Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: K'zier (was Kyzier)
Age: 21 turns
Nameday: 2554.07.22 (may not be 100% accurate, see history)
Sex: Nonbinary (Afab) - They/them
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Craft: Apprentice Harper
Rank: Candidate
Location: Western Weyr
Physical Description: Kyzier's hair is a straw blonde in color, worn down in a casual braid. It's relatively straight (unlike them), and long enough to span their back while braided. The hair framing their face, however, is shorter, just past the chin, and barely long enough to fit into the loose braid they wear, should they try. Their eyes are a brilliant blue, reminiscent of the ocean, and their skin is tanned. They have a tendency towards surprisingly subtle colors in their clothing, but do enjoy wearing more ornate things. Clothing with multiple parts may be preferred, but they rarely wear the bright colors that one might assume they would. They have a fine sense for fashion, and enjoy wearing more expensive things, putting great effort into looking nice. They do not wear dresses, and prefer to make their own fashion rules, when it comes to what is proper and traditional, at least. They're of average height, around 5'6", with a sturdy, strong build. They look more feminine than not, so they compensate with masculine clothing.

Personality: cheerful, immature, energetic, stable emotions, reckless, impulsive, thrillseeker, easily bored, determined, ambitious, tenacious, ambigious but decisive legacy goal, playful, eager, INTENSE, sociable, controlling (leader????), overconfident, stubborn, opinionated, foolish, enjoys extremes

The world has not yet taken its toll on Kyzier. They remain young, immature, and fiercely cheerful, with a sort of innocence about them. They're optimistic about their future. No, they're absolutely certain things will turn out right! And not that they don't know that bad things happen, of course! But nothing bad has ever happened to them, which they interpret, subconsciously, as a sort of immunity to bad things happening. They have not yet been taken down a peg, and instead, they think that everything will be smooth sailing for them. Clearly, they're invulnerable, and even if they know, deep down, that mortality happens to everyone, they've never actually stopped to think about negative things happening to them.

Kyzier has all the energy of a whirlwind or hurricane, without the emotional volatility one might associate with them. They never seem to tire, and can continue moving at a high energy pace for hours on end. Their emotions are relatively stable, however, and even at their peak energy, they rarely lose control of themselves. That said, they're a bit reckless and impulsive, tending to act without thinking, and throw themselves into new situations which, though exciting, may be dangerous or detrimental.

A bit of a thrillseeker, they tend to seek out high risk, high reward situations and intensity. While they are rarely disturbed by anything, letting things roll off their back with ease, they're prone to intensity in their relationships. One can have strong feelings that shift constantly, and not be especially upset when things end up going south, after all. They like new, exciting things, and generally get bored easily.

Bored, maybe, but not unfocused. Things may get dull, but they know when things are necessary...for their goals, anyways! They push through the boring things with admirable tenacity, and their determination to succeed is strong. Kyzier is ambitious, and they want to succeed. Their current goal? Impress a dragon! A wher would be alright, too, but they've got strong expectations that a dragon is in their future. From there--the world is their oyster! They don't have a focused goal yet, per se, beyond just wanting others to know who they are. They're not sure how others are going to know their name, how they're going to leave their legacy, but by the first egg, they'll DO it.

Playful and eager, they can be a bit overwhelming in social situations. They have a certain intensity, a certain force of personality, that sometimes drives people away. That said, Kyzier is socially driven and enjoys being around people. They're a generally friendly person, and if you can get past the whirlwind of chaos and bossiness, they're very pleasant.

Bossy? Noooo, they're not bossy, they're just a leader! And leaders need to take charge, so that's what they'll do. They're confident in their abilities (and their success), perhaps too confident. The bigger they think they are, the harder they fall, after all. They don't notice their flaws, and exaggerate their positive qualities, and tend to assume other people are wrong when they try to show them the opposite.

After all, they are a stubborn person. They know the best way to do something, after all. They have an opinion on everything, and everything they have an opinion on is correct. Not that they can't change their mind, they just have to come to it of their own volition. Pressuring them to change their mind doesn't work well. While not exactly the best "team player" with peers, however, they do make a decent leader...in some regards. They don't play well with the idea of democracy, for example, or following someone else. If they're not in control of a situation, they get annoyed, an oddity for them, in other situations. When no one will step up and delegate, when no one is willing to do what needs to be done, they will do it. They take charge of situations so naturally that one might think they were born to lead. That said, several other qualities mean that even if they are a natural leader, that doesn't mean they're the best leader. Just because someone can take charge of a situation, be decisive and determined, and gain some positive results, doesn't mean that recklessness, stubbornness, or foolishness make for a good leader.

