FULL APPEARANCE:
Standing at 6' 2" in height, T'eri is a tall man, but not very large. He is 160 lbs. of slender bones and lean muscle from his Turns of work around the Weyr, but he seems to have trouble building the muscle to appear studly and massive like some men. T'eri doesn't really care. His build lends itself to acrobatics and speedy sprints, but T'eri lacks the stamina to last in a long-distance race; he's a short-distance sprinter, like a cheetah.
T'eri sports light chestnut brown hair in silky waves, cut to just above his shoulders. He also sports mild scruff on his face. Whether he enjoys this addition to his appearance of if he simply forgets to shave it is up for debate. His eyes are a dark brown, almost black in color, and wide open. Except when he's sleeping. Gotta have eyes closed to get that shuteye! His skin is lightly tanned from being out in the sun, and without freckles or any other skin blemishes.
When it comes to clothing, T'eri prefers his casual garments loose to promote air flow when he's running around and doing his thing. He's often seen in a sleeveless shirt and short pants, though he always wears proper garb when Thread is predicted and he is to fly to combat it.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
T'eri isn't...the brightest glow in the basket, to put it bluntly.
An emotionally driven man, T'eri is often seen as reckless and all-over-the-place, when the truth is that he just has some difficulty regulating his emotions and keeping everything in check. Loyal to the end, T'eri will stick to his loved ones like glue and refuse to let go, sacrificing everything to protect them and please them. Even if his friends betray him and cast him aside, he doesn't care! T'eri will come bouncing back, ready to give a second chance. And a third. And a twentieth.
People are T'eri's passion. He is absolutely devoted to protecting everyone around him, and he views fighting Thread with Banajeth as the greatest honor and his most sacred duty. Pern needs every dragonrider to defend her and her people. By Faranth, T'eri will be there to do fight this menace, no matter what may come! That said, he can't protect everyone all at once, and the thought that someone, somewhere may need his help weighs heavily on his mind quite often.
Additionally, T'eri loves being physically active. It's a great way to get all that excess energy out! Be it something silly like running around waving his arms around like an octopus or something practical like sparring or training, he loves it all! Dancing is a favorite activity of his, though he's not very good at it. Above all, however, he loves flying, and will take every opportunity to fly places with his beloved blue Banajeth, even for the smallest errands.
All in all, T'eri is a friend to everyone, a total goofball around those closest to him, and extremely passionate. He makes up for his general lack of cleverness with his bright and upbeat attitude. He'll fly into a righteous rage or a bout of crying before he even knows what the problem is, and is drawn to try to help everyone. It's his job to protect Pern with Banajeth, and he loves it; he accepts this duty with great pride.

BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY:
Toberi was born to riders in flightlust, the first child of either parent. He was raised in the creche with all the other children, though he physically grew at a ridiculous rate, shooting up like a weed. Toberi could only grow up and nowhere else, and thus developed a lean frame of muscle from his love of physical activity and an unbeatable optimism. If you're at the bottom, the only way to go was up!
Toberi stayed out of trouble during his youth...for the most part. Like the rest of his peers, he entered Candidacy as soon as he was able, at age 15. He began with high hopes, but those hopes gradually dwindled as the Turns passed and he was consistently left behind on the Sands. Toberi began to wonder if there was something wrong with him; something that made him undesirable to the dragonets.
Toberi was wrong. There was someone waiting for him.
When that blue broke free from his shell and toddled over to Toberi, his life changed forever. Banajeth was perfect. Together, there was nothing they couldn't face and overcome. Toberi elied his name in the Traditional way, becoming the weyrling T'eri of Banajeth; a new blue-rider!
Weyrling classes was a wild ride for both man and dragon, but they passed, albeit a little on the low side. Well, that was fine! It just meant that their worth would be proven when they came out on top. Their first threadfalls went well, with only one injury in the form of a badly sprained ankle for T'eri. But everything was a-OK; perfectly fine! They had each other, and that was all that mattered now.
