PeltoranName Pronounced: (pell`TOR`an) Appearance: Peltoran is a short and skinny-built kid, not the sort you would ever see bullying someone or picking fights but rather the one you might see on the other end getting pushed around and laughed at: he’s not much taller than 170cm (5’6”) and a real slender kid with just enough muscle to avoid looking malnourished. His black hair is usually scuffled and unkempt, just long enough in the back to start tickling at his neck. His eyes are bright and resemblant of a blue-green colour. Personality: Peltoran has matured through the experiences he has witnessed firsthand at Arolos and his wild spirit has been tempered into something a lot more productive. He is an extreme extrovert and enjoys expanding his list of known people in the Weyr. It is not uncommon for Pel to strike up unusual conversation with complete strangers regardless of where he is. It doesn't matter if they know him or remember him if he comes away from the situation with a bit more knowledge than he had before, but having friends and acquaintances in such a large place as a Weyr is always an asset. Pel will strive to appease strangers and make friends but he will never stray from his usual behaviours or thoughts. History: Peltoran was born in Fort Hold, named in the memory of Tobalt's dearest and departed friend Pelgram (who had Impressed and become P'gram) the last of Masterharper Tobalt's children. For the earlier years of his childhood he lived in the shadow of his older brother Toranalt who had already become a Harper and was making their father very proud. That only made Peltoran want to lash out and make himself independent, make himself known apart from his brother, but he did so in a lot of ways that were downright mischevious.
