NAME: Mitch the Sly
ALIAS: Mitch
AGE: 16
GENDER: Male
STANDING: Viking-In-Training
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight
LIKES:
Mitchell is not like most guys. While most guys would have girls on their minds, he has his dragon first. Second would be family. With girls coming in third or further down the list. With that said, he loves his dragon Night because they have helped each other through many a situations. Getting out of the house for one and just having someone to talk to. Family comes second or tied with first because of how close he and his sister are. Most siblings would not be as close as they are, but they always have each other’s back. With a second thought, he would put training above girls because he likes to believe that you should always be prepared for the worst of a situation. Of course girls fit in that list somewhere but it changes given the day, time, or girl he talks to.
DISLIKES:
Mitchell hates it when his sister becomes to overprotective, though of course he knows that it isn't really her fault, he can't help but get mad at her sometimes because of it. He doesn't like the fact that his parents died in a fishing trip. Heights. It's odd, he doesn't care if he is flying, but if he is up on a high ledge or somewhere else far off the ground he loses it. If he is on dragon back though, he is nonchalant. Fighting with his sister really gets to him. He can be really cool one minute with fighting, but if it gets worse than verbal, he just wants it all to stop. One thing that sets him apart from his sister: conflict. He hates it.
STRENGTHS:
Mitch believes that his strengths rely within his friends and family. With that being said, he thinks most of his strength comes from the fact the he knows his sister is just trying her hardest to make sure they both end up safe. He also thinks that he is pretty fast though not near as fast as his sister. Mitch doesn't realize it yet, but his sword gives him added strength. His dad had given him the blade for his 12th birthday and it had made him build up strength year by year. It makes him strike faster in battles, and defend faster. His dragon gives him strength in the sky when they are fighting, since he knows his dragon is trying so hard for him.
WEAKNESSES:
Mitch likes to think he has no weaknesses. Truth is he has many. But, only a few would make him incapable to do anything at all. If he was to watch his sister or dragon get hurt, he would fall to his knees pleading to do whatever the person hurting them wanted. Another would be his personality to jump into whatever action lay before him, no matter how stupid or selfish it would seem. He has had a weakness towards anyone bringing up his past about his parents. Even if someone as much as brings up something about past relationships, he shuts up like a zipper and refuses to talk. He hates what happened in the past and he hope and wishes that it never happens again. He just wouldn't know what to do if it happened again.
FEARS:
Just like weaknesses Mitch likes to think he has no fears. But of course the teen does. In his mind he replays the last night of his sister telling him their parents had passed. He believes that whoever he becomes close to will die in some terrible way. He also fears losing his sister at anytime. His dragon would be another thing that he fears losing. At the beginning he did fear his dragon and was scared of the possibility of flying but now he is chill with it. He does have a slight fear of heights and one of thunderstorms ever since his sister got hurt flying in one. If he were to lose his sword he wouldn't know what to do with himself. Apart from all that he has the minimal fears of getting himself hurt and getting to close to another girl. When he had his first girlfriend, they went out to a cliff at night. A fight happened and she ran away. No one ever saw her again. He thinks it was his fault and he fears that it will happen again if he gets too close to a girl.
AMBITIONS:
One of Mitch's main ambitions is to get over his fear of heights. It severs him greatly whenever they I've to walk by an area that has ground way below it. He really wants to become better at swordsmanship and fighting when you are on the back of your dragon. Yeah he is good but he thinks he can become way better.
SECRETS:
Mitch secretly sneaks off in the middle of the night and just sits by the water. He thinks that the water clams him down. So whenever he is near it, he wakes up and walks over to it. Other secrets are just the normal; he used to be afraid of the dark. Luckily he got over that years ago. Though he does have those moments when it slowly seeps back in. This is usually when he is alone with no one in the dark.
PERSONALITY:
Mitch's personality changes dramatically given the day. Most of the time you can find Mitch to be a charming 16-year-old. He has a very respective personality around adults or people who are older than him and wiser than him. If he is around teachers or superiors, it would take a lot of pushing and struggling to get him to do something bad to them. If you were not in front of adults and you wanted a prank done, Mitch is the one to find. He is the ultimate prankster; he always is pulling pranks on other teens. He is most famous for his pranks that get others in serious trouble.
Mitch can be very nice to his sister and dragons. It is rare to see Mitch and his sister do more than just argue for a couple minutes. If you get on his bad side, watch out. He can be extremely mean. Mainly just around people he hated will he show this aggravated difference of personality. He is an ok liar that gets caught almost half of the time. When he is around people he is unsure of everything he says sounds forced and unsure. People he knows will notice that he is a little talker who takes a lot of saying ok or shut ups to get to stop talking.
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
(What he wears everyday: www.polyvore.com/mitch_everyday/set?id=36864483)
Mitch is just like every average 16 year old. He looks gangly but really isn't. He is pretty strong for how skinny he looks. His dark brown hair falls short, just below his ears really. His eyes are a blue/green color. He is almost always seen with a little smirk on his face. If you see a full smile, be glad, that means that he really counts you his friend. His skin has a light tan to it. He is about 5'8" and weighs around 150. Some might say that he has a knowing face. One that seems to know more than what he actually knows. This is partly true.
Mitch can be seen wearing darker clothing. Whether it is just because he wants to blend in more with his dragon or just because he likes darker clothes, no one really knows. His pants usually have a dark gray to black color. He will wear a belt a lot but not when he is riding. His shirts are usually gray and look like they fit kind of tight. This is not the case. A jacket covers his body when it is cold. He will wear a necklace given to him by his dad. It had been passed down in the generations for a very long time. Just like his sister, he will wear leather gloves when he rides. Sometimes he will even wear a leather jacket or leather pants.
