AGE: 27 as of Fall 2767

WING: Healer's

APPEARANCE
EYES: Dark brown
HAIR: Black and curly, worn short
PLAY-BY: Michael B. Jordan
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6'1, muscular but not big
FULL APPEARANCE: Compared to his brother, Naveed, Numann is taller and leaner. He's not a weakling by any means and has muscle aplenty, but his build is more compact. Since he is a tailor, he dresses well. Nothing ostentatious or obnoxious, just well made clothing with a bit of tasteful embellishment here and there. Also unlike Naveed, he is able to grow a beard, which he keeps short and neat. His eyes are surprisingly large and a very dark brown, nearly black in some lights.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Numann is very self-confident. He only be a greenrider, but he's important too and he knows it. He enjoys his work and his friends and his life without worrying himself too much about the grander scheme of things. He's not a slacker per say, but he's not a particularly hard worker either. He does the bare minimum he has to do to get by and otherwise focuses on enjoying his life.

His brother's death has made him a bit of a cynic. He's not cruel, but he's learned that life's unfair, that sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try. He has no interest in politics, as he's learned that all the progressive reforms in the world won't keep him and his family safe. When the leaders are bad, they're terrible and when they're alright? Well they still won't do anything to save you.

He is very protective of his family and his dragon and would never let them get hurt. He's highly distrustful of browns of all draconic species and somewhat suspicious of bronzes and golds as well. He doesn't want them anywhere near Rannath and will make that extremely clear. He dotes on his green and spoils her and clings to the point of codependence. He's lost a brother already. He refuses to watch his dragon hurt too.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother: Manna
Father: Veenumo
Younger Brother: Naveed, Deceased
Adoptive Younger Sister: Nix
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: High Reaches Weyr
HISTORY: Golre's High Reaches was the first home Numann ever knew. He didn't have it as bad as most, as the oldest son of two tanners, with a younger brother and adoptive sister growing up besides him. But it was still bad. Resources were limited, war was a constant risk and people who screwed up one too many times or pissed off the wrong person? Well sometimes they just disappeared. And everyone knew what had happened to them. Even if nobody said it.

He entered Tailorcraft as soon as he was old enough, to avoid being forced into Candidacy. His siblings did the same, choosing Weaving and Baking respectively. And then, a bit before Numann received his journeyman's knots, the unthinkable happened. Golre died. And the weyr was free. Their old enemy, Fort, was now their ally. And it seemed to Numann, everything was looking up.

And then his brother became a candidate. He objected, the same as the rest of his family, but came to support him when he realized he didn't feel forced or pressured. Naveed just wanted to be a part of something bigger than himself. Numann could understand that. When his brother's second Hatching came, Numann stood there, besides his sister and parents, ready to welcome a new member into their family. Instead, they watched Naveed die, killed deliberately by a vicious brown, whose new rider just smiled.

That was when he realized nothing had really changed. That it didn't matter who was in charge. Nothing mattered. Because it could all be taken away, just like that. He stopped putting in extra hours at his craft. Went back to staying as far from dragons as he could manage. And to lavishing his sister with as much love and care as he could. Because she was right about dragons, about all of it. But it didn't matter. Because nothing she said would ever do any good.

UPDATES

• Summer 2766- The new weyrleader and flightleader of High Reaches claim Nix is their long lost sister. Numann and his family flee to Fort to protect her. Soon after, Numann Impresses green Rannath from the sands. His sister no longer wants anything to do with him.

RANNATH

Don't be afraid. I'm here now. You don't have to hurt anymore

BASICS
NAME: Rannath
BIRTHDATE: Early Summer 2766
AGE: 1 as of Fall 2767

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: NO
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 2

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 25 ft
HEIGHT: 7.5 ft
WINGSPAN: 47 ft
COLOR: Green
HEX CODE: #2b6328
FULL APPEARANCE: Rannath will never lose the delicacy she had as a hatchling; even as an adult, she will tread lightly upon the ground, as if at any moment an errant breeze might pick her up and catch her away into the skies, or if you might look at the grass she's just walked on and find no footprints there. She is distinctly fae, in an immutable sort of way, so that even were she to do something so clumsy as to, say, trip and fall into a mud puddle, she would still seem to have done it with a gracefulness only songs are generous enough to give to fire-lizards and dragons.

This ethereal sort of appearance is further emphasized by her coloration. Rannath looks as if she would be the most at home in the deep forest, when the mists of the evening drift into the copses and veils. Deep emerald green in tone, Rannath is marked with veils of a lighter, almost pastel stippling, so fine as to look as if fog and light are playing across her darker coloration. Unusually, she seems to neither darken nor fade in the sun, looking always as if you have just caught a glimpse of the forest under the light of the full moons.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Rannath is sweetness embodied. She is soft in all ways, from her gentle approach of others to her views of the world in general. She believes in soothing and healing, be it a physical wound or an emotional one; she will go far with empathy and compassion to help those in need. Despite her small stature, she has a big heart. She abhors violence, and will go to all lengths to prevent it if at all possible. If violence is absolutely necessary, she will go out of her way to incapacitate someone - for her, death is never an option with the exception of thread itself.

When she speaks, others listen. Her words are full of wisdom, and she lures people into a sense of quiet that leaves them thoughtful and introspective. She is open minded, willing to listen to what others have to say in turn; but there is something about the tone of her voice that causes people to pause, even if for a moment. Even from a young age, she will find her footing as one to give sage advice and find alternative solutions to troubling problems. She is extremely thoughtful herself, and will often reach out to others to learn of their views and opinions to expand her own horizons. Truly, a blessing to all those around her and the weyr as a whole.

Voice: Low and sweet, her voice soothes and calms all those around her.

Why me?: I think she will gentle the ache in his heart with time and give him something beautiful to treasure.
