FULL APPEARANCE:

James is one of those people whose personality is evident in his appearance. He has very curly hair that looks soft to touch, but resists all attempts to tame. When he lets his beard grow out - it will get better in time - he resembles a canine. Regardless of beard possession, his mouth is full and sensitive, very quick to smile or laugh, not so quick to frown.

He has a wiry frame, less built for strength - although he's no weakling - and more built for toughness. He is a speedy fellow, and could have gone on to become a runner. But his dexterous hands and worn callouses tell a different story. James often has a gitar on his person and a fire lizard on his shoulder. No, it's not always his fire lizard. Yes, that's a thing that happens.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

James is a Charmer. He is cocky, arrogant, and rude, but he can also sweet talk his way past the prickliest kitchen auntie. He learns quickly and can adapt to new situations on the fly. But he will do it with his nose in the air and a spring in his step. A false air of confidence is hard to tell from a real sense of confidence, and James exchanges the two like breathing.

For all that he can make friends easily, James is more likely to have acquaintances. His parents paved the way for many people to know his name, but he doesn't have much experience with making friends his own age. So far, the people he's clicked with have been few, and clustered together. He likes being the center of attention, when he has people to share the limelight with.


[size200]HISTORY[/size]
FAMILY: F'mont of green Iolanth and Master Vintner Euphemia, both elderly
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: none
BIRTHPLACE: Igen Weyr
HISTORY:

James was born to a mid-ranking family at Igen Weyr, their pride and joy. He was a late birth, Euphemia being in her early fifties when he was conceived, but a most cherished addition to the family. As such, he was spoiled rotten. Anything he wanted, his parents made sure to get for him. That even included a fire lizard egg at the tender age of eight. It hatched into the tiniest and roundest brown known to Pern. James named him 'Snidget', but over time that evolved into 'Snitch'. Snidget is now only used when he's in big trouble.

His life changed forever the day one Sirius of High Reaches arrived at Igen. They became fast friends, and the group grew in short order. Great adventures were had, until Sirius went back to High Reaches. James and the others followed, and they were all chosen to Stand. None of them Impressed at High Reaches.

Sirius Impressed at Fort's Trailblazer hatching, and while James is quite the fan of white Unicoth, weyrlinghood has not left them much time to remain friends. James went on to stand at the Acta Esta Fabula clutch, and did not attach there. Now, he is helping out at Semaca for a little bit.

UPDATES

• Early Spring 2766 - A mystery egg on the Sands of Semaca meant a chance to Impress. James Stood, and was passed over. He spent the time talking to another High Reaches transfer, and scolding Snitch for misbehaving.
  
  
• Late Spring 2766 - James Stood properly for the Defenders of Solus clutch. Despite a groggy start to the day, he Impressed to blue Kleeth without incident. Which is not to say the rest of the clutch had the same courtesy. It is very quickly established that Kleeth, Markeeth, and Isith cannot be trusted together.
  
  
• Early Summer 2766 - Snitch attempts to cause problems in the dining area by stealing peoples' breakfast sausages.
  
  
• Late Winter 2766 - After learning how to between, James and Kleeth attend a party with weyrlings from High Reaches. Unfortunately, so do Lelou and Isith. The weyrlings very narrowly avoid a fight between their dragons.
  
  
• Late Spring 2767 - James starts thinking about his life after graduation, and starts sending some letters. Snitch thinks his life is completely unfair.
  
  
• Late Summer 2767 - After graduation, James and Kleeth transfer to Fort Weyr, where they are reunited with Sirius. James and Kleeth become members of Daylight Wing.

BASICS
NAME: Kleeth
BIRTHDATE Late Spring 2766
AGE: eighteen months as of Early Summer 2767

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: thirty-two feet
HEIGHT: eight feet
WINGSPAN: forty-eight feet
COLOR: blue
HEX CODE: #65919f
FULL APPEARANCE:

Rail thin. Actually, Kleeth is a very frail blue. He is all sticks and has this perpetual look of being underweight. Kleeth is a poor flier, poor walker, and just not good at any sort of physical activity. He's just... not great. But he more than makes up for it with his intelligence. His body is all narrow angles. He is a pale, powdery blue all over as if he has been aged in sunlight. His markings, lined with deeper navy, trace over his body like he is some machine, in intricate curls with 'rivets' along him. The edges of his wings are lined dark with large banners and circles like a line of lanterns. The lower half of his tail is a lighter blue, and blocked with the darker blue.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Kleeth is a bitter old man, even though he is still young. He always seems just grumpy. Something always hurts, there's always a joint that aches or feels like he is falling apart. And he will complain all day about it to anyone who listens. He is a little over-dramatic. Everything is a catastrophe. He and Isith absolutely hate each other, and Kleeth is more of a bit of a dick to his clutchmate. Kleeth makes up for his fragile body with a brilliant mind. He is incredibly intelligent, able to remember up to eight days on his own. He is capable of planning long in advance, and he finds no better challenge than trying to figure out how the world works. He could be an excellent teacher.

To his rider, Kleeth is still kind of a grumpy old man, but he's their grumpy old man. He'll complain while he's trying to crawl into their lap and be fairly affectionate. He likes to laze around and spend days sunning himself and doing nothing unless there is actual science to do. He is very sarcastic, and likes to run his mouth and then use another dragon as a shield. He finds himself pretty content with his life, but honestly he enjoys complaining.

Voice: The bitterest old man, Kleeth's voice seems to already have that old, grumpy man tone to it.

BASICS
NAME: Snitch
BIRTHDATE Spring 2753
AGE: fifteen as of Summer 2767

APPEARANCE
COLOR: brown
HEX CODE: #CC7722
FULL APPEARANCE: A rounder brown was never hatched. Snitch is a teeny ball of a fire lizard, and only his wings indicate that he was born to fly. His wings are a lighter shade of brown than the rest of him, which has a yellowish tint.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Snitch is curious! He wants to know everything, all the time, every where. Doesn't matter what's going on, Snitch wants to be in the middle of it all. He's so tiny that he's hard to catch, which means that he tends to lead people on a merry chase whenever he is caught somewhere he oughtn't to be.
