Name: Y’qua (Born Yilequa)
Age: 24 (Born 3550.12.3)
Sex: T*Male
Sexual Orientation: Eh...
Weyr: High Reaches Weyr
Rider Rank: Weyrling
Previous Rank/Craft: Archivist Apprentice
Physical Description: Y’qua doesn’t, by any means, cut any impressive figure for a dragonrider, and that’s perfectly fine for him! He has an overly thin form, with just a bit of a curve to his hips. His chest is rather small to begin with, making binding easier. His facial features are rather sharp, with a rather cut jaw-line and sharp chin and nose. Y’qua’s nose is crooked from being broken as a child, a result of when he was more bitey and unsure about himself and the appendage never set quite right. He has a rather messy undercut, kept shaved on the sides and a floof of dirty blonde hair on top. His eyes are a more soft brown, much like a cup of klah with too much milk added. When he was young, his eyesight started to go blurry, and thus needs a pair of crafted glasses for his regular day-to-day routines to see properly. Having since impressed Heimdath, he had a pair of goggles made to allow him to see in the air without worry of losing his glasses due to wind. The skin on his knuckles is rough and scarred from fighting as a child, though he tries to use creams to soften the scars.

Personality: Y’qua is an.. interesting person. He’s more of an introvert, even from a young age. He was never a personable sort, prefering to keep to books and scrolls over his peer group. Given that he was designated the wrong gender at birth, he grew up as a rather bitey child -- something that would carry over even into his budding adulthood. Y’qua is a sarcastic person within his own peers, when goaded it’s easy for him to toss a barb or word full of teeth at one in his weyrling class. He wants to be alone, rather skirting around free time with his classmates in favor of time spent with Heimdath and pouring over latest texts he was able to get from the archives. Any time spent with large crowds, that isn’t focused aspects of riding like drills or classes, is taxing on him and leaves him even more brusque.

Yet he isn’t one to skirt his duties or responsibilities -- rather, he enjoys his classes and drills. Anything new to learn he soaks up eagerly, and is never quite shy about asking a question to understand something. Even if he’s annoyed with current company, he is driven to complete a task to completion. Yet he grows impatient with his peers, especially if he has to sharding explain something that really seems.. so simple.

There is a budding fire in Y’qua, quick to rise temper -- especially if someone wants to jab at his gender. While that has tempered out some with age, it’s still quite the sore spot if someone presses on it. His squawking has left a big target on his back for bullying, even if it never goes beyond much teasing for reaction’s sake. But it leaves him hurt and aching for solitude in Heimdath’s company, preferring to once again be alone in favor of company that just.. doesn’t understand, and never will understand.

Positive Trait List Observant, Inquisitive, Task-oriented, Sarcastic
Negative Trait List Quick-to-anger, Introverted, Impatient, Misunderstood

History: Yilequa was born as a result of flightlust aftermath in High Reaches Weyr. He was told he was dropped by his mother but named first. It would be a driving force for his special interest in arches, and from the moment he was old enough to be allowed, would spend hours upon hours pouring over archives and family lineages trying to find any sort of relation that his name may have come from, but every search would always come up empty.

Raised in the creche with a gender designation that never sat quite right, Yilequa would prove to be a rather feral child whenever he was called anything but what he wanted. Feminine pronouns and more frilly dressage never sat well, and when he was shy of ten, Yilequa finally declared himself a he. Any of the other creche children that didn’t respect that was found on the receiving end of a rather scrappy young Yilequa -- biting, punching, until he was sat down that he could not keep on fighting the Weyr with tooth and nail. Scars were forming, with the youth just on the edge of eligibility for candidacy. Faced with the dilemma of carrying on and not having a chance at candidacy, or clean up and face such an honor -- Yilequa cleaned up his act.

Candidacy from the start was a hard shift. While he was learned, and eager to learn even more -- it became apparent that he wasn’t quite like his other peers. There was a bit of a disconnect, some eager to learn, some not -- some not as bright. It was almost a bit of a let down. The jeers never quite stopped, but Yilequa learned to trade one weapon for another--where he had used his fists and teeth, he now used words. Scathing remarks helped glaze over the wounds left by others, even if he retreated to lick them in private and scrub tears off his face. Between lessons and chores, he traded time others spent together on more academic pursuits. Yilequa spent time pouring over lineages and family histories, trying to find his own missing link and always coming up empty. Yet, once those ended, he would pour over other tomes and documents, eventually beginning to learn how to care for them as the turns grew on. Sixteen clutches came and went, all dragons passing him by.

