Killed In Siege of Selenitas
| - Humans - |
Name: Sk'ler
~Formerly: Skyler
Age: 24, Impressed 20
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Hetero [Is only slight adversed to the effects and possible outcomes of Mating Flights]
Rank: Brownrider
Month Born: December 2989
Physical Appearance: The first thing you notice about Sk'ler is his height. He ends up being a whopping 6'0" when he stands. He has a sturdy body build that is meant for hard work and built to withstand a fair amount of strain. When Sk'ler walks, he walks with a slight limp in his left leg. It isn't bad enough to hinder him when he moves, but the old wound can get pretty sore if the man doesn't rest once in awhile. Sk'ler's skin is a nice shade of tan that will darken after long moments of exposure to the sun, but it usually remains the color of a light brown.
Besides his height, Sk'ler has warm chocolate brown eyes that actually match his dragon's hide. Most of the time, his eyes are gentle and thoughtful, but sometimes, his liquid brown eyes can be as stormy as a hurricane. To accent his eyes, Sk'ler's hair is a light golden brown with natural blond highlights. He prefers his hair short and out of the way because it will begin to curl if it is allowed to grow any longer then how he wears it.
Sk'ler's attire consists mainly of comfortable and durable clothes. the main colors are warm browns and greens with a few blacks and blues in the mix. Most often or not, you will see the young man wearing a light tan shirt, dark brown trousers, very dark brown or black boots, and a plain belt with a knife attached. When there is a formal occasion, Sk'ler will pull out his fancier clothes that are usually nicer then his normal attire (but not by much), but he prefers casual to formal.
Personality: Skyler is a very withdrawn person. He absolutely hates contact with others and prefers to be on the outside of everything. Skyler used to be an outgoing, sweet, enjoyable kid, but his father ruined him. He became a shadow, never answering and always hard to find. He could be somewhere one minute and in another place the next. Skyler likes to travel and staying in one place is hard for him. When he feels emotional, he goes off by himself and makes things to calm his mind. Sky never attacks others because of his pain and hate of his father. Instead he just keeps himself away from everyone. All he needs is a good friend and he just might return to his normal self.
History: Skyler was born to a low ranking herder and was the 'outlet' his father had for his anger. Sky was beaten over and over by his father, treated like he was nothing. Skyler was taught his father's skills and began to take care of the herds that were too hard for his father to reach. He would remain up there from the span of days to months, alone with the herd and no humans. With so much isolation, Skyler began to take on a different persona then the one he had. He was never happy or with emotion. One day, soon after his mother's death, a Search Rider came and took Skyler away to Selenitas Weyr. He now lives there, waiting for the day when those sickly eggs Hatch and he was the chance to become a dragonrider. Fortunately, Skyler did not Impress from that clutch. From within Aslath's first clutch was an egg named the Rose Quartz Egg. When it came time to Hatch, Brown Triniath emerged from its encasing walls. Now Skyler has become Sk'ler and he waits to see what his future will be like.| - Brown Triniath - |
Name: Triniath
Color: Brown *330000*
Age: Adult
Physical Appearance: Triniath is a handsome, sturdy brown, a brown that will be held to faith oftentimes in Threadfall. His long, muscular wings are perfect for holding up his strong body, and can spread far to carry him in flight, at a steady speed for an entire Threadfall or more. His body is not long nor short, but about the right size of a brown dragon. His build is certainly muscular, but certainly cannot be described as being bulky. Triniath has the fortune of being strong and slender, good for speed and endurance. Sure, he may specialize in neither, but being well-rounded is more important to dragons, so he will be very well off. His head is blocky, but is not unattractive. It suits his build, with his sturdy body looking more proportionate with something more square.
As for coloring, Triniath once again proves how handsome he is. With hide the color of dark chocolate, it seems to be silky all over. The shading is even and perfect on every square inch of his body, in a way that makes him look almost edible. His fine hide is free of any blemishes or distinguishing marks. While this contributes to just making him ‘a part of the crowd,’ or not very noticeable, those that do deign to notice him are appreciative of his dark, silky hide.
Personality: Fitting the stereotypical mold of a brown dragon, Triniath isn’t the most outspoken dragon. He is strong, yes, and he will lead when needed, but Triniath tends to flail when placed in those sorts of situations. He doesn’t like it when all eyes turn to him, but he is very good at following others. Perhaps not the best traits for a Wingleader or wingsecond, but he is very reliable for becoming a good wingrider. In fact, Triniath can be considered one of the most trusted dragons in a wing, with his quiet determination to sear as much Thread as he can while keeping a cool head.
His dislike of leading stems from an even larger dislike. Triniath just cannot stand any social situations, save for that with his bonded, of course. Yet even with his rider, Triniath uses little words, and doesn’t say any more than he has to. This might be a problem in weyrling lessons or if a female tries flirting with him, but Triniath will speak if absolutely needs to. It complements his shyness quite well, so it is expected of him to not be terribly talkative. Yet even with his bonded, Triniath will waste no worthless words.
