The Hero Of This Story

Name: Dascyana
Age: 25
Nameday: 3552.03.11
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Craft: Courtesan
Rank: Journeyman
Location: Western Weyr
Physical Description: A tall woman who stands at Five feet ten inches tall, Dascyana is quite the striking figure. With long legs and a thin frame Dascyana can be described as statuesque. She is lean with a light amount of muscle making her lithe. Blonde hair that is constantly bleached more by the sun is long and ends just at her mid back. When working she normally wears it up in a braid though she does prefer to wear it half up and down with braids throughout it. Bright blue eyes are set in a round eye shape. Her cheekbones are a bit more pronounced though not enough to give her a gaunt or unhealthy appearance. Her lips are full and always upturned in a smile to either be friendly or flirty. Her skin, though it use to be paler, has turned a light tan thanks to spending as much time in the sun as she does.

Personality: From a very early age Dascyana has always been a social butterfly. She thrives on being around others and certainly enjoys being the center of attention. Quick to jump into any social situation she isn't afraid to speak to anyone and certainly has no fear of being put in to these situations either. Normally very friendly, as well as flirty, she finds it pretty easy to make friends, or at least get along well with people.

Surprisingly even though she is very social and enjoys that it doesn't mean that Dascyana doesn't have moments where she oversteps boundaries. She can be very callous about certain things and because of this she can be a bit insensitive at times. If she sees something about someone she might bring it up without thinking about tact. 'Your old hair style was better.', 'Oh you are dancing like that? Well, we call can't be great.' She really can be a bit of a 'mean girl' at times.

She has a special way of reading people, seeing through what people might be hiding at times. She is a bit more perceptive, able to tell a few things about someone, when it interests her. A lot of the times the only thing she finds interesting tends to be gossip or rumors. Though she can and well use this for something better, like helping her friends. If they don't want to talk about something bothering them and she is able to tell they are upset, she'll help by just being there for them.

When it comes to life Dascyana has, at times, bucked at a life that is too structured. She enjoys doing her own things and the things that she wants. Sure, she can listen to authority and doesn't have a problem with that, all the time. She just might moan and groan a bit every so often. She'd rather do a job or chore her way, especially if it's something that she might be able to improve the quality of or how fast it could get done. She also does respect authority, she understands there needs to be rules in society and leaders as well but she can't help but try to push the boundaries every so often. She will never do it if it would cause issue for others, or her friends of course.

When it comes to decision making as well as her actions, Dascyana has and always will be a very bold woman. She doesn't like to leave things to chance and never wants to have regrets either.
Positive Trait List Social, Perceptive, Bold
Negative Trait List Insensitive, Unstructured, Defiant

History: Born into an ENTIRE generational Family of Healers, Dascyana is a bit of a black sheep. Born in Fort Hold where she spent most of her formative years, Dascyana bucked against her mother's wishes for her to follow in her footsteps as Pediatric Healer. The young girl enjoyed dancing and certainly enjoyed the attentions she got as she did it. What attentions could one get being a healer after all? So when she was old enough and finally having gained her mother's reluctant approval Dascyana was sent off to the courtesan hall at Western Hold.

Once there and finally learning something she was interested in, Dascyana started to blossom and bloom. The young woman focused upon being a dancer, soaking in all of the information she could get. Making friends, while easy on the surface for the young woman they were not as easy to keep as she got into arguments with them or at the times when she was being insensitive. Wanting to be the center of attention also drew the ire of others as she would put herself into the middle of things.

Walking the tables and becoming a journeyman things didn't change much for Dascyana. She still enjoyed the attentions she gained from man and woman alike, it didn't matter to her as long as their eyes were upon her. It was during an engagement at a Hold that Dascyana was searched suddenly at the age of twenty. The decision to go to Western Weyr was quick for the woman to make because why shouldn't she try her hand at such a thing. If a dragon said she was cut out for it then she should at least try? If it didn't work out she could go back to dancing.

Of course the return of Thread has dampened that a bit with Dascyana wondering she she really wants to continue to go through with this but then the idea of being a hero, of having a dragon, reminds her of just how much more she could climb up the social ladder.

Here There Be Dragons

Blue Auridioth
Written by Zaikt
Colored by Zaikt



Origin of Name: From Cathartes aura meridionalis, a synonym for the Latin name C. a. teter--the Western Turkey Vulture. C. a. teter was identified as a subspecies by Friedman in 1933, but in 1964 Alexander Wetmore separated the western birds, which took the name meridionalis, which was applied earlier to a migrant from South America. It breeds from southern Manitoba, southern British Columbia, central Alberta and Saskatchewan south to Baja California, south-central Arizona, southeastern New Mexico, and south-central Texas. It is the most migratory subspecies, migrating as far as South America, where it overlaps the range of the smaller C. a. aura. It differs from the eastern turkey vulture in color, as the edges of the lesser wing coverts are darker brown and narrower.

Inspiration: Turkey Vulture

The turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), also known in some North American regions as the turkey buzzard (or just buzzard), and in some areas of the Caribbean as the John crow or carrion crow, is the most widespread of the New World vultures. One of three species in the genus Cathartes of the family Cathartidae, the turkey vulture ranges from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, including subtropical forests, shrublands, pastures, and deserts.

The turkey vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its food using its keen eyes and sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gasses produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals. In flight, it uses thermals to move through the air, flapping its wings infrequently. It roosts in large community groups. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses.

