Description: Malchan is a densely built young man with broad shoulders and a massive chest. There is not an ounce of excessive fat on him as he is a very fit individual. He has thick arms and legs to go with the build, but somehow avoids the ape-man look.
Malchan has a round face with very slightly slanted eyes that are usually smiling in some sort of manner. His nose is sort of on the large side with a slight arch to it. It is also not quite entirely straight … he's broken it at least once in his life. The crook is not overly noticeable, unless one stands there and studies his face intently, but it is there. Whoever set his nose did a fairly good job doing it. His hair is kept trimmed fairly short, to about four or five inches in length, to keep it out of his way and easy to care for. But that also means he sometimes has a tousled appearance to him. It takes some serious taming to make his hair be overly presentable, but it is possible.
History: Malchan was born to a pair of Journeyman Healers, who did not live or serve in the same hold. His father tended to commute from cothold to cothold, while his mother resided in a minor hold that was some ways from Ista Hold. He spent much of his childhood following his mother around the hold, watching her tend to people. While when she was tending to wounds this was no big deal. But when people came down with something, it was a minor miracle that the lad didn't catch something dreadful and die, himself. In part, this was due to his mother's healthy amount of prevention, but mostly this was due to his own strong constitution. Not much could get the lad sick. He almost never saw his father but maybe once or twice a turn. These visits were always highly cherished, as the small family stayed in contact via flitter-delivered letters that were written every week. It was almost like having his father there, in some ways, the contact was constant enough.
Malchan grew into a smart lad, that had a leg up on what was naturally going to be come his trade of choice. While he did no apprentice very early at all … in fact he was late by a turn by apprenticing to a different Journeyman Healer at the age of 13 turns. But having grown up in the trade, he progressed quickly. He passed out of Apprenticeship at the standard time, but only because he didn't want to charge ahead. He had the skills of a higher healer, but refused the progression until he had worked the years needed for it. Even now, as a Journeyman Healer, he is quite skilled and knowledgeable in the craft. Those that don't know him don't expect him to know as much as he does.
The day he became a Journeyman, his parents spent the marks to get him a flitter egg, so that he could have his very own messenger while on his journeying. It took him some time to train the persnickety flitter, but he managed it.
He had not been a Journeyman long, wandering from cothold to cothold much like the way his father did, when he made a trip to the weyr for similar purposes. As he saw it, he was just making the full rotation, before heading back to do it all over again, taking care of people as he went. But he found he liked Ista weyr well enough that he simply stayed there. While he has not officially called the place 'home' yet, he might someday. If he doesn't wander on, first.
Personality: Malchan is a rather cheerful sort, even when faced with dire circumstances. He understands that sometimes all it takes to survive something is the right attitude. And a patient has a hard time keeping that attitude if the Healer is grouchy or somber. That is aided somewhat by his simply being a cheerful sort to start with.
That, however, does not mean that it is impossible to raise his ire. While that facet of his personality is very very hard to find, once it's found, Malchan is a force to be reckoned with. Once he is mad, it takes some doing to calm him down again. Thankfully, he doesn't get mad very often.
He can be concerned about things and still be able to crack a joke about it most of the time. He likes to associate with people, talk to them and see what they have to say. He does somewhat like the attention of the ladies, but will not go out of his way to get it. Malchan usually picks up pretty quick whether or not someone is willing to have him around or not, when he's merely socializing.
When it comes to the emergency duties of a Healer, he can be somewhat forceful of presence, making sure everything happens that needs to happen, and quickly. But on the more laid back side of tending the infirmary (which he really enjoys having), he is laid back. Non emergency type preparations will get done when they get done, so long as no one is waiting on that item. If someone needs it, it gets done quickly.
Pets: One brown flitter named 'Klar' trained to courier messages back and forth. He is 4 turns old, and still an irritating snot. A creamy chocolate brown, he almost looks edible!
