Diartan

"I have learned that to be with those I like is enough."-Walt Whitman

BASICS

NAME: Diartan
GENDER: Male
PRONOUNS: he/him/his
ORIENTATION: Homosexual

BIRTHDATE: Late Spring 2752
AGE: 24 of Late Spring 2776
LOCATION: Originally of Telgar Weyr; now of Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Dragonrider
WING: Midnight

APPEARANCE
EYES: Bright blue topaz
HAIR: Long, thick, wavy, dirty-blonde hair. Usually braided along the sides but mostly loose; except during Threadfall when it is braided and bound in a leather wrap.
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6'8”; He is massive and burly, broad and thickly muscled but lean and cut. He has a long face, sharply squared jaw usually with a bit of growth on it.
PLAY-BY: Brock Ohurn
EXPY SOURCE: Original Character
FULL APPEARANCE: Having grown up on a small Cothold farm, he dresses in simple, but colorful garments, shirts generally sleeveless, tight but giving pants and knee-high boots for walking through dense underbrush. His belt has a number of loops on it, for carrying various items to leave his hands free for working. He doesn’t get “gussied up” if he can help it.


PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Termed a gentle giant by most who actually get past the imposing fascade, D'artagnan at first is very intimidating due to his piercing blue eyes and generally solemn expression. His expression is haunted, his recent loss etched into his features. He is hard working at the worst of times and a machine at the best. He has a volatile temper, and while it used to take a long time to erupt, after Lothan's death, it simmers just beneath the surface. It takes a very cool head to talk him down once it's shown it's face. He's not violent, but his size and loud booming voice are enough to shake the rafters.
Having learned strong leadership skills from both parents, he takes responsibility seriously, and can drive those under his care with the same determination he possesses. Friendship and family mean a lot to him, be it the real or found family. After his Impression, he views the whole of the Weyr as family, and his loyalty shows in how he conducts himself, usually. He can, however, be stubborn as a mule when he believes he’s right; and it can take a very long time for him to understand he is wrong. And even then... he will still grumble about it.
He suffers from PTSD having been present when his lover, Lothan, died. Before Lothan's death, he was the friend to everyone, a smile always on his face and a laugh ready to burst forth. Now, he is afraid to let anyone close, preferring one or two close friends. The only exception to all this is children. He is endlessly patient with them, and in his spare time, he carves them little toys of wood. He doesn't like to be idle and whittling is a way to keep his hands busy.


HISTORY
FAMILY: Father Deceased complications to an illness in Winter 2766; Mother: Itienne (45); Sister: Aramis (20); Brother: Athos (18)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Single; mourning the loss of his lover, Lothan.
BIRTHPLACE:Small Farming Cothold in a valley south of Fort Telgar.
HISTORY:Born into a loving family, he was raised to believe that hard work brought the greatest rewards. He was blessed with a younger brother and sister only a few turns younger than himself. Together the family and few workers farmed the land, sending the tithes to Fort Telgar and thanking the heavens for the protection of the Weyr. The family’s belief that life is not guaranteed held them together when the patriarch died due to complications of an illness during the Winter of 2766. Taking up his father’s mantle alongside his mother, he helped manage the farm until, Dragonriders appeared at the farm early Summer of 2770. Taken to the Weyr as a candidate, he Impressed Porthosth on the sands at the Hatching that Fall. He took to the life of a Dragonrider with enthusiasm, he and Porthosth quickly earning themselves a place amongst their wing.

It was there he met Lothan, the two forming a deep friendship that eventually lead to a a pairing. Three years later, Lothan was dead in an horrific accident that D'artagan witnessed, and the once vibrant and outgoing D'artagnan became withdrawn, quiet and broody. He suffered from terrible nightmares, and panic attacks and finally the healers and Wingleader spoke to the Weyrleader and Weyrwoman suggesting a transfer away from the triggering memories of Telgar. Within the year, D'artagnan was transfered and took up a place in the Midnight wing, where he slowly puts his life back together. He is still quiet and unassuming, but very much present in the daily life of his Wing.

Porthosth

Porthosth
Image


BASICS

NAME: Porthos
BIRTHDATE Fall 2770 at Telgar Hold
AGE: 6 as of 2776



APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 56ft
HEIGHT: 14ft
WINGSPAN: 83.5ft
COLOR: Medium Bronze with very light bronze highlights that make him seem quite light in the sun.
HEX CODE: #b5bc8c
FULL APPEARANCE: Porthos, while big, is not overly muscled and bulky, he is long and lean, built for speed and endurance. He is a bit of a show off, enjoying aerial displays that emphasize this. His coloring is a bit flashy as well, with a medium bronze base that lightens along highlight points all along his body to a light bronze. His markings are subtle, the medium bronze bands on all four legs and a blocky looking band around the base of his neck, a mask like marking along the level of his eyes and on the tips of his head-knobs, while the light bronze appears at the tips of his spine. His wing-sails seem to glow during flight as the pale bronze color gleams along them.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Porthos is seemingly aloof with everyone, head always held high, and looking down his long nose at others. He is always calculating everything he sees on a given day. He is very ambitious, and butts heads with D'art at times seeing as his Rider is content to be where he is right now. They are a good pairing, however, since the two halves of that coin make for a very steady partnership. He tends to be a tad cooler headed than his Rider, and will intercede bodily if he needs to. Porthos has a tendency, due to his young age to show off, and play pranks, to which D'art is usually secretly amused by them. He's a little randy, but has only had two flights per Turn since reaching maturity, making his Rider disappear into his rooms until it's over. The pair can usually be found in the skies, practicing maneuvers and keeping skills sharp, mostly because it's a way to keep Porthos in hand. Porthos is always attempting to quell the nightmares and insecurities within his Rider, not truly understanding the reason D'art is so melancholy at times. Porthos has a soothing mind-voice, not overly deep and with a hint of a purr to it's edges.

Gias'sa

BASICS

NAME: Gias'sa
BIRTHDATE Autumn of 2765
AGE: 10 as of Early Summer 2776


APPEARANCE
COLOR: Gold
FULL APPEARANCE: Dark gold with flame-like markings along her torso and wings.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Sassy and flashy, she used to love sitting directly over the door of the little house that Diartan and Lothan shared like a little gargoyle. The moment Lothan came out of the door, she would swoop down and try to steal the shiny beads threaded into his braids. It got so bad that Diartan put things over the door to keep her from perching... she just moved to a new ambush spot, complaining endlessly about her shiny bits. When the 'incident' happened, she went into deep mourning with Diartan, choosing to remain close to him at all times, usually on shoulder, tail wrapped around his neck during the day, and on his pillow or in the circle of his arm at night. As Diartan slowly recovered, so has she, taking to the air once more, but still remaining in sight of him all the time. Since his move to the Weyr, he has had to keep an eye on her, and return shinies to those she steals them from. Much to her annoyance.
