Craft/Rank: Brownrider of Benden Weyr

History: B'nas came from a rather strict hold, his parents supported Benden Weyr without fail and installed it in their sons as soon as they could understand the concept of Dragons that it was to be their future responsibility to serve Benden always and faithfully. As the third son and the 'baby' you would have thought he would have been coddled, but he was taught in the same manner as his other brothers, he was expected to serve the Hold, and in turn Benden Weyr.

One cold Benden night his father came down with an illness of the chest that just grew worse as the weather worsened. Eventually he had died when B'nas was just Fourteen turns old, leaving B'nas' eldest brother to inherit the title of Lord Holder, and while he had never had aims for the title, his brothers didn't want him around and he was sent to 'learn how to work hard' down in the fields with the farmers to 'work out his grief'. His older brothers kept with the wishes of their parents and regularly tithed to Benden Weyr.

B'nas worked for Three turns in the fields from the age of Fourteen. This suited him, as his brothers never really bothered him beyond suggesting he marry outside of the hold, at which he usually laughed and merely said that he would decide when he was older. His bond with his brothers growing weaker with each turn down with the farmcrafters and other workers beyond the manners of the Hold proper. Everyone knew his station but he'd made it clear that he would not shirk on his duties, if his eldest brother thought it was best he work here each day, then he would worked damned hard to prove to them he could do it, because of this the crafters often turned to him to smooth things over between them and his brother if there were any problems. He was happy where he was but whenever a Dragon appeared overhead he would often stop, watch it, then get back to work with renewed vigour, as if the sight of the Dragon strengthened him.

He did this because deep down in his heart he would love to serve Benden as one of those lucky few riders. His heart soaring with the dragons whenever they'd passed overhead. He was searched at the age of Fourteen and a half turns when a Bluerider from Benden arrived notifying of a clutch on the sands. He had rushed to the hold and changed into clothes denoting his rank and alleigance. He presented some likely farmcrafters that he knew shared his love of the enormous beautiful creatures. When he presented the too few that were willing to be considered to be searched, the SearchDragon had not only picked out one of the younger lads, it had also set it's sights on B'nas. The Dragons rider had spoken to his eldest brother, who seemed delighted to have a Family member serve Benden in this way.

Secretly B'nas thought that it had just been an excuse to get him out of the Hold, feeling that his brothers had no need for him, and just 'got rid' of their problem. B'nas on the other hand was ecstatic, his dream could be realised right here, the clucth on the sands could hold his dreams in one, shining wet dragonling. He had arrived full of hope, however he hadn't Impressed in that clutch. His faith and hope didn't die that day though, he seemed so sure that a Dragon was out there one day and until that possible day he aged out, he held onto that hope with a feirce will and faith.

For four and a half turns his surety that there was a Dragon never wavered, it was just that His dragon had yet to be clutched. At his next hatching he watched as the eggs cracked, split and hatched, followed by Impression. He'd watched all but one of the eggs found Theirs, there were many more candidates left and only one large egg left on the sands that rocked violently, eventually cracking and spilling out a handsome Brown. The beast had very carefully inspected all of the male candidates some it went over twice, before shoving some aside and nearly knocking B'nas over and Impression had been made, he'd walked off the sands, his entire reason for being now wrapped up in a big beautiful Brown hide. Several turns later and he is now a loyal and hardworking Benden Brownrider.

Description: B'nas has a kind face and bright clear hazel eyes. His hair is short but very gently curled when it's allowed to grow longer than a few inches, it is a dark chocolate brown and thick. He isn't a big man but his turns working with the farmers and taking care of his Dragon have built his muscles up moreso than his brothers in the Hold Proper as well as leaving him tanned. He likes to dress casually most of the time, not liking to draw attention to himself looks wise anyhow. he is of average height for his age but carries himself well, which sometimes makes him seem taller than he actually is.

Personality: B'nas is nothing if not friendly, he likes talking to people, to learn about what they like and do. If you ask he would probaby tell of his own life, though trying to focus more on working as a commoner rather than being the third son of a Lord Holder. He has a certain liking for women and can often be found with a female attatched to his arm, while he likes the attention from ladies, he doesn't go for the obvious beauty, he likes to at least talk to a girl first, to get to know her even just a little bit before he'll make any sort of move. He does have troubles sometimes of being too quick to trust people, and occaisionally gets taken advantage of. He thinks he knows what is right and what is wrong, and will stongly defend what he thinks is right, at least until he has hard evidence he is wrong. He holds Benden in high respect, and if an elder or superior gives him a specific task he will do his utmost to perfom said task, he does know his limits though and will ask for help when it is needed. He is very practical about things, in his mind Life happens, you just have to go with it, however he dislikes the atypical dragons a lot, though only his Dragon knows of this since he wont admit it to anyone, especially not those that outrank him.

Other: Dragon to be added....
