BASICS

RETIRE INFO: Retire
NAME: Nariyo
GENDER: Male (cis)
PRONOUNS: he/him
ORIENTATION: Gay

BIRTHDATE: Late Summer 2748
AGE: 26 as of Late Summer 2774
LOCATION: Semaca Weyr
OCCUPATION: Wherhandler
SQUAD: Weyr Guard

APPEARANCE
EYES: Dark Hazel
HAIR: Dark Brown
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6'3", thin and straight
PLAY-BY: art by me (top), picrew by sangled (bottom)
FULL APPEARANCE: Nariyo is tall and lanky, with rich medium-brown skin. His eyes are a dark shade of hazel-green, and his hair is a darker brown, straight and to the length of his waist - yet he very rarely does anything with it, aside from occasionally putting it back into a ponytail. Overall he's fairly attractive, He often wears simple shirts and pants, usually in shades of white, black or green, but he's never been too into fashion; he normally just opts for the most comfortable clothing. His posture is relatively good, but sometimes when he isn't feeling great he pays less attention to it, and slumps very slightly. He is very expressive with his face, and smiles a lot - most of the time it's forced, but looks fairly natural.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Nariyo's most defining character trait is his determination to make everyone around him feel warm and welcome. He loves to talk to people, and he loves listening to other people's stories, he could do so for days on end. He's pretty good at helping people talk out their problems - his emotional intelligence is definitely one of his strong points. He constantly puts on a positive front as to not drag other people down, as despite his friendly exterior, he suffers with depression, and historically has never really liked himself as a person. He is completely selfless, always putting other people first and striving to help others. As a result of this, he never prioritises his own needs until he's pushed to his absolute limit.

Although he has a very good heart and knows how to make other people feel better well, he lacks in his book smarts and his wisdom. Despite his good empathy, he often gets uncomfortable about his own emotions, and feels insecure about how sensitive he can be in stressful situations. He has a 'try everything once' attitude, and likes to try new experiences, wanting to live every day as though it was his last, despite what little energy he may have on his off-days. He is confident, and will always be honest with his opinions - he stands firmly by his morals, and his best interest is always what's best for his friends, as he remains a loyal and caring person. However, he gets attached very quickly, and thinks literally everyone he interacts with is his friend.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother: Nariami (absent)
Father: Riyonas
Grandmother: Yonasira (deceased)
Aunt: Greenrider Dia (born Diaeira) (deceased)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: (None yet, but he is reaaaally crushing on his best friend.)
BIRTHPLACE: Ista Weyr
HISTORY: Nariyo has been accustomed to the world of dragons since birth, as he grew up at Ista Weyr. His parents split not long after he was born, and his mother moved far away - leaving him with his father, who too was neglectful and rude. Of his family, he was by far the closest to his aunt, Dia of Green Yhanoth, who always made plenty of time for him even when she spent most of her days riding. Unfortunately, when he was a teenager, she fell victim to Threadfall, resulting in her death; her dragon immediately followed suit and went Between. This devastated Nariyo, as he had not had much experience with death, and thus sent him into a deep depression that still lingers around to date, yet he has found ways of coping since then.

After he became a candidate, he met Makai, a similarly-aged boy who he had seen around from time to time, but didn't properly get to know until then. He impressed to Garnet Narsk when he was 18, and gradually made a friend in Makai throughout their wherlinghood, and started to develop feelings for him, which he's sure are mutual, but still hasn't said anything to him. By the time they graduated, they had made friends for life, and even got each other gifts for graduating. Nariyo gifted Makai a flit egg, which he aptly named 'Gift', and Makai gave Nariyo a pendant made from wood and string, which he promised to cherish forever, and has so far fulfilled that promise. Makai made it himself, and Nariyo has kept it with him ever since he got it. They eventually moved to Semaca together, and since then, have stayed as close as they were back then, yet have still not confessed their feelings to one another.

Garnet Narsk
Image

My dimglow now.

