Description: Phys - Mouse brown, slightly curly hair
tops his head. He's not fair skinned, but burns rather easily, a major
pet peeve of this bluerider's. He's either seen pale or red, and almost
never in between. His eyes are green and still hold the glint of a
mischief maker even though he's almost grown up and will be a full blown
rider in a matter of months. He's not very tall, standing at 5'8 if he's
lucky. A'riste has no major distinguishing features and could easily
blend in with the rest of all Pern. He can usually be found wearing a
grin. While he is plain, this bluerider does have a redeeming feature -
most men and women alike fall in love with his eyes.
Emot - Just a big kid who still hasn't, and never will, grow up. His
blue, Calencilth, is just another victem of his everlasting plotting.
He's playful and rather spontaneous and loves to sit around and do
nothing for hours on end if there's time for it. His laughter is also
rather infectious, and he will have a funny thought, and no matter where
he is...will burst out laughing.
History: A'riste was born Ayiriste to his parents, A'yis who was a
bluerider like himself, and a Holderwoman named Kelrise. There'd been a
long-term affair between his parents, who were not very old at the time.
His mother had been promised to a young lad who was in line to Inherit
his families hold.
When the young man found out that not only had she been cheating on him,
but that it was with a bluerider and a child had been produced, needless
to say, there was not much of a choice left.
The baby that had resulted from the affair grew up healthy and very
happy. His mother worked sometimes in the Weyrkitchens, but was more
content with being a foster mother. She always had her oldest son
underfoot, and smiled whenever he looked at her.
A'riste didn't get a chance to know his father, the man and his blue
were killed during a particularly nasty Threadfall. It didn't phase him,
but it did drive him to committ to a craft.
He became a dragonhealer at the age of 12 and stayed in the Weyr for
alot of hands on training. He loved his work, and by the time he was 15,
he was ready to become a Journeyman. His Master, however, thought he
needed much more pratice, and A'riste was forced to stay as an
Apprentice.
Halfway through his fifteenth year, he was Searched. He stood for the
eggs once, did not Impress. Stood a second time, and again he was
without a lifemate. He didn't want to be disapointed again, and decided
that the third time would be the last.
But the blue who was first to Hatch on that fateful day, made himself
known as Calencilth. They spent the first part of their Weyrlinghood in
their native Weyr, but then transfered to SeaBreeze once they were
promoted to Senior Weyrlings - and could go /between/.
Dragon Description: Calencilth is a small blue dragon - he won't
be much bigger than most of the greens. This gives him alot of agility
that most other blues don't have, but it takes away from his stamina.
The bronze dragon of the Weyrlingmaster from their old Weyr said he may
only be able to fly half of a fall, since he is so small.
Other than his small size, he's rather well proportioned for it. Sure
his wings are a tad too big, but nothing noteworthy. His hide is that of
the waters of the South. Almost green, but he's got enough blue in it to
show you that indeed, he is a blue dragon. It's almost an aqua-ish
color, but not quite.
This little blue dragon is the serious part of the rider pair. He likes
to have fun, but even now, as a young dragon, he knows that life and
Threads are meant to be taken seriously. He'll let loose when he feels
secure that there is nothing else he needs to be doing.
Pet Description: Flirty, dainty, and very green. Tairen to the tip of
her nose. Named after one of A'riste's best female friends growing up,
she's quite a bit like her namesake. She's pretty, she knows it, but she
doesn't flaunt it. Tairen can always be found in the company of a bronze
or brown flitter if she's not with her friend, A'riste. Her hide is a
vibrant, shimmering green and she takes great pride in her color.
