Identifying traits:  The major tough-guy aura

    Appearance:  S'lan is the all time tough guy.  He
                  stands 6'3" with a somewhat stocky  build, very muscular and rough
                  looking.  His hair is black as the shadows of midnight, long, reaching to
                  his shoulders, and always pulled into a pony tail.  S'lan's eyes are dark
                  brown, framed by his dark eye brows.  He never has a clean shave with tanned,
                  weathered skin.  His nose is narrow, but well defined, slightly crooked from
                  being broken so many times.  S'lan has a knife scar running from just above
                  his eye brow, skipping over his eye,  and dragging down to mid-cheek.  His
                  cheeks are well defined, and under all his ruffness, he is a rather handsome man.

    Personality:  S'lan is ruff and tough, inside out. He grew up Bitra!  S'lan knows how to
                   fight, when to fight, and who to fight.  He shows no emotions and has
                   the street smarts to survive is the most back-stabbing place in all of
                   Pern.  But deep inside, he really is a soft guy, though he never shows it.
                   S'lan has morals and ethics, things  like 'live by the sword and die by the
                   sword' and 'defend the innocent.' That's probably why he impressed a
                   dragon.  Despite growing up in Bitra, he has a good heart, though his normal
                   never shows it.  Mostly, he'll just brush off people and go on his way.
                   People see his as cold and unfeeling, but he really is a good guy.

    History:  S'lan grew up in Bitra.  The scum of
               Pern.  He grew up on the streets, among  thieves and murderers.  He learned how
               to fight dirty and how to fight fair. In one hard lesson, he nearly lost an
               eye, thus his scar, by saving a small kid from a dirty thief after a good
               time.  S'lan realized there were  innocent people being preyed upon by
               such sick people.  He began developing ethics and morals and fighting for
               them.  Then, he got sick of Bitra and left.  On his travels, he traveled
               among Holdless, learning from their  example.  In coming, S'lan came upon
               Ista Weyr.  There he was asked to stand as a Candidate and impressed.  Brown
               Heldanth and S'lan were masters of mayhem.  They constantly got into
               mischief, though nothing horrible because S'lan still lived by his
               ethics.  When Heldanth and S'lan graduated from Weyrlinghood to Full
               riders, S'lan requested transfer to Tanora.  Thus they came to Tanora Weyr.
