Physical Description of Persona:
One look at Derwill will give you a good clue of what kind of person he is. His hair has turned to a silvery white and has a fuzzy quality to it. He doesn't cut it regularly and as a result it spikes up everywhere as some kind of disorderly white halo. His face is wrought with wrinkles and is very expressive. While most may think his brown eyes to have a bit of a crazed look about them, those who know Derwill better will know them be a mirror of his intense curiosity. In tune with his disorderly hair he sports a most unusual style of dress. Derwill really does throw on whatever he comes across first in the morning and the result is usually the most curious of combinations. His outfit is then completed with one of the ridiculously long and brightly coloured scarves his sister sends him every so often. So what does all this spell out for his personality? Indeed: chaos!
Emotional Description of Persona:
If Derwill wasn't so intelligent, you would absolutely have to call him a lunatic. Derwill´s primary drive in life is his intense curiosity and the need to discover and invent new things. There is always something new to be thought up, sketched and experimented with. In this never ending search for novelties, Derwill can come off to strangers as totally random and simply quite mad. His creativity knows no bounds and thus his experiments may at times lead to big failures, but Derwill is never one to regret those. Any mistake is a learning experience, after all, so no need to mope. While his craft is his life, Derwill does truly care about those around him and anyone willing to look past his oddities will find a kindhearted and lovable man inside. This loving side of him shines through the most in his deep devotion to his canine Odi.
History of Persona:
If Derwill had been born any place else, to other people, he might not have turned out as he is today. Both his parents were Technicians and all of the Southern Technician Hall was his home as he grew up. From a young age, he watched his parents at work in awe and wonder, kicking and screaming whenever he was carried of by his older sister to more child-friendly surroundings. His family was tight knit and his childhood pleasant. It was no surprise to anyone that he apprenticed to the Technician Craft as soon as he turned twelve. With his quick mind, he astonished his superiors, but his curiosity and experimental nature drove them mad at times. Derwill was a dreamy young man and had trouble keeping with any kind of schedule the Hall had to offer him. As a result, he took his time advancing through the ranks. Once he finally obtained the rank of Senior Journeyman, Derwill knew he would never advance any further, nor did he have any desire to. He would much rather be left to his own experiments than bend over backwards to obtain his Mastery. With his inventions Derwill contributed just enough to his Craft to be left alone, but his chaotic lifestyle often raised resistance. As a result of these frictions, Derwill has moved around from place to place quite a lot. Eventually, he broke with the Technician's Hall, feeling it was only holding him back. He found himself a position at Dragonsfall Weyr and can only wonder how long they will put up with him there.
Pets
Odi, Canine: aged 10, born m10 d3
Odi is a medium-sized sturdy canine. His muzzle is neither very short nor very long and has floppy, droopy lips hanging from it. His reddish-brown coat is wavy with feathering on his chest, abdomen and down the back of his legs. His big floppy ears are heavily feathered as well. He has a long, wavy tail flying like a banner of hair behind him.
Odi is a very active, playful and amusing canine. With his ever wagging tail and gentle and friendly nature, it will be hard for anyone to resist this lovable hunk of sweetness. He is utterly devoted to his master and has been Derwill's most trustworthy companion since he first came into the technician's life.
