Eoin

[Eoin]

Race: Human (Inarta) Birthday & Age: Early Winter 493 AV, 22 years old Gender: Male Crowned with short, copper red hair, Eoin's sturdy frame stands at an average height of 5'8. Hearty like his people, he has a solid build and compact muscles that particularly visible, but even so, he possesses a surprising amount of strength. His hands, the tools of his trade, are decorated with subtle, minor burns and scratches from mistakes made as an apprentice chef. He walks with a smooth gait and slow swinging arms, with moss green eyes holding a straightforward gaze. In general, his style of dress is best described as simple, with colours in elegant earth tones. Practical and hardworking, Eoin enjoys keeping himself busy and can often work himself to exhaustion if he isn't careful. As a perfectionist at heart, it was inevitable for the once irritable Yasi to develop patience. After entering the Avora caste and restricting his attention to the culinary arts, he has since grown calm and tolerant, no longer fazed by malicious gossip. However, when he is pushed to the limit, Eoin becomes cold and unreasonable, and can explode from the smallest bother. Organized and methodical, his possessions are almost always arranged carefully and sensibly, and the same can be said with his appearance. Very few having seen him disheveled or unkept, for he is rarely ill prepared. Eoin can be stubborn at times, be it in admittance of his mistakes or changing his mind, he simply will not budge once a decision has been made. Those close to him may be able to sway the seemingly immovable force of his will, but even they encounter countless frustrations in the process. Despite his logic oriented mindset, Eoin has an eye for beauty, often choosing timeless pieces to decorate his person or home. He is modest, yet ambitious, passionate in achieving his dreams and in love. Only a few weeks after his birth, the responsibility of raising Eoin was quickly passed over to the nurseries. He was raised by an aged Chiet woman, a short spitfire Inartan who was exceptionally strict with the Yasis. In the past,he also worked frequent Bendis as many had recognized his work ethic and would repeatedly call for his services. It was rare to not see the bright haired boy running around fulfilling errands and delivering messages. A few Avoras came to remember him as well, particularly as the he approached his fifteenth year. Fortunately, one of which was a chef of the Communal Kitchens who took the young aspiring chef under his wing, elevating his status to that of an Avora. In this way, Eoin was able to better provide for his family, his mother having been found through years of searching. Despite the Inartan culture's lack of family structures, the boy holds his mother dear, though the same could not be said for her. A woman deprived of sanity and sense, she does not even recognize the man as her flesh and blood. Nevertheless, he continues to provide for her, whether it'd be in pinions or in services. Eoin also has a sister, Noelle, but her current whereabouts are unknown. Secret : Eoin's mother, Anya (pictured on the left in her prime) was a leading example of what an Inartan should and could be. She was witty and charismatic, quick to smile and fiercely protective. One can see the resemblance between mother and son through their green eyes and determined gaze. Unfortunately he did not inherit her crimson hair, his own a constant reminder of his unspoken sire. By the time he found her, Anya's mental illness entered a detrimental state: sudden bouts of swearing, unnerving silence and animalistic behaviour. Expectedly, she landed in the Dek caste soon after. She remains motivated by food and survival alone (perhaps the latter ingrained in her through Inartan teachings) and still functions enough to work. Currently, she does the work no Dek wants: cleaning the latrines. Some, having seen her burnt hand, charred to a crisp black, have come to call her the "One Handed Witch". Yasis, Endals, and sometimes Deks alike enjoy playing degrading games of fetch with her, but more commonly, she is a common target for harassment due to her putrid stench and eroding appearance. Noelle, Eoin's sister (pictured on the right), was a hard to approach woman with good intentions, and possessed her mother's mastery over wordplay, though often made enemies rather than friends with them. Insecurity and a critical tongue isolated the girl, but once Eoin had found her, she grew dependent on his kindness. However, Noelle had always found difficulty in expressing herself, and thus, always had the most to say about Eoin's flaws despite her love for him. Her brother did not mind her constant badgering, for they understood about each other than anyone else in their respective lives. Even so, Eoin was often surprised by her unpredictable behaviour, while she on the other hand, could read the very thoughts from his mind. Her hair is a similar shade to their mother's dark red, her eyes a dark cerulean, that shares the same steady gaze as the rest of her kin.   