Name: A'som (Afilasom)
Age: 25
Nameday: 3551.06.19
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: I'm so glad you asked...
Weyr: Western Weyr
Rider Rank: Wingrder
Previous Rank/Craft: Farmer
Physical Description: Pretty. Handsome. Take your pick, either word works. His hair is thick and dark, full of waves that invite fingers to stroke through them. Equally dark eyes are ordinarily filled with mirth. He's in good shape, he smiles quite often and that square jaw of his can take on anything the world sends his way.
Personality: A'som is your friend. No, seriously. He is easy going and laid back and if you need a hand with something, look no further. He's always willing to help out when and where he can. He'd just as easily share a drink with you as help replace the broken wheel on the cart you need to do your job, and at the end of it all, you'd have a friend. He's quick to laugh and travels through life with a sort of casual, comfortable air that can be infectious if you're open to it. He also quick to pick up on the little details and tends to remember the details of things and events long after someone else had put it out of mind.
Which also means that if he's wronged, he will remember and he will remind rhe wrong-doer for as long as there's an argument between them. He wear his emotions openly and is definitely not the sort you'd want as a partner in any sort of game requiring the ability to wear a mask. He's just no good at hiding how he feels!
If you want to get on A'som's good side, pay him good attention. It's honestly that easy. He lives for being in the spotlight and for praise. Tell him he's talented, ply him with food or drink, give him a goodm romp or better yet, all three -- and he's yours. For a while. Low maintenance are not words that will ever suit A'som, nor should they be. He deserves only the best.
Positive Trait List Charming, Helpful, Observant
Negative Trait List Hedonistic, Vain, Dramatic
History: A'som was born fifth in a pack of brothers, and grew up living a good, farming life, full of good food, solid bonds and the occasional wrestling match. Though his father, Luranon, had two wives --Salina and Beela -- there was never any fuss about a trio of parents or which woman was "truly" mother to which son. Blood was blood, rules were rules, and life went on.
Of course, being "little" in a big family meant more of a struggle to get words in, sometimes. A'som's solution to this issue? Demanding attention. As a boy, he learned that he who made the most noise stole the spotlight, and so he earned his family reputation for being dramatic. Rightly so. He learned, though, that drama didn't help to keep the piece, so he also found ways to be a friend and companion to his brothers, very rarely refusing to lend a hand -- or an ear -- when one was needed.
Unless someone even prettier than he was came along. Though the idea of A'som following someone with a pretty smile off a cliff might have been a joke in the family, he nevertheless followed a pretty young woman riding Search back to Benden where he found Durranth. Even in the midst of all those eager young bodies -- one or two of whom had led him right to the brink of expulsion from Candidacy -- no one shone brighter the brown dragon who claimed A'som as his own.
Benden's rules, however, were ultimately not a fit for the pair, and by mutual agreement, A'som and Durranth headed home. Back to the farm and the family, and four other dragons.
Just in time for Thread to make it's terrible return. In the resulting discussion -- debate -- argument about where the dragonriding brothers would go, to lend their aid in fighting the Enemy, A'som sided with L'sil. Western, being newer and still organizing, needed more help and more dragons to come to their aid. The idea of settling somewhere less set in stone, more likely to accept a pair who didn't walk in Weyrbound lockstep also, obviously, held it's appeal.
And so they went.
Other: Anything else you want to add?
DRAGON
Name: Durranth
Age: 9
Color: Brown
Size: 80'
Physical Description: Though on the larger size for a bronze, Durranth's bulk doesn't quite match. His wings, however, do seem a little large for his size and lend him a little extra stamina when it comes to fighting Thread and lasting through a Flight.
Personality: Durranth is a workhorse. He is reliable and focused and takes his duties very seriously. There can be games and other distractions when the work of the day is done. Yes, he understands that life requires variety and engagement, butn all things in their time and place. Patient and methodical, he is the perfect balance to his sometimes-excitable and distractable rider.
But in one thing, the pair are 100% alike. Durranth adores physical contact. A stroke against his hide, a pat on the nose, all of that makes his hearts sing. Though he is more than capable of sleeping alone, he would prefer company, and when his rider is not likewise occupied, it is not uncommon for A'som to forgo the comfort of his bed for the closeness that comes with curling up against his dragon's chest.
