Name: Lesex - Lex
Age: 25
Sex: Gender fluid - Him/They pronouns if you please
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual / Poly
Weyr: Other
Rider Rank:Never past Weyrling training - is trouble
Previous Rank/Craft: Hunting/Forgering/Scrimshaw carving/some wood carving
Location: Jungles of Western


Physical Description: Lesex is a dandelion puff, he has a mass of white blonde hair that curls naturally and frizzes in high heat and humidity. Or when he uses a brush on it instead of a comb. He is certainly blessed with volume and mass and keeps it in a basic bob style in an attempt to keep it somewhat controlled.

At 5'7'', Lex is on the short side, but leggy. He is slightly narrow in the shoulders and chest. They like bright colors, blues, purples, red especially and tone it down with browns and soft grays. Silks, linen, cashmere, and fur are delightful but so are wool and cottons. Lex is touch oriented and it not usual for them to trace the embroidery patterns of their clothes.

They have complete heterochromia iridium. Their left eye is pale blue and their right eye is soft gray. They have an inverted triangle shaped face, ending in a gently pointed chin and the slightest point of ears.

Personality: Lex has a vivid personality. They have a love for attention, they enjoy talking to people. They seem to have a tireless amount to talk about and have a habit of repeating themselves when excited. They don’t have much of a filter, how they think tends to be how they speak and ooh sorry! They really didn’t mean to talk your ear off. What about you? They are surprisingly good listens, one on one, basking in the personal attention exchange but might attempt to overtake the conversation in a group. Pay attention to me!

They have a lot of energy, leading to productivity and a nearly tireless go, go, go. One more stop, one more stall, one more dance. Shopping is a major adventure because he has to touch nearly everything, tactile exploration is his main sense. Is it as soft as it looks? Is it cool? Warm? He is probe to tracing embroidery patterns and elegant metal work and etchings. He greets nearly everyone with an arm over the shoulder or a hug.

They are not one for planning, they tend to do first think later. If they have the money and see something they just absolutely have to have, ninety percent of the time, they spend first without a thought about exploring more. It was just so pretty. They are very much a risk taker, thinking of profit and gain instead of any thought of the dangers that could be lurking. Impulsive and poor risk assessment has lead them down trouble more than once but they are rather resilient, taking all failures with a grain of salt and learn, but not what anyone wanted them to learn.

Positive Trait List Vivid, Cheerful, Energetic
Negative Trait ListImpulsive, Risk taker, Hedonistic

History: Lesex has always been on the move for as long as he can remember with his mother and his older sister. Well with them till he impressed Nymphylath, there was just so much more to explore when he impressed her. He think he was born somewhere between River Crest and Oasis but does it really matter? His mother might have mentioned some relative that did something awful but that was so long ago that well, he doesn't care. His sis might but Lyra has always cared more.

They never had a lot, they lived on the land and his mother hunted and trapped native animals for their meat and fur. He learned what was edible, what was not. Which furs were valuable and how to properly skin an animal. He learned the basics of carving from an old wood worker when they traveled with a caravan and carried on, trying his best to carve bone and wood. Eventual through trial and error and much badgering of various crafters for tips when traveling he manged to be pretty decent.

The more Lesex grew the more they started to shift outside of solely masculine ideas and more well why did clothing have to have a gender. It is a piece of clothing. And it fit better and more snugly and was bright and had embroidery. Various cheap jewelry, and they could wear jewelry and layer skirts or dresses or cute knitted things if they wanted to.

In the late summer of 68 the caravan was in western weyr when there was eggs on the sand, to trade their goods. Lesex didn't think too much of it. They were finally settling on that they were not always male and sometimes they were non-binary and selling their wares to buy a very cute pair of hoop earrings. And a scarf, or several.

Well, they wanted a lot of things. Shop to you drop. They didn't think too much about the hatching that was going to happen soonish. The weren't a candidate and they weren't really invited to have a seat in the stands or what not important folk did.Well there was the betting, that part was good. So when the eggs started to rock instead of being inside they found themselves just outside the entrance, chatting to their sister and trying to keep an eye on the hatching colors.

They weren't getting taken on their bets. They were at least interested in watching enough to figure out the colors and payout. If there was a payout, but Lesex expected to be one. They were lucky after all.

