9.9 C to 18.4 C | 13.7 C to 24.5 C
Ista is heating up swiftly, and preparing for a rough summer - hopefully nothing like the one from a couple turns before with the wildfires! The rest of Northern Pern is warming upsomewhat slower, but with no less gusto as summer begins to creep into the sky, keeping the sun awake longer, warming the ledges of the weyrs. Rainstorms are sporadic, but keep the world well watered, despite the heat of the days.
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.
Winter -3 - 2 C | 26 - 35 F
Fort is already home to snowfalls, though early in the month they fade away when the sun rises. As the month progresses, more snow stays on the ground, ending up with several feet of snow before the month is over. The areas around homes and populations has the snow shoveled away or trodden down. Icicles attached to Weyr ledges prove some danger and are routinely removed.
Ista Boundaries:
Winter, 9 - 21 C | 48 - 69 F
Generally warm enough to go about without a jacket on, Ista has low humidity but high chance of rain, generally in the form of vicious afternoon thunderstorms. The storms wash away any bite of heat the day had, and leave it feeling fresh for the night. The days are short, but grow bright quickly and the afternoons seem to be particularly short when heavy thunderstorms roll in and cover the sky.
Telgar Boundaries:
Winter, -5 - 0 C | 23 - 32 F
Bitterly cold, with icy winds constantly flowing down from the mountains. Freezing rain is almost constant; the sky always a murky grey and the ground slippery with slushy refrozen ice. The days are extremely short, with the nights dropping a good number below the daily average. Icicles attached to Weyr ledges prove a major danger, and are checked upon every day, with anything bigger than a fist being removed.
Summer 27 - 38 C | 80 - 100 F
Light breezes down from the mountains tot he North keep the temperature comfortable, even when the sun can bake an egg on the edge of a weyr. Sunburn is common.
Ista Boundaries:
Summer, 34 - 43 C | 93 - 110 F
A very dry, dusty heat. Little to no rain, causing more than some to worry about the drought not breaking and the rest of the Isle being at risk of fires. Many seek the depths of weyr, hold or hall during the midday and early afternoon heat.
Telgar Boundaries:
Summer, 26 - 35 C | 79 - 95 F
Muggy, sticky and generally just plain humid. Thunder storms are regular occurances, often happening in the early afternoon or evening, with heavy rainfall before drying off sometime in the night. Mornings are usually crisp, but warm up swiftly.
Ista Boundaries: Season, Low to High
Telgar Boundaries: Season, Low to High

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 naturally warmer, (~10C / 50) 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.

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.

Winter has come slowly to the Northern lands of Pern, with more rain and cold winds than snow. As the month progresses, more and more snow will fall, with frequent blizzard-like storms towards the very end of the month. Telgar and Fort will in particular become burried under mountains of snow, while Ista is sunjected to frequent icy rainstorms, and heavy winds coming in from across the ocean.

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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

This month’s riveting event is ‘Seas of Fun’, in honour of International Pirate’s Day! After all the drama with the fires, we expect that taking to the sea (or lake, river, pond, etc) would be a very relaxing way to spend some downtime for many dragonriders and Holderfolk alike!
In preparation for October, the even is “Memories of the Past”, which we hope will be a fun way to explore your character’s past, either in solo posts or threads, as inner monolog or as back posting! How you choose to partake is entirely up to you!
October will also see our next PC HATCHING! In order to have your Candidate qualify for Impression, they must have no less than 20 posts! There are lots of characters floating around who would be more than happy to help your Candidate breech that count!

We are hoping to set up Wings across the three PC Weyrs over the next month or so, and your assistance is much appreciated! As a result, we will be looking for Wingleaders, Wingseconds, and of course Candidates for the clutches we have scheduled for this year!
Okay. So moving on! This month sees us (hopefully) wrapping up the Camp Kink event! Who doesn’t love an abundance of young adults exploring their sexuality without restraint?

On a more serious note, this month will see us engaging in the Istan Wildfires! This event is a free for all!

