]
Pets: Blue flitter, Topaz.
Appearance: Standing at 6'0 he is lean and rangy, long limbed, still a bit gawky nearing the end of adolescence. He has the rangy, strong legs of a runner and broad shoulders of a swimmer, with a lean musculature and will likely fill out, grow into a nice figure of a man. He is strong and fit with his previous as a runner - running and rider runners has helped, as did being a Candidate and Weyrling.
Unusual green eyes with gold hazel flecks, long eyelashes and naturally thin, fine eyebrows are nice to look at and are his stand out feature. The gold flecks seem to sparkle with his good humour and sense of mischief and fun and flash when he is angry.
Dark brown hair is shoulder length and the longer ends hanging in his eyes, which he flicks out by either blowing upward in a quirky habit or brushing it behind his ear if it is loose. He usually wears it tied back with a rawhide tie to keep it out of the way.
He is colour blind although you wouldn't know it and is ambidextrous.
He has small cinnamon coloured freckles scattered over his cheeks, forehead and nose - they are barely noticeable until you are up close to him, as they tend to blend into his skin tone.
His nose has a slight bump in it from being broken.
He moves with a slow, unhurried pace, as if he has all the time in Pern.
He has a cross shaped raised scar the the back of his hand from a brand that he and his blood brother both gave to each other to cement their bond as chosen blood brothers.
He is not a fast sprinter, but has built up strength and endurance - so he is a marathon runner, and so is lean, eats a lot and burns up alot of energy, riding or running to carry messages or in the physical tasks of a Candidate and new Weyrling, so is always eating and has a habit of carrying sweets and dried meat with him for energy.
General Attire:He likes bold, bright colours but comfortable. light fabric clothes, like most young lads it must be hard wearing and affordable, as he doesn't come from a rich family or anything. He tends to have rips and tears in alot of his clothes from his clumsyness and accidents, plus he drops things on them as well. He is the one with sauce on his shirt....
He is fond of colourful bandannas and scarfs - as he collects the former and knits the latter - giving them away as gifts or selling the odd good one for marks..
Personality: Friendly he tends to be quite out going. He is laid back with a lively sense of humour and not above a bit of mischievous fun, a harmless prank or joke. He is 100% devoted and loyal to his fellow Weyrlings, dragon, friends, family Weyr. He is equally protective of the same.
Hard working, practical and full of common sense he is happy taking command of a group or following, as long as the doing the leading is making sense and worthy of his respect. He hates rudeness, lateness, disrespect and time wasters when assigned to a task.
He can be a bit grumpy first thing in the morning and can be a bit temperamental, with a temper of sorts if his pride or his dragon's is hurt or someone he cares for is hurt. He hates bullying and will stand up to anything of that sort. He has his own honour and self worth, totally trust worthy and honest, he can't lie to save himself, to the point a small white lie might save him on occasion.
He has a tolerant, understanding streak for difference, being bisexual himself. He loves sweets, being particularly fond of hard candies and bubbly pies.
History: The only son, born late in life to a Master Runner Captain and his wife at a Runner Station attached to Southern Hold. The couple struggled to have children, despite some sad attempts in that direction, the couple had given up and it seemed, then his mother got pregnant, and after an easy labour, he was born. He was well loved and appreciated, but not spoilt, as his parents weren't well off and had to attend their duties. He too was expected to carry messages, on foot and on runner back as soon as he was capable of such responsibility and ability. He officially apprenticed at 12 and made it to Journeyman at 18.
Being an only child he could have been lonely, as few children are born into Runner Stations, but he quickly became friends with a local Hold-Bred lad, who came from Southern Hold. The lad was the local Woodcrafter's son and so was often out and about with his father, cutting down trees and delivering wood on a cart pulled by an old, sleepy runner.
The pair were alike and became close, even developing into a very close brotherly platonic relationship, becoming blood brothers as they officially apprenticed to their crafts, he to the Runners, Zhack to the Woodcrafters. The pair remained close, seeing each other wherever possible, and confiding their secrets, that he himself was developing into a bisexual and Zhack gay.
A turn later, on his 19th birthing day to be exact, he was on a message delivery run and happened to be at Southern Weyr with a hardening clutch on the Sands that he was Searched.
To say he would become a Candidate was a real surprise to him, sure like all Pern lads he had dreamed of riding a bronze dragon. But he had put away dreams of Impressing, away with childhood...hadn't he?
He thought at 19 he was well past a child's wish of Impressing a dragon and didn't think they would want an older lad..but apparently dragons _did_ want him. The Search dragon had been very insistent and had had a very high success rate on her Candidates..
So he did jump on the chance to follow an opportunity to Impress a dragon. He went home to his Runner Station, packed up his gear, waved good bye to his busy, but loving parents and returned on runner back to the Weyr.
Once there he found a surprise: his blood brother and best friend had also been Searched by a Search party that had gone to Southern Hold looking for Candidates. He was so happy to find that his blood brother and best friend had also been Searched, the two returned to being constant companions. One was never seen, without the other, it was a good chance to catch up as the pair had been apart with their respective crafts most of the time...
