Name: Notos
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Craft: Smith
Rank: Apprentice
Physical Description:

Notos is of slightly taller than average height, measuring up to 5'9. His complexion is a slight tan, boasting of frequent exposure to sun. His frame is that of a lean male, exercising frequently. He has matured past boyhood, losing traces of fat and unnecessary skin. His face is angular, but it gives him an older look beyond his years. He dislikes this though, since he is often mistaken for somebody else.

His hair is a beautiful coal black, straight hair that cascades around his face to the nape of his neck. His most distinguishing feature though, are his golden eyes that give the appearance of piercing to one's soul.

His trademark is often that of a long grass in his mouth, or something to occupy his mouth. His posture is always lazy, or relaxed, a confident air surrounds him.

Personality:

Notos has a habit of being friendly to everyone, regardless of their status, commoner or lord holder. His attitude, of there being no distinction between ranks have gotten him friendships and enemies alike. This doesn't seem to matter to Notos though, and certainly hasn't affected him in any way. He is also flirtatious, a player as one would term it, accepting any offers of sex from woman. What exists between his partners though, is merely the offer of companionship, the feelings of like, and nothing more.

He rarely takes anything seriously though, since the words 'serious' and 'worry' have never boded well for anything. He also has a habit of speaking his mind, which often borders more on the rude side than not. He doesn't view what he says as rude, of course, but that particular trait has gotten him slapped a few times. For reasons that Notos has never understood, since he thinks that people would WANT to hear the truth if they ask him for his opinion.

Despite everything, he is also a regular male with alot of pride. His pride does not tolerate lies, insults, or cheating. His penchance for telling the truth, holds others to his exacting standards of telling and being told the truth. Regardless of whether the truth is hurtful, or damaging. His patience is tried, easily, if anyone tries to dupe him.

Putting aside his personal flaws, his professionalism exceeds him by far. He works well as an individual or group. He does not desire leadership, or a need to outshine others in any way. He will put his all into any work required of him, not just some half-assed effort. He is considered to be well-behaved, following orders without asking questions, regardless of whether it is right or not. If anything, his discretion may be one of his best qualities. In the same way, he does not ask others about themselves, or offer any indepth information about himself. This hints at a deeper meaning, at the fact that he keeps everyone at a distance from him. Real emotions, feelings that pertain to love escape him, the young male being strangely apathetic to such things.

Notos was a result between a woman that was searched to be queen, and a brown rider. The woman failed in her candidacy, choosing to go back to where she once lived. However, she had taken up an affair with a brown rider before she left, neither of them expecting anything to come out of their short-lived affair.

She birthed Notos, without notifying his father. Essentially, Noto's family life was deprived of both parents, when his mother would die several years later due to illness. His mother's brother, essentially Noto's uncle who worked as a blacksmith took him under his wing. Notos has little memories of his mother, and eased into the life of a craftman's son without trouble. His childhood was spent in a smithcraft's hall, and although he had never been pressured to take up on his foster father's profession, Notos continued to observe and and to learn the workings and dealings of mechanics and machinery.

By this time, he was naturally expecting to live the rest of his life as a craftsmen. It wasn't until he delivered a package to one of the weyrs, that his instinctual longing for a dragon awakened. Notos contained this urge, out of guilt and obligation for his foster father.

His uncle was astute though, having suspected Noto's origins and noticing his guarded manner when it come to dragon riders. He introduced his adopted son to one of those who commanded the search, and Notos was gladly taken in as a candidate. But Notos left without sorting out his mixed feelings, between wanting to become a dragonrider and his duty to the person that raised him.

Boa Constricter Image

Asceth
Asceth

Information

Boa constrictors wear some of the most distinctive markings of all reptiles and flourish in a wide variety of environmental conditions, from tropical rainforests to arid country. Depending on the habitat they are trying to blend into, their bodies can be tan, green, red, or yellow, and display cryptic patterns of jagged lines, ovals, diamonds, and circles.

Boas are nonpoisonous constrictors found in tropical Central and South America. Like their anaconda cousins, they are excellent swimmers, but prefer to stay on dry land, living primarily in hollow logs and abandoned mammal burrows.

Significantly smaller than anacondas, boas can grow up to 13 feet (4 meters) long and weigh more than 100 pounds (45 kilograms). By and large, the Boa Constrictor family have a placid temperament and are not renowned for aggressive behavior. Although Boas have reasonable eyesight, and it is believed they have some colour vision, they principally hunt by smell.


Myth

Many "medical" organizations use a symbol of a short rod entwined by two snakes and topped by a pair of wings, which is actually the caduceus or magic wand of the Greek god Hermes (Roman Mercury), messenger of the gods, inventor of (magical) incantations, conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves. It is derived from the Greek karykeion = "herald's staff", itself based on the word "eruko" meaning restrain, control.

Asclepius was most probably a skilled physician who practised in Greece around 1200BC (and described in Homer's Iliad). Eventually through myth and legend he came to be worshipped as Asclepius, the (Greek) god of Healing.

The Asclepiadae were a large order of priest physicians who controlled the sacred secrets of healing, which were passed from father to son. Harmless Aesculapian snakes were kept in the combination hospital-temples built by the ancient Greeks and, later, by the Romans in honor of the god.


