۞Before the Weyr_______________________________________
Born into a caring family with generations of weavers and a few oddballs that went into other crafts, Azylrin had no qualms at learning his families craft. He wasn't so good when it came to stitching or embroidery, but he had a fascination for the beautiful colors that were created as dyes for the fabrics and yarn that his mother and sisters used. His father was of journeyman rank and specialized in the dyes himself. And it was like his father that Azylrin wanted to be. Though he would never be quite as proud as Amrinz was. But he admired his father greatly and hoped to one day, maybe be like him. As for his mother and two oldest sisters, they always surprised him with the lovely things they created at their looms. It just seemed right to him, with his sisters following in their mother's footsteps, for him to follow in his fathers. So he began to learn the process of creating dyes and dying fabric.
Their family lived in a small two story structure with the first level being a homely little craft shop that sold blankets, select garments, and offered to repair clothes. Upstairs was their living space. A little tight, but they never complained. At least not until his oldest sister, Zyrin, was married and her husband decided to join their family in the weavercraft business. Not ones to ever turn down help, Amrinz and Zyraa welcomed their home to their new son-in-law. He was a quick learner and found himself working along side father and son in the dying process.
Then, not three turns later, with Azylrin now considered an apprentice in his craft, they found themselves being of service to a rider. One that they found out had been flying on Search. She hadn't intentionally come looking in the shop for any potential candidates - really, she was looking to see about purchasing a couple blankets and maybe a nice top for special occasions - and was surprised when her dragon informed her that Azylrin had potential. Startled by this news, Azylrin had fallen straight into shy and quiet mode while his family discussed eagerly what all this possibility entailed. The rider explained it a couple times, answering any and all questions before speaking to Azylrin herself. It was his choice after all. She even took him down to where her green lazed about waiting for her bonded to finish with errands. Gazing at the lovely green, Azylrin started to feel a chance arise. A chance to make his father proud. Be like him. Though it wouldn't quite be in the same fashion.
After speaking with the greenrider and her dragon, Azylrin went back and talked it over with his family. It was a universal agreement that they felt he should go. Having a son Stand would bring his parents such joy, even if he didn't Impress. It was more so because of their looks and bubbling happiness that Azylrin agreed and accepted this unimagined chance to Stand on the sands and see a Hatching. His confidence in himself made it hard for him to believe he would ever Impress, but he would be just as happy to witness such an event even if it didn't happy for him. And after that, if he walked away dragonless, he could always return home. So, with this plan in mind, he accepted and secretly hoped to just maybe find himself with a dragon partner one day soon.

۞The Rider_______________________________________
Name: Az'rin (formerly Azylrin)
Nickname: Rin, Az
Age: 19 21
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight-ish
Craft: Weavercraft - Dyer
Rank: Apprentice
Physical Description: The first and most noticeable thing about this boy is his height. He is short. Really short. Barely breaches 5'4". And no, he is not a 'late bloomer'. He really is that short. Something that he will not appreciate being reminded of. Short, shaggy blonde-brown hair frames a lean face with two doleful grey eyes. He also has a smattering of freckles along his nose and cheeks. Where others his age are more lean and built like a runner, he's got more 'fluff' to him, though it's not anything considered overweight. Just a little chunkier in a cute way. His skin is nicely tanned (like beach tan) and is clean with hardly any marks on it. He always makes an effort to appear nicely groomed (except his hair...it sort of does it's own thing) when in public. Usually his attire will consist of slightly baggy pants that don't constrict his movement. A light undershirt with either a vest or pullover shirt of a slightly thicker material from the undershirt are most common for upper wear. It's never tight or form-fitting though. Just slightly lose but never overly large. And, depending on the days activities, he has a nice pair of sturdy boots to wear around for the messier chores or things that require a good amount of walking or simple sandals to wear around the barracks and Weyr when not working on chores.
Personality: Definitely not one of those boys you would call arrogant or mean. Actually quite the opposite. The best words used to describe Azylrin would be 'huggable stuffed toy'. He is a very sweet and easily approachable guy rarely having a temper. Also very kind and gives most people a chance no matter their attitude, beliefs, or rank. Azylrin just doesn't really know how to act besides being sweet and kind when around other people. However he does have a shy side to him. Especially when their are girls around. One could almost go as far as to say he is intimidated by them. Except he seems to show the same sort of shyness around guys too. Though not quite as extreme when there are females around. But once he feels a little more comfortable around people (male or female), he brightens and falls right into that huggable personality.