They enjoy extremes and attention, but it doesn't always need to be positive extremes or attention. Sure, they avoid acting out, generally, but they like to be on everyone's minds. They want to be talked about, known, and have a legacy. To some degree, it doesn't matter if it's for a good thing or not (though good things are, obviously, preferred). They like intense extremes, and seem to be equally in their element when things are exceptionally bad, as when they are exceptionally good. Monotony is their enemy. Shake it up a little, and they'll be much happier.

Positive Trait List Determined, Optimistic, Ambitious, Sociable
Negative Trait List Reckless, Immature, Overconfident, Stubborn
History: Kyzier and Zedrais likely had parents, at one point. They likely had been named. Maybe they'd even been dearly loved. The twins would never know the circumstances of their birth, and no one could provide enough tiny details to give a clue. The truth of the matter was this: two infants, clearly identical twins, had been left outside the door to Kyrasi's house. Who had left them there? They were about two months old, having arrived on the ninth month, the 22nd day. Their celebrated date of birth was two months prior to that fateful arrival.

Despite the dirty, unknown truth that the twins had been a burden to their mother, who had abandoned them as her caravan passed through, the twins had a charmed life growing up. Kyrasi, and her wife, adopted the two children and raised them as if they were their own. When the question came up, Kyrasi and Zierdred sat the two down and told them what they knew. No one knew who their parents were.

Despite this, Kyzier was the fierce leader to their sister's quiet, withdrawn personality. They got along surprisingly well, even if Kyzier was a bad influence on the otherwise well behaved girl. They got into trouble when they were together, and Kyzier led the charge every time. Their parents loved both children, even problem-child Kyzier, but things got strained eventually. Kyzier grew bored with their home, and requested to leave the minor hold and move to the harper crafthall.

They were granted their wish, and became an apprentice without much fuss. They had fun, but also learned a lot, eager to perform and make the magic of song and dance happen. They didn't care much for the studying and archives, but they forced themselves to sit through it. They have been intently studying and have made senior apprentice, and hope to make journeyman soon.

Still, they have always turned their head to the skies, and hoped for a dragon. They're still young, but they know they'll be searched and Impress long before they age out. They just know it. Why can't they be a harper and a rider, after all?

Other: This is totally their theme song.
Born in a travelling caravan.
Lived at a minor Hold under Western territory, is currently (pre-search) at the harper hall.
Adopted by Kyrasi and Zierdred along with their sister, Zedrais as infants.
UPDATE: Impressed! (NPC Clutch)




DRAGON
Name: Naralyth
Age: Hatchling [NPC Clutch]
Color: Blue
Size: Small - 25
Physical Description: Naralyth is not the giant creature Kyzier longed for--nor is he shiny. He is, in fact, quite small, though at least he's not the smallest ever. Kyzier will quickly need to reconsider their "bigger is better" perspective! While his facial features are surprisingly dainty and regal, his body verges on bulky. Twenty-five feet in length, maybe, but that's 25 feet of pure muscle. He's strong and powerful, without any evident fat or wasted space. Even more, Naralyth holds himself with power and strength, each movement precise and decisive. He is quite physically capable for his size, and he will have more endurance when chasing than his size suggests.

Personality: Together, the world is their oyster! Naralyth is more than happy to buy into Kyzier's optimism regarding their future. He is ambitious, with a sharp edge to him. While certainly not ruthless, he's prepared to make necessary sacrifices to get to the top. That said, he has a big heart, and loves easily. He doesn't want to HURT anyone to get to the top, unless they're rude and mean (obviously), so these are mostly self-sacrifices. His ambitious nature is extreme, and he is willing to work hard and fight for what he/she wants. He knows he can lead others well--so why shouldn't he fight for the position? He enjoys being in control of situations, and trusts himself and Kyzier more than anyone else, when it comes to doing things right.

He is an empowered dragon, believing in his own inner and outer strengths. Confident, but not quite conceited, he is comfortable in his/ own skin and rarely worries about others' opinions of him. That said, he can be rather judgmental, and is quick to jump to conclusions. He is surprisingly cynical, believing in the worst in society as a whole. Individuals can be good, and he's going to love fiercely and strongly, but he's very aware that people, and society, can be cruel. Perhaps this is why he rarely takes things personally, and often judges moodiness to be someone's general disposition. Naralyth forms opinions quickly and easily, be they about people or something else, and is loud about what he believes and why. To anyone who will listen, he shares his thoughts. The flip side is that he can be quite passionate--in loving, in working, and in playing. He makes time for leisure activities, of course, and enjoys listening to Kyzier's music quite a bit.

"Curious" is a word to describe him. Naralyth likes learning things. He wants to know how and why things work. Unfortunately, He's also nosy, interested in meddling in everyone's business. A bit of a gossiper, but with good intentions, he likes to know what's going on with everyone at the Weyr. He's a bit of a matchmaker as well, and enjoys pushing people to confess their true feelings, and things like that. In general, he's a romantic creature, who is prone to dramatic displays of affection--collecting flowers for a lover, for example. He loves deeply and often dreams about falling in love. Naralyth is resilient, so despite occasionally crushing on someone who isn't interested, he is able to move on with his life easily.

