name: Juzou
sex: male, but prob kind of on the genderqueer spectrum
age: 15, though he claims to be 18 and definitely looks that old
faceclaim: Lukas Jayden Satherley
origin: Ravager hoard run by Joa, gets plucked from the wilds by J'har
basic appearance:
-tan, tawny haired, tawny eyes, very rectangular kind of face with a big chin and wide nose
-has gapped teeth, and one or two missing in the back that got knocked out
-looks vaguely stupid? Has eyes that are always a little guarded and squinty, which are often mistaken for vacant.
-largeish, almost pouty-fishy lips, which highlight those gap teeth.
-exceptionally tall for his age, and alarmingly thin and gangly as a result. Lets him claim to be much older than he is.
-has some of the ravager markers on him - pierced ear, little dangling of gold, has a few of the deep keloid tattoos (rough blue swirls, on his upper chest, one on either side of each collarbone) marking him for the clan run by the lord Joa.
primary personality traits:
-as a born ravager he's used to making himself Bigger - he can be apparently violent and ready to raise blood, but 98% of the time it's a feint. He speaks the language of a ravager which is mostly silence, cooperation, and a mild threat of violence. Tamer life is alien to him.
-what the fuck are are hot baths??? He thinks most domestic things (hot baths, soft towels, constantly clean clothes) are alien and Weird.
-too clever for his own good. He's great at hiding it, and puts on an illusion of being a gangly stupid teenager, but his cleverness still manages to get him into trouble, although it gets him into the kind of trouble that makes him out to be just a bumbling idiot. ex: he tracks down a small scavenger clan that his people can take easily, but he finds them while he was searching for fire lizard eggs that only he knows how to find (hears 'whispers'), pretends to stumble into their site and 'get rescued' by his people who take all of their goods. His plan the whole time, but everyone's like 'that fucking boy'.
-low standards. Has no expectation for good food, good clothes, romance, anything, and it's never occurred to him to want those things. Among a ravager hoard, you can keep what you can protect, and you can take what you can earn, and as a kid (and a 'stupid' one) he's never had access to the Finer Things.
-quiet, observant. Surprises people when he says something that exhibits his absolute understanding and quick wit. He usually only pulls that out in emergencies.
-Juzou finds that 'playing dumb', or rather letting people assume his simpleness, gets him through life more easily, and so he rolls with it.
-could be an exceptional rider/scholar/leader/crafter/etc if he had the right steering and an interest for it--right now he's really too young and inexperienced in the world to prove himself as anything special, despite his many gifts and interesting traits.
-Kind of a 'why should I?' guy. Not because he's lazy or being difficult, he just honestly wants to know why should he? What are the reasons for doing things? Why? What's up?
relevant history: His mother abandoned one of the holds when she was pregnant with him, with his father. They met and joined a ravager hoard during the early days of its formation. His father died shortly after, of sickness, and his mother took up with another man among the hoard, who protected her and her son after he was born. Juzou was always told he was the spitting image of his father.
Juzou grew up in the hoard. His mother gradually drifted away, disappearing for good when Juzou was around 10 or 11, though that wasn't terribly uncommon among the fluctuating relationships and communal, drifting lifestyle of the ravagers. When he hit puberty he was made to undergo various ravager Provings, including a period of fasting away from the hoard, and ultimately receiving the deep keloid tattoos that marked him as a member of the clan.
He was always well-liked and well cared for, probably because he was a dopey kind-hearted kid, and because a lot of his people thought that he couldn't possibly take care of himself. By the time of him meeting J'har he is considered an adult Ravager despite his youth.
relevant views on current events: He is very very confused. He knows absolutely nothing of the climate of the Holds and the Weyrs, except what he's managed to get from rumors and stories from holders that have recently abandoned their homes. He knows there is a conflict, but as a ravager, he and his people have distanced themselves from it a great deal. He has never seen a dragon up close, only heard often horrific stories. Once as a child he climbed a tree to see three dragons wayyy in the distance and that was basically the highlight of his life.
ambitions: Well if he understood anything I'm sure he would love to be a dragonrider, he can already Hear All Dragons (though he hasn't had much of an opportunity to flex that muscle) and he definitely leans towards the academic. His steel core of having a Ravager upbringing also lends itself towards some kind of power, but as he's unaware of the possibility of power, he doesn't yet seek it.
other:
-He can hear all dragons, which is an exceptionally rare and unusual trait. Along with that gift, he has some telepathy, which he uses mostly subconsciously to sense other people, their intentions, and subtly affect their behavior towards him. This is part of how he draws a veil of stupidity over himself, so he's overlooked.
-Because of his telepathic gifts, he's able to hear the 'whispers' of fire lizards and know where they lay their eggs. He befriended wild fire lizards in his youth. He occasionally 'oops I found this' brought a clutch of fire lizard eggs to his people to be bartered by Joa - fire lizard eggs are like gold in their rarity.
-The friendly fire lizards allowed Juzou to attend their hatchings, and as a result he Impressed a handful of them.
-Fire lizards are: A gold he named Toothy (for obvious reasons), a bronze he named Snout (because he likes to stick his snout in his ear), a brown he named Loudmouth (for obvious reasons), and a blue he named Cram (because he can wiggle into tiny spaces, like hiding inside Juzou's clothes).
