L’am
Pronunciation
LUH-AM
Age
20 Turns
Season Born in
Spring
Gender
Male
Sexuality
Bisexual
Appearance
L’am is dark and lithe. His hair is longer, and a bit shaggy, with a few white strands. He's not entirely sure how the white strands got there, but they've been there for as long as he can remember. His angular face is dotted with freckles, and usually has a bit of facial hair on it. He has bright blue eyes that rarely lack an odd sparkle of emotion. His lips are full, his features fair. He normally dresses in dark colours to emphasize his eyes, and frequently wears jewelry.
The Candidate walks with hunched shoulders most of the time, looking at the ground, due to his shyness around new people. When he warms up to them, however, his back straightens and his face becomes extraordinarily expressive. Around new people his voice is low and soft, quiet, barely audible, but again, once he warms up to people, however, there is quite a change. His voice becomes louder and more confident, and he laughs easily.
Personality
L’am is self-conscious. He's never truly sure of himself, and is always afraid he's going to make a mistake. He isn't trained in any sort of craft, though he wanted to be a Harper at one time, and thus fears he'll simply end up being a drudge forever, with no real talents to help him grow higher in society.
The Weyrling is also rather friendly. He looks dark and mean, which turns people away, but he probably doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He lacks friends purely because he's shy, not because he's mean. When he does warm up to someone, however, he is extremely kind-hearted and friendly.
L’am is also rather easy-going. He lacks any sort of real temper, and just kind of goes with the flow. He's extremely agreeable. This isn't to say he doesn't think for himself, however, because he does... he just finds it easier to follow along with others than to try and make his own ideas heard.
When roused to a temper, however, L’am can be rather fierce. He will devoutly protect those dear to him (though there are rather few), and will defend those less than him that cannot or will not defend themselves.
The Weyrling is curious about the world around him, but rarely exploits this trait, preferring to keep his head down and not attract any attention.

