History: History – Brishen is the sole child of his single mother and is originally from Southern Boll hold with her, his cousin, and grandmother. He lived on Ista for six years when learning his trade in glassblowing, after a fail attempt during his early at learning weaving and a turn at Harperhall in attempting to learn something useful. His voice though has grown into a warm deep rich sound and he isn't shy at singing, even if it is the only instrument he can master.

It was actually during his senior turn, right before he walked the tables that a clutch was laid and harden at Ista Weyr. To his surprise, he was picked as having potential and gleefully left the chance at becoming a journeyman behind in favor of possibly impressing. Really, dragons! He could become a journeyman later. The egg he was attractive too wasn't the largest but it hummed with potential and was just the most gorgeous thing ever. It was a lucky clutch, a bronze hatched first and then a blue exploded out in a scrambling of shells and found him. The egg he had admired had his bondmate and they were together, forever. There was no pause of better, or doubt. They were just right together.

They spent the first four turns at Ista, allowing Hazmath to grow and for Br'hen to find time to walk the tables. Antsy, they filed for transfer to Serrat, deciding to strike out in the western Weyr. While new, Br'hen and Hazmath has shown to be a willing help with candidates and weyrlings

Personality: Constantly moving, slightly insomniac. Br'hen is a bundle of highly explosive energy. He is prone to gesturing when he speaks, and can slip into the territory of OMG make it stop talking. At times he can be invasive, crawling into personal space and cheerfully manhandling people where he needs them to be. With high stamina, and high metabolism, he seems to never stop moving. At times he forgets or can't sleep for a few days on end, catching just naps, and it leads to a bright eyed, caffeine fueled, clumsy Br'hen who probably shouldn't be flying anytime soon. If the tripping over his own feet doesn't clinche that, the rapid changing subject matter leading to confusing babble probably will.

Spur of the moment. Br'hen doesn't plan his day. Without orders or a physical list, he is all spontaneous thought and 'Ooh! What is that sparkly thing?' when deciding what things need to get done. Projects and papers on his own devices tend to get left to spur of the moment inspiration. He is prone to improvisation and sudden eureka moments of 'I need paper, where is the paper... I will doodle it in the dirt if I have to.' It doesn’t matter if it’s a formal dinner party, during a teacher’s lecture, or if an superior is talking, it needs to be done now, and yes, you will hear about it.

Empathy, Br'hen cares deeply. Perhaps a bit do much at times. It does make him a good mentor and volunteer for candidates and weyrlings. He is a good listener and a wall of quite warmth for those that just don't want to talk but appreciate the warm milk and place to just relax a bit. He tends to keep his own problems bottled up, not wanting to weight down others.

Cheerful, his grandmun would stay ‘ he’s contagious.’ Being around him can at times lift someone’s mood. He smiles easy, and has just this up beat attitude. Sometimes this can fall into the category of plan silliness.

Gentle. Br'hen is not calm, he has to much energy and cheerfulness to apply that adjective but he is gentle. He isn't much of a fighter, preferring to settle things with words. He doesn't even care to squash spinner. Not when he can just shoo it outside.

Physical Description: The most striking feature with ‘Rish is his hair. It’s bright coppery brown in color and tends to tightly curl when short much to his cousin’s envy and his disgust. His nose has been broken twice and while set both times is a bit crooked. His eyes are hazel, set a tad far apart with long lashes and a small scar from brow to eyebrow when he has tried to cut with his grandmun scissors when six after being teased. His upper lip is thinner then his bottom and has a strong chin. He is built. Not muscles popping out of his clothing built but more along the line of construction/farm hand built. The type of muscles you get with hard physical work. 5’11’’ in height and around 180-190lbs. His skin tone is olive and he has a few smaller scars from various scraps and roughhousing when he was in that rebellious stage.

Other: Sexuality
The men
Br'hen likes men. He likes men who look and act like men with strong broad hands who know how to be gentle. Who smell and taste clean and don't mind letting him curl and nap on them when he needs it. Someone who can keep up with him is a plus.


Thee ladies
Br'hen occasionally likes the ladies. He likes them soft, with curves and longish hair. He likes woman that look like woman, who smell clean, wear just the slightest trace of make up, if they can sing well that is a major plus.

Song: Boadicea by Enya
Why this song? To me a hum is instinctive, the most simplistic music possible. It has a deep warm beat like a heart, living and it’s gentle and soft.


Dragon

Name: Hazmath
Age: 5
Color: Blue
Physical Description: Hazmath is an average size blue. His hide is pale shade, with very subtle banding of darker colors.


Personality: Hello! Hi there! Blue Hazmath is very happy to see you! He's ready to play, and explore and--oh! ...What if you don't like him? What if he's bothering you? What if you never want to be friends?! THAT CAN'T BE!

Ok, so perhaps Hazmath is a bit explosive when it comes to his emotions. He doesn't really mean any harm by it, and more often then not his rider can safely rein him in to resemble something like 'calm' or perhaps just 'collected.' This blue loves getting worked up, although admittedly he prefers the positive kind that leads to Great Adventure or just a round of good laughs with his wingmates. He'll always be a volcano ready to go, if a soft-flowing and bubbly type of volcano with frequent burps of gaseous OMG! No one ever said being high-energy meant being out of control!

Most of the time Hazmath is a silly and enthusiastic blue, average in both size and intelligence. He's not the one superiors would pin the 'troublemaker' badge on, but he would be second or third in line. Generally easy to get along with, dragons made of sterner stuff might find him a bit exasperating but everyone else would probably just find him funny. On the wing he'll be dedicated and enthusiastic, though his rider will have to manage his energy levels to avoid him becoming too tired before the drill is complete. Chasing females will also have to be handled in a similar fashion, though at those times Hazmath would prefer that his rider just take a back seat and let him play a bit.

Why Me?

Who else could possibly keep up with Hazmath than Brishen? Whenever Hazmath starts to obsess and fret, Brishen will be the one that can calm him down and make him feel better. In turn, Hazmath won't allow Brishen to run away anymore when he's upset; he now has Hazmath to talk to, and Hazmath always knows when His is sad. Together, they can get through anything!
