Honor those the dragons heed,
In Thought and Favor, Word and Deed
Worlds are Lost and worlds are Saved
From those dangers dragon braved


BASICS

NAME: Acxa
GENDER: female
PRONOUNS: she/her/hers
ORIENTATION: Theoretically pansexual, but not entirely inclined to prove the theory one way or another. Prevailing gossip is asexual.

BIRTHDATE: Late Winter 2745
AGE: thirty-one as of Spring 2776
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: greenrider
WING: Daylight

APPEARANCE
EYES: Black
HAIR: Black, kept too short to show its natural curl
HEIGHT AND BUILD: five feet and eight inches, built like a brick house
PLAY-BY: Nicole Beharie
FULL APPEARANCE: Acxa was born with a long face and dark eyes, which causes her default expression to appear serious. It's not a default she's inclined to change, and honestly? It kind of suits her. She wears her hair cropped too short to really do anything with besides push it behind her ears. Where some girls might wear fripperies and foibles, Acxa is as plain as they come. Her clothing choices are sensible and sober, tending towards dark colors and a close fit. The strategic leather reinforcements are not seamless - she put them in herself, and they look it. She's a fighter, not a tailor.

When it comes to moving, Acxa never seems to stay in one place. She'll be motionless for a while, almost melting into the background before changing position. When sparring or fighting, she throws everything she's got into the fight. She can spar with words, but prefers her fists, which are better suited to the throwing of punches.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Acxa is quiet. She's observant, and acts mostly for herself in the absence of an honor bond. When she gives her loyalty to someone, she's a perfectly obedient vassal. The trouble comes when she requires parity in that loyalty - that is, she needs a bond that goes both ways. There are only so many bad orders Acxa can stomach, and she will one hundred percent put a mission, a task, above her own personal needs. It makes her an excellent scout and an effective guard, but hinders her interpersonal development. When left to her own devices, she's awkward. Most of her friend-making occurs because someone else made the first effort.

When she is in her element, Acxa's motivation is to maintain the status quo. She doesn't strive for better, or different. If her needs are met, things are okay.

Her time as a rider, particularly as Kaniyath's rider, has gone great lengths to help her settle. The routine, the camaraderie of her wing, the frequent life-threatening situations they undergo, give her the clearly defined edges that she has always craved. Her weyrling class has scattered across the globe, but her wing has become a source of routine and comfort for her.

Acxa also runs into trouble because she needs to belong somewhere. She needs clearly defined edges to the space she inhabits, with expectations and a firm hierarchy, and a partner she can count on. She does not like wild cards because they wreck her neatly ordered routine.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Estranged. Acxa believes in found family these days.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: vaguely open for one?
BIRTHPLACE: Telgar Hold
HISTORY:

Acxa was born one of several children, in a family that frequently fostered children in and out. Her father was a wherhandler while her mother was a Holder, and they were decent parents. No, really, even Acxa would say that she didn't leave home because of her parents. The problem came from her desire to start a career. Her mother's half-sister offered to foster her to get her better access to a Master Miner who (she promised) was willing and excited to take on an apprentice, and Acxa liked the idea of mining. It would be hard work, but she'd never been afraid of work, and the regular routine appealed to her. The trouble came two-fold, from her foster parents, who were less stable than Acxa needed, and from the Master Miner himself, who it turned out did not like Acxa's aunt. In the wake of her rejection, and in the absence of the firm routine she had been looking forward too, Acxa applied for work as a guard a Turn later.

She did well enough as a guard, honing her body into a weapon. She made friends, formed alliances, and even Impressed a fire lizard - blue Trispzest (Zest for short). But she wanted something more. By twenty, she had come to crave a partner, someone to have her back as she had theirs. She applied to try for a wher at twenty-one.

Fate was against her, though, as she attended hatching after hatching without attaching a partner. Buying an egg would have been simpler, but it felt like cheating to Acxa. There was something disingenuous about trapping a hatchling into a bond by being the only one present, or so Acxa felt. She eventually made her way to Telgar Weyr, where she was officially Searched about a month after arrival. Acxa agreed to also Stand for dragon clutches, if there was one happening. Unfortunately for her, there weren't any eggs on the Sands just then. So she stood for another wher clutch, and was passed over once again.

That would probably have continued if gold Nornth hadn't caused such a ruckus over at Fort Weyr. The weyr threw candidacy open to essentially anyone who wanted to have a go at the eggs of a dragon proven violent enough to kill, and Acxa was a candidate already. She transferred to have a go at her first dragon clutch, and was passed over. Dragon candidacy seemed to suit her a little bit better than whers, though, and Acxa stayed at Fort even after the loss of their junior gold.

