Name: Vitryx

Nameday: 3547.05.01
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: Harper/Composer, Dance & Defense
Rank: Journeyman
Location: Western Weyr
Physical Description: Vitryx is 6’3” and very slender, usually carrying himself with an elegant, straight-backed posture. The way he moves is quite graceful, wasting little energy and seeming almost rehearsed, one movement flowing smoothly into the next. It’s a combined side effect of his shyness causing him to be very aware of his actions and his deeply-ingrained Harper training in dance and swordplay manifesting itself. He has silky golden blond hair cut short in the front and left at shoulder length in the back, and his eyes are dark blue.
Personality: Vitryx is very clean and health-conscious, always careful with what he eats, his sleep schedule, and how hard he works, and doesn’t mind cleaning up after others for the comfort of all. He can appear cold to those who aren’t familiar with him, but it’s largely due to his physicality: straight-backed, dignified, and gracefully poised in his movements. In reality, he is quite shy and hides behind that demure exterior, but when he’s ready to open up to someone, they will find that he’s very warm-hearted and speaks relatively simply for someone with his education—or perhaps it’s the soft tone and slight lisp that can make it seem so.
He thinks of everyone in the Weyr as an extended family and will not hesitate to assist when he sees someone in need. He’s never pushy about it and will respect those who don’t see him in the same light he does them, but it rankles him terribly if he knows he could have solved that problem. If his efforts are welcome, he puts his all into it. In any case, when he has set an achievable goal for himself, he will stick to it, even if progress is very slow or difficult, until he has reached it. He doesn’t experience burnout in the usual sense, but he does feel a great sense of loss after a particularly long or trying project, a what now? that eats away at him and makes daily life a frustrating struggle until he can find something else to fill the void.
In his caring deeply for others and penchant for sticking to goals, he has potential to find himself in unhealthy relationships, though for a long time he was luckily spared. But now, in a Weyr full of all types and away from home and childhood friends and acquaintances who respect him, the doors are wide open for other sorts of people to step through, knowingly or not.
Positive Trait List Warm, goal-oriented, committer
Negative Trait List Shy, easily frustrated, easy mark
History: Vitryx was born outside of any major holding, but all of his earliest memories are of Fort Hold. He was raised by his parents Vilsadryx and Asetla to appreciate the good life they had there, never to take it for granted. Though they were far from well-to-do, he had many good things to appreciate—two parents, a brother, friends, health and sustenance, an education in music, dance and swordplay at Harper Hall—and more. He was very happy, yet one essential thing seemed out of his grasp: Kainna.
She’d always been around as long as he could remember, had always been his friend, but there came a day when his feelings for her crossed a threshhold and became something far more poignant. When he asked them about it, his mother was evasive but seemed pleased, and his father was amused. “Ask us again next Turnover,” they said. So he waited until Turnover, and asked again… and was told to wait to ask again at the next Turnover. Their answer on the third attempt surprised him, and he kept it to himself for yet another turn before finally confessing to Kainna. It… did not go well.
Even Kainna herself, as she admitted much later, wasn’t sure why she’d turned him down, but after what seemed like another lifetime of waiting had passed, she confessed her own feelings for him. It was the misery of losing her parents that finally pushed Kainna to open up to Vitryx the way he’d been quietly hoping she would, though it pained him that it happened under the saddest possible circumstances. They were “together” for a short, sweet time, but came to realize that though their feelings for each other were very strong, they didn’t mean what the young pair thought they should. Vitryx still bears a powerful affection for Kainna and vice versa, but while what they have isn’t exactly a sibling relationship, it is completely platonic in nature.
Vitryx earned his Journeyman’s knot at twenty-one and stayed on at the Hall as a tutor, occasionally selling his personal compositions to performers and other interested parties who passed through Fort. Less than a turn later, Kainna, who had left Harper Hall after her parents’ passing to become a Healer, was Searched and left for Western Weyr to get herself a dragon. He never understood why she wanted to go so badly (she could be alarmingly spontaneous at times), but he supported her anyway and went about his business, trusting that she would be safe and would return eventually.
Life was fine until Thread rained down on the land, seemingly out of nowhere. Everything was a chaotic mess, fugitives and Searchriders both swarming the Hold as the Pernese attempted to regain control over their world. When he and his brother were eventually approached by a rider and dragon from Western Weyr, Vitryx was ready to go. Kainna was already there, and besides—what use were musical notes on paper anymore? It was as if everyone had been somehow transported to a brand new world of danger and insecurity. He brought his sword with him, though it would sit in his personal trunk untouched for most of his time in the Weyr, as a sign of his readiness to serve.