With the end of December, our Christmas layout has gone back into hiding! You'll be able to use it again at the end of the year, when Christmas again rolls around. You can expect a new layout for the site in the near future.
We will also be awarding the HORRIFYING MOMENTS stamps to those who qualified for them, as well as the WORDS OF THE MONTH for November. We hope you enjoyed these Events, and you can expect more of them in the upcoming year!
This month we will also be focusing on the RP Records, and request you submit all your threads here so we can update the Timeline! As it says in the thread, the Timeline will be updated every month, in the first week. To help us maintain, be sure to submit your threads as soon as you open them!
This month we are doing a 'Words of the Month' event! You can choose your word/s as indicated in the thread, and may particpate with as many characters as you desire! This contest has no voting to earn stamps; you get a stamp just for participating! Enjoy!
Our next PC Clutch will be in the new year, so now is the pefect time to join with old candidates (how many clutches have they stood for now?!) and candidate hopefuls! Get those eager young men and women out there and grow them so we can match them with their perfect lifemate when the new year rolls around and one of our lovely golds throws a clutch on the Sands -- At this point in time, the Weyrs are sharing Candidates, so your Candidate can be Searched by any Weyr, and transfer to the one holding the PC clutch!
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.

General Description:
Piercing blue eyes may not be the first thing noticed on Ryvian but they will capture and entice most people into all sorts of mischief.
Unremarkable brown in colour but the shaggy sexed up style makes it stand out. While it’s typically worn in that style, Ryvian can tie back the strands that fall into his face in a top-knot when needed for chores.
Ryvian is of a slender build with muscle definition only recently starting to show thanks to both the work he’s made to do around the weyr and his body fully maturing. Even if he took exercising seriously, it’s unlikely he’ll develop a body even close to some of the buff riders running around and keep to his lithe form – though many say he’s a bit too skinny, but he’s comfortable in his own evenly tanned skin.
His facial features blend together nicely to make for, in his very loud opinion, an aesthetically-pleasing vision. His lips are just full enough to be abused for perfect pouts and have been labelled by past lovers as made for kissing. Eyes of alluring blue are often set for the illusion of sultry seduction though Ryvian lacks the true follow-through like R’nd and D’hys, for example, have. He is a playful soul and that light can shine through as often as his lust.General Dressing Style:
When it comes to clothes, it’s an odd mix of style and comfort. Ryvian may give off the appearance that he just grabbed his clothes from a floor (which in most cases he did) but everything typically matches in some way so he’s never a true fashion faux pas. Still, comfortable khaki-like pants are his go-to item and if his rivals are lucky, he managed to find a shirt as well. When that happens, the shirt is usually of short sleeve since he’s of Ista bloodlines and enjoys the hot summer days and maintaining a tan. Whether the shirt slips over the head or is a button-up that missed the memo on actually being buttoned up, is always a surprise.
If he’s made to dress up for a Gather, dark pants that are a bit more form-fitting are donned with a nice shirt that starts out in a presentable shape but is usually untucked or improperly buttoned before the night is out and in a colour that goes well with his bright blue eyes.

