Killed in Siege of Selenitas
Humans:
Name: P'tol
Age: Seventeen Turns
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Rank: Greenweyrling
Physical Appearance:
Personality: Partol is Paryal’s cousin, but the two share little resemblance. Partol seems to have been blessed with the good looks of the family. He's tall, with somewhat broad shoulders and the kind of naturally skinny body teenage boys tend to have. Partol also tans, unlike Paryal, though it can contrast oddly with his light colored hair. His hair is ash blonde in color, and kept close cropped to his ears. The only way you can tell he's related to Paryal at all really are his eyes- the same blue-gray shade as Paryal’s, though Partol’s are even larger. His face is built delicately, with high cheekbones and a small nose. This gives Partol a feminine appearance, which somehow seems attractive to people.
Partol is the diplomatic one in the family, constantly finding himself trying to solve situations between his various siblings and cousins. He seems to have endless patience with everyone, and it is rare that Partol snaps. He’s entirely good natured and always attempts to be helpful to everyone, to the point where Partol can get underfoot and become annoying.
Unlike Paryal, Partol has no ambitions to be in any position of dominance or power. He is most comfortable following orders, and is sometimes seen as too much of a doormat. Surprisingly, for such a handsome lad, Partol has almost no self-confidence, and constantly hunches to hide his body, and scurries from place to place wearing old clothing. Any idea of getting in a relationship terrifies Partol, though he knows that he likes both males and females.
A quiet efficiency drives Partol, and he will not put something down until he has finished her task. Never lazy, he presses onward, though Partol rarely takes credit for his own work, and tends to shrug praise off at all costs. It seems as if he doesn’t want to be noticed.
Partol has very few friends, as he is not trusting by nature, and flighty as a young deer. New situations make him uncomfortaable, and he can become very routed in his own schedule and his home location. This makes coming to the Weyr a challenge for Partol, who is overwhelmed by the dragonriders and the dragons, if not slightly afraid of them. Despite his fear, he truly wants to Impress, though the idea of Impressing one of the new colors also scares him. Partol isn’t even sure why he decided to come to the Weyr, though he thinks it may have something to do with a long dormant sense of adventure.
Generally, Partol isn’t very intelligent. He can read and write, but he finds most types of math impossible, and he has almost no ‘street sense’. Partol is the type of boy who just might take candy from strangers, of the stranger seemed trustworthy enough.
History: Like Paryal, Partol grew up at the Beastcraft Hall, but he never attained even apprentice status. All the animals were too big for Partol to handle, and everyone seemed to yell too much.
Partol is the second of three children, having one older brother and one younger sister. His father is still alive, but his mother perished in the first Threadfall. Partol hides his grief quietly, though it is obvious that it effects his greatly. Partol’s mother was his closest confidante, his only ‘friend’. At his mother’s death, Partol became the ‘mother’ of the family, taking care of his younger sister and providing meals for them. He developed a high degree of empathy for everyone, closing his own heart to his grief, and becoming slightly stronger in the process.
At the age of twelve Turns, when he was first sent to become an apprentice and failed miserably, Partol was taken in to deal with the fowl and the felines of the Hall. Such small and normally quiet animals suited his nature, and Partol took care of them with his quiet efficiency. Such work wasn’t enough to win him apprentice status, however, but Partol never resented the fact, and his father didn’t seem upset- he had an older son, a heir, who worked hard and was rising swiftly in position. His father didn't even seem upset that his son was viewed as feminine, since the father had an open mind, and a straight son already.
When Partol was Searched, he reluctantly left to start a new life. Only the urging of his father and his two siblings convinced him to get on the dragon’s back and go to a new place, and an uncomfortable situation of being a Candidate. Having Paryal was only a small comfort to the young man, for the two don't know each other very well, and Paryal scares Partol a little bit.
Dragons/Whers/Fire Lizards:
Name: Llath
Color: Green
Age: Newly Hatched
Physical Appearance: Llath is probably the most vivid green of the clutch. Her color is so bright that it appears to be almost acidic, completely at odds with her personality. There are no darker patches on her hide to break the blinding hue, making Llath sometimes painful to look at for too long, especially when she is near Rising. The color is seamless and even, though it fades a bit near her extremities, making her bright, rather than blinding. It's hard to miss Llath, and she attracts a fair bit of attention that neither she nor her rider want, or feel like they deserve. Heads turn to eye the bright green- she's not very pretty, color wise, but she is unusually enough to get this attention.
Llath's proportions are slightly off, but that's fairly normal. She has none of the deformaties some of her siblings possess, which P'tol is graceful for. Instead, she's well built, though a bit on the weedy side. Everything about Llath appears slightly elongated, out of proprotion to the rest of her. Her wings are long but fairly narrow, as are the rest of her limbs. Llath's tail is the only part of her that looks functionally thick. It is also rather short, making quick turns in the sky more difficult for Llath than it might for other greens. All in all, Llath is fairly stork-like, and it's uncertain if she'll ever grow out of her gangly and awkward build.
Though Llath looks as though she should be large (and could even be mistaken for a good sized green for a distance), she in fact quite small. She'll never reach the full green size, but she's not the smallest green in the Weyr either. Instead, she settles for something between the two, content with the fact that she is smaller than average.
Personality: This little girl is a complete sweetheart. P'tol is her world, and it shows in her obvious devotion to almost every move he makes. Her eyes are always turned adoringly on him, and she can get quite distressed if P'tol is feeling some sort of negative emotion. Even as she grows larger, Llath will want to follow P'tol everywhere, not letting him out of her sight for even a minute.
Llath's devotion only stretches so far as P'tol. Other people completely scare her, and she can't stand to have any sort of attention on her (besides P'tol's, of course). The minute anything scares her, she will rush to P'tol's side, trying to hide her head in his knees. The fact that Llath will soon be too big to do this doesn't seem to cross her mind. She's the permenant child, unwilling to accept that one day she will have to grow up, and behave as an adult dragon. Until the day she dies, Llath will be stuck in this mindset of a baby dragon. It's rather adorable, actually, as long as you aren't the one who has to deal with this behavior. Llath goes so far as to be completely afraid of the dark, and can't be left alone at night. If P'tol is not there, she panics, growing completely flustered and bugling for attention until he comes to calm her down.
As you can probably guess, Llath isn't the brightest dragon, but she tries so hard that it more than makes up for that fault. There is some hidden source of strength in this little girl that makes her push until she can understand a task enough to perform it. Llath is horrible at making her own decisions, but can perform quite well if someone else tells her exactly what to do. Details can't be missed when you give Llath directions, or she'll get confused and make mistakes. A confused Llath makes an unhappy Llath, and if she doesn't figure out something after numerous tries, she needs P'tol to take her off somewhere and give her a good oiling.
All in all, Llath could do well under the proper leadership. Will Selenitas give her what she needs? Only time will tell.
