Character:
Name: R’tel
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Occupation: Weyrling
Description: Gangly and awkward, R’tel is all knees and elbows. He recently hit a growth spurt and while he appreciates his height, it’s made him even more clumsy than normal. Pretty is a very good word to describe R’tel, and one that he’s heard a lot. With his blonde hair, tan skin, green eyes, and smooth face he could even be described as girlie. Which, of course, he hates. He keeps his hair shaved close to his head but it does little to hide the fact that he is a very feminine looking boy with soft lips and long eyelashes. Weyrling training defined his muscles but added little bulk. He likes to wear open-throated tunics to show off the scattering of chest hair that (he thinks) makes him look manly. He wishes he could grow a beard and has fallen for many a snake-oil promising to give him facial hair. His wardrobe consists of dark green trousers and white or cream tunics. Pastels are not tolerated in his weyr and he’d rather go naked than wear purple.
Personality: Despite his two Turns as a dragonrider, R’tel is still trying to come to terms with himself. Still wanting to prove himself to be a traditional, masculine man, he has a tendency to be defensive and aggressive. He respects older, authoritative women but dismisses girls his own age, assuming he knows better. He’s critical of what he calls ‘girlie-boy’ behavior and frequently makes rude remarks about effeminate men. Being held back from the fighting wings does not help and has only added to his frustration.
Under his prickliness, R’tel does have a soft side, in a way. Once he makes a friend he is loyal to a fault. He can be very thoughtful, remembering someone’s favorite food or bringing friends trinkets from different places. He may be begrudging and act put-upon, but R’tel hates to disappoint people and has a hard time saying ‘no’ when asked for a favor. He likes children and weyrbrats quickly realize he's mostly bark and very little bite.
History: Relatel grew up in a less-than-fully sanctioned logging camp along the Honshu river in the Southern jungle. Logging is dangerous enough work on its own but once the Pass began it became even more deadly. Thread burrows were common, and since the area was ‘uninhabited’ the wings were more lax about checking the ground. It was a very rough and tumble world, attracting men who didn’t want questions about their past and who might have to take off in the middle of the night. A journeyman harper would come by occasionally if he felt up to the trip, and the logs would be floated down river to the sea several times a Turn, but it was a very isolated place. The whole camp was stunned when a pair of Southern Searchdragons landed and took off with an older boy with a Keroon accent and almost thirteen Turn old Relatel.
Practically going from the Searchdragon’s neck to the Hatching Sands, Relatel was stunned to find himself Impressed, and to a green to boot. He never questioned the rightness of Ineth for him; he was extremely ill-prepared for the all consuming bond that came with her. They had difficulties through almost every stage of weyrling training. Craving privacy R’tel would block her out, causing Ineth to panic and throw the entire class into an uproar. She would push against him, demanding more food, not wanting to participate in practical lessons and being clingy and needy. Things finally got better after their first paired flight. Something clicked for both of them and they worked together after that.
Once their bond was sealed by the flight, they began to excel at flying. With her small size Ineth was an acrobat in the air, completing loops and hair-pin turns with ease. While they did well in drills, R’tel’s attitude earned him latrine duty after latrine duty for insolence and disrespect. The pair survived their first Fall without injury and graduated without being tapped into a wing. The only one in the class too young to be held back, R’tel tried not to see it as a personal insult. He hated seeing pairs he knew were worse than Ineth and him getting to really fight Thread while he was stuck ferrying firestone.
Stuck carrying messages and drilling with the weyrling wing, R’tel’s frustration finally bubbled over. He said the wrong things to the wrong person, who turned out to be a goldrider’s beloved baby brother, and soon found himself shipped off to Cerulean. He arrived in the new Weyr with a bag of possessions and a glowing, if not entirely truthful, letter from the Weyrlingmaster about how good of an addition Ineth and R’tel would be to the Weyr.
Fun Facts: Ever since learning to read as a weyrling, R’tel loves to read. During his down time he can be found in the library, curled up with a book on any subject. He copies out passages he likes and reads things outloud to Ineth.
Bonded Critter(s):
Type: Dragon
Name: Ineth
Color: Green
Age: 2 Turns
Description: Ineth is small and compact, and is an agile sprinter. She tires easily and sleeps most of the day after a ‘Fall. She’s bright grass green with lighter patches under her wings and stomach. An ugly Threadscore scar twists across her back right leg, a reminder from one of their first ‘Falls. Ineth is fidgety, constantly rustling her wings, flicking her tail and tossing her head. Even in her sleep the tip of her tail will twitch, mirroring something in her dreams.
Personality: Ineth is a noisy dragon, both mentally and physically. She chatters to R’tel, to other dragons, and often to other people. She trills, chirps, warbles and can even whinny like a runnerbeast. Ineth is airheaded, having a bad memory even for a green. She’s prone to hysterics and is a complete hypochondriac about herself and R’tel.
Despite her ditziness, or perhaps because of it, Ineth is a ferocious Threadfighter. Fearless to the point of carelessness, R’tel has to rein her in and remind her that their job is delivering firestone, not actively fighting. She’s equally vicious during her Flights, lashing out at chasers that come too close before she’s ready.
Fun Facts: She shows some promise as a Searchdragon, although none of the candidates she has picked out on her own have Impressed yet.
