NAME: Bright Noa

ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

BIRTHDATE: Midwinter 2746
AGE: 22 as of summer 2769
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: space dad Wingrider
WING: Midnight Wing

APPEARANCE
EYES: Dark brown
HAIR: Black
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5' 9", solid
PLAY-BY: Bright Noa (Gundam)
FULL APPEARANCE: Noa is a commanding presence. He looks inspection-ready at any given moment, with his clothes neatly kept. His short black hair is neatly groomed, and his posture is impeccable. He usually looks alert and prepared, and carries himself with the air of someone who knows exactly what he's doing. He looks far older than his Turns - not aged prematurely, but just confident and mature. Though not the tallest of men, most people tend not to notice this fact, because he seems taller and older than he is.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Noa is the team dad. He takes the lives of the people he works with seriously, and will run himself into the ground to keep his wing safe and well. A brilliant strategist for his age, he knows how to use individuals' strengths and weaknesses for the benefit of the group. He expects a lot from both his wing and himself, and isn't afraid to slap and berate people who he feels are underperforming or endangering the others. Not even Argamath is safe from his scoldings. He just wants everyone to do the best they can, for the good of the mission. He treats rules as guidelines more than strict laws, and will break whatever rules he feels like in order to achieve his mission and keep his wing safe.

He carries over this aura of responsibility to when he's off duty. His wing is having a beach party? He'll sit there, in full uniform, and supervise. This has led to some romantic difficulties, his potential love interests thinking that he doesn't return their feelings and only sees them as his co-workers. Many people are surprised on the rare occasions that he acts his age rather than like a thirty-Turn-old man. His dad-ness on duty will only increase as he gets older, but he'll mellow when off duty. Hopefully.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Parents, Chemin - daughter, White Base crew
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Mirai of Green Lieuteth
BIRTHPLACE: Telgar Weyr
HISTORY: Born as the only child to a busy pair of Telgar crafters, Noa had a pretty conventional upbringing for a weyrbrat. He made up his mind that he was going to be a dragonrider early on, and focused himself on that goal. He spent more time with various friendly riders than other children and didn't have a lot of friends growing up. As soon as he aged in, he began to Stand for clutches.

He distinguished himself among his fellow candidates early on, taking charge during group chores and absorbing lessons quickly. He wasn't a candidate for long, Impressing at 15 to brown Argamath. Noa's weyrlinghood went as brilliantly as his candidacy had, as did his early days in his first wing. His wingleader took a liking to him, wanting to promote him in a couple Turns, but his wingsecond and a couple of ambitious wingmates got jealous. Buried under complaints of favoritism, Noa decided to transfer to Fort.

At Fort, he met a brilliant young candidate-turned-weyrling named Mirai who shares his sense of responsibility and team-parenting. Hopefully he'll have better luck with her.

Argamath


BASICS
NAME: Argamath
BIRTHDATE Late winter 2761
AGE: 7 as of summer 2769

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 52 ft
HEIGHT: 13 ft
WINGSPAN: 79.5 ft
COLOR: Brown
HEX CODE: #89623B
FULL APPEARANCE: Argamath is a striking brown. Large for his color, nearly as large as small golds, he's well-proportioned and strongly built. Though not graceful, he can fly far and high. His wings are a tiny bit large for his length and height, but not awkwardly so, and they give him a tiny bit of extra lift. His hide also makes him stand out. His base color is a very pale tan, speckled generously with a slightly darker tan. His wings fade from tan at their tips to a deep, almost black-brown near his neck. He has a masklike marking of bright red on his face, and this same red runs down his back.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Double the dad. Argamath shares his rider's sense of responsibility for his wingmates, and is just as focused when on duty. He expects a lot of himself and his rider, and will push Noa as hard as his rider pushes him. He is extremely resilient and will keep working through injury and exhaustion, often to the point of foolishness. As with any dragon, he has a short memory, but tries not to let his rider's lingering memories and moods interfere with his own like some other dragons might.

Off duty, Argamath loosens up a lot, turning into more of an embarrassing dad than a strict dad. He's a shameless flirt with ladies of any color, but especially golds. He's an enthusiastic wingman for his rider, much to Noa's embarrassment, and won't hesitate to inform women that his rider thinks they're pretty. He thinks human food and drink are fascinating, especially klah. It's brown, like him, and his rider drinks it, even though it tastes disgusting. Something about it must be cool!
