BASICS

NAME: F'rey (Previously Freya)
GENDER: Female
PRONOUNS: She/Her/Hers
ORIENTATION: Undecided, leans Heterosexually but lacks experience.

BIRTHDATE: Born Early Spring, Turn 2753
AGE: 19 as of Turn 2772
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Candidate (Searched) Brown Fort Weyrling
WING: N/A

APPEARANCE
EYES: Pale blue-gray, tired under long, dark eyelashes and stress lines.
HAIR: Platinum blonde with pale brown roots- bleached naturally with homemade shampoo scrubs over many turns. Densely curly, the color darkens every turn, hinting at an eventual brunette. Never truly cut, she keeps her hair treated and tied up and out of the way, commonly in tedious braids.
HEIGHT AND BUILD: A surprisingly fit 5'8" (and still growing, to eventually reach a delightfully beefy 5'10")

FULL APPEARANCE:
She has a dark complexion prone to pale scars, which show up the most on her hands and feet from years of hard work as a small holder's middle daughter. Her hair is densely curled and has been left to grow long enough to need braiding to be manageable. Its faded color is the result of experimenting with its care over many turns, dry at its tips and bleached with raw lye soap one too many times. It does serve to distract from the shocking blue of her eyes, often thought to be the only trait she inherited from her father, the picture of her mother otherwise.

F'rey is a sturdy lass, tall and wide in the shoulder and hip alike. Lean from hard times but never malnutrition, the girl is arguably fitter than the traditional sort might consider to be attractive, with muscles toned from heavy work that a lack of brothers meant for her growing up. She might dress like one, but this girl's no lady, which could be why she was never her father's favorite.

She carries herself with dignity but lacks the pride to back it, never quite meeting anyone's eyes in conversation and presenting herself as small and unassuming when uncomfortable.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
F'rey is proud of her heritage but refuses to abide to tradition despite it. She puts others before herself, always, to a self-detrimental fault. She never shirks work she agrees to but doesn't always make time for her own chores. Since arriving in the Weyr, she's learning some manners at least, but still can't stop cussing or pointing out uncomfortable honesties. She hasn't learned to shut up, even though it's held her back in life.

PROS: Dutiful, Generous, Sturdy, Reliable
When F'rey says she'll do something, she sticks to it. She offers a lot of herself to others and puts 110% into everything she does- assuming it's not her traditional role back home as some dude's wife, anyway. There's a strength to her that doesn't seem to let up, both physically and by way of her indomitable spirit. She'll help you fix your life up with a smile, even as hers falls apart around her.

NEUTRAL: Honest, Industrious, Restless, Aloof
Where she's strong in ability she lacks in socializing; F'rey struggles to keep true relationships with others due to her blatant honesty and lack of consideration when it comes to others' feelings. While she'll work herself to her grave, she'll accidentally neglect the friendships she makes along the way, often leaving her alone and her own needs left unattended- as she'll never remember herself as she is currently. She leaves little room in her life for pleasantries.

CONS: Obscene, Resentful, Guarded, Neglectful
Foul mouthed and mannerless despite her upbringing in a minor but respectable hold, F'rey's lack of filter is probably her worst trait. She deflects from herself and can even get cruel in trying to change the subject, often pointing out flaws or mistakes that -she- could fix and hey let's just focus on that for a second? Ignore the pot boiling over in her head, she'll just use that frustration to fix the hole that just appeared in your house- totally accidental, let me just---

She skipped a lot of lessons growing up and is thusly under-educated. While she can read and write, it's at a much lower level than is appropriate for her age and status. Struggles with words but is gifted with mathematics given reason to try. Since arriving to the Weyr, this has improved slowly but surely and most recently as she matures she's found herself more interested at least in calculation. She may always struggle to read, but finds it helps to read aloud and can sometimes be found tucked into a corner practicing with quiet muttering.

She loves the sea but hates woodland and similar settings for the bugs and humidity. As a kid, she enjoyed sailing with her parents from time to time on business excursions. She has a well-cherished spyglass from one of these minor voyages and wears the compact but rough-hewn treasure on a sling around her neck unless forced to remove it- and then it is hung with care in her quarters, out of reach of too-young hands that might wander in for an inspection.

F'rey fears enclosed spaces and the feeling of being trapped. The claustrophobic aspects of her fears are manageable, but only if she feels she can escape the situation easily enough. A closet won't cause more than discomfort but a coffin would instill actual, primal terror in the otherwise steadfast lass.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Mother called Fredani, father called Keyad. Three sisters, of which two are much older and one younger- left vague in case they're played in future. Elder sisters are both married now, but haven't had children of their own yet. F'rey has never met their partners.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A - leaving this here for later use ;o
BIRTHPLACE: Minor Hold near Fort
HISTORY:
Childhood (0-10 Turns)
Freya was third born of four daughters to Lord Holder Keyad and his aging wife Fredani. With both older sisters already grown and set to marry into holdings of their own, Freya was expected to follow suit in turn. Instead, she did everything within her small power to avoid such responsibilities. Shirking lessons in favor of helping with chores- 'it's fine, the harper won't mind if it's for something so important'- or purposefully filling her free time with extra make-work, Freya built for herself a near unhealthy work ethic before she'd reached ten turns.

Youth (11-15 Turns)
Blooming into a teen only made Freya's bad habits worse. Where she sought excitement and hard challenges in life, her parents were gearing her up for an eventual life as someone's wife and mother. With a firmer understanding of what it would mean for her, Freya became more and more resistant to the plans her parents had for her.

