Appearance
Eye Colour:
Blue
Height:
5'10"
Hair Colour:
Blonde, medium length
Build:
Scrawny
General Description:
X'siar's delicate features and his almond shaped eyes can make him look quite sinister or just plain pouty when he's not actively smiling. He's downright scrawny, and has never been able to put on much weight. His left side is scarred, mostly on his left arm but also with some on his leg.
General Dressing Style:
X'siar takes great care in his appearance and hates looking like a slob. His clothing, while comfortable, is always clean, reasonably free of wrinkles, and fits him well. He enjoys jewelry on occasion, as well as occasionally decorating his hair. He prefers colors that go well with Solenath's hide.
Hwang Hyunjin
Personality
Likes:
• The status quo
• Other dragonriders
• Feeling useful
• Organizing
Strengths:
• Loyal
• Diligent
• Persevering
Dislikes:
• Not knowing who is in charge
• People who try to start trouble
• Disorder, clutter
• Blueriders (it's complicated)

Flaws:
• A bit snooty and arrogant, especially around nonriders.
• Too trusting of those who rank higher than him.
• Phantom Arm
Habits & Mannerisms:
In addition to being badly broken in the landslide, ever since Solenath lost her leg X'siar has been prone to bumping his left arm and hand into things on accident since the bond make shim forget he was not the one with the amputation. He tends to avoid using it most of the time except when he's purposefully trying to exercise it. When he is using his left arm it can be prone to sporadic fits of weakness.

It alternates behind hanging limply at his side or being compulsively moved around (usually clenching and unclenching his fist or wiggling his fingers) in an effort to remember that he still has it and to avoid letting it become too weak from disuse.

When he is annoyed or otherwise bothered he tends to fiddle with his left arm even more, either by performing more repetitive motions with his left hand, or by simply just reaching over with his right to drum on it or even just feel that it's still there.

He hates clutter and frequently will just start rearranging and organizing things for friends, or otherwise offer to do so.
General Personality:
X'siar is usually a rather self-assured and composed man who values order. While he is not the sort that is prone to an excess of hubris, he does consider himself (and all other dragonriders), to be a bit better than those who have no dragons. He's still generally friendly to candidates and weyrfolk, after all, they are all there to support the dragons and their riders, but he tends to be a bit aloof yet polite with holdfolk.

He thrives in structure and his calm and steady demeanor can be rattled if he's thrown into a chaotic situation with no apparent leadership. The chaos and disorganization that comes from not knowing who is in charge and where people stand in relation to each other irritates him and he will actively try to find someone to be in charge of something that he can look to for a sense of stability. Holds confound him and he finds the complicated mess of the internal squabbling of lordlings to be frustrating to decipher.

He can sometimes get stuck in traditional views, and has a tendency of being blindly unquestioning of Weyr leadership and those who rank much higher than him. He's not inclined to just listen to blueriders, but he has trouble even thinking about questioning a bronzerider or most brownriders.

He greatly prefers to spend time with other people and usually doesn't spend all that much time in his own personal weyr as a result. X'siar is quite easy going with friends, and is usually keen to follow someone else's lead or suggestion. Once he considers someone a friend he is much more likely to not nitpick about them bucking traditions or even speaking negatively about leadership (though he himself would not be likely to participate in such discussions).

