Craft: N/A
Rank: Candidate
Location: High Reaches Weyr
Physical Description:
Caderyn stands at six foot two inches tall with a very slight muscular build. His hair is black and when down reaches his chin, but he normally has it pulled back in a ponytail when he is busy. His eyes are a greenish blue and they always seemed to be narrowed in either thought or some sort of suspicion. When Caderyn speaks his voice is deep causing him not to have to speak very loudly for him to be heard. He has a regal posture to him that he uses to hide any insecurities that he may have about himself. Caderyn’s nose is a little crooked thanks to it being broken during a fight with his step-brothers when he was younger.
Personality:
[+/-] Give me the moons and the stars: Caderyn knows he is destined for something great or at least some glory as a warrior. He takes this idea from his father A’dras who was a powerful wingrider and a strong man who cared for his loved ones. It is a very idealistic ambition that he has, so much so that he tends to forget that the best way to go to the top is making followers and friends to help raise you to the top. Caderyn is a great leader and can help bring others to him who want to follow him.
Caderyn’s ambition does have faults as he does not know when to stop. He wants to continue reaching higher and higher, going forth to whatever goal awaits him. Asking the boy what he thinks the world holds for him will get you a smirk and one answer. “Whatever I can take from it.” This is easily troubling to some of those around him as he can be seen as ruthless to get anything that he wants. He has a hard time making friends as no one has, of yet, been more than a stepping block for him up into the rest of the world. Those people who have been drawn to Caderyn by his natural charisma are seen as pawns by him in a chess game where he is the king.
[+] Monument to my sins: While Caderyn is a good ‘little soldier’ he does not take orders and follow them out to the t. Once again the boy learned this thanks to his step-father who would give orders that always had something hidden. This made Caderyn begin to analyze things a lot earlier then he would have, it also cause the boy to make his own decisions when it came to carrying out orders given to him. If an order is straightforward Caderyn will follow it with no questions asked, but if there seems to be something different going on he will look at the bigger picture and determine the best course of action from there. While it does seem as if he is going against what he is told, Caderyn always makes sure that in some way or another what was asked of him gets done.
[+] Boy Scouts: While Caderyn’s ambition, when presented with an opportunity for him to rise, will cause him to cut other lose the boy does have a nicer side to him that he does not like to show. For all of the ruthlessness that he shows outwardly he has a caring heart that doesn’t like to see others in pain. Caderyn is the kind of guy who would help a little old lady cross the street, help a little girl get her pet out from where its hiding and even help a woman carry her baggage to the home. He has a very noble side to him and he had to hide while he lived with his mother and step-father. His constant good deeds caused him to be made fun of by his step siblings and even though his mother protested it caused Caderyn to create a mask and keep this side of himself hidden. Caderyn can be a bit of a pushover when it comes to young women as he can be seen as a bit of a chivalrous man and sees women, though they are strong, deserve to be helped and taken care of.
[-]Hide your face: Caderyn doesn’t like to show some of his true self to anyone and it hinders him more than he is even aware of. Caderyn has the ability to be something more than he is, like everyone else, but he keeps himself from achieving it. Without showing more of his traits that endear him to those around him, Caderyn isn’t allowing himself the chance to grow as a leader. He pushes people away from him because he can act slightly callous or even ruthless and most people don’t want to take the chance to dig deep past his problems to look at the real Caderyn hiding beneath. He has learned that he has to have a mask hiding the true him away from the world or else the world will cause you problems.
[-] Don’t stand too close to me: While Caderyn can be popular when it comes to fickle friends he doesn’t have close friends that will stand by him through thick and thin. Caderyn is honestly afraid to form these kind of relationships because of what it means he will have to show. He doesn’t like people getting hurt because of his actions and there are times when he will act rashly and not consider the consequences when it comes to ambition. For Caderyn when he uses someone who has put their trust into him and he betrays it, especially if he does so without thinking. It torments him when he this happens and he is trying to reconcile it as much as he can. He has tried to have closer friends over the years but when he showed two sides, acting differently when just around them and when around others, they always would leave saying he needed to choose. So while Caderyn is not antisocial or without any empathy towards others he is hesitant to let any humans past his true barriers from the fear of not wanting to hurt them but from not wanting to get hurt himself either. The best friends that Caderyn can have are those who will understand that he might use them to help himself get to where he needs but he does protect those pieces.
History:
Caderyn was the product of a flight between his mother Branwyn of Green Delyth and A’dras of Bronze Gareth. He was born in High Reaches Weyr, where his mother was from, and spent his entire life in the Weyr. He was raised with his mother alongside his twin half-brothers Henwas and Huarwar who were born of another dragonrider, G’hin of Blue Mawrth. G’hin was a rival of A’dras, always trying to one up the other rider. Henwas and Huarwar grew up knowing of their father’s rivalry with A’dras and treated their brother Caderyn the same way. Because the threat of thread was in the distance Branwyn worked on helping to raise her own boys in the weyr though she did find herself wondering some if the three boys would be better off in crèche.
With his elder brothers constantly tormenting him, Caderyn learned to keep his true self hidden away from the world. He started to enjoy the company of his mother and animals more than other humans. This changed when he was ten years old and was wandering around the weyr. He ran across his brothers and their friends bullying a group of younger children. Anger flared at Caderyn at this sight and he rushed over confronting his brother’s and getting in their way. Henwas was angry at being called out as a coward in front of his friends that he threw a punch at Caderyn. The punch connected and broke Caderyn’s nose but woke something up in the boy that he had never been able to show before. He lunged at Henwas and pinned his brother to the ground, punching him in the face over and over and when Huarwar tried to pull Caderyn off of Henwas, Caderyn just pushed his brother back. Huarwar rushed from the group to get their mother but the two boys were pulled apart by both G’hin and A’dras. G’hin was glaring at A’dras telling him to get his ‘brat’ under control but A’dras kept calm taking Caderyn away from the area.
Caderyn didn’t apologize for attacking Henwas when he was alone with his father. He explained that the other had been bullying others and he had finally gotten fed up with it. A’dras listened to his son as he spoke and waited to speak to him. He told Caderyn that he wasn’t in the wrong but attacking and not stopping is giving into your rage and that is when you go from protecting someone to just fighting. Branwyn was worried about Caderyn when he and A’dras returned home. Caderyn watched his mother and father talking for a moment and then snuck near the door to peak out when he heard his mother’s cry. What he saw was his father standing over the slumped form of G’hin. Branwyn rushed out there to the two of them and Caderyn was horrified as he saw his father run. Caderyn didn’t know what happened to his father or where he went the only thing that continued to bother him was why his father, such a brave man, had killed G’hin and then ran.
When Caderyn turned fourteen years old he went for his first standing. He was not chosen but the prospect of being able to become a dragonrider like his father was a very strong ambition. He wanted to prove that his father did not taint him and that he could and would be a better man and soldier. He is still waiting to Impress but he knows that he will.
Thread returned in at the end of Caderyn's 16th year, after multiple tries to stand, and failing to Impress. He continues to not worry about impressing quite yet, though he is beginning to worry and he finds a dire need in wanting to help fight the Threadfall. He worries for his mother as she takes place in flights, though he was proud of his Weyr for being prepared.