Naralyth is fiery and fierce, with a bold attitude that stands out. He refuses to bow to others, and those who act entitled cause him to bristle. That said, He is respectful enough--he just hates when others talk down to him or mistreat him, and will definitely speak up for him/herself. Assertive, to be sure, He doesn't let himself be put down or harmed.

While Naralyth can be rough around the edges--a little uncouth and certainly fierce--he is nonetheless a loving creature. He cares deeply for others, and will always be fond of his siblings, even if he knows they are not necessarily...going to be "good" dragons. That's okay. He'll still love them, albeit in a somewhat complex way, should they be cruel. Tough love, one might call it. He's rude in some ways, and can be crude, but he doesn't tolerate meanness or cruelty. Standing up for yourself is great! But don't be a bully. Naralyth is quick to stand up for others, with a protective streak a mile wide. If you are timid, afraid, or simply unable to stand up against those who treat you poorly--do not worry, for Naralyth is here!

In fact, he can be a bit...involved in others' business, too. Meddling, invasive, and nosy--but well-meaning--he often advises others or butts in when he shouldn't. Sometimes, people don't want his help, and this is foreign to him. He's definitely the sort to want to help others, and because he trusts his own capabilities more than theirs, he feels as though it's his responsibility to help them. He enjoys being in control of situations--especially those that pertain to him--and can be a bit bossy. What he sees as good leadership qualities, others often see as negative ones. Sure, he can take charge, but he's not always supposed to, and sure, he can keep others motivated and hold them accountable, but isn't he a bit demanding? He expects the best from others, even though she doubts their capabilities. Certainly a good leader (Naralyth himself) would make them more capable, right?

Quick to anger and quick to forgive, Naralyth's moods are a bit mercurial. He hates certain things and behaviors, and will not hesitate to tell someone off, but seems to forgive them easily, so long as they're not a repeat offender. Prone to giving second, third, and fourth chances, Naralyth is nonetheless capable of maintaining a limit on things that are important to him.

Despite being a chromatic dragon, one of his defining character traits is that he's fatherly. Fierce, tough-love fatherly, but fatherly nonetheless. It's a shame he'll never have children of his own, but it doesn't stop him from trying to father just about everyone. He'll be a nag, and will say things such as "Don't talk back to me" and "Pay attention!" He may use...somewhat rude language and names, but he desperately desires to father dragons from clutching to...forever, really.

Positive Traits: Ambitious, passionate, loving, fiercely protective, parental [fatherly], romantic, assertive, big heart
Negative Traits: Cynical, mercurial, bossy, demanding, controlling, nosy, invasive, judgmental

Additional Notes: Naralyth wants desperately to be a father, but will settle for parenting young weyrlings that he takes a liking to. Equal parts mentor, father, and leader, he will take a tough love type of relationship with these weyrlings, and will model his "fathering" after hold-esque human relations...no matter how weird it is (you'd better not judge him). He will settle to parenting humans as well--little odd things, so incapable at birth, but won't Kyzier go make one of those little cuties for him! He won't push them, of course, but he is gleeful at seeing any young creature of any sort.

He is panromantic, but will chase any gold that rises, hoping that she will pick him, even though it is impossible. He can be extremely romantic, and believes in the power of chromatics--the strength of the largest fighting force. He will never stop encouraging his chromatic brothers and sisters.

Keen and quick-witted, Naralyth seems to have a knack for betweening. His between accuracy will be strong, and he will master visual exercises easily as a weyrling. As an adult, it will be his strongest ability in threadfall, but is by no means so exceptional as to win him any awards.

Why Me: Kyzier still has room for advancement, even without a metallic dragon, at Western Weyr, and Naralyth is happy to lead them into a place of power! (And Kyzier had better not complain about that--not that they would!) He loves his dearest bonded for their fire and determination, and matches them every step of the way, albeit with a more mature outlook. Kyzier needs to grow up a bit, have a bit more maturity, with less of that innocence/naivety/general silliness. Naralyth knows how the world REALLY runs, and he'll guide Kyzier to navigate that.

Filled with their own opinions, Kyzier may occasionally clash with their bonded, but the pair will always be good-natured about it. There will be power struggles and irritation, but eventually, even that will fade away, as they grow more comfortable in the bond. Regardless, they will be as close as any rider and their dragon; they just often feel friction. It isn't because they're too different--rather that they're too similar.

Still, Kyzier has the edge and curiosity that Naralyth seeks. Ambition and drive are vital, and Naralyth would have no other candidate to be his rider!
