The weyrling thread sounded like a good idea so I have set this up! When we actually kick off more fully something more organized will probably occur but this will do for now, it's intended for anyone who wants to find a PC to have mentored their Weyrling or young rider.
Feel free to post here with riders you are offering as squiremasters, or people you are seeking a past squiremaster for, or a present one for that matter for a dragon candidate you have planned!
My squiremaster offerings are:
C'tis of blue Malcarreth, Second wing Available to have been squiremaster for the past nine turns from nine turns ago up until three turns ago.
- C'tis does not take squires under the age of 16, he's a git but he's not going to take a really young kid out on dangerous assignments with him.
- He's a git. He pushes squires hard and sometimes makes ridiculous requests of them especially when they're new. Go ask Thern in the stores for a long weight.
- He will not stand for his squires being messed with by anyone but him.
S'ol of blue Zaqueth. 4th tier, actual wing undecided. Available to have been squiremaster for the past six turns.
- As a 4th tier rider he doesn't get a look in with having a squire all that often. When he does however he will tend to choose the 'underdog' types.
- He is so full of energy and idealism he may explode some day.
- Expect to be dragged into his slightly chaotic plans to make the world a better place.
- He will do his very best to help any candidate reach their potential, as will Zaqueth!
- He will have been more than happy to take any squire of his on visits to family, and also pretty much anywhere else on Pern. Day trip to Igen Hold? Yay for expanding your world views and experience, let's go!
If you are interested in either of my blue fellows hit me up and we can plot!

Because hilarity can only follow...
L'ris of green Pennath, third wing-1 (probably). Has been around for shaffing ever, probably taking squires for at least twenty five turns
- Has a squishy soft spot for candidates she thinks are vulnerable, but at the same time she's not going to take someone she thinks can't hack keeping up with her. She also has very little patience for whining or stupidity.
- Is a bully and has no regrets about it, she's pretty sure she has your best interests at heart. Probably wouldn't be assigned candidates who are going to collapse into tears at the least provocation. That said, anyone else who dares screw with them is in Deep Deep Trouble.
- Will probably overfeed her squire because ???affection
- Definitely a focus on swordplay and other such skills. As far as she's concerned, literacy is important, but not as important as keeping your noggin whole.
- Prepare to be dragged into political campaigning the moment Weyrleadership is questioned. She firmly supports pro-female riders and is inevitably involved in one way or another.
- Has had a large collection of squires over the turns, and has lost at least one before they Impressed: everything she does in the field will be reasonably carefully vetted before she allows them near it.

So, I think Zareen would have been a good squire for her. She would have needed a squiremaster that focused more on some of the more physical aspects rather than literacy, since that's where she struggles, and she's not one to whine about hard work.

Being pushed out of her comfort zone was probably good for her, and as for the gruesome stuff, well, knowledge isn't always pleasant. XD Three turns sounds about right.

Cooooooon would you be okay with I'saak (soft-spoken, slightly shy/awkward greenrider nowadays) having been L'ris's squire for like two years back when he was a Candidate (turn 187-189ish)? He would have been an incredibly hard worker but in general just...a little soft and kinda bad at standing up for himself/saying no/etc. He's not fragile, so he would have been able to keep up with her.

Would anyone like to have been Miskael's squiremaster?
He Impressed at the most recent hatching six months ago, but prior to that he was around the weyr for about five years or so. He's quiet, a little bit shy, but also really bright and incredibly curious. His squiremaster would have had to put up with nearly incessant questions about dragon biology and behavior and the like (SCIENCE!) but apart from that he would've been always very earnest and eager to please.

(fwiw it's worth, my aim = also concinnityblaise, if it's easier!)

@Con - sweet! I am IMing you now.
AND NOW FOR MY OWN SEARCH, would anyone like to have been the second squiremaster mentioned in Lanakirene's history? She would have been like...15 or so when they started, and she was kind of a butt at first, but developed a healthy respect for her squiremaster and stopped being an a** pretty quickly. Ideally I would love someone who fits the plotline I already have established in that history, but I'd be willing to tweak if someone with a character with a similar bent came along. :3

She would have been more uncomfortable at the start, having been hold bred, but as she learned more about what a dragonrider really does, I think she would have come to see why L'ris feels that way.

TawnyAngel C'tis of blue Malcarreth, Second wing (probably, pending confirmation). Available to have been squiremaster for the past nine turns.
- C'tis does not take squires under the age of 16, he's a git but he's not going to take a really young kid out on dangerous assignments with him.
- He's a git. He pushes squires hard and sometimes makes ridiculous requests of them especially when they're new. Go ask Thern in the stores for a long weight.
- He will not stand for his squires being messed with by anyone but him.
I actually feel like he would respond really well to C'tis; he's the kind of guy who's surprisingly easygoing in response to being messed with, as long as it's not malicious in intent. Just watch out, because if you send Bakarn out on a snipe hunt, he will come back with a snipe. (Frankly I'm envisioning him bringing C'tis a series of increasingly weird things in response to nonsense requests.) And he's really good at taking orders, as long as you don't expect him to be quiet. Or, y'know, dignified.
My thought is that he had a different squire (noncombat wing) up until age 16, and then requested a switch to a combat-centric position when he was old enough to be safely taken into the field. Let me know what you think!

Squires don't usually switch squiremaster though, usually if a rider in a higher wing takes on a young squire they'll shadow everything other than their field duties until they're considered old enough. C'tis just can't be arsed with the dealing with the young squire bit XDD
We could make it work though; Bakarn's previous squiremaster could have retired, died, or transferred to another Weyr - any of those would result in Bakarn needing a new squiremaster! Well, technically he could stay with a squiremaster who retired but it would be acceptable for him to switch and his master may well have encouraged it. So he could already have been squiring for second wing, or he could have been squiring for a different wing until C'tis took him on. Hope that made sense!