Turns would pass, and as Yilequa would face the possibility of aging out, the inevitable happened.

Uridith and Takarath’s latest clutch hatched on a morning, twenty-two eggs that yielded twenty three dragons.Yilequa had thought it to be seventeen under his belt, until in the later portion of the hatching, he felt more than saw the little green sitting near the back of the clutch. His Heimdath had wanted to wait-- to watch and make sure all her siblings were seen off safely, but hunger drew her from her silent, watchful post, so if he wouldn't mind..? Yilequa, now Y’qua, had seen to it swiftly, if off to the side.

Other: Y'qua takes up sketching from time to time. Nothing good, but sometimes he gets inspired.

DRAGON
Name: Heimdath
Inspiration: The Hermit
Origin of Name: In the Vikings version of the Tarot, The Hermit is represented by Heimdallr standing watch at the edge of Asgard, awaiting the signs of Ragnarok. Heimdallr is also known as the Watchman of the Norse Gods.
Color: Green

Personality This dragon is not one for the spotlight, to be sure. Heimdath is a rather solitary dragon, preferring to stay back and observe the going-ons of dragons around her. This self-made seclusion is usually time taken to reflect upon herself or her rider, sometimes even things that did not particularly include her but happened around her. A time for reflection is never truly wasted, for she may suss out what happened and what may have gone better -- and feel that she had been made all the better for it. It is not unusual to see Heimdath rather stoically staring off into space, lost to the inner workings of her mind rather than be attuned to what was around her.

She often tries to give advice on her reflections, for what good it may do when what happened may have happened.. Not entirely recently. As she grows older, her reflections may not take so long, however as she grows it definitely takes time for her to suss out better answers for what may happen.

This attitude, especially wanting to give these little pieces of advice out (and most definitely finding out it had been so belatedly given), often lead her to shy away from his peers. Its then that her self-made alone time becomes rather isolated, and Heimdath begins to feel rather lonely. While she will always have Y’qua, there will always be a part of Heimdath that yearns for dragon companionship that understands her.

The one dragon that seems to utterly bring Heimdath to the light is her Sun of a brother, Aurinkoth. Her pensive states are always broken easily whenever the blue is around, and all the better for it. She stays more in the presence, and oftentimes draws inspiration from her sunny blue for an outlook.

Size: 20’

Physical Attributes: Heimdath, at first glance, does not look like a fit dragon. Running on the smaller side of the average, she has a thicker torso with gangly limbs, giving her a gaunt, underfed appearance. Yet she is quite healthy and eats regularly -- her frame is just not meant to keep up with the more stronger ones of her siblings. Her eyes are more rounded, and giving her tendencies to sit back and observe, give her an odd Watcher feel. Her tail is long but a bit crooked. Threadscore laces across her left shoulder, gentle and not terribly deep.

Additional Notes: Heimdath’s tail is a tad crooked, with the fork of her tail always raising a bit as if holding something up. A small nod to the Hermit card, as it is always seen holding the lantern with the six-pointed star, a symbol of wisdom. Her flame length is quite extended, but she has trouble maintaining a distance for a set amount of time. Flights will forever be a tricky thing for her, for she likes her peace and solitude as chances to reflect -- yet she yearns for companionship to share such reflection and ideas with. Spurned chasing will often result in a few days of little responses from Heimdath as she looks in on what she could have done better. Yet when it comes to rising herself, Heimdath will tend to put it off until she no longer can. Her hearts soaring and yearning to fill the void of loneliness.

Why Me: Oh, Yilequa. It will be okay. Your Heimdath knows what it’s like to not quite fit in, but yearn for it. Where Yilequa uses scathing remarks to keep people away, Heimdath offers odd advice that yields the same result -- a self-made sentencing into social exile. Yet if there were a dragon that could understand that wanting of companionship, of wanting friends and people who understood, it is Heimdath. When people become too much and they need a hideaway, Yilequa will have a comfort in Heimdath always. They can reflect together, learning what they need to to keep each other happy -- and one day use their skills to help.

One minor note - ICly, Zenobiath was the very last dragon to Impress. Heimdath can be the second to last to Impress, but cannot be the last.

I like the updates you've made! Just make this smol change and you'll be set!

Mr Cheri


Fixed!
Went for Impression vaguely towards later half.
Heim likely would've wanted to stay, but she was hungry. Poor bab.
