BASICS

RETIRE INFO: Dragon - Adopt / Character - Retire
NAME: Gred
GENDER: male
PRONOUNS: he/him/his
ORIENTATION: mildly flirty hetero

BIRTHDATE: Mid-spring 2742
AGE: 25 as of spring 2767
LOCATION: Semeca Weyr
OCCUPATION: Wingrider / Spy
WING: Minuet

APPEARANCE
EYES: light brown
HAIR: flaming ginger
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5' 9", medium build
PLAY BY: Oliver Phelps
FULL APPEARANCE: Gred looks just like Forge. That would be because they are identical twins, funny how that works. He's got flaming ginger hair of a somewhat fine texture, fair complexion as most redheads do, and surprisingly, light brown eyes rather than the blue you might expect. He gets his hair cut once in a while, as folks do, and it usually is a bit shaggy. Naturally he and Forge go to get their hair cut at the same time, because it wouldn't do for people to be able to tell them apart.

Gred is happy to say that he does have both ears, thank you very much, and they are both a bit on the large side. He has a straight nose in a longish face, with lips often curled in a smirk.
Most of the time Gred wears sturdy but fashionable outfits. For example, a wherhide jacket that doesn't have a lot of embellishment but its fine make shows in its cut, the texturing and the careful stitchwork, it just speaks "class".

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Gred has a generally sunny disposition. He is not too keen on authority for authority's sake, and loves to share a laugh. He also uses humour to deal with bad situations.

A born troublemaker, he usually knows where the line is between prank and humiliation, and won't step over that line without good cause. Gred is usually able to moderate Forge's more cutting sense of humour when their plans for trouble are put into action.

Gred is fiercely protective of all things family. He might grouse about one brother or another, but woe be it to the outsider who makes even the slightest disparaging remark.

Gred does not suffer fools gladly and is always ready to bring bullies and jerks down a peg or two, including getting into the occasional scrap if warranted.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Large families are the best! Parents: Arthur and Molly. Siblings: Bill, Charlie, Percy, Forge, Ron, Ginny.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Ista Weyr
HISTORY: Fourth or fifth (he would claim fourth) of seven children, his parents had high expectations for him after his elder brothers excelled in their craft studies. Gred could not see the point of spending all those hours applying oneself to dull lessons when there was so much else to be learned by other means.

He and Forge spent many childhood hours investigating all of the trails and tunnels on Ista. They learned several ways to sneak into and out of the Weyr and get onto the Hatching Grounds without being seen, but to their dismay they also learned that dragons don't need to see you to know you're there. This led them to refine their infiltration technique, and they were rumoured to have even offered secret tours (completely unauthorized of course, hence the need for secrecy) to new candidates for a small fee, a rumour which they both steadfastly denied to anyone that brought it up.

Gred could not conceive of a life without Forge in it. The two often finished each other's sentences when conversing with third parties, both because they could, sharing in large part their understanding of the world, and because it's forsking funny.

Naturally they both became candidates together. Clutch after clutch hatched with no result for the lads. His mother finally reconciled herself to their life choices after witnessing the hatching at which they both impressed, Gred becoming the lifemate of a fine blue, Lyuuth. "At last they'll get some sense and settle down!" she was heard to remark to her husband from the stands. Instead, their dragons reinforced their rabble-rousing tendencies.

When Emma offered them the chance to be spies at Semaca, Gred's first thought was "Don't we have Harpers for that?" His second thought was "Shards, we'd be way better at this than any Harper. Let's do it!" And so they did.

Lyuuth
Image

BASICS

NAME: Lyuuth
BIRTHDATE Spring 2760
AGE: 5 as of Winter 2765

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 34 ft
HEIGHT: 8.5 ft
WINGSPAN: 50 ft
COLOR: Blue
HEX CODE: #717EA1
FULL APPEARANCE: In many ways, Lyuuth is an average blue; his height, his wingspan, the shape of his body all indicate that his build is very middle of the road for his color. Appearances, however, can be very deceptive. He is freakishly quick in the air and on the ground both, moving with astonishing agility. As for his body, he is a lovely pale steel blue over the entirety of his body. Along his underbelly, slightly darker marks lick across his hide like flames; from the base of his tail to the tips, the underside is graced with a dark blue streak. His face and throat are a similar hue, standing out just barely from the rest of his body.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Lyuuth is the brawn of the operation. He’s bold, bright, and boastful, but never in a threatening way; his is a playful sense of competition, a sense that everything is a game or a challenge to be tackled head on. He thinks much like he plays, in that he likes to look problems in the face and try to figure them out from the most direct approach. Subtlety is not his strong point, as he speaks his mind plainly, believing that everyone should be able to look at things and just want to...solve them. That said, he is very good at keeping secrets, despite its contradictory nature to his personality.

He is a flirty and charming dragon when it comes to chasing and other dragons. He always wants to get to know them, inviting them out for flights around the landscape or keeping them company during meals and training. He loves getting to work on improvements, as he sees them as a great way to make yourself better and who wouldn’t want to do that? There’s always room to better yourself! He’d make a great wing second in the right place, with always having helpful criticisms and encouragements for the people around him. He may be all about the here and now, but he’s a good friend when one is needed and he’ll do whatever he can to try and uplift those people around him to greater heights.

Bludger
Image

BASICS

NAME: Bludger
BIRTHDATE Late summer 2767
AGE: 0 as of summer 2767

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: Small
HEIGHT: Small
WINGSPAN: Large
COLOR: Blue
HEX CODE: #021f4a
FULL APPEARANCE: Bludger has a slender head, a lean body and large delicate wings with light blue markings outlining bone and cartilage. There are light blue lines like spider web curves on the wing panels, and his tail is marked similarly. When the last rays of the sun catch him at twightlight, his skeletal frame appears to be glowing in the dark against a deep blue background.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Bludger does not know the meaning of the word "subtle", but he does know what he wants and will act directly to get it. Usually what he wants is scritches and good
food, but not from just anybody. Bludger has learned a most amusing (to himself) prank of people that displease him or rub him the wrong way; he pops in a short distance above their head, curls into a ball, drops like a stone and then disappears between at the moment of impact. Gred's attempts to talk him out of this behavior have been largely fruitless. Bludger thinks he is a very small blue dragon and hovers near Gred during wing training exercises and occasionally even during Threadfall, when he's not feeling too lazy.
