Character Description

[/b]
Arlan is beginning to move out of the awkward turns of being a young teen and into a more mature look, although he still has some growing up to do. His face still looks very young, but that's something he may never grow out of. He is on the short side, standing at around five and a half feet, and he hasn't yet gained a more adult build. He has wide, dark brown eyes and reddish-brown hair that he wears at around chin length. He usually wears plain, practical clothing, especially when working in the infirmary. But he has no objections to dressing up for a feast or a Gather. [/td][/tr]
[tr][td][cs=4]

Character Personality

[/b]
Arlan has a very laid back personality. He is an optimist, and he doesn't believe in getting upset over the little things. It is very difficult to rile this young man's temper, and he seems to have patience beyond his years. Maybe it comes from working in the infirmary, where he has been an apprentice for the past for turns. Working with the sick and injured forced him to mature quickly.

He is friendly and outgoing, although he does tend to get a little nervous in big crowds. Arlan is always willing to talk to someone new and make them feel welcome. He especially enjoys meeting people from outside the Weyr and learning more about their life in the Hold or Hall. Unlike some other weyrbrats, he is not prejudiced against Holdfolk. Really, Arlan isn't prejudiced against anyone. One of his best traits is his acceptance of everyone. This trait sometimes borders on naive, however, and his trusting nature can get him into trouble. Having grown up in a Weyr, and the "outcast" Weyr at that, Arlan also has a liberal outlook on most things. He doesn't blink an eye at the diverse sexuality found in a Weyr, and he's getting old enough now to start experimenting with it himself. He hasn't completely figured it out yet, but he isn't too concerned.

In addition to helping inside the Infirmary, Arlan has also been cultivating the Weyr's medicinal garden. Spending time in the garden is his way to relax and take some time to think. [/td][/tr]

Character History

[/b]
Arlan was born right here in the Weyrhold. His conception was the result of a Flight. The Greenrider, Awema, had always wanted children, and she decided to carry the pregnancy to term. L'tor, the Bluerider , was looking forward to being a father--especially because he never would have a chance outside of Flight, since he preferred men. Arlan was raised in the creche like most weyrbrats, but his parents visited when they could. His birth parents were more like the aunt and uncle who spoiled him, while the creche mother really raised him.

He discovered a passion for the Healer Craft at an early age. Arlan started working with the Weyrhealer at the age of twelve, and he has been an apprentice ever since.

Dragon Description

[/b]
Ralaikoth is the typical sized green. Neither lithe nor overly muscular; she's just the right size. From her nose to her tail, she's perfectly shaped. Her color is somewhere close to lime green but it has it's own variance for her. The front of her muszzle is a dark green color as is her entire tail. The edges of her wing membranes start with that dark color and gradually lighten to the same color as the rest of her form. Across her toes is an unusual shade of green that might almost be considered yellowish or maybe close to brown; there are other spots of that color across her hide but it seems to be there to perfectly accent her natural form.
In the air, Ralaikoth is fast and capable. She often goes to prove that she is far beyond the other dragons in her Wing. Sometimes, she'll over stress herself but never to the point of harming herself or those she is close to.

Dragon Personality

[/b]
Ralaikoth is a green who knows one thing and one thing only. She is better then everyone else. She may not be a gold but who says that only golds are the important girls in a Weyr? It doesn't matter that golds are Queen dragons, Ralaikoth prefers being a princess anyway. Those are always so much prettier and just plain better anyway. Ralaikoth knows that a Gold generally gets more sway in the Weyr but that doesn't mean she's going to simply lay down and take it. If someone cannot accept the fact that Ralaikoth is better then every one else, then she will just have to prove it and rub their faces in it. She's not trying to be mean, she's just trying to ensure people are aware of where everyone's place in the world.
The only exception are those people she feels are her equals. Generally, it's only her rider that fits into that category but there are a few dragons that she will treat with the same deference. These friends of her's are just as important and awesome as she is. Should someone attempt to call them unworthy then Ralaikoth will prove that they are far better and far more important. She'll even disobey orders to prove her point. Well, unless those orders are from her's of course.

