Ranthian

[Zephyr]

Name: Ranthian
Age: Seven Turns
Born: January 22nd, 3016
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Unknown
Rank: Weyrbrat

Physical Appearance

He's pretty average for a kid, as far as looks go. He's probably a little above average in height for his age, but nothing terribly noticeable. He definitely has the potential to be pretty tall, just look at who his dad is. Right now there isn't anything overly special about him. He's fair skinned with the possibility of tanning pretty well. He's got a spattering of freckles, not too many though and mainly focused on his face and neck. His eyes are almost a slate blue color; undeniably blue, but edging on hazel. His hair is brown and kept a little longer, down to his ears, but not too long.

As far as dress goes, Ranthian usually dresses for comfort above all else. He's a kid, so dressing for anything else is just stupid and kinda pointless. He knows he's going to be getting dirty most of the time and he knows it's kinda pointless to wear anything fancy unless he absolutely needs to, because it's going to get dirty. He'll dress nicely if he's /told/ to, but he would usually prefer not to.

Personality

As far as children go, Ranthian is an undeniably good kid. He's quiet most of the time, preferring to listen and watch over talking. He's also pretty easy going. He's quick to make friends because almost anyone can get along with him, and if someone doesn't really get along with him, well, he isn't going to stress over it. He'll surely have enough friends that the few people who can't stand him won't make a difference anyway.

He's also extremely tolerant of authority figures. He can lead. Given the chance, he's actually pretty good at staying calm in a crisis and knowing what to do to get things done...it's just, he can deal with being ordered around. Ranthian's mom got lucky with this one. He does what he's told, most of the time without question because he knows his place in the world. He's a kid. He's supposed to do as he's told and respect his parents. In his case, parent. He's a giant mama's boy. Always had been. Since his mother had to raise him alone with the aid of the creche workers, of course he'd get close to her.

It's difficult to rile him up enough to actually piss him off. He has a pretty long fuse and is tolerant of most stupidity on others' parts. That said, difficult is not impossible. He has his berserk buttons. One of them being saying anything bad about his mother, or if you've hurt her in any way. Because while he's loving, caring and usually pretty tolerant and easy going, he has a temper on him, and it's odd that such a quiet boy can turn into a raging monster. Because, given the proper motivation, he will. He can be disrespectful, loud and rude when he's angry.

Just don't expect to see him this way, because you'll be waiting a very long time unless you know what pisses him off.

History

3016-3019

Ranthian's mom was Myranda of green Kiniath and his father is K'ian of bronze Romeoth. Apparently they don't screen riders for intelligence before they're searched, because Romeoth chased Kiniath during her maiden flight and won; K'ian and Myranda spent the night together...not sleeping. Anyway, Myranda didn't between afterwards. Maybe she missed that lesson. K'ian didn't think to make her, after all...he was used to girls knowing what to do after a flight.

Not long after this, K'ian was sent to Selenitas with the other wastelanders and nine months later, Ranthian was born. Despite being kinda stupid, Myranda was a good mother in all the ways that mattered. She and Kiniath weren't fighting material, so they didn't do quite as much as the other pairs. That meant she had more time for her son. Ranthian grew to adore his mother, and he never quite missed his father the way any other kid would. Why did he need one? He had a mother who adored and spoiled him. He even defended her when people called her stupid.

3019-Present

Unfortunately, this wasn't to last. In 3019 when Ranthian was three, his mother was killed in the war. She really shouldn't have been fighting, you know...because she was stupid. But she was trying to prove that she wasn't and...got killed in the process.

It's odd, that a child can get loss. But in the massive chaos of the war, and merging of the weyrs, little Ranthian was misplaced. No one knew where his mother was, or who his father had been, so he was basically stuck in the creche for a few years, kinda forgotten about until August of 3023 when someone finally realized they knew who his father was.

By this point, the kid was seven. He wasn't quite old enough to live without a parent, and his father lived in Selenitas. So, the boy was shipped to live with his father in the southern weyr. Because while the creche was accustomed to dealing with forgotten and abandoned kids, Ce'thian was a dick and didn't want Inverness to have to deal with K'ian's kid.

K'ian wasn't totally unused to having a child by this point. He had Inanae with Kaegan and while he had been awkward with fatherhood at first, he had gotten a lot better. Still, having a kid you didn't know you had literally dropped off on your step is a little disorienting. It doesn't help matters that the kid seems to want nothing to do with him.

Indeed, Ranthian wasn't a fan of K'ian at all. He halfway blamed his father for his mother's death, because if K'ian had been around, Myranda would still be stupid, but at least she would have had someone to look out for her. He also blamed the man for leaving in the first place. Not that K'ian had known he was going to be a dad.

At least he had a half sister to dote on and her brother, who was kinda cool anyway to play with and do guy stuff. Plus, Inanae's mom was totally badass, and Ranthian had always seemed to like female role models more than male...this is probably because he's just never had one before.
