Personality: David’s primary mode of living is focused externally, where he deal with things rationally and logically. His secondary mode is internal, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

David is a natural born leader. He lives in a world of possibilities where he sees all sort challenges to be surmounted, and he wants to be the one responsible for surmounting them. He has a drive for leadership, which is well-served by his quickness to grasp complexities, his ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and his quick and decisive judgments. He is a "take charge" person.

David is very career-focused, and fits into the corporate world quite naturally. He is constantly scanning his environment for potential problems which he can turn into solutions. He generally sees things from a long-range perspective, and is usually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around - especially problems of a corporate nature. David is usually successful in the business world, because he is so driven to leadership. He’s tireless in his efforts on the job, and is driven to visualize where an organization is headed. For these reasons, he is natural corporate leaders.

There is not much room for error in the world of David. He dislikes seeing mistakes repeated, and has no patience with inefficiency. He may become quite harsh when his patience is tried in these respects, because he is not naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than likely doesn't believe that he should tailor his judgments in consideration for people's feelings. David has difficulty seeing things from outside his own perspective. David naturally has little patience with people who do not see things the same way as he does. David needs to consciously work on recognizing the value of other people's opinions, as well as the value of being sensitive towards people's feelings. In the absence of his awareness, David will be forceful, intimidating and overbearing individual. This may be a real problem for David, who may be deprived of important information and collaboration from others. In his personal world, it can make David overbearing as spouses or parents.

David has a tremendous amount of personal power and presence which will work for him as a force towards achieving his goals. However, this personal power is also an agent of alienation and self-aggrandizement, which David would do well to avoid.

David is very forceful, decisive individuals. He makes decisions quickly, and is quick to verbalize his opinions and decisions to the rest of the world. David may have brilliant ideas and insight into situations, but he may have little skill at determining how to act upon his understanding, or his actions may be inconsistent. David has developed in a generally less than ideal way may become dictatorial and abrasive - intrusively giving orders and direction without a sound reason for doing so, and without consideration for the people involved, that is if he doesn’t keep himself in check.

David is not naturally tuned into other people's feelings, but he frequently has a very strong sentimental streak. Often these sentiments are very powerful to David, although he will likely hide it from general knowledge, believing the feelings to be a weakness. Because the world of feelings and values is not where David naturally functions, he may sometimes make value judgments and hold onto submerged emotions which are ill-founded and inappropriate, and will cause him problems - sometimes rather serious problems.

David loves to interact with people. He can be energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to David than having a lively, challenging conversation. He especially respects people who are able to stand up to him, and argues persuasively for their point of view. There aren't too many people who will do so, however, because David has a very forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and excellent verbal communication skills. Even the most confident individuals may experience moments of self-doubt when debating a point with David.


David puts a lot of effort and enthusiasm into his relationships. Since his major quest in life is to constantly take in knowledge and turn that into something useful, he will try to turn everything into a learning experience. Within the context of relationships, that means he will constantly seek knowledge and revise the rules and definitions of his relationships. He values his relationships highly, especially those relationships which present him with new challenges and stimulate his learning. Such exchanges promote genuine affection and satisfaction for David. Relationships which do not offer any chances for growth or learning does not hold any interest David. As in other areas of life, David likes to be in charge of his relationships. In conversation,David is very direct and confrontational, and can be highly critical and challenging towards others. People involved in close relationships with David needs to have a good amount of personal strength. For those who do, David has a tremendous amount to offer.

David is not naturally in-tune with the feelings and emotions of his partners. David sometimes does not make the attempt to be aware of others, and to value their feelings and opinions, and thus may find himself in unbalanced relationships, where real communication does not take place. These kinds of situations present a two-edged sword to David. They want to be in charge, but if he becomes so much in charge as to stifle his partners, he will eventually become bored with the relationship.

Romantically, David is robust, imaginative and enthusiastic. His natural instinct to lead will be apparent in this arena as well as other areas of life, and he will lead his partner on creative lovemaking adventures, where the focus is on mutual learning and affection sharing. He's likely to expect romance on a relatively scheduled basis.

David does not usually have a problem with self-confidence and is not especially emotionally needy. Although he enjoys being told that he is loved and appreciated, he doesn't need to hear these types of avowals as often as most other males. If he is partnered with a Feeling type female, he is probably not likely to fulfill his partner's needs for intimate words without conscious effort. Even with effort, David may have problems being aware of other's emotional needs, and he most likely won't understand those needs even if he is aware of them.

