PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Hugh is well...huge. He's tall and well-built, thick corded muscle along his limbs and back, and traps for days. Since it's attained mostly from working anyway, Hugh is left to have a steady diet of wine, beer and calzones. He's barrel-chested, and strength exudes from his physique. His mop of dark maroon hair, and similar albeit thinner patches on his chest belly and limbs.

If he isn't wearing his coveralls for work, he's probably at home lounging all day in sweats and a tank. But that isn't to say he won't drop everything to get dressed to go out if need be.

PERSONA
Much like fire, Hugh is always ready to burn. In the 'Go' phase. He'd drop whatever he was doing in a red hot second if someone he cared for needed him for absolutely anything. Text him at 3 in the morning because you're drunk and think donuts were the best thing the world, he'd skeddadle for it in no time at all. Don't mistake his kindness for weakness, he's makes it pretty clear on people he likes and those he doesn't. Hugh is excitable and outgoing, and loves to have a good time when there's a good time to be had.

When he isn't easy smiles, he's opinionated and bull-headed, letting his emotions get the better of him. Letting him get flared up, is ill-advised.

- Things! -
- Dancing. Hugh looooves to dance. The guy, admittedly, is not the best dancer, but he loves to a opportunity to get down. He always has music playing while he's working, either out loud or being enjoyed through some head phones.

- Calzones are love. They're life.

- Loves dogs! Well, any animal. But especially dogs.  He'd drop everything in his arms to go and pet a stranger's dog regardless of what he was doing. If you have a dog and he's talking to you, chances are it's because of your dog.

- Peaches. Loves peaches. You're a peach, they're a peach, he's a peach. Everyone's a peach. If he starts calling everyone a peach, he's probably really drunk.

MAGIC/ABILITIES
PYROKINETIC:
Hugh's talent for pyrokinesis seems to stem on a prodigy level. His talent for creating heat and manipulating fire caused his dragon to decide welding work was the perfect placement for him. He can still get burned if he's not paying attention and the patches of hair missing from his arms are a testament to that.  Yet he loves what he does and can't see himself doing anything else. (Although if drunk and pressed, he'd admit if he wasn't a Pilot, he'd probably end up being a dancer).

RELATIONSHIPS
Pilot Noble Serenity Silinrul - Friend, and technically he's her assistant. Loves referring to her as 'Siren'
Annette McConway – Mother, Status: ALIVE (for now)
Jeanie McConway – Eldest Sister, Status: ALIVE (unfortunately)
Branden McConway – Eldest Brother, Status ALIVE (unfortunately)

Balthasar
A larger dragon, just under standard elephant size, with a bulky-barrel chest and thick neck with fluxing ventilation ports on the sides of his neck. He has a crown of horns along his brow line and all along his forehead that extend upward in two rows of parallel spines. He has two compartments installed on either side of his torso that hold most of Hugh's tools, the heavier ones anyway, and keep them locked away safely.

HISTORY
Hugh grew up with the best goddamn mother anyone could ask for. Middle-level Adstreia wasn't too bad, and having three mouths to feed was one hell of a damn chore, but Annette did the best she could. He's never once wondered who his father was, nor does he care since the guy didn't seem to care enough to stick around.

Graduating from Candidacy gave Hugh the resources to get his mother the help she needed when her mind began to fail her. She has good days and bad days, and Hugh spends whatever time he isn't working with her. Moving her from Adstreia to Haviah was costly, but worth it, just so that he could be close to her.
