Name: K’nan (Konan)
Pronunciation: Kuh-nahn (Co-nan)
Gender: Male
Age: 23 Turns
Turnday: Turn 3050.07.21
Weyr: Rainbow Mists Weyr
Rank: BronzeRider
Family:
Father - K'gal - Deceased, rider of Brown Lestrenayeth
Mother - Nyrra - Weyrfolk
Sister - Koga (18 Turns)
Weyrmate: None
Friends: Um… People at RMW?
Pets: None
Appearance: K'nan is a tall, wire muscled, ruggedly handsome young man. The set of his jaw, the countours of his face, the set of his nose, crooked from an accident he had as a child, all add to this particular appearance. His blue eyes have a steely, distant cast to them, one that can turn gentle and kind with ease at times. His skin is a tanned color, one that has been achieved through both time in the sun and the genetics of his family. He bares a considerable number of freckles across his nose, cheekbones, arms, and shoulders. His blond hair is a medium toned blond, messy and cut short. However, he doesn't much care for haircuts and may conveniently forget, allowing his hair to become longer, shaggy, sometimes falling down into his eyes. He sometimes won't get it cut until someone sees fit to tell him it’s that time of year.
The way he stands shows a great deal of dignity and strength that translates to his gate. He can, however, relax and, when all is calm, he will often relax the way he stands, still standing rather straight, almost seeming unable to slouch. However, you can visibly see the fact that his body has relaxed. He will smile easily and congenially. His grin is somewhat lopsided, but endearing as well.
His general clothing choices are whatever is best suited to the situation he is in. He tends to prefer to wear his riding gear or work clothes. However, despite the situations he is in, he always seems to come across as calm and in control.
Personality: K'nan has rather commanding and steady presence. He gives of a quiet and calm air that gives people a relaxing feeling. His presence is steady and gives off an air of confidence and strength which is even more of an asset to those around him than himself at times. He is kind by nature and looks out for others, although his presence can be very unobtrusive unless he announces himself. K'nan is very careful about how, when, and what he says as well as to who. His words are generally clear, well spoken, and when anything is formal, precise and controlled as needed. However, he wasn't always this way. When he was growing up, he was far from calm. He was mischievous, excitable, and had too much energy for his own good. And horribly prideful. However, this changed over time. Maturity often comes with age. Over time, he grew into a steady presence that was permeated with strength.
He often has a somewhat fatherly or big brother like air. He often gets along well with the young people around him. He enjoys being able to teach those around him something, especially when he can teach it in a way that they will enjoy it. He will often look after those who need it. He is always thoughtful, weighing his actions and the possibilities. However, he may take too long in doing so and often needs his dragon to hurry the process along. He holds himself with an air of dignity, which may be no surprise considering he is a BronzeRider. Despite his tendency towards the serious, he does have a fun loving, and tender nature that will show when he is around those he cares for more often than the Weyr as a whole, though the Weyr as a whole may be privy to it at times.
History: K'nan was born to Nyrra, a woman who lived and worked in the Weyr after having been searched and, sadly, not impressing. She still resides in the Weyr which she had been searched to so many years ago as a young girl of 16 Turns. She stood and, sadly did not impress. She was, also, badly mauled so that half her face and one shoulder is covered in scars. However, she met someone there who didn't care about her scars, but came to love her for the person she was. His name was K'gal and he had impressed to a lovely Brown the hatching before the one which she had stood in and been mauled in. This young rider would, later, be the father of two children by this woman, first K'nan, or Konan, and, later, Koga.
However, shortly after Koga's birth, he was injured and, sadly, did not make it. He passed away just a month or so after Koga's birth.
Konan had been a carefree youth for so long. When Koga was born, he was only 5 Turns. His mother had insisted on raising them both, so he was somewhat jealous when he suddenly had someone to compete with for his mother's attention... He was only five when his father died, but he remembered him as a good, kind man who always treated his mother well and loved him. He would play games with him and let him help with his dragon... Then the change at 5 Turns with his mother sobbing and his father never again seen... And Koga...
For several Turns he resented Koga... Until she was about two turns and he was about seven turns - two years after his father's death. He started to like being around her - playing with her... He started being more like a big brother and somewhat like a father to her... They did just about everything together - playing in the sun and watching the riders and dragons. Playing with firelizards - neither of them had one.
Then Konan was old enough to stand. He didn't impress the first or second time... But the third time... Even though no one believed he would, against all odds, he impressed a Bronze – one that promised to be somewhat large. His name was Embraeth...
K'nan grew up, and so did his now large Bronze. Since then, he has remained at RMW and cared for his sister and mother.
Dragon's Name: Embreath
Dragon’s Gender: Male
Dragon's Age: 7 Turns
Dragon's Color: Bronze (665D1E)
Dragon's Appearance: He is a rather rich tone of Bronze, nothing too special. However, he is rather large with particularly large, sweeping wings. He bears a scar beneath his right eye from the day of his hatching (explained below). He is often noted for his seeming expression of quiet thoughtfulness, which can be hard to see on a dragon...
Dragon's Personality: Embraeth sometimes has a tendency to act first and ask questions or think later in certain situations. In normal situations, however, he is generally very calm and thoughtful. He rarely participates in the shenanigans of others, though he does like to have good conversation. He, too, has a more fun - loving, tender side and tends to look after those around him, though he tends to come off as somewhat strict in certain situations, being somewhat fatherly in the respect (ie. Disciplining an erring child), although, he is always highly dignified. He often kind and reassuring when there is a need and has an air of aloof nobility. His overall disposition is kind. He does have a temper at times, which he does not often lose and, when he does, it is often a rather showy display.
Dragon's History: A little Bronze rolled onto the sands, his sides heaving as he tried to get up - his much larger Bronze brother angrily hissing at him. Wasn't it enough that he had knocked him down as soon as he had hatched? Not even given him a chance to truly leave his shell? He cried out as he felt something sink into the soft hide of his neck. Then the other was being pushed away. He saw the neck of his Golden mother above him and the other Bronze now laying on his side. His mother sent him off with a croon and he rose shakily to his feet, a thin line of ichor along the side of his neck, the tooth having caught him just below the eye... But he thought he had found him already. Found HIS. ~K'nanMine! Let make the pain stop!~ he called, imediately wanting this to stop, instinctively knowing it wasn't good. ~And then food...?~ he said as the boy left the sands with him. K'nan smiled.
Embraeth grew and learned much. He was well cared for by his Rider and his sister who helped care for the young dragonet as he grew. He loved Koga as much as K'nan did and would often look after her, cheering her on. They both grew and performed their duties, neither befalling any particularly horrifying accidents. He was always looking after his Rider and his family.
He is now seven Turns of age and has yet to show any interest in participating in a Flight. K'nan has often complained that he is very fickle, which he is... But that doesn't really bother either of them... They're both fickle...
K'nan and Embraeth both are often found just sitting in the sun or around others, listening, only saying something when they have something particular to say and have mulled it over a good deal...
