Weyrmate: Winter, 23, Wher handler of Wood Winsk at RMW
Friends: none
Appearance: Standing at 5’7 B’van isn’t the tallest guy around Pern, but he’s just above average, he has an average build leaning towards broad shouldered and is nicely muscular without being bulky. He is stronger than he looks and fast, as he moves with a quick, long legged stride and can move softly, without making any noise.
His looks tend towards rugged as he is frequently wearing a shadow beard on his square jaw, his straight nose was broken once or twice, he has a thin scar through his bottom lip down his chin, one of his front teeth his chipped and the rest are just slightly crooked. But not badly, enough that his rare smile is crookedly charming. His short tawny hair is frequently shaggy and overly in need of a cut and comb through. It is often doubly mussed as he has a habit of rubbing his fingers or knuckles against his head when he is thinking or stressed. His clear blue eyes have a slight short sighted squint under a furrowed brow always creased with thinking and his skin is tanned, almost weathered despite relative age from his outdoor lifestyle and pursuits.
He collects knives and daggers - since he was a small boy and his brother gave him his first, a simple knife with a bone inlaid silver hilt and a ruby the shade of Bevsk that he wears at his hip. He has 6 in total, all about his person somewhere….
along with his short sword.
He whittles in his spare time and has been known to hum tunelessly to himself when he’s happy or working quietly away at some task..
Personality: Cautious, a bit of a loner and quite independant, he is something of a deep thinker and philosophers. Something that would seem to clash with his more rugged appearnce and his chosen profession. But he is quite logical and clear headed, he thinks things through but can also size up a situation and make a decision in a hurry as well, he's a good leader in this sense. Good at stratergy and planning, but can be impulsive and run on the seat of his pants if need be, although he prefers the former.
He is persistent and can be called too serious and solemn but this base nature is. As mentioned he is a thinker and worrier, tending to spend. A natural loner and solitary type, he prefers his own company and has a restless, wanderer in his spirit. He is strong willed and has a strong back bone. He has his own personal sense of honour and a wry wit at times and possess a surprisingly hot temper, sharp tongue and doesn’t stand for fools or wimps.
He can be quiet in company, only speaking when he has something to say as well and has natural leader ability, like his dragon he has a no nonsense tough side and hard working. He is often the first to rise and the last to go to bed.
He listens well and can handle himself well in a fight, he doesn't hesitate to involve himself in conflicts, fights or tackle hard situations, his own, or his partners..
In money matters, he seems to have good luck and always managed to find work, he might not be wealthy as such, but he gets buy: anyone in his care don't have to worry - they'll always be able to lay their hands on money when they need it.
He is also honest, faithful to those he cares for and sincere. He respects tradition and values promises, and enjoys helping people. He can be stubbourn and righteous, and is always is the first to speak out against injustice.
History: Bevan doesn’t know he is the illegitimate son of a Wingleader from High Reaches and a promiscuous, social climbing woman who worked in the Weyr kitchens from Telgar. As neither parent wanted anything to do with the small male child he was dumped in the Weyr creche at High Reaches. With no idea of his parentage except that he was illegitimate he was often isolated and alone.
The only companion the young boy had growing up was the local stable lad known as Winter, as he too been abandoned as a baby on the Weyr doorstep. It wasn’t until he was 8 that he met his older brother, who happened to be have finished his Journeyman Healer training and had moved to the Weyr on a dragonhealer post. Outraged that his kin had been abandoned Sh’nny took over looking after him and brought him back to his weyr.
Both boys were naturally drawn,, as boys are want to be to the local fighters and guards and it was under the suggestion of his brother that both boys began training with weapons and hand to hand combat, and experienced using flamethrowers to work with ground crews during Thread. With the aim that they would probably go into work as travelling guards, protecting tithe trains and travelling merchants or Holdbred Lord and Ladies.
