Character Name:Shedrawn
Age: 18
Gender:Male
Sexual Orientation:Heterosexual
Craft/Rank:Harper Apprentice/Candidate
History:Shedrawn was the only son of a Harper, Koldram and his wife Shella. Shedrawn's father often left on Harper buisness so the boy was raised mostly by his mother, who although she was not a Harper herself had great respect for their ways. She passed this respect on to her son or at least she tried to. Shedrawn spent many of his younger pre-apprentice years cooking with his mother. This made a close bond between mother and son, enough so that Shedrawn trusts her more than any other person alive. She gave him the notion to protect those smaller than himself when he could and also taught him to learn a lot about your enemy, so that when a confrontation came you could be ready to protect yourself more easily. When he left his mother to be an apprentice Harper it left a hole that no amount of music could fill within him. Still he stuck through it so as not to disappoint his father. Shedrawn put the lessons his mother had taught him in to action at the Harper Hall. He would provide what protection he could to those smaller than him, and in return they would listen in on many different people and fill him in on what they heard. In this way Shedrawn almost always had the upper hand on almost any of the other apprentices. His underlings used to joke that he knew their secrets before they did.
When it came to Harper lessons it was soon found that Shedrawn had an average singing voice, (if that), and probably would never excel to great heights vocally. He unreasonably blamed on his teacher, who often experienced small harmless pranks when Shedrawn was around, like having a cold cup of klah where a warm one had just previously sat. These pranks usually occured during uneffective singing lessons. Therefore Shedrawns focus was set on the instruments of the Harperhall. His major problem in this area was his clumsiness. It was found that he didn't last long with the drums, as they were too easy to knock over,(yes even the big ones). Thankfully no one ever got seriously hurt beyond squashed toes. A mortally embarrassed Shedrawn finally found his calling with pipes and flutes. Which incidentally posed no threat to people's toes. Shedrawn could be found at night time quietly practicing soothing melodies and cleverly composing new ones.His pipe making skills were quite good and some of his works were even stamped for sale at Gather. In fact it was his piping that caught the blue search dragon's attention in the first place. He had been playing his pipes away from the clouds of people moving between their classes. He was enjoying an extremely rare break from lessons and chores when the blue rider who had just landed approached him. He had been enamored with dragons ever since, and with great hope flew to Malvren Weyr with his reed pipes.
Description:Shedrawn is 5'7 and growing like a weed making his body thin. He has clear mocca skin and dark brown hair bordering on black. He has a straight nose, a square jaw and startling mahogany eyes which he had inherited from his father. Overall he is a handsome young man who has not quite adjusted to his new and increasing height. This makes him gangly and awkward. His hair is a little long but not shaggy by any means, and he constantly runs his fingers through it to keep it in place.
Personality:Shedrawn loves to be challenged mentally and finds great delight in making his opponent squirm openly. He has a fierce calculating wit and is not opposed to bribery or blackmail to achieve his goal. He is manipulative to a fault as well as arrogant. He can be quite opinionated in discussions and may talk people into saying things they did not mean. He knows what he wants and works hard to get it. He is a gossip monger as well. The only people immune to his sharp tongue are those of high authority and children. Children he sees as to innocence and undevious to compete with him and he still has a need to protect them. He likes children because everything they do is so dramatic, this and the fact that they can look at something and not see all the ways they can manipulate it, something that Shedrawn cannot do. He has yet to find a close friend, mostly because he has trust issues with people his age. It will perhaps be easier at the Weyr where he doesnt have inside info on everybody.
Other:Shedrawn is afflicted with a covetous nature and a will to get what he wants. When he isnt playing pipes or flutes he is probably making one.
Shedrawn also has good points as well he is well organized and a good leader, (not many people can easily control a large group of children). Shedrawn can be depended upon when the task at hand is serious, and important. He doesn't mess around with serious things. He is very good with children and seems to get along okay with older people. He is sypathetic with children and compassionate about their safety. He has the potential to make a good bond with a partner (weyrmate) and/or an animal.With the being who cracks his heart he has the potential to be tender loving and protective.

Dragonflight Pern Name: Skewth Colour: Brown - based on a skewbald horse Personality:Skewth is a brown's brown. That is, this patchy dragon is everything a brown really ought to be - he's level headed, hard working, and versatile. There's no job big or small that Skewth won't offer to help out with and, thanks to a fairly logical outlook, when looking at problems there's not many jobs he won't be able to solve either. In terms of being dependent, there's not very many other dragons that can out class him - if he's supposed to be somewhere at a certain time... Skewth is there. If there's something he's supposed to have done... it's done. He's the type of dragon most bronzes would kill for as their wing seconds as he doesn't require a whole lot of managing once orders are given. If he's dependable and versatile, however, there is one thing Skewth is not... and that's a leader. He's unlikely to make a decision without first asking a superior and its doubtful he'll ever attempt to Fly a gold. Give him a good green, however, and Skewth is as charming and suave as the best of bronzes. In fact, when it comes to females of any color or his personal down time Skewth's dependability takes a bit of a nose dive.. He might be trustworthy at work, but in play? Not so much. This brown is a womanizer and a bit of a prankster - if anything Skewth seems to live by the motto of work hard, play hard in his everyday life, which might give his rider fits once in a while, since it's unlikely that said rider will be spared in the pranks. In fact, his rider is likely to be his top choice when playing pranks - what better person to have fun with then your life mate, right? And Skewth's far too good natured to come up with any really mean pranks. It's all in good fun, really and truthfully. If his rider has to put up with a bit of funny business when off the clock at least Skewth makes up for it by giving it his all when it really counts. Why Me?It was likely Shedrawn's work ethic that drew Skewths attention in the first place as the brown desired a partner who was equally willing to work hard when the need arose and although Shedrawn might be a bit more sharp tongued then Skewth likes his delight in making others squirm will likely place the two in good stead with one another when Skewth decides to prank someone - and hopefully Shedrawn will take everything in stride when he turns out to be the butt end of the prank as well. Shedrawns leadership abilities might allow Skewth to shine a bit more then he would have without that leadership ability to depend upon and that along with his dependability when serious work needs doing means these two will be a pair to be counted on. Skewth sensed in Shedrawn an inner gentleness that the dragon finds alluring and while Skewth dosen't always agree with his partners sharp tongue and manipulation of others he knows that His has a good heart and is willing to help him find it, SKewth will hopefully teach Shedrawn how to have fun without being cruel and Shedrawn shall teach Skewth to be a bit more confident of his own decisions. Together they will make a better person or dragon then they would be individually and that after all..is the whole point right? Size: Above Average Build: Average