Personality
Likes:
Nyvian: He’d be lost without his other half. The brothers only had each other since the Plague and soon after as well when their parents died within months of each other. The boys do everything together and they understand each other. Fighting is natural but sticking together and laughing is even more so.
Flirting: Flirtationships are the best! Ryvian is a friendly guy and he likes taking it that little extra step by flirting with pretty much anyone and everyone. It’s so less complicated when there aren’t any rules and expectations when all is said and done.
Living in the Moment: Despite all the hardships in his young life, Ryvian believes everything should be enjoyed and living in the here and now is all anyone really needs. Why worry about tomorrow when it only stresses today?
Strengths:
Optimism: He has a strong zest for life and it’s hard to get him down over things as Ryvian is carefree and sees everything as half-full.
Humour: He also has a strong sense of humour and is extremely playful. It’s hard to be in a bad mood with Ryvian around!
Loyal: If Ryvian counts you as a friend then you have someone that will always be there for you through thick and thin.
Dislikes:
Being Alone: He hates not having someone around him for entertainment. Nyvian will always be the most desired companion but anyone he likes is more than fine enough to fill the void that appears when bored and slightly lonely.
Work: While he’ll do work, Ryvian prefers to avoid any and all menial labour. It’s not fun and sucks up all his free time. He’s young and should be enjoying life!
Cold Weather: What is so appealing about having your teeth chatter, losing feeling in your nose and fingers, and layering over your layers? Ryvian has never experienced the cold weather thanks to coming from Ista and living in the South but from what he heard, he hates everything about the wintery weather and snow. Katila’s winter is cold enough for him!
Flaws:
Jealousy: He tries his best to hide it but Ryvian can be rather jealous. Nyvian is his brother and it can bother him when Nyvian ends up more popular or sought after.
Abandonment Issues: His parents died on him soon after everyone reunited, and in moments of watching Nyvian go off without him, Ryvian fears he’ll leave for good in his own way as well.
Time Management: Time management isn’t one of his strong suits either, especially if he’s having fun. Losing track of time is something that’s easily done though Ryvian tries his best to make it to classes and special meetings on time. Whether he succeeds all of the time is debateable.
Habits & Mannerisms:
He slouches a bit when sitting, especially during lessons he knows he can teach from hearing it so often. When standing, however, Ryvian stands rather tall without a slouch but usually has his hands in his pants pockets or he’s fiddling with something.General Personality:
While Ryvian is just as flirtatious as his brother Nyvian, he is the more playful twin that likes to dabble in mischief. He’s outgoing and even considered loud, but surprisingly not obnoxiously so. Ryvian may like attention and playing up aspects of himself that he knows someone likes in him, but he still knows when to tone it down and likely won’t be the centre of attention for all of the Dining Hall with a booming voice. Crowds don’t faze him but intimate parties are far more fun.
According to many, an interesting facet to Ryvian is that he loves his twin and he’s not afraid to show it. It’s clear the brothers are best friends and anyone that tries to get between them would be in for a surprise when it backfired, but Ryvian is completely comfortable with changing the way he touches Nyvian when he knows the audience is sexually interested in them together. He plays upon and feeds from the reactions such things garner and finds it amusing how many people dream of having both twins – either together or one after the other – or imagining the siblings together without a third party. It’s a fascinating society he lives in and he loves it.
In general, when Ryvian is simply being Ryvian, he’s extremely laidback and could almost be called lazy. He’s not about to dispute such accusations since he does enjoy lazing about the hut or outside as opposed to working constantly on tasks no one else likes doing either but Katila needs in order to function. He mostly blames Indivara for constantly getting called on to help move heavy items or swing an axe or hammer since his friend likes to throw herself right into chores at the start of the day so the remainder of the day can be spent playing. Ryvian used to be okay with that mentality since he could slip out with her, but in recent times, there always seems to be ‘just one more thing’ before he can finally sneak out and enjoy doing nothing for the rest of the day.
When it comes to how only a very small handful of people can tell him apart from Nyvian, Ryvian doesn’t mind. In fact, that’s just another fun game to him. It likely all leads back to spending his early years in exile with Nyvian and their mother – who could always tell them apart – and missing out on the chance to fool people by pretending to be the other twin. Given that not even their father, who admittedly hadn’t seen them in several turns due to the exile, knew which was which and most of the Katlian population didn’t seem to care enough to figure it out, Ryvian still never had the proper chance to experience living as his brother for a day since every day he’s simply just Vian. Although, if truth be told, some days he does wonder if he actually is Ryvian given how few people call him by his own name instead of the collective name shared with Nyvian and how easily he adapted to that. In the end, it made life easier for all concerned and Ryvian decided since he loves Nyvian, where was the harm in being indiscernible from each other and being one unit?
Thanks to the time in exile and the passing of their parents, Ryvian is admittedly dependent on Nyvian and will even have minor bouts of guilt (privately, of course; no sense ruining the fun!) when Nyvian isn’t included in the latest mischief. However, even with that reliance on his twin, Ryvian fancies himself as independent and help isn’t really needed in any area. He’s just around to have fun anyway. Why waste time in worrying over anything or trying to bend to what is expected of them when he could be enjoying life how he, and Nyvian, want it to be?