History
Liam was born to two drudges in Trelis Weyr. The pair were not expecting a child, nor did they want one. Liam grew up rather neglected, and learned to just keep his head down and do his work. When he was around five turns old, his mother passed away (he never learned of what), and he was left with a father that had never wanted a child, so he was dropped off with the weyrbrats.
Staying out of his father's way became Liam's way of life. He did his work, and avoided his father, rinse and repeat. His father was more than happy with this arrangement, and avoided the boy whenever possible. Liam had to learn to fend for himself, but it wasn't too hard... there were plenty of kind hands to reach out to him in the Weyr, especially in the creche with the rest of the children of the Weyr.
When he was around fifteen turns, his father died. Liam, again, never learned of what, but he suspected old age or perhaps alcohol poisoning, for his father was quite the alcoholic. Liam did not mourn his father's death.
The next five years passed slowly and in the same exact pattern as the rest of Liam's life... Work, eat, sleep, work, sleep, eat, rinse and repeat. It was a rather boring existence until one day, while assisting in the Weyr Bowl cleaning up after the Winter Gather, a dragonrider approached him and asked him to be a Candidate.
Liam wasn't all that fussed, but he accepted, knowing that being a dragon candidate was surely better than the life he was currently leading.
He's a bit worried about the Rebellion, because he has heard that "mutants" are a bit looked down on, and fears Impressing one. He's not sure he'd really mind Impressing a "mutant," but he's scared of the Rebellion, hearing they fight among themselves like savages and even kill. He hopes fervently that any dragon that would choose him would also be apposed to joining the Rebellion.
Just a few days after Kayath and Izanycorth, Trelis' Queens, laid their eggs on the sands, his old friend Cayin returned to the Weyr. Cayin had left on an apprenticeship, and as the boys had grown up together, Liam missed him terribly. Upon finding out that Cayin was to stay at the Weyr as a Candidate, he was ecstatic, and their friendship deepened into what eventually became romance.
As time drew nearer to the hatching, Liam made his enemies, however, in a fellow candidate named Ooma. The girl had a feverish crush on Cayin, and a great dislike of homosexual relationships. Liam defended Cayin in a fight, but lost miserably. Thankfully, his humiliating loss to a female led to a new friendship with another Candidate: Linda Mayno. Linda later gave Liam fighting lessons.
When the day of the hatching finally occurred, Liam was horribly mauled by a bronze. Thankfully, he had Linda as a friend, and the healer came to his rescue right before he Impressed to blue Fironth.
Liam, now L'am, knew that his Impression to Fironth meant the end of his romance with Cayin (for awhile), but the love Fironth gave him made up for it, and he looks forward to the day when he and Cayin train as Weyrlings and then Wingriders together.
Dragon
Burning Branch Blue Fironth
Impressed To: L'am
Pronunciation: Fear-on-th
Rank: Blue
Size: 28.5 Feet (5.7 Feet at Hatching)
Color Codes:
Base: 03578d
Head and Wing Tips: 1c8c93
Spots: 9de3e3, 4279ae, 2a6389
Leg Bands: 273740, 798a94
Appearance:
At first glance, Fironth seems almost more bird-like than dragon-like. His legs are long and spindly, seeming almost too thin to hold him up. His neck is long and droops slightly, ending in a small head with a sharp, beak-shaped snout. Fironth is a bit of a power house. A lot of his muscle seems to be localized to his chest and wings, leaving his back and short tail looking weak and gangly and giving this blue a rather awkward, lopsided appearance. His wings are by far the largest part of this blue. Long, broad and powerful, they almost seem too large for his frame and he will likely trip over them as a hatchling.
Fironth’s hide may remind onlookers of the ocean. His hide is a soft blue colour with random patches of lighter and darker hues, though the shift in colour is barely noticeable. The blue subtly shifts to a sea-green colour on his neck and the front of his wings. Like the crests of waves, his hide is littered with splashes of light, almost white speckles. The light blues and whites are found most prominently on his wing thumbs, tail and face. Around each ankle is a splattering of dark grey and silver lines that might remind one of arm bands or bracelets.
Everything about this blue’s posture screams calm relaxation. He rarely seems to tense, and can usually be found stretched out comfortably in the sun. When he walks or stands, he has an oddly hunched appearance, as if his neck is constantly weighed down. It is not unusual to see this dragon lounging about with his eyes closed or staring up at the sky in thought. When flying, his broad wings and knack for using thermals allows Fironth to remain in the air for quite some time. He almost seems to slice through the air when he flies.
Personality:
Thinker, Believes in Equality, Respectful, Schemer
Intelligent, compassionate, selfless - These are some of the first words that come to mind when thinking of Fironth. He's a quiet blue, not because he is shy or nervous, but because he is too busy thinking to say too much to anyone but His. This dragon believes in brain over brawn, preferring to think things through instead of simply rushing in. Fironth is a guardian of sorts, though he is the type to work from the shadows. A compassionate dragon, he cares about the general well-being of others. He hates seeing others taken advantage of because they don't have the power or ability to fight back.
Fironth is a respectful dragon. He obeys the commands of his superiors and his, usually without question. However, this blue is also a smart dragon and a subtle schemer. If he believes an order or something the superiors are doing will cause harm to others, he will plot and scheme to find some way to help the helpless, usually involving tricking the superiors into bending to his will. He is well aware that acting out against orders will come with consequences, but he is always ready to accept them with calm dignity. If there is one thing to say about Fironth, it is that he is completely unyielding once he has made a decision. Regardless of the pain it may cause him, or the trouble he may get into, he will see something through to the bitter end.
Fironth is friendly fellow, enjoy the warmth that comes with the companionship of others. He is incredibly supportive, especially when it comes to helping his rider. He can be flirty at times, but he tends to be more subtle in his advances, finding ways to make the females happy with his actions more than his words. He loves the act of gift-giving. He can be rather easy-going when it comes to playing, though there is a subtle dignity to his movements and words at all times.
Mind-Voice:
Someone needs to stand up for those who cannot. I’m sure there is something we can do.
Fironth has a warm, comforting voice that almost seems to lull his listeners into a state of ease. His voice tends to crack from time to time, but there is no mistaking the friendliness in his tone.
Inspiration:
Prometheus
Fironth drew his inspirations from the myths of the Greek hero Prometheus. Known as the Fore-thinker, Prometheus became a hero to the people for going against the will of the gods for the sake of mankind, regardless of the consequences. He is most known for stealing fire from the hearth of the gods and giving it to man, for which he was punished to have his liver eternally eaten by vultures. Fironth’s personality draw’s from Prometheus’ desire to help those who could not help themselves. His hide is based on the flood in the myth and the iron fetters shackled to his wrists, and his build is based on the vultures. His name is a combination of the words Fire and Iron.

Thunder

THUN-DURR
Age:
Two Turns
Type:
Dog
Size:
Large Dog
Color Codes:
FFFFFF
Appearance:
Thunder is a large dog, with a thick, shaggy coat. He stands about thirty-two inches at the shoulder, and has a deep, barrel chest and a loud, booming, echoing bark. His ears are a bit gray-yellow, unlike the rest of him, which is a clean snowy-white. Thunder has a solid black nose and kindhearted, soft brown eyes which have the ability to turn anyone into mush when he is begging for food.
Personality:
Thunder was primarily bred as a guard dog, and thus, guarding L’am is a main part of his personality. However, he is also rather goofy and playful. He loves running around playing silly games with L’am, and snuggling up to his owner at night. He's now inherently mean, but will growl or back at someone he thinks might be a threat to L’am. Once L’am gives the okay, however, he is warm and friendly and goofy to whoever this new person may be. If it's a friend of L’am's, it's a friend of his!

CAV-AH-LOH

Runnerbeast

Personality:
Cavallo is powerful in personality, too. He is not mean, but he can be difficult to ride at times. He is stubborn at best, and determined. What he wants, he gets, whether because L’am gives in... or he somehow forces his way into getting what he wants.
