Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dea cracked her whip, and I must obey.
Name: Rhiyn
Age: 16 turns
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: Weyrbrat
Rank: Candidate
Location: High Reaches
Physical Description: Rhiyn has a small, lithe form. He could easily be mistaken for a femal, if it weren't for his usual stance. He is scarcely 5'1; and he stands up to his inches. All of them; because when you don't have many to spare, you need every inch to prove your worth. He is slender and has delicate facial features on a sharply shaped face. His hair is a curly mass of black-brown, and he is tan. Freckles adorn his nose and cheeks. His blue eyes stand out in his tanned face, making them appear larger than they are.

Personality: Rhiyn wants you to know that you are flawed. In far more ways than he is. This candidate believes he is perfection personified, and nothing any dimglow says is going to change his opinion. This overzealous, confident boy believes he knows the answer to everything. Unless, you know, there's a pretty girl in his vicinity. He seems to clam up, then, unsure what to say. He may stumble over his words if he tries to talk to her; but it's more likely that he'll run off to bother someone else.

He takes great pleasure in correcting those around him. He loves poking holes in people's logic. He loves to tease. He has a sense of humor and enjoys laughing with people as much as he does laughing at them.

Rhiyn isn't very good when it comes to sharing his emotions. He tends to close himself off, keeping his feelings internal. When his foster brother, G'ret died during Threadfall eight months ago, this became even more apparent. Rhiyn will not speak of G'ret. He seems to become angry whenever his foster brother is mentioned; but really, it's his way of coping. His irritability is driven by grief. He was always particularly close to G'ret, rather than his milk mother. G'ret was six turns his senior and Rhiyn was in awe of him.

It took three days for Rhiyn to accept that G'ret was gone.

Rhiyn is well aware that he's only sixteen turns old. While he prefers to think he knows everything, there are many things he doesn't understand. Why Thread had to come back. Death. Why the sun comes up in the same spot every morning when you feel like all Pern's ending. It terrifies him to admit that. Thread terrifies him.

He seems especially close to Demanthra (Dea) and opens up to her more than he does most. They're close friends currently, but at sixteen turns old, who knows where their relationship will go?

Rhiyn a sweet young man, if a bit vain and cowardly. R'yn is young, and he knows that. He will sometimes use his youth to his advantage--but it is more likely to be against him, he feels.
Positive Trait List playful, loving, humorous,
Negative Trait List vain, tactless, keeps things to himself, trouble sharing emotions, trouble accepting own emotions
History: Rhiyn was born to a bronze rider and a greenrider as result of a flight. He was quickly fostered to Fovila, a woman who had a son close to his own age. The younger two were only months apart. However, he was closer to his elder foster brother, G'ret.
His childhood went by without much incident; Rhiyn grew strong (but not very big), as G'ret liked to say. He did make friends, but there was one in particular of note; Rhiyn met Demanthra when he was six turns old. They were both weyrbrats. Demanthra was two turns his senior, and so talented! Meeting Demanthra, while she was playing her pipe, he was filled with admiration for the older girl. It awoke a love for music that the Weyrharper's teaching tunes couldn't satisfy. Demanthra taught him to employ that love.

Rhiyn's love for music is no secret, but he likes to behave as if it is. His foster mother encouraged his love of it, but couldn't demonstrate. She was tone deaf and though she sang--her foster son preferred her not to. While he loves music, he never desired to become a harper.

His foster brother Impressed the first time he stood, to a bronze named Aplaisth. He'd been thrilled for G'ret! Thrilled! And--maybe a little envious. He wa twelve when his brother Impressed, and in absolute awe of him.

It didn't help that G'ret went out of his way to impress his brother. Once Aplaisth was old enough, he took his younger brother out (or up) as often as he was able.

Eight months ago, Thread returned, and with it, it took Rhiyn's brother. He remembered the scream from Aplaisth before they went between. Rhiyn has had a difficult time with his grief since, struggling to verbally express how he feels.

Candidate Specific Questions
Do you want them to have an official Search RP? No
Do you understand they will age every passing year regardless if you're there to RP the or not? Yes
Do you want them to have a possible Stands Impression? No
- - - > Please keep in mind that Stands Impressions are very rare. This means that not everybody will get an opportunity to have a surprise Impression, and you lower your chances of being picked by a dragonet. Given the character is not ICly an official Candidate, they will need a reason to be at the Weyr of their choice long-term, or at least for every Hatching.

Hey Thali

So this is close to being approved. His history just seems a bit bare bones. You mention his foster mother had a son close to his own age. If that's G'ret do you feel 6 turns is "close" to his own age? Or was that someone else not currently mentioned?

Either way, while a Weyrbrat doesn't have to be Searched, he also likely had to do something with his life other than be a know-it-all. Is he studying anything in the mean time? Had he any interests in anything?

If he's good friends with Dea's character, how did they meet? Were they both weyrlings or weyrbrats together? I figure if she's mentioned in his personality then she should come up in his history as she's an important figure in her life right now.

I think if you just add a little bit of history, he should be good to go!
