"Why can't I just trip over a get-rich-quick scheme already?!"

BASICS

NAME: K'ioyo [Kukioyo]
GENDER: Female
PRONOUNS: She/Her/Hers
ORIENTATION: Bisexual

BIRTHDATE: Summer 2753
AGE: 23 as of Summer 2776
LOCATION: Semaca Weyr
OCCUPATION: Beauty fashionista Squad Member
WING: Requiem Squad

APPEARANCE
EYES: Sapphire
HAIR: Copper - red sheen under proper lighting
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6'1" and modest, thin
PLAY-BY: N/A
EXPY SOURCE: Jessie (Pokémon)
FULL APPEARANCE: Everything about this woman is pointed and sharp: from the angle of her chin to the dourness of her gaze. It's easy to spot her beauty in the room. Piercing blue eyes could split your soul down the middle. Her hair, a brilliant copper that has shimmers of red under direct sunlight, sways all the way down to her hips. K'ioyo typically keeps the ungainly mass tied into a tight ponytail or bun. She has a delicate, shapely figure and has no misgivings about flaunting it in all its glory. Most of her attire clings to her well-defined curves or is spattered with such colors and patterns that would compliment her own looks.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Faranth, where to even begin? K'ioyo is headstrong, and not in a mild way either. Stubborn, conceited, and scheming with just a hint of kleptomania. She's far from one who will sit back and wait for the world to spit out a favor in her direction. Heck no, she'll go out and seize it with (or without) consent. K'ioyo doesn't have much respect for personal property unless its her own. "What's your's is mine! What's mine is still mine!"

Default mood? Pessimistic anger. She'd like to consider herself pragmatic but let's face it - most of her plans are half-baked and doomed to fail, likely owing to the fact that she horribly underestimates her situations or the people she may be rivaling against. K'ioyo is exceptionally proud of her long, beautiful hair and 'vivacious good looks' and can be driven to blind rage if her physical attributes become damaged. Her drive to become Weyrwoman is a deep-seated longing for all the wrong reasons - longing for popularity and not so much all the work that comes with it. Semaca may not have one but ... will that stop her? Not in a long shot.

Despite K'ioyo's caustic outer layer, she has a longing to love and be loved. She pines to share her life with some dashing Prince Charming doting on her ever need. She tends to bet on the wrong partners - often - and can be ridiculously blind to what's directly in front of her.

Speaking of! K'rio. Of him, her dragon, her fire-lizard and even Meowth, K'ioyo is ruthlessly protective. Although they may drive her nuts and their relationships are anything but perfect, K'ioyo champions them and will often coach them self-confidence. She is extremely comfortable with K'rio, regarding him as the closest thing to family since her mother passed so many turns ago.


HISTORY
FAMILY:
Ioto - mother, 52
Father - unknown
K'rio of Garnet Mareath - closest friend/love interest
Meowth - Best Friend (formerly) -- Open Tie
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Complicated situationship
BIRTHPLACE: A cothold in the Northern Barrier Mountains
HISTORY:
Ioto was a nomadic by heart. She spent the vast majority of her life traveling the wilds of Pern, taking on with a caravan that grew in number and establishing herself as a trader. Over the turns their numbers fluctuated, seeing some retire to Holds small and large while still more took their place. Ioto found love with multiple partners who waxed and waned like the moon. One hapless encounter left her with child. Thus Kukioyo was born on the winding road - fatherless, as her sire was not want for commitment as so many of Ioto's lovers had been.

Ioto strived her best to care for her fledgling while maintaining her deep wanderlust. It became clear during harsh winters and uncertain ventures that Kukioyo needed a more stable environment to flourish in. Shortly after her babe's first birthday, Ioto took her business savvy and gathered goods to plant roots down at the base of the Northern Barrier Mountains, meshing in with the little cothold that had been established there by the older members of their caravan. Relations with other members were good enough for her to trust Kukioyo's care into their hands. Ioto could not contain herself to one location for long. Soon, she heeded the call of the wild with a caravan formed from young blood. She hesitated on bringing her daughter with her for fear of the unknowns lurking the wilds. But she found it impossible to separate with Kukioyo, even under the care of her trusted peers, and so the caravan gained a toddler troop member.

Then when Kukioyo was four, Thread emerged in silvery strands from the sky. And with it, dragons! Beautiful fire searing the threat! The smell of sulfur, the intensity and adrenaline of being caught in the open while the Weyrs fought above (and receiving a tongue-lashing for such a dangerous feat). Turn after turn they ventured across Pern as one large band of traders, intermingling with Holds to sell goods and sometimes bartering with the holdless (or brandishing knives, as it were) to allow safe passage. And as Kukioyo grew she became ... restless. There was something deeply unsettling about being on the constant move, never lingering for longer than a fortnight to lay down roots. She became temperamental and dagger-tongued. Nighttime invigorated her with dreams of a life in the arms of someone charming and a soft, cushiony life where one didn't have to bargain for marks to trade for food, flowing gowns and warm drinks day in and day out ... ! She and Ioto traded heated words on several occasions until her mother, pulling her hair out from stress, bought her a fire-lizard egg in hopes that it would ease her child's frustrations. Spring birthed a little garnet with serpentine wiles, dubbed Ekans thusly. For a time, Kukioyo was happy. But restlessness gradually began to win out once again.

