TAI'N
Name: Tai'n
Gender: Male
Age: 17 turns
Birthdate (Season): Spring
Location: Alietran Weyr
Rank: Weyrling
Wing (if applicable):
Family:
*they are actually friends, they all are weyrbrats/don't know their parents*
Kierah-Sister (Harper)
Freya-Sister (Candidate)
Alyara-Sister (Green Rider)
N'kron-brother (Brown Rider)
Physical Appearance:
Tai's face is a bit elongated with a proud jaw and nose. The boy still is growing into himself a bit, so, the face still holds some childish features to it. It's youthful and seems soft and somewhat delicate. On high cheek bones are dark eyes that are a chocolate color. The nose between them is without freckles, and the entire complexion is even and milky. However, it's not quite a pale color either. His hair is a bit messy, however Tai does his best to keep it looking nice. It sweeps in front of his eyes and is the same dark color as his eyes. Often the ends curl on themselves a bit as well.
Being at 6ft 2inches, Tai is on the taller side of boys. This is a bit strange though since in his face he seems to not have grown entirely. Tai's form is lanky with a long torso and legs that make up his majority. Although he is thin, Tai is actually fairly strong with wiry muscles that don't tire as easily as some may believe. He's also quick on his feet, and has nimble fingers from weaving for so many turns.
Tai often walks through the world as if he's just another part of it. He hates to draw attention to himself, so he keeps his eyes down on the ground and draws in on himself. When sitting or laying around though, he is the utter embodiment of the word relaxation. Or at least, that is what he tries to be.
Tai talks in a soft tenor. He hates to raise his voice too much, however when it is needed it can be well heard across the room. Another thing that he holds dear is that Tai's voice is not bad for singing. However, the only time he sings is with his firelizards.
Tai tends to wear crisp shirts of light cream or white colors. Occasionaly a blue or green will be thrown in to the mixture though. Over these shirts he wears vests of gray, black or brown. These normally have a pocket or two where he can store odd tidbits he may need throughout the day. Along with these clothes, Tai also wears working pants that are often patched up. These patches are done by Tai himself, and in fact most of his clothes are from his own hand.
Personality:
Tai is in a word, a gentle soul. He hates fighting, and if he ever does have to stand up for himself, it's usually through words. An empathetic person, Tai makes friends easily with lots of people, if only they give him the chance. He always tries to think of what the other person would want, or needs before he thinks of himself. This selfless attitude isn't always the best for him though. He tends to be an easy target for any bully because he hates to fight back.
Besides being gentle and selfless, Tai is also attentive to everything he meets. He will look after those who are hurt or upset before he even gives a thought to his own feelings or injuries. It's not in his nature to be selfish or selfserving. Tai also listens whenever someone wants to talk about their problems. Unlike some who would only nod their head and half-pay attention, Tai gives his everything to the talker.
Tai's also a social creature. He prefers company to being alone. However, if he must be alone, he can find ways to be happy. When in a large group, Tai enjoys being a follower, but seldom takes charge. The only time when he will take charge and be a leader is when no one else will and it is vital a leader is present. In these cases, Tai has actually proven to be not bad at his job.
When it comes to flirting, Tai is absolutely clueless. He can't ever tell when someone is being subtle around him, and if they are being obvious, Tai idoesn't know how to react. If the flirting is on his side, Tai normallyr is too worried about being too obvious, that he either keep his mouth shut, or ends up "hitting them over the head." Furthermore, even though Tai secretly likes men as well as women, he will never purposefully flirt with one.
This is because Tai is very worried that he won't be accepted if he comes out. Though all sexualities are found in a Weyr, Tai has spent so much of his life acting straight, that the idea of changing also outright scares him. He fears how others would view him, and even more how he would come to view himself. Because he is in such denial, this is also one of Tai's touchy spots. If anyone tries to mention the subject, Tai will withdraw.
Other than these personality traits, Tai also has a sense of loyalty and morals. He lives life a certain way and doesn't falter on his beliefs or typical reations. He hates fighting, and as such would have a difficult time defending himself or anyone else.
History: (At least one paragraph)
Being a weyrbrat, Tai never knew his real parents. In fact, out of all his "siblings", only Freya ever met her mother. That even was only once. It didn't seem to phase the quintet though. The five weyrbrats just continued on their way and became ever closer. There names, from youngest to oldest, were Taikin, Nikron, Alyara, Freya and Kierah. As the youngest, Tai was always the watched one. The others never let the boy out of their site to be honest, and this little fact didn't worry Tai in the least.
The boy actually liked company and would rather being followed around then to be alone. Knowing this, at least one of his siblings would always be there, and still are. It was at the age of 8 that the siblings started to grow apart. Kierah was first, always being a harper at heart, the girl soon left to learn her trade. Next was N'kron and Alyara. Both became riders, Alyara of green Avirith and N'kron of Brown Ildardeth. Soon, it was just Freya and Tai left in the weyrbrats' weyr.
