Name:
Tiris {T'ris}
Pronunciation:
Tie - rr (kinda like grr without the g) - is
Age:
20 Turns
Season Born In:
Mid-Spring
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Bisexual {Female Preference}
Appearance:
Tiris is a very tall, and skinny young man. He is 6'3" and weights 160 pounds. Even though he's so tall and skinny, he's got muscles. He's no weakling, but since he prefers to avoid confrontations, he doesn't show his muscles off for any reason. Except for one. The only time he really proves he's got muscles, is when he is defending those who are too weak to defend themselves, or are out numbered. Even then, he usually regrets doing so, for some reason or another.
Tiris has deep, bright, soulful brown eyes, and is very expressive. He's not afraid to show what he's feeling. He has light brown hair that seems to just lay there. His hair is chin length, but looks really clean, and neat. Despite the fact that he usually looks like he just rolled out of bed. Even though all of his clothes are all wrinkled, and almost never folded, they're really clean. This is because he wants to make sure he's ready for just about anything.
Tiris' clothes are normally dark colors. The only exception to this is his dress clothes. His dress clothes consist of white shirts, and soft, comfortable, leather pants. He also owns a really nice pair of leather boots that he has set aside, and wears only with his dress clothes. Other wise he wears dark clothing that is actually really comfortable. These clothes are very durable, one of the many things that makes them appeal to Tiris.
Personality:
Tiris is a very, very sweet man. He cares about everyone, and everything. Well, almost anyways. The one thing he can't stand, are bullies. Anyone who picks on people, or creatures smaller, or weaker than themselves, is an enemy in his eyes. Even though he prefers the diplomatic approach, he isn't afraid to throw his weight around when it comes to standing up for those who are unable to stand up for themselves. Helping others is what he lives for, and what makes him happiest.
Tiris is a very studious, and diligent person. He's hardworking, and dedicated in everything he does. He also likes to read, and swim. Those are his favorite past times, but he doesn't get upset when he can't do either of them. It just makes him work harder so he has more time for the two activities that help calm him down. He's very skilled with his hands, and likes to make things with them. Since his father was a woodcrafter, and his mother was a weaver, he's had a lot of practice with his hands.
Tiris prefers to work with wood than with cloth. Though, instead of spending the marks to either get new ones, or get his clothes fixed by some weaver he knows nothing about, he patches his own clothing. He likes to make things for other people, and will sit some where, and work with some wood, and if, or when, someone asks him, he'll either carve, or sew them something. He doesn't like to brag, and is actually very soft spoken. Some people have even said he's go the patience of a saint.
Tiris is very good with kids, and has even started to teach a few of them how to make things out of wood, or how to make cloth jewelry for themselves, or whom ever they wished to give the finished product to. He is also quite playful, and loves to play games. He also has a nasty habit of forgetting where he put things. Because of this, he will often make himself notes...though...on more than one occasion he's lost those too. It's not that he's stupid, cause he really is a brilliant person. It's because he will start working on something, then get completely distracted, and forget he was working on something in the first place.

Location:

History:
Tiris' was visiting his aunt and uncle, and his older cousin because his parents had their hands full with his older brother and sister. So Tiris was sent to spend the rest of the fall and winter with his mother's sister, and her family. He got to see what it was like to be a trader, and have to move from place to place. He didn't really like it at first, but knew no matter how much he complained, he couldn't go back home until spring. He did get along with his cousin, and was starting to enjoy the time they got to spend away from work so that Ninalin could try to teach him how to be an effective trader.
Tiris was actually starting to enjoy the time he got to spend with his aunt and her family when they arrived at Trelis Weyr. They were there to buy some supplies, and this was actually Tiris' first time in a Weyr. So he had asked his aunt if him and Ninalin could look around, or more or less, show him around. Ninalin had been to the Weyr, and many others, a few times, so he knew quite a few interesting places to show Tiris. The first place he was taken to, was the hatching sands, so that Tiris could see what a dragon egg looked like.
