Character Profile
Name: Thaddeus "Tad" Clarkson"
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Weyrling
Weyr: Rocky
Appearance:
Tad is not a small person. Standing a good bit over six feet tall and broad across the shoulders, he has a solidity to him, even at his relatively young age. His hair is that sandy color that looks blond in certain lights, brown in others, and is neatly trimmed. He is cleanshaven, revealing slightly heavy features. His eyes are medium brown. Much of the time, these features are sheltered under a hat of some kind. Usually a cowboy hat, but sometimes he tones it down to a baseball cap. Rarely is he seen bareheaded.
He has large hands, with coarse fingers, and at first sight might seem to be a somewhat slow individual, both physically and mentally. His deep, thoughtful voice does nothing to disrupt that impression. His skin is deeply tanned. When he wears a short sleeved shirt, the line of a scar can be seen up his right upper arm, thin and white, but it does not seem to impair him.
Picture: None yet.
Base Personality:
Thaddeus is a very straightforward young man. He is simple, although not stupid...academics are simply not his thing. Quiet in voice and motion, he is unlikely to put himself forward, but few are more loyal...and he does make friends very easily.
History:
Thaddeus comes from a long line of farmers, ranchers and, to be frank, cowboys. He was raised by a father who meant for him to be a real man. Fortunately, he was able to at least fake it well enough to get by. Possessed of the kind of intelligence that focuses more on the land, and of a love of horses, he was the boy who ran all over the place.
When he was three, they moved up into the mountains. His father started a business taking people on horseback up into the high valleys. (Fortunately, not in directions that led them anywhere near the 'military reservation'). Thaddeus was in the saddle almost before he could walk and he and his brother, Donald, would clearly take over the operation.
Donald was the one with the head for business. Thaddeus was the one who could make a horse sit up and beg. If horses did such things. Donald was a year older.
Then everything went wrong. Thaddeus' mother became sick with cancer, and although she recovered, in her absence, the business began to fail...for she was the one who attracted the customers and put them up in the ranch house. An outbreak of an equine illness cost them even more.
Then Tad's father turned to drink. Well, no, he had always had that particular weakness, but now? It ended with him almost getting a customer killed, and that was the end of it.
Tad, eighteen, was left with no business to inherit except for the surviving horses, which he and Donald prepared for sale. He planned to leave the area, take a job as a trainer somewhere else, rebuild somewhere where he wasn't old Marshall's son.
That was when the storm came and he found out what the military was really hiding in these mountains.
