Name: U'rin (once Utorin)
Age: 28 turns
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual, but could be flexible
Rank: Wingrider (Vanguard Wing, Vanish Half-Wing)
Appearance: U'rin is a short, stocky man with a shock of thick, wiry brown hair. He's attempted to make it behave before, but has learned better and he lets it do what it likes, now. His hair stands up in a two inch halo around his head, and it frizzes in humidity, making it seem even thicker and wilder than it would on clear days. He has warm brown eyes set over a nose which has obviously been broken a time or two and has a thin, ragged scar on his right cheek, beginning almost at the corner of his right eye and going downwards, ending mid-cheek. He has prominent, jug-handle ears and a lopsided smile that reveals a missing incisor.
U'rin is darkly tanned, his scars standing out in stark relief. Besides the scar on his cheek, he has three heavy claw marks on his right forearm, left over from Exianth's Hatching. He is heavily muscled, his shorter stature belying his true strength. Built solidly, he's often not the best person to decide to take on in a fight. Whether his opponent is a better skilled fighter than him or not, the question often becomes whether they can take him out before he takes them down.
Personality:
U'rin is warmhearted, friendly man who is often given to laughter. He enjoys the company of all and feels as comfortable talking to a stranger as he does with someone he has known for turns. He is always willing to set aside what he is doing and help someone else, and despairs of having empty hands. He doesn't sit still well, nor does he relax easily. He assumes that others will be as quick to help as he, and doesn't put up with shirkers well. He doesn't like Lord Holders, or their families, because he views them as lazy and as if they wouldn't know how to do a day's honest work if it were necessary.
As warmhearted as U'rin is, he is quick tempered and easy to anger. He does not take the contempt of others well, nor comments against him from his peers. This has gotten him in trouble often in the past, with his tendency to get into fights with a fey choice individuals with things to say about him. His quick temper carries over to comments about friends or those he holds in high regard. He is working on controlling his temper, but it is slow going.
He does not like the cold.
Family:
U'rin's family lives in High Reaches Hold. His mother, Utelle, is a Journeyman Weaver. Her skill was never quite enough to reach Master rank, but she is very capable. His father, Kalorin, cares for the llamas at the Hold. He has two younger brothers, Katel and Talorin. Talorin is currently at High Reaches Hold, learning his trade from his father, while Katel has taken up with a traveling merchant group.
Background:
U'rin was born and raised in High Reaches Hold, while he often longed for warmer weather. When he was 14, and his brothers were 10 and 6, Utorin was met a dragonrider on Search. She took him back with her to High Reaches Hold. His first three hatchings, he was met with nothing and began to despair of ever having a dragon of his own. On his fourth Hatching, Exianth found him. At that Hatching, Utorin had gotten in the way of another dragon, who knocked him to the ground and walked over him, ripping three deep gouges into his arm and his face as well.
U'rin was never comfortable with the disdain that the other riders treated Thread with. On some days, they treated it as if it were as likely as the firelizards they had heard of in tales. When he was approached by another rider about a project that was underway, to start a Weyr and prepare fore the inevitable, U'rin jumped at the chance. He didn't like sitting around, doing what seemed like nothing useful.
When High Reaches Weyr disbanded, he followed those who remained to Ista Weyr, and from there back to High Reaches when Imarna of gold Oolarnth came to help it become a Weyr again. He approached the goldrider on behalf of the Hidden Weyr, about the return of Thread. When she refused to believe him, their interaction became a little bit strained. Imarna obviously didn't see him as very capable, and if it weren't for the fact that she was the Weyrwoman, U'rin might not have been able to hold himself together.
When he found out that islands had been found, he offered his assistance. He requested a transfer to another weyr, and Imarna let him go, easily. He never arrived there, but instead went to help explore and claim the islands for Hidden Weyr.
Now, their work has paid off, and U'rin is glad to call this stretch islands home.
Pets: None
Name: Exianth
Age: 11 turns
Color: Blue (151B54)
Appearance: Exianth had always been a rather dark shade of blue, but (like his rider) the time in the islands has tanned him greatly. His hide is almost charcoal colored, with a warped blue tint rolling across him that is visible best in bright daylight. He is an average size, for a blue, but lean and sinewy. He has an almost lithe grace and a tendency to curl the tip of his tail over, when seated or sleeping. When sleeping, his tail also tends to twitch.
Exianth has abnormally prominent veins in his wings. They aren't that much larger, but it gives an odd ripple pattern where they stand out. He has a small hole in one wing that has healed over and is still flexible. He tripped and snagged it when he was small, and it hadn't healed closed. Mostly, it doesn't him, but it can be a little stiff from time to time. U'rin has a salve that he works into it if it bothers him.
Personality: Exianth is a bubbly, cheerful, happy-go-lucky type. Everything he sees has a bright side and each day is beautiful on its own merit. He often serves as a cheerful balance; a distraction, if you would, to calm his rider. He loves to play, with anyone, and thinks it's nearly as much fun as swimming. Living at Hidden Island Weyr, he gets many possibilities to do both.
Exianth also has a fascination with wildlife. When he isn't hungry, he has a tendency to just sit by the water or where the wildlife frequent and sit still, watching little things moving. His intense focus is often a source of amusement to U'rin.