Even more befitting of his introverted personality is how well he works alone. Though he is a loyal worker in a wing, it can be found that Triniath is even more productive when he works alone. This can be attributed to not being pressured, and given the chance to do things for himself instead of being inhibited by others. Of course, his rider is always more than welcome to help him do things when alone.| - Male Canine Chewbacca - |
Name: Chewbacca aka Chewy
Gender: Male
Age: Pup
Appearance: This large male is a dark, red brown over much of his body except his tail, paws and muzzle, which are jet black. His bright green eyes have a mischievously glint to them, but hold little malice. He has pointed ears, a slightly pointed nose, and a long whip like tail. This fur is short but soft and fuzzy. When he's full grown, he'll stand about 2 and a half feet high and three feet long, not including tail. If not overfed, he should be a sleek and fit canine.
Personality: This canine is a playful bundle of energy. He adores people, whoever they may be, and will rush to greet strangers with a happy smile and wagging tail. He is also quite the trouble maker, prone to chewing anything leather from boots to a dragon's harness. He gets along with other canines as well as with humans, though he is not as territorial as other males. He doesn't quite have the strong presence of an alpha male, but with his easy going nature he is sure to win the hearts of many.| - Female Canine Commando - |
Name: Commando aka Mando aka Mandy
Gender: Female
Age: Pup
Appearance: Black dominates this large females coloring. Her long, silky fur is dark as night from tip to snout save for a line of silver grey on her chest from her chin to her belly. Yellow eyes watched the world with a fierce glare. Her build is strong and muscular and she stands nearly 3 feet when full grown. Her ears and nose are very pointed and he tail, short and curled.
Personality: It is almost as if this female was born the wrong gender. She lords over the other canines with a dominating presence that dares any to challenge her. She will grown extremely attached to her owner, to the point of allowing no others near her. She can be fiercely loyal and protective of those she considers her pack and will defend them from any threat, even a dragon. She tolerates other dogs, so long as they do not try to usurp her rule, and will likely consent to mate with any male who accepts that she is in command.| - Brown Fire-lizard Soltun - |
Name: Soltun
Color: Brown *270F02*
Age: Adult
Physical Appearance: Are you sure this firelizard is a brown? Because his wingspan is exceptionally large for his color, rivaling that of a small bronze, and he is proportioned perfectly, as though sculpted from a mold. One look at him can inspire the thought, "This is what firelizard legends were written about; this appearance." as no part of him seems to be flawed in any way. No unusual proportions or strange markings mar his hide, and if one ignores that he is strangely large, he is the perfect picture of what a brown should be: rich and chocolaty in color, blending smoothly from the tip of his maw to the end of his tail. His hide sparkles with richer browns, mahogany and touches of scarlet that give prominence to his appearance; he'll never be a bronze, despite his size, but there is no denying that he is eye catching, and with his size, it is likely he'll be able to fly queens when he reaches adulthood.
Personality: If his appearance made one doubt what color he is, his personality will dissuade away any concerns. This brown is very self-contained and calm, with no hints of hyperactivity at all. In fact, "chill" would not be a bad assessment of the way this firelizard holds himself. He is quiet, unlikely to chirp and chitter much, though what he "says" he usually means. Intensely protective of his bonded, it is unlikely that this little fellow will venture far from the one he looks to. He is very much a "shoulder flitter" and he expresses his affection best not with sounds, but gentle touches, reassuring rubs and nudges that make it clear just how fond of his lifemate he truly is. Protective as he is, though, this little firelizard shares very well, and will be happy to fetch supplies and other things if he is asked politely - not just from his person, but from anyone. He respects manners, and seems to understand well what please and thank you mean, surprisingly enough.| - Brown Fire-lizard Voolli - |
Name: Voolli
Color: Brown *573B24*
Age: Hatchling
Appearance: This is one of the larger browns Selenitas has seen hatch, and while not entirely abnormal in size he is certainly nothing to be scoffed at. His body is strongly muscled, offset by a tail that seems almost too long and thick for the rest of him. On the ground, this brown is certainly a force to be reckoned with. In the air however, his long, thin wings have trouble supporting him. He will be lacking in speed, stamina and overall agility, and so it is likely he will spend much of his time on the ground, where he can make his powerful body work for him.
The brown is not the most handsome by far. His almost excessively muscular frame gives him a jagged and awkward silhouette. Much of his hide is a solid shade of dark brown that has a greenish, tin-like shine to it. A few darker, matte spots can be found in even groups down his spine. His talons are rough and unkempt from all the time he spends on the ground. When running he is neither elegant nor awkward, but he can be surprisingly fast. When fighting, this brown will favor to whipping his massive tail around over using his claws or teeth.
Personality: This is a very gruff and straight-forward flitter. He displays an unmistakable no-nonsense attitude toward life and he is very task oriented. He takes the concepts of order, hierarchy and discipline very seriously, and will tend to butt-heads with those who see them as less important than he does. He can have quite a temper when provoked –often by one or more of the above- and is not above lashing out with tooth and claw to prove his point, so long as it does not disrupt what is going on around him.
