Significant others: None. But he does look up to his Mentor and Uncle Journeyman Healer Tukker

Children: None.

Height: Finally stopped growing at 6'4"

Build: He's lean and muscular, he keeps himself in good shape, and good health, even though he forgets to eat sometimes...

Hair color/style: He cut it since taking up training with his Uncle, for easier care. It's about three inches all over his head, brown with red high lights, and a few spots that have been bleached by the sun. It's always just ruffled, and he usually just runs his hand through it...

Eyes: A soft Chocolate brown when he's calm and relaxed, with little green flex all through them, but when his temper has the better of him, or some other strong emotion, they're a beautiful vivid green.

Complexion: He has a naturally slightly darker skin tone, and he just naturally darkens in the sun.

Anything you feel would help describe your persona better: He usually has a five o'clock shadow, just a light one, and as an attempt to stick out from his brothers he has two small barbell piercings in the outer edge of his left eyebrow. He has a mischievous smirk that borders on evil, or boyish depending on what he'd getting into. He keeps his old dragon pendant in a hide bound book in his trunk in his weyr, it was a gift from his great Uncle that raised him, but he just can't bring himself to wear it after finding out some of the things he has from his Uncle Tukker. He only carries one knife anymore, it's a boot knife, in his left boot, looks a lot like a survival knife, as he can use it for just about anything, and he's used it healing a few times. He also most of the time has a beaten up only weyrhide messenger bag with him, with his hides that he's studying, and the basic supplies for healing.

Distinguishing marks: Scar from the corner of his right eye, down to the bottom of his jaw, rather straight, scar down the outside of his left arm, can't really see them unless he's in the right light.

Clothing Style: Usually Dark brown or black weyrhide pants with reinforced knees, and about eight pockets, with a big one on the outside of both knee, he's been known to forget what pocket he puts things in, but he does use the pockets. Usually a blue, red, green, or black tunic, he doesn't go for light colors, as he get's messy sometimes, and last time he wore a white tunic it was ruined as he ended up helping deliver a baby. He always wears his riding boots though.

Habits: He used to toss his belt knife when he was thinking hard, but too often people have thought he was going to do something bad, so he finally broke that one. He runs his hand through his hair when frustrated, he's been known to roll his eyes at his sister, or any of his brothers. He's fairly expressive with his face, but he's learned to use his 'poker' face from his Uncle when people annoy him, and when he's confused, especially when he's healering.

Hobbies: Training hard to be a Healer, under his Uncle and Neloru. He studies, swims, runs, spars, and when it gets too much he takes a long flight with Dodgeseth, and screams where no one will hear to let out the stress. He's been known for wise cracks, and he usually has a comeback for anything and everything. But lately, he'd never admit it, but he took up sewing to practice his stitching...

Personality: He used to be very energetic and quick to anger, and slow to calm down. He has already gotten into a couple of fights for that, and no matter if he knew people well or not he would not let anyone walk on him. He was strong minded and spirited, he won't take anyone talking bad about his father, or teasing him about his mother, if they did they usually end up with a black eye or a dislocated jaw.

But he's matured a lot in the past couple turns, he's calmed down. He's learned allot, he still has a wise mouth, but he usually manages to keep it to himself. He's friendly, and he can sometimes channel the energetic and annoying young man he used to be, but he's usually as calm and collected as Jal'yn anymore. He's got a weird connection with his closest brother, Jal'yn, they'll dress a like and not even plan it, and they've been known to get the same injuries. Some have even seen Ry'ndo limping when Jal'yn's sprained his weak ankle again, without Ry'ndo even realizing he's doing it. He's a kind and caring man, he'll do just about anything to help someone. He has hopes of walking that tables and becoming a good Weyrhealer someday, but right now, as much studying as he does it still seems ages away to him... He's one of those that keeps his temper in close check anymore, he buries it, and most of his feeling deep, hiding behind humor, and wise cracks, he doesn't talk about things that bother him, and then eventually he does explode, but always when he's alone with Dodgeseth, and the brown usually laughs because he is kind of funny when he does finally vent his frustration, anger, and annoyance...

Background: Born with three other sibling, and early, he was a healthy baby. He was born to the now former Weyrleader, and a greenrider. His father soon after lost his dragon in a double Queen rising, and left the weyr, then returned for a while then left again. When his father left the second time he's been told that his mother suicided out of grief and sadness her green and her followed Sulleth /between/. There was a scuffle over who would take him and his sibling in after his mother died, and they were finally fostered, and allowed to spend allot of their time with their uncle R'andy. R'andy asked to take them to some of his family, who could raise them with out any other responsibilities. R'andy took them back in time for a full sixteen turns while only a few days passed in present time. They grew up under R'andy's care, and one of Ryan's uncle and aunts, that live in a remote hold. He knows a lot about his father, and Sulleth and Grally, and all of his father's accomplishments, but only a few times has he ever gotten R'andy to tell him about his mother, and even then R'andy would break down into tears, even though for him she's been dead for sixteen turns. He doesn't know much about his mother, but he knows allot about his aunts and uncles. R'andy brought them back to the weyr a few days after they'd left in the present time, and he's really excited to meet his father, and his aunts and uncles, though his was a little reluctant to leave the Hold. He knows he's not to say anything about the timing, but he also knows his uncle R'andy's going to get in big trouble. He was surprised when Ranth spoke to him and told him he was a likely candidate. He dreams about his mother and father, and has gotten a few sketches from R'andy of them, with their dragons, sometimes he has the occasionally flash back of a tall skinny woman with a very sad face, kissing the top of his head, and then saying good bye, but that's all he remembers. He hopes to get to know his father, and his aunts and uncles, even though he knows it'll be strange for them seeing the five of them so much older, and them being as old as a couple of R'andy and Ryan's siblings. Ryando was surprised when he was searched by Ranth..

He impressed Brown Dodgeseth, and went through weyrling training with out much trouble, though his brothers and sister learned that he is definitely not a morning person, he made it through but only because of a constant supply of klah. He's a night person, he hates morning training, but he's there, and many times he takes a nap afterward. He knew about half the healing information that Jal'yn knew, but he kept up his studies while Jal'yn stopped. He formally asked the Weyrleaders, and they changed him to a less demanding wing, and allowed him to chase his dream, so long as he keeps Dodgeseth in good health.

Training under Journeyman Neloru, and Journeyman Tukker has been hard with drills, Fighting thread, and more, but he drives himself hard. He's learned how to deliver babies, and how to set bones, how to tell when people are faking, and how to diagnose and treat most of the more common illnesses. He still has a little trouble doing stitches, but he's learning. Most of his free time not spent tending Dodgeseth is spent in the Infirmary, learning everything he can, and helping... He still hates it when people die though, it rides heavy on his heart and mind for a long time.

His father returned, and re impressed a brown, and well Ry'ndo avoids him like a plague victim, for reasons all his own. He has managed to get Tukker to open up about Ryan though, and he knows a lot, though he's neglected to tell any of his siblings... And he's heard a few of the stories of his other Uncles that were killed in the shakes, and a lot of it's taken away the 'perfect family' image they grew up with and the romantic image of his parents, but he keeps his mouth shut. He doesn't want to ruin it for his sister. Though he's formed his own opinions, and he really wishes he could have met his other Uncles and Aunts...

He, and all three of his siblings had a relationship with a single green rider, and he kind of liked her, but she thought his two brothers were him. Lately he hasn't really talked to any of his siblings, not exactly because of this, but he really doesn't know what to think of the whole affair, he was with the woman for a whole of maybe ten candlemarks and then he got called to drills. He's none too sure what to do, so he's been avoiding the situation...
