Latest Updates

2023/08/04 Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Build:
Lanky/swimmer’s build
General Description:
Tall and thin, his facial features are unusual but he’s handsome in his own way. He has pale blue eyes with little bits of gold and orange in them when he stands in full light. His hair is a mass of curly brown with gold highlights, usually in some state of tousled. He’s always having to brush it back or flip it out of his face and keeps saying he’ll get it cut shorter but never does. He has a very prominent cupid’s bow, pronounced cheekbones, and a very angular look about him in general.
General Dressing Style:
Crisp, neat to a fault, in contrast to his hair. Earth tones with blue/green accents. Maybe a touch of something metallic if the occasion calls for it.

Loud people

Interruptions
Flaws:
Frequently comes off as arrogant
Forgetful when it comes to people.
Has little skill in the way of social tact
Habits & Mannerisms:
Moves his fingers around as if playing the violin, it’s a wholly unconscious gesture, especially when composing.
Fingers are usually stained of ink, as his compositions are a mess of smudges and notation, though in a very neat hand. It’s just the ink never dries fast enough.
Guards his klah because he needs the whole pitcher in the morning. Complete night owl.
Tends to speak aloud as though he is thinking.
Is fairly ambidextrous, though due to the stiffness in his right hand and wrist, he is now left-handed when it comes to finely detailed work.
General Personality:
He seems standoffish at first but that’s because he’s completely preoccupied by twenty other things that need his attention, none of them are remotely in front of him. Sometimes it’s things like wing strategy or how that one dragon’s bellow was the perfect note for something he’s composing (that no one will get to hear). Whatever the problem is, though, it’s not in front of him so he usually looks a little lost or distracted. Sometimes, his dragon has to redirect him to the present so he can actually interact with people. Usually, it winds up with him being momentarily irritated or snappish before he remembers that whatever he’s working on he can continue to work on in the back of his mind. Once that’s established, he’s quite friendly, you just have to anchor his attention and keep it.

His attention to detail rides over into the physical realm from his thoughts and he’s very sharp with faces but very poor on names, unless they mean something to him. He might never forget a face but he might forget, say, the Headwoman’s name on multiple occasions and have to be reminded. He does forget the names of those close to him, too, but they generally forgive him and are used to it. ‘You, there, in the lovely sweater’ or ‘gold haired chap’ -- are more likely than names. People just tend to bother him and their problems aren’t causing a crisis for him, so he just tends to sink himself into problems that matter or music he’s working on.

He frequently comes off as arrogant. It’s not that he thinks he’s the best (or close to it, at least) at his particular skill, just that he simply [/I]is[/I], and he has no qualms about saying so. When he finally warms up to a person and engages in conversation, he can actually be quite clever, warm, and even silly, at times.

Relationships:
Nothing significant.

A son and a daughter to two different lower cavern women as a result of losing Flights. He's lost track of names and ages, though.
Secrets:
nothing of note.
Known:
Weyrbred originally, set to apprentice early in life. Stolen, and in a case of absolute serendipity, ended up back with his family. Injured hand resulted in losing his ability to play much.