Important History:
712 & Born: Ryvian is born two minutes before his brother Nyvian to greenrider R’ny and her mate brownrider V’ron.
713-715 & 1-3: Ryvian is spoiled alongside his brother and enjoys a nice pampered life of a toddler, oblivious to any drama around him.
716 & 4: As the plague starts to spread through all the weyrs, the young boys are taken South with their parents, riding with one parent each. Sadly, the decision to keep even mated riders apart in the exile forces both boys to live with their mother while their father lives on territory close by.
717-719 & 5-7: Despite the young age, Ryvian still tries his best at helping his mother with building a shelter and finding food. A lot of the days are spent playing with Nyvian when in the cooler months or napping beside his twin in the hotter ones. They treated it as an adventure and Ryvian didn’t complain too much since he couldn’t remember life at Ista Weyr to compare anything to.
720 & 8: The call to reunite reaches them and the family moves to the area soon to become Katila and meets up once more with their father. All seems well again in the mind of eight turn old boys!
721 & 9: During the firehead outbreak, Ryvian and his brother are kept inside and away from others as much as possible. Their parents said they survived the plague and the uncertainty of exile, they certainly weren’t losing anyone to firehead!
722 & 10: Ryvian is still too young to fully understand the uprisings against Nirinath and the punishments for their actions were kept from him. To him, the turn was spent playing with the other children around his age while the community worked on huts and buildings. He loved Nyvian but it was fun to have more kids to entertain them.
723 & 11: A few months before the twins’ birthday, their mother dies of a ruptured appendix. That was naturally hard enough on the young boys about to turn eleven but a month after their birthday, their father also dies though of blood loss due to slicing his leg open on a hunting trip taken alone.
724 & 12: He overhears adults talking about the Northerners on ships and isn’t entirely sure why they’re bad. He likes where they are though, and starts to think the Northerners want to take away more from him and worries Nyvian will leave him next. He becomes a bit clingier to his brother until he’s assured the ships have left.
725& 13: The terrible storm that hits Katila does some damage to their hut. Since it was built for a family of four and now only two young boys live there, it’s decided to move the twins into a smaller one bedroom hut so a family can move into their larger one upon repair.
726 & 14: Another case of firehead breaks out and Ryvian encourages Nyvian to stay inside with him and ignore their friends for a while. He’s still worried about losing his brother and points out they’re stronger when they’re together. An ‘Us against Them’ mentality takes over for a time.
727 & 15:Three months after their fifteenth birthday, the twins Stand for the Renewed Hope clutch but fail to Impress. Ryvian is disappointed but also glad that at least Nyvian didn’t Impress either. At least they got to Stand! Poor Kerrin wasn’t allowed thanks to his father being mean and saying he wasn’t ready.
728-730 & 16-18: As a boy in his teens, Ryvian spends a lot of his time flirting and experimenting while trying to stay out of trouble. Everything’s done in the name of fun!
731 & 19: Ryvian doesn’t see the point in having to take Candidate classes again but still attends them to avoid G’rem’s wrath. Some classes turned out to be fun but in the end, neither twin Impressed at the Hatching. That was once again disappointing and with the month before seeing B’jin lashed publically, Ryvian is pretty subdued for several months as he tries once more to keep his nose clean and behave.
732 & 20: Now at the age of twenty, Ryvian feels older and wiser when it comes to many things and decided not to get his hopes up at the new Hatching. He was right to do so as yet again, he didn’t Impress. While having a dragon was something he always wanted thanks to growing up in a weyr and having dragonriders for parents, Ryvian’s fine in his non-rider lifestyle for a bit longer as he enjoys life with Nyvian, making friends and finding new lovers.
734 & 22: Nyvian Impressing at the start of the turn left Ryvian devastated and feeling alone. He ended up going into seclusion for months before slowly coming to terms with the change in life. After the landslide sent everything tumbling around him again, Ryvian finally found luck on the Sands and Impressed blue Vydoriath.
736 & 24: Still trying to find his own path in life now that his brother isn't constantly at his side, R'vi decides to get away from most things and people familiar to him and moves to Ista.
737-738 & 25-26: R’vi is enjoying life and has taken over R’nd’s old role of Candi Man in Ista, making sure new Candidates feel welcomed and seducing the ones old enough for such things. At the start of 738, he finds out he’s a father from the fling he had with Tala. He’s not sure how to process that fact and doesn’t have much to do with the child at this point.

