Rank: Apprentice Weaver and Candidate

Character Information

Appearance: Beginning from the top, his hair is shaggy and dark brown. The wavy mass often gets in his eyes and it tends to look like a dirty mop. His eyes, when not covered, are brown with golden glints. The color is like finding gold while digging in dirt. From there, his rounded nose sits between the two round treasures and is followed by thin lips that are often pulled into a small smile. His overall face is smooth and oval with a boney chin hanging at the bottom.

The rest of him is usually clad in a fresh green tunic and nice dark brown trousers. Most of his clothes are expertly made by Master Weaver Laura and were made to help him learn the techniques. Other people tend to be jealous of this and taunt him with jibes about him being his mother’s toy doll. Underneath the well made clothes, he is thinner than he should be with slowly developing muscles. His hands, sticking out of the long sleeves, are thin and quick with a stitching needle and weaving block.

Personality: Honest, quiet, and unsure of himself. Those are the words that best describe him. He is deathly afraid of disappointing either of his parents and is also torn between the two lives he wants to live. The subtle art of weaving has fascinated him from the beginning and is quite fun, but to ride his own dragon against Thread would be the ultimate thrill.

When not worrying about his future, Landon sitting by himself. People watching is something he loves to do (other than weaving). It’s gives him a moment to himself to sit back and relax. Other than the skills of their trade, his parents have taught other important stuff. B’don is constantly stressing discipline and honesty while Laura has taught him kindness and patience.

These strong lessons have kept Landon out of trouble despite all the teasing. One troublemaker had even switched his laundry with a girl's, giving him a basket of dresses and girl under things. Without a word or a glance at the troublemaker, Landon walked down to the lower caverns and traded baskets with the girl whose laundry was stole. When the girl asked why he had it Landon just shrugged and said it must have been an accident.Tricks like these never bothered him as much as it would a shyer boy. The only way they could upset him is if they mocked his parents. If they did, they would end up with a punch right in the nose. Landon might not be strong but he still knows how to fight (and a boney fist hurts more than a fat one).

History: Son of a bluerider and the weyr's master weaver, Landon has always had a conflicted future. His mother, Laura, wants him to be a weaver while his father, B'don, wants him to be a dragonrider. Though they love each other and their son very much, this was one thing they would not agree on. Finally, after much arguing and some outside help (mainly Laura's customers and B'don's wing mates) they agreed to compromise. Landon would be trained for both candidancy and cloth making. If he didn't impress a dragon by his fifth time Standing, he would transfer to the Weaver Hall for training.

Landon loves his parents very much and knows how lucky he was to have not been fostered out. With his parents being very important people it would seem they wouldn't have enough time for their son. In fact, it was they very opposite. They took turns caring for their son when the other was busy. Each training their son to follow in their footsteps. When with his mother, she would show him how to make a rug or mend clothing. When with his father, the bluerider taught him more than just the candidate basics and even let Landon ride his blue beast, Speranth. The stubborn man was determined his son be a dragonrider.

With an uncertain future, Landon is ready to stand on the hatching grounds for the first time. Though the eggs aren't even laid yet, he is guarenteed a spot on the scorching sands for the next five hatchings. Even if he doesn't impress, he is ready to accept the life of a weaver and make his mother proud.
