F'lin of Green Eraelth

F'LIN
Image

BASICS

NAME: F'lin
GENDER: Demiboy
PRONOUNS: Defaults to he/him/his but any are fine
ORIENTATION: Demiromantic pansexual with a preference for men

BIRTHDATE: Late summer 2754
AGE: 21 as of 2775
LOCATION: Semaca Weyr
OCCUPATION: Greenrider, Healer's assistant
WING: Healer's Wing

APPEARANCE
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Black
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'10, slender
PLAY-BY: Cillian Murphy
FULL APPEARANCE: Fillin has prominent cheekbones and a strong jaw. He keeps his hair messy and at around ear-length. He tends to have an unfocused look to his eyes because his eyesight is extremely poor and he can't make out anything other than vague blobs of color. There's usually the ghost of a smile on his face, and coupled with his unfocused eyes gives him a dreamy expression. He has pale skin that burns rather than tans.

He tends to drape himself over furniture rather than sit in it, and as long as he's got his walking stick, there's a bit of a swagger to his stride. He tends to wear clothes in solid, bright colors, and doesn't seem to notice when they're crumpled or stained. Despite this odd oversight, he tends to dress fairly stylishly, preferring layers to help compensate for how lanky he is.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Filln is fairly easy-going, sometimes too much so. He'd rather laugh things off than get upset over them, and he can find the humor in almost any situation. Once he's comfortable around people, he can also be a little mischievous, and though he's mostly grown out of more elaborate pranks, he's still been known to play them on people from time to time. At his core, though, he's got a big heart and will go out of his way to help people he cares about the most.

His easy-going nature and sense of humor can make people see him as irresponsible and like he's not taking things seriously. It's been known to get him into trouble, particularly with more straight-laced authority figures. This isn't helped by the fact that as the baby of his family, he was used to getting away with a lot more and not having to do as much work, so he can be fairly lazy, especially if the task he's been assigned is obvious busywork. He's not above guilting people or playing up his poor vision to get out of doing things. Ironically, he's not good at sitting still or having idle time, and if he has no task he thinks is worthwhile, that's when he tends to find some mischief to get into. He absolutely hates being confined.

When he's got his walking stick and his brown firelizard Rusty, Fillin's as confident as any other 20 year old. On the rare occasions when he can't have both with him, he becomes a lot more withdrawn and tentative, as more of his attention has to go towards navigating a space that he can't see in any detail.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother - a Journeyman Healer who typically serviced smaller Holds
Father - a Journeyman Farmer who typically serviced smaller Holds
Several siblings who went on to become apprentice craftspeople of one kind or another
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None (yet)
BIRTHPLACE: Some small hold Fillin's forgotten the name of
HISTORY:
Fillin's parents were a pair of Journeymen who serviced small Holds around Pern. As such, they ended up moving around a lot. Fillin got used to meeting new people, and rather than find that daunting, he saw it as an opportunity to make friends all over Pern from all walks of life. As the youngest, his parents ended up letting him get away with a lot more than his older siblings. His education was spotty, and tended to focus on the things his parents and siblings were most passionate about rather than ensuring he had necessary skills. He's literate and can do basic sums, but he's better with practical skills than academic ones.

At a young age, Fillin's eyesight began to deteriorate. It wasn't too surprising - he had a great uncle who'd had a similar problem, his vision steadily getting worse and worse until he could only see vague blobs of color and no detail. The same thing happened to Fillin, and rather than let it turn him bitter, he just learned to compensate. It helped that he was surrounded by the love and support of his family. They were the ones who ensured he got a firelizard to help him navigate and avoid danger. They also insisted he carry a walking stick with him to help him test the ground. He got pretty good at using it for other things too, like knocking things off high shelves, banging it to get people's attention, and defending himself with it.

One by one, Fillin's older siblings all left to learn crafts, until it was just Fillin and his parents. While they knew their son was capable, as craftsmen, they weren't quite sure what to encourage him to do with his life given that his vision was so poor. The choice was eventually made for them when one day Fillin was walking over uneven ground and fell down a ravine, breaking his arm and several bones in Rusty's tail because of how they landed. Fillin's parents realized it would be safer for Fillin to live in one stable location rather than risk a similar injury happening during a thread fall. They sent him to Semaca Weyr, mostly at his own insistence because what 20 year old doesn't want an adventure, bad eyesight or no?

