Vartin of Amethyst Vartisk and Garnet Varsk

"Sink or swim
Lose or win
Hold on with my naked arms
All those dreams,
All of my hope,
All life come undone
In a world beaten and broken
I can see a rising sun"


BASICS

NAME: Vartin
AGE: 32
ORIENTATION: Aromantic homosexual
BIRTH SEASON AND TURN: Early Winter 2737 (32 as of Early Winter 2770)
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
WING: Dawn Squad
OCCUPATION: Wherhandler, Squad Second, Horrible Ghost Haunting The Barracks

APPEARANCE
EYES: Olive
HAIR: White
WEIGHT: 116lbs
HEIGHT: 6'3"
PLAY-BY: Ishida Mitsunari (Sengoku Basara)
FULL APPEARANCE:
Vartin is tall. Maybe not overtly so compared to the average, but he is tall and very, very thin. Rather gangly, even. He is all limbs with a thin torso, and he looks like his legs go on forever. His hair, and skin, are white. He keeps his hair short, and it comes to a point in his face, sort of styled out of habit. Being albino, he is very sensitive to sunlight, and he burns very easily. When he goes out into the daylight, he is covered from head to toe, usually in black, purple, white, or gray fabrics. He prefers a mix of the colors, having an eye for color schemes. If he must go out in the daylight hours, he wears heavily tinted flight goggles, the sunlight being quite damaging to his eyes. There are often dark circles under his eyes from being unable to sleep at night. He is very quick on his feet, and it is hard to catch him once he has started running. It is often said that one has a better chance of running down a wher than they do catching Vartin at a full run.

PERSONALITYPERSONALITY:
Vartin is not a people person. He hates to be around most people, and hates more to be poked and picked at for his albinism. He usually reacts violently when someone tries to joke around with him, and he has no tolerance for games. He sees such humor as useless and annoying. That being said, he tries to ignore most people, preferring to do whatever he wants. If he is left alone, he is perfectly capable of handling complicated tasks, and he makes a near-perfect scout. He makes almost no sound when he walks, and tends to sneak up on people. He is quite intelligent as well, having a fondness of holing up somewhere high where he can just read for a while.

Rather intelligent, Vartin prefers to wait in a crowd to voice his opinion. He comes out of nowhere and it is often hard to find him if he doesn't want to be found. He is very good at hiding, able to twist and tuck his long limbs up small to disappear among stones and bushes. Unfortunately, Vartin doesn't see much potential in helping the Weyr, as he holds no allegiance to either of the Weyrwomen. He is merely waiting for his time, and if the weyr can prove worthy, then he will stay. He would rather not be fighting, but he is quite a terror when he must.

It is not unusual for Vartin to go days without sleeping, only to fall asleep leaning against a wall or in a corner somewhere. Fortunately, most weyrfolk and riders are kind enough to get him back to his room and into bed.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Hantanbe (scribe, adoptive father and mentor), Toyoshi of Bronze Toyosk and Brown Toysk (wherhandler, adoptive father and mentor)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: (optional)
BIRTHPLACE: A small cothold not far from Fort Hold
HISTORY:
[color=#red]TW: mentions of abuse[/size][/color]
Born an albino in a small, rather superstitious cothold, Vartin was frequently reminded that he was a blight on them, a cursed being that would bring misfortune upon them. And unfortunately, he had learned to believe it. So many turns being called a curse and a monster had taken root in his mind, and he spent much time isolated, which only served to help when the hold was routinely raided by dragonriders.

When the final raid before peace decimated the hold, Vartin took it upon himself to just run. No one could stop him, and no one could catch him. He traveled, wandering useless across Pern. Along the way, he found himself a little firelizard - one that seemed to be as weird as he was. He eventually made it to Fort Hold, and while he was greeted with a heap of fear and suspicion, he was taken in by one of the Fort Weyr scribes, Hantanbe. The other man, happening to be an albino himself, took Vartin under his wing, allowing him to live with himself and his partner, a gargantuan man with two large, brutish whers.

Hantanbe and Toyoshi became the closest family that Vartin ever had, with the scribe teaching him how to read and write, along with teaching him strategy and tactics, along with how to coordinate tithes and the best arrangements for fighting wings, should he ever be leading dragonriders. Toyoshi taught the young man how to defend himself, and how to use his thin form and long legs to his advantage, turning the abandoned and abused albino into a fine little soldier.

