General Description:
"Gangly" is the word he's had following him most of his youth, but years at sea have strengthened him from a weedy teen into a fit young adult. There's always a hint of a smile around his lips or eyes as if he's dying to let you in on a joke. He chopped off his long hair from the ship soon after being Searched, but it's started to grow back messily.General Dressing Style:
He prefers comfortable clothing that's easy to move in and he goes barefoot as often as he can get away with it. A bit of a magpie, he is rarely seen without rings or bangles, or random trinkets strung on a cord.Joey Batey
Personality
Likes:
Oversized sweaters - the rare younger child who didn't mind getting the well-loved hand-me-down clothes because his brother and father were larger and the clothes felt cozier that way.
Flirting - He will flirt with anyone and enjoys making games of it. He generally doesn't mean anything by the flirting, though.
Storms - The louder and rougher the storm, the louder he laughs. He thrives on a chaotic ship's deck during storms.

Strengths:
Loyal - he doesn't badmouth people behind their backs, and he'll defend acquaintances fiercely, even for minor situations.
Dislikes:
Salt fish - there are only so many ways it can be prepared and when it's the bulk of your diet it gets old quickly
Conflict - he can't stand arguments. Why can't everyone just get along? Or suffer in silence like "normal" people.

Flaws:
Lackadaisical - the fact he achieved Journeyman was more down to not wanting to disappoint friends and his mother than actual drive. Given the option, he would float through life without a care or commitment.
Habits & Mannerisms:
Flips or blows hair out of his eyes. He's also given to fiddling with knots or whittling small bits and bobs.General Personality:
M'kos was a brash youth--loud, flamboyant, and obnoxiously flirtatious. Over the years this has eased... somewhat. He had to hide his sexuality from his family and most shipmates, but he thrives in the more accepting weyrlife. He still loves being the center of attention, but he's less given to dramatic or obnoxious methods of attracting it these days.Joey Batey

Important History:
716 - Born the second son to Daman and Katrianis only a few turns after his elder brother Katran.722 & 6 turns - His younger brother is born and he is excited, but quickly discovers that as a middle child he's no longer the center of his family's attention.
730 & 14 - He finally convinces his father to let him formally apply as an apprentice. He hadn't shown the drive earlier, but realized he needed to push himself when Katran made Sr. Apprentice early and wouldn't stop talking about it.
731 & 15 turns: Spots someone in the water during a storm and manages to save his sewing kit while others haul the man out of the sea. Befriends Vondal over the rest of the turn, telling him stories and jokes and introducing him to sailing life to take his mind off his missing memories.
733 & 17 - Upset about missing his chance when he accidentally sees Vondal and Ketan together, he throws himself back into his studies and makes Sr. Apprentice mostly out of spite. He keeps his mouth shut about it, since the two decided to keep it a secret.
736 & 20 - his mother keeps pressuring him to either marry or apply as a Journeyman, but he always finds an excuse not to. Mostly that the girls he likes aren't exactly "bring home to mom" material.
737-738 & 21-22: Encouraged by friends to apply for Journeyman, if only to get away from his father, who has become less tolerant of his second son's hands-off approach to life. Discovers he truly has a knack for navigation.
738 & 22 Transfers off his father's ship for 2 years after attaining the Jr. Journeyman rank. Tells himself it's only to get away from his family.
740 & 24 - Hears about Ketan's loss and writes to his father to get Vondal to stay on. Transfers back, and slowly helps his friend smile again.
741 & 25 turns: Searched late in the year by R'dal of Fort Weyr. He throws himself into the new lifestyle with glee, excited to be able to flirt with (almost) anyone, and to see more of Pern than just the shores.
743 and 27 turns: Impresses green Viverrith at Telgar during the Night Stalkers hatching,

Malvayth x Xyxyth at Telgar Weyr on the 03.08.743 [Clutch Page]
Viverrith was playful, exploring and knocking over a water barrel at the hatching. She scolded the nearby healers before seeking out M'kos to continue whining about what had happened.
Weyrlinghood
Bright green with pale freckle-like spotting. Her extremeties are a bit paler than the rest of her body, and she is a little stockier than her siblings. Her tail is short as well, which makes balancing a little tricky as a weyrling.Viverrith
Adulthood
Her hide darkens into a muted mossy green absolutely covered with spots. She is still small and stocky, but it's all muscle now.Mindvoice
The bubbly and eager voice from weyrlinghood settles down into a more mellow tone as she matures. Personality
Extremely active, she keeps her rider on his toes. She has a tendency to prank her siblings, loving to make jokes. She can hold her own in squabbles, though, being strong despite her size.Quirks
Loves water and gets into trouble right from the start, knocking over a water barrel at her hatching. She is very inquisitive, and loves to swim and dive after fish. Not nearly as fond of storms as her rider is. She likes rain, but thunder scares her and she tries to scare it back by yelling at the sky.
