North: Early Autumn| South: Early Spring 13.4 to 21.0 C | 13.8 C to 25.6 C Following the disastrous fires (sometime in around the 28th of Month 08), Ista Isle has found itself suddenly in the midst of constant rain; not enough to flood, but a steady, dreary downfall that seems to only take a time out for a couple of hours here and there, before coming back again. Its cast the entire sooty Isle into a sombre and depressed mood. Alongside the rain, the weather is muggy and while not hot, is not particularly cool, either. The rest of Northern Pern is getting their usual weather, though they, too, have been called to action following the wildfires that savaged Ista. Many individuals who called Ista Island home have been relocated not just to Ista Weyr, Ista Hold or Sea Cliff Hold, but also to other areas of Pern, whether with family or friends. The Red Star can be seen by those who choose to see it, causing no shortage of whispers that Thread will return - and just as much dismissal from those who do not believe. After all, it's been so long, surely it is no longer a threat! Weyrleaders are, regardless, beginning to put together wings in their Weyrs, if only to keep troublesome and bored riders busy. North: Late Summer | South: Late Winter 17.4 to 25.5 C | 10.8 C to 23.2 C Ista is still unseasonably warm - 37 to 45 C - has resulted in an incredibly dry summer, with little to no rain. This was climaxed by a dry thunderstorm, the results of which caused three fires to start across the Island on the 24.07.739 in the early morning hours. While the results of this are yet to be played out, the events will no doubt leave more than just the scarring of the land.

North: Mid Summer | South: Mid Winter 18.0 to 26.6 C | 10.2 C to 21.9 C Ista is still unseasonably warm, with average weather being in the 37 to 45 C range, making it now a more than slightly undesirable escape for the rest of the Northern population from the more enjoyable early summer weather. There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind. Ista's limited farmlands and fields are dry and dusty, with golden straw instead of grass where there is any growth at all. Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are still getting a lot of evening rain and the occasional thunderstorms, which cools down the populus and allows them to sleep easily without sweating their brains out like the Istans.

North: Late Spring | South: Late Autumn 9.9 C to 18.4 C | 13.7 C to 24.5 C Ista is still unseasonably warm, with average weather being in the 32 to 40 C range, making it a highly desirable escape for the rest of the Northern population from the chilly mid-spring weather. There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind. Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are getting a lot of rain, thunderstorms, and cloudy days. Grass is growing, flowers flowering, and baby animals popping up all over the place! Yay spring!

North: Early Spring | South: Early Autumn −1.9 C to 4.7 C | 20.0 C to 29.0 Spring has sprung, with the snow slowly melting in much of the North, creating mushy grounds and greyish, icy snow piles that are doing their best to melt. In comparison, Ista finds itself uncommonly warm (~12C / 53.6) and many people who can find rides are making their way to the Island to spend some time in warmth and sunshine, away from the lingering touch of winter. Katila is beginning to cool down to more reasonable temperature, but is no less muggy and uncomfortable to those who are not used to the seasons. It is still a good place to escape to when seeking a warm day or a nice swim at the lake, though.

North: Late Winter | South: Late Summer −5.6 C to 0.4 C | 21.3 C to 30.0 The late-season weather is settling, with much of the Northern hemisphere coated in snow (the exception being the much warmer Ista region) while Katila remains humid and sweltering in the height of Summer.

North: Late Autumn | South: Late Spring Autumn is coming to an end, with the days slowly becoming shorter still, with early nights and late mornings. The temperature is getting very cool, with jackets being more required, but it has yet to actually snow. Despite this, it is often raining and miserable. The Southern contient is in full bloom, with flowers coming to life in the grasses and on the trees. The skies are bright blue with fluffy clouds, and occassional sunshowers bringing a dampness to the day. The nights are still crisp, but not cold. The ground is starting to dry up as water is absorbed by the blooming flora. North: Mid Autumn | South: Mid Spring Autumn is in full tilt, with the leaves a shocking array of orange and red, and more of them on the ground than on the trees. The skies are often a clear and crisp blue, with a cool breeze flowing, shifting the leaves and sending them scattering. Rain is not common, but when it does roll in the skies are dark like night come early, and thunderstorms are not uncommon, though they don't last for long and the amount of rain that falls isn't too heavy.

