M'KI

BASICS

RETIRE INFO: Retire
NAME: M'kai
GENDER: Male (trans)
PRONOUNS: He/him/his
ORIENTATION: Pansexual

BIRTHDATE: Early spring, 2745
AGE: 21 as of 2766
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Apprentice healer, weyrling
WING: N/a

APPEARANCE
EYES: Black
HAIR: Dark brown
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'8"
PLAY-BY: Art by quibbs
FULL APPEARANCE: Despite the fact that Makai was assigned female at birth, he has a naturally "masculine" appearance, only augmented by the fact that he attempts to present in a traditionally hypermasculine manner. Although slightly short, at 5'8", he has a naturally thick and strong build, masculine and burly, almost like that of a lumberjack. He's a little chunky, but mostly muscular. Makai is dark-skinned and dark-haired, and prefers to wear his hair in a shaggy cut that almost reaches his shoulders. His almond-shaped eyes are dark, appearing black in most light. Despite avoiding finery like the plague, Makai has a strong sense of style, and will balk at needing to wear something that isn't his style. He prefers baggy clothing in neutral, earthy, or dark tones, often with an accent of color, usually red.

Makai's blocky figure has naturally little in the way of curves, and most of what he does have, he's able to hide easily. That said, he has a lot of dysphoria about his form, even if he "passes" relatively well. His facial features include full lips and cheeks, but also a square jawline, thick eyebrows, and a wide nose. Despite Makai's many insecurities, he holds himself as if he were confident, and each step he takes seems assured and deliberate. He's a little clumsy sometimes, and relies more on brute strength than finesse or dexterity. In a fight, Makai is a brawler, with straightforward and easy to predict tactics, but he's more than capable of defending himself.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: masculine, awkward, overwhelmed, rude, rough, fighter, insecure, anxious, angry, rebellious, "moral," stubborn, courageous, rash, destructive, coarse, curses, irritable, heart of gold but it doesn't exactly translate well, loud, sensitive, tough, attention issues, spiteful

Makai's self-identity has a few main components--largely because he is not particularly self-aware. First, Makai knows he's a jerk. Second, he's a fighter--determined and vicious, in physical battle, picking random fights, and life in general. Third, he is very much a man--while he knows he's a man, he's a little worried about facing those who are convinced otherwise, and as a result, has a masculine, even hyper-masculine appearance, attitude, and personality. He certainly conforms rather heavily to masculine stereotypes, and is still trying to figure himself out. Additionally, Makai is a healer. He is also quite arguably one of the worst healers. Sure, he knows the academic stuff, and is willing and able to treat even contagious diseases, but he's also more squeamish than he likes to admit, though only for more serious injuries. He's also very nervous when it comes to saving people's lives, and worries he'll make a mistake, and if he needs to comfort someone...well, that, you can forget about. Finally, he recognizes that he has a wide range of hobbies--healing, singing, and sparring, mostly. He loves getting into fights, and has taught himself a brawling style of fighting.

Makai is less self-aware about the good things about himself. He is often down on himself and has low self-esteem, though he usually acts as if the opposite were the case. As a result, he is easily discouraged, though he rarely acts on this feeling, much preferring to try and try again, no matter how hopeless he may feel about it. Instead, he seems determined to do things--especially if you tell him he's incapable, as he's strongly motivated by spite. Of course, Makai thinks he's a terrible person, but alongside his angry, jerk side, is a kinder side. He's somewhat moral, and while he's never nice, he does care about certain people, and will even do good deeds for strangers...but he's still a dick about it. He'd instantly risk his own life to save someone else, but he won't be nice to them, unless they're in tears...in which case, he'll be sweet, in an awkward sort of way.