He is fiercely loyal to both his bonded and any who call him a friend. It is likely that instead of chasing after many females, he will set his sights on a particularly attractive one and chase her regularly. Flits are not generally known to be monogamous, but this brown is out to break the mold in that regard. So long as you keep away from his bad side, this brown really is quite friendly. He prefers to make friends with brown and bronze flitters, as he finds them more inclined to agree with his sense of propriety. This is a flit who aspires to greatness, and loves nothing more than to be recognized for his achievements. Given the opportunity, he will make a skilled leader that others can rely upon to keep calm in the face of staggering obstacles.| - Blue Fire-lizard Skye - |
Name: Skye
Age: Adult
Color: Blue *669999*
Appearance: There is something striking about this little blue. It is not that his hide is a stunningly uninteresting shade of greyish powder blue, broken only by a midnight dark ring around the base of his thin, angled neck. It isn’t his size either, though he is almost ridiculously small for a blue and will no doubt be dwarfed even by the larger of his green sisters. No, what makes this little flitter so eye catching are his wings -or rather, his lack thereof. This poor unfortunate fire lizard is completely wingless, his thin frame showing not even a vestigial bump to suggest that he was ever to have had them in the first place. Thankfully, this sweet natured little thing is far too dim-witted to recognize his lack of wings as an affliction, and will not miss the open skies in the slightest.
Personality: Even ignoring his appearance completely, this little blue’s personality is enough to mark him as a curiosity. Rather than chasing greens and golds of his own species -for truly, the task would be nearly impossible- he has developed an almost unnatural fascination with the Weyr’s salamandyrs. He absolutely adores his tiny cousins, befriending them no matter what their color or temperament with an almost idiotic naivety. He will faithfully chase any green or gold who chooses to run under his careful watch -including those who are already mated- and will be an affectionate and doting mate should he ever get so lucky as to catch one. It should also be noted that the link he shares with His is decidedly stronger than one would expect from a fire lizard, meaning that if Sk’ler is not careful, it is entirely possible that when his flitter chases, he might be taken along for the ride.| - Blue Fire-lizard Admiral - |
Name: Admiral
Age: Adult
Colour: Blue *3399CC*
Appearance: With a glistening hide that matches the pristine blue water of the continent’s tropical shores, this little blue is sure to draw a lot of attention. His feet are pure white, the color blending seamlessly with the rest of his coloring and almost giving him the look of a creature who is wearing white mittens and boots. As with real clothing however, his paws are very rarely the pristine white they should be, spending most of their time stained with the dust and dirt that all flitters accumulate in their daily travels, but never have to display on their hides. His build is a little more stocky than would be normal for a flitter of his coloration, but his large wings help to compensate for the fact when he is airborne. He is surprisingly agile when one considers his heavy build, and so long as he is not required to fly very long he is sure to make his share of catches among the green population.
Personality: It is very difficult to get this little blue to take anything or anyone seriously. He is easy-going to the point where only the most vicious of threats can harsh his mellow, and this trait is only complimented by a naively optimistic outlook on life sure to infuriate the more sensible creatures he associates with. This flitter is also far from shy, meaning that if he has something to say he will not hesitate in expressing it. This is trait is both a blessing and a curse to himself and those around him, as he is just as likely to comment on a clutching queen’s poor temper as his bonded’s good taste in clothing. Amazingly tolerant, it won’t be difficult for this little blue to get along with creatures that are less that friendly toward him. This is fortunate, because the lazy, self-servicing little flower child is sure to rub a few people the wrong way.| - Green Fire-lizard Joolree - |
Name: Joolree
Color: Green *75BD91*
Age: Adult
Physical Appearance: Long and sleek is this little green, with a slightly long, though not unattractive neck. Her tail is whippy and thin, longer than average though not terribly noticeably, and she has average sized wings that frame a dainty, delicate looking form. Like her color suggests, she is built for short, powerful bursts of speed and agility unmatched by any other color, and she redefines grace in the air, even for a firelizard, with elegant loops and turns in her flight that could make even those of her own color feel inadequate; she is simply built for flight so primarily that watching her is a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, being so agile in the sky has costs and she can't land, and on the ground she looks positively pathetic, wobbling and falling more often than any firelizard ought. She's truly pathetic on her feet, and it is not unusual to see her delicate, sea-foam green hide marred up, as if bruised. Her coloring is very fair, and unfortunately because of her inability to land, she's prone to getting dirty easily. At least she's cute.
Personality: Because she flies so well, even from hatching, this little green is prone to flying rather than perching anywhere, and she will glide around doing loop-de-loops near her humanpet every time she's in public, as if to show off. She's clumsy on the ground, though, so her lifemate should not be surprised to find her constantly dirty, as though she'd rolled around in the sand, or at the very least with small marks as though bruised. She means well though and this little flitter has an unbreakable spirit, with a penchant for trying to keep everyone around her happy. Don't be surprised if she shows up with flowers out of no where or little gifts she may havestolenborrowed without permission; she's eager to please and likes to go out of her way to make everyone happy, if she can. Unfortunately the cost of this happiness sometimes, er, comes in the form of people screeching for their belongings back. Oh well, nothing's perfect.
