Brown Weyrling L'glas

Name: L'glas (Lugonalas or "Nalas") NPC/free
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Rank/Craft: Brown Weyrling
Residence: Ithaca Weyr

Description: Lugonalas -- or Nalas for short, as his friends call him -- is tall, standing a bit over six feet, and stocky. His large stature can sometimes be intimidating, a quality that he uses to his advantage quite often. He has soft curling brown hair, soulful grey eyes, and a face that is generally considered handsome by most. The young man isn't overly concerned with his appearance, but keeps himself looking neat.

Personality: Lugonalas is generally quiet and distant, which makes him seem aloof by others' standards. However, it is that mysterious quality that makes the females of the Weyr go crazy over him. He doesn't try to attract their attention or make any real efforts to look handsome, he just is. Lugonalas enjoys the favorable comments on his looks, so perhaps there is a streak of vanity in him. He does have friends, but doesn't make new ones easily, usually sticking to a tight knit group. The young man is a touch on the arrogant side and is sometimes considered a bully, but his quiet control over his emotions usually doesn't let things go too far.

Background: Lugonalas's parents were small time holders on the Southern Continent, and beholden to Southern Hold. The small hold's main staple was their fishing industry, but they did some farming and other less than reputable businesses. Lugonalas' father is a drunk and among other poor qualities the man has a gambling problem. He neglected his hold in favor of his unsavory hobbies, until finally it failed completely. The bitter and resentful man picked up his four children and his rather angry wife and moved them to Founder's Tip Hold to work under somebody other than his father, for the first time in his life.

Lugonalas's life didn't improve much with his new home. His parents constantly fought, his mother was angry that her husband had cost them their home, and his father was just plain angry. The sour man didn't lose his bad habits, if anything they increased, and his children often felt the brunt of his anger.

Then one fine day, some months after he moved to Founder's Tip, Lugonalas met Ianbin. The other boy was a breath of fresh air in the midst of his dysfunctional home and the two boys hit it off right away. From then on, they could always be found in each others company.

Now, at sixteen, the only thing keeping Nalas from escaping his family is the fear of losing his best friend if he were to leave.

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

Description: Searinth's hide is a very light brown, almost appearing to be tan. His wings are decorated with small blotches of a darker brown, while his tail tip seems to be even lighter than the rest of his body. He was one of the smaller browns in his clutch, but looks like he could possibly become a mid-sized brown when he is fully grown.

Personality: Searinth is a bit on the bossy side. He can at times be as 'arrogant as a bronze' as most people say, and likes to order his rider and his fellow dragonets around. The only individuals who seem to be immune to his attitude are his rider and his clutchmate Nyth. He often tags along with the young blue, even if he feels like he is too serious to stoop to playing "silly pranks".
