Coran

Alabaster at its finest with pristine ribboning like marble. Stacked in a sedimentary fashion from nose to tail tip. The base of his coat is a slightly saturated shade of white that is intertwined beneath a pallet of ivory, sterling, and white gold. However, his points and unders remain unmuttled. The only stipend of color being his pale sapphire gaze- with depths as clear and bright as a freshwater spring.

His coat adorns a rigid masculine frame- broad shoulders stretched with toned muscling. His build though, versatile and nimble, sculpted for endurance and agility rather than speed or brute force.

CHARISMATIC & TACTFUL. Coran is there for those who are around him, listening without judgment and doing whatever it is that may be needed from him for the benefit of the masses. He is wise for his years, far-seeing, and intelligent. He can remove himself emotionally from a situation, and does his best to provide insight to those that need it in order to help them make the best decisions. He is a natural peacemaker that doesn't allow his passions to rule his vessel. He is careful with his words, seeking out information, investigating, and obtaining feedback before weighing in or offering potential solutions. However, he tries his best to know what to do or say to put others at ease and win their trust. Coran is caring and considerate, and puts out the effort to make those around him feel like they have been invested in. He encourages his loved ones to reach for their dreams and wants nothing more than for them to be successful. Sadly, you can never please everyone, and this will certainly lead to stress and frustration knowing that whatever the final decisions are, there is a good possibility that someone will be dissatisfied with the outcome.
- Avoids criticizing others
- Hardly ever assigns blame to anyone, unless it can be done in an instructive way.
- Does his best to acknowledge others and their needs as valid and important.


REALISTIC & COMPOSED. While Coran is certainly confident by nature, he exudes it in a sense of knowing himself intimately. Leaving him driven to make decisions that lead to general contentment. He does not allow himself to get pulled into unhealthy activities such as gossip, drama, or toxic relationships- for these things threaten his centered state. He has good priorities and steady emotions. At his foundation, he should be considered an anchor- a life raft. When a situation turns tense or emotional, he does his best to perform his duties as a voice of solid reason. He is responsible, prepared, and tries to offer solid counsel for someone whose judgment may be cloudy or uncertain. Because of his convictions, he has a hard time backing away from what he believes to be the most direct course of action, and because of this, can come across as being uncooperative or pushy to others. And since he derives satisfaction from his current situation, he may not be as status-seeking as those who are ambitious and willing to make more extreme sacrifices. He is often content to settle in his own personal life rather than strive for self-improvement. Because he likes to assess the odds of success and generally sticks with what makes sense, he won't be likely to chase any of his big dreams. His disdain for spontaneity may cause others to view him as boring.
- Admires others who are also practical and realistic.
- Refuses to be coerced into risky behaviors.
- Has a difficult time saying 'No' when he is overcommitted or overwhelmed.
- Maintains realistic expectations of an outcome.

AMICABLE & CHIVALROUS. Coran is kind, thoughtful, respectful, open, and has a strong sense of community. One-on-one or in a crowd, he does his best to make those around him feel included. He also makes a conscious effort to put others at ease through polite attentiveness. All the while, promoting trust and fellowship through hospitality and family tradition. Coran is genuine and forthright, with a generally giving nature and positive attitude. He uses his observation skills for good, and is always close by with an open ear when a listener is needed. He has a deeply ingrained sense of duty to help when and where he can, even if it requires personal sacrifice to do so. He can be relied on to behave appropriately in social settings, and also has a tendency to try and spin mundane situations into a humorous light. He's one of the first to make a joke and can elevate an existing quip by adding another layer in its hilarity. Quick-witted, he will never pass up an opportunity to insert a one-liner, even if it is simply for his own entertainment. While he himself is a kind-hearted individual- he will often grow flustered when kindness is returned to him. He will almost always feel compelled to refuse a gift or insist on repaying the kindness in some way, shape, or form. He is also commonly known to decline help or won't admit it when it's needed.
- Makes an effort to be available to others at any hour of the day.
- Always phrases things in the nicest way possible.
- Avoids and disdains the "easy laugh"- a joke without much thought.
- Often shows an active interest in the lives of others, frequently asking questions to keep them engaged.

RESILIENT & RESOURCEFUL. Coran enjoys challenges and new experiences and is certainly at ease with change. During stressful moments, he keeps any volatile emotions in check and proceeds logically. When problems arise, he will go to great lengths to come up with a result that is fair, based on the facts presented. He chooses to focus on the solution and how best to anticipate an outcome- and if things come down to the wire, he is not opposed to an answer that is unorthodox or unconventional. In social manners, it is his goal to remain impartial to the best of his ability. He is content to work alongside others, lead, or carry on independently; whichever is needed to achieve the common goal. He is a quick thinker and is definitely capable of keeping his head when others may lose theirs.
- Whole-heartedly believes there is always an answer, even if a situation seems impossible.
- Tends to hold onto things that may one day come in handy.
- Refuses to invest in labels or stereotypes.
- Strives to have a basic understanding of everything, rather than having finely tuned specialties.

HONORABLE & DEDICATED. The centerfold of his personality is his moral compass. Coran does what he believes to be right, no matter what the cost is to himself. He has no trouble with putting personal ego aside and will always behave with complete transparency. In the case of right and wrong, he tries to view the world in black and white. He believes good people can make mistakes, but there are lessons to be learned to ensure those mistakes don't happen again. In this line of thinking, he has no problem being able to intelligently and logically defend his point of view. And while he doesn't blindly trust strangers, he wants to believe in them- and to say that he has never been taken advantage of because of this would be false. Most importantly- he is devoted to the relationships and individuals he's closest to. Meaning he is willing to stand for- and by- his loved ones, and is comfortable weathering anything that is thrown in his path because of this. He is oftentimes also happy to defer to others, allowing them to take credit for his contributions. He's happy to be involved in a process that leads to something good and is satisfied to play a part without a share in recognition. Coran is trustworthy and works hard to provide. He is always willing to do what needs to be done in order to satisfy obligations. While he is playful by nature, oftentimes that is forgotten because it can be difficult for him to let go and have fun.
- Has a very strong sense of loyalty to his family, and to Valhalla.
- Would never ask someone to do something that he himself wouldn't do.
- Doesn't mind completing tasks that no one else wants to do.
- Becomes frustrated when someone fails to do something that they claimed they would.

VIGILANT & THOROUGH. Coran maintains the ability to drive out negative self-talk along with external distractions in order to get down to work. He takes himself and his tasks seriously and thinks big in terms of what challenges he is interested in taking on. He strives for a certain standard in everything that he does. His determination to achieve his goal translates into a strong work ethic. He is a strong planner, that is reliable, detail-oriented, and is dedicated to seeing a project through to the end despite any setbacks that may occur. That being said, Coran is connected to his environment and does his best to remain aware of shifting dynamics. If there is a threat of danger, he is doing his best to anticipate the path of least resistance. He looks before he leaps, thinks before he acts, and is more concerned with safety- and avoiding sticky situations- than what others may think of his attention to detail. Unfortunately, this dedication to the 'details' can become all-consuming to the point where other areas in his life may become neglected. The bar of expectation that he sets for himself and others can be so high, it becomes unrealistic.
- Has a strong distaste for surprises, and would much rather prefer to know what was coming.
- Appreciates structure and planning.
- Always prefers to get started on a task right away rather than procrastinating.
- Operates on logic, but also pays attention to intuition.