Blue Firelizard named Treble.
Important History:
709: Born to High Reaches greenrider Xyrina and her weyrmate bronzerider Tr’ell, they name their son Zyullaris, the first son after three daughters, with a fourth daughter (Nimuelan) born in mid 715 (half sister due to the one Flight his father’s bronze was outflown, and it is later found that he lost because he was in the early stages of plague and not at full health).
715 (5): Zyullaris picks up his father’s violin and demands he be taught how to play. He takes to it naturally. By the time he’s seven, he's putting together tunes and it's clear he'll have an ear for composition.
715 (6) Nemrith dies of plague. Tr’ell joins him immediately after, as Xyrina and Mirwyth take him between.
716 (7): With his already apparent natural talent, paired with the sizable family that will already be traveling, it is decided that young Zy will be left at his aunt and uncle’s cothold near Harper Hall to become the Harper he should be, while the rest of the family are among the first to depart to the South.
720 (11): Zy’s little tunes take root in the mind of a visiting Master Harper, who happens to be longtime family friend of Zy’s uncle. Zy's talents in both violin and composition are nurtured whenever the Master visits, as the man enjoys humoring the child with short, easy lessons.
721 (12): Officially becomes an Apprentice Harper, producing very good work, especially for someone so young.
727 (18): Officially tapped as Jr. Journeyman. Specializes in Violin, Composition. Developed a nice tenor for singing after his voice changed.
730 (21): Stolen by Katilan Searchriders and is surprised to be reunited with his mother and remaining sisters, Xyrellia and Nimuelan.
734 (24): 01.01.734 Impresses brown Rekorth. Now known as Xy’ris. within the first few months after Impressing, he Obtains a blue firelizard egg at the insistence of his dragon. Impresses blue Treble. Landslide at Katila Weyr! He and young Rekorth rescue Nimuelan from certain death. His right wrist was badly broken during his half-sister’s rescue, and infection set into the open wound it created, as well. While his hand was mercifully spared, despite the healers’ thoughts that it wouldn’t be, it never quite healed the same, becoming stiff and weak, and the last two fingers lost much of their functionality, (though he’ll never dream of making her feel at fault or to blame). His ring and pinky fingers remain stiff, along with the wrist joint, especially on cold days. While horrified at his losing the ability to play any complicated instruments, and he comes to terms with the fact that while he can’t play violin anymore, he can still ride Rekorth, as well as compose. He attempts to take up pipes instead, and while decent at them, they’re not quite to his liking. With some exercises, his wrist becomes mobile enough for basic strumming on guitar.
736 (26): Rekorth and Zy'ris relocate to Telgar, then Ista Weyr when it opens. Stays in touch with Nimuelan via lots of visits and letters.
738(28): Wildfires at Ista! Runs himself ragged trying to help, is devastated, like the others, at the loss of Peorray and gold Wydrith, particularly as they had Impressed from the same clutch.
742 (30): Relocates back to Telgar to be closer to his sisters.

Dragon Information
Name:
Rekorth
Colour:
Brown
Pronounced:
RAY-korth
Wing and Rank:
Wingrider of
Rekorth
Adult Stats
30 foot length, 13.5 foot tall, with a 45 foot wingspan.
Clutch Details:
Okalinath x Torath at Katila Weyr on the 01.01.734 [Clutch Page]
Weyrlinghood
As a hatchling, Rekorth is massive for his size, with very large feet that indicate he has much growing to do. His coloring is a surprise and is almost a red mottled brown with dappling of lighter shades on his flanks. He is on the fatter side at hatching but will grow into a lean beast in his Weyrlinghood days. His wingspan is much like his feet, oversized and something to grow into.
Rekorth
Adulthood
He quickly grows into his disproportionate frame, becoming a massive, sleek dragon as his coloring shifts to a slightly lighter brown and he becomes more mottled, the reddish tones staying in his feet and muzzle. His head is angular and looks more equine than his peers. As an adult he tops out at thirty feet in length landing his squarely in the middle of the size spectrum for browns. With a wingspan of forty five feet, it gives him plenty of staying power. His hide looks like burnished wood and the light and darks of it reinforce that.
Mindvoice
Smokey, bold, a beautifully musical baritone.
Personality
Rekorth is a beautiful soul; he’s steady, compassionate, and very in the here and now. He has to be, for his rider most certainly isn’t. For a dragon, he has a very strong memory for details his rider just might not register - names, for instance. And if he doesn’t remember a name, well, too bad, you’ve gained yourself a nickname. He’s a very musical dragon, constantly humming or chirping, always ready to harmonize.

He loves to comfort those who are down or in distress and can’t bear to see anyone sad. If he finds someone down (it doesn’t matter what they’re sad about, he’ll be a willing ear), he’s the first in on making them smile or even curling up around them as delicately as he can. He knows he’s still a fairly big dragon and is constantly careful of where he puts himself.
Quirks
Likes:
Firelizards - He loves the little cousins so much that Telgarian firelizards dot his hide with bright colours whenever he’s sunning himself. He loves their company ridiculously much and is always asking his rider to Impress more, though he’s only Impressed the troublesome Treble of yet.
Smelling anything his rider has to eat. If he could fit in the hall properly, he’d be sitting right there snorfing the entire table if he could. He won’t eat it, though, he just likes the smells.
Music -- He harmonizes with anything musical, usually unconsciously, humming to match in an absent sort of way.
Cuddling
Fish - Rekorth loves him some fish and will pop over to Ista with his rider just for a chance to catch something big.

Dislikes: Hunting, particularly Herdbeast, though he does of course feed. He’s very neat and deliberate with his kills, though, avoiding any needless suffering for everyone involved.
Human blood or dragon ichor: if there’s blood involved, Rekorth becomes a bit squeamish as he finds it a bit disturbing. He is oddly fine with his meals though.
