Username: Faewynd Which Dragon: Brown
Name: Raolin (R'in) Age: 20 Gender: Male Sexual Preference: heterosexual Rank: Wingrider Former Craft: Drudge
Personality: R'in is a quiet fellow, not given to much show of emotion or to grandiose displays. He tends to keep to himself and to his dragon, though he is friendly enough when approached. R'in has a small, close-knit circle of friends who he gathers about himself. He is naturally selective over who he chooses to invest his energy and friendship into. As such, he is incredibly loyal and devoted to those he does consider close friends, and his friends tend to be equally dedicated to R'in.
He does his work efficiently and without complaint, and sometimes it's hard to read how he feels about his place in the grand scheme of things. Underneath that solemn outward mien is a young man who loves his life. R'in cannot believe how incredibly lucky he is that Glaurinth chose him, and he is most assuredly convinced that his brown is the most special of dragons. Every day is treated like a precious, hard-earned treasure. In fact, if you want to get the somewhat taciturn R'in to open up to you, all you really need to do is to ask him about Glaurinth.
R'in tends to be the friendliest towards those who are from similar backgrounds to his own. His rise to status above drudgery has convinced him not only of his own merit, but of the fact that all people posess merit and can better themselves if they are willing to do the hard work required. He will go out of his way to help others, to serve as an example and role-model of good behavior and manners. R'in doesn't believe there is ever an excuse to be rude or cruel. Rather, he believes strongly in justice and in the betterment of the Weyr.
Physical Description: R'in is sort of brown all over. His skin is tanned from constant sun exposure, his hair is a curly mop of reddish brown and his eyes are a warm, golden brown. He wears simple, comfortable clothes that are well-worn. R'in has an unassuming and humble air to him, and he most often has a solemn expression on his face. When he does smile, it is with a flash of white teeth and a mischevious glint in his eyes. R'in is of average height, broad shouldered and well-muscled.
History: R'in was born to a group of holdless wanderers. His existence had not been planned, and was not exactly welcomed by anyone other than his parents. Babies require a lot of time, attention, and resources. None of which this particular little group had a great deal to spare. They tried, for awhile, to incorporate the little family and to provide for the baby, but the strain proved too great on the group. R'in's mother was not the brightest of women, but her instincts drove her to protect her child. She found her way to Ista when R'in was three, trading hard work for room and board. R'in's father did not go with them.
Being a rather dimglowed woman, R'in's mother worked as a drudge. Nobody ever thought to look at her small son more than twice. He was a bright young boy, but his mother insisted on keeping him with her and there were no offers of education or fostering. R'in never even considered the fact that he might be good at a craft. His entire life seemed to be set already - he was frequently reminded of "his place" in the grand scheme of Ista, and that place was not one of glamour or comfort, but rather one of hard work and little reward. Still, R'in made friends amongst the weyrbrats and he found simple ways to find joy and excitement in life.
R'in had watched the dragonmen all his life, and deep within his heart he harbored a secret dream of becoming a dragon rider. He went out of his way to put himself in the path of riders and dragons who might Search him, but those opportunities were few and far between, and they never seemed to pan out. People tended to look through drudges as if they were invisible, regardless of an individual's internal merits. Still, he did what he could. When he was fourteen turns, there was a clutch on the sands. R'in managed to weasel his way onto the crew that was cleaning the cavern in preparation for the hatching, and he managed to "accidentally" brush up against an egg or two. It earned him a severe punishment, but the risk had seemed worth it to the boy. It was a risk that, against all odds, paid off.
After Impression, R'in's life changed drastically. Suddenly, people knew who he was. Resources were available to him. He had plenty to eat, and the hard work he was accustomed to changed from drudgery to sheer joy. Of course, taking care of Glaurinth was not an easy task, but R'in was used to working hard and he certainly didn't mind. He began to develop a strong sense of self awareness and his confidence grew. Weyrlinghood was good to him, and he came into his own. He and Glaurinth made a formidible pair, and together they quickly became known for their level judgement and steadfast presence.
Talents: R'in doesn't have any special talents, he does not know how to read or write. But he can mimic any birdcall he hears in whistles.
Notes:
Dragon:
Name: Glaurinth Age: 6 Color: Brown Physical Description: Glaurinth is long and slender with a proud, arching neck and surprising grace both on the ground and in the sky.
Personality: The phrase "gentle giant" seems to aptly sum up Glaurinth's personality. This brown does not seem to have a mean or cruel bone in his body, and he is very careful around people and other creatures to be sure that he causes no harm. Glaurinth always seems to have a positive outlook on life - this dragon is not the sort to give up or feel despair. He believes that, while things may get dark and difficult, the dawn will always come and one must hold on through the bad times so that one can appreciate and celebrate the good ones.
Glaurinth is a patient and reliable dragon - he will always be there when he is needed, and he never has to be asked twice to do something. Low in the spontaneity department, Glaurinth rarely takes extreme risks. He prefers predictability and stability which leads others to trust him implicitly. He never shirks from his duty, but he also does not tend to find his duties distasteful. He enjoys working for the betterment of the Weyr and the protection of its inhabitants. He finds joy in the simple things in life, sunbathing on the beach or taking long flights with R'in, just the two of them. He is a dragon that requires very little emotional maintenance. Good companionship and a heart full of love are all he needs. And he gives both in return.