Freya spent more and more time away the older she got, busying herself with odd jobs and learning more by work than by book. By 15, she'd spent more time working crops and gutters than she ever had singing the old ballads- and she was keen to keep it that way.

Early Adulthood (16 Turns)
Being searched at the age of 16 changed Freya's life extensively. Even though she failed to impress her first time on the sands, she remained with Fort Weyr, a dedicated candidate for every hatching she could attend thereafter. Even if she never does impress, the tough young woman is dead set on spending her life amongst dragons and their folk. She'd make many mistakes and earn a few strikes to her name as a youth in the weyr but with a determination to leave hold life behind forever, Freya's finally starting to own up to it.

Freya still struggles with tradition and authority but she takes her tasks in the weyr seriously, even if she does question everything she doesn't agree with. She's prone to sneaking down to watch the weyrlings practice when she ought to be studying and still lacks in her academics as a result. She can, at least, recount the various important dragon sagas by song, even if she has a horrible singing voice for it.

Regarding recent events since her arrival at Fort Weyr, Freya's anti-tradition stance has only crystalized with the upheaval of leadership and inner turmoil of the weyr. The uneasy peace is welcome, especially now that Freya's encroaching adulthood means she'll have a more active role in such politics, but if sides break out again, she also knows which she'll take- and it won't be with the one time-honored traditions that she'd thought she'd finally escaped.

Post-Impression (16 - Present)
Freya stands for Serapheth's clutch at Fort Weyr and impresses at last! She takes the name F'rey and immediately adores her beloved Brown Calyptrath.

IC Information
What type of candidate is your character: Dragon

What color/s does your character want?: Bronze/Brown/Blue/Garnet in that order.
Does your character have any personality preferences or concerns?: Hopes for a dragon that'll be all pride and work-ready.
Does your character have any other preferences or concerns?: Dreads the idea of impressing gold specifically, though green would be somewhat disappointing too- namely dreading the traditional impression suggesting she's anything like her complacent and traditional sisters.

OOC Information
If your character is a dual candidate IC, do you have a strong preference on whether they Impress dragon or wher?: She's only intended to stand for dragons but I'm open to shenanigans that could lead to her impressing elsewhere.

What color(s) are you willing for your character to impress to?: Anything goes, it'll be interesting whether she gets what she wants or not. I personally love to torment but I can find other ways to do so besides bonding unexpectedly..!
Do you want your character to be eligible for gold?: Absolutely, it'd be her worst nightmare haha
Do you have any personality preferences or concerns?: A partner to keep her reeled in and on firm ground from time to time, but one with patience enough to ride out her stubborn antics. Bonus points if they're lazy, because that'd be ironic.
Do you have any other preferences or concerns?: Freya is in need of new drama now that she's comfortable in weyr life tsk tsk lets hope this brings some
Why do you think these choice/s would be a good fit?: A yearning for in-character drama and upset mostly, all the good ones suffer first.

Do you have any preferences about the conditions of your character’s impression?: Freya's intended to have seen a few hatchings without impressing over her roughly three turns at the Weyr since being searched. It's fair to suggest that her eagerness to prove a point overshadowed her willingness to bond with a life partner, something
Are you alright with your character getting hurt? What injury level is acceptable/what should be avoided?: Anything short of crippling injuries are fine- humble this wild child accordingly.

Is there anything you will ABSOLUTELY NOT accept?: Nah, free discretion, first timer needs to e x p e r i e n c e the process

Calyptrath
Image


BASICS

NAME: Calyptrath
BIRTHDATE Early Spring 2773
AGE: Newborn as of Early Spring 2773

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 50ft
HEIGHT: 12.5ft
WINGSPAN: 75ft
COLOR: Brown
HEX CODE: #592b1f
FULL APPEARANCE:
Calyptrath is a theatrical dragon, even before he says a word. His every move is expressive and eye-catching, graceful and perhaps a little calculated, as if he is performing for an audience only he can see. He is lean and long, on the larger side for a brown. Calyptrath's hide is a dark brown, seeming almost black in some lights. It fades to a slightly lighter color along his feet. His wings are a brighter, almost orangey brown, broken by streaks of a darker color. The impression is that of a strategically tattered cloak.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Calyptrath is an entertainer. He is a dramatic, theatrical dragon who lives for the show. It is hard not to be captivated by him somewhat. He's quite charismatic, speaking in ways to draw the ear to whatever agenda he wishes to push. He bows respectfully, demanding respect from those he meets (for you see, he is courteous enough to give his respect in return). He has a complex internal code, and someone straying from it is cause for retaliation. He, like his dam, has no problems biting or harming humans should the situation come to it. Perhaps he takes after Serapheth a little too much. Calyptrath is a dragon who prides himself on his rather regal nature, and it is hard to deny that he has a silver tongue.

To his rider, Calyptrath finds himself superior to them. This does not manifest in violence, rudeness, or malice. Instead he takes care of them, for clearly someone so inferior needs looking after, since clearly they can't manage it himself. He has an odd soft spot for children, able to spend time around them and entertain them without letting his more extreme nature sink in. If eggs need to be watched, he would happily volunteer. He finds only Ustreilith to be his equal, a fact that both of them know very well. Whatever motives he has for the world, Pern would be wise to keep an eye on this dragon. After all, the show must always go on.

Voice: Like silk, Calyptrath's voice is smooth and charming. He is quite easy to listen to.

Why Me?: Calyptrath may not be entirely what Freya is looking for, but he thinks he is, and that is all that matters (to him).
