Name: V'rel
Age: 20 Turns
Rank: Wingleader
Sexuality: Heterosexual (at least, he's /supposed/ to be)
Family: Unknown
Birthplace: Ista Weyr
Appearance: V'rel is about 5'8'' in height, meaning he's about average, though perhaps a little taller than most. He has rather long limbs, though he does have a bit of muscle. No, he doesn't look like a body-builder. In fact, he actually looks very thin, like he wouldn't be one who has a lot of muscle. However, with his long hair he tends to look a little girly, and generally his baggy clothes hide his fit figure. V'rel would be quite good in a physical brawl, though not many people on Pern generally fight each other, especially not Dragonriders. Pity, it would be a great way for him to let out all that frustration.
His hair is a pale blonde, and it is by no means a bright golden color. It's a very pale dirty-blonde, though it probably looks very dirty because he rarely washes his hair. Yes, this does make his hair rather dirty and greasy, and even something like a rock-star of modern day. Not to mention that his hair is also very long, and it falls a little past his shoulders. It's very messy as well. His right eye is rarely seen, because he keeps his hair in front of it all the time. It makes him look rather "emo", with his hair covering his eye all the time.
He also tends to look like an angsty teenager because he'll rarely ever smile. He usually has a sulking, really angry look on his face. Adding to the hair in his face, he looks like a regular emo. V'rel would actually look rather handsome though, but the sulky look he generally keeps tends to distract from that. If looks could kill, half the Weyr would be dead by now just from his glare. It takes a lot to even get him to crack an amused smile, though this is probably a good thing, as when he smiles he tends to look downright insane.
The one eye that is visible is a very, very pale brown, looking almost yellow. It's generally narrowed in an angry glare, as explained above. When he is happy though, the way to tell would be through his eye, as it tends to soften its usual hard glare. This is not rare, as he can get into a happy mood often, he just doesn't like to show it. V'rel's skin is of an average tone, though perhaps a little lighter than the average. He doesn't tan, although he does redden if out in the sun for too long, like any normal person.
V'rel tends to stick to very loose clothing, and mostly in dull colors like brown, reddish brown and black. He also has a thing for scarves, especially a reddish brown one that he's rarely seen without, even in warm weather. It's a very thick scarf, and it's very loose as well. The only time he'll take it off is in extremely hot weather, when even V'rel can't stand the heat enough to keep his beloved scarf on.
Personality: V'rel is not a very happy camper, or at least, that's what he tries to show. He's always sulking, and he rarely laughs. Every little thing that can annoy him, will annoy him. He has very low tolerance for stupidity, and won't hesitate to insult someone if they do something he find extremely idiotic. V'rel also does not like playing around or joking, and he tends to be a bit too serious at times. He doesn't have a very good sense of humor either, and his sense of what's funny and what's not is rather twisted. However, there are a few things that makes V'rel smile. He tends to smirk evily when winning an arguement or generally insulting another person. When he's really motivated, he smiles rather creepily as well. He can be a bit of sadist at times, and has a love of violence.
When around his superiors and those of a higher rank, he is very submissive and humble. He'll take anything they throw at him without getting mad or even walking away. He has a high respect for those in higher possitions than he, and he also has no aspiration to take their power away. He's perfectly happy serving the higher ranks, and it's probably a very good thing he Impressed an Onyx, or he would probably be taken advantage of a lot, not like it doesn't happen anyway. He won't take any crap from those he judges as "inferior" though.
He does not really care for himself much at all, and most of the time V'rel focuses more on the safety of other people before himself. He has a very low opinion of himself, and he doesn't have a lot of confidence, though he tends to hide this rather well. Despite this, V'rel has a huge temper, especially if someone he doesn't like insults him, even though he doesn't like himself very much. He resorts to violence rather quick, and can switch in and out of "crazy psycho mode" in the blink of an eye. He's not bipolar, more like he just has an extreme temper when something pushes him off the edge. It's very easy to send him on a rampage, as he can get annoyed over the simplest of things.