Important History:
715.03.28 and 0 - Taxusiar is born to weyrmates Brownrider X'chin and Greenrider S'lin. X'chin is a very traditionally minded rider, and is eager to raise his son to grow up and hopefully become a fine dragonrider like himself.
716 and 1 - With the plague coming, his parents make the desperate trip to the Southern Continent. Despite some close calls, they all arrive in generally good health though young Taxusiar seems like he may be underweight. X'chin blames this and all future examples of his son's frailty on S'lin's insistence that she carry the boy over instead of letting him and his stronger dragon handle it. As the years go on, X'chin continues to make comments about how S'lin is coddling the boy and hindering his development.
717 and 2 - A younger brother is born. X'chin is both pleased to have another son and stressed by the additional mouth to feed. He becomes increasingly agitated with S'lin any time one of the boys so much as coughs.
719 and 4 - His mother S'lin is attacked by felines and killed when she and X'chin go out to fetch some water. Taxusiar is still quite young, but does his best to help with his younger brother as best he can, watching him whenever his father has to go hunting.
720 and 5 - His father suddenly begins to pack all of their things and brings him to a new place full of more dragonriders and other strangers! It's the first time that Taxusiar has seen so many people that he can remember and he becomes fascinated with watching how they all interact with each other.
722 and 7 - When he isn't spending time with his brother or other children his age, X'chin encourages him to spend time with other brown and bronzeriders to learn what he can from them in the hopes that it'll increase his chances of one day impressing a higher ranked dragon. Taxusiar finds himself greatly looking up to those riders and eagerly listens to every story they tell him. His younger brother, jealous that he no longer has so much of Taxusiar's attention and eager to win their father's approval, starts trying to actively outdo everything his brother does.
727.04.24 and 12 - Almost a month after his twelfth birthday Nirinath flies! He's so excited to get a chance to Stand and try to follow in his father's footsteps. His younger brother is supportive in the only way he knows how to be: by constantly trying to heckle him and get his attention.
727.08.28 and 12 - He impresses Green Solenath in the first clutch and is too overjoyed to have her to even notice his father's disappointment or his younger brother's reaction. He throws himself into his studies and his dragon, eager to prove himself worthy of being chosen by his new lifemate. The youngest in his class, he looks up to all of his classmates, even the distant female bluerider. He's shaken when her dragon goes between, and the experience reinforces some of the more traditional values his father had tried to instill in him.
728 and 13 - He developes quite the boyish crush on a few classmates, especially Orwind of Blue Ayyonth and Uglor of Blue Delemth. He takes Uglor's death during training quite hard. Solenath offers him as much comfort and encouragement as she can, and Taxusiar decides to focus on his studies even more, taking them even more seriously so that he and Solenath can avoid any similar fates. Any time he sees his father and brother it becomes quite obvious that the X'chin has started to greatly favor the younger brother. X'siar assumes it's just because he's so busy with weyrling classes.
729.08.28 and 14 - Graduates and becomes X'siar. His father's disappointment becomes even more apparent as he berates his son afterwards in private, and tells him how he won't let his other son grow to be such a disappointment. His brother avoids talking or even looking at him entirely. More crushed by his brother's reaction than his father's, X'siar decides he won't let X'chin's attitude get him down. He adores his dragon even though she is green and he was among those who managed to Impress in that auspicious first clutch. He decides that clearly the best way to win back his family's approval is to prove himself as a capable dragonrider who can pull his own weight even on a green, and he tries to make himself useful in any way he can despite his young age. He makes a point to be especially prompt and respectful when ordered to do something by a brown or bronzerider.
730.01.20 and 14 - Early in the year he's approached by Z'rak and with a bit of booze, the bluerider manages to get X'siar into his bed. Shortly after, Solenath has her first Flight. They're caught by Z'rak's blue, Noith, and despite warnings from his classmate K'tir, X'siar falls stupidly head over heels for the much older bluerider. Noith wins their Flight again a few months later and Z'rak starts to invite X'siar into his bed even more outside of Flights.
731 and 16 - Nirinath flies again and X'siar is quite excited about the prospect of more people closer to his own age impressing in the hopes that it'll distract people so they stop giving him disapproving looks for his relationship with Z'rak. His relationship with his father becomes even more strained, and X'siar tries even harder to prove himself a good greenrider.
732 and 17 - Z'rak breaks up with him towards the end of the turn after managing to seduce a candidate. Heartbroken, X'siar goes to find some solace with his friend K'tir despite having to put up with several "I told you sos." He and K'tir become casual lovers/friends with benefits into the following year, but nothing serious comes of it. He indulges in a few other casual flings, and actually father's a son, Taxalorn, with a woman named Saralorn. He leaves the child in her care but at K'tir's insistence tries to at least be somewhat present for the child.
733 and 18 - In the second half of the year, one of Solenath's blue winners, T'rir, becomes persistent enough in his attempts to romance X'siar that he finds himself falling hard for the man despite more of K'tir's warnings that it won't go well. With all of the political strife and chaos happening, X'siar just tries to keep his head down and not draw any negative attention towards himself while he trusts that leadership will get everything sorted out.
734 and 19 - Early in the year he becomes weyrmates with T'rir and life as far as he is concerned is perfect. The landslide hits and ruins all of that for him. His hut is partially crushed, breaking his left arm and leg. Solenath is badly battered and pinned her by her left arm and part of her wing. Despite his own injuries, X'siar manages to keep her calm enough to avoid going between. It isn't until others come to their rescue and and ask about T'rir that he realizes the man was crushed right next to him in their bed. He later also receives news that his father had been killed in the landslide as well, but thankfully his younger brother and son survived. The rest of the year is filled with grief and rest as he and Solenath recover from their injuries. The green's left foreleg ultimately has to be amputated, a traumatic experience for the both of them.
735 and 20 - With how severe Solenath's injuries are, they stay behind in Katila to continue their recovery when most of the others, including his son and brother, go north to Telgar. The green has trouble keeping her balance at first and learns to use her wings as crutches. It's awkward at first but with X'siar's support she manages to get the hang of it enough that she can more easily move around on the ground. When she's eventually cleared for flight, they are both pleased to find that using her wings so much on the ground has made her a much stronger flyer, but she still has to work on her endurance and coordination for longer before they can think of going North.
736 and 21 - X'siar makes it up north in time to help with the cleanup efforts in preparation for opening Ista and Fort Weyrs. He's still too weak to be of much help with more taxing physical tasks, but starts working as a courier, delivering messages and occasionally people as required. He asks to be assigned to Fort so that he and Solenath can be close to more healers since they still have lingering effects from the Landslide and his arm isn't recovering as well as his leg had.
737 and 22 - He is reunited with his son when Saralorn transfers to Fort for him. It becomes obvious that his left arm will never fully recover and a large part of the problem seems to stem from Solenath's missing limb. He just tries to keep himself busy and useful and spends more time with Taxalorn.
738 and 23 - Solenath rises for the first time since the Landslide. She resumes her former flight cadence and while at first X'siar is annoyed, he gets used to it again.
741 and 26 - Relocates to Benden Weyr when it opens. Saralorn also transfers again, but because a dragonrider she's seeing also happens to be Benden bound. X'siar is just glad his son will still be nearby.
742 and 27 - Some murders happened.
743 and 28 - Fucking shit, more murders? Ugh.