Authority is the enemy for a rebel like Makai. He hates being controlled, and while he'll do things if asked (or forced), he'll resent it strongly and balk at the lack of control he has. Of course, he's stubborn, especially when it comes to his values, and although relatively inflexible, there are exceptions. One such value is his belief in honor, and in honorable fights. When it comes to fights and altercations, especially, he's courageous, for sure--but willing to act with a degree of self-preservation. Certainly, he can be a little foolish, rash, and even downright stupid in such situations. He's definitely not a polite or compliant person, in general, and that often gets him into trouble. He's coarse, rough around the edges, and prone to excessive cursing. He's irritable, and very bad at being nice, even if he tries.

Makai has a lot of trouble talking to people--especially if they're attractive. He's a little traditional in how he treats someone he's courting, if he ever gets into such a situation, and is usually old-fashioned around ladies. Additionally, he treats guys, or close friends, with a rough, rude attitude. Still, he sometimes extends this attitude towards others, and if he cares deeply for someone (courting or no!) he's prone to being awkwardly mean. He has a lot of trouble relating to others, and usually comes off as aggressive and angry...and loud. Beneath the anger and rage, he's rather awkward, and as a result, not comfortable with praise at all. That said, there is quite a lot of rage, and he has a violent tendency, but only if violence is agreed upon by both parties. Really, he needs a calming force in his life, and he's often a rude, hateful jerk...but not always. His anger has a hairpin trigger, but he freaks out in other ways, a lot. When he's anxious or irritated, he's prone to verbally lashing out, and is both destructive and self-destructive. Small things can make him very angry, and he's often frustrated at himself, such as for his attention problems. Despite acting so tough, Makai is quite sensitive, and has a lot of anxiety. He is definitely an insecure person, despite acting the way he does.

HISTORY

-Farana, half-sibling, Fort Hold Wherling
-Faralyn, half sibling, Fort Weyr Brownrider
-Rey, basically family, Fort Weyr Bluerider
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Cothold near Fort Hold
HISTORY:Melkaina was deeply in love with Fartoo, when she met him during the war, but in the end, he left her, and he left her with an unborn child. She met him at Fort Weyr, but upon being single and pregnant, she returned to the cothold where she was born, not far from Fort Hold. While tempted to name her child after Fartoo, she eventually settled on the name Makai, when he was born. Originally, everyone--mother included--thought he was a girl, but he always insisted otherwise, and eventually, when he was old enough to transition and articulate this properly, he stepped into a more masculine role, and his family at the cothold accepted that he was a man.

For turns, Melkaina told Makai stories of his father, Fartoo--great stories, of a wonderful, amazing man, who she loved dearly. While Makai loved these stories, and loved the father he'd never met, his mother's teary tales left her so sad that he never pressed for stories. He assumed, for much of his life, that Fartoo was dead. Makai loved his mother dearly, but she was quite scatterbrained, and would often forget about his needs--only giving the bare minimum. Other than her stories, and occasional bouts of affection, he was often on his own, and developed a sort of independence as a result.

From a young age, he had one cousin who was close to him--his best friend, Eloui. She went out of her way to be nice to him. Makai was often sent out of the hold to get supplies from Fort Hold, to keep him busy, even before he became an apprentice. She would often accompany him. He spent much of his free time with Eloui, and if not with her, he'd spend it alone, never quite feeling like he fit in.

As a child, Makai was surprisingly shy and anxious, but as he grew up into a teenager, he became more angry and angsty, and stopped letting people bother him in the way they used to. He became a healer apprentice...but he was really quite terrible at it. His cothold had no healer, so he traveled to the healer hall near Fort Hold to learn. He became an apprentice in '60, at the age of 15, and was unable to apply his learning in practice well. During this time, he got mixed up in the wrong crowd, causing destruction of property. He dated someone at this time, and he felt like he loved the man, but he was eventually broken up with, and his gang of friends ostracized him, so he simply went home.

In Winter 2766, his mother told him that he should go find his father--which surprised him, because he thought his father was dead. She told Makai he likely had some half-siblings, and that she'd met Fartoo at Fort Weyr, and that he was likely there, if anywhere. So, he set out immediately, likely forgetting to tell Eloui or say goodbye, which probably hurt and angered her. (He sent a few letters, but none of them got replies, so he hoped she just didn't get them, yet.)