Prompt: The hatching was coming to a close - all of the eggs had expelled their occupants, and there were only four dragon on the sands. Most concerning, however, was the warm-hided brown who had hatched before them all. He had leapt from his egg with gleeful excitement, ready to find His and explore the world. But somehow, as the hatching had continued, the little brown had begun to grow downtrodden. His brothers and sisters had Impressed, but the brown seemed as if he was having difficulty finding his bonded. There would be moments where his head would lift and turn swiftly, as if he was catching a scent on the breeze, but then moments later that head would droop once again, as if he had lost the trail.
Raolin had been following the hatching to the best of his ability, but it was a busy day for the drudges. He was constantly moving back and forth from the kitchen to the hatching grounds. Food for the spectators and meat for the dragonets must be provided, and he was kept busy running back and forth. Still, he found moments in which to see what had happened on the sands and to keep up with the general flow of the events. There was a general tension in the air, though Raolin never seemed to be in the cavern long enough to divine what, exactly, was stressing people out so much.
It happened when he was midway from the cavern to the kitchen, and it happened with a force that nearly drove him to his knees. One moment he was carrying empty platters, and the next moment there was a shout of terror and frustration in his head. Where are you? Please, I need you! Raolin didn't stop to think or to process what had happened. He was filled with a sudden desperate urge and he dropped the platters and returned to the hatching sands at a run. He skidded onto the sands, wild-eyed, looking around in desperation. There! A brown blur streaked towards him and knocked him down, pinning him. Rainbow eyes met his and the shock of Impression washed througout Raolin, now R'in's, mind. The overwhelming sense of panic began to wane, replaced with joy and triumph.
You're here now, you heard your Glaurinth. The dragon seemed content now that he had done what must be done. The crowd, who had been convinced that the little brown was going to go between, let out a collective sigh. And R'in finally discovered his place in the world.

Username: AstoriaFallen Which Dragon: 2
Name: Nadira Age: 22 Gender: Female Sexual Preference: Heterosexual Rank: Wingrider Former Craft: Healer Personality: Nadira is extremely friendly and outgoing. She will often go out of her way to help those who need it, even if others seem to discourage these actions. She was always helping wanderers, despite the fear of her parents that she might get hurt, and taking in injured wildlife from time to time. She's a very soft spoken girl and is shy at first when it comes to crowds but she quickly adapts and makes the most of any situation. She's not often confrontational, but if you push her enough she can get a little aggressive. She doesn't like violence and hopes she never has to resort to using it.
She will, and has done so before, approach someone who is doing something wrong and tell them to knock it off. There are rules in place for a reason and it's mostly so people can remain safe. She especially dislikes those who use others to their advantages. She will put a quick stop to stuff like that if she sees it. It's one of her pet peeves.
Physical Description: She stands at about 5'8" tall and weighs 140lbs with long runner legs. She has hazel eyes and a few freckles on her face. She's got more of a lithe than athletic build, but she can still pull her own weight when it comes to getting work done. Physical labor isn't something that is unknown to her, it just doesn't look like she does any. History: (to come) Talents: Notes:
Dragon:
Name: Vorranyth (i'm using the dragon I got from Frolicsome Firelizards <3 if I cannot do this please let me know XD) Age: 5 Color: Green Physical Description: Vorranyth is slightly taller than the average green thanks to her long, slender legs. They match well with her lengthy neck and tail.
Personality: Ambitious Persistent Controlling
She is always aiming for the top, to be the best at whatever she attempts. She encourages her rider to have dreams and aim high themselves. She doesn't give up on her and her rider's goals even if they fail more than once. She isn't afraid to try new methods or techniques, but must in some way be able to claim the idea to do so as her own. When working in a group, she insists things be done her way, or her ideas used and will throw a fit or sulk if they are not.
Prompt:
There had been a skirmish between the green and one of her siblings as he had darted into the stands to impress someone from up there and her anger could be felt as he had betrayed her in a sense. She had lashed out at those around her, striking out at candidates that stood in her way. She was livid and she was upset. How dare he go against her wishes. Theirs had to be the best and those in the stands were not worthy in her eyes. Without warning the Green barreled through the female candidates and came to a halt before Nadira, assessing her to insure she had found hers.
Nadira had watched, in horror as the onslaught happened. One of the blues had kept trying to dart into the stands and the green and kept trying to block his path and he had finally evaded her and had sent her on a rampage. She had almost thought the worst as the green came at her but she had held her ground and now here she was. Face to face with the little terror. She did not expect what was about to happen.
Rainbow eyes flashed as the impression occurred and a voice echoed through Nadira's mind. 'If my siblings would have listened, I would have found you sooner NadiraMine. We shall show them together that we are to be listened to..' Nadira cradled the speckled green face in her palms and she couldn't help but smile at the vivaciousness of the green and she was more than elated to have been chosen. 'Yes mine. Patience though, we shall be the best, but we must do so honorably. Now let us get you fed.'
