NAME: Jarath [Jair-ath]
AGE: 20
COLOR: Bronze
RIDER: Lo’qui
RANK: [?]
SPEAKING COLOR: ba553d

APPEARANCE:
[purchased 10ft extra]
A massive creature at 85ft length. He is large, but with a slightly more slender build. One would describe him as an elegant beast. He is a mix muted rust red and gold. The two mix in a sandpaper texture over his whole body (except for under his wings, which are solid muted red rust). His hide looks more muted in indoor lighting, but in the sun shimmers just the slightest where the gold comes through - making him look a little like the ambers of a fire. He also has scarring in multiple places along his body around his shoulders (more obvious on the left side) and tail - and pieces of the webbing around his wings have a slightly shredded look to them in a couple of places along the edge. On ground he is surprising graceful and mostly aware of his surroundings (he does have his moments in unfamiliar places where he doesn’t realize just how large he is). In the air he is experienced, but has very limited agility, often looks clumsy when he attempts to chase greens. However, he is able to build up speed, which can be catastrophic when trying maneuver quickly.

PERSONALITY: Confident, Competitive, Optimistic, Protective, Nosy

Jarath is confident in all aspects of who he is and who is rider is. There are no harsh words about anything that will rile him up. He knows how good he is and how good his rider is, anything said otherwise is laughable. He does think he’s better than everyone else, and while he’ll communicate it to his rider, he doesn’t make his beliefs known (unless done subtly the way he’ll react to people who make fun of him.) Jarath usually ignores attempts to rile him up, though if he knows the other well, may or may not make a come back. He doesn't like back and forth negative banter though, so he’ll ignore any who try it with him. He likes to ignore others when given the chance.

When it comes to challenges, Jarath will take up any challenge given and will follow through (even recklessly) to prove that he is the best. While he knows most of his limitations, he sometimes forget and make rash decisions - later remembering through his past mistakes through the memories of his rider. He often won’t feel guilty about said events, unless his rider disapproves. Otherwise he knows he will only do better next time.

Since Jarath believes he is the best, he will of course try to have the best and chases golds of course. He also chases all greens, since he loves action and all challenges. He loves to win at everything, or attempt to. (because if he’s not fast or agile enough, perhaps the green will just let him catch them.) It does bother him when he loses, but he won’t let others know that, except of course his rider often.

He is also optimistic in all aspects of his life, very little gets him down. If he ever does, it’s because his rider or a dragon he cares about is deeply bothered or in pain. The only time he is riled to anger is during threadfalls or if someone threatens his rider’s life or someone he cares about.

Unless it’s to prove a point or to be polite (like if his rider wants him to speak with someone) he’s unlikely to speak to other people. (other exception is if his rider has a close bond with whoever the person is.) The other exception to talking to other riders or humans is if he’s curious about something. He loves to be amid the drama and excitement of the weyr - he’s less interested in facts of life and more in the gossip of the going ons.
