Description: Physical - T'varien stands at about 5'11 and a half. Not quite six feet tall. He has bluey-green eyes that sometime mix with grey and are quite interesting. Hair is a deep chestnut brown, natural aburn streaks running through. The brownrider's hair is kept short, and neatly trimmed to easily fit under his riding helmet. His body is fit, well muscled from his three turns of being a dragonrider. He prefers to walk around shirtless, reasons quite obvious. While all in all, he's nice to look at, he won't stop all conversation when he walks into the room. T'varien knows he looks rather nice, and tries to look nice for the female population, but most of the time, he's just too involved with his male friends otherwise.
Emotional - While he loves the freedom that the weyr represents, he's still a bit holdbred, and doesn't like the idea of homo or bisexuality much. He's learned to accept it, but that doesn't mean he likes it. T'varien is somewhat macho, but not too much to make him too many to accept his faults and that he makes mistakes sometimes. Enjoys a good debate, this rider is intelligent and a formidable dragonpoker opponent. He'll never resist an oppertunity to hang out with the 'guys' and will never turn down a bet. Sometimes he may seem insensitive...but that's just because he's so wrapped up in his...maleness. *g*
History: Born at Silent Stories Hold to a young holderwoman and her long-time suitor form a nearby cothold, he was thought to be the first of a great many children from his engaged parents. His mother did have two more children after him, a brother named Tarious and a sister named Ivinne. She died in childbirth with Ivinee, leaving Tavarien without a mother figure at the age of three turns.
His father did remarry, when Tarvarien was five turns old. He blamed his sister for his mother's death, being too young to understand that it really couldn't be helped. He ignored her every chance he got, and confided in his brother, a turn younger than himself, and his father.
His father went along, teaching him the ways of the hold, because he would one day inherit it. Tavarien worked hard at what his father taught, but wanted something more from life than laboring for the small, minor river hold. His father was somewhat alarmed by this, and tried to bribe his son by staying instead of apprenticing, with a firelizard egg.
The little green Hikari hatched, and she placated Tavarien for the time. At the age of thirteen turns, however, he ran off, due to his unwillingness to take the spot as the minor hold's heir. He made it to the Healer Hall, and posed as an apprentice.
He was never offcially an apprentice, but snuck around the Hall, learning some basic healer teachings. He remained in the Healer Hall for six full months, until one of the Journeywoman found out exactly who he was. Tavarien begged her not to send him back, in fears of what his father might think of him, returning after he had the audacity to run off.
The journeywoman agreed, and gave him two choices. Become an apprentice, or go to the weyr and see if he could make something of himself there. He thanked her, but left for the Weyr, because he felt that maybe he was worthy of a much bigger version of his little green friend, Hikari, and a different color as well.
Arriving at the Weyr, Tavarien made a more or less secure spot for himself as a lower caverns worker. He got himself Searched, at the age of 14. He knew it was unlikely that he'd Impress, but his spirits brightened at the mere honor of being considered worthy of becoming a dragonrider.
He stood for every single hatching for three full turns until a little brown by the name of Wyvirieth decided that T'varien would make a perfect rider.
The brown dragon flew his first green when he was two months out of weyrlinghood. The green's rider was named Jezica, and she and T'varien weyrmated when she found out about her pregnancy.
The relationship was short-lived, however, and the little girl, Jezrien, was what he had left. He'd lost another woman in his life due to childbirth. Unlike his sister, however, he did not shun his daughter, and still visits the little girl, who is now three turns old. Dragon Description: Wvyirieth is a medidum sized brown. Much larger than even the best grown blues, and smaller than even the smallest bronze. His proportions are a little bit off, wings, and neck being a bit long for the rest of him. This gives him the ability to do some interesting aerial stunts, and that's an asset to him during mating flights. His hide is a light, sandy brown color. Some parts of him seem almost golden, others almost bronze...but without the metallic sheen.
Wvy will try anything twice. He's curious about everything, and can normally figure something out with no help from his rider. He likes to play games, pranks, and lives for fun. He's a risk taker, but is sure that he stays focused during threadfall and other important, and potentiall fatal, occurances happen.
Pet Description: Hikari is a petite green, with a dull, forest green hide. She's a silly little creature, always in the way and always underfoot. Kari hears what she wants to, and ignores everything else. In her world, things are perfect and she is the Empress of all Pern. Sadly, no one's bothered to give her a reality check, and she's still living in her own little fantasy.
