O'rish of bronze Hassath [RFR]

O'RISH
Image

BASICS

NAME: O'rish
GENDER: male
PRONOUNS: he/him/his
ORIENTATION: tired

BIRTHDATE: Winter, 2717
AGE: 54, as of 2771
LOCATION: Fort
OCCUPATION: Dragonrider, Searchrider
WING: Eclipse

APPEARANCE
EYES: Muted blue
HAIR: Gone grey, worn long
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6'1", rangy muscle
PLAY-BY: Lemghon Luga (Zill O'll)
FULL APPEARANCE: His eyes are a flat blue, like stone covered in a fine layer of dust. Time has creased the skin at the corners, but his gaze is still direct, at times hard and flinty. Vision unclouded, pride allowing him to be nothing but meet the eyes of friend and enemy alike. While there is some wrinkling at the forehead, a dimple between the eyes, O'rish's cheeks are still smooth, except for the furrows around his mouther. Deep chasms when he smiles or frowns, perpetuated by both in equal measure. His mouth is a sardonic slash, lips thin, and beginning to pucker with age. O'rish's nose is long, and sharp. A defining characteristic set off by winged eyebrows, still black despite the fact that his hair began to grey in his late thirties. Still as long and full as it was in his youth, O'rish's hair is no longer lustrous, or black. Silver from root to tip, it is coarse to the touch, like brittle grass.

O'rish still stands tall. His carriage has always been upright, shoulders square, chest a proud puff. His muscle is more ropey than defined. Skin beginning to lose its elasticity and tautness. It is the worst on his hands. Wrinkled and becoming thin, he hides the skin with gloves, often even in the heat of summer. His is a proud bearing, unhindered by his limp. Clothing usually simple and suited for riding. His gathering clothing is much more elaborate. Panels of embroidered cloth, and wide sashes.

Nearly as threadscored as his dragon, O'rish walks with a pronounced limp. In his forties, he was caught in the right thigh by a massive clump of thread that was able to eat a deep channel into the muscle before Hassath took them between. There is an obvious depression in the thigh, mostly hidden by clothing. O'rish refuses to use a cane, and still manages to move around freely, it just requires some extra effort, and he'll never be as quick on his feet as he once was.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: O'rish has a strange outlook on the world. Most would find him strict, and task orientated. Old fashioned, many would call him. O'rish believes in the order of things, and is not quick to adopt change, though he tries to adapt to it. Golds rule. And a bronze hide carries more weight than others. But he is more accepting of mutations and these newer colors. It would be highly hypocritical of him to not be. His own dragon, bronze though he is, is not wholly typical of dragonkind.

Not as black and white as one might assume a tradionalist to be. Or as one might suspect O'rish himself to be. He reads as a man of absolutes, viewing the world in black and white. But O'rish sees the shades of grey, and sometimes dwells in them. He will meet your eye, and lie through his teeth. And he is capable, given the right incentives, of turning on friends to further what he believes is Right.

Particular in the way he does things, there is a very apparent order to O'rish's weyr. The way he arranges his plate. The predictable way he walks the weyrbowl. He is a man of habits. He is also a man of emotions. Emotions that often run too hot. He tries to make sure he is using his rational mind at all times, but there are instances when his emotions get the better of him. Most often his anger and outrage. The steady, hard working glaze cracking.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
The Childrens:
O'ri of XX
Lavender
Tenna of XX
Sh'on of XX
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: -
BIRTHPLACE: Telgar Weyr
HISTORY:
Born Onaarish, he was weyrbrat through and through. Both his parents were riders, so he grew up in the creche. His family was the Weyr. His parents whoever took charge of correcting his behavior or teaching him new skills. His actually father taught him the guitar, and him mother how to braid his hair, which he wore long to honor her, and the soft shoulder she offered him as comfort. The stories she told him, and the love he felt on the rare occasions she was able to visit.

Just a boy when the crop blight happened. O'rish only has vague memories of it. The growing tension, the change in meal plans. A sense of unsettledness, but he did not know then the cause. Just a growing sense of worry as he reacted to the scramble of the adults around him. Busy with the usual lessons. Eyes on candidacy. He only had a few more Turns before he was of age.

The War was more obvious. People spoke about it more openly. Blight and the death of animals was harder to control, to manage, so it was whispered. War, war was a machine that could be controlled and altered. Heated discussions broke out all across the Weyr. News shouted across the Weyrbowl. O'rish learned swordplay from an uncle. "Just in case," the man said, a scar bisecting his face.