HISTORY:
Mitch was born almost one year after Summer. While Summer had had the full attention, now it was 75/25...the 75 being put towards him. It wasn't really his fault or his parents. They tried to give her equal attention but it was harder with Mitch's personality. Mitch wanted to always be in the middle pf everything. When his parents would be talking or playing with Summer he would always want to be in the middle doing it to.
As he grew up, he started doing things that would make people laugh. At one time, Summer dressed him up as a girl and he ran around the house like that. His mom and had had done nothing but laugh because they thought it was hilarious. Ever since that day he tries to make people laugh. Even going as far to prank people, though he tries not to hurt people when he does sometimes it happens.
When he was 5 years old he was able to start following after his sister. He would watch as she went up to a lot of the dragons in the village. Slowly, within a couple months he would start doing the same with her. Their parents realized that their kids had a special connection with dragons. Even the fiercest of ones. Within months he was running after his sister through the village. He loved seeing Asther's dragon even though he never went up to pet the Night Fury, he would stare at it from afar.
When he turned 10 his parents entered him into the Viking-In-Training program. Right away he started watching his sister. He tried the bow and arrow first since that was what his sister used. After a couple tries with the bow, it could be seen that he did not have a future in archery. So he tried every other viking weapon until finally he found one. A sword, he absolutely loved how it felt like an extension of his arm when he would move it around. Excited he ran home to tell his parents.
He had been using a training blade until his 11th birthday. When he opened his present he picked up the black iron sword excitedly. It would be perfect for him to use when he got older and just heavy enough to be able to use now. He ran out of the house and into the forest where he could start hacking things up in safety. Of course Summer ran after him with her bow and arrows after the request of their parents.
The next year Summer went to go find her dragon. When she came out, Mitch was shocked to see a Monstrous Nightmare following her. But happily he ran up to it. He would ask her for days if there was a Night Fury and everyday his sister would answer no. He gave up all hope of ever getting a Night Fury within that year. He would go into the forest every night trying to find one, hoping that he would be successful in finding one but he never was.
Another year passed and it was his turn to get a dragon. But instead of going to where you could get an already tame dragon, he ran into the forest. He had taken one step in the area and realized he didn't want an already partially tame dragon. So, as he sat in the forest he thought and thought and thought about where he could possibly find a Night Fury. He was about a mile into the forest and it was starting to get dark when he felt like he was being watched. He stood up and called into the forest but with no answer. Worriedly he started trying to find his way back out but he couldn't, After an hour of walking it still felt like someone was watching him so he stopped and did a 360.
His eyes landed on a darker spot in the trees. He squinted trying to figure out what it was when the thing flew off. He dropped his shoulders and sighed. Not a few seconds later he was pushed to the ground as a Night Fury came and stood over him. Mitch's eyes widened in shock or fright he hardly remembered. But the Night Fury didn't attack him instead it let him onto his back and flew him outta the forest, almost like it knew he was lost. For months after that he would visit the Night Fury until it completely gained his trust. But when that happened a terrible things happened.
He had been at home waiting for his parents to show up for the annual fishing trip when his sister came in and told him the news. He had broken down into tears. He couldn't believe what had happened to their parents and for the longest time didn't want to believe. But after a year or so he finally realized Summer was right and they weren't coming back. Another year passed and Summer graduated from the Viking-In-Training program. This made Mitch want to work hard with Night so that he could graduate soon too.

RP EXAMPLE OF THE CHARACTER YOU'RE APPLYING FOR:
Mitch saw the boy and the dragon more clearly once they stepped out of the trees. Feeling bad since he might have been the one who startled the two, he stood up straight and pointed the sword at the ground. Seeing his owner stand up, Night copied him. His teeth sank back into his gums so he looked toothless. Night eyed the other dragon with curiosity. It had been a long while since he had seen one of these. Yes, they were common in Berk, but not where they were from. After a couple seconds Mitch sheathed the sword once again. He didn't find the boy that big of a threat since he seemed kind of frightened. Night looked from the dragon to the boy wondering what he had in his hand. His head tilted to the side with curiosity.
Mitch looked from dragon to boy hoping that he hadn't made a serious mistake by putting the sword away. He eyed the bag the boy was carrying, wondering what was inside it. "Sorry if I scared you guys. I'm just always on edge when it's quiet." His hand left hand stayed put on the hilt of his sword. His right hung at his side but not for long. Night walked up to his side and pushed his head against Mitch's hand. Mitch absentmindedly started to rub the dragons nose as he stood there. Then remembering that he still didn't know this kid, he shook his head and looked at the ground with a smile on his face. He looked back at the other boy and dragon and walked a couple steps to them.
When he got within hand-shaking distance, he held out his hand. "The names Mitch. Mitchell Frost. This guy over here is Night. Pretty easy to remember. What about you two?" He asked as he waited for the kid to shake or not shake his hand. He eyed the dragon as he was closer. He made movements that would surely not scare it. His turned his head slightly to see that Night had also walked forward. Night looked t the other dragon and opened his mouth to speak. It would sound like a slight easy growl to Mitch and the other human, but he hoped the dragon knew what he was saying. "My names Night. My human is Mitch. Who are you guys?"
The noises in the forest seemed to get slightly louder now that Mitch was talking to someone else. The sixteen year old looked around and noticed that a couple of small birds had flown to the nearby trees. His ears picked up the small tweets that they were making as they saw the two dragons. He still awaited the boy to speak. Though he looked younger than Mitch, he seemed like he was barely a year or two younger. Mitch didn't know what to think of the kid surviving on his own. Even if he was with a dragon, it was still dangerous. If Mitch didn't have his sister and their two dragons, he wouldn't know what they would have done about three years ago when they had needed to get off the island.
