Deceased: Died in Selenitas Earthquake Plot
Humans:
Name: Perion
Age: 19 Turns
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation:Heterosexual Bisexual
Rank: Candidate
Physical Appearance: Perion has deep, olive-toned skin, tanned and almost shiny. His hair is relatively long, the tips barely grazing his shoulders. Mostly straight, his black locks have a tendency to curl by the ends. Some days, his hair can appear bone-straight, while others, it is quite wavy. It depends on the humidity. As for color, his hair is a striking shade of black. In fact, it is such a pure color that it can never be confused for a dark brown. There are no highlights, no changes in hue, no irregularities of any kind. His eyes are a deep, dull grey in color. He has a surprisingly feminine appearance. It is not so strong that he is mistaken for a woman, but his features are undeniably ladylike. His face has a unique shape, his apparent cheekbones only adding to his femininity.
Although his large pink lips and his elegant eyes appear quite girly, Perion's thick eyebrows and masculine nose compensate for them somewhat. He is rather tall, reaching nearly 6’ 4”. He has a muscular build, powerful and strong, from his days working as a drudge. He stands up straight, his shoulders back and head up. He walks with an undeniable confidence, almost arrogance. No doubt, it helps that he towers above most people and is as strong as most dragon riders.
Personality: Once upon a time, Perion was an obedient, solemn young man. Although laid-back and carefree, he was never happy, but never upset. Emotion didn’t quite exist to him. Obedient, dedicated, and determined, he was the perfect drudge, the best candidate at chores. People once annoyed him to no end. However, this personality, crafted from years of drudgery and family drama, transformed completely after his “injury.” His personality, it seems, has done a complete 360.
Masculinity. No longer is Perion a macho man. His body is still the same: tall and muscular. Now, however, he seems a bit more confused about his sex. Some days he feels rather embarrassed about his “ladylike” episode, but others he thinks, why couldn’t he be a female? This can be seen in every way he acts. He isn’t vain, yet is preoccupied with appearances. Shallow, perhaps. He is attracted to those who look nice, and wants to look nice himself. He feels a concern for all creatures, and now has a gentle, kind personality that cares for all others.
Fear. Perion once felt no fear, mostly because he didn’t care. Now, however, he does care, and he does fear. He is afraid of almost everything, actually. The dark, of course, as well as bugs. Lightning and fire, drowning and death. This as well deviates from the masculine persona Perion once had. Not only is he fearful, but he is now expressive about his fear as well.
Reactivity. His face was once unresponsive, but now is abundant with emotion. Needless to say, he is an open book. It seems as though he is an overdramatic actor, choosing unrealistic expressions never seen upon another’s face. He is, however, sincere. He cannot act, mostly because he cannot lie. He rarely lies, but when he does, it is quite obvious. However, his reactivity is more than just facial expressions. His emotions now exist, almost to the opposite extreme. His emotions bounce all over the place, probably belated adolescent mood swings he missed out on. He is always concerned with others, and may work himself into a panic over them.
Dramatics. While once, drama was foreign to him, it now is part of his everyday life. He is a bit of a drama queen--er, king? Maybe? A step beyond reactive, he is over reactive. He over exaggerates the tiniest thing. A tiny scratch registers in his mind as a huge wound. (Needless to say, his injury was at least scarring and possibly life-threatening. It was neither.) A small flaw renders something useless. If something doesn’t go according to plan, he will get quite upset. He does not have a plan b. If plan a fails, he himself is determined to fail and accepts this. He doesn’t mean to be overdramatic. He is just a bit of a hypochondriac, including aspects other than health.
Social. Needless to say, Perion is still not a social butterfly. However, his lack of interaction is no longer tied to silence or disdain. (Perion, of course, is not silent, but nor is he loud.) Rather, it stems from a shyness. He is very shy when first meeting someone, and it takes a good portion of time to warm up to them before he is friendly. His responses seem a bit formal, actually. He comes off as stiff and uptight a lot, but really it is an anxiety about acceptance and friendship. Yes, Perion is now a completely different person.
History: Perion was born in Blossom Hold to drudge Kirina a young harper named Jonin. The romance was a secret one, as Jonin was to be married to another woman in Southern Hold. The young man was sent off to the hold to marry the woman, leaving behind the lonely woman. Poor Kirina was heartbroken. She was a sensitive woman, left completely wrecked by the failed affair. She cared desperately for Perion, her only son, her dearest love. She longed to protect him from a life of drudgery, but this was quite hard to do.
Perion’s childhood was surprisingly calm. He was watched over by the women of the hold while Kirina worked until his tenth turn. The first ten turns of life were simple, neither good nor bad. He had a handful of playmates and a handful of childish troubles, but nothing that drastically improved or impacted his life in any way. Once he turned ten, however, he was expected to help his mother work. He had no skills for any crafts, like his mother had hoped. She had tried apprenticing him to several crafters. His singing voice was more of an awkward warble, and his hands were too rough and careless to be a healer. Whenever he tried to work with clothing--sewing, weaving, or tanning--his work was rather poor, to say the least.
