Name Ka'mond
Pronunciation KAHALMOND
Age 14 turns
Season Born in Spring
Gender Male
Sexuality Heterosexual
Appearance Ka'mond is a strong built man. He is made ready to fight, to survive. His arms and legs are well muscled, his body a balanced, wiry thing of power. Despite his advantages, being raised how he was made its impact. Becoming a wheeling and rider was a leap down the ladder of work. Compared to fight for his life, for food, for land, battling beast and man alike... Wyer life was vacation.
Ka'mond has a deep tan over his body, his skin is a velvety coarse texture. His face is nothing special, plain perhaps. His hazel eyes are always so friendly, so... unjudging. His head is covered by a wild mane of white-blonde hair, that dangles in his face in a messy, but cute way.
His clothing consists of dyed hide and leather, the usual hardy trousors and thick wherry hide boots. Nothing fancy.
Although on his left hand he wears a colorful bead bracelet from Kaine.
Personality Ka'mond is a good natured character. He is friendly, and outgoing and has very few fears.
Talkative- Many people get annoyed when this boy comes around. He is excessively curious and wants to now everything. Question after question after question will be asked, then he'll move on to a new topic. Kaine liked to say 'He's 'bout as focused as a fire lizard.'
Curious- Hopefully the saying 'Curiousity killed the cat' doesn't go for little boys or else, Ka'mond would be dead a million times over. This is good for him in ways that he learns fast, learns more deeply into things and LOVES to learn. He is a all around good student, except for his excited outbursts of questions. During lessons he will randomly, sometimes, ask a tottally unrelated question, just because something the teacher or another student said reminded him of something.
Caring- Ka'mond is a guy with a a HUGE heart, and a carefree loving nature that just either makes people adore him, or hate him. There isn't really a 'sorta like' or 'don't really like'. You either hate him or love him. But what little he has he will not hesitate to share if the need comes.

Foster mother: Kaine- Housemaid/wife in a small town near Trelis weyr.
Location Tiny almost inexistant village near Trelis Weyr. NOW: Trelis Weyr
Rank Weyrling
Wing/Pack Anyone.
History Ka'mond never met his real parents. Kaine says that when 'you was a teeny babe I found ya cryin' in a deserted house a ways from my house.' The rest of that story goes on to explain that either his parents abandoned him, or were never able to make it back home to him for some reason... But Kaine was and is a mother to Ka'mond. She has bad grammar, rough country ways, but Ka'mond wouldn't want anyone other than her.
Kaine always made Ka'mond play outside, to keep him strong and healthy and for him to grown. Thanks to that, he is a fairly good swimmer, and his lungs are strong. He rarely gets sick, and knows so many plants and animals and wild ways of doing things.
He recieved some schooling, and is still recieving teaching, but occasionally will talk like Kaine.
Ka'mond had a fairly decent childhood, although he had very few friends, really none. All were just the farmers and workers who would pass through the tiny village.
But at one time, a merchent passed through, bringing his daughter of Ka'mond's age. She was a frail little thing, and she had been invited to a hatching in Trelis Wyer. Since Ka'mond was so close to her at the time, she invited him with her, and that is how Ka'mond ends up at the hatching. The girl, her name was Roslun, was content sitting crowded with the other people, hardly able to even see what was happening.
But curious like he is, Ka'mond could not sit so far from the action. Not only did he feel suffacated, but it was boring. But it wasn't only that. Something inside him was stirring. Something he had never felt or known before. He felt... wild, anxious. Something... this feeling seemed to drag him to his feet and toward the sands. Stumbling, he went to the railings, and lost his balance in the uproar of the first hatching. He fell from from the railings!And landed into the soft sands.
He was not hurt, as the sand cusioned his fall. He could have fallen from a cliff and not noticed. His mind was heavily focused, clouded. He had one interest, though he did not know it. The curious boy had no idea what made he touch the purple egg. He knew nothing of dragons. Even as a babe he had not been interested, partially because he was so closed from the world. But now, all he wanted was to run his hands all over the egg, the heat of it making his hands tingle. The screams of shock, confusion and anger were only the faintest of muffled whispers. This...This was where he wanted to live. With this feeling...
His excitment was quickly shattered when the egg shook violently, shards of the thick purple shell cutting the boy's wrist.
He shrieked, falling backwards, only to have the hatchling fall on top of him.
Both hatchling and child thrashed, until Ka'mond got ahold of himself. He froze, and despite the intense pain he relaxed. What little he knew of dragons he made up with knowledge of being raised in the tough lifesytle he was. Never make sudden noises or movements.
Gritting his teeth, he forced a calm voice.
He murmered so sweet things, and carefully wrapped his arms around the hatchling. Blood spilled from his cheek, down his arms, but esspecially from his chest. Never had something hurt so bad.
But in a way, he didn't hurt, in a way he was happy.
Mine? Mine? Are you ok? My name.. My name is Abyrath.
He realized, now he was a rider, without being a canidate. He.. he was no longer a lowly little village boy... What would happen next?
Ka'mond faced the crowd, gripping his chest and arm.
There were many angry faces, shouts of mean things..
And he thought. What have I done?
As he trained as a candidate and future rider, so many people disapproved of him. Ka'mond knew what he did was not tradition, but wasn't this an honor? These ideas conflicted many times.
And then he'd wonder, of all the Colorado and ranks, why such a lowly mutation? A poor farmer kid must not be of value, or of interest to hatchlings... and as grim as his thoughts were, Abyrath was the only dragon for him. She is a gift, a treasure, his only and greatest friend. He would die for her, and even when he became sad, just knowing he is loved by such a dragon makes things ok.
Despite his love of people, Weyr life is not Ka'monds cup of tea. He misses the wide freedoms he had, where he'd eat a bite as the sun rose and would be gone exploring until dusk. Now he had chores, stupid quests and homework. He hardly had time for himself. But he began to sneak out at night, and meet Abyrath in the woods or the beach. They would run and play awhile, and slip back into their places before they where missed..
And this still happens every other night for these two.
And nothing will be the same for Ka'mond. He knows of the cruel talk behind his back, the foul lies that spread. But sincerely, if Ka'mond had another chance, he would not do anything differently. And he enjoys being an Amethyst rider. No matter how degrading, he knows that he and Abyrath are unique.
