Out Of Character
Name: Kerso
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Craft: Apprentice farmer
What were your ambitions before being Searched or choosing to present yourself for Candidacy?
I was planning to move to Southern Boll Hold and marry a wealthy holder girl.
Why would you make a good dragonrider?
I was never meant to be just a farmer. I was born to do greater things. Being a dragonrider is so much more IMPORTANT than being a farmer, or being a wealthy holder.
If you are not accepted as a Candidate, what would you do?
Well, I'm only 17, I can stand for another year. I'll stay in the Weyr and put myself forward again for the next Hatching.
Were you Searched or are you presenting yourself for consideration?
I was Searched!
What is your Craft rank and specialty?
My father made me apprentice as a farmer, but it's never been my passion. I've learned to be a decent grain farmer.
Where were you born and raised?
In a small farming cothold outside of Peyton Hold.
How many siblings/fellow fosterlings did you have?
Two sisters and a younger brother.
What kind of tasks did you perform in your former residence?
I helped my father in the fields most of the time, plowing, planting, tending, and harvesting grain crops.
How many times have you encountered a dragon and/or dragonrider (including what color/rank, if known)? A Lord and/or Lady Holder? A Craft Master and/or Craftmaster?
The blue dragon who Searched me and the bronzerider and his bronze who brought me here are the only dragons and riders I've met. I've never met a Lord or Lady Holder, or a Craft Master.
You see a Journeyman Crafter, apparently in his late teens, picking on a much younger, smaller Apprentice. What do you do?
I tell the Journeyman to knock it off and then tell the Apprentice that he needs to toughen up.
You encounter a fellow Candidate in a nearly empty corridor; she's clearly distraught. You find out that she just received news that her parents were killed in a mining accident. What do you do?
Apologize for intruding and leave.
You're awakened in the middle of the night by a fellow Candidate sneaking out of your shared barracks. He confesses that he's going to play a prank on one of the Candidates. What do you do?
Go back to bed. If he wants to get in trouble with the Headwoman, that's his problem, not mine.
During a stint in the livestock area, a group of herdbeasts stampedes when a dragon flies over. Three younglings running around in the fields are trampled. What do you do?
Go for help. I'm not stupid enough to go into a field with stampeding herdbeasts.
You are given a week of restdays during which you can do absolutely anything you want. How do you spend them?
I would go to as many Gathers and celebrations as I can find, maybe host my own party. Try to meet rich people, maybe a rich girl to hang out with.
What are your sexual interests? Girls, of course. You couldn't figure that out?
