AGE: 16 as of 2768
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Weyrling
WING: Aurora Wing

APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Brown-Black
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5’6, skinny, with enough muscle to get by. Nothing special.
FULL APPEARANCE:

Lazu is a fairly skinny young lady, but with calloused hands and nimble fingers from repairing fishing nets and hauling things from the sea. Her body is tanned and usually very warm, her hair a windswept mess because of a lack of need to groom herself excessively. Her clothing is usually loose as the weather will allow, and will usually be sat somewhere studying or just watching people pass by. She is by no means an actively lady when she doesn’t need to be, but she manages to burn through the food she’s given.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

Lazu is a quiet person overall. Not to say she’s shy, she just doesn’t LIKE interacting with people unless she needs to. Her speech is usually monotone, and she doesn’t usually say more than she needs to. In addition, she’s also a fan of sarcasm and dry humor, but shes’ not so proud that she can’t laugh at herself. While it takes her a while to warm up to people, she will also be an incredibly loyal friend once she finds she can trust you.

She has an affinity for water, often enjoying time within the Weyr’s lake. Shes’ a powerful swimmer, able to do laps or just paddle as needed. She will usually be found out here when the weather allows it, and generally prefer time swimming better spent than time spent with others. Despite her cold disposition, she can be quite quick to try and befriend those she perceives as in need of a friend. Shes’ really picky about who she picks as a friend, but she will always do her best to maintain those friendships as long as she feels they’re right for her.

She unfortunately has a problem with people trying to be too assertive or trying to lord over her unjustly. Lazu has a fierce independent streak that really flares up when her freedom is threatened and she will not hesitate to fight if she perceives the other person as trying to control her without cause. Unfortunately, this can lead her to lashing out at people who only mean well. In response, she has a habit of withdrawing if she feels she cannot somehow easily fix the problems she causes, causing bigger rifts between herself and others.

Intra-weyr politics don’t interest her at all. The only time she can be bothered to mobilize against leaders is of she finds them personally unjust. She frankly could care less about the established leaders. So long as they aren’t complete tyrants, she just lets them do their jobs.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Turq – Father ( Fisherman )
Quama - Mother ( Fisherman )
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Sea hold
HISTORY:

Her history is a simple one.

Lazu grew up in a larger hold, daughter of some fisherman who helped provide for the community. Her early life was mostly her learning the ins and out of her craft, setting her up to be a proper fisherman like her parents. Unfortunately, her world was turned upside down the first time she met a Searchrider.

The blue dragon was something she’d never forget. He’d been so big and blue, and the Rider had been so kind. She never got their name, but her friend at the time Jasp had been chosen as Candidate material. Sadly, Jasp had had to decline, as she was tending to her family and wasn’t willing to abandon her little siblings to chase Thread across the sky. Lazu had held it against her ever since, especially when she saw the blue take off into the great blue sky…

As she grew up, she started watching the skies, hoping and praying that another dragon rider would come by and say she was worthy of riding one of the great beasts. But that wasn’t the only encounter with dragonkind. The first time she met a family with a wher, she was in awe of the beast. Granted, it couldn’t FLY but it was just so… big. And blue. She had been allowed to pet it, and had had a hard time pulling back. The family had been visiting one of their extended relatives, and would be there a long while...

Something about dragons just made her want to give it all up. Give up her life and just take a chance on being a Rider. She knew that getting to a Weyr would be hard, but she’d sailed through storms and was more than willing to risk her life on land. It wasn’t like she was any happier out at sea than she was inland… Her parents, having been raised on the tales of cruel riders and even cruel wher riders, forbade her from doing it.

Not like that would stop her.

She would steal away after turning 15 turns old, going along with the family who had the blue wher of her dreams. They’d gladly take her back to Fort Weyr on the way home, telling her all they knew about whercare... she'd gladly take the title of 'runaway youth' if it meant that she'd be allowed to stay at Fort Weyr and be a candidate.

Yharnath


BASICS
NAME:Yharnath
BIRTHDATE Early Spring 2770
AGE: 0 as of 2770

APPEARANCE
Length: 36ft
Height: 9ft
Wingspan: 54ft
COLOR: Unique
HEX CODE: #061135 - #ed157d - #abb6bc
FULL APPEARANCE:
A mutation if the weyr ever saw one! Yharnath is a fine showing of Serapheth's bloodline. He is solidly built and could almost be mistaken for a blue, if a little taller than average. He has a strong neck and sturdy legs and tail. He is a deep ocean blue, with a faint metallic shine to his hide. His markings are a bright white, fading into a hot pink. There is a bright white-pink mask over his eyes, and around his legs are cute garters that lead up to crescent markings. His hind legs have elaborate lines and dots on them, like fancy bangles. The backs of his wings fade from pink to purple.


PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Yharnath is the patron saint of lost causes, and that is probably why he picked Lazu. While his callings will be to defending the weak and those who cannot help themselves, he also has to keep an eye on his person, for better or for worse. There's enough bad in this world, and despite needing to keep that peace his own... well, Yharnath would rather protect his small patch of paradise than try to get involved in any large scale conflict. He will only fight unless someone else is hostile first, as he recognizes that even monsters were once people.

That said, he will likely spend most of his time keeping Lazu out of trouble. This is a task that he has decided to undertake, for whatever reason. Who truly knows, really? His reasons are very much his own, and he will take this in however long-suffering ways he must. He does like his weird human, and he has thrown his lot in with her. He's good, and he does good.

Voice: Yharnath sounds like he's been around for a long while. He's a little raspy, a little hoarse, but he always gets his point across.

Why me?: Problem child, and patron saint of lost causes.

Droplet


BASICS
NAME: Droplet
BIRTHDATE Early Spring 2769
AGE: 0 as of 2769

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Blue
FULL APPEARANCE: Droplet is a pretty simple looking blue. He's a nice dark blue all over, save for the lighter markings that run all over his underside. They accent his lower jaw, hi ribs, his legs and tail as well.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Droplet is relaxed as all hell.

He gladly lets people move him around, pick him up and toss him gently. He has zero fear of strangers, but will take cues from his human should the need arise. The blue can sleep in any position, and will sleep anywhere he feels like. As a messenger, he's passable, but as anything else he's incredibly useless. It doesn't help that he usually follows Lazu's lead and is simply too relaxed to care about most things.
