NAME: R’zon
RANK: Wingrider
AGE: 18
GENDER: male
ORIENTATION: bisexual (but insecure about it)
DRAGON: Brown Leviath
PETS: N/A
APPEARANCE: R’zon is a lightly muscled young man with slighter frame than most, standing at five foot ten. He makes quite the unimpressive appearance beside his Brown Leviath. His hair is jet black and short, but slightly shaggy and sometimes gets in his eyes. The only slightly remarkable thing about his appearance is his eye color. With his black hair and somewhat dusky skin, the light blue-green of his eyes is striking in comparison and sometimes gives others’ pause due to their somewhat haunting beauty. He moves with a certain grace that many call feminine and it is one of his biggest insecurities.
PERSONALITY FAULTS: He sometimes has feelings of inadequacy and insecurity, even though he has accomplished his biggest personal goal to Impress and become a Dragonrider. Therefore he often feels the need to prove his worth. Some of his insecurity comes from his confusion about his own sexuality. Like his dragon, he is on the quiet side and doesn’t often speak unless spoken to first. He finds it hard to make friends and the only ones he really talks to at all are his sister Talaria and his Dragon, as well A’zael who befriended him before he Impressed his Bronze. Once he has made up his mind, he is tirelessly stubborn and will not change it for any reason. He refuses to ask for help, seeing it as a sign of personal weakness and even more so, his own worthlessness.
PERSONALITY STRENGTHS: His tireless stubbornness can sometimes be a strength, for when he puts his mind to a task he perseveres until it is done, no matter the costs. He works hard and refuses to give up in order to prove his worth to himself and everyone around him. He has a sort of silent strength and a seemingly endless calm that can sometimes be encouraging to others and helps them to stay calm in stressful situations (really it is only him hiding his true feelings and reactions to stress, putting on a strong front in order to hide his own ‘weakness’).
Despite his own feelings of inadequacy, no one else would ever guess he felt that way for he hides his own weakness well and only Leviath knows of his true feelings while his sister has only an inkling. Surprisingly enough, though he is so hard on himself, he is actually very open and nonjudgmental with others (although part of that might just arise from feeling too inadequate to even begin to think of judging others as such). Those few that break through his silent shell are rewarded with endless loyalty, for gaining R’zon’s trust is not easy and is generally proof enough to him that you mean him well and value him, and anyone that can value someone like him should surely be rewarded with all the loyalty he has to give.
FAMILY: mother – older sister – Talaria, mother – Rozonia (deceased), father – Tu’lar (rider of Blue Vangarth, deceased)
HISTORY: R’zon was born Roruzon, second child and only son to Tu’lar, a Bluerider, and Rozonia, a woman who worked as a cook in the Weyr. His older sister was something of a role model for him. While she seemed to have many talents, Roruzon found nothing that he was truly good at. The first feelings of inadequacy began then, while he was still fairly young, and only continued to grow as he did as he was continuously frustrated to find that his talent laid in nothing. His mother was ever encouraging and was the only thing that really kept his spirits up through his constant failures. She told him that when he was old enough, he would certainly Impress a Dragon and then he would find his true talents, just like his father before him. It never helped that his father would have little to do with him and when he did visit them spent most of his time with his more promising daughter.
Then the family travelled to Mavros where Rozonia shortly died in the Threadstorm. Roruzon was devasted and fell into a depressive state. His sister helped to keep him going, but only just. They both stood for the first hatching and were disappointed, Roruzon withdrawing even farther into himself in his hopelessness. Perhaps his mother had been wrong…. But then the second hatching came, and as he stood with his sister on the sands yet again, he was chosen, and she was not. His wonderful and talented sister had not Impressed, but the Brown Leviath had chosen him. He had never loved anything or anyone more in that moment than his Leviath. With renewed hope, he changed his name to R’zon and began his new life as a Dragonrider.
During his later Weyrling months he met a new Candidate, a girl a turn older than he was named Kenessia. The two began a friendship which quickly turned into love, or what he thought was love. After Kenessia Impressed and her older cousin intervened in things, they had a falling out that left him rather depressed and confused. The two have avoided contact with each other ever since. He has been a part of the Gale Wing since his graduation some months ago and his confidence in Threadfighting is slowly building. Although he has been old enough, Leviath hasn’t seemed interested in chasing females so far, which R’zon is thankful for.
