Name: R'malen Age: 21 Gender: Male Rank/Craft: Blue Weyrling, Journeyman Vinter Residence: Ithaca Weyr Description: R'malen is dark-skinned, in Earth terms his skin colour could be described as milk chocolate, and his hair is an unruly mop of black curls. He is very handsome and never has had any trouble about finding girls or boys to take to his bed. Personality: Although physically an identical twin with his brother, Narymal, Rymallen has assumed the role of the older brother - as he is by one full hour - and is more of a leader than N'mal. He is generally carefree in nature, but has some passions in life that he takes very seriously. His love for wine and perfecting the process of making it is one example. Becoming the best dragonrider ever has become a second serious goal. Background: Rymallen lived his whole life in Ista Hold, but he's seen more of Pern than most of the other holders, thanks to making several dragon-riding friends through his profession. Becoming a Vintner came naturally to the young lad, who was fascinated with wine much before his mother deemed it a suitable drink to the youngsters. In fact, it was her suggestion that if he liked wine so much, he should become a vintner. Narymal followed Rymallen's lead as always, and they were apprenticed to the Master Vintner at the age of thirteen Turns. Showing almost natural aptitude to winecrafting, Rymallen quickly advanced to Journeyman status. His love for weird pets was almost as well known in the Hold as was his habit of changing roles with Narymal, whenever they want to fool people. Their mother has no problems knowing one from the other, but very few outside their family can make the distinction. Thinking it a cunning plan to escape forced marriage, the brothers made their way to Ithaca Weyr, eventually managing to end up Searched for the clutch on the sands. The way they figured it, getting hitched with a dragon has to be better than getting hitched with a pregnant woman. As luck would have it, the twins now have a chance to find out whether this is true or not. Dragon's Name: Rimath Color: Blue Age: Less than a Turn (IW37-1) Age of Rider at Impression: 21 Description: Bright blue in colour, Rimath is small even for a hatchling, but the speed with which he is growing hints at least an average-sized adult blue. His tail is long and perfect for tripping people. Personality: Rimath is childish and playful, as most dragonets his age, and he often claims unable to control his tail, as it seems to be tripping people up much more often than is suitable. He loves R'malen with all his heart, but it's still a bit difficult for him to understand that Silly-nil isn't on the menu. Pet Name: Silly-nil Pet Species: Tunnelsnake Pet Description: About three feet in length, Silly-nil is one of the more harmless species of tunnelsnakes. His bite does hurt, but is not venomous, and only people's fingers and toes are in danger in any case. He is easily fed with insects and little pieces of meat and so Silly-nil's favourite pastime is to lay curled around Rymallen's neck like a striped ornament.