Personality:
Auridioth has had his life planned out from the moment he first became aware of it. He knows exactly what he wants, where he wants to go, and what he wants to do--his ambition will carry him far, especially seeing as he has the drive to actively pursue his dreams as well. His rider had best be prepared to come along for the ride, as Auridioth never planned to do any of this alone; there’s no one he’d rather have at his side, and no one he trusts more with his hopes and dreams. It can be difficult to actually connect with him on any kind of deep emotional level, but that’s more on account of his desire to protect himself than anything else; he wears layers and layers of biting commentary to keep the more tender parts of his pride from getting bruised, and he’s rather liberal with its application, too.

There’s a much softer side to this Blue than he’d like to let on, and he’s not entirely the prickly, sarcastic (and cutthroat, depending on who you ask) ice king he tends to come off as. His hearts do beat under there, despite his best efforts to appear as though he might be above such things; his keen wit and dry sense of humor are usually used to keep potentially upsetting distractions at arm’s length, carefully leveled at others who come a little too close for comfort. Auridioth doesn’t often aim to deeply wound, but he has issues with moderation; his self-control does leave something to be desired, unfortunately, and he’s had to eat his words and apologize more than once for going too far.

Auridioth is a brilliant dragon, truthfully, and he’s able to quickly turn his sharp mind toward finding unexpected solutions to problems. He’s excellent at thinking outside the box, and his self-confidence means that he has little issue with confronting issues head-on after he comes up with a plan. As long as His is on the same page, Auridioth can keep his momentum going for as long as he needs to take care of things completely. He doesn’t like leaving things half-done, and takes particular pride in his own work ethic; if he doesn’t take care of those assignments to the letter, then it reflects poorly on himself, not to mention His.

If there’s one thing Auridioth will not tolerate, it’s any slights toward his rider--perceived or genuine, they’re all met with every bit of bristling and intimidation he can muster. He’s not just hot air, either, and even though he can easily get ahead of himself and start trouble over practically nothing, it can’t be said that he’s afraid to act. This does mean that Auridioth can be somewhat of an acquired taste, given his mile-wide vindictive streak and his willingness to confront people, and His will have to work to help rein his temper in before it becomes too much of an ingrained habit.

It can, however, correctly be said that he’s selfish. Auridioth is unwilling to minimize his own worth for anyone, even His, and will not let his rider fall prey to such thoughts, either--while his hearts aren’t in a malicious place, the fact of the matter is still that Auridioth looks out for number one first. If he’s not in top shape, how’s he supposed to do anything, anyway? His personal comfort matters to him, of course, but Auridioth isn’t a shameless glutton. He keeps close track of what he feels he’s owed, and that’s what he wants; no more, and certainly no less. If he feels shorted, he’s sure to let you know, besides--he expects the issue to be corrected at the first available opportunity, thank you, and then he’ll get out of your hair. Until all debts have been paid, however, you’d best believe that Auridioth will be a looming presence throughout your day. He doesn’t let anyone off the hook, and is hellishly persistent in his pursuit of proper payment.

Positive Traits: Witty, intelligent, driven.
Negative Traits: Impulsive, vindictive, selfish.

Red Patterned Egg: A small egg. You feel like it’s watching you very closely from the moment you approach.

Adult Size: 52’
Physical Attributes:
Falling a little short of average size for his color and being overall a lanky, bony creature, Auridioth isn’t an especially intimidating example of dragonkind. His eyes are set deep in their sockets, and regardless of his actual feelings, his resting expression is somewhat baleful, if not outright belligerent. His paws are especially long and slender, which affords him an almost upsetting amount of dexterity with his fingers--he’s certainly not going to be opening locks any time soon, but he’s great at grabbing things.

Additional Notes:
Auridioth is fully capable of making your standard dragon vocalizations, but typically prefers not to--the most you’re liable to get out of him is some shade of hissing, rattling, or other low sounds. His bugling sounds especially reedy and high-pitched.

He’s surprisingly flexible, and has little issue sleeping while twisted into all sorts of pretzel-like shapes. He seems to favor it, in fact.

Golds are his primary weakness, and despite his best efforts, he’s a sucker for a queen that’s willing to give him a minute of her time. He finds it frustratingly easy to fall for them in particular, but has little concern for any colorist ideas that might imply that he’s aiming above his station. Rather, Auridioth is more likely to be upset with himself for crushing on someone like some kind of lovestruck hatchling than he is anything else.

Impression Effect: Dascyana was a good looking woman before, but now she's absolutely magnetic. Impression has never looked so good as it does on this woman, and she can use that to her advantage if she wishes. They need to work their way to the top, this woman is going to find herself with a new purpose and new drive. Power and leadership would be a fine start!

Why Me? Dascyana (BastetAmun)

Auridioth and Dascyana are a solid and reliable match. To start, Auridioth always needed someone who could keep up with his need-to-succeed sort of attitude. He has places to go, and he knows Dascyana's keen mind and bold attitude will only help them both reach for the stars. In so many ways they are alike, but where they differ is in Dascyana's ability to act as a social butterfly. Her wit, while often turned to blunt and insensitive remarks, will serve her well as she faces off with and against Auridioth. Perhaps due to her ability to see through to the truth of what others may be feeling will aid her in understanding this dragon, whose sarcastic nature often gets in his way. Another rider who wasn't so willing to push boundaries wouldn't have suited Auridioth, who was hatched ready to climb to the top.
