Killed in the Siege of Selenitas
Name: E'ri
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Rank: Bluerider
Physical Appearance: E’ri stands around 5’9”, his pale body fit, but not excessively muscular. His long legs are firm, but not flexible. Fortunately, he doesn’t really need to be flexible in his legs. His fingers, though, are long and make up the flexibility that his legs lack. They are nimble, lithe, and perfect for gliding along keys and gitar strings. They are calloused, but surprisingly gentle despite their roughness.
His oval face is just as pale as the rest of his body from lack of exposure to sunlight. It is crowned with straight black hair that is normally very glossy. However, when his face is sweaty, his hair becomes fairly wavy, giving him a slightly handsome look. His dark eyebrows accentuate his pale tone, and make his blue eyes look much more vibrant than they truly are. It even could make him slightly creepy looking, but he escaped that label by a hair. His nose and lips are fairly large, but they are proportionate enough to his face to look all right.
Personality: E’ri is quiet, more often than not just watching the action from the sidelines. Usually, he has no desire to join in discussions unless they truly interest him. He is very observant, capable of remembering names of people, dragons, and flitters easily. He even remembers names of mere acquaintances, using them in proper places when he talks which makes him sound as sincere as he is.
He is capable of leading, but unless it is teaching music, then he absolutely despises doing so, avoiding it at any costs. He may throw in ideas and suggestions into discussions, but only very rarely. It doesn’t help that E’ri doesn’t trust people easily, especially leaders. He doesn’t even consider people leaders until they have proved themselves capable of doing so. If he doesn’t consider one a leader, he will not admit it directly, but he will hint at it through his behavior. When he does trust people, he is very loyal and protective of them, defending them from any bad words even if they are not around to hear it.
Grudges are not unheard of for E’ri, but he doesn’t often run across situations where he holds them. But when he does, he holds fearsome grudges. This also makes it difficult for him to make friends, for sometimes they offend him unknowingly by doing things that bother him, sometimes so obnoxiously it seems like they do it on purpose.
The few that do somehow become his friends can find that he is actually a kind man. Though he sticks to the shadows, he is friendly and willing to become friends with any who are patient enough to deal with how calm and quiet he is. He is very courteous, knowing how to behave with different kinds of people. This comes from his experience with different kinds of students he’s had to teach, so he is fairly patient with most people.
E’ri is also, to many peoples’ surprise, very romantic. When he falls in love with someone, he loves them more than his own life. He will willingly fight someone if it means protection whoever he loves. He never considers cheating, and all of his relationships have lasted a long time. Currently, he is completely in love with Mal, giving all of this to her alone and no one else.
History: E’ri was born as Elerik, the only child of a drudge woman at Selenitas Hold. Though it has always been a mystery as to who his father was, the question never plagued the boy. If his father didn’t want to bother help raising him, why should he care about the identity? In his eyes, the only person in his life was his mother, though even she was limited to only just teaching him the basic necessities of life. The rest he learned on his own.
Everyone around him learned early on in life that Elerik would grow into being a loner. The lad, when done with his chores, would hole himself up wherever was devoid of people, and taught himself how to play the pipes by ear. He also began to develop his own voice at a young age. Though his soprano voice wasn’t necessarily remarkable, his passion for music was.
Always independent, he asked a visiting rider one day if he would be taken to Harper Hall- he didn’t want to be a drudge when his true calling lay with music. Fortunately for him, this greenrider was a kind man, and took Elerik to Harper Hall, where he was accepted as an apprentice. There, he actually learned the notes that went to music, and the instruments his hold didn’t provide to drudges. He picked it up fast, eager to learn.
When his voice dropped, he truly began to shine as a performer. His rich tenor voice attracted many, and finally accepting him as a truly talented harper, he rose to journeyman quickly. It was also a little after his voice dropped when Thread fell once more. It spoiled the happiness of getting a nice voice, but he was determined to not have it defeat him. He performed and he taught, determined to rise up and become a Master some day.
It did surprise him, though. He sent a fire lizard to ask about his mother, but she was fine. As he had no other people in the world that he worried about, the only bad thing that came out of the Fall was the destruction upon Pern it had, yet his feelings towards the riders were mixed. The warring idiots to the north seemed to care more about themselves than Pern, and the infirm Weyrwoman of Selenitas had not a clue on how to Fly Thread.