TORIKOTH
Image

BASICS

NAME: Torikoth
BIRTHDATE Early summer 2767
AGE: 0 as of 2767

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 32ft (above normal)
HEIGHT: 8ft (above normal)
WINGSPAN: 48 ft (above normal)
COLOR: White (M)
HEX CODE: #c6ccd3
FULL APPEARANCE: A large white, Torikoth is a big sweet thing. He looks like he is warm, and soft. And he is, his suede-hide feeling more like crushed velvet. He has an arrow-shaped face and long legs, his body lean and made for long jumps and intricate maneuvers. He is not a very graceful flier, and he refuses to go up into the skies whenever there is lightning, for fear of being struck. He is a soft, blue-gray all over, the color of fog and mist. His wingtips fade to a darker, stormcloud gray, as does his tail. His face markings are a swirl if light gray and dark, marking out his headknobs like horns, and a splash over his cheeks. His markings look like they are etched in stone, making him look like he's less dragon and more of a statue.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Torikoth is much more animalistic than many other dragons. He does not like to speak, preferring to chirp and grown. He is incredibly curious to the point that he might get his head stuck in various places before he learns. He responds well to being petted and pointed in the right direction. He learns very quickly. He enjoys chewing on things, more of an idle sort of action like a canine. He likes playing in puddles, and curling up in warm places. He is adorable, even in his very simple ways. He is a little odd, but he is adorable.

To his rider, Torikoth is very loyal. He likes to help, but he is not very helpful. He will try to make the bed by dragging all the blankets off of it, or that the floor needs to be oiled. He tries. He would be a fine Search dragon, being overall non-threatening and very good with children. He's very gentle, even if he sometimes has clumsy steps and has no problem knocking things over. He's fine with being crawled over and tugged at. He's sweet, and would be a nice babysitter. He's very sweet, honestly he is an adorable white.

When he does speak, Torikoth's voice is young, like a 10-year old boy. He doesn't speak more than a few sentences at a time, and doesn't use a lot of complicated language.

Makai has a heart of gold that Torikoth can see. He may come off as overly sweet to the rougher candidate, but this dragon can tell he's gonna be just fine. The two of them will be just fine.

LORD
Image

BASICS

NAME: Lord
BIRTHDATE Late Winter 2766
AGE: <1 as of 2766

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: Average
HEIGHT: Small
WINGSPAN: Average
COLOR: Bronze (Fire lizard)
HEX CODE: 7c3f00
FULL APPEARANCE: A beautiful, elegant creature, Lord is made up of gentle, elegant features, and few, if any, angles. Almost soft in facial features, with slightly small, duller headknobs, he is nonetheless striking. He's memorable, largely due to his body, which is low to the ground and serpentine in appearance. His little legs are not small enough to give him any difficulty, but they are small enough to make his slender form look longer. His coloring is a light, burnished bronze, with mottling of darker bronzes.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Lord waits for no one. He does things on his own terms, what he wants to, when he wants to. A little impulsive, he doesn't seem to recall that actions have consequences when he's in the moment. He gets quite irritated when things don't happen as he wants them to, or when he wants them to. Can't things just happen on his schedule? He believes in his own abilities and efficiency, but thinks others tend to be a bit lacking, giving him an air of arrogance. His bonded, though, is just as good as him--and a wonderful source of food and precious snuggles, both of which he loves. He will try to be patient with Makai, but even Makai will get some irritation if he's too slow. He's a learner at heart, certainly--Lord wants to know all the things, and unfortunately, he wants to know them now. He's a loud, energetic bronze, eager to try everything at least once. Despite being quite good at doing tasks (if he feels like it), he will never be predictable or reliable, and in addition, is a bit scatterbrained.