Tiris and his cousin were on the way to the sands when they were stopped by a blue rider and his dragon. Neither of them really understood why they were being asked questions about what they knew of dragons, but they answered anyways. After asking them about a hundred questions, that's what it felt like anyways, the rider finally told them why he had stopped them. Neither of them could believe their ears. Tiris had just been searched out by this man's dragon. Ninalin had ran back to tell his parents what had happened. They immediately came to see for themselves.
Tiris had to make the decision to either stay in the Weyr as a candidate, or leave with his family, and go back to trying to become an apprentice. Some would say that would be an easy decision, but for Tiris, it wasn't. He had to decide between his family, or a potential chance to find a life partner in one of the hatchlings. Eventually though, he decided to stay, and sent a letter back to his parents letting them know what had happened. He was happy when his family sent a reply, saying that they were happy for him, and wanted him to let them know as soon as anything happened.
Tiris has been living in Trelis for a few weeks now, and so far is enjoying himself. He especially enjoys the fact that he gets to see dragons every day. Even though he's seen more than a few of the large creatures up close, they still manage to impress him, and make him stare at them in awe. He hasn't yet had the chance to experience a lesson as a candidate, but he is eagerly awaiting his chance. For some strange reason he has the notion that by doing everything just right, he has a better chance at impressing one of the creatures during the next hatching...though...that seems quite a ways away.

Name:
Buster
Pronunciation:
Bust - er
Age:
5 Turns
Type:
Firelizard
Rank:
Brown
Size:
30in.
Color Codes:
Body: DEB887 Burly Wood
Wings: FFF8DC Corn Silk
Underside: A0522D Sienna
Feet Markings: CD853F Peru
Personality:
Buster is a very relaxed flit, almost to the point of being lazy. He's still a hard worker, just...very....tempermental about when he starts working. It's not easy to wake this large brown in the morning, nor is it always a good idea. If you wake him up with food either near by, or with a promise to get him food, then he'll get up, Other wise he'll just complain and then fall back to sleep. He's more lively around the after noon, as long as it's after ten thirty in the morning, he's active.
Buster almost always falls asleep right at nine at night. He is a very mean flit whenever his sleep is interrupted, or he isn't allowed to go to sleep when he feels he is supposed to. Despite all of his "issues" he is a very lovable firelizard. He is also pretty protective of Tiris and Max, or in other words, his family. The one thing he is possessive of his is food. Never, I repeat NEVER try to take this firelizards food away from him. If you do, then you're looking for your fingers to get taken off. Well, mostly taken off.
Appearance:
Buster is a very large brown, with very large wings. He is very well muscled, and he needs to be, he's tad over weight. So he needs all the strength he can get to keep him in the air. He is usually seen with his tail wrapped around Tiris' neck, and sitting on the young man's shoulder. He looks very proud while sitting on His' shoulder. With his large wings tucked neatly at his sides, and his sharp claws holding on to the young man's shirt.
Buster is a burly wood in color, that fades to sienna around his underside. His wings are the color of corn silk, while the markings on his feet look like Peru colored socks. He has these strange "socks" on all of his claws and legs. They come up to about his knees. This isn't a very "normal" looking firelizard to say the least. In all though he does look very well put together. He is well proportioned, except for his wings and his belly. His wings are exceptionally large, and so is his stomach.

Name:
Max
Pronunciation:
Max
Age:
3 Turns
Type:
Firelizard
Rank:
Brown
Size:
24in.
Color Codes:
Body: B77941 Light Chocolate
Wings: D2B48C Tan
Underside: 8B4513 Dark Chocolate
Tiger Stripes: F5DEB3 Wheat
Personality:
Max is a very spunky firelizard. He is also quite the talker. He'll sit for hours on end, just talking to anyone, or anything, that will listen to him. He's a very hard worker, and lives to please Tiris. He likes making the young man happy, and also likes to listen while he reads stories to his firelizards. He also has a very wild imagination, and can amuse himself for HOURS with nothing but a rock, and his imagination. He can also be quite creative in the way he works.
