A'RYTI



BASICS
RETIRE INFO: Retire, adopt dragon
NAME: A'ryti, born Ajarytine
GENDER: Nonbinary
PRONOUNS: They/them/their
ORIENTATION: Demi-everything

BIRTHDATE: Winter 2735
AGE: 31 as of Late Summer 2767
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Wingrider
WING: Healer's

APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Brown, short
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6', athletic
PLAY-BY: Lauren Cohan
FULL APPEARANCE:
Their brown hair is kept cropped at shoulder length or just shy of at all times, anything longer being deemed 'annoying.' It's wavy and impressively similar in color to their brown eyes, which are frequently lined with thick kohl eyeliner. (Don't tell them that makeup doesn't look professional.) Having slightly crooked teeth doesn't stop them from often smiling enough to show them.

A'ryti loves their dangly jewelry, and so whenever not on duty is wearing a bangled bracelet or fifty, as well as often an anklet or two. Their form is slender and rectangular, though with a prominent curve of the chest that hints at an underlying femininity that the rest of A'ryti's usual more masculine style of dress attempts to obscure.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
As a Healer, they are calm and collected with a patient; kind but quiet and focused and centered on the job. The same with any other task that could truly be called a job, such as Threadfighting or classes in their youth.

In any other context, A'ryti is the opposite of that; extroverted and easily distractible would be putting it mildly. They are chattery, gregarious and essentially lacking in that same focus that guides them so well when attempting an important task. While not flirty per se, they are flighty and affectionate both physically and in words. One might also describe A'ryti as cuddly, though they never seem to show much interest in anything sexual, they're fond of perpetually being attached to another person. While very intelligent, this intelligence is something that generally only shows during Healing activities -- otherwise A'ryti is more playful than appearing to be as smart as they genuinely are.

The perpetual good nature also serves as a shield; A'ryti seems to just roll any trauma right off their back, allowing it a few moments to process and then move on to the next thing. While this also makes for a good healer-rider amidst Threadfall, it can have its drawbacks -- without ever truly processing anything that can cause emotional upheaval, A'ryti has both few deep human connections and a tendency toward nightmares.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Two parents and a sister
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None
BIRTHPLACE: Vinehold near Fort Hold
HISTORY:
Ajarytine was presumably born a daughter, based on their build, but no one could ever recall any point in which they were specifically known to be one. Their parents weren't overly fussy about such things, being vintners largely focused on their vineyard, and they had a second child after Ajarytine who was clearly a daughter easy to spoil (and eager to be spoiled). Aja, as they called them then, also spoiled their little sister given the chance. Which meant there was a child at the vinehold who grew up expecting to be a perfect little lady, and in no way was it Ajarytine.

They ended up not having much of an aptitude for grapes or wines, despite having an aptitude for eating them — a good reason to be encouraged to go study under another craft or work at a hold when reaching adulthood, seeing as how they were influencing production by getting in the way and pulling things off the vines. Helping with an injury to one of the workers that occurred in front of them when Ajarytine was recently thirteen was what inspired their interest to learn some healing, and so a few months later they were accepted to Healer to study.

It was wounds and traumatic injury they ended up specializing in, and an unremarkable training resulted in a Journeyman's knot at twenty. At twenty-one, they were posted to Fort Weyr, and shortly after entered a romantic relationship with a dragonrider who ended up persuading them to Stand. It had seemed to be an offer designed to get Ajarytine to stay at the Weyr, as they had been discussing a return to the Hall, but the surprise was in Impression: the last of the dragons to Hatch, a taupe-pale banded brown, picked now-A'ryti as his own.

After weyrlinghood, they were tapped properly to the Healer's wing where the pair has been ever since.

MALTIROTH



BASICS
NAME: Maltiroth
BIRTHDATE Season 2753
AGE: 10 as of Late Summer 2767

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 42 ft
HEIGHT: 12.1 ft
WINGSPAN: 70 ft
COLOR: Brown
HEX CODE: #AC3700
FULL APPEARANCE: For a brown dragon, Maltiroth certainly did forget to be simply brown. His most prominent color is, instead, a sort of taupe-tinted alabaster, covering seven out of eight limbs (counting the tail, not counting the neck), the better part of his trunk, and even part of his wingsails (closest to his tail). Next greatest in coverage, though not in perception, is a true-brown of the same hue, however many hundreds of shades darker; in effect, he looks sun-dappled, lounging in the spotty shade of a broad-leaf tree.

But it's the banding around his neck and the end of his tail that really catch the eye: a coppery-bright series circles his throat like alternating-width necklaces, while at his tail they tint darker, more of an auburn. The slight yellowing on the outer third of his 'sails, then – while reminiscent of the sky during tornado weather – is practically an afterthought to any human trying to tell another which brown dragon they're talking about.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Maltiroth may not always know quite why he thinks or feels the way he does, or why he does the things he ends up doing, and yet things usually seem to work out okay as a result – because he's more intuitive than the average dragon, as is perhaps most evident when his intuition stands in for understanding human thought processes. He's also a very forgiving dragon, which pairs well with being intuitive – especially when finding himself in the position of forgiving others for assuming he would act in a logical fashion based only on the knowledge he had, as opposed to acting based on intuition. (Or, perhaps, loftily forgiving others for not sharing in his hunches, although that's definitely less common now than it was when he was a weyrling.)

Truly, though, he is quite understanding, when it comes to other dragons; he's a good listener, and manages to pair optimism with realism (while leaving pessimism for someone else to deal with), offering up a sense of hope along with whatever draconic advice he might have to impart to his kith and kin, without barreling past helpful (or reality-based) on his way to Pure Optimistic Hope.

DIGITORI


BASICS
NAME: Digitori
BIRTHDATE Late Fall 2767
AGE: < 1 as of Early Spring 2768

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Gold
FULL APPEARANCE: Digitori is a dainty little queen with patchwork hide: it's hard to tell which is her base color and which is a layering on top between the deeper butterscotch and the paler honeycomb shade. She has talons on the long side, slightly wide-set eyes and a prominent wingspan.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: For a firelizard, Digitori is fairly intelligent, though she's easily influenced by larger animals around her -- nominally, whers and dragons, though there have been times she's thought that hunting canines or housecats (who aren't really larger) have had the right idea an she's mimicked them instead. The most important part for being A'ryti's firelizard is that she's trainable, and able to hang on to things for the healer while they work, hence the name.

Most of the time she is good-natured, only tending to be foul-tempered when she's either very tired or proddy ... and it is important that she gets a series of naps every day to prevent her snittier behavior. So long as she gets sixteen to eighteen hours of sleep every day, though, she's a sweetheart. Except to gold and bronze whers, who she will fly away from because for some reason, they are terrifying.
