Name: Zephan
Gender: male
Age: 12
Season:
Sexuality: undecided
Rank: Candidate/weyrbrat
Hair: dark brown
Eyes: hound brown
Height: 5’2’’
Weight: 96lb
Description:
A short skinny boy who looks younger than he really is. Zephan’s still in the gangling colt sort of stage of growing with limbs seeming to be a bit long for his body and apparently far more knees than any human should have.
His hair is dark brown and badly in need of a cut, it even looks like it needs cutting when it's just been cut, he is forever flicking it out of his eyes. His face is often serious, and his large mid brown eyes give him the look of a trusting hound, this impression is reinforced by the way Zephan slinks along when he's somewhere he thinks he shouldn't be. When he smiles it's a short flash like light reflecting of a sharp edge.
History:
Zephan was just another weyrbrat in Ista weyr, a flightbrat fostered with one of the lower caverns workers, a woman with four older fosterlings, plus two grown children of her own. Although Zephan’s foster mother cared for him she didn’t have much time to give him once he got past the dependant stage.
As a young weyrbrat Zephan spend his time, outside of lessons and the chores he highly resented, following random dragonriders around and sometimes getting in the way. As he grew a little older, still desperate to make friends with dragons and firelizards, Zephan began to be a little more helpful to their humans at least, always eager to fetch and carry for anyone who would let him spend a second of time with their winged friend.
At ten turns Zephan was forced to take up more responsibility as the plague struck dragons, though he could do little to help the dragons Zeph did his best to take up any task he could to free up those who could care for them. In that short time he grew to fear more than any other thing the heartbroken keening of mourning dragons.
After the plague had run it’s course Zephan thought life would return to normal after a while, not a hope, shortly it was established that the remaining queens had been rendered infertile, except Lyeth, maybe. However since there was nothing he could do Zephan tried not to worry too much and got on with things. One of those things was Impressing his own firelizard when a wild clutch was discovered.
Now Zephan is old enough to stand as a candidate, Lyeth is old enough to Fly, the whole of Pern might explode from the tension, and Stardust is one the most spoiled firelizards in the Weyr. What will happen next.
Personality:
Zephan’s usually the quiet type, the person who always stands at the back of the crowd and hangs around on the edge of conversations. Sometimes it seems like he's holding himself aloof from others or possibly rather stupid but in fact he's really rather shy and doesn't know what to say. Zephan’s been the youngest fosterling, in other words the victim of the pranks, so he tends to be a little worried when another youngster asks him to go somewhere or do something in case it's a new prank.
He tends to be a very private person hiding both his disasters and triumphs inside himself, perhaps because it often seems that the only thing Zephan has to himself are his secrets. Zephan values the traits of kindness and honesty and tries to emulate them wherever possible with varying degrees of success; sometimes a young boy just can’t help being selfish.
Above all other things Zephan values his firelizard, Stardust, because he knows his little blue will never intentionally make a fool of him and will certainly never set him up to fail.
Pets:
Name: Stardust
Species: firelizard
Age: 1 turn
Colour: Blue
Appearance: This firelizard’s fanciful name suits him down to the ground, his hide is a dark midnight blue dusted with off white freckles. His wings appear to belong to a bronze, in size that is, and he can be clumsy in the air, overshooting the mark by a ways and occasionally tumbling tail over snout.
Personality: You might think that Stardust’s clumsiness would be his downfall but no, to this blue it’s a show, he looks up brightly from his crash landings as if expecting applause and seems to bask in the rounds of giggles he inspires. He’s an affectionate little beastie and loves all the attention he can get.
For Candidates:
Honorific: Z’an
Preferences: Hrrrmmm, this is a tough one, a confident dragon I think or maybe one that’s confident about most things but has one or two hidden fears, perhaps overconfident or none too bright to make Zephan take a bit of responsibility.
Other: Zephan’s still growing so his height and weight are going to change.
Adoptable: yeah, I guess
