Humans:
Name: X'vier contracted from Xavier
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Rank: Dragonrider
Physical Appearance:
Light brown hair curves around his face and down to his neck. He has a broad angular face with
dark blue eyes and distinct eyebrows. His nose has a light bump as if he was hit with something. Medium lips form a slight confidant smile. He lets his facial hair grow a few days before shaving.
He stands about 5’8 and has a well proportioned body. His broad shoulders make his small waist seem tiny. There’s not much fat covering his stomach. There are, however, three circular scars on the left side on his stomach. His most noticeable scars range across his arms. Most seem old and some can barely been seen. His thigh sports a thread score curving out and towards the knee. His back has several long thin scars in various diagonal angles. He is usually very tan but his tan has faded a bit this year.
Personality:
X'vier is a stead fast individual. He’s hard to push and doesn’t start fights. He will end fights. He likes to let problems diffuse without violence if possible but violence seems to find him. He does not enjoy the torment of others regardless of gender, habits or species. When his friends get into trouble he’s ready to get them out of it. Loyal to a fault, if you’re his friend, you can count on him guarding your back.
X'vier isn’t exactly outgoing though. He does like social events but he usually lets people approach him. That is, unless it’s a beautiful woman he’s after. He’s not too shy about his interests. He has a relaxed posture and easy going smile that makes him easily approachable. He’s willing to listen and make small talk, filing names and important information away till needed.
He doesn’t have a perfect personality. He has severe commitment issues. He doesn’t want to attach himself to any one woman. This probably comes from seeing his friends fail time and again. His Father and a few others are the only ones he’s known to find loyal wives. He just doesn’t think most women can stay faithful to one guy.
Although he’s hard to push for negative actions once he’s furious watch out! He has trouble controlling his actions when pushed to his limits and has even broken a knuckle punching a wall. If someone he has given his loyalty to abuses it they better be ready for a backlash. Women don’t tend to push his buttons as he doesn’t have high expectations with them anyways. When he makes a commitment to someone they have to return it equally or he’s done. Also if he gets in a desperate situation he may black out. At which point he’s unpredictable.
History:
Xavier grew up with his Father and Mother at Hyphen Hold. His Father was a miner and his Mother was a Journeyman Smith.
Xavier grew up working under his Father. He started learning the skills for mining as a young boy and avidly pursued the craft along with any other challenges his Father tossed his way.
Encouraged to learn all he could of history Xavier learned the teaching songs well. He also questioned the resident Harper about the past and current events. They often held long conversations and became friends. When he was fourteen turns he entered his first major fight. A couple of the Miners where prone to drinking and got rowdy with one of his friends. Suggestions were made, insults exchanged then before anything could be done his friend was getting pounded on by three large men. Xavier had begun to build muscle working but he was just a kid and it was lucky that others intervened. His friend was badly injured and the men weren't reprimanded. Dismayed that his son was already engaging in fights there was a serious heart to heart between Father and son. Xavier began learning to defend himself better from his Father. There was no formal training between them but his Father had learned a few things over the years.
Through the years Xavier continued to work as a miner. He became known for his loyalty and sense of duty. When he was seventeen there was a major cave in. He saved one of the workers from falling debris then rallied them to find their way out. His back was lacerated by falling rock and he had acquired three puncture wounds on his stomach. He led the group and got everyone out successfully, including two too injured to walk. Once safe the young man passed out. He was not allowed to work for several weeks as his back scabbed over and healed and it showed his stomach would heal without complications. When he returned to work the men had a greater respect for him.
As he reached his twenties he was convinced that he would work his life as a miner until a search rider offered to take him. Intrigued he decided he would go and see if being a Dragon Rider was worth giving up his current life.
At Selenitas he learned that Weyr life could be rather interesting. He had always been an inquisitive young man and so he began to learn more of current events as things became heated in the North. As years went on he would delve into the archives searching for more information…always more information.
He impressed to Brown Mirazeth at his first hatching. Meeting the little brown was a greater life-changing event than he anticipated. How had he lived with out Mirazeth before? The brown was a completion of his soul.
As his dragon grew X’vier felt the need to find a form of exercise in order to keep his muscular build. He worked his way around but it wasn’t enough to keep the ex-miner’s muscle from reverting to a lesser form. After trying a variety of things he settled on dance. At first he was skeptical but he enjoyed the challenge and agility one needed to move as these people did. He kept his muscle but it became leaner, agile muscle as he learned to move. He learned dancing could be done anywhere from a gather floor to his Weyr and he came to greatly enjoy it. Now days he dances at a professional level although his female partners tend to change.