If there is one thing - aside from his sweetness - that Azylrin is good at, it's helping people. He loves to be of help whenever he can and will offer such when he feels that it might be welcomed. After all, Azylrin is still quite shy and won't be that boy that waltz's up to someone new and immediately offers his assistance. He still has to warm up to the company around him first. However if he sees someone struggling that he's never met before, Azylrin will find himself asking if they need any assistance before he realizes what he's doing. Only in those situations can you find the shy boy offering to help, let alone speaking to a new acquaintance without the preliminary shyness. However, his love in helping others can be seen as annoying as he asks so frequently. Some people may not appreciate it or feel he's insinuating something by making it seem like they have to have help in order to get a task completed. When this occurs, Azylrin lapses into an overly shy and silent upset state.
Almost on the same level as his love for helping people, Azylrin is very easily upset. He lacks self-confidence in himself on most days, though he doesn't realize quite yet that that is what he really feels. For him, he just sees himself on the bad days as a big fat cry baby. Which only upsets him more. All one really has to do is say something derogatory or curse at him and Azylrin will get upset. He won't show it outwardly right away, but he'll quickly excuse himself to find someplace secluded so he can have a few private moments to himself. In addition to typical name calling or being generally 'mean', Azylrin also sensitive over any negative talk about the Holds and crafthalls. He is not of the Weyr and doesn't know if some of the negativity he's heard before towards them is true, just angry words being flung in that general direction, or if they just don't like the Holds. He will admit that this does not happen often, but the rare occasions it does it's guaranteed that he'll be in some secluded spot for a few moments (or candlemarks).
Another word that could possibly describe Azylrin at times would be clingy. He grows very fond and attached to people that treat him nicely. And any friends he develops he'll be unwaveringly devoted to. He may not be a social butterfly a majority of the time but he does enjoy being in a social crowd. And having friends or people that he knows real well and doesn't have any problems speaking to are highly valued in his mind. It shouldn't be a surprise to figure that anyone who uses him and throws him to the whers when finished will just break his heart (metaphorically speaking). Having such a thing happen will wound the small bit of confidence he has and send him spiraling further down into the land of no confidence at all. He'll also grow almost obnoxiously shy for a time, not sure how to act after being burned. What's to stop everyone else from doing the same, anyways? Losing a friend will take a lot of time for this boy to heal from and twice as long for him to recover enough to seek out new friends. Some deep part of him hopes that maybe one day, with the right person, he won't have to rely so heavily on people like he currently does.
Captured a neat looking baby tunnelsnake recently? Going to go explore down a dark corridor when you're supposed to be in bed? Azylrin will be the one hiding under his bedfurs. He is a wimp. Plain and simple. But this is not to be mistaken for being an utter wuss. He just doesn't have it in him to be a fearless leader. And fights? Get in a fist fight or smack him around and Azylrin will try and look as submissive as possible. He doesn't like pain and he's scared of the dark. Anything that typically falls into one of those two categories will, by default, have Azylrin cowering off to the side. Preferably somewhere bright. With soft things around so if he falls from tripping while trying to escape, it won't hurt so much. This is something he is working hard to overcome. Or mostly overcome. He's getting better about not going utter wimp when he gets a scrape on his knee. But the dark? Yeah that sill has a long way to go.
Other/Talents:
***Can read and write - Learned this at a young age from his mother so he had something to do while she worked at the loom
**Knows how to sew minor things (like rips in clothing)
***Very good at mixing some colors for dyes [colors: green, blue, red, purple (only dark purples for now)]
***Totally scared of the dark /D

۞The Dragon_______________________________________
Colour: Blue
Age: 2
Text Colour: darkcyan
Personality: Qizixth is not a go-get-em Blue. He's your stereotypically sweet, wants-to-please Blue. He dislikes conflict and when confronted with it tends to go quiet and submissive and try to avoid whatever argument or chastisement is coming. By polite terms, he is the traditional silly Blue you might hear mentioned in Benden or one of the older, traditional weyrs. Those less than polite might call Qizixth a big baby. He isn't in the habit of fighting-- or fighting back, for that matter-- but when it comes to his rider he is passively protective: he might put himself in the line of tongue-lashing if it meant taking the pressure away from his rider or someone else he held dear. If something worse were to happen that Qizixth was unable to stop, such as his rider being physically hurt or intensely upset, Qizixth would panic and turn to the nearest source of strength: one of his stronger Clutchmates, like Firith or Adamanth, or one of his close friends. Though Qizixth can do nothing but be there, perhaps one of them has a better suggestion or their rider could step in to help His through the pain.
