FULL APPEARANCE:
Ygbir is a short man, who is convinced that one day he'll get taller, even though he is already at his full height. His build is thin with little muscle, barely having enough to get through his tasks as a rider. His skin is tan and generally clear. He keeps his face clean shaven, as any attempts at growing facial hair are scraggly and pathetic. Always messy, his hair is brown and on the shorter side, so even when he does not style it (which is always) it's not in his eyes.
Clothing wise, Ygbir isn't one for style. He wears whatever he grabs first from the pile of garments he keeps in his room, even if it's dirty or torn. Even on special occasions, he doesn't wear nice clothes, but he'll at least make sure what he does pick out is clean. Generally he has a cheap and shabby air about him.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
To say Ygbir is immature would be an understatement. He's lazy, selfish, and becomes easily frustrated when presented with an obstacle. Often instead of persevering, he tends to give up before putting much effort in. If there is an obvious shortcut to a task, he will take it. He would always prefer to slack off than to just do his work, and he can often be found sneaking food from the kitchens or playing games instead of doing the tasks assigned him.
In terms of intelligence, Ygbir isn't terribly smart, either. He is easily outwitted in a debate, and has trouble following more high-brow conversation. He's been swindled out of his marks more than once, and would easily let it happen again. He frequently comes up with awful ideas, which he doesn't hesitate to act out. This has gotten him into trouble more than once. He is cowardly, and useless in a fight.
Of his few redeeming qualities, Ygbir is loyal to his friends. If a friend is truly in danger, he can muster up the courage to help them, but only in the most dire of circumstances. He is generally outgoing and outspoken, and does not have trouble striking up a conversation with strangers, provided they do not take it to too academic of a topic.

BIRTHPLACE: Benden Weyr
HISTORY:
TW: Parental favoritism
Ygbir was born to a Greenrider, Biratrice and her Weyrmate Ygaril, a drudge of Benden Weyr. He was raised largely in the creche, though his father did visit often to monitor how he was learning and getting along with the other weyrbrats. Often, Ygbir did not meet the expectations of his father, who held high hopes that one day his son would be a rider like his mother.
When he was 5 turns old, his younger brother was born, and some of the heavy expectations from his father were shifted to his brother, Biragar. Though this was a bit of a relief for Ygbir, he also resented the fact that his brother was the golden child, so much so that even Ygbir's friends often preferred to play with Biragar.
At age 10, with the official founding of Semaca Weyr, Biratrice and Ygaril uprooted their family and moved to the southern continent to help build the weyr. Not knowing what else to do with himself and certainly not wanting to dedicate himself to a craft, he enrolled in candidacy at age 15, hoping to spend plenty of turns without having to get a real job while appeasing his father's desires for him to be a rider. As a gift for becoming a candidate, his father purchased him a flit egg, which hatched into Knobber. Ygbir would tolerate the flit, wishing his father had bought him something that required less work to care for.
Aside from dealing with a cranky firelizard, the years of Ygbir's candidacy were of little note, he did just enough to get by, though he occasionally was given extra chores for slacking off too much. He fully planned to coast like this until he aged out, but his plans were thrown off when at age 18, he Impressed blue Pothecath.
Turns out, Pothecath was a great friend, and just the dragon Ygbir needed. The pair were well suited to each other, even if they could bring out the worst in each other when competition is involved. After graduating from weyrlinghood, they opted to join Chopin Squad, as it didn't require them to actively risk their necks to service the weyr.
