NAME: Sven Drake
ALIAS:None.
AGE: 20
GENDER: Male
STANDING: Traveling Dragonologist (Outsider)
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight.
LIKES:
DISLIKES:
STRENGTHS:
WEAKNESSES:
FEARS:
AMBITIONS: He wants to become a world leading Dragonologist, and visit all over the world.
SECRETS:
PERSONALITY: Sven is a quiet guy that enjoys spending time by himself. He has an artistic mind and often has his head in the clouds. Among people he is kind but doesn't want to make friends since most of the time his stays in places are temporary. When situations get tense sometimes Sven can become emotionally volatile depending on the circumstance. He is very kind towards people and is always very open-minded and encouraging.
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: He has long messy blonde hair (think blonde surfer dude but very messy), a somewhat rounded face with green eyes. He has broad shoulders. He has a grey-blue coat with white zips and white bands on the elbows. He wears Khaki/ligtht brown padded cargo pants (in the event of saddle sores).
HISTORY: Sven was brought up on Red Rock with his family. He was well educated and had a natural curiosity for the world. Everything was perfect - during his teenage years he met Kari, who would be the love of his life.
Until she got sick. At first, it seemed just like a flu, and most people paid no mind of it and carried on their daily activities until she would get better. But that didn't happen. Overnight her illness seemed to get worse and worse, and with Sven learning the ropes of his new career he didn't have the time to see her. It was only on the weekend when he came in from the hills and realised how frail and sickly she was. He spent the night with her, and it would be her last.
Bereaved and heartbroken, Sven became deeply depressed, and resorted to drink. It would be several more months before he could be able to work once more, but even then he was deeply distraught. His curiosity slowly came back to him when rumours told that a strange gryphon-like dragon had made it's home in a not far from the village.
One day, he was out on a walk in the mountains when he found Hermes resting in said cave, which began his interest for dragons and his desire to study them. His repeated returns to her resting place inspired curiosity into the dragon, and began to tolerate the human more and more, until they soon became good friends. Sebastian had a saddle made for her to be ridden that was attached by harness. As Hermes is a nomadic dragon, this proved useful as Sebastian travelled along with her, and was able to see and study more dragons, as well as visit places in the world.
It was through Dragonology that Sven managed to move on, but thinking back to the scarring incident would often give him a brief moment. Sometimes Hermes would allow him to visit home, but now he can't help but feel there are too many strings attached to his home town related to his past, and now actively avoids it.
They come across Berk, which is literally teeming with dragons, so Sven is going to be here for a while until he's studied all the dragons around here well.
PARENTS, FRIENDS, OTHER FAMILY: He has a mother and father, still living in their town in foreign lands. He is friends with several dragons he has met along his journeys, but is best friends with his companion Hermes.
WEAPON OF CHOICE:Since adapting to Viking life, Sven only carries a small fragile knife made from one of Hermes' scales.
DRAGON NAME: Hermes
DRAGON TYPE: Ambassador (Custom Dragon) Goes in the Sky category. It is about the size of a large thoroughbred, with black scales that shine tints of colour in the light, colours different with each dragon. Hermes has a dark blue tint to her scales.
DRAGON PERSONALITY: She's very calm and level headed. She is very independent and prefers to do things on her own, but still accepts the company of others. Hermes rarely gets into fights with other dragons, as a defining trait of their species, they prefer diplomacy. She isn't afraid to speak her mind - and often comes off as a jerk because of it. She often doesn't mean to offend and is for the most part genuinely friendly, and can be really concerned when Sven isn't acting his usual self, and will do anything to fix the problem.
DRAGON TECHNIQUES: These dragons have stamina, as they are a nomadic species, so will spend long hours on the wing to find a new temporary home. This dragon's fire is incredibly pitiful - the maximum range of it's fire is of at most 5 metres. It's scales work in the same way as feathers do, so it can 'puff' itself up to appear bigger when feeling threatened or aggressive. Ambassadors have a fine-tuned flight system, that lets them do almost anything in the air - their scales can shift subconsciously (much like the muscles in our feet that keep us standing) to perform almost impossible maneuvers.

OOC NAME TO CALL YOU BY: Redkitebait
YEARS OF RP EXPERIENCE:Not much, probably about 6 months? :s
RP EXAMPLE OF THE CHARACTER YOU'RE APPLYING FOR:If this is to judge what my character's like then i hope this is what you're looking for:
Sebastian and Hermes were drifting lazily through the sky. The seas had been endless for some time, so there wasn't much to do nor much to see. The sun was bearing down on the duo, but thankfully the wind rippling past them was gradually becoming cooler.
Hermes snorted, waking Sebastian up from his daze. "You're going to love this." She said blandly. As Sebastian peered from behind the dragon's head, they could see a small colony of islands below. It was a pretty sight in the sun with blue waters twinkling around it's borders.
Hermes began to descend, upon where they spotted a village; first noticed by the trails of smoke rising from the chimneys, then by the masses of dragons that seemed to be working alongside humans.
"Hermes, this is amazing!" Sebastian cried over the winds. He couldn't wait to get down there, get his notebook and start scribbling as much as he could.
"You wanted dragons, I'm giving you dragons." Hermes explained, emitting a chuckle at the human's enthusiasm.
