D’rian
Name: D’rian (Dorian)
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Prisoner: No
Craft/Rank: Greenrider
Appearance: There's no two ways about it: D’rian is beautiful in a way that boys are usually not. Delicate, with somewhat effeminate features, he is the epitome of the golden boy with his tousled blond curls and soulful blue eyes. From a distance, he cuts a masculine enough profile, dressing in practical-yet-elegant clothing that is just slightly too expensive to befit a young man of his class and stature. Up close, he doesn't quite wear masculinity the same way. In fact, he doesn't wear it much at all unless he's trying to impress someone. His stances are not solid, tending more toward fluid motions and a practiced, indolent way of lounging against the air that gives him an air of vague disrespect that he describes as "charming." His face is well-suited to vibrant expressions, with eyes that seem just a tad too large for his face.
But there is something about D’rian that does belie all his seeming teenage innocence. Some subtle cast of the eyes, the set of his mouth, something hints at cynicism and the crippling apathy that has begun to set into his soul. He wears a sneer as prettily as he does a grin now, and there is a hardness to his gaze that seems out-of-place in a body that looks eighteen.
Personality: In a word, passionate. D’rian is the sort of person who throws his all into everything he does, and is kind of a drama queen because of it. It's sad to say, but there's no getting around it: D’rian is a total drama queen. Nothing is ever straightforward with him, nor is anything ever a mild problem. In a way, it's very much like a high school girl; he overdramatizes his own problems to a ridiculous extent. Everything he does it important, every problem he has is the end of the world. In D’rian's eyes, the world does revolve around him. Always a spoiled child, the company he has kept has only inflated his ego and made his narcissism worse. D’rian is the most important thing in D’rian's life, and he firmly believes he should be the most important thing in everyone else's, as well.
While this has a definite impact on his behaviour, D’rian does try to tone down the 'drama queen' act in front of other men. A proper Hold upbringing has, of course, stifled D’rian's outward expression of his feminine side and sexuality. Internally, he is fully aware of his preferences, but externally he is crippled by the idea of impropriety and keeps certain things to himself. Talk of sex both fascinates and horrifies him, and people who are casual or flippant about their romance and intimate relationships tend to draw him in. He both resents and fears them, and his desire for intimacy and relationships has begun to seriously butt heads with his old world prudishness. That said, while he might be repressed about sexuality, about love and friendship, he is anything but. Excitable and affectionate, he is a very physical person with those he trusts. It's just the whole 'trust' thing that is becoming difficult for him.
The bad company he's kept in the past introduced D’rian to the world of hedonism and apathy, and he has taken it in his stride. In fact, it would not be too far off to say that D’rian exudes aestheticism in its purest form. He divides the world into two categories: things that are amusing, and things that are tedious. And woe betide anything that falls into the realm of the tedious. Not only does D’rian ignore them, he is apt to complain prettily about them to whoever will listen until everything is...taken care of. And things that amuse him, well, D’rian will indulge in them to the point of danger. Your problems are tedious, but the alcohol in your glass? Very amusing. So perhaps he will tolerate you. Particularly if he thinks he can get something from you. While he's not entirely conscious of his manipulative tendencies, he certainly spends a great deal of time thinking about how he wants and how he can get other people to get it for him.
Honestly, there's not a whole lot else that D’rian is particularly good at. He's exceedingly good at being pretty and useless, but beyond that...well, his skills are less than marketable. Or at least, that's what he lets on. He's fairly good at little things that don't really have much value: dancing, singing, playing the violin, and sketching, for instance, he can do well enough to charm. And unconsciously, he is a master manipulator. He doesn't always realize he's doing it, but he has a knack for batting his eyelashes and getting his way that is nearly uncanny. As time passes, he is beginning to realize exactly how he always gets his way, but for now it's more innate than practiced.
History: Fuck if I know.
Other stuff: how the fuck did he get here he is not equipped to handle prisoners.