This was exactly what happened - by 18 they were partners, working as hired guards, and thinking it a smart idea both boys, still sticking together as they always did, decided to pool their funds and purchases egg, with the Wood baby wher bonding with Winter and Bevan's egg heralding a crazy Black/Crimson (m) flit.
Having to deal with an overly aggressive, berserker flit and a shy vegetarian wher meant the fighters lost easy, well paying jobs, as the reputation of his flit for causing trouble and attacking anything that moved, including once a dragon or 2 and the merchant he was supposed to be protecting..lost them "high quality" jobs, and they had to start taking higher risk jobs. Along the way what had been a lifelong friendship with Winter, grew into something else and the pair became romantic as well as business partners..they quietly partner committed.
Time working with and training Scar has corralled him into a fairly good fighter and scout, but he can only be controlled by his handler, and even then he is still rough with his person.
The pair returned to High Reaches hoping for Bevan to be accepted as a Wher candidate. There was a clutch on the Sands and it happened to be Hatching Day, Bevan and Winter were sitting in the Stands watching the Hatching when an Tiger King hatched, third last and marched straight up to the stands, calling up to Bevan.
..and he became B’van to one Tiger King Samiath…
Too late to give the dragon back now….B’van gave an almighty sigh - so he was to be a dragonrider like his brother, at the advanced age of 22 he should have been too old. But apparently not, according to Samiath...
He and Sam have recently graduated and are wanting to transfer down to Rainbow Falls to be closer to his brother, they have been accepted.
Adoption?: I don’t mind him being adopted or put into NPC status
Dragon's Name: Samiath
Dragon’s Gender: Male
Birthdate: 73/2/16
Dragon sire/dam:
Dragon's Age: 3
Dragon's Color: Tiger
Dragon's Appearance: At 41 feet with a wide, long wingspan, that is double the size of his body, long, lean, almost skinny frame and long, almost too long for his body, tail. ON the ground he is often a bit clumsy, gawky and all wings, tail and tripping everywhere like a penguin on land - it’s not till he gets in the sky - that he is the true aerial dancer that he is - graceful, fast, a powerful glider - he can stay in the air for candlemarks at a time, barely moving his wings, surfing the thermals, lazily circling, high over the Weyr and his rider that he likes to keep an eye on, or over the sea - something they both love - spending hours gliding over the ocean together…
he is often on his own out there..something he tolerates and is used to, as he knows his rider has to control an unruly wher and flit on the ground..but when they can be together - it's like magic..a true gift
Colour wise he's pale, pale tawny-orange, almost the shade of puma with think, subtle mesh like patterns of black stripes on his body. The undersides of his wings are deep reddish orange, while the tops have solid black striping.
Dragon's Personality: Sam as he is affectionately known to his rider he tends to be patient, wise, sensible dragon with a lively sense of humour and is 100% devoted and loyal to his rider, protective of and completely loyal to his rider he will do anything for. HE has an independent streak a mile wide - he has no desire for a Queen, a Weyr of his own or a wing to lead, he just wants to be free, he has such an independent, free spirit, but at the same time he is brave, he won't hesitant to back his rider up in a fight, defend territory or guard.
He has the strategic, logical, calm thinking under stress - often becoming the mediator in their little clan. He is charming and has a playful, loving side, is quite tactile and affectionate, seeming to always like touching his rider or being physically or mentally close to him.
Like his rider,he is honest, faithful and sincere. Like most Tigers he is a daring fighters, capable of standing up to the better end for what they he thinks is right.
Dragon's History: A Tiger King he was born at High Reaches Weyr and was 3rd last to be born. He chose his rider from the Stands and he is very close to his rider. He is very tacticle and affectionate liking to be in constant company and contact with his rider.
He is a brave and courageous dragon, he is a good fighter and leader, but he is young and untried yet, he is also very independant, and so far shows no loyalty to any beyond his rider.
Not wanting anyone to know of his dragon, the young wher handler got his older brother to help him raise the dragon and train them both. They dragonrider pair are a secret, no one bar Winter and Sh'nny know...he just passes himself off as a hired guard duo...