UPDATES
  • Early Summer 2768 - Serapheth's Inescapable Rain clutch reveals ten beautiful dragonets, from the chimera bronze to the two whites. Acxa Impresses to green Kaniyath near the end of the Hatching.
  • Early Fall 2768 - While most of her clutchmates exasperate both Acxa and Kaniyath, Acxa befriends one of them - Keith of blue Shinadoth. They gain the nickname 'Knife Twins'.
  • Early Winter 2769 - Upon graduating, Keith transfers back to High Reaches Weyr. Acxa is invited to join him, but she becomes a member of Daylight Wing instead. She never has the opportunity to fly under former wingleader Leena, but she finds Z'osh somewhat... lacking.
  • Early Winter 2770 - You know what, something good might as well happen along the line. Acxa lays her hands on a fire lizard egg, which hatches into the palest gold she's ever seen. She names her new queen Mirana.

Oh no, they're all fighting already. This will never do, Acxa help.

BASICS

NAME: Kaniyath
BIRTHDATE Early Fall 2768 (Devils)
AGE: eight as of Spring 2776

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: No
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 2

APPEARANCE
Image

LENGTH: twenty-six feet (26 ft)
HEIGHT: six feet six inches (6.5 ft)
WINGSPAN: thirty-nine feet (39 ft)
COLOR: green
HEX CODE: #334639
FULL APPEARANCE: Soft and on the smaller end, Kaniyath looks like she is the perfect little green. Speedy and soft, she is a really beautiful dragon. She is a light, pale green all over. Her markings, lined in a darker mint color and filled in with a deep evergreen, make her look like some gorgeous butterfly. Her wingsails show it the most, with great, butterfly-winged patterns over the backs of them. She looks like she was very finely painted, a glorious and beautiful dragon.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: At first glance, Kaniyath is a sweet, shy green. She is kind, and very family-oriented. She cares very much for her clutchmates, and is the only one who is able to keep Fukoshith in line. One would think she is just that way, the quiet peacemaker without any voice to raise. But that would be quite wrong. Kaniyath can be quite scathing, without any need to hold back when someone needs to be said. She is not mean, but she is definitely not weak.

To her bonded, Kaniyath is a good, supportive friend. She likes to sit out in the sun, and finds that she is happiest when she can keep an eye on her siblings. She doesn't really like to get dirty, but she knows the work comes first. She doesn't like insects, not afraid of them but disgusted by them. There is nothing she wants more than to be a good partner, and maybe to tell Fukoshith to calm the forsk down. She is the type to bear her burdens internally, and she doesn't really like to ask for help.

VOICE: Soft spoken and quiet, Kaniyath's voice could just be the sound of a nice spring day and no one would know any different.

HATCHING

Clutch: The Inescapable Rain Clutch (Devils)
Dam: Gold Serapheth (Tuckal)
Sire: Brown Wireth (Negan)
Hatching Number: seven of ten
Details: Kaniyath knew immediately where to find her bonded, and headed for the girls. She flared her wings once before nosing at Acxa.
Why: B E C O M E . C O N F I D E N T .

Blue Fiction
To bear the world on your own is foolish. You have enough to worry about.

T R I S P Z E S T

BASICS

NAME: Trispzest
BIRTHDATE Winter 2764
AGE: twelve as of Spring 2776

APPEARANCE
SIZE: largish
COLOR: blue
HEX CODE: #00BFFF
FULL APPEARANCE: Do you love the color of the sky? Which one? Trispzest looks like a slice of sky from a perfect summer day made flesh. He is an even shade all over, darkening just a little bit over his face and forelegs. Most of his proportions are average with the exception of his wings, which are long and swift. He trends a little heavier than perhaps he should, because he is very good at begging extra treats from Acxa.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Trispzest is an acrobat and he knows it. He doesn't like to land anywhere near the ground, and he will sulk if he has to spend any length of time touching dirt. He's not so much a diva as he knows where he belongs, and where he belongs is the sky. Zest likes to show off when it comes to things he's good at. Acxa enjoys watching him pull aerobatic tricks and gives him extra treats when he's found something new to master.

BASICS

NAME: Mirana
BIRTHDATE Early WInter 2770
AGE: six as of Spring 2776

APPEARANCE
SIZE: smallish
COLOR: gold
HEX CODE: #FCE8B2
FULL APPEARANCE: The palest gold you've ever seen, Mirana is also pretty small. She's regularly outsized by browns and bronzes, though that doesn't make her any easier to catch. She's dainty and polite, dexterous in a way fire lizards seldom are.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Mirana is elegant, the very epitome of a benevolent queen. She confers her attention like favors, snubbing those that displease her and doting on those that do not. It's not terribly hard to figure out what makes her tick. Rudeness is abhorrent, manners are good.
