Deceased: Died in Selenitas Earthquake Plot
Name: L'kos
Age: 25 Turns
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Rank: Wingrider
Physical Appearance: A wiry, lean man with a relatively short stature at about 5'6''. L'kos' small build is one that might have been associated with thoroughbred racing jockeys or distance runners long ago. He has long arms and legs when regarded in proportion to the rest of his body, and seems to maintain his skinny frame no matter what he eats, though that will likely change with age.
He has rather average brown hair with slightly receding widows peaks that are starting to appear even at his young age, and his eyes are a soft, light brown. Gordon has an ever present, and rather charming, grin that lights up his rather pale, long face.
As far as attire goes, L'kos enjoys dressing well and tries to always look his best. He may not own garments of the finest material, but the majority of what he owns and wears is tailor made specifically for him and makes him feel good.
L'kos has healed scarring from a severe burn from a Fort Weyr dragon's fire on his left leg from about five turns ago, he still walks with a slight limp especially when he just wakes up, when he's been flying for a long period, or if he stands up after sitting for awhile.
Personality: L'kos is, and always has been, a cheeky little fellow. He may "only" be a bluerider, but his confidence and sense of humor know no bounds, and his presence around even the most high ranking dragonrider, crafter, or holder announce that fact. He does tend to respect authority figures as a general rule, but the higher-ups that have shown him that they can joke and understand his personality win the most respect from him. The bluerider is definitely a joker, he loves a good hearty laugh and making others laugh, and only if he's well and truly exhausted will the trademark illuminating smile fade from his pale face.
By nature, L'kos is a lusty man who enjoys wooing potential mates. He finds the effort put into starting a relationship almost as much fun as what may come out of it. The flirting, getting to know each other, the potential competition from other would be mates, trying to prove himself as the best pick to a woman or man, etc. all seem like an immensely interesting game in which he must come out on top (in more ways than one, if possible). Despite this lustful, fling loving attitude, L'kos has recently considered trying to enter into a more serious, committed relationship. He understands that dragonriders may not have the same security as others in that department as they don't get married, generally, but he still thinks that finding the "right" person for him and pampering them for the rest of their time together would not be bad.
Along that note, L'kos is an excellent father, considering how little time he actually has to see his sons. He tries to visit Lelkas and Milraz as often as possible, asks them about their schooling, lets them go on short flights with him on Tath, etc. He truly loves his boys, and asking about them is one way to make his ever-present smile widen to the fullest extent. L'kos would like to have a big family, at least a couple more kids, since that is what he knew growing up, but he knows his role as a father will have to be limited.
L'kos can be a bit foolhardy and brash in everything from everyday interactions, relationships, to Threadfighting, and its not rare to see him get in trouble for speaking before thinking, though he basically means well. He's brave and adventurous in the sense that he'd never back down in the rare occasion of a disagreement or scuffle between him and another. Along with lust, his major personality downside is pride. L'kos is, understandably, proud of his two little boys, but also of the basic fact that he is a dragonrider and how many mates Tath has caught in mating flights. Sometimes his boasts keep him from more "conquests" but, in general, he's a fairly laid-back and easy to get along with guy.
History: L'kos, born Lalkos to a runnerbeast breeder and his wife in Ruatha Hold, grew up in a fairly average environment. The last child of eight, L'kos always had to stick out in the crowd of siblings created by his parents, and he learned quickly just how to do so; be funny and be loud. As a boy, Lalkos made his father proud as he spent a lot of his time around the Ruathan stables. Lalkos learned how to ride early on in life, and eventually became one of Ruatha's best young riders in the gather races.
At eighteen Lalkos was searched to stand for a hatching at Benden Weyr and he accepted the decision as a new adventure in his life. Lalkos impressed as a little stumbling blue hatched midway through the hatching, and his life was changed forever.
When Tath became mature the two started their notoriously successful record during mating flights. Tath beat out five other dragons, including a bronze, to catch a green in his second mating flight. L'kos fathered a little boy by the greenrider named Zelia, and named him Lelkas. That would win many other flights over the turns, but the only other one resulting in a child for L'kos came with a greenrider named Miraki. The two decided to name their son Milraz.
Name: Tath
Color: Blue
Age: 7 Turns
Physical Appearance: Tath is a relatively small blue, which suits his rider just fine. He's of average size, neither too lithe or too bulky, and has perfectly proportioned wings. Tath's hide is a soft, light powdery blue color. Tath has scars along the primary mainsail of his left wing, toward the right of his back, right behind his right wing, and on the tip of his tail from the fire of Fort Weyr dragons.
Personality: Just as L'kos finds the chase before winning over a partner one of the most exciting things a man could do, Tath loves the competition in the air for mating flights and mates. Tath would rather chase after a lovely little green with a field full of much larger, much stronger bronzes after the same prize, as he feels more accomplished when he flies against the best of the best. With this need to compete, Tath is also fairly proud of himself. The little blue is not above slowly winging down in lazy circles to show off his beautiful blue hide, or neatly stretching out and carefully placing himself on his ledge to be seen by as many greens as possible.
Tath is also instinctively calm, patient, and caring around L'kos' two little boys, and he enjoys the attention they excitedly pour upon him when he and his rider visit them.
The blue often finds Threadfighting as another competition to be won, and sometimes his rider's foolhardy personality paired with his desire to "beat" everyone else lead to them getting in sticky situations. This desire to win left them both competing in many fights, man on man, and dragon on dragon, at Benden Weyr.