As a result, he spent his time as a physical worker. He lifted, carried, and moved. As a result, he became rather strong. Dialogs and conversations were looked down upon, so he tended to stay away from it. Life became dismal. Although it seemed the same from day to day, it was difficult nonetheless. He hated it, simply put. He stayed only to watch after his mother. She grew rather sad over the years. She felt so betrayed, so hurt, so alone.
She ended up running away. Even her son did not know where she had gone. She turned up later at the Hold of her love, living in the shadows, no doubt trying to win him over. Perion was quite annoyed by this, but made no move to chase her. She had made her decision. Soon after, he was searched. He didn’t Impress for a few turns, but he was glad to have the less strenuous life of a candidate. True, Weyr drama that had never affected him now did. It seemed that the Weyr he had cared little for had made an enemy of the others.
However, at nineteen turns he suffered an injury to his head. He got a concussion and a gash on his head, just below his hairline. Luckily, it didn't scar, but this injury affected him for the rest of his life. The trauma to his brain changed his personality drastically; he went from a serious, fearless, silent fellow to a fearful, over-reactive, fearful man. This transformation included the temporary belief that he was a female. Shortly after his injury, he Impressed a small blue fire lizard, who he named Tsuki.

Looks to: Perion
Appearance: The perfect image of grace, this is one firelizard sure to burn himself into everyone’s mind as memorable. Though he’s on the small side, he’s definitely not easy to overlook: his wings are long and lean, elegant even, with sharper points that give him a more masculine appearance than many of his kind. His body itself is slender and streamlined, but not lacking in muscle – quite the opposite in fact; every time he beats a wing, it’s painfully obvious that he’s a strong firelizard – built powerful for quick bursts of speed that will make his sisters turn and stare. He’s an impressive little guy to behold and his most prominent feature is his face, which is rounded and sweet. He looks innocent and as though he’s permanently smiling – no doubt a feature that many people will find highly appealing. Coupled with soft, smooth ridges that, while definitely there, are more innocent, and this firelizard looks more like a well-sculpted doll. Innocent. Angelic. Beautiful.
His coloring even fits this impression. An elegant shade of icy blue makes up the majority of his hide, just two shades off of white – enough to be blue but still described as painfully light. However, he has accenting that illuminates his hide and makes him anything but “cold.” Like a fine sapphire, the sails of his wings are darker and seem to shimmer when caught by light with lattice-work silver like lace covering both the tops and bottoms. Over his forelegs are deep violet-blue hearts – that’s the only way to describe the spots that adorn him – and he flaunts them with every movement as though to show off how unique he looks. He has similarly colored markings over his face – only, instead of being hearts, the ones there appear to be flowers. There’s no other way to describe the looping patterns over his eyes: lovely little flowers showing themselves off for all to see – like daisies. He’s definitely a cheerful looking firelizard. Ever the romantic, he always has a flower to share~
Personality: Flirt. That is the word that describes this blue firelizard to a tee. There is nothing else that fits him quite so well. He’s a blatant, undeniable flirt who makes no effort to hide that he likes attention. Females are his favorites to flirt with and he’s prone to bringing gifts of flowers, food or shiny objects that he’s located (but almost never stolen) to show his affection. He favors bringing only certain types of flowers to his chosen. For instance, the green of the moment may get only lilies, while if he decides to flirt with a gold, she may only get wild flowers that are purple. It varies female to female and he almost never doubles up; his memory for these details is actually quite good and the thing he enjoys most about flirting is making another creature feel appreciated. In this respect, he tries to always be different and original. No two creatures get the same treatment. A particularly analytical person might note that this firelizard, as a result, has a very good memory for details – that which rivals some dragons, quite out of character for a blue. But he does. He has to remember or else what kind of romantic is he? Hmm?
He also likes to ‘compose’ songs for those that interest him. Unfortunately, he’s very bad at it, so his singing might embarrass others – not enough to be painful but enough to be more comical than flattering. His interests don’t extend exclusively to females, either, though most of the time those are what he favors. He’s perfectly happy to flirt endlessly with other males as well – it just depends on his mood. Most of the time, he favors creatures that seem unhappy, as though they’ll benefit the most from his antics. He tries to be comical on purpose to boost other creatures’ spirits as well. Some might say that he’s fond of spreading joy and affection and the sentiment would not be inaccurate. He really does feel best when he’s making other creatures happy – regardless of species, gender or temperament. Just because some might be unkind to him (like salamandyrs) doesn’t mean they don’t need love too.
Aside from being something of an offense to hearing, this firelizard’s a mostly sweet little guy. His gets attention and affection from him at all times – he knows no other way to be – but asking him to deliver messages or follow orders is a laughable concept. He’s certainly smart enough to do so but he’s not likely to bother. That takes energy away from things that he would much rather be doing – like flirting with others. Tch. He can be bribed though: he loves sweets of any kind and will do just about anything for most types of candy. This bribing should be done sparingly though, for he learns well and will not likely take the bait multiple times. He’s too smart for that.