Still mostly a boy, just a Turn into candidacy, before he Impressed. It was an event, beyond events. Hassath did not break his shell with snout or claw, but with sharp nubs sprouting just between and before his headknobs. It was unconventional, to say the least. But Hassath's hide was bronze, and he was O'rish's. He shook shell from what would grow to be a set of almost-antlers, and strode across the sands at a soldier's clip to Impress to O'rish. Be not afraid. He commanded, and so O'rish was not. He met scorn and ridicule with stony silence, or stonier fists.

Hassath's horns were easier to forgive as the war continued, spreading until nearly every Weyr found itself caught up in the mayhem one way or another. Ripples that extended across the whole continent. And more 'unconventional' dragons were born. Mutations they called them. In Igen and Ista. At least Hassath was a bronze. A growing bronze who showed no other deviation than the horns, which grew and grew like the rest of him.

O'rish was in his twenties when he discovered a firelizard clutch in the sands of the sea. Buried close to the tide line, he gathered as many as he could, sharing them out among other riders in his wing, and keeping one for himself. He fed the angry, hissing, screaming green that hatched from it until she forgave him for his exist, and decided it was hers to take charge of. Often clinging to one of Hassath's antlers to scream orders. Hidding other peoples things in his weyr to get him in trouble when he upset her.

A few Turns later, a mutation was hatched at Telgar. O'rish stroked the length of one horn and nodded. Maybe now their own strangeness could be totally forgotten.

At thirty-eight, O'rish had two children, raised much the same way as he was, of the Weyr. And Thread began to fall once again. All the drills he had practiced turning to practicality. An armistice was declared. And the world settled into a new rhythm. Rise. Flame. Survive. But not for long enough. Prejudice and pride turned the world to villainy once again. This time it was bred and perpetuated within the Weyrs. Spreading like the blight of his youth until they were all embroiled in it. Even Telgar. His Weyr sided with Fort. Thankfully his and Hassath's taste of dragon battle was brief. But even that was too much and sickened his stomach. The world had lurched into a new orbit for O'rish when he'd found ichor stains on Hassath's horn.

Dragonmen were meant to fight Thread, not each other. After, what peace was achieved seemed untenable. There was too much fluctuation. Too much whispering. Too many despicable acts. O'rish tried to be an example. To spend more time being seen. Being reasonable. He took to spending more time with his children, even though for some it was too late to adopt a father figure. He spoke out often against rash decisions, or heated choices. And expected to be listened to, since he rode a bronze.

In his fifties, O'rish unexpectedly found himself raising yet another firelizard. A gift, this time, from a wingmate, much as he had handed out eggs in his youth. This one a brown he named Ember. A sweeter creature than Calamity, who took great joy in harassing the fresh addition to their family.

Now O'rish has set his sights on Fort. There has been talk, and even a call to - not quite arms - but to something. He thinks he may be able to provide the balance the Weyr so obviously lacks.

HASSATH
Image


BASICS

NAME: Hassath
BIRTHDATE Season 2733
AGE: 38 as of 2771

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 51 ft
HEIGHT: 13.25 ft
WINGSPAN: 83.75 ft
COLOR: Bronze
HEX CODE: #656c46
FULL APPEARANCE: Hassath is bronze. There could be no mistaking his hide, or the sheen to it. He is subtle variation, but all of it of a similar hue. Tarnished, in areas, now that he's aging. Fading to a near white at his muzzle, and down his ridges. There is freckling down his neck, like star fall or char burns. Dappling down toward his shoulders, which are still powerful. A pattern similarly repeated on his feet and up the length of his tale. They've grown more noticeable as he's aged, becoming more pale against the glow of his hide.

Most notable, are his horns. Two, upward curving projections that split near the top, each bearing two rounded points.

He is a powerful bronze. Made for steady flight. For endurance. Not quick or particularly agile. He is a strong flyer who can last a threadfall, maybe two if it was asked of him. He is sure he could fight thread from dawn to dusk, and into the night if it dared to continue to fall. Like his rider, Hassath's bearing is one of confidence. He is not ashamed of the threadscore on his hide, though he regret the large patch of scared skin just past where O'rish's right thigh ride's his hide. That was a poor pass of flame and a too slow reaction. But he is a fighting dragon. He will always be a fighting dragon.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Hassath is patience and wry amusement. Stalwart. Confident in the abilities he has honed over years. There was a time when thread didn't fall. He can remember, through O'rish, when they did not fly to fight thread, but to pretend, or for the joy of it. He likes this now better. The purpose of it. The heat he feels in his blood, that rises until he is flaming in the sky. The crack of firestone in his jaws.

