Name: J'deryk (Jalderyk)
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Sexual Preference: Likes girls
Rank: Weyrling
Appearance: Height: 6'. Eyes: gray, with gold flecks. Hair: honey-brown and fine; a loose mop of curls just below his jawline. Skin: tawny, with a dusting of freckles across his nose. Build: think professional swimmer - long and lean with smooth muscles starting to develop at the end of adolescence.
Personality: Two words best describe Jalderyk: over and achiever. He was nearly tapped for Harper training because of his quick ability to learn and uncanny knack for anticipating what his teachers want of him, then doing it almost before asked. He delights in all new things and throws himself headling into fresh challenges--often without first pausing to consider the consequences. A fierce competitor, Jalderyk is also gracious about both winning and losing. When he does lose, though, be sure he'll put all his considerable energy into figuring out how to win next time.
History: Jalderyk hails from a small farmhold in the low, sparsely populated hills above Tregad Hold. His parents, three brothers, and two sisters are hardworking Pernese in the very best of Charter tradition. Their holding prospers, such as it can, with its ovines always bringing a fair price at Gathers for milk, meat, and wool. The family lives in isolation, visited only a few times a Turn by traders and the local Harper. In short, Jalderyk is a simple shepherd's son, who happens to be possessed of an extraordinarily keen intelligence and high drive. Jalderyk was Searched, to his complete surprise, when a green sweeprider from Kharasi spotted him trying to protect a dozen of his ovine charges from a flock of hungry wherries, out in the hills. She circled in to help, and Jalderyk found himself the object of intense regard by the green dragon.
Family: Father Jalabert; mother Rykla; brothers Beryk, Ryber, and Trebyk; sisters Alakla, Leba.
Dragon: blue Colieth (Impressed October 28, 2007) from Wispy Cloud Egg (#21).
All text in italics was written by Nako.This is a pretty nondescript egg compared to most. Blue and white swirl together to make the illusion of whispy clouds on a backdrop of blue sky. Because of the generic 'theming' this egg might get little attention from candidates, but the mother queen doesn't show such preference, and it is rolled, moved around and coddled as much as any egg.Appearance:
This egg had been rocking violently for the last minute now, and it was about time that the tiny cracks in the shell finally gave way. The little creatures within exploded forth with such momentum that he ran headfirst into another egg! Stunned, he stumbled backwards, losing balance and falling over on his side. This caused a worried murmur. He had hit pretty hard.... But luckily he righted himself, shaking his head and looking around, the focus points of his facets whirling in odd directions as he tried to refocuse the world. He was a pretty little blue, small in size, but of pretty good proportion for a hatchling. His hide seemed a light blue, but if one looked closer they could see a slightly darker 'saddle' upon his back, along with a mask upon his face. On top of this would be even darker mottled splotches.. seeming to mimick the merle coloring of certain breeds of canines...
Size: Small, but very well proportioned.
Personality::
A blue with a superiority complex, he expects much of himself, being intense in his need to prove himself. Even as a small blue, he's already well proportioned with strength that will cause him to do well in his strength and wing training as he ages. He doesn't think himself a mere blue, and understands that his size and build will let him do things that bronzes could never do.. even if he can't fly yet. Colieth doesn't believe in limits, and already has his nose turned to the sky. He won't do anything foolish, but believes that he will do very well at anything he sets his mind to, especially flying. The sky is the limit! And jokingly, Colieth says he could probably go farther.