Given his young age, several turns spent in exile, and being raised in Katila, Ryvian hasn’t had any sort of training outside the basic lessons from Harpers and the reading his mother involved him in while in exile. He’s convinced, however, he can teach Candidate classes now from sitting through four clutches’ worth as of the end of 232 AL.

Vydoriath
Adult Stats
27’6 foot length, 14'2 foot tall, with a 41'7 foot wingspan.Clutch Details:
Gold Aradissicath x Bronze Xyreith at Katila Weyr on the 13.09.734 [Clutch Page]
Ista Weyr
Weyrlinghood
A deep sapphire colour, Vydoriath’s hide is dappled with lighter hues and hints of purple, creating a generally gorgeous sight when he is in the sunshine. Most obviously, the purple winks into sight along his ridges, and at points on his lower leg. In comparison, the majority of his body and wings are dappled shades of gorgeous sapphire and royal blues, with a soft splash of sky-blue thrown in as a naturally occurring contrast.
In build, Vydoriath is not particularly outstanding; a delicate, almost whispery ghost of a dragonet he is made of incredibly fine lines and delicate, feminine appearance. His face is incredibly finely chiselled, and with careful lines and wide, intelligent eyes. Narrow, fine eyeridges arch just shy of offering up permanent questions.
Vydoriath
Adulthood
Full growth sees Vydoriath reach an impressive 27 feet and six inches, putting him notably at the top end of the blue dragon scale, but not quite tipping through as the largest. Almost as if to spite his impressive length, Vydoriath has a large wingspan, and a long set of legs, proportionately making his length slightly smaller than would be desired for his other measurements.
Like many of his colour-brothers, Vydoriath retains the whispy, delicate build he displayed in his youth; long limbs, wiry muscle mass and particularly serpentine lines form his build. He has notably long fingers and toes, with carefully maintained claws tipping each one, that he quickly develops a (slightly) annoying habit of tapping in a cascade. His face is slightly long, with long headknobs and a long nose; his narrow forehead only enhances the appearance of elongation. Narrow, medium-set eyeridges are set in what on any other dragon would be assumed as disapproving lines above almost constantly happily swirling eyes.
As if to mock those that mocked him in Weyrlinghood for his purple tints, Vydoriath’s infant hide peels away, to reveal more prevalent purple colouration splattered across his silky blue body, breaking it up and bringing eye catching quirks to an already quirky dragon. Almost his entire face looks like one of Grith’s painters has gotten too close and dumped the bucket of purple paint on him, the colour fading into deep blue just past the corner of his eye before swirling into light and dark blues that smear over his body with a marbled impression.
There are notable light patches, and especially when the light shines through his wing membranes does the pale summer-sky-blue become most apparent, with hints of violet shining through mostly along the edges of the membrane. In contrast, his left hind-knee is home to a purple kneecap, and his shoulders look like someone has slapped him with violets and splattered pollen all over him, like a jokey might a racehorse.Mindvoice
Vydoriath has a bright, generally good natured voice that is full of laughter and, more often than not, a complete lack of regard of how others view him or his bonded. His quirky sense of humour is often given life in the way his voice rolls with languid delight through the minds of whomever he so pleases – whenever he so pleases.Personality
Vydoriath is an intelligent dragon, and one who generally looks at life through eyes that love to have fun. From harmless enjoyment of company through to the more devious of prank pulling, Vydoriath is all about having a good time – but more, he is about making sure those around him are enjoying life, and enjoying it to the max. While his antics could (at the extreme) be considered dangerous or even life threatening in some instances, every action Vydoriath goes through is carefully considered and the pros and cons weighed. No action is ever done rashly or without careful judgement.
A forward thinker, and incredibly aware of those around him, Vydoriath is almost always in the know of who is unhappy – and why – before even some of the most notorious Weyr gossips. He makes it his business to be updated on who is sad, or having a bad day, primarily so as that he can set about reversing that particular situation. It could easily be said, or assumed, that Vydoriath’s primary mission in life is to cause joy to those around him, and one would not be wrong. However, that creation of joy came with his desire to show Ryvian what a bright, brilliant world was around him, while also being attracted to the young man’s desire to see his friends and loved ones smile.
