Face Claim: Dylan O'Brien

Physical Description of Persona:
Sakor is… short. You notice that immediately about him since he is 5’4” where the average Pern male is 5’7”. Brown eyes. Disheveled brown hair. It is currently competing with a scrawny/patchy beard and something pretending to be a moustache.

But he’ll be heard before he is seen thanks to a very low voice (he’s a bass around E2). It is an unusual voice and tends to be easily noticed, more so when he yells.

Mine works builds a solid frame. Many people have made the mistake of thinking he is also weak. He is built of hard muscles as only 5+ years working in the mines can do. Because of his short stature and the muscle gain he is best described as midway between bulky and wiry (not bulging enough for one nor thin enough for the other). He does have a 6 pack but still has enough youthful belly fat to hide the rest.

He's learned early that fast and quick avoids danger in the mines, so he’s nimble instead of muscle bound.

He has a lot of scars, a couple on the chest and his back is full of them. To someone outside the craft they look like knife slashes but are the result of sliding to close to sharp stones. His back is full of them (as well as a couple of rope 'burn' from a runaway platform which to someone outside the craft would appear as whip marks).

While not energetic he needs an outlet for is youthful energy, something that is a not apparent with all his mine work, but he has had some sleepless nights when he could not exert himself.

Emotional Description of Persona:
A deep thinker given to periods of introspection. He’s dedicated and responsible (some would say overly dedicated and responsible).

He lacks worldly knowledge which sometimes shows when talking about events, people or regions. If you breach a topic that is knows little about, give him food he’s never tasted or show him something new he’ll harass you with the whole ‘how, when and where?’ of it. He’ll also turn into a chatterbox if you have mining questions.

He's far from squeamish, having seen his fair share of injuries (minor to gross) and even deaths in the mines.

Hilariously, he's a formidable dancer, a fact he seldom gets to enjoy.

While he is literate and as good handwriting, he’s not a fan of long letters (either reading or writing). Short and concise is more his style. He’s not the ‘read a good book’ type.

History of Persona:
Sakor grew up as the oldest of a family with 2 younger brothers and 4 sisters. His father (and 6 others) died in the mines from a rockfall when he had barely turned 11.

Like many miners’ widow, his mother she never partnered again and instead is often in the Hold making sure each mining shift gets fed and other various tasks for the community.

The oldest of his sister is apprenticed to the Healer Hall and one brother to the Vinter Hall. The rest of the family is too young to foster.

He was almost 12 when he started working in the White Hollow’s mines, much to his mother’s protests. All he has known is mining and related skills like rock climbing (because sometimes you mine from a cliff face) and geology although no knots.

For those in the know, White Hollow is ‘above the board’ in many things (i.e. unregulated) and the mines is where criminals work out their sentences although there is a civilian size. Because of that they tend to attract the daring, desperate or simply those seeking less restrictions.

He learned some very basic healing in the mine, mostly at the level necessary to stabilize a victim while taking him to the healer (i.e. that would be the equivalent of advanced first aid) but nothing that could be called real healing even at apprentice level.

He not only lost his father to the mines he’s also lost close friends, sometime while he was by their side. Mining is a very dangerous endeavour anywhere. While he did have some injuries and close calls, he has been relatively unscathed till now.

There is little that is exceptional aside from that. He never set foot far enough from the Mining Hall to get in trouble and only made friends with others of the community.
