Name: Loraket (L’ket)
Age: 15
Sex: male
Craft: N/A
Rank: Candidate
Physical Description:
Loraket is of average height about 5, 5”. He has a tanned boyish face with blue eyes and a lop-sided smile. His dark brown hair is thick and wavy.
He wears light-colored, loose fitting clothes since he spends a lot of time working out in the sun. The loose clothing hides the firm muscles he's developed from working with feed bales and hoisting butchered meat. Because of his attention to detail, his clothes are always neat, clean and tidily mended.
Personality:
Loraket is very careful in what he does. He’s seen too many things go dreadfully wrong by simple haste. He sometimes takes too long to get a task done because he’s double-checking himself to make sure everything is right. He will often point out when something is out of place (like a riding strap is not fastened correctly, cooking ingredients not stored in their proper spot, etc.)
Like most young boys he dreams of impressing a dragon. But he’s also been witness to many weyrling accidents. He’s seen the empty shell of vibrant person left behind when a dragonet dies and he’s heard the last scream of a young dragon gone between because his young rider died foolishly in an accident.
He’s torn between wanting to fulfill a boyish dream and keeping his world safe and controlled. He’s stood on the sands a few times. After not being chosen, he was almost relieved afterwards to be able to go back to his regular routine where everything had its place.
History:
Born and raised in the Weyr. His mother works in the lower caverns. She has some musical talent, so she helps the Weyrharper in her spare time. She has a knack for playing the pipes and Loraket loves to listen to her play. When his father (a dragonrider) gifted him with a firelizard egg, he named the hatchling, Piper, in honor of his mother’s playing.
Loraket was fostered to the herdbeast master. He helps tend the beasts (feeding, watering, weeding out sick ones, etc.). He also helps with bringing meat for the dragonets and showing the candidates how to feed their new soulmates.
Pets: Bronze firelizard – Piper (Christmas firelizard)
Other/Talents: In his spare time, he uses scrap leather (bits and pieces left over from making boots and riding straps) to carve and tool designs into.
