FULL APPEARANCE:
Cove is a tall and solidly built young man that does not miss leg day.. or arm day.. or running day... you get the idea. He has a muscular frame to match his hard working and active lifestyle and an appetite to match it. He keeps his dark hair pulled back, either in a low horsetail or pinned back with leather strings, not really caring for what might be considered typical styles of those of his gender.
A smile often crosses his face and lights up his aquamarine eyes like fireflies in a summer evening sky. His skin tone is darker, a year round tan and it sometimes is darker even in the summer and fall months when he spends as much time outdoors as possible.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Cove is a very kind and quiet young man with a heart of gold. If he can help someone, then he will do his upmost to do so, be it with words, offering a listening ear or in some form of deed. Always seeking to lift the spirits of those around him, he often is ready with a bit of friendly advice and willing to go above and beyond to help accomplish goals.
However his immense curiosity often cause him to be a bit tactless and often will ask questions that cause others to be uncomfortable or that are painful without realizing it, but his demanding pursuit of answers makes him stubborn as a mule as well and may not endear him to some. He also has a tendency to hold grudges, often for years at a time and is not as quick to forgive those that wrong him.
However, he is sincere when giving compliments and does not pretend to be interested in something or someone if he is truly not, he is not a people pleaser and will speak his heart, even if it could get him hurt in the long run. If he finds that special someone or develops strong bonds to others, he is a friend for life, will give even the shirt off his back to help them and is very fiercely loyal.

BIRTHPLACE: Ista Weyr
HISTORY:
Cove was born to a rider father and a weyrfolk mother in Ista weyr. His birth was the result of a tryst during a flight. As such his parents were not that romantically involved and his mother hardly paid him much mind, took care of his needs but beyond that, she just could not feel that connection most parents did. So early in his life, she decided to give him to the creche to raise, as being a parent never really something she desired. His father on the other hand, visited every chance he got between his rider duties, was there every name day, with sweets and a present.
Cove was a curious child, intelligent and with a love for all living things. He liked to sing and play make believe games with his toys, that he was a brave dragon rider and flying alongside his father. He was also not afraid to ask tough questions, as his great curiosity demanded answers and not everyone was willing to answer everything of course.
So it was when he was old enough, he made that dream a reality and applied to candidacy. Once in, he enjoyed the studies, getting to know other students and the excitement of hatchings. His father decided to move while he was in early candidacy to High Reaches to aid with the rebuilding of the weyr in the wake of strife and thus Cove followed and became a High Reaches candidate and eagerly awaited the hatchings.
What he was not prepared for... was the chaos of the hatching where he ended up bonding. A pair of golds hatched, a brown mauled a candidate to death before it impressed.. to name a few of the major occurrences. His own impression had been a beautiful thing.. to a gorgeous green named Eponath. She, like him, was a gentle soul and it was a fantastic match.
He loved his dragon very much and often the pair were seen out exercising more than was required, be it gliding, flying or just sprinting. While his dragon was not a big conversationalist, she made up for with simple gestures and her love of being outside synced with his own. His parents continued to quarrel throughout his weyrling hood, as despite never really being a pair, they continued a strained attempt at a relationship and it eventually ended with them deciding to split fully.
Covenis decided that once Semaca opened their borders, that he was leaving High Reaches behind, and start anew. Cove soon followed when he was able, feeling nothing kept him tied there any longer and he desired to be able to see his father whenever he had the chance.