Fois Endal I worked with him when we were both Yasis during a Bendi before, and met again much later through a misunderstanding. He is still as arrogant and proud as ever, but I can't help but feel the same envy I did as a boy, no matter how much he irritates me.   Aidara Endal An attractive and genial woman I met at Inclement Weather who also works as a healer at the Infirmary. Her personality is so infectious that even I feel her influence. She is interesting to be around, but I would not want to keep her constant company. Her status still makes me anxious, even if she often forgets the difference of our castes.   Vala Chiet A young "thief" that resembles Noelle with her strange temperament and seemingly random emotional outbursts. She is hardworking and has the potential to be of higher caste. Somehow, I always end up apologizing to her.   Rista Yasi We were both buying the same book when we first met, and through some miscommunication, she slapped me in public. I caused her much greater harm, and though she has forgiven me, I feel undeserving of her offer for friendship. Her family situation seems to echo mine, and because of that and her youth, I feel connected and protective of her.   Laute No image Zith A mysterious creature I encountered in a violent nightmare.

[Eoin]

Extra Information (WIP) General Information : 1. What is your Name? Eoin. 2. Do you go by a nickname or pet name? No. No one has given me one. 3. How old are you? 19. 4. What is your height? 5'8" 5. What is your weight? Around 150lb. Aesthetics : 1. Describe yourself as you see yourself. Hard worker, sincere, disciplined. I can be stubborn but I'm slow to anger. Very little annoys me unless I'm already agitated. I'm proud but I don't show it often, for I prefer modesty. 2. Describe yourself as others typically see you. They say I live a simple life and that I work too hard. Some say that I have no tact and have hurt them unintentionally. Others say that I'm just dull. 3. What is your favorite body feature? Erm..I suppose my eyes or my neck? Others have commented on the two. 4. How physically fit are you? I am not very fit since my job does not require a high level of physical fitness. I do run around the kitchens to finish meals and stand on my feet almost all day though. 5. How do you typically dress and what is your style? A rich brown bryda and boots, sometimes a green scarf in the colder months. I like simplicity. Family : 1. Who are your parents and what are they like? I never knew my father. My mother is mentally ill. They say I'm just like her...but she was more charismatic. That was before my birth, afterwards she began to deteriorate in health. 2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? ...I have a sister, Noelle. 3. What is your extended family like? My mother has no family other than her twin sister. No one knows where she is at the moment. Her profession is in trades. 4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family? I have no close friends, but I'd imagine that I treat them with equal importance. 5. Do you treat animals like family? I do, especially my first pet, a magpie named Ataxia. I used to pretend she was my Wind Eagle when I was little. Location : 1. Where were you born? Wind Reach. 2. Where do you live now? Wind Reach. 3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be? Aside from here, I guess the Konti Isles would be a safe choice. They have exceptional chefs there as well. Perhaps I could gain culinary knowledge there. 4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time? I have never left Wind Reach, so I guess it would be the baths. The Dreaming Lady seems interesting, but I have yet to try it. I like to paint landscapes, go on hikes, practice archery and read when I have time. 5. Where do you fear to be? Outside of Wind Reach and being lost deep in the inner warrens. Anywhere unknown or where I have no control over. Traits : 1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?) None, but I have a few minor burns and scars on my hands from when I first began cooking. They aren't very noticeable. 2. Are you right handed or left handed? Left. 3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent? I am fluent in Nari, my first language. My Common is conversational but I speak slowly to make sure I don't say anything wrong. The sounds are short and choppy because I am used to speaking Nari. I learned some Lhavitian words from passing travelers, but I've forgotten the correct pronunciation for most. 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Not that I'm aware of, no. 5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them) ? I never saw the need or had the want to get either. Occupations : 1. What is your occupation? Assistant chef. 2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why? I love my work. It gives me a chance to create and serve the citizens of Wind Reach directly. I was always interested in cuisine, so it was a natural step. Chef Davoid is my inspiration, her perseverance drives me to do better. I hope to reach her level some day. 3. If you could be anything you wanted to, what would you be? An owner of a small, well-loved restaurant. Meals from around the world would be served for a modest price. I would run it with my family and pass ownership to one of my children when my time nears. But that is only a wish, it won't happen in a city like Wind Reach. 