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!

![[Image: Vian.jpg]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/platinum_tiger/Random/Vian.jpg)
[color=#032255]Eyes: 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.
Hair: 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.
Height: 5’9
General Appearance: 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.
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.
[color=#032255]General Character Traits: 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?
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?
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!
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.
Strengths: 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. He also has a strong sense of humour and is extremely playful. It’s hard to be in a bad mood with Ryvian around!
Weaknesses: 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. This likely ties in to having slight 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 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.

Children: It’s possible! It’s also unlikely given his young age and those he typically mingles with.
Background Story:
212 AL: Ryvian is born two minutes before his brother Nyvian to greenrider R’ny and her mate brownrider V’ron.
213 - 215 AL: Ryvian is spoiled alongside his brother and enjoys a nice pampered life of a toddler, oblivious to any drama around him.
216 AL: 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.
217 – 219 AL: 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.
220 AL: 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!
221 AL: 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!
222 AL: 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.
223 AL: 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.
224 AL: 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.
225 AL: 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.
226 AL: 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.
227 AL: 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.
228 - 230 AL: 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!
231 AL: 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.
232 AL: 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.

Specialty: Getting into mischief and making a room far more visually appealing when he walks in.
Crafting Details: 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.

Another Hatching. Was this going to be the one that he Impressed in? Ryvian found himself mostly calm but there was a hint of underlying fear as well. It was the fourth clutch in Katila and Nyvian and him had Stood for them all. He wanted a dragon as much as the next weyrbrat so that certainly wasn’t the reason behind the fear of stepping out onto the hot Sands in his robe and shoes – which he silently thanked B’jin for allowing them wear. The fear went in another direction and Ryvian wasn’t sure if he should be ashamed of it or not. What if Nyvian Impressed and he didn’t? What if he Impressed and Nyvian didn’t? Ryvian didn’t think he would handle that too well though he’d naturally hide it from everyone, especially his brother. If they both Impressed but ended up on different colours would be okay with him. If truth be told, Ryvian felt he was more of a bluerider while Nyvian was brown or even bronze. But the dragons knew best and they’d likely both end up on green.
Shoving his fears aside as he always did, Ryvian stood on the Sands by Nyvian and Indivara with Kerrin standing a little further down as the surprisingly fast Hatching moved along. He was thankful for that given the odd hour though admittedly he had only just crawled into bed before the humming began. A few times he held his breath when a dragonet would stumble by but by the end of the Hatching with the final Impression made, all three of them were still standing together. He was relieved as much as he was disappointed though after four attempts, Ryvian wasn’t sure if he would ever Impress or if the dragon meant for him was so ridiculously epic that he was waiting for a grand entrance that no one could miss or ever forget. That seemed far more likely. It helped ease the sting of the rejection of this batch of dragonets as well.
Continuing the theme of not wanting to dwell on the rejection and what he couldn’t change, Ryvian put an arm around Nyvian’s waist and the other around Indivara’s before the girl could make an escape. “You should come back to our hut. You know everything’s better in threes.” He knew she wouldn’t take him up on the invitation that night, not after another missed chance with a dragon. His friend hated that the kids taken from the North always seemed to Impress instead of her and she was set on the idea of bronze despite her gender. That was something Ryvian felt he needed to point out before the struggle to break free and be alone took hold of Indivara and he leaned down to her ear. “There wasn’t a bronze, Indivara. Next time will definitely be your moment.” He let her go then and headed off in the other direction with Nyvian to go back to bed.

Another Hatching. Was this going to be the one that he Impressed in? Ryvian found himself mostly calm but there was a hint of underlying fear as well. It was the fourth clutch in Katila and Nyvian and him had Stood for them all. He wanted a dragon as much as the next weyrbrat so that certainly wasn’t the reason behind the fear of stepping out onto the hot Sands in his robe and shoes – which he silently thanked B’jin for allowing them wear. The fear went in another direction and Ryvian wasn’t sure if he should be ashamed of it or not. What if Nyvian Impressed and he didn’t? What if he Impressed and Nyvian didn’t? Ryvian didn’t think he would handle that too well though he’d naturally hide it from everyone, especially his brother. If they both Impressed but ended up on different colours would be okay with him. If truth be told, Ryvian felt he was more of a bluerider while Nyvian was brown or even bronze. But the dragons knew best and they’d likely both end up on green.
Shoving his fears aside as he always did, Ryvian stood on the Sands by Nyvian and Indivara with Kerrin standing a little further down as the surprisingly fast Hatching moved along. He was thankful for that given the odd hour though admittedly he had only just crawled into bed before the humming began. A few times he held his breath when a dragonet would stumble by but by the end of the Hatching with the final Impression made, all three of them were still standing together. He was relieved as much as he was disappointed though after four attempts, Ryvian wasn’t sure if he would ever Impress or if the dragon meant for him was so ridiculously epic that he was waiting for a grand entrance that no one could miss or ever forget. That seemed far more likely. It helped ease the sting of the rejection of this batch of dragonets as well.
Continuing the theme of not wanting to dwell on the rejection and what he couldn’t change, Ryvian put an arm around Nyvian’s waist and the other around Indivara’s before the girl could make an escape. “You should come back to our hut. You know everything’s better in threes.” He knew she wouldn’t take him up on the invitation that night, not after another missed chance with a dragon. His friend hated that the kids taken from the North always seemed to Impress instead of her and she was set on the idea of bronze despite her gender. That was something Ryvian felt he needed to point out before the struggle to break free and be alone took hold of Indivara and he leaned down to her ear. “There wasn’t a bronze, Indivara. Next time will definitely be your moment.” He let her go then and headed off in the other direction with Nyvian to go back to bed.