Despite his wild imagination, Max is a very diligent worker. Whenever he is given a task, he completes it without distraction. Which is very surprising given the fact that it doesn't usually take much to distract him. He doesn't like food as much as Buster, and is more willing to share than the larger flit. In other words, he has better manners, and social skills. Where as the larger brown would rather take someone's fingers off for food, Max would rather share it with others.
Appearance:
Max is a tiny brown firelizard, with a big heart. Where as Buster has extra long wings, Max has an extra long tail. Which comes in pretty hand given the fact that he likes to sit on Tiris' head with his tail wrapped around one of the boy's ears. Tiris isn't sure where the flit got the idea, but doesn't really mind it, which makes him a very happy firelizard. He keeps his wings loosely at his side, and when it isn't wrapped around Tiris' ear, he keeps his long tail wrapped neatly around his legs.
Max is a light chocolate in color, that turns to a dark chocolate around his underside. His wings are actually a tan in color, which stands out quite nicely against his chocolate hide. He has wheat colored tiger stripes that start at the top of his head, and end at the tip of his extra long tail. His stripes are very bright against the chocolate color of his hide. This is what usually helps people remember which one of Tiris' firelizards he is since Buster has "socks".
Dragon
Opal Widelmath
Pronunciation: Wih-dell-math
Rank: Opal
Size: 23 Feet
Color Codes:
Base: E9E6D1
Marking 1: 7E6E98
Marking 2: 91AF8B
Marking 3: 59637C
Appearance:
Widelmath is a bit of an oddity. While on the smaller side of the size scale for opals, he often appears larger than he brethren. It could be, perhaps, because his legs and neck are so abnormally long. In fact, all his libs are long, even his wings and tail. His body, however, is a very normal size, making it look completely out of proportion with the rest of him. His muscle mass is smaller than average, and he will have to work hard to keep up with the other dragons in the sky, but on the ground this guy will excell. Long legs make him quick and almost graceful on the ground... at least when he's not being an absolute clutz!
Like most opals, his hide has a variety of colours, though they tends towards the cooler colours. A hide of off-white makes up majority of his colouring. His front right and back left legs are a soft, mossy green, while the other legs are a deep grey-blue. the two colours appear again on his tail, and face. His belly, and the hand section of his wings are a soft purple, which also appears in a stripe on his muzzle. All three colours appear on a band on the primary wing finger of each wing.
Personality:
Widelmath always thinks something is wrong with him. Its actually a fear. Is that leg longer than this one? Is that a new spot on his hide? Does his tail look funny to you? Maybe he's sick! Despite his fear of being unwell, he's actually an incredibly smart dragon, especially when it comes to injuries. It seems he has a natural born talent for telling what's wrong with others and can be a great asset when it comes to dealing with injured dragons. He's a bit nervous, especially around females that he likes, and he has no idea how to flirt. When it comes to trying new things, Widelmath will likely never be the first one to jump in and try (it might be dangerous you know!) and he tends to ere on the cautious side.
Mind-Voice:
Eep! I-I-Is that a new stripe? Am I going to d-die?!
Widelmath's voice is, in the best of times, a bit shaky. It's almost as if he's constantly afraid of something, and it shows in the way he speaks. It can be a rather frantic sound at times, and its no surprise to hear it get louder and louder as he gets more upset. Even his rider will likely want to tune him out now and again, just to escape the sheer volume.
Why:
There's nothing wrong with me... is there? Just because I'm a little nervous... okay a lot nervous... doesn't mean I can't do great things... I just need a little help. I feel like you want to protect others... well I'm an 'others' aren't I? Maybe one day I'll be able to help you too.
