Name:
N'hil (from Nerahil)
Age:
29
Nameday:
3547.06.19

Sex:
Male
Sexual Orientation:
Pansexual

Weyr:
High Reaches
Rider Rank:
Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft:
Kitchens Worker

Physical Description:
N'hil stands at about 6'2" tall, lithe and toned, at least well-muscled from years of dragonriding. He tends to look more androgynous, keeping dark, curling hair long, blue eyes standing out against tanned and weathered skin. Freckles dot across the bridge of his nose and up the sides of his cheeks, accenting his looks. Those eyes are an upturned almond shape, shown off by long lashes, and often very calm. His only slightly full rose lips are often in a soft smile, his strong jaw also soft. With narrower shoulders and slightly stronger hips, he tends towards more natural-seeming clothes, in browns and sometimes more yellowed-olive tones.

Personality:
Sitting around and doing nothing has never been N'hil's strong point. He prefers to be on his feet with his hands deep in the work. As long as he's allowed to explore and learn, he picks up quickly, especially with more physical or mechanical labors. It means that he often has 20 projects going at once on rest days, and is involved with learning more about wing drills and patterns, and threadfall, during his workdays, devoted to his wing and work. However, finishing any of these projects is unlikely. N'hil can often get bored if left to his own devices. He's not the sort to really attach to one thing for too long, more likely to swing between project to project once he's about half-way done with it. It can also lead to some daydreaming when he should be paying attention...especially if he's gone through something quite a few times.

Cheerful and good-natured as a whole, N'hil is someone that people can feel welcome around. He's always willing to chatter at whoever so happens to be around him at any given time, a smile ready for any person who so happens to catch his eye. He's also quick to flirt and spend intimate time with people, though he's not often given to stay for too long. He has some issues with commitment that likely stems from his tendency towards boredom. The only solid commitment he's ever made was to their Wing, to Merali, and to Svallinth. He might be completely pleasant, but the second things get serious with other people, N'hil is known to balk and shy away, kind of keeping his distance from the person until things have 'blown over'.

It's not terribly difficult to say that N'hil is good at going with the flow. The physical risk is welcome, and he seems to have the ability to adjust his mindset to focus on whatever it may be that comes next. Even in threadfall, when stress is often at its highest? N'hil can be seen with his attention taken on the fall, and on the patterns. Best to stay calm and help where he can, right? However, this can mean that N'hil takes risks that aren't often necessary. He has a bit of a desire to see if he can push his limits and try things that might not be conventional. It can sometimes frustrate others, since he likes putting himself smack in the middle of these dangerous situations.

Positive Trait List
Practical, Optimistic, Cool with Pressure
Negative Trait List
Bored, Commitment issues, Risk-taker

History:
Nerahil honestly hadn't thought his life would amount to much by the time he was old enough to think of such things. The son of two generations of Kitchens workers in HR? Please. He spent most of his life in the caverns, learning the system and how High Reaches worked, preparing food for people, riders, feasts, whatever came along. He'd watched person after person come through the weyr and really just enjoyed the stories. After all, he wasn't anything terribly special, was he? Not a Crafter or a Candidate. He was just Nerahil. He at least had a companion through all this.

She was the one he was head over heels for from a time shortly before he was of age in Pernese terms. He couldn't help it! They'd grown up together and had a delightful chemistry that Nerahil rather enjoyed. He wasn't much for being tired down, but he WAS interested in trying to make sure she would be his for as long as he could. He pursued her, and eventually managed to get in to a relationship with Merali. She quickly managed to work past Nerahil's boundaries, and quickly became the centre of his life...at least until something strange happened.

Honestly, Nerahil never really sat in the stands for Clutches. He knew well the chances of a Rider Impressing from the stands were low, and so it was with reluctance that he accompanied Merali to sit and watch one of Fianth's clutches being born. From his spot lower in the stands, he was antsy, rather thinking that he was missing out on prep work, but they'd gotten permission to watch just this once. He at least managed to keep his eyes on the Sands for the most part, only to see something he'd never thought would come his way. It was a trumpeting little Bronze. His heart...Hearts? were beating faster, and he couldn't make sense of the warmth, love, and delight he was feeling. That was when the bright voice met his ears.

Precious Nerahil Mine, come down to your Svallinth! I have been waiting for you, and only you! Come and play! Breathless, he stumbled from the stands to the Sands to embrace the huge bronze hatchling, enveloping him in his arms. A sharding Kitchens Worker Impressing a Bronze...How would this go over? It hardly mattered though...With Svallinth right beside him, N'hil could do anything.

Their time in Weyrlinghood seemed to suit N'hil, the young man diligent and practical, capable of figuring out solutions to odd problems, eager to study and learn. He was READY for the responsibility that being a Bronzerider brought. Upon Graduation, he would continue to prove himself in the hard work for his Wing, and for the Weyr. No matter where he stood, N'hil was MORE than ready to devote himself as a Threadfighter...and to Merali, who'd actually become a Rider in the same clutch as he had.

Other: Anything else you want to add

DRAGON

Name:
Svallinth
Age:
6 turns
Color:
Bronze
Size:
87'

Physical Description:
Middling large for a bronze, Svallinth is almost all tail and wings. His wide wingspan allows for power in flight, though less in the way of maneuverability, since he's a bit bulky. His hide confused some people when he was born, a pale bronze that seems almost golden in color. With brown and orange spotting all over him, looking almost like sunlight through water if it weren't for the color. His eyes are almost always blue or violet, never really straying in to the warmer tones unless necessary.

Personality:
Hello, yes hi! Svallinth is here! Bright, sunny, and playful, the Bronze is always looking for something more interesting and fun to do. After all, life is but a big stage, and he is certainly one of the brightest star players you could EVER want to look at! The Bronze has no real desire to take anything slow or lazy. It's gotta be fast paced and fast times! Risk, Excitement, PLAY! It can sometimes be troublesome to other dragons, but when up in the Sky for Threadfall, that's when he's so terribly lucky to have his N'hil!

He is a hopeless romantic, and spends a lot of time daydreaming about that perfect love that he's SURE will come his way. He likes to flatter other pretty ladies around him, and will likely never want for company, even if he is hopeful to only have a ONE that he can devote all his time and attention to. He knows that he has duties to attend, but they're so terribly BORING! The bronze isn't very good with boring unless he's something to keep his attention, and sometimes will drift off in to thought instead of being pressed in one direction or another. Poetic, dreamy, and sweet, he might be, but all the same, he's no particular drive to be the social climber of High Reaches.

Fortunately, he's nowhere near lazy, with boundless energy that he and His often devote to study even if he's no particular drive to. It's something to get his excitement out! Something to focus on, even when he wants to simply daydream. He has to move and shake it, so he can actually sleep at night! Sometimes that can be a serious problem for him. His energy can lend itself to Svallinth being a chatterbox though, often unable to stop talking even when it's obvious that others around him want him to stop....Whoops.

Positive Traits: Playful, Romantic, Energetic
Negative Traits: Risk Taker, Easily Bored, Chatterbox
