Islands of Pern

Blue Weyrling I'bin

Name: I'bin (Ianbin) NPC/free
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Rank/Craft: Blue Weyrling
Residence: Ithaca Weyr

Description: Ianbin is not overly handsome, but wouldn't be considered ugly. He is fairly tall, a touch under six foot and still growing. The young man has unruly black hair, which in order to keep it in some semblance of order, he keeps it cut short.

His eyesight isn't perfect, so he often squints making his dark brown eyes look smaller then they truly are. Ianbin doesn't give much thought to his appearance, typically wearing whatever his mother makes for him. However, if given the choice he prefers darker colors.

Personality: Ianbin is carefree and a prankster by heart. His troublesome nature lands him quite often in hot water. Sometimes Ianbin takes things too far, and doesn't consider other feelings when he is pulling a prank. He is a touch on the arrogant side, pleased with his successes and usually blames his failures on others. The young man has some growing up, and maturing to do, but is good of heart, and very loyal to his friends.

Background: Ianbin was born into a poor but happy home. His father is a deep sea fisherman, and his mother a fisherman's wife, with all the work and worries that the job entails. Ianbin's father was offered a position at Founder's Tip when the hold opened and the man decided to pick up his small family, and get a taste of life in a new place.

Ianbin fell into his new home with no problems and met Lugonalas, his closest friend, on his first day at Founder's Tip. The two boys hit it off immediately and spent almost every waking moment in each other's company. They fished together, swam together, explored together, and of course terrorized the Hold's residents together. Ianbin's and Lugonalas's names are most times said as one.

Dragon's Name: Nyth
Color: Blue
Age: Less than a Turn (Weyrling Class 37)
Age of Rider at Impression: 16

Description: Nyth is already big by blue standards, and if he continues to stay at the same size ratio compared to his other blue clutchmates he will certainly end up being nearly as big as a small brown. He is a deep, rich blue with a very faint pattern of light blue on his neck and tail. His wings, neck, and tail are all in perfect proportion, though some might say his legs are a little long.

Personality: Unlike his rider, Nyth seems to possess a bit of a vain streak in him when it comes to his appearance. His favorite past times are preening, being washed, and being oiled. He does share his rider's mischievousness and isn't above pulling pranks on I'bin or his fellow dragonets. If he ever gets caught he tries to push the blame off onto others. He usually recruits his rider's best friend's dragon Searinth as his partner-in-crime, even if the brown is reluctant at times.
