Age: 14

Character Information
Appearance:
Mik is just barely of age to stand for this Hatching. He isn't small for his age however, almost on the large size one could say, with arms and legs that have developed well from helping out around the weyr for most of his life. That isn't to say he's muscled mind; solid would be a better word for it. Once he has planted his feet he seems as though nothing could move him. The feet supporting him are rather too big at the moment, precursors to a growth spurt he hopes, but he has managed to learn how to not trip over them and can once again almost keep up with the older Candidates.

He has a head of mud brown hair, cropped rather short, that has no curl to it and usually stays where he puts it. The only rebellion it shows is occasionally falling into his eyes when it goes too long between getting cut, at which time he's been known to take a pair of sheers and try and fix it himself. While there might not be anything special about his hair his eyes are a deep blue and quite easily his most startling feature. His skin is usually pale excepting the few months of summer when it burns quite nicely before going back to being pale. There is still a bit of child like chubbiness to be found on his face, but the bone structure is rather nice with good cheekbones, a straight nose and a rather stubborn jaw.

--Update--
He's put on more muscle in the two years since first introduced, as well as quite a bit of height. He's still to be considered stocky though, as he isn't nearly as tall as his feet led him to believe. He no longer trips over them, and they no longer look like he's wearing clown shoes at all times.
Personality:
If Mik were to be summed up in a word it would be stubborn. If Mik were to be summed up in two words it would be stubborn and idealistic. The combination does not always work well for him, as it means that he stubbornly refuses to let anyone he sees as the 'bad guys' win, refuses to even consider the possibility of failure and by the egg of Farenth everyone, and he really does mean everyone, should get a happy ending. It's a good thing that he's optimistic, resilient and able to bounce back from his many, many failed schemes and complex plans that never pan out the way he has planned them to. There are a few people he would never interfere with, a few places he wouldn't think of going without express permission from one of the dragon riders, but beyond those select few anything and everything are seen as fair game.

The persistent and energetic Mik isn't the brightest glow, although he is quite far from being a dim one. It isn't too often that he thinks before he acts, although thankfully he thinks, and quite a bit too, before he speaks. Although he is certainly energetic enough to potentially make even the fittest of dragon riders feel old and tired the energy does not extend to his mouth. Keeping secrets is one of the few things he has been good at for a very long time, although admittedly that was more because he liked the idea of knowing something anything his older brother didn't then anything else originally. Now he has learned that there are some things some people would rather he didn't know about, and some things some people would be very angry to learn that he knew, so he mostly keeps his mouth shut.

The only times he speaks without thinking are when he is very excited or very angry, and sometimes it is hard to tell between them. In either case he begins by turning rather pink and spluttering a little, trying to find words to push out of his mouth. That is where the initial similarities end however. If excited his mouth will stretch in a grin that looks like it wants to separate the two halves of his head, where as if angry he goes from pink to red and will begin yelling. He's usually done being angry quickly and his forgiveness is relatively easy to earn but you do have to apologise and ask for it. If you don't, he will hold a grudge until you do.
History:
Mik knows that his father is a dragonrider, and if pressed could even tell you his name (M'ken of brown Rasnekth) but for him his parents are the cooks of the weyr. He's a creche baby, raised as one of many of other babies belonging to dragon riders who didn't particularly want to have to care for them. His mother had been a cook too, but she had died in child birth after bearing her second son. Mik was well aware of who his older brother was even from a very early age. Everyone compared the two of them, and invariable Ronnik came out on top. Not to mention that Ronnik was a bit of a bully, forever getting Mik, who adored him when younger, to do all his dirty work for him. As Mik grew older though he saw how exactly he was being treated differently from the others by his brother and so one day when Ronnik yelled at him to do something Mik yelled back.

It was a good feeling, standing up for himself, and from that point onwards he never did anything his brother asked unless it was something he wanted to do. Ronnik was only two years older then Mik but that age difference meant a lot when Ronnik decided what he really wanted to do was be a smith, not a dragon rider, and so their father agreed he could become an apprentice and leave the weyr if he so chose. That was the option Ronnik took, and from that point forward Mik found himself without a brother he had to stand up to and a lot more free time on his hands. He took that free time to watch others around him and decided that each of them had a Ronnik in their lives, and that he should help them stand up to it.

This generally ended poorly, but running away from compromised missions to gather information and failed plans kept him in shape if nothing else. Slowly but surely he became the boy he is now, although recently a new element has been added. Thread has started falling on Pern, and if that isn't a Ronnik to the whole planet then Mik isn't sure what would be. He is determined to Impress a dragon in order to help save the planet, and come fog fire or fall (or even maybe all three) he will do it by the egg of Faranth!

--Update--
If not at his first Hatching, then at his second. He was devastated when none of the hatchlings decided he was their rider, but he worked through it and is more determined then ever to Impress a dragon, maybe even a really big dragon that could help out a lot in threadfall. If there was one good thing that came of that time in his life it is the Golden Sarissa, who is his constant companion. He did his best to help out around the weyr with threadfall, starting to be curious about Dragon Healing and maybe, but only very tentatively, considering it as a possible career if he doesn't Impress at the next Hatching.
