Username: Merides
Character Number: 1
Name: J'ald
Age: 31 Turns
Gender: Male
Sexual Preference: Straight
Rank: Wingrider (second, if needed)
Appearance: The first thing one notices about this borownrider is his size- A giant of a man, he stands about six-and-a-half feet tall, with a frame to match. His barrel chest and muscular limbs should have belonged to a Smithcrafter. His strength is rumored to be great, but he won't say. His complexion is dark, with tanned skin and black hair. His eyes belie the rest of him, though. They are a soft brown, almost gold, and very kind. Small laugh lines shoot from the corners, indicative of his rare smile. That smile, when he does show it, is large, open, and friendly. Most of the time, however, his face is neutral, or scowling. His frown has been known to make weyrlings run in fear.
His clothing preference is light, a thin white shirt, open at the chest, and tan breeches that disappear into tall riding boots. A wide, black belt circles his great waist, occasionally holding a knife. Not an ounce of fat is in evidence on his body- a fact that has made many a woman sigh, as do the scars from thread that lace his bare arms.
Personality: J'ald has always been a loner- from his childhood he'd rather have been with the animals than with other people. He can be moody, swinging from kindness to anger in the blink of an eye, especially when dealing with Weyrlings. He tolerates no breaking of rules, and supports his Wingleader in everything. J'ald speaks rarely, but gets his point across when he does speak. He would rather let his actions speak for him. Under his gruff exterior, however, J'ald is a softie. He loves plants, finding himself outdoors in the fields as often as possible, appreciating the flowers and delecate grasses. He fears others discovering this, so has lessened these trips as of late.
Biography: Raised the third son of seven children, Jasald, as he was known then, felt he was mainly ignored. His father was a smithcrafter- thus his size and looks. His mother, a healer, taught him to love nature, and how to use different plants for healing and medicinal purposes. He would apply these skills later in life.
Jasald was Searched at age 18, while he was an apprentice Smith. With his parent's permission, he travelled to the Weyr, planning on returning to smithcraft if he didn't impress. To his surprize, he impressed to Brown Ezrath, who quickly grew to be a large, strong dragon, much in preportion to his rider.
Having been a rider for thirteen turns, he was confident that he could hold his own in a fight, and in whatever came at him, but this overconfidence may prove to be his downfall.
Family: Father- Smithcrafter, Mother- Healer
***
Dragon: Brown Ezrath
Age: 13
Color: Brown
Appearance: Ezrald is a dark, almost chocolate, brown. His bulk and height complement that of his rider- huge. Rivaling a Bronze for size, he is easily one of the largest browns in the Weyr. Threadscored on left wing and tail, the scars are old, from his younger, foolish days. His eyes dance with color, making him a favorite among the greens.
Personality: Ezrath is the support behind his rider. He will back J'ald up with whatever decision made. He is not a flirter, but does not mind attention from the greens, and the occasional gold. He has more of a sense of humor than his rider, joking with the other dragons every so often. (more to come when I get to know him better)