At 16, her paths crossed with Kakario. They were both in same Hold at the same time and met by sheer chance. Kukioyo immediately found a kinship and closeness with him that could not be felt with anybody else and whether he was aware of it or not, it led her to stay rooted to the spot for longer than a season. When dragonriders Searched Kakario, she was hit with a sudden and intense despair of being left along again - but it was short-lived, as the creature seemed to find her suitable for candidacy as well. The pair set off for Ista Weyr, where they met Meowth and quickly became an unbreakable trio ... and degenerates, as their environment and personalities turned them into little imps who caused trouble when and where they could. Of course they stood for clutches, yet no dragons looked their way. At least not until 2770, when garnet Mareath claimed the newly-dubbed K'rio with daggers piercing into Kukioyo's soul.

It was Mareath who pulled K'rio away. It was Mareath who uttered sweet nothings and turned him against her. It was Mareath who ultimately fractures the seemingly steel bond that once tethered them together. Meowth and Kukioyo were both ignored while K'rio's rose-colored glasses could see only his dragon. Burned and betrayed, she left. Kukioyo transferred to Telgar Weyr as soon as the chance came. When bitter winds heralded winter's approach, blue Wobbuffeth with her malformed wings found her on the sands. She was K'ioyo! His K'ioyo!

Intense weyrling training and eventual graduation did little to pull her memories of Ista, of K'rio, and of Meowth. She tossed herself into relationships with others, seeking 'the one and only' as a means of filling that void without relief. When the option of transferring opened up to her, K'ioyo planted her ears to the ground - or rather, Ekans to the air, for she would become a little spy seeking bits of information potentially leading to K'rio's new location. He wasn't at Ista anymore. Not Benden (thank Faranth!) nor Fort or High Reaches. Ekans returned with clues indicating he'd transferred to Semaca. So that was what K'ioyo was going to do, to! She was going to go to the Summerlands and tell K'rio exactly how pissed off she was at his whershit antics!

Ekans
Image


BASICS

NAME: Ekans
BIRTHDATE Fall 2764
AGE: 12 as of Fall 2776

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Garnet
FULL APPEARANCE: Ekans' base color is about as simple as they come. Her body from tip of muzzle to end of tail, and all the bits in between, are a lovely vibrant grape. The wings are where things really take off. The backsides are pale lavender. That same shade occupies the outer fringes of the wing membranes' undersides, gradually darkening as they reach the palm until they peak at a deep violet. Ekans is a bit longer in the body than usual, but it's not so huge a difference that it stands out. She relies a lot more on her legs, and often slinks against the ground so low that her stomach grazes against it.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Ekans is a ssssneaky ssssnake with wings. And legs. She is unassuming and quiet - not prone to stand out in a crowd and not very vocal. This makes doing undercover stuff that much easier. There doesn't really appear to be much going on in that noggin' of her's. If her 'master' gives her a command, she will follow it to the letter even if it means bodily harm. K'ioyo is the pinnacle of her devotion - and she will bare down, fangs bared, if harm comes to her.

Wobbuffeth
Image

Mutation: 'Follow-Me Eyes', markings on his wings that are slightly indented and appear to follow you.


BASICS

NAME: Wobbuffeth
BIRTHDATE Winter 2770
AGE: 6 as of Winter 2776

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 33.5ft
HEIGHT: 8.5ft
WINGSPAN: 57.75ft
COLOR: Blue
HEX CODE: #77C1DC
FULL APPEARANCE: Wobbuffeth's body sports a primary pastel blue that tapers into a lighter version of itself as it approaches his underbelly. It's a trait that is shared by his inner wings, whereupon the membranes are pale and the fingers are not. From where his tail begins, however - as well as his back from the shoulder on - is choking on darker midnight hues. The backs of his wings are slightly lighter echoes of this baleful cobalt. Each prong at his tail's tip is adorned with a small ghostly ice eye with a navy pupil. Similar markings grace the space between each finger at his wings' apex, although these spots appear to be slightly indented. The shadow formed by the sunken patagium give the illusion that the eyes follow those who look upon them. Wobbuffeth is all wing, really - it's just a damned shame that they aren't useful, as the indents make them a liability and prone to failing. Upon the blue's face are jagged indigo lines - one slashing the entirety of his maw and the other two forming sharp, hollow triangles around his eyes.

Wobbuffeth can't exactly fly in the traditional sense. Because of the increased fragility allotted to his wings, this blue can stay in the air for only brief stints and is usually limited to gliding. Mostly, he is tethered to the ground.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: To the outside looking in, Wobbuffeth may appear to be a useless blue who can't fly or do anything decent. To K'ioyo he is ... uh ... charming? He isn't very clever. In fact, Wobbuffeth is a buffoon. He's air-headed and looks before he leaps. His one and only trait is to be as annoying as humanly (dragonly?) possible to everybody and everything around him and be painstakingly oblivious to it. A vacuous extrovert, it gives him the appearance of being bold and brave despite his limitations.

Though it might appear that his skull is a vast and empty void, Wobbuffeth is acutely aware of his surroundings. He is extremely patient with demanding work, and does not rise to the baiting of a fight. Wobbuffeth will never be the one who strikes first and all his actions are retaliatory. To K'ioyo, he is a stalwart companion that, however vocal and ignorant, will never leave her side. And pay no mind to his verbal tic: he screams portions of his name at random intervals when speaking.