The skies are bright blue with fluffy clouds, and occassional sunshowers bringing a dampness to the day. The nights are still crisp, but not cold. The ground is starting to dry up as water is absorbed by the blooming flora. North: Start Autumn | South: Start Spring Nothern regions are entering into Autumn, with the trees beginning to change to their reds and oranges, while the air is beginning to feel more crips. There are still more warm days than cool, and the nights are mostly warm enough for light bedding still. Rain has faded away and most days are clear and bright. The Southern contient finds itself heading into spring, with rain and flowers vying for attention. The ground is often muddy and squishy, while the skies are either bright and blue, or overcast wtih fluffy clouds. North: End Summer | South: End Winter Summer is winding to an end in the Northern hemisphere, with the weather slowly cooling and the trees beginning to turn their leaves. The days are still long and bright, but the sun is beginning to lose some of its strength. The coastal Weyrs are falling victim to coastal storms, strong winds and heavy rains with thunder and lightening. The more inbound Weyrs and Holds find themselves drier, not getting nearly as much rain or storms, they find themselves on the end of a long drought. North: Mid Summer | South: Mid Winter Summer is in full spring in the Nothern hemisphere, with the bulk of each day being unbearbly hot, followed by vicious thunderstorms and heavy humidity in the evenings and at night. The coastal areas are experiencing monsoon like weather, and spend a lot of their time locked away in Hold, Hall or Weyr. The more inner locations find themselves faced with more dry heat during the day, and horrible humidity in the evening and at night while the thunderstorms rage. |

History is almost complete, and the profile has been re-coded. All new characters will need to go onto the new profile, but all old can keep their current! We'll begin advertising properly over the next couple of weeks, once the history has been completed, and probably after the weekend of the 8th and 9th, because that is when ThistleProse is having her birthday. We officially have two layouts! You can post here with any issues you find, or request any changes! If you find any bugs or issues, plese repot them here, and we will do our best to fix them in a timely manner. |

Appearance
Eyes: Large, almond-shaped, and chocolate brown.
Hair: Straight black hair that is kept in a short shag that he doesn't put much effort into styling.
Height: 5'10
General Appearance: In both height and build, Quintalis is average, perhaps even slightly below the expected standard. He has yet to fully shed his boyish shape that gives his face an innocent and, some would say, innocent baby face. His body shows a man that has lifted heavy objects in his life and doesn't over-eat at the table, showing just the slightest hint of a budding six pack.
Dressing Style: When he was helping at the tavern, he followed the code of practical yet trendy. Farnath forbid anyone think they were scraping the bottom of the social barrel or showed any reputable customer a rip or snare in a sleeve.
In his down time, Quinvalis preferred simple attire. Colour didn't matter to him and even the latest style meant nothing to him, so long as it fit, was clean, and comfortable.