Once Vartin reached the fine age of twenty-three, Hantanbe decided it was time to move from the Hold to the Weyr for a change of pace, and he took their little family to Fort Weyr after the disaster that was the Conclave. Vartin was encouraged to become a candidate, and the albino - utterly devoted to his family - did as he was told.

When he aged out, Vartin fell into a complete depression. Did not want to eat, slept often outside of doing chores, cut himself off from much of the people he used to speak to. Even his family stopped speaking to him more than was necessary. Consumed, Vartin has no idea what he will do now, or where his life will lead him.

Otani
Image

BASICS

NAME: Otani
AGE: 14
BIRTH SEASON AND TURN: Early Fall 2757, 14 as of Late Winter 2770

APPEARANCECOLOR: Bone
FULL APPEARANCE:
Otani is a lean little flit, almost noodly. He is dark, practically black. More than eerily, he is marked with bright white lines and blocks, like his skeleton is outlined on his skin. He doesn't glow, but it is a little unnerving. He is speedy and lean, and about the size of a blue flitter.
PERSONALITYPERSONALITY:
This little flit is a scheming jerk. The only person he cares about is Vartin, frequently siding with Hantanbe to encourage his human to do what he wants. He is highly manipulative, and perhaps a little poisonous to Vartin, but he's really the only friend that the twiggy albino has. And unfortunately, almost everyone knows it.

Vartisk
Image

BASICS

NAME: Vartisk
BIRTHDATE AND AGE: Early Spring 2764, 6 turns as of Early Spring 2770

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: No
RUNS: 1

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 13ft
HEIGHT: 5ft
COLOR: Amethyst
HEX CODE: #a3a9b2 - #310b60
FULL APPEARANCE:
Vartisk is a big, stocky wher. If it weren't for her color, she would be just about an average wher. She's strong, with big pillar legs and a barrel frame. She's got a sharp face and a face that looks permanently grumpy despite her fairly cheerful demeanor. She is a pale, blue-gray all over, like moonlight over the grasslands. Across her face, chest, and sides, runs a vein of deep violet-purple. It's bold and bright, like she is a wealth of precious minerals. Vartisk is not particularly fast, but she is strong.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Vartisk has one rule: Talk shit, get hit. That is more or less her mantra, though she does not have a hair trigger. And her criteria for what "talking shit" encompasses is fairly narrow. That said, she is a wher who really enjoys being as big and angry-looking as possible, puffing out her chest and putting on a show. She's more bark than bite, but when she bites, well... Vartin loves her. Because she is perfect in every way. Vartisk is a very caring creature, looking out for the people who fit into her extremely narrow selection of family. Vartin is family, that's about it. Everyone else may get a little love, but not as much as her bonded.

This wher takes it upon herself to make sure that Vartin takes care of himself. She knows he is very bad at looking out for his personal care, so that is what she is for. She'll be the one reminding him to eat, herding him to bed, and generally being a parent, since his actual parents suck. Vartisk is a badass and she will show it with no hesitation. After all, she's the best wher out there. And hopefully that won't go to her head.

Varsk
Image

BASICS

NAME: Varsk
BIRTHDATE Late Spring 2766
AGE: 4 as of Late Spring 2770

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: No
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 1

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 13ft
HEIGHT: 5.5ft
COLOR: Garnet/White Chimera (considered Garnet)
HEX CODE: #30064D/#F3F3F3
FULL APPEARANCE:
Almost an exact inversion of Vartisk, Varsk is the same sort of large, muscular wher. She has a strong frame with a more strong and brick-like look to her. Her face isn't as narrow, with almost a square look to it. She doesn't have to be the fastest wher, but she looks great. She is a dark, deep violet-purple all over. A bright white cracks over her face and chest like a fissure opening in the earth.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Whereas Vartisk is more bark than bite, Varsk is more bite than bark. She isn't super chatty, but she doesn't mind talking. She does bite, and bite hard, and it doesn't take too much to set her off. She has very low standards of what does set her off, but there's a family around her and she needs to take care of them. Even if Vartin is a bit of a reckless idiot sometimes, she does like her little pack and there is not much that will stop her from harming anyone who decides to mess with them. She is very firm in her principles, strong and steadfast.

She likes to swim, not that she's very good at it but she likes to just romp around in the shallows. Water is good to her. She is an excellent tracker, and finding more wher nests in the future will be simple for her. Varsk is a hard working creature, and she and Vartisk will be great assets when they begin working in tandem. Guard or scout, the two of them will be nearly unstoppable.
