Name: Maylonn
Age: 22
Rank: Journeyman Harper
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Hetero. ...Mostly.
Looks: Maylonn does not look healthy. He's ridiculously tall and even more ridiculously thin, to the point that the more sympathetic of the random people he encounters sometimes try to push food off on him. His excuse is that he's a growing boy, wink wink nod nod, even though his appearance hasn't changed much since he was 16.
He's also generally quite unkempt. He has very long, pale blond hair, only ever tied back nominally, he forgets to shave sometimes, and his clothes usually look as though they've been recently slept in. His eyes are pale gray and have an abstract look about them. His posture is also awful. He's fairly handsome of feature, though his face is on the long side, but he exerts so little presence that he seems almost insubstantial.
Personality: In a word, "affable." Given half the chance, Maylonn will get along with everyone. He will probably proposition half of them, but he isn't meant to be taken seriously. He doesn't take much of anything seriously himself, and tries to inject levity into every situation. This can make him seem insensitive to the suffering of others, and his general level-headedness gives the impression that he's uncaring, but really, he just has too many friends to keep track of. He doesn't experience extreme emotions often and tends to be mildly baffled by those who do.
His permanent air of distraction is a sham. True, he really doesn't care about his appearance much, and he is fairly lazy, and he tends to say things so ridiculous that no one's sure whether he's been paying attention to the conversation... All right, maybe there's some truth to it after all. While he is extremely intelligent and more observant than most people will ever guess, he can seldom be bothered to exert any control over his life and tends to drift unobtrusively through. He keeps a part of himself reserved, and that part is pragmatic, ruthless, and horribly cynical.
History: Maylonn is a nephew in some degree of the Lord Holder of Benden, so as a child he was allowed to run around unfettered, rubbing elbows with everyone in the hold, until his parents caught wind of the scandalously casual manner in which he was speaking to his elders. He was smart and liked music, so they shipped him off to the Harperhall with a firm injunction that he make something of himself.
That didn't really succeed. Everything came easily to him, so he never learned how to do fancy things like "applying himself." He became a first-class layabout, his primary occupations drinking, flirting, and making much of his "connections" at Benden.
About a Turn ago, he learned of his parents' death in an earthquake and immediately returned to Benden to look after his sister Daylinn, whom he scarcely remembered, as she'd been born only a short time before he left for the Harperhall. He has appointed himself her advocate and protector, and decided to bring her to West Bay Hold for a change of pace. And maybe since he's being so nice and everything, she'll stop hating him.
