only a brief moment of confusion before he's moved on again.
He's a bright young man and that's not just him bragging on himself. He has a love of maps and star charts and can often be found perched somewhere high, particularly on summer nights, with a handmade chart in his hand, making adjustments and changes as he discovers them. He understands this stuff, and truly enjoys learning the things he doesn't know yet. If he never finds a dragon on the Sands, he hopes he'll be allowed to, at the very least, assist in keeping charts updated, official Starcrafter or no. He is also a planner. Along he maps, he has several that map out the quickest way across the Weyr, how to get to high ground, open spaces with efficiency and the best way to check on those he cares about with the fewest wasted moments. In games of team against team, he's quick to come up with srategies on how to win and how to take advantage of a difference in numbers or pure, physical size.
There is, however, a part of him that he very rarely talks about that feels a little like some of his choices in life have been taken from him by virture of being born in the Weyr and to a family of riders. He feels that he is *expected* to follow in their path and that he will be a disappointment if he doesn't. It troubles him in his most quiet moments.
Zhaydegan goes out of his way to avoid sad situations. It is the one emotion he cannot control and so he will go to extraordinary measures not to let on that he's feeling sad, or at least, not to be seen with tears in his eyes. Disappointment, anger, even fear is manageable, but he cannot handle tears with any sort of grace.
Positive Trait List Intelligent, cheerful, flirty, family oriented, strategic
Negative Trait List No sense of personal space, pushy, tear-phobic, inwardly insecure
History: Zhaydegan was born in Western Weyr and has lived a pretty standard Weyrbrat's life. Where that differs is that there's never been a question of his parentage or what family he belongs to. He is and will probably always been very close to his siblings and cousins and -- well, you get the picture. Anyone who is part of the family headed by F'gon, his father's father, is kin and he'll treat them as such.
F'gon, as a matter of fact, is probably where he learned his love of maps and starcharts. It's a point of pride for him to bring anything he has drawn up and have the older man approve or applaud his efforts. Give that Thread has returned and impacted his family directly, with the death of his aunt, he is determined to learn and map out, even on an amateur scale, how and when and why Thread falls, for the sake of the rest of them, draagon or no.
Despite his personality uncertainties, he's been Standing for hatchines since he was eligible, beside his cousins and sister, and he will continue to do so until he's found or he ages out.
And after that? Well. Maybe that's written in the stars, too.
Other: Zhaydegan has a youger, candidate-aged sister.