Deep down, all V'rel really wants is to have a family and people who love him, corny as that is. He would never let this show, though. He desperately wants to make friends and be liked, but he tends to get annoyed far too easily for that to happen. He's also a little scared of relationships, especially when it comes to other males. He's a bit of a homophobe, but that's probably only because he's unsure of his own sexuality, even though he DID Impress an Onyx.
History: V'rel never really had a normal childhood. He was born in Ista Weyr, he didn't know his parents, but he assumed they were both Dragonriders, as he did have a Foster Mother. She didn't really care much about him though, so V'rel was on his own most of the time. He didn't get along very well with the other Weyrbrats, as he had a horrible temper and he deemed them all stupid morons. V'rel never liked to play around much, and he was always very serious, even as a little kid. He was also a bit of a bully, and would push around the younger kids rather violently.
Eventually, V'rel grew up to be a normal disfunctional teenager, or at least, a disfunctional ten turn old. This was around the time Vyrzen was founded, and V'rel was one of the few Weyrbrats chosen to go to the new Weyr. They would eventually become old enough to be Candidates, and V'rel was probably picked to get him away from the other Weyrbrats, as V'rel had taken a liking to sneaking into the kitchen and playing with the butcher knives. However, at Vyrzen, his mood improved amazingly, and while he wasn't an optomistic happy little boy, he was considerably less violent.
A few turns went by, and eventually V'rel became a Candidate at the age of 12. He matured far faster than the other boys, hence why he was able to Stand so early. Or well, maybe not mature, but he was a lot calmer than most of the boys his age. Even at this age he was still extremely respectful and humble around those of a higher rank, so he gained favor with a lot of the higher ranking riders and the Candidate Master, as he rarely ever complained about a task he was given, no matter how demeaning.
When he was about 15, V'rel finally Impressed. He was about as surprised as everyone else was, with his submissive nature, most had pegged him as an Aquarider. However, his fellow Candidates knew otherwise, as they had seen quite a few of V'rel's angry outbursts and sulkyness. He went through Weyrling Training without much trouble, and most of his fellow Weyrlings avoided him as many others had before. While that depressed v'rel a bit, he didn't seem to mind, and brooded his hatred and longing for acceptence on the inside. In fact, he got to know quite a few of the Wingleaders more than the other Weyrlings.
It wasn't a surprise when V'rel was picked to be a Copperrider's Wingsecond when he was about 17. Her name was Endrene, rider of Copper Revith. She was, well, to put it simply, not very nice. It was obvious she had only picked V'rel as her Wingsecond because he was probably the only one who would put up with her. Even though his dragon outranked her, she was still his superior, so he submissively followed whatever she said. He even put up with her constant abuse, verbally and physically. In fact, he was actually in love with her, though he wouldn't accept this, as he knew she never would.
Eventually, V'rel went through with her abuse for about a turn, until one fateful day when Endrene took Revith between out of rage at a mistake he had made, and never came back. As much as she had hurt him, he couldn't help but feel extremely angry at her death, and wouldn't come of his weyr for days. He finally did recover though, and took the position as Wingleader. Despite all this happening, he still does want to find friends, even with his sulky demeanor that hasn't changed much from when he was a child.
Dragon
Dragon Name: Kaloath
Color: Onyx
Age: 5 Turns
Appearance:
Personality: Kaloath is almost the complete opposite to V'rel. He's generally very cheerful, though he can get completely serious like V'rel at times. The other thing they have in common is that even though he has a rather cheerful nature, Kaloath is easily angered and quick to assume. Kaloath also has the same confidence issues that V'rel does, and he doesn't really "believe in himself". He's a bit childish for an Onyx, and he's also not very arrogant at all. He's also very motivated, and so enthusiastic about things that it tends to drive V'rel insane.
He is a very caring dragon, and very loving. He's always trying to get V'rel to be more outgoing, but usually V'rel ignores these suggestions. The two of them have a very odd relationship, though it's clear that they are really close, as annoying as V'rel finds Kaloath at times. Kaloath is a rather small Onyx, and he's got rather large wings that make him extremely agile in the air. His tail is also a bit longer than the norm, which is a bit of a hindrance on the ground, but it makes it easy for him to stear in the sky, making him a lot more agile than most other Onyxs.