Personality
General Character Traits: Quinvalis quietly struggles with depression, brought on by the loss of his father at a young age and being kicked out of the farm that should have one day been his. It was hard losing everything he had known to people he had always thought to be loving family but to then watch his mother wait tables and help in her family's tavern didn't help. He wanted the best for her but he couldn't do much as a child. As he got older, he tried to pick up more shifts when it came to cooking, cleaning, and even serving. When it became obvious his cousin might think of him as competition a true sense of insignificance and that he just wasn't worth anything.
Now, given his chance at possibly Impressing a dragon and having a life of his own, Quinvalis is very eager to prove his worth both as a Candidate and as a vital part of the Weyr. This desire intensifies when R'nya is around as he sees the bronzerider as a somewhat father figure but also the definition of a dragonrider. While he's not sure if it'd ever be likely that he'd be Weyrleader one day, let alone simply Impressing a bronze, Quinvalis is motivated to do his best and might even over extend himself in his attempts to show everyone he's not just some poor farmer's boy that had to grow up in a tavern.
He still has his moments of struggling with self-worth and if people truly like or appreciate him but Quinvalis adapts wherever he is and continues to try his best. Outside of chores and away from the watchful eyes of his superiors, Quinvalis relaxes a bit more and can be playful and can have fun with anyone he calls friend; which may only be a select few given his trust issues brought on by not knowing if anyone is plotting against him like most of his own family seemed to be.
Habits/Mannerisms: He is a neat-freak; constantly tidying up thanks to keeping his mother happy when he was younger and never feeling like the tavern was his home and he would be intruding if he was messy. He'll occassionally drag his feet when his mood is low.
Opinions:
Threadfall Theory: R'nya believes it'll come back and that's good enough for him.
Stealing/Kidnapping: Again, he is of the same opinion as R'nya that it was bad for their reputation but it was needed.
Firelizards: They're cool! He doesn't have one yet but he hopes to get an egg soon.
Return North: He's happy! He only had tales from older people about them but now he gets to see them and his mom is friends with a dragonrider!
Likes:
His necklace: It was his mother's and she gave it to him the day he was Searched, saying how proud she was of him. It's a simple thin chain with a small red gem on it. Quilriana has had it since she was a girl and says it's a piece of her heart going with him. Quinvalis never takes it off.
Sleep: He never seems to get enough. Growing up on a farm meant early rising. Helping in a tavern meant late to bed at times and early to rise to help prep food. Now, Weyr life has him getting up early for lessons or chores. One day he'll feel like he's getting enough.
Baths Ater a day of playing with or cleaning up horses, it inspires you to bathe daily. Working in a kitchen also has people ensuring you're at least washing your hands.
Dislikes:
Cats: It's not that he hates them but he's allergic and they make him sneeze and itch horribly.
Strategy: He's not that great at thinking a step or two ahead of the game. His mother always beat him in games like chess and even in lessons when he's given a problem to solve, Quinvalis struggles with thinking outside the box. He'd rather just get to the solution or location without plotting everything out.
Being Late: Quinvalis does his best to be on time or even a tad early. He feels it shows he's not interested in what he's showing up for if he's not punctual.
Strengths:
Hard-working: Quinvalis puts his all into what he does as he wants to take pride in what he produces.
Respectful: His mother made sure he always showed those older than him and in higher positions than him the proper respect they deserved. Not wanting to disappoint her, Quinvalis is always polite to those of higher rank than himself.
Great Listener: He may not be good at giving any advice, but he'll listen to everything you have to say in silent support of what's on your mind or he's simply paying attention to a lesson or directive.
Flaws:
Intense Headaches: While they don't happen on a regular basis, Quinvalis gets a pounding headache in his left temple that at best leaves him wincing and closing his eyes for a moment and at worst, he needs to sleep through the pain.
Reactive: Like most people, he has certain subjects that will set him off if they're insulted or made fun of. He tries his best not to let it get the best of him but sometimes a man simply can't let an insult fly without a fist flying back in return.
Trust Issues: Given his extended family keeps seeing him as a threat and taking away what should be his or worrying he might take what isn't, Quinvalis takes a while to fully open up to people and let them get close.
Now, given his chance at possibly Impressing a dragon and having a life of his own, Quinvalis is very eager to prove his worth both as a Candidate and as a vital part of the Weyr. This desire intensifies when R'nya is around as he sees the bronzerider as a somewhat father figure but also the definition of a dragonrider.

