Craft: N/A
Rank: Candidate
Location: Western Weyr
Physical Description: Sivu is moderately tall and wispy, more of a willow tree than a man. He’s never one to slouch and hold his head down low. He walks with his chin lift, and shoulders squared, making him seem taller than he truly is. Each of his limbs are thin and gangly in a foal sort of way. He stands primly, often with his hands crossed behind his back - looking awfully serious. He’s naturally tan, his face is dotted with dark freckles that seem endless (especially in the sunny months). He has patchy facial hair growing in, preferring to keep everything but the shadow on his chin shaved.
His face is thin, and angular. His nose is nearly upturned and seems to have broken and healed quite a few times. His lips are thin just like the rest of him. Its frequently worried between his teeth when he’s concentrating. Sivu has shrewd green eyes. They’re a rich cheery spring green, and would look endlessly friendly if Sivu ever smiled, which is a rare thing in itself. He has unruly auburn hair, tangling easily in curls. Sivu often gets irritated with the ringlets curling in his face and ties it back often to keep it out of the way. He dresses rather practically, preferring leathers and boots in earthy colors. He has no interest in the clothing, usually picking out a miserably dull outfit for dressier occasions. Some speculate this is intentional
Sivu does however does enjoy decorating his body with tattoos. He sat and suffered through intricate patterns along the backs of his hands made out of simple stripes and dots. He’ll tease that he has a bird in flight tattooed somewhere, but he’ll need a few drinks to want to show it off.
Personality: He is a disaster when it comes to craft, or anything finely detailed. He can’t see as many colors as most people claim, and he never inherited the want to make something look perfect. He however has such appreciation for those who have the patience to make such delicate, beautiful things. He’s too nervous to try. Terrible (unwarranted) critiques while finding his footing kept him from wanting to share things he creates. His self confidence in such matters has yet to blossom again.
Sivu is honestly a hopeless romantic. He’s never without a new terrible romance to read, he writes his own (horrible) ones and always tosses them in the fire when he’s done lest he be shamed. He has quite the wandering imagination, his thoughts travel to beautiful places with handsome people. It’s hard to hear the the ballads of old, of the bonds strong of the ancient weyroman and leaders, and to not be left with a wanting void yawning in his heart. Better it flow through pen and ink, instead of making a fool of himself speaking it aloud.
Sivu is not one who desires to control a situation, but one who will ride its wave. He will make the best out of the situation and give something his all, but will not seek to control anyone(or anything really). He’s not one to rise above his station, or have a want to. He’s content to sit at the same spot in life as long as he’s comfortable. The idea of ambition is something foreign to him, and it sounds like an awful lot of work.He has a terrible habit of being lazy. He much prefers being curled in a blanket or lazing outdoors. Skills that don't come easily to him are intimidating, and blockades him from trying to hard at risk of yet another failure
Sivu is quite affectionate with his close friends, finding trinkets for them from interesting places he’s visited or bright beautiful flowers. There is nothing romantic about this notion, and he is constantly giving little gifts. He will never pass up a hug and a trading words over a kitchen fire with some klah with them, for anything in the world. Those who know him best find him a supportive shoulder to lean on, his quieter way of things makes him quite the listening ear! He enjoys spending time with the people he loves - charging best when he’s around them.
Positive Trait List Approachable, Romantic, Creative
Negative Trait List Timid, Compliant, Lazy
History:
Sivu was born to a Harper couple. His mother favored using her voice, and his father a gitar. The youngest out of two children, Sivu never was quite sure where to have his life lead him. He jumped from craft to craft seeing if anything suited him. His hands proved too clumsy and impatient for plucking strings or applying beautiful paints. Sivu had very little ambition and discipline to start learning a skill to stick with it. Seeing his older sister take after their mother, filling the halls with melodies he felt a bit out of place.
Never setting down his inks he wrote. Perhaps... not too badly. He started very young with stories about his family, about silly dragons. He drew them on every scrap of hide - terribly. It became a small point of argument amongst his family, that perhaps if he set aside such things he'd be able to apply himself a bit more. If he ever had the confidence to show off what was on the page to more than family he might have found finally such a thing that suited him. But if you're older sister laughs once at something you make, it makes a man less inclined to show his work off!
On search a particularly friendly brownrider’s dragon seemed to take an interest in Sivu. The words used by the searchrider… stung, even if they were well meant. ”Seem’s crafts aren’t your calling.” That was putting it lightly. ”Perhaps you could try another direction. Maybe you’re more suited to standing for a clutch. You never know.”
Sivu couldn’t say no, even if he was hopelessly trying (ah, failing]) to find his calling. He was raised on the ballads of Lessa and F’lar. Who didn’t dream of riding one of the great beasts of pern? And now… with Thread threatening all, maybe that searchrider was onto something. What he didn’t know he could be taught - right? Candidate lessons prove at the least interesting for him! Maybe with a bit of luck something in him will be worthy enough. If not.. well he has two hands and a brain, right? There at least had to be some sort of job that needed done at the Weyr if he happened to fail at Standing too.
Other: While he has no firelizards, he has a terrible soft spot for them. He likes to stop everything he’s doing to stop and point out a firelizard and watch them a while. He’s nervous around them, as they seem so delicate, but he is endlessly fascinated!