Personality

Asceth is one of the most relaxed dragons you will ever meet. Calm, social and good-natured, he's not a difficult dragon to get along with, and most dragons, even the most hard-headed or angry-tempered, can and will like him. In appearance he's a slim though obviously heavy dragon, not so much in girth as in muscle, which makes him seem like a force to be reckoned with, and perhaps even frightening to those who do not know him. Those who do, however, know that it's near impossible for him to hurt a fly, unless someone he cares about is in immediate danger, and even then he's more likely to put himself in harms way than attack outright.

Hardly ever angry, Asceth's very much the diplomat of a situation, and tends to be very sympathetic to all parties. This doesn't say that he's a bright dragon -- while he's not stupid by any stretch, complex ideas and strategies do not come easy to him, and are certainly not his preference. Perhaps this is not due to his intelligence as much as just to his easy going nature -- he may not see the point of getting too upset over something, and therefore finds it meaningless to worry about it.

Despite this, Asceth can actually be quite agile in flight, although it's not common. When he needs to move, he can, but in general this brown would much rather have a simple plan and stick to it at an "endurance is the key" pace. While fighting thread he may appear sluggish and slow from the ground, but he does do a thorough job. Even so, it's quite obvious that he would much rather be doing something like transporting people or goods or being with dragons who are injured than fighting thread, something that may be a source of tension between him and his rider. Asceth, had he been born human, would certainly have been a healer.

Overall, this is a very patient, very docile brown, easily adaptable to almost any situation and has a very placid temperament.


Why Me?

Asceth is a very calm, very patient brown, and would be quite attracted to someone who was a kind soul. Notos fits him perfectly. Kind to everyone, treating everyone the same, Asceth relates to this quite well, his own easiness in relating to the dragons of the Weyr giving them a strong bond. He agrees quick strongly with Notos' morals, disliking anyone who lies or cheats -- one of the few things that does make the brown unhappy. He looks up to professionalism, and kindness, seeing this in Notos, and strives to be as calm under pressured circumstances as his rider. From first sight, Asceth found a strong bond with Notos, and his fondness will never die. Faithful to the end, no matter what the circumstance, he will assist Notos however he can, no matter the cost.

While the chaos ensued, another egg quivered a little from the sands, as if not minding that no one was paying much attention to it. There were more important things to worry about, such as the well being of the Candidates, and the boa egg seemed to take this into consideration as it shook gently, the clawing from inside the shell seeming much quieter than the rest of the dragons which had hatched before, as if to not disturb anyone. It was doing a pretty good job too -- even the way the shell cracked and practically just fell from the dragon's body didn't seem to warrant any attention. This was obviously not a dragon that needed all attention on itself.

As the last remaining shards of the boa egg fell away a large, slightly stocky brown dragonet replaced it, his blue eyes whirling a little at the disorientation of his hatching. Within a few moments, however, the brown seemed to have regained himself, straightening out and distributing his weight, spreading his legs a little farther than his shoulders to give himself a solid structure. Upon second glance, it was apparent that while this brown was quite large, in waist he was not a large dragon at all, merely, his chest and legs were. He looked like he would be quite a strong dragon indeed, yet even as he began to look around at the Candidates and up at the stands, where almost all eyes were on the sick Candidates, there was no hostility, no need to stumble around and create a scene, not even a need to be silly. Calm and composed, the brown looked around for a few moments before settling on one particular boy, crooning low in his chest, so softly that none could hear unless it was dead silent.

Another egg, however, had a wildly different idea. The pit viper egg began to shake wildly, the sounds of cracking egg echoing even over the panic, hissing even within. The egg shattered almost instantly, and a spitting green spilled forth, tumbling onto the sands onto her side, clambering up quickly. Hissing at the brown, she gave him a quick lash of her tail, the only thing keeping her from hitting him being her dragonet lack of coordination. Instead, the green lost her balance, and tumbled towards the Candidates, trying to find her footing and hitting one candidate hard in the side, causing both to fall over.

Of course, this didn't help the situation.

Again, the pit viper scrambled up, hissing and spitting, turning in a tight circle to stare at the group of Candidates she had accidentally fallen into, clearly feeling overwhelmed and threatened by the group, as well as the overall chaotic feelings around her. In her confusion and distress, the green lashed out with one clawed hand, trying to push the Candidates away from herself, her claws connecting with several of the candidates. Raena was one of the not-so-lucky ones, the green mauling the girl as she shoved her back, turning abruptly to lash out at Rinfala as well.

Had she known, perhaps Talis would have jumped out of the way. Or perhaps if she hadn't been so thoughtless. Either way, as the green pit viper stumbled angrily towards the Candidates, all the petite girl could do was throw her arms over her head, flinching back as the green reared, surprise by the sudden motion. She felt the dragons claws dig a gash in the side of her back, the wound stretching from just below her arm down to her waist, the white candidates robes shredding like tissue paper. As it was, she grabbed onto Mo yet again, this time for a different type of support.

The brown paused at that moment, his eyes watching the ordeal and the green with a slightly concerned expression. Looking over the rest of the candidates, his eyes fell to the ill ones, concern deepening. Only then did he turn back to his, moving slowly towards him, quickening a little when he saw that he was about to leave.

NotosMine, please do not leave without Yours, the brown moved forward with a confidence and sureness often found in browns, his multi-faceted eyes calm despite the mild chaos around him. The brown lifted one of his hand-like claws, placing it in a surprisingly gentle manner on Notos' leg, careful not to scratch him in any way, nor put any holes in the Candidates robes. Sitting back on his haunches, the boa's calm, collected emotions flowed easily into the boy, the brown's attention never wavering, despite the panic around them.

Your clutchmates are ill... may we help? If there is anything your Asceth can do, it will be done.
