Character

I'en; original name Iyen

Rank

Wingrider, possible Search Rider

Gender

Male

Age

39

Appearance

At five feet and eight inches, it's easy for I'en to blend into the crowd. The only thing that stands out are his eyes: dark, vibrant blue, they're always intently focused on something and when he was younger was perhaps his most alluring feature. Numerous wrinkles surround the sockets that are only getting worse with age, and though it's hard to tell, streaks of gray are found in his hair.

His facial features are long and well-defined. His nose, once a graceful slope, has been broken several times and bent slightly out of shape. His jaw slopes in and his chin juts out slightly.

I'en's hair, when washed and brushed, is a fair and fine golden color. However, he often neglects it and forgets to cut it. When he does cut it, it looks rather shaggy and messier than before, as he tends to keep it at his shoulders and just above his brows. It's often spilling over either and usually never tied up. Only Thread makes him do anything to it, and even then wisps of blond can be seen out of his cap.

I'en is hardly fashionable, though he's fond of coats with many pockets. Whatever's clean, he calls his style, and that is a wide array. If it doesn't reek too horribly and hasn't been lying neglected in a corner for a week, it's clean.

Personality

I'en shows no emotion. He does not smile much, nor does he laugh. He is capable of a few tears here and there, but not much else. It's always the cool, calm face. Most people brand him as heartless and therefore treat him as such.

However, he does have feelings. They run deep, and he feels things hard. When he's happy, it's like a thousand Gather days. When he's sad, the world is falling apart. When he's angry, fire is devouring everything. When he's scared, there is nothing but darkness. It never shows on his face, but the emotions are there. He just does not express them.

He is not very empathetic, though there is a sense of justice. He knows what is right and what isn't. Okay, allow me to explain that: he's only empathetic to those that deserve his empathy, which isn't many. If someone is being treated unfairly, he's the first to speak out. But if someone gets what they deserve, he doesn't care.

He's a kleptomaniac. His sense of justice applies to all but him; whatever he does is justified in his mind. He's also insanely curious, which leads to his kleptomania. He tends to pick things up when rifling through objects and just waltz off, forgetting they belonged to someone until it's too late.

I'en cannot throw away anything and while he keeps his work-space organized, he does not care about much else. When it comes to a certain corner of his weyr, he's contstntly cleaning it; the rest is a mess. He hates it when people touch his items, even if he over-turns their weyr. He especially hates people touching Ytaisuth without asking, for he finds it offensive.

Hobbies/Skills

I'en's curiosity has led him to learning what he can about... well, everything. He likes to watch insects, animals, or other dragons or people and just observe. He also has an interest in Gardening, and he has a plant box in his study corner of his weyr.

Pets

None.

History

Azenath had laid a Gold. Everyone in the weyr spoke of it, yet no candidates were brought in. Oddly enough, that was the first time Ireskan and Tayena met: through that strange moment in Candidate Lessons where they had no idea what was going on and why no Search riders were being sent out.

Tayena spoke of how she would Impress the Gold. Ireskan listened, nodding occasionally and when asked said he'd only want his life and limb. The two got closer as the hatching date approached, but nothing really happened.

Ireskan bonded with Mnormth, the only brown from the clutch, and not even a green looked Tayena's way. After the hatching, the two did not see each other for many years.

Ireskan formed a bond with one of the green riders, and his Mnormth flew her green often. But sudden death took his beloved one night: heart problems, most people said. At 40, he was childless and alone. That was how he met Tayena again: she had tried a few other things, but they didn't work out.

They decided to see each other, and it wasn't long before Tayena found herself pregnant. It scared her: so old and having children! But her son was born fairly healthy, and that pleased her. And so, Iyen was brought into the world.

Two siblings followed: Elora and Resken. Reskan, being two years younger than Iyen, had Down Syndrome and died at the age of eight. It was at that time Tayena stopped smiling as much, and Iyen and Elora often felt that a third part was missing. However, as children, they did not scar as heavily as Tayena, and eventually things returned to normal for them.

Their mother was not so fortunate. She grew cold and distant and often stared off into the distance. I'ska tried to make things better, but eventually Tayena and I'ska broke off and Iyen and Elora were sent to other weyrfolk for fostering.

Life was... fairly normal after that. Iyen and Elora got into all sorts of trouble stealing food and goodies from folk around the weyr. They drove their foster parents insane and had a good time of it. It was during this time that Iyen met Callan, and the two became good friends. When Iyen was seventeen and Callen was eighteen, a clutch came on the sands. This was the first one they were old enough to attend.

Callen walked away without a dragon, but Iyen found his Ytaisuth.

It was only a turn after the hatching when Elora and Callen announced their engagement. The wedding was quiet, with only I'en and a few other folk in attendance. However, I'en swears he saw Tayena off to one side, smiling as Elora and Callen were bound.

However, things did not go so smoothly after that. Betweening cost them a green from I'en's class. Soon after, the other greens followed. It finally came down to a dire situation: only 45 dragons. Arizith died recently, and now only one Gold can over-see Pern.

I'en and Ytaisuth are holding on, just barely. Some of the lost greenriders were friends of his: a kinship among dragons, so to speak. But life is what it is, and it shall go on.

Dragon

Name[/b]

Ytaisuth

Age

22

Color

Green

Clutch

1164: Gold Arizith x Bronze Birath

Appearance

The beautiful light-green hide is off-set by a strange ruby-colored marking on the lower side of her jaw. The tips of Ytaisuth's wings are slightly blue, and she has a lighter stomach. Indeed, this strange, petite green if quite a sight to see. She's only twenty-four feet, being smaller than the smallest of greens. Her stamina is lacking, but she takes to the sky naturally and is always fast and maneuverable.

Personality

Like most Greens, Ytaisuth can be high-strung and jittery. She tends to be shy and nervous around others on a normal situation, usually jumping from foot to foot and shivering. But there is one thing Ytaisuth loves: making others happy. When things are harmonious and everyone around her is pleased, she will calm and become less nervous and more friendly.

Ytaisuth has a strong sense of justice. She hates it when others are hurt for no reason, or when someone is being treated unfairly. Whenever she sees someone being hurt, she wants to jump in and help immediately. She and her rider often get into arguments over things, especially when she thinks someone needs help and he thinks whatever that person is going through, they deserve it.

This sense of justice extends to her rider, and she often worries that people will hurt I'en. His feelings run deep, and they're easily harmed. She hates it when this happens, and always vows she will help him feel better and make the other person feel worse.

History

I'en! Mine! They're coming to get me! I need help!

And with that, the little green bounded over to hide behind I'en so as to save herself from a rather playful blue. That was the beginning of a rather... colorful history, and together with her rider, Ytaisuth has been flying and fighting Thread for quite some time. She doesn't mind the work, actually, even though she tires quickly.