Return North: He's happy! He only had tales from older people about them but now he gets to see them and his mom is friends with a dragonrider!
Likes:
His necklace: It was his mother's and she gave it to him the day he was Searched, saying how proud she was of him. It's a simple thin chain with a small red gem on it. Quilriana has had it since she was a girl and says it's a piece of her heart going with him. Quinvalis never takes it off.
Sleep: He never seems to get enough. Growing up on a farm meant early rising. Helping in a tavern meant late to bed at times and early to rise to help prep food. Now, Weyr life has him getting up early for lessons or chores. One day he'll feel like he's getting enough.
Baths Ater a day of playing with or cleaning up horses, it inspires you to bathe daily. Working in a kitchen also has people ensuring you're at least washing your hands.
Dislikes:
Cats: It's not that he hates them but he's allergic and they make him sneeze and itch horribly.
Strategy: He's not that great at thinking a step or two ahead of the game. His mother always beat him in games like chess and even in lessons when he's given a problem to solve, Quinvalis struggles with thinking outside the box. He'd rather just get to the solution or location without plotting everything out.
Being Late: Quinvalis does his best to be on time or even a tad early. He feels it shows he's not interested in what he's showing up for if he's not punctual.
Strengths:
Hard-working: Quinvalis puts his all into what he does as he wants to take pride in what he produces.
Respectful: His mother made sure he always showed those older than him and in higher positions than him the proper respect they deserved. Not wanting to disappoint her, Quinvalis is always polite to those of higher rank than himself.
Great Listener: He may not be good at giving any advice, but he'll listen to everything you have to say in silent support of what's on your mind or he's simply paying attention to a lesson or directive.
Flaws:
Intense Headaches: While they don't happen on a regular basis, Quinvalis gets a pounding headache in his left temple that at best leaves him wincing and closing his eyes for a moment and at worst, he needs to sleep through the pain.
Reactive: Like most people, he has certain subjects that will set him off if they're insulted or made fun of. He tries his best not to let it get the best of him but sometimes a man simply can't let an insult fly without a fist flying back in return.
Trust Issues: Given his extended family keeps seeing him as a threat and taking away what should be his or worrying he might take what isn't, Quinvalis takes a while to fully open up to people and let them get close.

736 & 13: His mother asks R'nya to take him to Fort Weyr with him to give him a better chance at something. She worries his cousins will think he's after the inheritance of the tavern but also sees the sparkle in his eyes whenever he gets to see Xyreith.

RP Sample
Quinvalis stared at the necklace he held in the palm of one hand. His mother had told him to close his eyes and hold one out. A moment later, he felt something drop into it and he slowly opened his eyes to see the familiar piece of jewellery that seemed so odd now that it wasn't around his mother's neck. In truth, it wasn't anything special, but to him, it was the most amazing thing he had seen. It was a simple silver chain of distant thickness that made it sturdy enough to last the wear and tear of decades and dangling from it was a small beautiful deep red stone. He knew the simple tale that went with the piece; it was given to his mother by his grandmother when she was betrothed to his father and it seemed like Quilriana had always cherished it and fiddled with it when she was lost in thought or humming to herself while they were on a picnic with his little sister and R'nya.
He was confused for a moment as to why it was now in his hands and one look at the tears threatening to spill from Quilriana's eyes made it clear what the intention was. However, before he could give it back and say he couldn't take such a treasure -- his grandma had died years before and they didn't have much in sentimental value of her -- his mother spoke and all protests died instanty.
She was proud of him and the future being Searched would give him and that tiny red gem was a piece of her heart that he was to take with him so she'd always be near. He was a man of thirteen years now and men didn't cry, especially not in front of their role model. A quick glance at R'nya showed the bronzerider still nearby but whether or not he was listening was hard to say. A flush stained Quinvalis' cheeks at realizing the older man likely heard everything and his reputation had probably just died before he even stepped a foot onto Fort Weyr soil. Then again, R'nya had been around them for years and he knew his mom well and how she was with her kids. The fact that R'nya never said anything bad about him or his mom and sister made the bronzerider even cooler in his eyes.
Not risking words as he was worried he'd stumble over the gratitude or burst into tears, Quinvalis nodded his understanding with a small smile and slipped the necklace on. Once it was resting high on his chest, almost in line with his heart, a larger smile showed as he looked down at it, liking the view. After a few moments of admiring it, however, Quinvalis tucked it under his shirt, murmuring something about not wanting it to get dirty or fall off. It'd be safe under his shirt and he liked the new sensation of it hanging on his neck and resting directly against his skin. He'd never take the necklace off, fully believing it to be a part of his mother's heart with the warmth and comfort it brought him.
As he turned to go pack -- he had told R'nya he wanted to head out as soon as possible since his excitement wouldn't let him rest in his own bed after knowing he'd been Searched and was a step closer to bonding to a dragon of his own -- Quilriana's words finally hit him. His mom was proud of him. She likely didn't know how much that meant to him. She had always been there for him, especially after his dad died, and he wanted to work just as hard as she had for him and prove it wasn't wasted.
His smile stayed in place as he disappeared back inside the tavern to head to his tiny room and pack. His mother was proud and it was a wonderul feeling.
