[Rider] J'er of blue Cyliodath [Approved]

[Spockat]

Name: J'er, formerly Jeren
Age: 51
Nameday: 3524.12.08
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Weyr: High Reaches
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Vintner

Physical Description:
Moderately tall J'er doesn't stand out when it comes to height. He's lean with sloped shoulders, with a look that says I'm eavesdropping. He probably is. His soot colored hair is long enough to be in the way of his eyes, the back staying finely trimmed. He takes great pride in its appearance, spending more time on those short follicles than the rest of his grooming put together.

At a glance J'er looks.. unfriendly. He keeps his jaw tense and teeth grit together looking like he'd rather be anywhere than where he currently is. The fact he constantly has his arms crossed doesn't really do him any favors either. He has very heavy shadow on his face, he refuses to commit to growing a beard (even if it grows in so thickly). It grants him an unkemptness to his appearance.

He prefers fine clothes and the more he needs to pay for it the better. He enjoys rich colors particularly in maroon and deep purple. The latest colors and trends fascinate him, and he doe's his best to keep up with them. He is solemn seen without a shawl draped across his shoulders, as he's always complains he's cold.

Personality: J'er is no nonsense and a rather proud man. He's worked hard so far in his life and is quite happy with how things turned out for him. He has no issues in seeing his own self worth (and could maybe use being pulled down a few pegs). He has difficulty seeing others being passionless, and looks down upon them. No matter what drives someone be it journey, art, trade, anything - the people he gets along with best are those who are self disciplined or rather sure of themselves.

J'er enjoys the company of others, but only so long he has a clear exit. Socialization is a quick spring rather than a marathon for him. He has no qualms about needing to speak with a stranger and offering them a drink. Shy is not word anywhere in his vocabulary, its terrible for business. He has a very sympathetic listening ear for those in need of it, hr just happens to "accidentally" eavesdrop. Often.

He has a terrible tendency to 'overhear' things. Working with and serving alcohol so long makes loose lips say interesting things, so his ears are ever trained. He never uses this information, so much speculates for his own amusement. He's nosy - and often outs himself into situations where its more likely for him to hear juicer tidbits.

J'er is used to doing as he pleases. He's grows irritable when he's told how to do something or what to do just to throw their weight around. His fuse is short with this. He has no issues raising his voice and blustering over someone trying to make his life difficult. However, he's not opposed to learning new ways to do things - he just needs to see the logic of it.

Positive Trait List Confident, Hardworking, Passionate
Negative Trait List Shortfused, Nosy, Stuckup

History: J'er was born to a whiterider mother and a winemaker father. Before J'er's life attached to his lovely blue, he learned his family's craft. He took to the work rather well, and had an eye for the bottles and labels that his family chose to use.

Even though he worked quite hard, he never quite received much approval from his father. He was the only child, a son at that, and it seemed to rile his father up whenever he got something wrong - as if it was out of spite or stupidity. His mother, in all her infinite gentleness hoped J'er wouldn't let those words linger in his heart. How she put up with that man all those years, out drinking and fooling - J'er couldn't tell you!

He saw much of Pern from the back of a caravan at this time, lugging their wares and supplying taverns all over.He's broke a few hearts, had his broken in turn - and preferring feeling nomadic. His family frequently traveled in groups, Wa'ren among them now and again. Sometimes turns passed between laying eyes on one another, but it always felt good to see a friendly face. Even if J'er had to shake his head when asked about the brownrider's brother. On such an occasion he received a firelizard from Wa'ren, hatching into a blue he named Sharptooth.

On a trip to High Reaches for business (and mostly to cheer on one of his cousins Standing), he sat to watch a hatching. Little did he know his life was ready to change forever with a small, splotchy egg that hatched. A delicate little blue did his best to climb into the stands, keening pitfully. Gray with exertion it whimpered J'er darling, how dare you be so far off from your Cyliodath! The voice in his skull boomed. J'er, speechless for once, could only marvel at the creature chastising him. Silently tearful - emotionally swept away with feeling the dragon's agitation and anxiety bloom into warmth.

Even if he didn't have candidate lessons under his belt, J'er tucked into his weyrling lessons with gusto. He was very much a teacher's pet, and quite eager to not make a fool of himself and somehow make himself worthy to Cyliodath.

After graduation, he chose to be unaffiliated. He returned to his family, finding he missed their life together. He took to his own trading routes and companions. Until thread shown itself once more. He chose to return to High Reaches. The world can live without one of his trade for favor of another plume of fire in the skies.

Other: Mention of Wa'ren used with permission from Prism Shine, as J'er is cast as some sort of old flame. May the dice be ever in his irritable favor.

DRAGON
Name: Cyliodath
Age: 22
Color: Blue
Size: 33'
Physical Description: Cyliodath is large for a blue, pushing the maximum size for his rank. Despite this he rather thin and wispy. His legs are long and lean. His tail is thin whip, constantly flicking when he's thinking. Cyliodath is well muscled with small wings that fold quite fan-like onto his back. He's unfurling them any time he's irritable in some kind of attempt to puff himself up.

Cyliodaths head is thin and has a rather pointed snout. It sits on a long, graceful neck giving him a lovely silhouette. His headknobs are large and nearly swooping. Luck has spared him from serious injury, a few scored spots have healed, breaking the pattern on his lovely hide. Vain about his appearance, he is incredibly self conscious of this.

Cyliodath is a dragon of movement. He's never seen without drumming his paws or tossing his head. He has quite a difficulty sitting still, even when trying to rest in the ledges. He needs to sit up, or arrange his wings this way and that. He never seems to tire from his restless fidgeting.

Personality: Cyliodath is a bit of a prickly dragon. He's hard to please even when it comes to himself. He's rarely satisfied with things he accomplishes and is overly harsh when it comes to self critique. He thinks he can always fly faster - push himself harder. He is tempered by J'er's own confidence.

Cyliodath is reserved in his affection. Very few receive warmth from him, and should treasure this rare gift. He doesn't take to others easily, and finds himself at a loss on how to relate to others. He often doesn't feel like he belongs, even if its mostly in his own head. He sees a father figure in the white J'er's mother rides, and enjoys his easy company.

This blue feels like he needs to be in control. He likes things to go according to plan. Unexpected things throw him terribly off. Even something as small as an uninvited guest to breakfast.He needs to reconfigure in to ease his anxieties. J'er easily soothes his dragon with his social graces. Its much less scary when someone is taking care of it for you.

Mr Cheri

"Brewer" is not a craft. "Vintner" is a craft. He can have specialized in brewing different alcoholic beverages. I know we have had people put down things like 'assassin' or whatnot, but they would properly have been courtesans, for example.

Otherwise he's fine.

Got it! It should all be edited now :3