Education
Details:
Most of his education was handled by his father, and he had old stories, traditions, and values drummed into him from a young age. He learned how to read and write and do basic maths. His father hoped for him to Impress a brown or bronze dragon, and so he pushed for him to take his studies seriously.

Dragon Information
Name:
Solenath
Colour:
Green
Pronounced:
Sole en ath
Wing and Rank:
[Select] of
Solenath
Adult Stats
22' 5" foot length, 10' foot tall, with a 36' foot wingspan.
Clutch Details:
Nirinath x Ronarth at Katila Weyr on the 727.08.28 [Clutch Page] Green 5 Keyword: Hope
Weyrlinghood
Solenath hatches a very dainty and delicate creature in a bright green base with a dusting of slightly darker green speckles along her back and the edges of her wings, with lighter patches along her belly and throat. She's a carefree and playful thing from the start and easy to dismiss as just another silly green.
Solenath
Adulthood
The most notable aspect of Solenath's physical appearance is that she is missing most of her front left leg. She has long faded pale scars in the shoulder there and along the leading edge of her left wing. She has adapted quite well to the missing leg, her balance has improved greatly though she sometimes seems to fuss over it as if it was still attached.

Her build is generally lithe, though her wings are especially strong and flexible, and she has learned to use them as crutches to help support her when she has to move either very quickly on the ground or is otherwise not wanting to worry about her balance too much because she is tired or only wanting to make a small adjustment.

Her adult hide has a great deal of contrast, the base of her hide still remaining a bright and vivid shade of green but the darker green becomes almost black in some spots along her spine and in her wing sails. It goes down the backs of her legs, with more of it spreading on her forelegs than back and some of it dusts her ribs. A very pale shade of green spreads across the front of her limbs, and her throat and along the front of her face.
Mindvoice
Husky and almost masculine when irritated, androgynous otherwise with a vocal resonance that creates a slight harmony with itself, creating a flanging effect.

(Think Turian voices from Mass Effect.)
Personality
Solenath is generally quite relaxed and warm, eager to greet others and chat, frequently encouraging them to relax a bit. She finds the pain of others to be distressing and is always eager to try and help them. She tries to balance out the moments when X'siar begins to get uptight and tense about something, and is always ready to offer him comfort when he's irritated just as she expects he will when she is unhappy.

She has proven herself to be steady in a crisis, and despite her general laid back attitude, can remain focused in high stress situations. Solenath is also quite patient, especially with X'siar who she adores even during his grumpiest moods.

The fact that her leg is missing doesn't bother her in itself, though she doesn't like the phantom sensations that plague her.
Quirks
Quirks and Mannerisms:
Due to using her wings to move around on the ground so much, Solenath frequently stretches them out and leaves them lazily spread out while lounging whenever she has the room to do so. Sometimes her stump will twitch and wiggle, especially when it's bothering her.

Likes
• Cuddles - She loves to lounge against friends and suitors, especially if she can lounge partially on top of or partially beneath someone.


Dislikes
• Bullies - As patient and peaceful as she is, she won't back down to bullies. And while she may not have much in the way of aggression herself, she will move herself between a bully and their target and just wait out anything that happens.
• Drugs - She hates medications and how they don't make her feel right. She especially hates fellis and other drugs that make her or X'siar feel drowsy but even numbweed bothers her since she already has trouble with determining which pains are real or not. This extends to recreational drugs and alcohol which have similar effects, and unless X'siar is with a friend that she trusts she gets irritated when he indulges.


Strengths
• Compassionate - Solenath is always willing to give comfort to those who are hurting for any reason, and is quick to forgive those who lash out in their pain.
• Enduring and Patient - She will lie in an uncomfortable position for hours to avoid disturbing someone who needs a nap if they fall asleep while leaned against her, and will let a dragonet or child crawl all over her.


Flaws
• Scatter brained - She has trouble sticking to a single topic and tends to meander in conversations, even sporadically jumping back to previous topics without warning, or just forgetting something has already been discussed.
• Phantom Limb - Just as X'siar frequently forgets he still has his arm, she gets frequent phantom sensations from her missing limb. She finds it especially annoying and distracting when it begins to itch or ache and there's nothing she can do about it.
