N'kavCharacter type: Dragonrider Appearance: Nalkav is a tall, muscular young man, honed to physical maturity by many years of farming beside his father. When he does not speak he seems older than his 19 turns. He is full grown, and no adolescent clumsyness remains. He has sandy brown hair, lightened by years in the sun. His skin is perpetually tanned, a deep wind burnished brown. In the winter months, the tan fades to a lighter brown with dark freckles. His eyes are a brown so dark they appear black under the softer light of glows. They display his emotions clearly, even when he has schooled his features to show nothing. Nalkav is quite handsome, but too insecure to flaunt his looks, even if he was aware of them. Personality: Nalkav is shy, and a little stubborn. He grew up very isolated from children his own age. His "friends" are all many turns older than him, and his father's policy was that children were better served to listen than speak. This has ingrained Nalkav with a tendancy to watch and learn everything, from how to act to the proper way to use a tool. He doggedly pursues any task History: Nalkav is the only son of Korben, a minor cotholder who provides angricultural goods to Arolos Hold. The holding was an isolated one, and hard work to harvest anything from. Korben was a proud, independant man, and preferred his own meager cotholding to a more comfortable Information about N'kav's pets Pet Name: Piquette Pet Type: Firelizard Appearance: Piquette is large, nearly as big as many bronze flits. His hide is a deep chocolate color that looks soft from any distance at all. Despite a somewhat chunky, rounded physique, he is fairly nimble in flight. His grasp of Betweening is very good, allowing him to further compensate for his bulk when trying to maneuver. Personality: Very curious and outspoken, often saying what Information about N'kav's dragon Dragon Name: Aubroth Colour: Bronze Age: 18 months Wing (Weyrling Group): Skystrikers Appearance: Long and lean, this bronze cannot honestly be said to glide across the room, for dragons are not graceful creatures when earthbound. There is a desperate beauty in Aubroth, yearning for the day he can forever make the earth a mere convenience rather than a prison. Even his skin Personality: Arogance and self-assurance, hallmarks of a bronze hide, swirl around this dragon like a king's mantel. Always Aubroth looks about him with attentive, calculating eyes, as if Weyr of Origin: Arolos Abilites and weaknesses: Aubroth is more agile than most bronze dragons, with a lithe build and nimble body. He is more slender than other bronzes, and while he can carry out his duties with ease, his endurance is not equal to other bronzes.
