Motivation!

[Ruby]

Piden: Sex
Not emotional contact, not connection, not love. Sex.

Caden: Self
Who is she, anyway? Inquiring minds want to know.

M'kai: Family?
He wants more of them... they seem to disappear with unpleasant frequency.

Tenlie: Self-sacrifice
If everyone around her is happy, SHE is too!

Hinsero: Change
Because things get boring if they stay the same.

T'mund: Power
And knowledge, because knowledge brings power. And absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Serissa: Pleasure
Or maybe she's simply very, very lost.

(feel free to add your chars too!)

T'san: Happiness
This guy hates unhappy things. For the sake of a happy future he's willing to cast aside his laziness on occasion.

Nephele: Power/Family
For the sake of raising a family properly she wants power, whether it be earned through manipulation or skill.

Eikane: Mindmates
As long as his mindmates are relatively content so is he. Generally if they're happy they find a way to make him tolerable too.

Iskierka: Usefulness
Her only purpose in life is to be a useful tool for those that can weild her.

Dy'shi: Self-sacrifice
He likes being near happy people. If that means he needs to give up something in order to make that happen so be it.

Jazheera: Family
Why are they always leaving her behind or betraying her? Secretly she'd love to be reunited with her whole family and go back to the days when everyone was happy.

Ae'on: Healing
Hey, it's what he's good at and what he's actually happy to be doing. Take it away and all he'll have left is his blue nuisance.

R'ril: Pain
Call him attention starved if you want. All he really cares about is if he has a steady supply of 'affection' when he needs it.

[archenstone]

Asharra:Still hates firelizards/mandyrs
Asharra likes being a midwife, doing experimental medical treatments and physical therapy [massage]. She's still not a big fan of dragons/firelizards/salamandyrs. hates having them around her or the infirmary. warning, cheats at arm wrestling

X'vier: Family/Love/casual encouters
The guy isn't getting any younger and has yet to do his family duty. Thats right, he wants to start a family...well maybe no t go that far...but having a baby [or dozen] around would be fun to him. X;vier is always willing for 'casual encounters from beautiful [meaning all] women

V'rael: friends, sailing, plots
He's got a real itch to put his hands on the wheel of a ship and go. He also wants to create a warning system for beach side holds to warn against hurricanes...but as a brownrider does not have the authority to start one.
edit: V'rael does have a thread in the desert where he is practice high geforce moves by himself.....maybe some one could pop in and find him there? A fellow Selenitas or outcast?

[Tashe]

Kaegan: Growth
She wants to be strong for her weyr so it can grow and prosper. Its all she's ever wanted.

E'rro: Usefulness, Home
Without a home he is a stray dog and if he isn't useful... then his life has very little meaning.

Nautic: Emotional/Social contact
He needs people. He wouldn't survive long if he was the last person on Pern.

K'thay: Survival, Family, Castidenloth
He wants to live long enough to find a lovely girl and have a kid. -blunt-

E'iah: Helping, Simplicity
Nothing much to say here. He wants to live his life until he's old and grey, maybe he'll become a shepard when he's too old to Ride any more.

Ithanna: Animals, Healing, Making Ae'on's life a flusterfilled hell
Animals are her life, take them away and everything is a confused mess. Animals she can understand, humans? Not so much.

(reasons prone to change as characters grow)

[Lotty]

K'sel - Independence, Freedom

He is after all something of a universal anarchist. He puts little faith in authority and puts more value into the ability to make his own determinate decisions. It's a double edge sword. Ever wonder how it is K'sel is such a relationship failure? He denies himself the constraints of having to commit to another human being. It took turns after all before a dragon could link themselves to him.

Raebeli - Expressiveness, Human Potential

Obviously being a little bit of an aesthete as she is, the girl has a thing for expressionism. Along the same lines she has a thing for people living up to their potentials and pursuing their dreams and being the best one can possibly be. After all didn't Freud say something along the lines of dreams being the golden road to the mind?

Mi'rah - Logic, Pursuit of Knowledge, Humility

The Greeks felt that happiness was the attainment of as much knowledge of the natural world as possible. Who knows how true that is for humanity, but it does hold true for Mi'rah who just loves learning things. At the same time he believes in absolute modesty. You learn for yourself, not to brag about it.

[Avu]

Ka’aen- change, love (platonic)
