Julian
Name: Julian. (J'ian if he impresses)
Age: Twenty one
Gender: Male
Prisoner: Yes
Crime: Posession of so much Dust he should really be dead. Stealing to feed his addiction.
Craft/Rank: Bum.
Appearance: Julian is a strange little guy. He's lightly built, but he stands at 5'11 and is quite proud of it. His thin build just makes him faster and makes it easier for him to steal, after all. He has long, clever fingers and a permanently sly look transfixed to his face... when he isn't looking stoned.
His features are pretty in a refined way. He looks more like a lord holders son then a stoner, but he's one anyway. Being homeless and the dust haven't done him any favors, however. Scars litter his cheeks from being picked at during one of Julian's highs, and his formerly brown hair has turned gray as a result of his failure to take care of himself. His eyes, formerly bright grey and lively, have likewise faded.
His hair was once kept long, but as he is new to the prison it is cropped short... something he hates. He's always tugging at the short hair, and if not for the fact the guards and other prisoners scold him for it, he'd probably rip out chunks of it as well.
Personality: Julian is lazy. He would work for perks, but he'd much prefer to sleep in his cot. He very rarely moves when he isn't begging for just a bit more Dust, and the only reason he isn't overweight is because he often doesn't eat for days at a time, snoozing away and thinking of his own little world where he has as much Dust as he wants.
He's also a dreamer. When he isn't sleeping, he's spaced out and dreaming up his perfect little world. He has a dragon in this world, despite his dislike of the idea of becoming a prison guard by Impressing a dragon. He's standing anyway, but it just seems like so much work. He'd rather sleep.
Despite his lazy and dreaming ways, he's mostly a kind man. Julian wouldn't lift a finger to harm anyone unless they deserved it, and he's known for giving his food to the younger prisoners. The only time he moves from his bed is to defend someone from a bigger, tougher person... but being a lazy drug addict, he's easily trounced and put back in his place.
When he's high, he's the exact opposite. He becomes super active, bouncing around everywhere and doing everything. He adjusts paintings and the like quickly and often, or picks at his face until he bleeds. He's also irritable like this, striking out at people who look at him wrong. Luckily, he's mostly stayed out of trouble against all odds and thus hasn't been convicted for assault or murder.
No matter what, he hates conflict. If he's high and lashes out at someone, he'll probably run away apologizing a moment later out of fear. He'll only fight if it's for someone else, because Julian hates pain. He hates pain, he hates work, and he especially hates being hated. He sort of believes the whole world should love each other... he just won't work for it.
History: Julian was born into an average family. His father was the disowned son of a lord holder, cast out for dealing Dust, and his mother a former dust addict who was on her way to recovery... yet who still helped Julian's father manage his business. She was a cruel and stern woman... and her four children quickly learned their mother was insane and avoided her. She was gone more often then not, thankfully, off stalking a teenager that had caught her attention.
So Julian was raised by his father, who was just as lazy as he was. The man taught Julian how to sell... and once the boy moved out and began to live on his own, got him hooked to dust. What customer would be more loyal then the dealers own son? It didn't help that Julian was a natural addict, falling hard and fast for the drugs. His father was amused, and occasionally bought him gifts to make him even more loyal. Soon after Julian was hooked, he became his fathers errand boy. He, and his new firelizard Bell, became his chief ferriers.
Julian continued, working only to get his fix from his father. He stopped working his normal job, and was evicted from his home... so he slept on the street in between jobs. It was one day, while breaking into a house so he could earn enough money to buy his neck fix, he was pounced on by a Green dragon. His father had framed him as the true dealer, and Julian was taken to the prison. It was discovered he wasn't the true dealer, and his father was taken down... but the charges of theft, use and possession were enough to keep him there.
