Over-All: Still being considered as a growing young male, Keanos seems to be slowly growing as he ages, thus, showing promise that he will most definently not be one of the tallest males. Though, even if this holdbrat has a gaurantee of not growing more so over 5'5", he probably has the quality of being a sturdy adult with promise of being quite powerful. Even in such a young stage as he is in now, nothing is set in stone, and only when Keanos is a full adult will things be told as to how tall he really will be and how strongly built he will become. Until those long turns arrive, Keanos will just have to make due with his true mother, Lady Illyasindra, and foster mother, Nana, nagging at him to eat more of his veggies and food to help him grow tall.
Like most Southern inhabitants, Keanos is almost an olive brown in coloration, make for the fact that he has freckles that just barely shows and covers a partial of his nose and cheek areas. His brows are, if not darker, a dirty blonde that are mostly hidden, as well as with his wonderous emerald green eyes, behind wavy, threatening to become curly, locks of drifting dirty blonde hair. If anything, Keanos isn't one to show much of himself because he rarely refuses to have his hair trimmed close to his head as he quite enjoys the feel of his 'long' hair in his face. That and so that whenever he doesn' wish to see someone's face, he can just somehow cover his eyes to block out the person's face and still make it look like he's looking at them. In any case of Keanos, he looks, to some distinct way, much like how a surfer of Earth, nowadays, would possibly look like, give for the fact that he has no piercings, and he doesn't exactly dress in that sort of fashion..
With Keanos being still very young, his skin is pretty much flawless, or, at least, unmarred by anything dramatic. Because of how curious Keanos still can be, surprisingly, he does have a scar that he may be carrying with him for some time, if not, forever, just faintly seen by an untrained eye.
Keanos has several minor to major scars, still somewhat fresh and can be seen, from a turn ago when he was attacked by a raging queen fire lizard. She has left multiple scratches across his back, between the sholderblades, though mostly upon the left side of his shoulder is a main area of where the scars are. They are still somewhat pink in color and there is a slight welping to that area in general.
Because Keanos is heir to his father, he is constantly nagged by his mother in general, to dress as such. So, whenever the holdbrat is within the court grounds, he dresses in nothing but the finest that his mother would find for him, because of this, Keanos has two dressers; one with his best clothes, the other, with his normal clothings.
Of the nicest of fabrics for tunics, mostly coming in colors of a deep purple, dark violet, with gold, though sometimes silver, linings. As for his pants, they are nothing but the best of wher hides. Most bought in the color of black, sometimes another dark color. If anything, Keanos doesn't really object to his mother's choice of clothes, but he prefers, if anything else, to wear what he wants when he's planning to roam the Hold, and if he's lucky, the Weyr.
In such case when he wears his normal outting clothes, it normally consists of various colors of light and dark tunics or button ups. His favorite breeches are old, worn out wher hide that is a dark khaki in color with various stains on them from the previous owner who gave them to him. If nothing else that Keanos has for foot wear, he is always wearing a pair of black wher hide boots that the holdbrat loves as it does not give him the troubles as what a newly made pair of boots will do.
To bring everything together about Keanos fitting attire, he has a tan belt with two pouches attached to them. One of them being a carrying case for a newly bought belt knife that his father, Lord Garevon, bought him for his fifth turning day. It is kept to the sharpest of points and is used only in dire need. The hilt is a ruby red with black tiger stripes from the main spine down the handle part that Keanos is barely able to completely grasp with his hands. Fully extended, as this is one of those kniives that fold downwards, it becomes at least, with hilt included, about eight inches in length. This knife is always kept in its pouch, on the belt, around his waist.
Personality
Keanos isn't exactly like most of the other holdbrats, even at such a young age. If anything, he is very modest, humble and down-to-Pern. He's quite willing to say that he is wrong about something and not let the topic go further on than just lie about it and regret it later. Keanos doesn't even let his highly born status affect his life with being able to play with the other holdbrats of the Hold if his mother allows him. Very rarely will this young lad even allow his few friends get out of trouble by innocense and tirckery lies, but when he does, he usually thinks it throughly about every little consequense that he, himself may get into as well as the person in charge of the crime. Because of his sense of judgement, whether injust or just, Keanos has a promising start of possibly leading himself down the road of leadership within the Hold.
He is also very serious about pretty much everything and has a very high self-esteem. He has this air about him that says he will never take charge from anyone that he suspects does not have this quality about themself. In other words, he's very picky about who he chooses to follow, but when not given the choice, he will happily follow to a certain degree. His father, being his role model, is one of those people Keanos will gladly follow as the young lad hopes to be just like him when he grows up. Strong in mind and body, faithful to many, loved by all.
Another thing about this young lad is that he's quiet a good deal of the time, Keanos will spend every moment alone outside watching the starry night sky when an opportunity is given to him. Keanos may not be exactly so, but he is quite the intelligent person. Even when he's not quiet and pondering about several things, he is, indeed, thinking of everything he can think of. Though his thoughts are mostly kept to himself, he will occasionally tell his father about his thoughts. So, just because Keanos may be young and small, he can be the tricky one when it comes to being logical.
Because Keanos is still young, he has not really lost the traits of being playful and curious. Keanos will only learn through experiences, and most of the time, he learns after the first time mistakes. He's very adventuresome, and troublesome if ever given the chance, but Keanos mostly leans on the verge of being curious to a certain extent. What can anyone really say about him? He's still young and growing.
History
Being born oldest son, and so far the only son, Keanos hasn't really considered his life history to be any different than the next person's. Yeah, there was that one turn when he encounter an angry mother fire lizard, but other than that, his life was probably just as plain as anyone else.
He was born within the palace of Sanctum Hold and was wetnursed by one of the trustworthy nurses within the place. His mother wasn't exactly one to be ready to breastfeed him, so he was still kept within the halls of the palace, just, given to the care of one of the nurses. Because of this during his early turns, Keanos, as much as he loves his true birth mother, finds an adoring love for the wetnurse.
As the turns went by and Keanos was weaned, he still spent most of his time with his wetnurse and other times learning most of the ins and outs of what his father did as he found it quite interesting to follow Garevon about. Keanos found lots of time on his hands and thus, found lots of passages that he suspects no one knows about but himself. He was quite the adventurer up til he was old enough, and 'mature-wise' to attend some of his father's less important meetings to learn of what he will be expected to do when he became old enough to soon lead the Hold onwards.
Last turn was when Keanos came into contact with the angry fire lizard. He wasn't exactly meaning to cause any harm, but he had gotten to the point where he was 'endangering' the mother's clutch by almost stepping on the small clump of soft dirt that would collapse should someone, or something, was to be careless and trample over it. It was, as said, merely by accident, and Keanos was very lucky not to get any more hurt than what was punished to him as he went back homeward not crying, but almost on the verge of it.
After that, Keanos knows better than to be careless on where you trend. He has learned that just because fire lizards are small, they can be quite the monsters when need be.
