Humans:
Name: Kinam
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Candidate
Physical Appearance: Kinam is a rather sturdy looking fellow, standing at about six foot even. He's got a strong appearance about him, though he doesn't have muscles bulging everywhere about him. His skin is tan, healthy looking. His eyes and hair are both a dark shade of brown, almost black. His hair is curly, and the bottom touches the very bottom edge of his earlobe. He's very clean looking, even when he's hard at work.
Personality: Kinam is as sturdy as he appears, keeping true to his own code, and refusing to alter it no matter the cost. He's got a high morality, a gentleman. When it comes to anyone of the feminine gender, he is very courteous. Only when they breach his comfort zone does he even snap.
As you might've guessed, Kinam is not one to get angry. Around bullies, he is a bit different, though most time he appears almost emotionless. He doesn't believe that anger or hatred is going to solve anything; just as he refuses to think that if everyone loved everybody that the world's problems would be solved.
History: Kinam was born the oldest child out of seven to irresponsible parents. Thus, he took charge of caring for his younger siblings, five of which were girls. While his parents wandered around the Hold, looking for anyone who would give them a place to sleep, eat, and drink, Kinam cared for each of his siblings. By the time he was thirteen, Kinam was the head of the family, a father to his brothers and sisters. His parents had started wandering farther out, trying to find someone who hadn't heard about them to care for them. The only time their children saw them was when they made one of many promises to sober up and be the parents the children had always wanted.
During these times, Kinam was forced to act more for his siblings than at any other time. His mother and father were both verbally abusive, though they never touched a single one of their children thanks to Kinam. The last time Kinam saw them, he was sixteen. They had, ever since the children had been on their own, sent marks to keep their children afloat, most of it assumedly stolen. When the money flow stopped, the teenager got a job working with runners and herdbeasts, something he proved to have quite the talent for. His earnings combined with that of his siblings kept them all afloat.
Due to the careful verbal lashings of his parents, Kinam had learned not to show emotion or even much feel it. The people around him began getting skittish, afraid that he was going to harm someone.
When he was seventeen, a man made a move on his oldest sister, which Kinam thought inappropriate. He broke the man's arm. His parents had apparently promised marriages to their daughters in exchange for their wants. Kinam was furious. He went to the Lord Holder and demanded that his sisters be set free, but when the Lord shrugged him off, Kinam took matters into his own hands.
His Searching came about when a bluerider from Sevaira landed in the Hold, and he was immediately singled out as potential. When offered, he declined, stating that he had other business. When told that he might be causing the death of part of his soul, Kinam shrugged and replied that he had other parts of his soul in danger at the moment as well.
He cleared matters up with many broken bones and deathly promises. When he was nineteen, the rider returned, and he left his siblings in the care of a new family who promised to be the best they could. He stood at the next clutch and was passed up, but remained at the Weyr, receiving letters from his oldest sister Naviri, who constantly assures him that everything is fine.
