Name: L'von
Age: 19 T
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual
Rank: Weyrling greenrider
Appearance: L'von is short, stocky and very muscular, standing at about 5'6''. His face is heart-shaped, with an average-sized refined-looking nose, slightly plump, pink lips, and an open smile, which doesn't come out often. His eyes, a murky green, seem stern when first seen under his thick, dark eyebrows, but crinkle when he smiles or has mischief in mind.
His hair is wavy, dark brown, and cropped short, though he would like it longer, to hide the ill-healed scar on the side of his neck. He dresses plainly, not because he wants to, but because he simply doesn't have any fancier clothes, or marks to buy them with.
Personality: At first meeting, L'von is the strong, silent type; he doesn't have much to say, and when he does say something, it's gruff and short. He doesn't trust anyone easily. But when he decides to trust and confide in someone, he is soft-spoken and considerate. The tough act originated as a way to hide the fact that he's interested in men from his father and brothers back at the hold.
All the hiding and avoiding has made him painfully shy, and he has trouble interacting with people who have forceful or enthusiastic personalities. He's frightened to death of wherries because of the attack that gave him his scar, but is very good with cooking them and other things, when he dares to cook. He tells himself he doesn't need anyone else in his life and that he is fine on his own, but the truth is that he just wants to settle down with someone.
History: L'von is the youngest child in a family notorious in his hold for being the most rigid, strict, hide-bound workaholics around. Being the youngest, he was always expected to listen to his older brothers and be silent while doing it. When he realized he was attracted to men, he also realized that he couldn't tell his parents, so he decided to work hard at being the most like his brothers that he could. He did more manual labor than any of them, so that his muscles grew, and he spoke less to hide what he considered a feminine voice. His parents noticed the change in behavior, and praised him for it, but he grew more depressed.
In the last few months before he was Searched, there was an incident at L'von's hold. A man most people knew to be homosexual was found beaten nearly to death in one of the back corridors. When a search began to find who had done it, two of L'von's brothers stepped up, proudly, and said they had done it, and why, which involved the man's sexual preference. L'von grew scared, and when a group of men came who were on their way to Dark Moon Weyr, he didn't even tell his family he was leaving, and went with them.
When he reached Dark Moon, he offered to do drudge work, or anything that would help him earn his keep. Then the Hatching came around. He settled in the stands, not expecting that he would Impress green Zalith. Now he is a weyrling, training to become a full dragonrider in preparation for Thread.
Pets: none
Dragon: Green Zalith
Dragon Appearance: Zalith has a strong, solid build, and her hide is a pale green with streaks of blue, purple and red throughout.
Dragon Personality: Zalith is very prim and proper, and always polite, but when she decides on something, there is no dissuading her. She is determined to bring her rider out of his shell and is not above plotting with other dragons to do so.