Two years after Impressing Mirazeth Thread began to fall. The dragon riders desperately needed Firestone. With much at stake X’vier convinced the others to allow him to be the one to visit Hyphen Hold. He had been thread scored when thread first fell and still carried a healing scar on his thigh. His dragon Mirazeth flew for long hours. Upon reaching the Hold he went straight to his Father and the other men who he had worked with growing up. It took a bit to convince the miners how important it was to mine the Firestone. Finally showing his bandaged thigh and explaining the worse wounds people had already suffered convince the miners to mine Firestone as a top priority. Even with the sudden supply of Firestone coming things did not go well.
The day Shmee impressed Aslath was a blessing to X’vier. She had been young but she was of a different mold than the Selenitas bloodline. He believed they needed new blood, desperately. He never came to regret his beliefs as Shmee formed the Weyr into a better organized place and calmed the holds.
When Fath’s last clutch hatched he was appalled. He could only be thankful his Mirazeth had not been so. He had been eager to help find who did this. Shmee’s disappearance and return had been distressing as well. What where those other Weyr’s up to? He dreaded the next clutch, fearing it would be like the last. But it wasn’t, it was probably the biggest bit of relief he had that year.
Name Mirazeth
color Brown 7b0000
Age 7 Turns
Physical Appearance
Mirazeth is 35 feet, making him a nice large brown. His tail is a little longer than normal and tapers into a wedge shaped end. His muscles are lean and wiry much like a swimmer’s. His Suar colored hide is a rich reddish-brown. He has a rather even tone though in light softer shades can be seen rippling their patterns on his hide. His narrow and long frame may give an appearance of fragility but really he is amazingly flexible. His wings spread is admirable. Most notably is his wing color, which is a darker honey brown. He is a rather graceful dragon.
During his Turns fighting thread he has picked up a number of scars. Mostly they range around his wing span. His tail is another scarred up area with 3 thread scores and what he calls "half a thread" scar. This "half a thread" scar is a small two inch scar on the wedge of his tail.
Personality
Most of the time Mirazeth is laid back and agreeable. He enjoys work almost as much as sunning. He is a very loyal and duty minded dragon and quite reliable in volatile situations. He enjoys physical challenges and will rise for either green or gold. On days off he enjoys having his wings oiled extra good to help stretch the scar tissue.
His Mine tends to pull out his stronger feelings. He is quite protective of his Mine and when his Mine gets into trouble…and he will…Mirazeth will brood over him for days. When his Mine is injured he becomes highly agitated, as if it was his fault his rider got hurt. He will avoid others till his Mine is feeling better. When his Mine makes a strong friendship with others he is willing to include them in his protective scope. His Mine’s emotions tend to affect him strongly. When his Mine is angry he finds it harder to stay calm.
Lust Blue=Passion
Color: Blue #6ADAFF
Gender: Male
Age: Hatchling
Looks to: X'vier
Physical Description: The best description of this blue's physique is 'large.' From the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, he's a very stocky creature, built for an impressive level of stamina, especially for a blue. His size will easily rival smaller browns, and dwarf others of his color. Over-all he's relatively well proportioned, though unlike most salamandyrs, he does not have the slender, stream-lined speed-based build. His speed is severely lacking in comparisons to others of his kind, particularly other blues and greens. His color is a vivid blue, aquatic in appearance, with undertones of paler hues that make it look as though someone is holding a light just beneath his hide. His coloring is pure, spanning the entire length of his body. Only his spots break it up. Dark blue and almost oval-shaped, the individual markings form symmetrical patterns down the line of his back that help him to hide whenever he's in a crowd.
Personality: An insufferable flirt is this blue, with females of any species - not necessarily just other salamandyrs. His preference is to female firelizards, considering how often they fly, and he will be very fond of chasing them - whether they be green or gold. Rarely will he chase female salamandyrs, usually golds, since he has a lot less chance of catching them. It's not that he doesn't like other salamandyrs (quite the contrary, this blue will want to always be cuddled up to a positively delicious green), he simply loathes the idea of committing to one female when he can have as many as he wants. His word choices will often be complimentary and it won't be uncommon for him to totally ignore other males. In fact, for him to speak to another male creature is an excessive compliment; he has no interest in anything he can't Chase, or at the very least, flirt with. What fun are they, after all? This flirtatious streak can lead to him appearing flaky (he's certainly borderline rude in how he ignores everyone else), but to his bonded, he's fiercely possessive. His - no one else's! He claimed first!
