Character Name: Vorlin Age: 18 Rank: Former weyrbrat/Candidate Physical Description: He stands 6’6” and has a slim, wiry build. He has reddish brown hair and hazel eyes. He wears his hair drawn back in a shoulder length ponytail held in place by a tie of black leather. His facial features are sharp but not harshly so. He is well tanned and has the look of someone who has been traveling a lot. Personality: Vorlin is easygoing but not particularly outgoing. He tends to be careful about what he says and to whom.  He is sure of himself but tries not to draw too much attention to himself.  When he does let his opinion be known, he tends to be rather blunt and quite direct. He knows how to defend himself but prefers to avoid violence if at all possible.  He dislikes being “mothered” and prefers to be respected for who he is instead of whom he might be related to or anything like that. History: Vorlin was raised in Igen Weyr by his father N’vor and N’vor’s mother Analla.  As he grew up, he got along well with Scharth, his father’s brown dragon.  He had a relatively happy childhood. As he reached his teen years, he felt that at times he was viewed more as his father’s son than who he was as an individual. On top of this, he never really grew any and was still 5’6” when he turned 15.  Soon after he turned 15, he decided to strike out on his own. He left a note saying he would be back sometime. Scharth let it be known that he thought that he agreed with what Vorlin had done.  Just after he left, Vorlin underwent a major growth spurt and shot up to 6’6”.  He spent the next three years traveling around with Barlin merchant train. He slimmed down and put on some compact muscle mass over the years. Over this time, he matured and developed. Recently the merchant train arrived in the area of Silver Shores Weyr and has planned a stop at the weyr. Notes: Vorlin has noticeably grown and changed in appearance since the people who knew him from Igen Weyr has seen him. Most people will probably think he looks familiar but won’t recognize him at first. Vorlin is gay.
