"Just Around the Riverbend,
Waiting just around the Riverbend.
I look once more, just around the Riverbed,
Beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea.
Don’t know what for, why do all my dreams extend,
Just around the Riverbend?"

PLAY-BY:
EXPY SOURCE:
FULL APPEARANCE: Sunny has always been quite small, especially when compared to his peers. His build didn’t quite look like he’d blow away in a stiff breeze, but it was close. This boy has always had a hard time developing much muscle mass at all. He is definitely not one suited to much manual labor, definitely leaning more toward the dexterous tasks.

His face holds a round boyish softness to it even into his late adolescence and early adult years. His green eyes shone like the sunlight across the sea on a calm day. His hair was a golden color like the color of freshly plucked grain and lay nearly as straight as straw, though fine and soft to the touch.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Friendly in nature but not necessarily in your face about it. Sunny has a very positive outlook on things and has been accused of being a little ray of sunshine on more than one occasion. Typically he is fairly calm in demeanor, not the most chatty, but if you touch on a topic he loves, even he can get a bit passionate about things. Rarely is a smile far from his face or laughter from his lips.

Coming from a somewhat sheltered life, Sunny feels very strongly that deep down everyone wants the best for others and chooses to see the best in people if possible. He is also very naive and very easy to persuade with this belief. There is not much of a backbone to this young man, he’d much rather stand back and quiet than to put himself out there. Sunny isn't one who holds a lot of stock in his own ideas, opinions, or knowledge. He assumes that basically everyone knows better than he does. He does have a moral compass in there, but it’s not the strongest. Generally he wants to do what is right, but it doesn’t take much spinning before he’ll follow one down the wrong path for good reasons.

Sunny is a fairly dexterous sort, which is great since he doesn’t have much great strength to speak of. He’s very creative which has made him well suited to working with his mother in the weaving craft. He picks up well on small tasks and has a good attention to detail. That said, he also has developed a need to have things just so and it bothers him greatly if things are not as such.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Mother: Sunasa (Journeyman Weaver) Father: Kataeos (Journeyman Tanner) Four Elder brothers and two Elder sisters make up his sibling pack.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Best Friend: Tealah - Green Handler
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY:

Sunnyakatsu was born and raised in Fort Weyr to a pair of Craft folk. Sunasa and Kateos had long lived and worked for the Weyr and had born many children. They were somewhat close together in age but Sunny was the last of them. Growing up in the Weyr, Sunny learned much about the Weyr from much time spent with his very observant mother.

Sunny was very much his mother’s favorite and thus quite sheltered from the negative aspects of this world. His father tried to teach him his craft, but Sunny found he had no aptitude for it... At all. Not to mention the whole ordeal made his stomach turn. But before long he found more of a love for that of his mothers. So it happened that he would learn to be a Weaver, and he felt no real need to leave his home as multiple of his siblings did. He was content to simply work and learn his craft but as time went on and Sunny began to branch out just a little, meeting people his own age.

He met and formed a quick friendship with a Wherhandler named Tealah. She was intriguing and engaging to Sunny. She encouraged him to get out of his rut as it were and to live life. Now Sunny didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with his life, but there might be something different out there for him. It was this thought that found him at a trader's cart purchasing a Wher egg of all things. The trader boasted that this egg was the best this side of Pern... But honestly... Didn't all traders boast their wares so? His mother and father were a little confused with his choice, but they supported him although tentatively. Tealah was ecstatic and haphazardly told him many things that she thought he ought know about the life.

After careful care and warming of the egg, it began to quake and shattered. The bright yellow hide threw him initially. She was beautiful but... Was he to bond to a Gold? The little yellow hided Wher, looking up at him with equal parts curiosity and judgement. But even so, she didn't seem to outright reject him. The blood bond was made, and it was done… He had sat there dumbly for many a moment before a lovely snort and smooth voice met his mind. [color=yellow]Not Gold mousebrain…. Your Sunnyask even better. Not doubt. You, mine, Sunnyask, yours.[\color] Although her words were abrupt, that seemed to seal the deal for Sunny. He would be a Wherhandler.

Time after that got much more chaotic for Sunny. Learning a whole new way of life that he could only have wondered about before. But despite not being the biggest and strongest, he found he was making a good partner for Sunnyask. They completed each other. In their year of initial growth they found that as with many partnerships, places that one was weak, the other had some strength to offer.

CLUTCHING
[Whers/Dragons only]
(please remove for non-clutching dragons!)

HEIGHT: 5 ft
COLOR: Green
HEX CODE:
FULL APPEARANCE:
Sunnyask is of a decent size where Whers are concerned. She’s fairly average in length but in the tall side for her color. It is her color that is the most striking though, A vibrant yellow shades most of her body causing quite the confusion at her hatching. Dark brown strikes and curves adorn the bottom of her body looking much like she always hides in the tall grass. Above are very light specklings adding to her unique look. Her wings are yellow with a dark center and lined etching continuing the odd contrast that is her. She walks with a little bit of a lighter gait, not caring much for large noises.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Sunnyask is most certainly not what her name suggests. She actually has a bit more of a pragmatic, almost grumpy outlook on life. She doesn't care much for people other than her own bonded, of course. She will tolerate the company of a few Whers at a time, but would honestly prefer to be left to her devices. She can be a bit judgemental in her outlook on others, seeing their flaws first. But to her credit she does like to help even if she won't say so out loud. Then again it's usually done in off handed comments that can be a little inconsiderate.

She makes a good grounding companion for her new Bonded and he is likely one of the very few that get to see her more gentle side. She does have a longing to help and feels a very fierce protectiveness over him. She's a hard worker, her aim to see improvement in whatever she interacts with. Over the past couple turns with her Bonded, she has relaxed just a little and is coming to see that the glass really is not always half empty, but really... She'll leave the optimism to Sunny.

[Arcane]

-Sunny's occupation should be wherhandler since his primary profession would now be working with the ground crew.

-Sunny's height needs a number.

-Sunny could use a stronger flaw. Not having a backbone is a good one but it needs a bit more elaboration. ex. Does he just go along with things because it's easiest, without considering whether it is a good idea?

-We do not allow candidates to have been educated in two crafts. While Sunny might know a bit about tanning from his father he cannot have received any formal training and should not be proficient in the craft, at even an apprentice level.

-Sunny cannot have hatched at a formal wher clutch, as Fort Weyr is an on-screen location. He should either have purchased a wher egg or transferred from a different weyr. Only formal wher candidates are allowed to be participate in wher clutches. They've received education and training leading up to the event and it's not something that can be done on a whim. A wher candidate would know what they are getting into before Impressing.

-Gold whers bond men historically as often as anyone else. Whers have never cared about their handler's gender.

-Characters must be at least 17 to Impress a wher. Sunny can't be 19 with a 4 year old wher.