However, it was not meant to happen. A Searchrider flew through when he had eighteen Turns on him. Seeing that Elerik was dragon-worthy, the Searchrider asked him to come to Benden to Impress, which he did. He figured a dragon would be nice, and if he failed, he would come back to Harper Hall. Either way, the Search would be a good experience, he decided.
Contrary to his thoughts, Elerik did Impress- a beautiful blue dragon named Bazeth. He became E’ri, and though it ended his harper dreams, he figured he could put his music to other uses in the Weyr. Besides, Bazeth was now more important.
Not long after his weyrlinghood came to a close, he soon fell in love with a greenrider named Mal, and he regards it as to the time when his life changed drastically for the better. Bazeth met her Meriath first, which led them to get to know each other. When Meriath rose in Flight, and E’ri realized he was actually in love with Mal.
A while after meeting Mal, he got the chance at an egg from a clutch that belonged to Lura's green Zirian. From the little clutch, he Impressed blue Nocturne, and loves how both of his bondeds are blue, yet so different in personality.
He welcomed this feeling, eventually becoming weyrmates with her. When she discovered she was pregnant, he was overjoyed. However, he doesn’t know yet that his beloved Mal is not pregnant with only one baby, but with two…
Dragon:
Name: Bazeth
Color: Blue
Age: 10
Physical Appearance: Bazeth is an average-sized blue, with sturdily-built wings perfectly proportionate to his size. His legs are long, but make him appear graceful and slightly delicate. However, don’t let that deceive you. Bazeth is solid muscle, fierce and strong despite his almost dainty appearance. They also suit him well, going well with a tail that matches his legs perfectly.
His hide is a vibrant, ocean blue with light flecks of scars across him from various things. What looks like a darker wave is splashed across one eye, making one almost want to call him Patches or Spot. However, he would be disgruntled if one were to call him that, so no references to that are very much appreciated. His wings are a slightly light than the rest of his body, but blend in well into the darker.
Personality: Bazeth is much more flirtatious than his human partner. It was awkward for E’ri before he found Mal, for it was hard to try and reject any humans flirting when they knew his dragon was with theirs. But now that he has Mal, he enjoys it quite a bit, finally appreciating his dragon’s flirtatiousness. He is also more outgoing, which is something E’ri will probably never get used to. It does not cause many problems, however, because the only human Bazeth will talk to apart from E’ri is Mal.
He also carries the thoughtfulness and caution of E’ri with him. If he senses someone will try to only use him and hurt him, he will politely decline anything to do with them. He is a great thinker, though he has trouble remembering many of his more intelligent thoughts. He is also respectful and kind, paying honor where it is due and does so with politeness.
Since he has fallen in love with Meriath, Bazeth now is starting to learn music. He has even written Meriath a song, one that he hopes will ensure him to catch her during her next Flight. It needed a lot of help to make from E’ri, but he is proud of it and hopes it is good enough for his love.
Flitter:
Name: Nocturne
Color: Blue
Age: 1 Turn
Physical Appearance: Nocturne has never been big in size among blues, but is rather the size of a large green. His wings are short and stout, making him more of a speed creature than endurance. However, he uses this to his advantage in Flights, should the need to Chase a female ever come over him. His short, thicker-than-average tail is not meant to show off, but obviously is destined for practical uses, a balance and rutter in the air.
His hide is a light blue, a little lighter than Bazeth, but not extraordinarily pale. His hide has no extraordinary marks, save for a splash of dark blue across his back. This is his sole means to be individual among the other blues, but sometimes seems to think that little bit of him is just a spot that can’t be cleaned.
Personality: Nocturne is sulky and solemn, almost never caught in usual flitter antics. He is more likely to be found sitting regally on His’ shoulder than sunning with other flitters. Like E’ri, he is fond of the night and darker places. Because of his rare exposure to sun, he is slightly photosensitive, but not to a point where is causes him tremendous pain to be out in the sun.
He is slow to make friends, and so far, the only people who he has truly accepted as people he trusts is E’ri and Mal. Even if another is to simply talk to his bonded, he will protectively latch onto his shoulder and watch the other warily. He is extremely protective around the rare few he considers friends. Even if a person approaches any of his friends too quickly, little Nocturne will be there, scolding the stranger loudly and firmly.
