EXPY SOURCE: Dan Heng (Honkai Star Rail)
FULL APPEARANCE: Deng, while attractive enough, isn’t a man who particularly stands out. His appearance is kept neat, for the most part, though he only ever seems to wear his handler’s leathers. Deng doesn’t really have a casual set of clothes, and can very rarely be seen dressed down. However, his standard leathers are well taken care of and soft, a testament to his desire to keep things neat and orderly so far as his clothing is concerned.

While he’d prefer if it could lay flat, his hair is just the slightest bit wavy, a fact that aggravated him to no end. It’s still kept brushed and neat as he can manage, but those black locks of his will always be the slightest bit wavy, giving his hair a more messy look. This is the only part of himself he does not manage to keep neat and clean at all times. His skin is soft and on the paler side, and in general he tries to not let so much as a spec of dust ruin his looks.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Deng has a hard time expressing his emotions. Seemingly blank and cold, he’s not really the kind of person to have many friends, mainly due to his own inability to come off as anything but blank. His voice is a consistent monotone, and his responses are usually awkward at best. He still cares of course, he just doesn’t know how to express that. When one gets closer to him, he reveals a rather sassy side to his personality, being able to banter with the best of them. This requires him to be rather comfortable with the person in question, though, which is rare.

Deng tends to take things more seriously than most, and isn’t the best at detecting sarcasm in strangers. While he’s still capable of breaking rules, he prefers to follow them, and gets frustrated when the people around him don’t show the same regard for the rules. He doesn’t necessarily lash out when this happens, but his frustration can get very visible in the form of shorter, more clipped responses and a refusal to look at the person in question.

Deng is not a fan of seeing other people hurting, for all that he seems indifferent at times. He gets perhaps a little too invested in helping at times, to the point of causing himself physical or sometimes emotional hurt. He rarely takes care of himself emotionally besides the bare minimum, believing that there’s no real point in pampering himself. Physically, while he takes care of his looks, he doesn’t always allow himself to heal from injuries or illnesses quite as much as he should. Why would he lay around when there’s work to be done?

HISTORY
FAMILY: None that he is currently in contact with.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: lol
BIRTHPLACE: Minor Hold
HISTORY: Deng was born in a rather small minor hold, to a family that was anything but warm. Growing up, he was expected to keep his feelings and emotions to himself, and thought it rather normal to not share these things with anybody. His parents would still provide for him, but they were more than a little detached from their son on the emotional side of things.

Deng didn’t have many friends because of this, and many saw him as an odd, distant child. He learned to keep his feelings from showing on his face, his voice a perfect monotone, so that his parents never had a reason to find fault with him. There were no physical punishments for messing up, but he really didn’t like the way his parents yelled. It was rather hypocritical of them, but Deng couldn’t do much about it.

Years passed in this way, and Deng chose to study under a smith when he was old enough to apprentice. The man was far from a specialized crafter, doing whatever the hold needed, but his work was beautiful enough to catch Deng’s eye. His mentor’s forges quickly became a form of escape for him, and he seemed to spend more time there than at home. This wouldn’t last forever, though. While his parents approved of his diligence, Deng felt as though it wasn’t quite enough. He genuinely cherished his time with his mentor, but something else was calling him.

By the age of 17 turns, he’d resolved himself to leave, and ended up finding himself on a boat to Semaca (after a heartfelt thanks to his mentor). This boat was a pirate ship, and something about it caught his eye. They were planning on selling wher eggs. In a stunning display of recklessness he’d never shown before, he purchased one of the eggs himself upon arrival to the somewhat new Weyr. He hadn’t originally intended to do it, intending to continue his craft, but something about the eggs seemed right.

When his egg hatched, an eye-catching green tumbled out, quick to snap but just as quick to accept the bond. He’d sealed his fate at the Weyr, and after joining their ranks, he was officially a wherling. As a hold kid, there was a steep learning curve. He hadn’t had much of a chance to learn much about whers, beyond their bonding method, and many things took a lot of trial and error to figure out. He did get it eventually, though, and found that his Engsk was a very reliable companion. She was patient with him, though not gentle, and seemed all too wise for a rather young wherlet.

Eventually, the pair graduated from wherlinghood, and Deng chose to join Chopin. It appealed to him the most, and his smithing experience would hardly go amiss there. Now at 20 turns, Deng has settled into his new life as a handler with his beautiful Engsk.

Engsk



BASICS
NAME: Engsk
BIRTHDATE Summer 2772
AGE: 3 as of Summer 2775

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: Sure
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 2

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 12ft
HEIGHT: 5ft
COLOR: Green
HEX CODE: #69D571
FULL APPEARANCE: Engsk is a pretty shade of light green, with her top half covered in mossy green tiger stripes. While tall enough for a green wher, she’s rather average in terms of overall bulk. Not particularly large or particularly small, Engsk has just the right amount of welcoming plumpness. Not yet scarred by experience and time, her hide is well-maintained and oiled, giving her a very clean and pleasant look. Her face is on the rounder side for a wher’s, though with all the normal wrinkles one can come to expect from a wher.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Engsk is a very patient individual. She’s very good at keeping her cool around even the most obnoxious of people, though her calmness doesn’t always equal kindness. Much like her handler, she can be sassy and bold, all the while insulting someone with a perfectly stony face. Her words are one thing, but her expression (as far as a wher can have one) is often blank, as is the tone used to deliver said sass.

She mainly cares about Deng and his loved ones, and isn’t particularly warm to anybody else. However, with those select few she enjoys being around, she’s perfectly gentle and warm. To anybody else, she may as well be a brick wall for all she seems to care about what they have to say. She will never outright say this, but finds ways to make her distaste well known to those who can’t get the hint.

DENSK



BASICS
NAME: Densk
BIRTHDATE Late Spring 2777
AGE: 00 as of 2777

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 13.25 ft
HEIGHT: 5 ft
COLOR: Brown
HEX CODE: #531c0e
FULL APPEARANCE: In size and build, Densk is a fairly average brown wher, a bit on the small side for his color, neither particularly thin nor overly muscular. He's a dark brown in color, with lighter markings tracing strange, abstract shapes along his flanks and stomach. Densk carries himself with remarkable confidence, walking into every room as if he owns it and everyone has just been waiting on him to arrive. The bottom of his feet are softer than most whers and he'll need the weyr tanners to make him some sort of shoe to avoid damage.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Densk is a very clever wher, quite possibly too clever for his own good, and unfortunately for him, he knows it. He's pretty much always hatching some overly complicated plan or scheme to try to get what he wants, not always thinking through the consequences as well as he thinks he has. He is fond of keeping his plans close to the chest and doesn't share more than he needs to. He's perfectly willing to lie. Densk wants to fix the world, starting with his weyr. He likes to solve problems, even ones that don't obviously have much to do with him. He's ambitious, to be sure, and prefers to be recognized for his efforts, but he also does genuinely want to make Pern a better place.

Densk is a wher who wants to be liked and will do his best to appear as what he thinks people want to see in him, quick with a joke or a compliment or whatever other combination of words he thinks will be best received. He walks the line between arrogance and insecurity, sure he is more competent and intelligent than the rest, but never quite feeling like he's enough. It will take even his handler time to learn who he truly is, although in time, he will open to them about his dreams and fears. No matter how much trust they build, he'll never share with them the next trick he has up his sleeve, but he will turn his mind and efforts to advancing their cause as well as his own.

Voice: Densk's voice is husky and a bit raspy, but quite expressive and not unpleasant to listen to

Why Me?: Someone in this crew needs to be a people-person, right?
