Sin is a bright, intelligent young man who enjoys the little things in life, like being a tease and playing games, often to the annoyance of those around him. However, he is mostly harmless and those that enjoy his company are treated with respect and a great deal of affection. An easy smiler and with a joyful laugh, Sin is easy to spot in a crowd – when he wants to be – and can be a lot of fun to hang around. He is a comedic, and pokes as much fun at himself as he does those he calls dear.

On the other side, Sin can be impulsive, sneaky and fearless, a combination that has put him in the crosshairs more than a few times growing up, and no less now that he’s – technically – an adult. He has very little impulse control, so once an idea takes hold it requires a great deal of effort from worried friends to talk him out of what is definitely not good for his health and wellbeing. This includes antics such as sneaking into the Weyrleaders bedroom to shortsheet his bed. Things that sound like a great deal of fun, but have consequences that Sin just isn’t ready to consider.

Since he was attacked – left unharmed but frightened – by a canine early after moving to the North, Sin cannot stand the creatures, big or small, and goes out of his way to avoid interacting with them no matter the cost. Besides being nasty, toothy and attack happy, Sin finds dogs to be stupid and smelly. Why anyone would want one, when they could have a nice dragon or even a firelizard, he has no idea.

Enjoying the good things in life – like sex and alcohol – Sin also favours the darker corners, such as drugs and pickpocketing. He enjoys getting high, and the effects that it causes and while he’s not addicted, he doesn’t have any trouble finding any excuse to use. His pickpocketing is something he takes a great deal of pride in, especially now he’s really good at it, and something he keeps semi-secret. Some good friends know about it, and he enjoys picking their pockets for fun and games but would never actually steal from those he treasures.

Because of his social nature, Sin can’t stand being alone, as loneliness creeps in quickly and brings him down into moods of deep depression until someone comes along to remind him he isn’t alone. Additionally, boredom is a great trouble to him, and being bored is terrible. It causes his mind to get extra active, which means he is prone to coming up with even more outrageous and bad ideas that he may well follow through on – especially if such thoughts come to him when he is alone.

Cernovith grows into a bulk of a brown dragon, with a big, heavy build. He has a barrel of a chest, huge hindquarters, and massive wings that carry him far and with ease. His tail is long and well proportioned to the rest of him, ending in a whippy tail tip that he likes to use to annoy Sin with taps and tripping him up.

When his new hide comes through, while Cernovith retains his original chocolatly base, there are tints of deep forest green and much darker browns within it that give him an overall woody sense, rather than that of fresh chocolate.

In stark contrast to his dark body, the top of Cernovith’s entire head is a very pale brown colour, almost white by comparison, that stops at his upper lip and travels along the topside of his eyes, to colour his headknobs. Matching this, all four of Cernovith’s feet are white, making it look like he’s pulled on a couple of pairs of socks.

Cernovith’s wing membranes have ripples of pale brown through them, which stand out starkly when he is flying, enhancing the sight of light shining through the membrane.

Cernovith has a rumbling voice that easily conveys his amusement in the many things he finds entertaining. He rarely raises his voice, but when he does get angry his voice takes on an icy cold tone that sends shivers down the spine.

While Sin isn’t a troublemaker for the purpose of causing trouble, Cernovith is. He loves to cause mayhem and watch as the world around him flounders as a result. He’s cheeky, cheerful, playful and easily annoying if one isn’t in the mood for his antics. He’s bright and intelligent – perhaps too much so – and is a terror when he is bored. Boredom, as Sin will quickly learn, is the fastest way for his dragon to become invested in trouble making.

Impulsive, and with absolutely no impulse control of his own, Cernovith needs to be reigned in by his rider, or he’ll be out there causing mayhem every day, for endless hours. He loves to play with other dragons, and finds Firelizards to be charming as well; possibly because they are so easy to manipulate into causing trouble with him. Cernovith is friendly and not against making new friends in dragon, human or other forms. He’s even been known to apologise to his food before eating it, after all, they could have been friends but he was too hungry to say hello.

Cernovith is absolutely fearless, and this is shown in various ways, but primarily in his encouragement of Sin’s strange and often dangerous antics. So what if they get in trouble? And the fact that one or both of them could kill themselves easily? Well, if Sin doesn’t think of that, Cernovith certainly isn’t going to!

Playful, energetic, naughty, cheeky.
Fearless, intelligent but dumb, doesn’t think things through. Ever.
