Candidate
Username: Sayuri
Character Number: 2
Name: Kurosaki
Age: 19 *Spring*
Rank: Dragon Candidate
Weyr: Antaris Weyr
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance:
To say that Kurosaki is easily looked over is all at once the most accurate description, and the most incorrect one. In many ways he should stand out; from his dirty blonde hair that tends to have a mind of its own, to his crooked grin which only shows itself at the oddest moments and in the most fleeting of fashions. However, it is easy to not see these things when the most common expression is the lack of one. He seems broken from the world to most, and if he happens to talk, it is filled by a morbid undertone. The only time that smile comes is when his tenor voice turns to picking fun at others in jest.
Besides this though, there is his body structure as well. Standing at almost 6 feet, it is on the taller side and tends to be one of those outstanding factors. Yet, even this is a portrayal of his two-faced personality. One moment he can be hunched over, his lean, but strong body shrinking into a crowd. The next he can be found sprawled out lazily somewhere, his gangly legs thrown carelessly and seeming to take up all the space available.
The boy rarely smiles too, so that doesn't help things. Even when he does, it seldom reaches his eyes, a dark, klah brown color. They often are said to be sad as well, sad eyes that show too much and not enough all at once. The only time that disappears is if someone happens to make him laugh. Not just the slight laughter that is mainly made up either, but the kind that shakes you and just comes at the most unexpected times. It is in these few moments where the depressed and lonely child fades away, but never for too long.
There are other things that people will note about Kurosaki, though they are things that one must know him for to see. His hands, slim and slightly calloused, are nimble and decent enough at performing tasks. His body is made for speed more than strength as well. That is never to say however that he cannot hold his own. Thanks to turns of rough housing with his brothers and friends, and working a drudge's chores, Kurosaki has a handle on his body and strength.
The only other thing to note is his attire really. Even that is something easily overlooked though, made up of muted colors that are matted in texture. Browns, grays, blacks, the occasional blue or green; these are the colors that Kurosaki prefers to wear.
Personality:
"You're nothing but a pessimist Kurosaki! Why do you always have to be so depressing?"
That's what his brothers used to tell him all the time, that he was always the downer in the group. The funny thing, Kuro knew full well what he was doing, and he liked it. Sure it wasn't easy necessarily to always say the wrong things and be the one to ruin everyone's fun, but for him, it was amusing. His brothers and closest friends had no clue why the boy found it so, they just accepted it for what it was. In a way, it was Kurosaki trying to gain everyone's attention and affection. It was strange and a bit convoluted, but for him it was enough.
It never helped, or helps still, that he's incredibly sarcastic with most things as well. From just plainly saying the opposite of what he feels, to jesting and blowing situations out of proportion, he likes being a ham. That's when he talks though. Since the incidents in the hold, he doesn't socialize much at all. He thinks he doesn't deserve it, and even when he's pestering others, it's because he can't allow himself to think of them as a potential friend.
When he feels like it, and isn't in the mood to be sarcastic *which is few and far in between*, Kuro can actually flirt. He likes to think himself smooth with the ladies, even if they don't think so, but sometimes it does work out. The boy has a trick, one he guards jealously and considers to be something that people have to figure out on their own. He listens. Even when it seems like he doesn't, even when it appears that he is only goofing off, he always pays attention.
History
Kurosaki wasn't any different than the other drudge children growing up in the Holds near Tarrian. He had drudge parents, he was related to a few riders in Tarrian Weyr, and he learned with the other youngsters in the Hold. Everything was pretty boring to be honest. The only thing that really stands out in the boy's early childhood are the few times that he would get into trouble with his siblings and cousin. Mostly it was by ruining the cook's food, or stealing some glows while the drudges weren't looking. Generally, these things weren't even noticed.
As he got older, the games grew old, but his siblings and "friends" still often cause mischief. Naturally for the first few turns Kurosaki stayed by their side, but time and time again he would be the one blamed. By the time he was 13, Kurasaki was done with being seen as the "bad egg" of his family. Instead of trying to turn around his image or tell the truth whenever his brothers and sister blamed him, he allowed it to continue. One might even say that the boy enjoyed the attention, thought he quickly learned to never say so. In fact, he started to say nothing at all, and before anyone knew it, the anti-social dimglow that everyone came to know was born.
There was one girl in particular thought that seemed to always see through him. Instead of befriend her though, Kurosaki antagonized the poor girl. It was through brief instances of teasing, but it was enough to keep her at some sort of distance. Perhaps the two would have eventually gotten past that, but Kurosaki was soon searched by a rider coming to the hold for candidates. Whisked away to Tarrian Weyr, Kurosaki thought that maybe he could start anew. However, old habits die hard, and the boy found himself at odds against the other candidates. At one point, he even got into a fight.
Thankfully, the candidatemaster took pity on Kurosaki and knew that the other boy involved in the fight had been as much to blame as he was. So, for once someone took Kurosaki's side and cut him some slack. The candidate was sent to Antaris Weyr for the next clutch. Maybe this time he'll finally get it right...
Candidate Info
Honorific: K'ro
Preferences:
-Gender Preference? Either
-Any colors or patterns would you like to see? I like interesting patterns and markings, but it's more personality than appearance with me. :3
-Are you okay with them being mauled somewhat? YEP!
-Personality traits you would like/wouldn't like? Multiple things would be good, just please don't give me something similar to what I already have. So, something shy and sweet is probably too much like Majoriith.