He really enjoyed the physical challenge of the hard work that Candidates are required to do. Being Hold-bred he really had no real idea of Weyr life. He met and became friends with a younger, but Weyrbred lad named Ferren. Friendship and attraction blossomed between the two and began. His first real relationship really, as he had been too busy to indulge in love or sex, and his parents had raised him to be traditional in his relationships, to not indulge in casual sex. He had admitted his strong bisexuality to his parents, who surprisingly had accepted and were there proudly for him on Hatching Day. Life among Runners was a little different to other Hold-bred people, but other then that had told no one but Zhack and Ferren. So while finding himself in a relationship with a guy took some getting used to, he is fine with it and challenges anybody to give himself or his lover a hard time.
Hatching Day arrived and he found not only did he Impress, a petite Green/DarkBlue sweetheart that hatched from an egg he had been drawn to the second he had stood on those hot sands. His lover also Impressed a Jungle and his best friend also Impresssed a Purple female.
Happy that the trio would both start a new adventure together as Weyrlings. The couple have been cautioned by the Weyrlingmaster to put the physical side of the relationship aside for the time being. So the 2 abide by the rules, and are still affectionate and clearly a couple. Friends as well, so that helps.
But due to the large size of the clutch they all came from and the newest clutch just recently Hatched at Southern, it was decided that some of the more responsible, older Weyrlings, could be transferred to other Weyrs that were in need of riders. So M'kell and Serrath has been sent to Ice Stone Weyr, along with Z'ac and Purple Mylanth. His lover, F'ren and his Jungle were sent to Waterfall Valley Weyr.
He is enjoying being a Weyrling and watching Serrath grow, but he misses his lover, but is happy his blood brother is with him, as always.
Dragon's Name: Serrath
Dragon’s Gender:
Female
Dragon's Age:
1.5 years
Dragon's Color:
Green/DarkBlue
Clutch Mother/Clutch Father: Silver Eleriath and Bronze Yaltath of Southern Weyr
Dragon's Appearance:
At 28 meters large for a green, but mid-range for a DarkBlue, her figure is petite and compact, with sleek, dainty muscle and feminine lines. Her wings span is long and narrow so she is able to do some pretty impressive acrobatics and get into really narrow, small places. She will run some spectacularly acrobatic Flights when she is old enough, which should be any day now actually.. she is showing signs of being an early Riser with her green characteristics.
Colour wise she is a deep, glossy jade green uniformly covering her soft, sleek, well cared for hide, her wings and shoulders look like they were dipped in DarkBlue.
She has great sharp eye sight, hearing and sense of smell - she seems to have inherited some older more primitive instincts from somewhere - and is very at the mercy of her senses in that senses. It can be a strength and a weakness that she sees, smells and hears things other dragons often are unable to, she will make a great Sweep and Watch dragon, but can get distracted by it as well.
She has a small scar on her chin and throat, as she had an accident at the end of her first flying lesson, she fell face forward into a small tree on landing..she is quite proud of it, as it is testimony to what a flier she is..
Dragon's Personality: She is smart, observant and opinionated, but serious and stoic when the occasion calls for it, as follows her DarkBlue side. But she is sensitive and intuitively astute following the Green- which all make her a very good Sweep and Watch dragon, nothing will miss her sharp eyes or ears..and her daring acrobatics will mean she will dive after anything and catch it..
This dragon loves flying, she loves acrobatics and takes great pride in showing off her tricks to people.
She is fiercely loyal, very loving and sincere, especially where it comes to her Rider, she adores him, would do anything for him and this might be why she faints and can't cope with her rider's bleeding or getting injured, she would die for him or kill for him if the need call for it. She turns into a lioness, ready to defend her hatchling, she has come to blows with healers trying to get to her injured rider, once she has recovered from her faint...the trick is to get in quickly in the few seconds she has fainted...
Curiosity is the other thing that makes up this dragon- very curious - and likes to discuss her ideas, feelings and curiosities with her rider but to everyone else outside her rider she is a very private dragon. She rarely talks to anyone else, dragon or person, prefers to observe and listen in.
She is prickly with those she doesn't know and has an independent, slight rebellious streak in her. She too must respect her leaders, she is not one to leap straight into battle on a wave of passion, her DarkBlue nature shows itself and she must get clear, rational orders or suggestions and does the same herself. She resents being told what to do and will grumble about it. Ask nicely..there's no harm in asking..if forced to she can show a bit of temper, but will obey ranking dragons.
She is not above being demanding herself though, especially in areas regarding grooming and being clean, not above tartly suggesting her rider freshen up at times..
Dragon's History: She is a Southern born dragon and is still young, but she has great potential to be a very speedy, acrobatic flyer and fighter should there be a need for it.
She is a very private dragon and outside of her clutch siblings, parents and Weyrlingmaster has spoken to no one byt her rider. Her Flights will be tests of who can match her. She is a good match for her rider.
She is already showing attention and interest in male dragons so will likely be an early riser as well and as yet, the decision on whether she should chew firestone or not is still being made by her rider, herself and her WLM. It is possibly she could be capable of being fertile and having clutches..but nobody is sure yet..
