Ba'lanName Pronounced: Bay-lan Appearance: Ba‘lan (Baylan) on the tall side, about 6‘2“. He really doesn't stand out in the crowd right away until you notice his muscles, short shaved dark brown hair and striking blue eyes. He isn't one for caring too much how he looks. A few smudges of dirt never hurt anyone. His face is kept clean shaven because scruff annoys him and his hair is so short just to keep it out of his eyes while working. Being a Southerner he's got a dark tan spread over his skin and the tendency to almost never burn. Ba’lan almost always has a smirk on his face, an intriguing look that have people wanting to know just what’s so funny. Personality: Hard worker is what all of his masters say but after turns of being left standing what else was a guy to do? Ba’lan threw himself into his craft after this third disappointing hatching. If he couldn't ride dragons then at least there were runners. He spent his days muscling around the stallions being broken and even now being a rider he sometimes forgets when he's around people that you can't just push your way around them too. He's a pretty quiet guy most of the time, just observing what's going on around him but quick to make a joke to break the ice. He‘s a big fan of laughter and humor, trying to find a way to fit it into every day. If someone‘s looking down, he‘ll often try to get them to crack a smile.. History: Born Pre-pass -10.4.16 Information about Ba'lan's dragon Dragon Name: Cyclanth Colour: Brown Age: 12 turns Wing (Weyrling Group): None Appearance: Cyclanth resembles the shades of a finely stained desk. His hide looks a bit shiny in the light giving him the appearance of being well oiled all the time. His colors are mixes of light and dark browns marking him almost the way the grain is in a piece of wood. His hide is ringed around his eyes like two dark knot holes. Personality: Cyclanth can pack in food like you'd never believe possible. He is always hungry and there seems to be no end to his stomach. Just like his rider he's a very observant dragon taking in everything he sees but his uses for the information he gathers are comical. He uses what he sees to be a bit mischievous. This brown is a clown at heart. He'll bugle to grab attention before tumbling and rolling for entertainment and end of course with another of his trademark calls. He likes to poke his dragon friends with the tip of his tail. Weyr of Origin: Benden Abilites and weaknesses: Cyclanth's large wings make it much easier for him to propel himself through the air. His habit of tumbling and rolling help him mimic the acrobatics of greens. His oversized tail does get in the way, especially when he isn't conscious of it's location.
