Name: G'lay Age: 25 Gender: Male Rank/Craft: Bronze Rider; Senior Journeyman Harper Residence: Ithaca Weyr Description: G'lay is of average height and a little on the thin side of having an average build, with light, reddish blond hair and green eyes. The bronzerider is nearly always smiling, giving his face a very boyish, but not at all unattractive, appearance. His voice is rich and pleasant sounding, giving him a sort of quiet dignity completely at odds with his eager appearance. Personality: G'lay has a very positive outlook on life, despite being sentenced upon Impression to an eternity of risking his skin fighting Thread. A Harper prior to the day he became Qwath's chosen, G'lay has the intelligence that often accompanies one of his former craft. He is fiercely loyal and exceedingly popular. G'lay lacks the ambition and arrogance generally associated with men partnered with bronzes, a fact which surfaced often during his weyrling training with his disinterest in learning the duties of wingleader and wingsecond. Simply put, G'lay would rather avoid the responsibilities of leadership, and many wonder why a bronze, of all colors, chose him in the first place. Background: Gustalay was quite happy in his position of Senior Journeyman Harper, in charge of teaching the younglings at a minor holding beholden to Fort. He excelled in his Craft, and many thought he had a chance at achieving the rank of Master much earlier than most. The dilemma over whether he would welcome such a change was solved abruptly the day a blue dragon on Search decided the Journeyman should stand for the clutch currently hardening on Fort Weyr's sands. Gustalay, a Harper ingrained with respect for the Weyr, could hardly refuse such an honor and before long he found himself whisked away from everything known and comfortable. Though the young man found himself to be considerably older than most of the exuberant youngsters who could now call themselves candidates, he managed to fit in quite well. Always one to welcome learning new information, Gustalay found the Candidate classes stimulating and enjoyable. Once Hatching finally occurred, the second bronze to crack his shell made a beeline for the Senior Journeyman Harper and Impression was made. Becoming a weyrling was not all fun and games, but despite the fact that G'lay hadn't done anything that could actually be termed manual labor in his entire life, he adjusted quite well. Not long after graduation, the bronze pair decided to set out for new places and adventures at a recently formed Weyr in the Western Continent. Dragon's Name: Qwath Color: Bronze Age: 1 Age of Rider at Impression: 24 Description: Qwath is a smaller than average bronze with a darker than average hide. A threadscore decorates the dragon\'s left rear hip, a memento from the pair's First Blooding. Personality: Qwath is as gossipy as a green, though he swears up and down the stories he tells are nothing but the truth. He is well-liked and oft-admired by greens and golds alike, though the bronze tends to swing more toward the latter variety of females. The bronze will often say, good naturedly, the reason he avoids many gold flights is because he hasn't a Thread's chance in water of winning, due to his small size, though many speculate it is his rider who holds him back from participating. At any rate, the fact doesn't seem to bother the good-natured bronze any. |
