Darren MacBride

• a.k.a.
• Age: 21
• Marital Status: Very single.
• Occupation: Jr. Officer in the Thendara City Guard.
• Former Occupations: Cadet
• Residence: Thendara
• Laran gift and laran training: Very minimal - if any. Can *hear* if thought is directed right at him, only sometimes...
• Politics: Conservative but open-minded to sound logical ideas - some Terran stuff is good, some is rubbish... Family background has promoted an open attitude towards Terran things in general - but doesn't like when Darkover's independence is threatened by over-zealous politicians...
• Personality: Very good natured, and loves a good joke. Has a talent of being able to maintain sense of humor in stressful situations.
• Strengths: Professional, and is good at listening to the whole story before making a judgement about anything. Loyal friend to those who return the favor. Keen sense of humor.
• Weaknesses: Good Firi, pretty girls, can be convinced to bend the rules a bit if there is ample reason to do so.
• Combat training: Standard guard training and practice. Enjoys practicing swordplay in spare time - He is ambidextrous, so often has to practice to keep up his fighting skills.
• Horseback riding: Good
• Appearance: About 6 feet tall, strong build, sandy blonde hair, big blue eyes. Almost pretty - but don't let that fool you.
• Romantic relationships: None - doesn't want anything to get in the way of his career at the moment. Enjoys the bachelor life too much!
• Friends: Lt. Rafael Castamir - Darren is one of the only people who really understands what makes Rafe tick...Is impervious to the man's crabbiness. It makes him laugh.
• Pets:
• Hobbies: Wasn't that covered in weaknesses...? Good firi...pretty girls... Loves falconry, but seldom gets the opportunity to go hunting
• Other Information: Darren is from a fairly wealthy family in Thendara who operate a chain of trading post-like shops, that specialize in Terran goods that are worthwhile and well made. No fake Gucci bags there... Has three sisters and one brother who all help their parents with the stores. Darren entered the cadets at 15, and has been with the guards ever since. Loves the way of life and the variety of responsibilities that fall on him. Thrives on never a dull moment. (That's why there have never been any significant women or even pets in his past - it would ruin his ability to be flexible with his life)
