Sexual Orientation: Straight

Craft/Rank: Beastcraft Apprentice(healer)/Candidate Blue Dragonrider
History: Saykiro’s family has always been in the Beastcraft, and it was only normal for him to follow them in the craft. He was the youngest of the family, all boys, and his mother spoils him, while the rest of the guys tease him. The teasing made him work harder and he kept away from his mother. He does bring flowers when the others aren’t watching. His family moved to the Trine Weyr right before he was born and they haven’t moved since. His family is nothing special, other than being full of beastcrafters.
When he was about 5 turns, he point out which animals were close to being put down, trying to make his father proud of him. He watched the herds, learning the signs of what was healthy and normal with his father. Saykiro spent a lot of time in the herds while his father would barter for new blood to be brought into their herd. Saykiro has kept his oldest brother from buying some runners that were unhealthy. They couldn’t tell from just looking at them, but Saykiro was able to watch them interact with some of the others. That was one of the few lucky times he saved the family problems in breeding that season. The day before his 9th turn, his father finally talked to his mother about sending him to the Crafthold. The next day after that talk, his father took him to the Craft. He would soon learn that his family did not show him much of what he needed to know as a Beastcrafter Healer. At 10 Turns, he got first hand training with Healers. While it was not Beast Healers, they still talked about other injuries, whether human, beast or dragon. His couple of visits, Saykiro listened intensely for any information, so he could ask more questions of the Beast Healers.
It had been 8 turns since he seen his first dragon, when a blue rider came to the Hall. He was use to seeing the dragons and thought nothing of this rider coming by. Saykiro didn't realize at the time that there was a search going on until he was introduced to the rider. He was informed that he was to be a candidate by the rider. Saykiro, the normally shy guy, had a huge grin on his face and rambled for a few minutes. Upon meeting the blue, he murmured his usually greetings, but this time he was able to touch the dragon. On the flight he thought, My dream might come true, but at least I have a skill to fall back on just in case.
Description: Saykiro stands at 5’3 with short spiky brown hair and light blue eyes. His body is lean for his age. He prefers to wear sleeveless or vest tops, so his arms are tan from his time in the sun. During the summer his hair gets light brown and the winter it gets dark. He has a faded scar on his right forearm where a runner caught him at 10 turns. He was there for a birthing and got to close, if it wasn’t for the Journeyman being there to pull him back faster, Saykiro would have lost either the use of his arm or the lower part of his arm. The female runner was scared, her first birthing and the crowd was bothering her and Saykiro figured he could calm her. He didn’t see her bunching her haunches to kick out at him, as he was looking at her face more than her back.
Personality: He is happy and loyal to his friends and family. He has fought one of his brothers, when he was 13, out of loyalty to a friend. It was a quick and slightly painless fight, it hurt his pride more than his body because his brother kicked his rear to the ground, but he earned their respect. His brother insulted his female friend, calling her rude names and well just making an arse out of himself.
Quick to anger if he sees animals mistreated. He has started many verbal fights over mistreated animals, by calling the owners/handlers idiots. He was normally told to stand down by his father and then the Journeymen and Masters at the Crafthall. Once away from the person, he would ask what he did wrong.
In large groups of people, except during his training, he tends to stay in the background. During his training, he would try to be the first one there, so he could have the best place and also so he could help the fastest if they were asked.
He watches the others reactions and feels his own as information is given. He feels comfortable around 7 or 8 others, too many more and he gets quiet. He feels like they are judging him when he talks and that makes him nervous. He also talks softer when there are more people around, so it’s harder to hear what he has said.
Other: His first memory of being close to a dragon was a blue landing near the field he was in, at the time he was about six Turns. He stood in awe that day and almost got in trouble by his oldest brother. The next turn, his dreams were of being a dragonrider. He talked to his mother about it the most, but still pushed himself when it came to their craft because he felt he wouldn't get the chance to be a dragonrider. It had yet to fade from his dreams, and he murmurs a greeting to the dragons when he sees them.

Name: Neptanth
Colour: Blue
Inspired by: Neptune
Personality:
Blue Neptanth is a jovial, caring blue who has an easy confidence to him – much like a big brother. Loyal and supportive, this dragon has a soft spot for fuzzy and tiny – which, to this oversized blue, is pretty much everything on four legs. He's happy to take direction but also encourages His to put himself out there a little more – observation is great but you need to interact to make friends! Indeed, Neptanth is also somewhat of an empath and he required someone who have a gentle heart and understood emotional rhythms. He'd likely make a great Searchdragon one day: he's attentive, brotherly, and has a knack for getting a correct sense of a person. However, first impressions are most important to this blue because while he's forget particulars like names and places, the quality of an encounter will flavour his opinions from then on. Stand up for yourself and he'll respect you, be mild and he'll want to protect you, make an arse of yourself and he'll consider you foolish... if you cross him or His, he'll likely never trust you again.
Why me?
Saykiro and Neptanth are a friendly pair, and as loyal as anyone could ask for. Neptanth will encourage Saykiro to come out of his shell in large groups so that if the young man's observations and input aren't missed. As kind and empathic as his big blue bondmate, Saykiro has the potential to be as good a Searchrider as Neptanth has to be a Searchdragon once he matures and gains a little confidence; new candidates will have nothing to fear if picked out by this pair!

Neptune
Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. Named for the Roman god of the sea, it is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third-largest by mass. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus, which is 15 times the mass of Earth but not as dense. On average, Neptune orbits the Sun at a distance of 30.1 AU, approximately 30 times the Earth–Sun distance. Its astronomical symbol is ♆, a stylized version of the god Neptune's trident.
Discovered on September 23, 1846, Neptune was the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by empirical observation. Unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led Alexis Bouvard to deduce that its orbit was subject to gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet. Neptune was subsequently observed by Johann Galle within a degree of the position predicted by Urbain Le Verrier, and its largest moon, Triton, was discovered shortly thereafter, though none of the planet's remaining 12 moons were located telescopically until the 20th century. Neptune has been visited by only one spacecraft, Voyager 2, which flew by the planet on August 25, 1989.