David approaches conflict as an opportunity for growth and learning. This is a very healthy outlook in general, but may be a problem in a close relationship with a his girlfriends. David’s tends to be confrontational may be very threatening to a person especially so if they are an intimate partner of the him. In general, David has a lot to offer to his intimate relationships. He's dedicated and enthusiastic, and willing to put forth a lot of effort to make things work out. He takes on responsibility and accountability, and expects to be in charge. His relationship will be one based on mutual respect, constant growth and development.

History: "My history is quite...well entertaining to say a word."

David was born on a hot summer day to Count Jorken and Countess Martha. He was actually born dead for a few minutes before he opened his eyes and cried. It was as if he had done it on purpose but he hadn't. His parents were glad that they hadn't birthed a still born like the five times before. Jorken had given his son the name David meaning beloved because he was loved by his parents immensely. He was then given to his milk maid and shortly sent off to a school for the nobles.

At the rightful age of eleven he was sent back to his parents for further training. He was sent straight to the army to protect the city. Even being the son of the count he was given no leniency or slack. In fact they treated him harder due to that fact. He was alway awake, always working, always fighting for survival in the army and by the age of fifteen he had developed a knack for the bow. It was soon discovered that he was more skilled than the normal person with a bow and in fact he could use magic with it whereas most of the other soldiers couldn't.

He was granted a higher rank and was soon a commander at the age of twenty but that wasn't to last because a few days later his father and mother(being the warriors they were) had marched ot with some of their men to attack some Urgals only to be ambushed and defeated. Heartbroken and sad David had ordered the army to eliminate all Urgals around their city and to place a moot around it as well to ensure further safety from pirates and Urgals. Shortly after this he had become the count due to the city's government of monarcy.

David never forgot his training and was constantly with his soldiers fighting against the urgals and pirates with his bow. He had became famous for his skills with the bow as well as minor magic. He is now at the age of twenty-nine and is about to celebrate his thirtieth birthday and he's still very much unmarried and DOESN'T have a mistress in fact he's never been laid.

Roleplaying Sample:

....you made us late again Elrohir. You know how mad our commander gets when we're late. Man you need to keep track of time more often. Is your age showing or something or is it that you don't care anymore? Farinth spoke to his rider softly as he flew toward the meeting ground. he then stiffened seeing two of the young dragons about to fight but it was called off by Aiedail. Farinath decided to stick to the skies and wasn't surprised that a bit sooner then he expected the others were in the air. He then projected his presence to Aiedail and the others so that they knew that Elrohir was here now.

Elrohir just sighed as he leaned back, laying down on Farinath and just listened to the flapping of wings the stillness of the battle to come and then willingness those young riders allowed their dragons to have. it was all so...comforting. Not really actually. It concerned Elrohir that such recklessness was allowed in those two riders. He rolled his eyes lightly as he sat back up watching the four riders and dragons fly off toward the nest. Elrohir then sent a mental statement to Farinath to follow them slowly. They would bring up the rear and chase down any one that tried to flee, rider of lethrblaka alike. He smiled lightly and then watched as they lazily made their way.

Such a day as this and yet here I am working on a mission...If only I had someone to go home to when this was over I'm in need of some entertainment don't you think Farinath? Oh well what the commander wants is what the commander gets. I'll do anything for her and you know that well enough already. Elrohir patted Farinath's neck lightly as they tried to think up what spells they would use. Pretty soon Elrohir had launched his cloaking spell once again feeling one of the orbs slightly deminish and then spoke to Farinath again, I'm going to have to refill these things soon it seems. That or take some of the power out of them. I'd hate to have to kill another creature just for more power but if i must i must.

Easy now Elrohir you know what happened last time you pushed yourself. You ended up unconscious and at the medical tents. It's due to some of the council members your still alive. They spent a few days on you trying to get you to recover your senses. Farinath spoke lightly to his rider. It was then that he huffed and flew right up infront of Maximillian and his dragon.

Elrohir sighed and then spoke allowing everyone to hear him, Maximillian though you may be a commander and a higher seat to the council then myself make sure to note this is not your mission but that of the tenth's if it was yours I'm sure it would be ran differently. But seeing as that you have volunteered to be with us I am sure you will cooperate willingly with Aiedail. If you do so I will be more than willing to help you out on one of your missions as well. But as it is let us focus on the situation at hand and stop bickering like little children.

Looking around at each rider Elrohir sighed and then dropped up next to Aiedail and smiled to her softly as he spoke to her alone for the first time in a few weeks. Commander sorry I'm late. I had to deal with a few of the newer riders earlier today at the training court. I apologize again for my interruption just now but I do believe it was getting out of hand.