UPDATE:
  • Late Fall 2774 = Impressed to green Eraelth in late fall 2774
  • Joined the Healer's wing upon graduation
  • Summer 2776 = Classmate Kaladin lost a leg in threadfall. F'lin & Eraelth comforted the pair during recovery
  • Late Summer 2776 = Eraelth caught garnet Ajahth & sired the Charters clutch

RUSTY
Image

BASICS

NAME: Rusty
BIRTHDATE Fall 2765
AGE: 10 as of 2775

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Brown
FULL APPEARANCE: Rusty is a chubby, dull reddish-brown firelizard. He has darker brown speckles down his back. His tail can't straighten out fully due to it being broken and badly set a little over a year ago.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Rusty is absolutely devoted to his human, and very diligent in his job to help Fillin get around safely. He's always perched on Fillin's shoulder or else flying just ahead or above him, on the lookout for danger. He's a very serious creature, and a bit shy as well, only accepting food and affection from his own human.

ERAELTH
Image

BASICS

NAME: Eraelth
BIRTHDATE Late Fall 2774
AGE: 1 as of 2775

CLUTCHING
CLUTCHING: NO
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 3

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 28 ft
HEIGHT: 7.25 ft
WINGSPAN: 45 ft
COLOR: Green
HEX CODE: #004f18
FULL APPEARANCE: Eraelth is a lean, wiry green, about average in length. She's stronger than she looks and more muscular than is obvious at first glance. In the air, Eraelth is fast and agile, capable of explosive bursts of speed and hairsbreadth turns. Eraelth's hide is a rich, eye-catching shade of emerald, streaked across the top of her back and head with streaks of a paler color, like one of Semaca's many lizards. The tips of her wings are a brighter green. Her body language is generally informal and she's prone to slouching.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: From hatching, Eraelth is a cynical, disillusioned dragon, who uses sarcasm to deflect from the things that make her uncomfortable. She values freedom highly and wants to do what she thinks is best, how she thinks is best, even if it goes against the weyr's rules or traditions. She has little trust in weyr leadership to look after her interests. If ordered to do something she disagrees with, she'll put in a token effort at best and may even wander off altogether, if no one stops her. She'll take the consequences and punishments in stride, as she doesn't particularly mind others' disapproval. Eraelth can be selfish and doesn't particularly care if her actions interfere with the rest of her class or wing's efforts. The best way to convince her to cooperate is to show her it's in her or her rider's self-interest, or the interest of someone else they care about, to play along. Deep down, she has a good heart and she wants to help the people who need her most and will rise to the occasion when needed, but she isn't willing to put herself in harm's way for the sake of glory or someone else's idealism. She's not at all patriotic and will be deeply skeptically of any jingoistic speeches. She wants to live as happy and mundane a life as a dragon can and dreams of spending her days somewhere peaceful and safe, with her rider besides her. What some dragons might call boring she calls freedom. She places a high value on her ability to choose her own future and will resist any attempts to mold her into a traditional fighting dragon.

Eraelth finds it wrong and immoral that at other weyrs, dragons have no choice but to risk their lives fighting thread. She understands that Pern must be protected, but believes deeply that everyone, including dragons, deserves to have a choice. She herself has little interest in the more combat-oriented wings. Given the choice, she thinks she'd like to help the Healers, but she wants to work with her rider to find something that makes them both happy. It takes her time to warm up to people, even her rider. She'll do her best to look after them, because they are hers and they matter, but her trust has to be earned. If her rider attempts to control her too heavily, she'll bristle and fight back. She wants to be a team, to make their choices together, for better or worse, not to just be dragged along on her rider's journey. She does have a sweeter and more caring side- it just takes time to see. What friends she does make are deeply important to her and her little family is her first priority. She'll take losses hard and will blame whoever was in charge at the time- believing they should have done more to protect their people and dragons. When Eraelth rises, she is exclusively interested in female chasers. She'll happily chase herself, if the rising female is open to it.

Voice: Eraelth sounds like a young woman. Her voice is often dry and a bit snarky.

Why Me?: Fillin asked Eraelth to give the world a chance. She decided to bring him along for the ride. She trusts him to let her be free.