What they didn't expect was a small tiny green to pick her way from the sand and to go nosing about the crowd gathered. Or the sharpness of her voice flooding them with emotion and love, acceptance.

They found themselves following the hatching out, slightly wobbly and adjusting to such an life changing event and after the hatching, and the few hours before the feast to catch up on all the things. Not the bet though, that thought had long since fizzled and died.

Being a weyrling was difficult. It was schedules, set classes and then a curfew when they have never had a curfew. Let alone not be able to seek company or have a drink and just not having any of the background. Nymphylath was worth it, the lessons and the chores, and not being able to do things he usually went out and did but Western Weyr was never considered home.

Nymphylath was fragile and L'ex learned quick how to tend and care for her and how to keep the fragility from being noticeable. L'ex was not the best student, but hoarded all they could about the between and geography. The only reason they probably stayed to the very end of the first year was Nymphylath urging to stay and learn what they could before leaving. Nymphylath also rose late and they both didn't want to leave till after her first flight.

It was fun.

Within the last week of the 12 month, they plotted and during the late hours, threw what they owned in pair of saddle bags and a pack, left a note, and blinked betweening to Oasis Hold to bed the night.

L'ex and Nymphylath set themselves up as a courier service, messages and product within reasonable size, transported where ever, no questions asked, and eventually met up with his mother and sister and the caravans and traveled with them.

Have they delivered illegal things? Probably. Do they care? Long as they are paying well? Nope, not really. Have they raided a herd of beast occasional? More the likely, but well, they would like to see you prove it.

DRAGON
Name: Nymphylath
Age: 5
Color: Green
Size: 20'
Physical Description: Appearance: Nymphylath is a dainty creature. Small in stature and with thin and delicate features. Looking at this green instantly gives the impression of gentleness, possibly even frailty. Her dark colours and striking markings do nothing to subtract from her gentle appearance. Nymphylath’s movements are graceful and fluid, even on the ground the green seems to flow like water, moving quietly and softly whenever she moves.

Personality: At first glance Nymphylath is just as gentle as her appearance would suggest, she is polite and soft-spoken, never speaking in anger or without thinking. To all the outside world Nymphylath is a sweet, albeit rather plain, green dragon. Content in herself, her place in the world and her life in general. Lesex however knows otherwise. Lesex has seen beneath the mask to the sharp-toothed grin beneath. Despite what she shows to the world Nymphylath is a clever and downright cunning dragon with a fierce ambition. This green knows what she wants and acts constantly to achieve it. Nymphylath knows what people think of her and uses it to her advantage, playing the sweet, naíve, delicate, little, green everyone thinks her to be. Yet all of this is to achieve her goals, whatever they may be, Nymphylath is willing to change and adapt her goals to her situation. There is always a way to better her and Lesex’s situation and Nymphylath is out to find it.

Nymphylath makes her way in life by being a pleasant and personable dragon, lending a sympathetic ear to any who should need. Lesex will know however, that although Nymphylath has many friends, not all of them are important to her, in truth few are. The green can be downright cold at times, sacrifices must be made for her and Lesex, she will not feel bad for making those necessary sacrifices. Her loyalty is to herself and her rider, and no other is worth risking their happiness for. Nymphylath will readily abandon anyone who has outlived their usefulness, even going so far as to use that abandonment to her advantage. Everyone can have a use as far as Nymphylath is concerned, even if that use is to be used as a pawn in her scheme only once.

Her plans require a very delicate hand and Nymphylath is always careful to try and avoid confrontation. Attracting negative attention and forming a bad reputation is dangerous. Others will not trust her if they realise she was the one orchestrating the event. No, every individual must be played carefully. Rather than telling information to the required party directly, it should be innocently mentioned to an individual in such a way that guarantees it trickling to where it needs to be. Nymphylath avoids fights if she can and picks her battles very carefully, playing the victim if it will turn others against her accuser. Should she be backed into a corner though her first weapon will be words, carefully thought out statements to turn her adversary around and unravel their attempt. Physical altercations should be avoided, but sometimes they are necessary. This is a last resort and one that Lesex should take care to avoid at all costs. Although Nymphylath is aware of what her appearance suggests to others, she can sometimes be blind to just how frail she actually is. Physically she is weak even by the standard her looks would suggest. It is very easy for the green to overexert herself and the risk of doing permanent harm will be present for her entire life.