(art by Woky)


BASICS

NAME: Narsk
BIRTHDATE Early Spring 2767
AGE: 4 Turns as of Early Spring 2771

CLUTCHING
[Whers/Dragons only]


CLUTCHING: NO
RUNS: 1

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 14ft
HEIGHT: 5ft
COLOR: Garnet
HEX CODE: #451e75
FULL APPEARANCE: Narsk is fairly average-sized for a Garnet. She is a deep purple in colour, for the most part, yet her face and tiger-esque stripes that cover the majority of her core are of a paler hue, closer to a lilac or lavender. The underside of her wings have intricate markings, looking almost like embossed feathers.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: There's a reason why Nariyo has pointed out multiple times that Narsk is an anagram of Snark. She is incredibly snarky, and constantly likes to tease her handler about his crush amongst other things. She is brutally honest, almost to the point of being overly critical - and her wisdom is relatively high, and she serves as Nariyo's impulse control, if the situation were going to be dangerous for her handler or get him into potential serious trouble. However, if there's no serious consequences at stake, she likes to metaphorically grab the popcorn and let the disaster happen, just because it's funny to watch. Although her quick wit and sharp sense of humour give her a certain persona on the outside - deep down, she deeply cares for her handler and the people close to him. Narsk is not afraid to be courageous, confront problems head on, or talk about things that may be difficult or uncomfortable - however, there are times where she's not much of a conversationalist at all, and will just watch from afar. She's not fond of being asked questions by strangers, and can be quite rude in response if she feels like she's being annoyed on purpose.

Blue Thief
Image


BASICS

NAME: Blue Thief
BIRTHDATE Late Spring 2770
AGE: Newborn as of Late Spring 2770

APPEARANCE
FULL APPEARANCE: Thief is a small firelizard, his body a bold shade of royal blue, with not much in the way of patterns or distinct markings. He is long and thin, very nimble-bodied, with some slight muscle visible on his legs. His wings are slightly more cyan than the rest of his body, and relatively proportionate to his size.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Thief is nothing but a troublemaker at heart. He is daring, mischievous, and a prankster; he is the kind to do anything for a few cheap laughs. He doesn't like to listen to instruction, or take authority seriously. He's just out for a good time, and cares about having fun and pretty much nothing else. As he gets older, he may calm down - but for the time being, this young blue is a ball of energy and mischief.

Blue Narisk
Image

Am Narisk. Ready to save world.


BASICS:
NAME: Narisk
AGE: Newborn as of Late Summer 2770
BIRTH DATE: Late Summer 2770

APPEARANCE:
COLOUR: Blue
LENGTH: 13 feet
HEIGHT: 4.5 feet
HEX CODE: #2e4f9a
APPEARANCE: Narisk is a wher that hatched looking like the night sky. His hide is deep and dark and covered in markings like stars, hidden only by the faint shadow of wispy clouds. He's small for a blue wher, but well-formed, with relatively even features and a build that's neither too lean nor too bulky. His eyes are large and wide and while he, like all whers has wrinkles, his hide is smooth enough not to distract from his coloring.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Narisk is an idealist through and through. He believes that the world should be full of good, and because it should be, it can be, and he's going to do what he can to make sure that it is. He's driven and hard-working, though sometimes to excess; his handler may have to remind him often that he can't do everything all at once. He's a natural leader, but a little on the arrogant side, convinced that he's the one who's actually capable of fixing things. While he rarely actively seeks the spotlight he certainly enjoys his time in it when it comes.

He's very family-oriented, attached to his handler and anyone else around them. However, he doesn't really do casual friendships; when he includes someone in his "family", that's wholly and completely. He'd trust them with his life, and expects them to do the same for him.

He has a strange fascination with klah, and even when fully grown will have a bad habit of trying to sneak a taste of any left in reach of him.

VOICE: Narisk's voice is not especially loud, and somewhat monotone, but he can manage to be somewhat forceful regardless

WHY ME?: Nariyo and Narisk are both determined to take care of the world. Maybe they can learn to take care of each other.