It became a lonely life and the only thing that seemed to keep them all together anymore were the firelizards they each impressed 4 turns before Tai and Freya became candidates. Being of dragonrider blood, there was always a place on the sands for them. Freya had tried for turns as well as Tai, but nothing ever came for the two "siblings". As the green's clutch hardens though, the two wonder. Is it in this strange turn of events that their bonded waits?
It was at that hatching that Tai met his future partner...
The blue had seemed altogether unimpressed with his red sibling, but he continued to stalk between the remaining eggs as though he was impatient to see what was inside them, ignoring the candidates entirely.
Finally, a dark green snout broke through the white shell of the Magic Mirror Egg, and before long, the hatchling had pulled herself out of her shell. She was a small green, but pretty, with a deep green hide and darker marks on her legs and tail. She eyed her blue sibling with a cold glare before settling down on the sands to nose at the remains of her shell, pushing the pieces around with her snout.
While she was busy, another egg began to hatch. This time it was the Shuddering Egg, which had taken up its habitual shaking at the start of the hatching and hadn't stopped since. The egg shell finally seemed to fall apart around the dragon, rather than cracking open in just one spot. Where the Shuddering Egg had lain, there was now a lanky, pale blue hatchling, marked with speckles similar to those that had filled his egg's surface.
The blue staggered to his feet, nearly tripping over his overly-long legs, and with a happy hum turned his gaze to the object of his affection. No, not his rider. His gaze was fastened on his pretty green sister, and he went over to join her with a flirtatious flick of his tail.
The green had no time for his nonsense, however. She had finished pushing the shards of her egg shell into one neat pile where they'd be out of her way. At the blue's approach, she looked up warily and eyed the blue with suspicion clear in her eyes. After putting up with a bit of his clumsy flirting, she snorted and rebuffed him with a butt of her head.
The blue squealed, and backed away--right into the jaws of his larger brother, who snapped at him with playful malice. The bite didn't break skin, but it still made the smaller, brighter blue creel in surprise, and he turned to his brother with sad, whirling eyes. Why did he have to go be such a bully? He wanted to be friends! Or flirt, that was nice too. It was a pity his other sister had already found Hers, he would have liked to flirt with her as well...
The green had watched the mini-fight between the two blues without intervening, but once the dark blue decided to try intimidating her as well, she had had enough. He stood looming over her, trying to impress her with his bulk, but she was not impressed. Ignoring him was the best option for now, so she turned her attention towards the candidates, looking closely at each of them while she made a decision.
Having been spurned by both his siblings now, the blue also turned his attention at last to the candidates. Maybe one of them would be his friend? He minced and stumbled his way to the boys, and crooned as he looked at Taikin. Ah, there you are! Would you please feed your Braith, Tai'n? Then we can go meet my other sister, and maybe make some friends. That sounds nice, doesn't it?
BRAITH
Color: Blue (81BEED)
Size: 32' long at full growth
Appearance:
Braith may be a bit on the small side for a blue, but he has a long, lanky body that makes him seem bigger than he is. He has a sky blue hide liberally speckled with paler blue over his entire body, but no other distinguishing markings.
Personality:
A bit lazy and quite laid-back, that doesn't stop him from being impatient and quite jittery when looking forward to something, often flexing his tail and wings and knocking things over as a result. Braith would rather sit back and relax or play games than work at any given moment, but he's quick enough to follow orders. He is generally friendly and easy-going, not one who is easily upset. He tends to be quiet and a little shy of humans, though he's friendly with other dragons. Sometimes a little too friendly, maybe. He is a hopeless flirt and as amorous as a stereotypical green when it comes to females.
He is not exactly the brightest dragon and it sometimes takes him a while to get the hang of things. He gets confused easily, and when he's confused, he gets clumsy. Braith does not seem to know what fear is. Any threats to him or his rider will more likely than not go straight over his head, mistaking the attention for friendliness or play. His bravery comes more from a lack of understanding the consequences than anything else.
Mind Voice:
Hey, easy there Tai'nMine. Don't get too worked up. Things will be okay, I promise!
Gentle and easy going, Braith's voice is like waves. It's soothing to hear and can make one relax. However when he becomes angry or excited, it can get harsh and uneasy.

Name: Magpie
Rank: Blue
Size: 8in.
Color Codes:
Body: 40E0D0
Claws: 4682B4
Egg: Starlit Ocean Egg
Impresses: Tia'n
Appearance:
He is a beautiful, solid, turquoise in color. The only part of him that is different, is his steel blue claws. He is a very large blue, but actually looks very well put together...from a distance anyways. Once a person takes a closer look at this large flit, they will notice that his claws are too big for his body. Though they don't get in his way when he's walking, they do make him look a little funny.
Personality:
He loves to have a good time, but that often gets him in trouble. He likes to fly off by himself, and explore his surroundings. He usually has a pretty good attitude, but can be extremely evil when he's upset. It isn't hard to make this little flit happy, and it's just as easy to upset him. Often times when he flies off by himself he brings back "special" things he finds on his flights, and normally these things are stolen property.

That sucks.
