Humans:
Name: Mikaze
Age:17
Gender:Male
Sexual Orientation:Bi
Rank: Candidate
Physical Appearance: Mikaze is a rather wiry young man with an infectious "Let's do it!" Attitude. He has a wide grin and warm brown eyes. His short black hair is combed spiky with natural plant oil to help hold it spiked. He is tan with slightly yellow skin and his eyes point slightly up, it apparent he has more than a little Asian decent.
He has thin long fingers and would have probably made a good piano player if he had been interested. His body is whip-like thin with a supple strength. He's not as physically strong as most men but has a very flexible body. He bears a series of scars on the left side of his ribs.
He stands about 5'5 and weighs 153 pounds. He toes are a bit longer than normal, which seems to irritate shoemakers. He received multiple piercings in his ears. Also when he was 16 he had a tattoo of star blossoms and ferns stretch across his lower pack in several flower colors like pink, blue, purple, and yellow. Bright green makes up the vines and leaves.
Personality:
Live life unconventionally. This has always been Mikaze's motto whether he was practicing something not taught in Woodcraft or traveling outside of the Hold. He is fun loving and sociable, preferring to hang out with a bunch of people rather than be alone. If he has to travel alone to do what he wants....oh well....he'll find time for his buddies after. He's typically a high energy do-it-all-er and has a cleaning complex. [it must be squeaky clean]
Mikaze will be the first one to give you the shirt from his back if its still there. He likes to make people smile and show them that its possible to find humor in the worst of things. He's highly outgoing, enjoys exploring, mild pranks, and delicate works of art. While he is typically easy going and forgiving he has a few issues from his early childhood that he won't let go. If its true that time heals all wounds then it will take much time.
His fun loving and outgoing demeanor is occasionally replaced by a moody, morbid perspective. He suffers from night terrors from time to time, vague memories dreamt that he can't piece together. He'll be moody and brooding for days afterward but eventually comes around....usually went doing something totally insane.
History:
Mikaze grew up with his Dad who was a Senior Journeyman in the Woodcraft Hall. As such his days were spent being handed off to various women willing to rear him alongside their own children. Being passed off and ignored by his Father was the norm for him till he turned 8. After all, he was expected to follow his Father's footsteps, and in Lemos Hold that meant woodcraft.
His Father demanded absolute respect and only very rarely allowed Mikaze to see is he cared or was proud. Mikaze was indoctrinated early into Woodcraft. Excellence was expected of him. Anything less was met with a firm, if short, beating.
He proved to be nimble with his fingers and interested enough to learn to woodworking skills. At age 11 he became a senior apprentice. It was this first walking of the tables that Mikaze beheld a hint of approval in his stern Father. Even so, their relationship never improved.
By the time Mikaze turned 12 he had begun acting out. It started with small pranks. Things like tunnel snakes in the kitchen or items hidden or perhaps more dangerous....replacing Hall chairs with ones he designed to break....causing quite a few accidents. The Hall, knowing it was he, continued to teach him more advanced projects but never let him walk the tables again. It was something that infuriated his Father, who took it out on his son. "You will bear a scar for each faulty chair you made, so that you will never forget why discipline and respect is important." He had tied Mikaze down and cut twelve lines in a column down his left rib cage. This action not only left Mikaze in much pain, but caused his tightly held rage to turn into hate. He did the only thing he could think of to completely spite his Father. When a search rider from Benden offered to take him, he agreed. He was searched at 14.
He quickly learned that candidates were no better than slaves while a vicious struggle ensued amongth the candidates for Rider favor. He quickly became known through the Riders that liked toying with the candidates as someone willing to do extremes. Stunts...especially if they sounded fun, became Mikaze's specialty. He stood for a clutch but was unimpressed. Mikaze was quickly getting lost in the struggle of life....but he had made a friend. A young girl his age had Impressed a pretty green. He watched as the vibrant teen lost what joy she had and became a stern, cruel woman. She began to ignore him....and he heard rumors that she had taken forcibly. As time was going by he was beginning to make plans of escape.
The siege of Selenitas and C'leon's death marked a turning point in Mikaze's life. The Weyr was in utter chaos and Mikaze took advantage of the mess to slip away...though not before lifting items of value from various Riders he had "worked" for.
He began living life one day at a time. He traded work for food and shelter, selling the items he had when needed. He quickly found out that his disfavor with the Woodcraft Hall had progressive repercussions as he could only request the most meager of pay for his services as a Senior Apprentice. Over the course of two years he working his way south till he could earn passage in a ship heading for Southern Hold. During the year he spent in Keroon Hold he became tattooed. Mikaze chose color though the Tattooist refused to use solid red on any of the flowers. Once a month he's go to the tattooist and have a few inches done until he had a flowery tattoo almost two inches tall and five inches wide. A total of five months where spent on the tattoo due to the toxicity of the colors. He eventually left for southern hold and settled in Blossom. Even though he escaped Benden he still yearned to bond with a dragon and approached Selenitas. He was searched and accepted as a candidate.