At his core, Vydoriath is an incredibly thoughtful and serious dragon, but it is that quiet seriousness that will grow to fuel the persona he will publically display – a clown, a dork, a playful idiot – whatever is needed at any time, in order to bring joy to those around him. A leader in his own right, Vydoriath will never be afraid to step forward and take action, though he almost entirely funnels such efforts into causing harmless mayhem and destruction rather than more traditional leadership roles.
Vydoriath is a lover of life, and a lover of joy, and he will go out of his way to make sure that everyone around him and everyone important to him or his bonded, are filled to the brim with happiness and love. As a result of that, Vydoriath is easily disturbed and upset when he discovers others taking joy in the destruction of happiness and laughter in others. The mean spirited, and the cruel, are creatures Vydoriath does not understand – human, dragon or otherwise – and while he is not a natural defender of the weak, Vydoriath will make it his mission to embrace those so broken, and do his best to piece them back together.
Ryvian may, indeed, be the only one to see the serious, quiet and often heartbroken form of his dragon, so well hidden does Vydoriath keep it. He fears in upsetting others, or in making them worry, and upsetting and distressing Ryvian when he himself is upset or distressed is often more than he can bare; letting others know is not something the dragon will ever allow if he can so avoid it.
Quirks
Likes: There is nothing Vydoriath likes more than seeing other’s embrace and enjoy life. He loves the sound of laughter, and the way human faces twist to look so funny and full of joy when they smile. He loves the way his fellow dragon’s can brighten up the night with eyes of happy hues, and he loves the sound of joy. He loves music, and the way humans dance together at parties. He enjoys the warm summer sunshine and the gentle grace of a light snowfall. Any time, any place, and event where happiness can occur is where Vydoriath enjoys being, and at it is, at its core, what keeps the dragon strong.
Dislikes: The first time Vydoriath becomes aware that laughter can be used to express cruelty will be of great impact upon the dragon. That which he loves, above all else but Ryvian, used to cause pain and distress, will cut him deeply and cause the dragon to question much he thought he knew about himself and about the world.
Upsetting or causing distress to others is something Vydoriath dislikes greatly, but even the actions of others to so do will never outweigh the distress he causes himself, when he is the cause of unhappiness in others. He lives to see joy burst free from everyone around him, and being the cause of a pout or of tears is more than Vydoriath can ever bare. When such occurs, he will go out of his way to fix things, make them right, and bring a smile to that sad, sad face.
Habits/Mannerisms: Vydoriath will develop an often considered annoying habit of tapping his claws much as a human might tap their fingers in a cascade while thinking. It is not an absent habit, and while it may not be picked up upon immediately, it is something Vydoriath does only when he is thinking deeply, usually about how to fix some (real or imagined) unhappiness in someone.
Vydoriath is an unabashed prankster, taking a great joy in causing amusement and entertainment for others, though never expressly at the expense of the joy or happiness at the person or creature being pranked. He puts excessive thought and consideration into not only who he will prank, but when and where and how. He loves nothing so much as seeing others laugh, and will often paint himself as the Court Fool in order to bring joy to those whom he deem as needing it.
Strengths: A fast thinker, and often a quick dropper of quips, Vydoriath is a smart dragon with a bright mind often put to the task of mischief making and fun creating. A creator of games, a creator of pranks and tricks. Naturally inclined to leadership, Vydoriath can and will step up to the plate when required, and he will do so without so much as hesitating. Despite that, he shamelessly prefers to use his forward moving skills in more entertaining ways.
Empathic, almost to a fault, Vydoriath is always ready to assist, to be there for someone – whether they are a friend or not. He loves everyone, has time for everyone, and will always be a solid rock when needed.
Weaknesses: Unhappiness is Vydoriath’s most obvious weakness, from the moment he cracks shell until the moment he takes his last trip between, the blue dragon lives for making those around him happy, and making sure they enjoy life. At the top of his list, always, will Ryvian be pacing, but Vydoriath is not a dragon to ignore the distress of others, and he makes it his mission to be uplifting and enjoyable company – always, and at all times.Creator Credits