4. What occupation do you admire the most? Why? The Endals were my heroes when I was younger, but I still admire their bond with the Wind Eagles. To be so open with another is true bravery. 5. What occupation do you lest like? Why? The drudges' tasks. They serve a purpose but they are harassed while doing their job. I can't imagine a life like that. Childhood : 1. What sort of child were you? I was always agitated and hungry, I remember that clearly. I was much more imaginative and would play pretend games by myself all day. I was also more competitive and prone to jealousy, mostly with other male Yasis. 2. What is your favorite memory from childhood? 3. What is your worst memory from childhood? 4. What sort of relationship did you have with your parents? I have none with my father. With my mother, I've only recently reconnected with her. She didn't believe I was her son at first, and I don't think her opinion changed since then. Eventually she began to at least trust me, but that changed when she had the accident. We don't have much of a relationship now with her declining health. 5. Who was your most influential rolemodel? Education : 1. What sort of education do you have? The same education as the other Yasis like wilderness survival. I learned cooking as an apprentice of Chef Davoid and am at a competent level. 2. Do you like/dislike learning? I enjoy learning, but taboo subjects do not interest me. 3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities? From the my Bendis and my apprenticeship. 4. How do you learn best? Through reading and imitation. 5. What are your educational goals for the future? I hope to master my culinary and medicinal skills, and gain competence in painting and hunting. Relationships : 1. Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not? Eventually. I am slow to open up to others but I enjoy close bonds. 2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not? Not really, they will have to earn that through time. I do give people the benefit of the doubt. 3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Straight. 4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. 5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. I don't feel inclined to share. Drugs and Alcohol : 1. Have you ever been drunk? If so, describe your first time. 2. Do you like to drink on a regular basis? 3. What sort of alcohol do you prefer? 4. Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them? 5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific. Likes and Dislikes : 1. What are your hobbies? 2. Do you like to read? Yes, I enjoy it. 3. What annoys you more than anything else? Egotistical behaviour. 4. What do you find the most relaxing activity to do? 5. What kinds of things embarrass you? Why? Favorites : 1. What is your favorite color or colors? Green and brown. 2. What is your favorite time of day? 3. What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? 4. What do you like to eat? What do you hate to eat? Gourmet, any dish where the cook has put in noticeable effort. And spiced food. I hate plain and sour meals. 5. What is your favorite type of weather? Does any kind scare you? Outlook : 1. Are you optimistic or pessimistic? Neither. 2. What are your religious views? 3. Would you be able to kill? 4. What are your views on sex? It should be an expression of love and not momentary lust. 5. What, in your opinion, makes a successful life? Achieving your goals while living as happily and comfortably as possible. Actions : 1. What is the worst and best thing you’ve ever done? 2. What is your greatest regret? 3. What is your best/worst memory? 4. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be and why? To have trusted in Noelle. 5. What are you the most proud of doing in your life? Emotions : 1. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings with others? 2. Do you have any biases or prejudices? 3. What makes you happy? 4. Who or what, if anything, would you die for? 5. What makes you angry? Relationships : 1. In general, how do you treat others? 2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? 3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Chef Davoid. She is an amazing chef and a hardworker. 4. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If not, describe an ideal lover. I don't have an ideal. If I love her, then I do. 5. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why Group Situations : 1. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? I avoid them if I can, but I will defend my opinions. 2. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? 3. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? 4. Do you care what others think of you? 5. What do you think of others, in general? Self Image : 1.
