Seriously now, why do I have THREE?
Hey all! This is Vicki, mun of Siana and Merri, coming in with my third (oh dear god why) character.
This handsome fellow is Kiernan, and he's a 38-year-old Dragon Rider. He's friendly, flirty, and mischievous, and currently he spends a lot of his time outside of the city doing Rider stuff, though sometimes he'll come in and teach squires and young dragoons if need be. He doesn't have an apartment, so he usually bunks with his dragon, Lucy (who acts like a cat), or with his one night stand/short term girlfriend/whoever's bed he can warm.
His family life isn't the greatest, and when he was younger he was, well, your stereotypical jock. Mildly popular, conceited, didn't take his training or studies seriously (though he wasn't a thickheaded idiot), and picked on nerdy types, especially his younger brother Elwen, who was a mage scholar. Ever since the death of his older brother in a training accident and the disappearance of Elwen, though, Kiernan changed his ways. Full details can be found here, but in short, one brother is dead, the other one has been missing for years and is presumed dead, his mother is dead, and his father is dying. Still, he won't let you know that he's struggling with all of this, and he especially won't let you know that he used to be a bully.
So, possible connections!
+ Fighters! He's in the guild and he goes to the guildhalls a lot to change clothes, bathe, try to get some free food, and teach, especially squires and dragoons. So run-ins there, possibly!
+ Rangers! He used to be a Ranger before he became a Dragon Rider. He quit the Rangers about five years ago, but he'll still work with them if they need him to.
+ Mages! Ooooh boy, this one is complicated. Kiernan doesn't avoid mages; he avoids the tower except once a year. Reason being is that his younger brother, Elwen, was a scholar who mysteriously disappeared, and Kiernan is not exactly blameless in the turn of events that led to it. Again: he was a bully to his brother especially, which led to Elwen, who was already very quiet, to become a recluse. So here are my thoughts:
-> Mages over the age of 31 probably knew Elwen before he disappeared
-> Mages between the ages of maybe 27-31 likely didn't know Elwen, but are aware of the disappearance because of the rumor mill
-> All other mages: Idk, up to you
But for knowing Kiernan, if they get out to the bars, possible run-ins there, or if they've ever worked with the Rangers or the Riders. Whether or not they like him depends on what they've heard, what they know, and their personality type, that kind of thing.
+ Women! If they've met, he's flirted with them. Maybe even spent the night on a cold and/or rainy or snowy day. Trading sex for lodging! Or they could have been in a short-term relationship. For a man with a string of one night stands, he's actually not against commitment.
+ Everyone else! He goes to the bars a lot when he's in the city? XD
+ As always, I'm open to ideas!
