Common Knowledge:
It is well known that Kyo has a bad
disposition. He swears a lot, and doesn't get along well with
others. His social skills are not well developed, but he is very
intelligent. He is also handsome, which might make girls more likely
to be nice to him at first. He never knows what to say, and is
always angry so he doesn't seem approachable. Only time will tell if
this can change.

Physical Description:
Kyo stands
5'11" and is about 140 pounds. He was much thinner upon coming
from High Reaches Hold, but he gained a lot of weight with a proper diet.
He has haphazardly cut orange-auburn hair. He has light brown eyes
that always seem to contain a deep seething hatred. His build is
developing into a slim but muscular one, though his muscles carry the
softness of youth. He is only truly suited for hard labor at the
moment, hence why he is developing so. His face is handsome, if you
disregard the scowl he always wears. He never smiles, he always
looks like an abused cat that is waiting to get kicked. He wears
simple, hand me down clothing. Over his body are many scars and
healing scrapes and cuts. It is very clear he wasn't treated very
well, and was also beaten and given lashes for some crime or another.
On his left arm he wears a beaded bracelet, it used to belong to his
mother. What he doesn't know is that the bracelet was a gift to his
mother from his father.
Personality:
The first thing one notices about Kyo
is that he is constantly angry. Most of the time it is a quiet
smothering anger, but it can get out of hand when a person goads him.
He has little self-control in that area. He swears a lot, and that
doesn't seem to be a quality that is going to change anytime soon.
He has a problem with authority, though being a drudge all his life has
taught him to do as he is told regardless, and even though he complains he
will most likely end up doing a task he is given. He doesn't feel he
can trust anyone, none have been especially kind to him so he thinks there
has to be a motive behind such an act. He will fight if confront,
not liking to stand down. He is very defensive and stupid in a
pinch. he never knows the right things to say so often makes things
worse. He has a habit of running away when things overwhelm him.
He can read, the
harpers taught him like they did all the children of the Hold. He
loved his time with the harpers and is a very intelligent young man.
He was only born into the role of a drudge because of the stigma
surrounding him after all.
The internal aspect of
his personality is consumed by his mother, and why she chose to kill
herself. He can only identify his father as a 'dragonrider' so he
carries a dislike for all dragonriders, but he is old enough to keep this
feeling in check. Knowing logically they can't all be the way.
As much as he blames his father for his mother, he blames himself that
much more. Why wasn't he enough for his mother to live for?
Was pain all he cause her? He is certain it is this pain that
overwhelmed his mother. Perhaps all his mistreatment was what he
deserved for what he had done to his mother. He still wishes that
his mother would have chosen to live, to help protect him from the rest of
the hold. To show him a sliver of kindess.
He vows to be stronger
then his mother, and choose to live no matter what is thrown at him.
History: Kyo was born at High
Reaches Hold to a mother who had let a 'vile dragonrider' take advantage
of her. Remember at this point in time dragonriders were the most
hated being on the planet. They were responsible for the plague,
every on on the planet had lost a loved one to the plague. High
Reaches Hold is a place very concious of honor, and who is a dishonor to
the hold. Nysisa, Kyo's mother, and her son were treated as pariahs;
the untouchables in the Hold. She was forced into being a drudge and
her name was replaced by the nickname twitchskirt. She long believed
that her dragonrider would come back to her, that he would save her.
After six years she realized that her dragonrider was never going to come
for her. There was no hope for her. Rather then live the rest
of her life in shame and torment, she decides to take her own life;
leaving Kyo to endure the torment on his own.
Ten more Turns pass,
and Kyo lived the life of the pariah alone. The hold thought it a
kindess that they continued to keep a roof over his head, and he worked
hard to keep his home. He was blamed for everything the went wrong.
And so he was punished a lot. Most of High Reaches punishments are
physical, their favorite being a set number of lashes from a herdbeast
whip. The day Perone showed up on Search, she was spotted a good
time before she landed. It was enough time for Lord Holder Jensen to
have the 'piece of filth' brought out and thrust upon the incoming rider.
For the first time, he
was dependant on the kindess of a stranger. He had received so
little kindess in the past he had no right to expect it from anyone.
But he was surprised by Perone's manner, and her easy going acceptance of
him into the Weyr. Weyrlife was better then being holdless after
all, being an exile might have been what he deserved; but he still didn't
want it. Deep down, he wasnted to give Last Hope a try; since it was
where unwanted things went to become wanted.