Dragons were meant to fight thread. Hassath feels most whole then, but does not feel lacking at other times. Threadfall is the pinnacle, certainly. The purpose, surely. But he finds fulfillment in other things. Time spent with O'rish. Listening to the twang of a guitar. The chatter of firelizard. That tickling sensation when he meets someone who needs to return to the Weyr with them. The softer fight-heat of a dragon rising.

He would go to war, if needed. But Hassath believes dragons should bend their wills to other things. Their minds should be on thread. Not on poltics. He will leave those to the people, but think they should bend their mind to thread too. Or having children, to populate the Weyr for dragons.

EMBER
Image


BASICS

NAME: Ember
BIRTHDATE Summer 2769
AGE: 2 as of 2771

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Brown
FULL APPEARANCE: Ember is a nicely proportioned brown. A little lean, but muscular. His coloring reminds O'rish of a settled fire. Mostly logs, and, Embers. Warm at the center, and then darkening with char at the edges.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Ember is very much the baby of the family. He is personable and pleasant. Eager to please and terribly spoiled. But also the most often chided. Everyone already knows everything! So he is often offending with antics. But he is as quick to forgive as he is forgiven.

CALAMITY
Image


BASICS

NAME: Calamity / Old Mother / Little Sister
BIRTHDATE Spring 2741
AGE: 30 as 2771

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Green
FULL APPEARANCE: Calamity is a sleek, cunning green. The edges of her wingsails are a deep, deep green, like lush forests. Her front feet as well, with orbs of a similar color surrounded by a softer green. More prominent now as the rest of her fades in old age, making hers a body of stark contrast.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: O'ish originally called her Calamity, because she was a nuisance. Into everything, raiding other peoples weyrs, or invading wher burrows. She was loud and ungracious. Hassath called her Little Sister, a small companion in his rider's arms, always hungry and wailing and bringing them trouble. She is older now, sure she knows best. Often scolding the other three, Ember especially. She is their Old Mother, constantly taking charge and acting the dictator.

-Fort doesn't currently have any open bronzerider slots. You should be able to swap weyrs pretty easily though as he is already meant to be a new arrival!

-Your PB choice doesn't look anywhere near his 50s. While there is some flexibility with PB age, we ask that members keep it within the range of plausibility. It's okay to just not use a PB and stick with a written description.

-His outlook on the world doesn't seem particularly strange. Adhering to the color hierarchy, while being somewhat accepting of garnets and mutations, isn't that odd a stance. I can think of multiple PCs who feel similar. If he does have some more unusual beliefs, please elaborate on them.

-Traditionalists aren't widely thought of as all that black and white. Traditionalism covers a wide spectrum of viewpoints, ranging from people like Barlow to people who just believe in a traditional weyr structure with a goldriding weyrwoman ruling with a weyr leader. Plenty of them have nuanced beliefs.

-Telgar is and always has been a pretty accepting weyr. Dragons with minor or major mutations have also never really been faced with wide-scale opposition and have always existed in small numbers. Unlike uniques or garnets, everyone knows where they fit. Hassath is a bronze. His horns wouldn't have made them the target for any sort of sustained suspicion or bullying. It's a "Huh, that's odd" kind of thing, not the sort of thing that would pull O'rish into a lot of fights (Especially at a weyr like Telgar. At somewhere like Golre's HR or Benden, it could be a different story but as a bronze, he'd probably be okay even there).

-You had no way of knowing this, but staff has decided to remove the inactive uniques from the timeline. We're going to leave the exact timing of when uniques first hatched at weyrs other than Igen and Ista, to allow people to bring in unique riders with a broader range of ages. Please remove the mention of the first Telgar unique because it establishes a stricter timeline than we're going to have in the future.

-When High Reaches declared war on Fort, only Fortian riders were involved in the fighting. O'rish wouldn't have been directly involved. But he would likely have been involved in dragon-on-dragon violence before, during the war. He is old enough he would definitely have fought in it.
