M'resh

BASICS

RETIRE INFO: Dragon - Adopt / Character - Retire
NAME: M'resh
GENDER: nonbinary
PRONOUNS: xe/xem/xir
ORIENTATION: Aromantic queer

BIRTHDATE: Fall 2745
AGE: 21 as of 2767
LOCATION: High Reaches Weyr
OCCUPATION: Candidate
WING: N/A

APPEARANCE
EYES: dark brown
HAIR: dark brown frizzy
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5' 9", wiry
Play by: Michael Okoromadu
FULL APPEARANCE: Miloresh has a bit of a baby face and no facial hair, but a full head of frizzy dark brown hair twisted into short spikey tufts. Xir feet are bigger than warranted, while xir hands are long-fingered and often held awkwardly as though they are appendages that belong to someone else. Xe rubs xir somewhat broad nose with the back of xir hand when xe is unsure about something, which happens a lot. The deep-set large dark brown eyes give Miloresh a more sensitive look than xe likes, but at least xe doesn't have to deal with dimples.

Miloresh wears sturdy workclothes which have been patched well but multiple times. No point in letting clothes go to waste just because they get a tear in them.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Outgoing and cheery on the surface, slow to make real connections, Miloresh is quick to take offense but equally quick to forgive and forget, Miloresh will do xir share of the grunge work just like anyone else but won't be That Person who always sticks around to clean up after a Gather, nuh uh. Life is too short for all work and no play, but there's a hidden sense of duty the right people or circumstances can tap. Xe secretly gives names to every herdbeast in the pen and then finds a corner to bawl in when they are sold or butchered.

As a fifth child (see below) Miloresh got all the hand-me-downs and little enough of xir parents' attention. This means that xir failures growing up were noted and xir successes were shrugged off as nothing special, by everyone in the family including Miloresh xirself. Don't ask xir if xe's got a confidence problem though, you'll get a sharp denial in reply.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Five siblings, one of whom is "missing" (see below). Ma and Pa are both in fine health and run the hold with strong hands; Grandda is not in fine health but seems destined to hang on for years yet.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: a small Hold in the Outlands
HISTORY: Milroesh was the fifth of six children. The eldest was the senior herdbeast wrangler and Miloresh's taskmaster . Xe was sent to a nearby Hold for apprenticeship in beastcraft with a family friend, and unfortunately sent home after a single turn because "You show a natural compassion for the creatures you work with but that's not enough. You need thick skin like a wher's to do well in this craft, and I don't see that happening."

This tiny Hold had never been searched; rumor had it that xir older sister's disappearance in her 17th Turn was because she crept out in the middle of the night to meet a tithe caravan passing through and catch a ride to the Weyr to plead to become a candidate at the next Hatching. Though most family members still believed this rumor, Miloresh knew it was't so, because xir sister crept out in the middle of the night to run off with with her lover, a beastcraft journeyman who had just received his rank and post to a distant part of the continent. And xe knew that because xe helped her creep out of the hold without being discovered, and hasn't said a word to anyone about it to this day.

Miloresh was driven to try for a beastcraft apprenticeship in part because xe was good with the herdbeasts, in part due to the stories xe heard about the craft from xir sister, and in part because xe has long harbored a secret desire to see other parts of Pern for xirself. It took a long time but xe had almost gotten over xir crushed dreams. Almost... but not quite. Until one day...

ZIATH
Image
Fly, the wind it will take me / Back to my home, sweet home
BASICS

NAME: Ziath
BIRTHDATE: Fall 2676
AGE: 0 as of Late Fall 2767

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: YES
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 1

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 31 ft
HEIGHT: 8 ft
WINGSPAN: 42 ft
COLOR:
HEX CODE: #02B093
FULL APPEARANCE: Ziath is a dragon who will never want for admirers. A large and powerful green, amongst the largest of her color, she has hide of a rich emerald fading to a grassy green over her face. Her tail is speckled with pale markings that look almost like some sort of unusual flower scattered by a playful hand. But it is her wings that will inevitably draw stares. Their pattern is subtle, but beautiful, mirroring the rocky cliffs of the land she calls home. It’s as if someone has taken a piece of the world and frozen it forever on her wings.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Ziath is peaceful. She is as serene as she looks, content to lie around the metaphorical hearth and tend to it. She would much rather be a home-dragon, one who helps and takes care of things so no one else has to worry. She will adopt pretty much anything, especially if it hatches and she sees it hatch. Nothing is safe. This may extend to children if she ever sees them and is introduced to them. But there's such a calmness to her that she would make for an excellent Searchdragon. Her presence is calming.

To her rider, Ziath will need focus and guidance. She does not enjoy pushing her boundaries, but she also will be grateful for it. Even after calamity she will find a silver lining, always. She is not overbearing with that sort of optimism, it is in quiet bits of wisdom and care that she takes. There is not a bad bone in her body, she is consistently kind. Usually, she has to look to Zulth or Kersuth to keep an eye on her, or protect her.

SCRATCHES
Image

BASICS

NAME: Scratches
BIRTHDATE Late summer 2767
AGE: 00 as of 2767


APPEARANCE
COLOR: Green
FULL APPEARANCE:
Scratches is a small delicate green with sleek lines, no matter how much she eats. She has spots of intense light green on her neck and back, dark green wings, and dark green stripes on her tail.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Scratches is very mild-tempered, in spite of her name. She has three great loves: tunnel snake meat, sleep, and scritches from Miloresh, although she will happily accept scritches from anyone else that seems well-intentioned.

Scratches loves her human but doesn't really get this whole "doing tasks for your person" thing. She'll deliver a message, sure, but Miloresh has to really really want it delivered. Otherwise, there's food to be eaten, sleep to be had, and playtime for a flight trick or two.

Scratches is extremely randy even for a green; when she's not with Miloresh she's probably flitting about looking for a cute blue or two.