However, no beast can care the way Qizixth cares. Despite his inability to be strong in the face of adversity, this dragon can and will assist whoever needs assistance on whatever they need assistance on to the best of his ability. He never minds lending a hand-- or a tail-- to a task. He also wants his rider to be happy, first and foremost, and will do his best to encourage them in whatever direction he thinks will make them happiest or bring them the strongest peace of mind. If his rider is happy, Qizixth generally is.
Unfortunately, Qizixth does tend to be a bit of a premature panicker-- paranoid might be a better way to phrase it. Watch that ledge, mine, it doesn't look stable. If you don't triple check that harness, it might come loose during practice. I think Tormth looks down on me; doesn't it seem like that, mine? Mine, does it look like that Thread pattern has changed to you? It is going to take a great deal of soothing to keep Qizixth steady and make sure he isn't flying off the handle every time something new comes up. When it comes to nerves, make sure to keep Qizixth and Dranith far apart: there's only so much anxiety a weyr can take at once! It probably doesn't help that Qizixth has a tendency to babble when he's feeling particularly paranoid over an issue-- a habit his rider is going to have to learn how to shut down quickly if he doesn't want to hear his dragon getting to the point where his concerns stop making sense and start to border on hysteria.
The only thing to rival the size of this Blue's heart is his stomach. Qizixth has a particular weakness for eating and enjoying it, something that causes him endless embarrassment when another dragon notices and/or comments about it. This means that he will go out of his way to eat at odd hours, to minimize the amount of creatures who will notice his habits.
Why Me?
Well, mine, you were just... right. Although other Candidates felt like they could share or appreciate Qizixth's big heart, only Azylrin had that particular sweet desire to help others that would suit Qizixth's particular brand of caring. Although they will by no means be the strongest pair at the weyr, they are peculiarly suited in a submissive, open-hearted, timid kind of way. They can understand one another better if both of them are equally shy, equally helpful, and equally eager to avoid trouble, than if one of them were far too outgoing or strong. How can balance be achieved if Azylrin and Qizixth don't both have their own times to shine? (With support from their other half, of course.)
Qizixth will also be likely to encourage Azylrin to socialize with others and take the risk to make friends. After all, why would another rider hurt him? Don't they have dragons, too? Okay, he may not be super eloquent when he goes about it, but his timid and earnest trying should be enough to encourage the usually shy boy to accept advances from others-- and maybe make some of his own. What Qizixth wants most is for his rider to be happy and Azylrin is happiest when he's with people with which he is comfortable.

۞The Impression_______________________________________Impression As the green continued to snarl and started to stalk towards the female candidates the blue barrelled on towards the boys. He knocked through the ranks wherever the males were too slow to move out of his way (though he thankfully did no worse than bruise) and looked set to charge right the way through and up into the Stands. Abruptly however he skidded to a halt, and gave a shrill cry that somehow managed to combine relief and lingering panic. Turning around he hurried forward again, but slowly enough this time for everyone to get out of his way. As he drew closer to his target he gave a happy warble, finally catching up to Azylrin and giving the boy a gentle nuzzle. Oh Azylrin! Your Qizixth thought she was going to eat him! Let's go together now Mine, I've been missing you!Azylrin He quickly stepped out of the way of the blue who was definitely on a mission to get away from his green sibling. Azylrin felt terrible for the poor guy. He hadn't done anything and his green sister had come bursting out of her shell shrieking like a feline that had been caged too long. Or something like that. Azylrin wasn't sure that was right at all. But the point was, the green was so far the only one that had hatched in such a feisty mood! The chunky candidate hoped she found hers quickly. And the blue-
A shrill cry rose up from behind him in the direction the blue had scampered off. It startled him and he turned to see what had happened...and felt something nuzzling against him, a quiet yet sweet voice entering his mind.
Oh Azylrin! Your Qizixth thought she was going to eat him! Let's go together now Mine, I've been missing you!
Azylrin blinked, heart pounding as he stared down at the blue. No, not just 'blue'. Qizixth!
"H-Hello, Qizixth!" He spoke shyly, hand reaching out to stroke the blue head that pressed against his stomach.
Forgive me, Mine! I...I did not mean to startle you! But she...I am sorry. May we go now? The blue pressed himself against His, though he stood partially in front of him too. A small effort to keep himself between his person and his sister. I am a little hungry. There was slight hesitation in admitting this. But he was hungry!
The boy smiled, no he beamed, nodding to his - oh shards his dragon! - new lifemate. "Yes! Of course we can go. And you didn't mean to startle me." Azlyrin assured Qizixth, offering small smiles of apology to the boys around them as the pair moved off towards the feeding tables. "And we'll get you something to eat." He added.
I...would like that very much, Mine. Qizixth replied sheepishly, still very much glued to his bonded's side as they made their way towards the tables with food. And his other clutchmates.
