SatonynName Pronounced: sah-TOE-nehn Appearance: Outwardly calm, Satonyn has long dark brown hair that he keeps pulled back into a small ponytail at the base of his skull. His deep brown eyes recall a warm cup of tea that one would drink to relax after a stressful night. There is a prominent scar on his forehead over his left eye from an incident in training when he was learning how to use swords. His eyebrows are thick but defined and angled just so to give him an almost bored expression no matter the situation. He’s slim which helps him move better in his fighting style, and he’s a fast runner. What facial hair that he has is kept trimmed neatly in a little goatee if not shaved completely off. Personality: At first, Satonyn just appears to be bored with his dead gaze and blank face. In reality, he is calm and meditative. He puts more energy into keeping himself lucid and ready to protect his charge than he does into emoting and even speaking. Satonyn is very difficult to rile thanks to hours spent peacefully meditating with both a Pernese variant of yoga, calmly practicing his martial arts, and reflecting in dead silence. His principal is the most important thing, more even than himself, and he will hold no reserves to protect them. History: Born 6.27 in a minor hold looking to Igen Weyr, Satonyn grew up as a farm boy doing normal farm chores with his many brothers and sisters. He liked to pretend his implements were fancy swords and his father noticed. A retired guard himself, Satonyn’s father taught his son how to fight properly… by not fighting. From ages seven through fifteen, he was taught meditation and how to create and maintain an inner calm to prevent outbreaks of rage or temper. It was so that his strikes would be planned and exact and not driven by passion and emotion. Information about Satonyn's pets Pet Name: Satosk Pet Type: Blue Wher Appearance: Satosk reminds one of still and deep water, that calming dark blue that you can spend the whole afternoon staring into and enter a kind of meditative trance that brings a deep calm. He’s on the smaller side of blue with a lithe form to accompany it, his movements smooth and flowing like the water his hide mimics. Personality: Satosk is a calm boy, obedient and patient to the letter. Rarely will he act on his own and prefers instead to follow Satonyn’s instructions. If given none, he will remain still. If told to guard, he will, but if told to play, it’s like a whole new wher. Satosk’s playful side is bright and lively, the blue wher bouncing about like he’s a whelp all over again.