Character Description

[/b]
L'rel is tall and slender, with a thin build which belies the limber strength dragonriding has brought him. He isn't scrawny, just thin, but some of his movements reveal that some of the gawkiness he possessed in younger years still hasn't left him. He has a pale complexion, and rather than developing a tan when he spends too much time in the sun, he gets freckles. In the summer, the pale freckles that are barely noticeable in the winter cover his face and arms. He has dark brown hair and keeps the straight locks short, as a good dragonrider should. His eyes, one of his best features, are a very light blue. L'rel puts little thought into his dress and wears practical clothing, usually in neutral colors. [/td][/tr]
[tr][td][cs=4]

Character Personality

[/b]
L'rel is a hard worker. He is very dependable and he will always do whatever is asked of him. He has great respect for anyone who ranks him, and he never disobeys orders, making him an ideal "yes man." Unfortunately, some people will try to take advantage of this quiet, unassuming Bluerider, and he will rarely call anyone out on it. He is shy at heart and dislikes drawing attention to himself, so he would never want to start a dispute.

Those who look beyond his dependable exterior will find a loyal and caring friend, someone who will always be there in times of trouble. He is eager to give second (or third) chances in most cases, and he tries hard not to judge his friends.In reality he has little to worry about, for the friends he chooses are usually quiet and reserved like he is. They are often brown or blue riders like himself, or weyrfolk--he is nervous around metallic riders, and because of past experiences, he has a mistrust for green riders, although he would never mention it out loud or be rude to one of them. L'rel has a soft spot in general for the weak and helpless, and he has a great fondness for children and animals.

He hardly seems like the type of outcast to transfer to Cepju, but he wanted to leave his sordid affair behind. So many people were transferring to Cepju anyway, and he decided that it sounded like an interesting place to go. He's not really a doomsayer, but he won't dispute any Wingleader who tells him that Thread is coming back. [/td][/tr]

Character History

[/b]
L'rel, originally named Lyirel, was born in Fort Weyr. He was the result of a one-time fling between a kitchen worker and a bronzerider, and neither of his true parents paid much attention to him. He was raised communally in the creche. Lyirel always knew that he would be a rider, and he stayed focused on his goal. Somehow he thought that good behavior as a child would make him a better candidate later on, and he rarely acted up. He was known as a good two-shoes and often antagonized by the other children, but little Lyirel didn't complain, at least not out loud.

He started Standing at age fourteen, and Impressed a turn later to Blue Criseth, a shy, nervous little blue who needed a lot of encouragement throughout training. L'rel went from goody-two-shoes to class pet. He was always on time, and followed the rules. Towards the end of training, it became clear that Criseth had a talent for finding candidates. After graduation, L'rel became a Searchrider.

Everything was fine until L'rel met a Greenrider, V'dron, a recent transfer from Igen. The pair started seeing more and more of each other. L'rel fell hard, and he was infatuated with V'dron for about a turn. Then, he found out that V'dron had been cheating on him the whole time. L'rel was devastated. Cepju seemed like the perfect way to forget his mistake and get focused on his work again. [/td][/tr]

Dragon Description

[/b]
Criseth is a small Blue, with the perfect build designed for agility. Despite his small size, he is very well proportioned, and from his gleaming hide it is clear that he is very well cared for. His hide is a deep royal blue, darkening further to a near-black shade on his paws and the tip of his nose. [/td][/tr]
[tr][td][cs=4]

Dragon Personality

[/b]
Criseth tends to be a worrywart. He over-thinks, and he is always waiting for the next thing to go wrong. He needs encouragement from his rider, who can remind him to calm down and enjoy life. He does pick up on feelings very easily, which may be why he is so emotional himself. His empathetic side comes out in his Search talent. Criseth enjoys finding candidates, even if he does worry about them terribly afterwards. [/td][/tr]
