Name: H'sad -- Formerly Hanasad
Age: 28
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Flexible
Weyr: High Reaches Weyr
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Weyrbrat
Physical Description: H'sad has always been a handsome man. He sports the paler color of High Reaches, with fair skin that burns easily in the summer sun, and pale blond hair. He keeps his hair on the short side; long enough to run his fingers through it, but too short to get in his way. His grey eyes are gentle, and a warm smile is often etched upon his features. He stands about 5'10", with a slimmer build, and average muscle tone. Unfortunately, the man does wear a few scars; a bad tangle during Thread's return left him with a few ugly scars on his face, neck, and shoulders; they healed well, but his vanity sometimes wonders if they're too much of a distraction.
Personality:
H'sad is known for his cheerful and sweet nature. He's always been the sort of man to look at the glass half full, and is known to see the world through rose colored glasses. He rarely lets things bring him down, and can often find the silver lining in any situation. He loves picking people up when they are done, or at least brightening their day. Some might not appreciate his happy out look, but H'sad can't help it -- life is too short to be miserable. So it is, he'll often do what he can to spread cheer to anyone who gives him more than a second of their time.
On top of being a happy-go-lucky man, H'sad is known to be affectionate. He isn't afraid to get into another's personal space. He's one of those men who tend to be a hugger, in any situation; with those he's close to he'll offer kisses on the cheek or brow, or rub someones back when they are ill. He's just not uncomfortable with physical contact which might make others uncomfortable around him. Touch is important to H'sad, as it's just another sign to tell someone they're important and they're loved. Also, to be clear, affectionate though he might be it is never meant to be suggestive or taken past platonic friendship or support. He's long past his days of turning his affection into a romp -- he's got Dristan for that!
Of course, his weyrmate Dristan gets 99% of his touching. He's highly affectionate with him, and certainly isn't afraid of public displays. While he used to be a flirt, he's loyal to the healer, and has eyes only for him. He loves the man as much as he loves his dragon; and has loved him for longer. This does mean he can be prone to getting jealous. He knows Dristan is a sexy man, and an incredible healer. Sometimes he can't help but get broody if he feels he's not getting the proper attention, or affection. Or worse, that Dristan is too involved in his work. He tries to make sure the man doesn't overwork himself, but he also knows that he's in hot demand.
Unfortunately, H'sad is a bit of a lazy beast. Not only does he lack ambition to do anything more with his life, but he's most content doing the bare minimum to skirt by. He's never been known to have a good work ethic. While he always makes sure his gear is in good shape, and he certainly doesn't skirt around the edges for Cinonth's safety and health, the rest of the world could burn for all he cares. He never picked up a hobby or craft, as his eyes had always been on Impression and dragonriding. Dragons are his passion, but he never bothered to see if there was anything else he wanted to do. His hobbies tend to be dragonrider related, and have only gotten worse since the return of Thread.
He was born in High Reaches Weyr and will die in High Reaches Weyr.

History: Hanasad is a High Reaches Weyr native. He was born during the harsh winter months to one of the Weyrs older Candidates. The girl had him, and promptly put him in the creche to be fostered. She had no interest in him, and whether or not she actually Impressed, Hanasad has no idea. He knows nothing of his origins, and was raised mostly by the weyrfolk and foster parents.
For much of his life, he did what was typical of weyrbrats. He played, he got into trouble, and he did everything he could to get close to dragons. He was a happy child, and had no complaints. He also had no real ambitions. For as long as he could remember, he knew that he wanted to ride a dragon. And while he understood that it wasn't guaranteed, there was a certainty within the lad that couldn't be shaken.
He'd find his lifemate, one way or another. He just needed the opportunity!
So it was, Hanasad waited for that golden opportunity and it came during his 14th Turn. Like other boys his age, he didn't hesitate to stand for clutches as a Candidate. Being weyrbred it was his right, and though he had no parent to impress, or any family to cheer him on, he knew he'd do the Weyr proud. In fact, he was so certain of this he didn't even bother studying a craft; instead, he preferred to work in the kitchens and help the uncles and aunties prepare meals. Not only did he often get extra treats, but sometimes he was able to help feed firelizards.
Candidacy also went by without too much incident. While he didn't Impress as quickly as he hoped, that was where he first met a dark haired boy named Dristan. The two of them were roomed together, and he became fast friends with the Holdbred boy. While Hanasad made friends with many, there was just something about Dristan that he liked a little bit more than most.
As they aged, Hanasad's interest became a full-fledged crush. He pined for the young man, and after some time, he finally did confess his feelings. Thankfully, they were reciprocated, and the two boys became the resident ball-and-chain. Dristan was his one true love, and he thought nothing could come between them...
Until Cinonth.
At turn 20, he Impressed a lively and ambitious blue. The love he felt for Cinonth immediately made everything pale in comparison, and everything in his world got ever-so-slightly displaced. Thankfully, while he loved Cinonth, Cinonth also seemed to approve of Dristan.
Though the other had no Impressed, H'sad did his best to include Dristan as often as he could. Being a weyrling meant their schedules were different, and though it was difficult, H'sad did what he could to make sure the healer knew he was still loved. Thankfully, it didn't take too long to graduate, and H'sad was still certain a dragon was out there for Dristan.
Turns passed and with every failed Hatching, H'sad resolved that they were just one more Hatching closer to him finding his lifemate. Unfortunately, that wasn't meant to be.
While the pair have had their struggles, H'sad has no doubts about his love for the healer. While he wishes his lover had Impressed, he's also happy to have him in his life as a healer. Cinonth loves him, and he often jokes that the blue had clearly Impressed to them both.
When Thread returned, H'sad did get injured during the battle. Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as it could have been; and while he wears the scars on his face and shoulder, he tries not to let it get him down. Dristan doesn't seem to mind.
Other:
DRAGON
Name: Cinonth
Age: 8
Color: Blue
Size: 25'
Physical Description:
Personality: Cinonth is a very friendly and amicable dragon! He's as cheerful as his rider, and just as optimistic. He's also a very affectionate blue. While he loves cuddling with his rider, he'll not hesitate to curl up around Dristan. And if Dristan isn't around, he'd be the sort to make friends with someone else who looked like they could use some cuddles, and snugle up to them instead. He's a talkative dragon, and not at all shy.
Unlike H'sad, though, Cinonth has ambition, drive, and can be fierce when he needs to be. Where his rider might not have much desire to do much than laze about, the blue tries to keep H'sad on his toes. Flying drills, competing in Wing events, and flaming Thread are tasks he readily enjoys. While he doesn't want to move up in rank, he does want to be the best he can be.