Impressed to: M'ze (Mikaze)
Name: Tenloceth (Ten-low-seth)
Age: 1<
Color: Brown - #AA6600
Appearance: A toasty chestnut color, Tenloceth is reddish Brown in hue. He literally looks like a chestnut that has been roasted over and open fire, seriously, place one on his hide and you wont be able to find it again. Long streaks of blackish brown zig zag across his haunches and withers, ending only after running down his legs and reaching the very tip of his toes. Making it look like someone had drawn on Tenloceth while he was sleeping. This same dark brown tips every single one of his backridges. But the markings don't stop there. The tip of his nose, his head knobs, the tip of his tail, they are all covered with the black brown. Five circular dots arrange themselves down his neck in a nearly straight line, although because of the muscles in Tenloceth's neck, they often give off a slightly curved appearance. Long ebony talons adorn his feet like shiny stones and are incredibly dense and hard to the touch. Its very unlikely these claws will ever chip or break.
Tenloceth gives off the distinct impression of masculinity. Moderately sized for a Brown, he's well packed when it comes to muscle. Broad in the chest and slightly thinner at the waist, he seems to have an almost bulldog like build. His neck and tail, going with the theme, are also densely packed with muscle allowing him to use either as clubbing weapons. The bones in his head are reinforced for heavy contact, so don't be surprised if he can head butt someone into the next year and ask if someone threw a piece of paper at him. His wings are long and broad, compensating genetically so he can get off the ground and into the air. His endurance is amazing for one such as him, though, in turn he does have very poor turning radius's. Not very graceful on the ground, or really in the air either (aka he's efficient, not pretty),Tenloceth is built more for surviving than strutting his stuff.
Personality: Forever the downer, Tenloceth acts as if he really doesn't care about anything because everything doesn't really care about him. With the exception of His, of course. Despite having such a gloomy gills sort of attitude, he's not entirely unpleasant to be around.He won't try and purposely depress someone, but its not impossible for it to happen accidentally. The Brown can be friendly and pleasant when he wants to be, though the sincerity of those feelings can often vary. Because Tenloceth isn't exactly the social butterfly, he tends to be quiet and reserved. It may seem difficult to get to know him well, really though, he opens up pretty quickly to those who actually want to be his friend. He may act like he doesn't care, and act so well people believe its true, but its not. Perhaps its because the Brown cares too much that he's always seeing everything that can go wrong, everything that might take those things away from him.
Tenloceth is very loyal. He pledges full faithfulness to his bonded and because of that, is surprisingly dependable. This can be applied to everything in his life, that is, with the exception of flights. This Brown tends to be a bit, er... flighty, when it comes to that. Tenloceth chases because he wants to, even then its only when he has enough self confidence to actually get his butt in the sky to do it. He believes that a Green (and most definitely a Gold) has very high standards and that he falls very much short of them. Therefore, the females who he does end up chasing will most likely be those he's gotten to know or has befriended. They already know what he's like and probably won't be disappointed the next morning... maybe...

Banana Egg Blue
Name: Kyanus
Color: Blue
DOB: March 3017
Appearance: This flitter is a dark streak of brindled color, rendered in blues so deep and dark that some, if not most, of the shades look to be shades of ever-darker black. Much of the brindling looks like blueberry syrup dribbled down the flitter's spine. It is a softer shade, somewhat brighter and marking the blue as unmistakably blue, and not, after all, a black. He is lengthy enough to be aerodynamic, but has large, almost disproportionate hands and feet, and the arms of his wings are stocky and thick where the wing-fingers themselves are long and spindly. His tail is extremely flexible, and when seated, he can coil it completely around his own legs and touch the tailfork to his opposite thigh.
He is more than just a bit on the thin side however, and never seems to be able to put much weight on. His ribby appearance is only made worse by the faint brindling on his sides, making the washboard sides look even lumpier.
Personality: While not easily described as bubbly, this little guy goes about every action in life with zeal and gusto, forever enthusiastic about every tiny thing – his enthusiasm doesn't have much to curb it either, and he will often pounce on things that catch his attention. While he isn't prone to biting, he will put everything that fits into his mouth and taste it. Despite this behavior he certainly is not fond of actually chewing or swallowing much!
He is so disillusioned by foodstuffs that he will often refuse to stop and eat anything for long enough that he becomes quite thin, and his ribs show through his dark skin. He is not overly fond of sustained flight. If it is at all possible he will climb, crawl, scurry or run anywhere that he can get away with it. Flying is work after all, and walking is so much easier!
