Character Number: 1
Description: Oswin is recognizable just from his posture. The boy can't sit up straight. His shoulders are always hunched, his head slightly forward. That, combined with his thin build, make him look a little younger than his true age. Htie's fidgety, too. He has a habit of picking at the end of his sleeves, if he's wearing long sleeves, or tugging on a lock of hair if he's not. He also bites his nails, and they are worn down ragged. He does not particularly enjoy spending long hours outside, so his skin is pale. He has very dark brown hair, and he wears it long, from his shoulders to halfway down his back, depending on the last time he cut it. His hair is always a little uneven because he cuts it himself. He has light green eyes. Oswin prefers wearing dark colors, and his clothes are rarely fancy or embellished.
Description: Oswin is a very cerebral young man. He is often lost in his own little world, solving complex formulas in his head. He is obsessed with numbers, and he sees them everywhere. Not only are complicated mathematics insanely easy for him, he also enjoys it immensely. Even when he doesn't have numbers to crunch for the Hall, he makes problems up for himself.
When he first meets new people, he can be quite shy. Once he gets to know a person, however, he is more outgoing. He usually decides quickly whether or not he likes a person. He has three basic relationship states. One, he likes you and will cling to you with dorky affection. Two, he can't stand you and can barely be in the same room. Three, you haven't impressed him either way and you just sort of float off his radar. Oswin is interested enough in people that most tend to fall into the first or second category, however. He may not understand people half the time, but he finds them fascinating subjects to observe.
He can get very anxious over little things, and he tends to overthink. Oswin has a good imagination and often uses it to concoct ways that things could go wrong. He has a couple of phobias, the big one being a fear of germs. He is a neat freak, and he hates being dirty. If someone sneezes, he won't go near them. He carries a hankie around in case he comes in contact with something that might contain germs. He pictures them as invisible bugs, just waiting to jump all over him, and they are everywhere. Partly because of that, and partly as its own little quirk, he doesn't like being touched, especially by people he doesn't know well. A person has to be on pretty close terms with him to get a hug. Above all, he hates having his hair touched, and that even applies to people he knows. It's an irrational thing and he freaks out if someone lays a finger on his head. He's been cutting his own hair for years now. Naturally, he's also a little squicked out by sex, and for a 20 year old man he is remarkably inexperienced. He's only exchanged a couple of awkward kisses before. He's heard that sex is nice, though, and he might try it out eventually.
Oswin is generally a reserved person, and he does not like being the center of attention. He doesn't understand why people are so impressed by his mathematical skills, and he downplays it whenever it comes up. He can be talkative or quiet, depending on his mood. Sometimes he'll barely speak, usually when he's concentrating on something in his head. Other times, he can babble on for ages. He might even forget that the other person is there. Either way, he is a good listener, and even if he can't always offer good advice, he's always willing to lend an ear. Why not, when people's drama is just so interesting?
Written History: Oswin's history is fairly uneventful. He is an only child and he was lucky to have parents who were patient and understanding with their quirky son. He was born in Keroon Hold. His father was a former jockey who gave up racing for breeding as he aged, and his mother was a tailor. From an early age, he had a talent for numbers, and this set him apart from the other children. Despite his intelligence, he seemed to have difficulty forming friendships. He was sometimes mean to another kid for no apparent reasons, while other kids complained that he was too clingy. Oswin usually preferred playing alone, anyway, especially since his idea of "playing" was usually solving math problems.
At the age of thirteen he moved to Storm Winds Hold to begin an apprenticeship focusing in Starcraft. He enjoyed being able to put his talents to work and even with his awkwardness, he got along well at his new home. When the black star got close to Pern, he watched it with the other Starcrafters and helped chart its approach. Even though he knew what was coming, he was still shocked by the disaster.
When he was Searched, he decided to become a candidate. He would miss the crafthall, but with the times as they are, he believes that candidacy is a duty no one should turn down.

..::Candidate Section::..
Preferred Colors: Green or Brown
Colors You would Prefer Not to Get: none
Why? Green because it would be fun and they are my favorite dragons. Brown because a level headed dragon might balance him more.
How Flexible Are you? Pretty flexible, as long as I like the personality of the dragon, the color doesn't matter as much. Mutations are fine too.
Mauleble and to what degree? Sure, why not. Just don't kill him.
