NAME: D'nel
RANK: Wingsecond
AGE: 25
GENDER: male
ORIENTATION: demisexual/bi-greyromantic
DRAGON: Bronze Nadornith
PETS: Bronze gemglide Strider
APPEARANCE: He is at first glance an unassuming looking man. On the short side for a man, he stands at only 5'6. He arrived at the Weyr scrawny and underfed, and while he has since bulked up from the rigors of being a rider, he still has a slender build. Since returning from the past, he has a slight limp, especially on rainy days, from a flying accident. His features are average to middling handsome, and he can blend in easily with the crowd when he wants to. If not, he enjoys dressing in luxurious goods.
D'nel has dark brown hair, which he wears short for convenience. There is usually a faint shadow of stubble on his chin. His eyes are also dark, nearly black. He likes to dress well when he can, and many of his gambling profits are put towards clothing and jewels. One quirk of his is that he always carries a pack of playing cards in his pocket, and he takes them out to shuffle when he gets bored. (Play-by: Andrew Scott)
PERSONALITY FAULTS: D'nel is extremely selfish, always putting himself first. When he makes a decision, he makes it based on how he can benefit, not how other people will be affected. He doesn't generally have a good opinion of the human race, and thinks that most people are stupid and gullible. He's as likely to trick you as look at you, and he rarely makes true friends. Oh, and he has a gambling vice. He'll bet on absolutely everything.
PERSONALITY STRENGTHS: D'nel is ambitious. He will never give up once he sets his mind to something. He does possess a great deal of personal strength. He just keeps it all focused on himself, instead of helping anyone else. On an everyday basis, he can be friendly, and get along with people relatively well--it's just an act most of the time. He does have a sense of humor too, although sometimes other people may not share it.
FAMILY: Dalla, cook/pillowcrafter at Bitra Hold
Ravinel, gambler at Bitra Hold
HISTORY: Darnell was born in Bitra Hold to a couple of ne'er do wells. He already had several half-siblings, and his mother took care of him only as much as she needed to. At the age of six or seven he was already out in the Gather crowds, pickpocketing for extra marks. He learned to look out for himself and no one else.
He picked up gambling as an essential skill. As a teenager he learned everything about cheating at cards, and that was how he made his living. Of course, he earned himself a reputation. He began moving from Hold to Hold, making money at Gathers and then skipping town. He picked up drinking buddies and paramours along the way, but never formed a deep relationship with anyone. He eventually found his way to Mavros Weyr, and he managed to put himself in the path of a Search rider and become a candidate.
He Impressed a ruthless Bronze named Nadornith and reluctantly began weyrling training. During weyrlinghood, he became involved with a fellow weyrling, V'guel, and the pair struck up a sort of partnership. After graduating, however, D'nel was determined to be independent and he went back in time to try and gain leverage with leadership. After returning to the present, he took up a Wingsecond position, and he now bides his time while planning his next moves.
NAME: Strider
OWNER: D'nel
COLOR: Bronze
APPEARANCE: This Bronze is about mid-sized for his color; he’ll be 20 inches at full growth and is 4 inches at hatching. However he is quite pudgy, rotund even. His main hide color is almost a perfect median between gold and brown, suitable for a Bronze, with the metallic sheen always seen on golds and bronzes. His fingers and toes are almost golden in color while his belly, jaw, tailfork, and headnobs are a dark rusty-copper. His gem is a pale peridot and his fur is white with thin black stripes.
PERSONALITY: Bold, Greedy, Appreciative
In true Bronze form, this little guy is bold and brazen, clear about his desires and communicating them to those around him. He is quite a greedy little thing and will not abide sharing His with anyone if he can help it. What he claims, he keeps to himself and isn’t afraid to lash out if anyone tries to take them from him. He has a certain fondness for His and appreciates everything His gives him. He will attempt to repay His for his kindness in any way he can. He isn’t one to care much for attention from others, His is all he needs.
Nadornith (nah-dohr-nith)
Agility: 4
Speed: 5
Endurance: 7
Size At Full Growth: 69 feet
Speaking Color: 28361D
Appearance
Nadornith, although technically average sized for a Bronze, seems to be leaning toward your typical Blue physique, slimmer than most Bronzes. He is long-limbed and lanky with less pronounced and obvious musculature than his Bronze father. His wings are on the short side for a Bronze which will cost him some endurance but also gain him some speed and agility uncharacteristic for his color. He is probably the darkest Bronze at Mavros, and possibly one of the darkest Bronzes on Pern. He almost seems to be black, but in the sunlight has a greenish-bronze sheen marking him clearly for what he really is. His hide is otherwise unmarked.
Personality
Sarcastic, Ambitious, Observant, Calculating
Most of the time Nadornith composes himself with a quiet dignity and will only rarely deign to speak to humans other than his rider, if at all. He is quiet among dragons as well, preferring to observe and listen to the gossip rather than participate in it. He is a very quick study, noticing almost instantly when things are out of place, able to read the mood in the air very well, and almost makes him seem ‘psychic’ at times simply because his observations lead him to logical conclusions, especially when something of import is about to happen. What he observes, he stores away to be used at the most opportune times. He likes to be steps ahead of his competition and is good at making sure he is just that. He sees. He knows. He plans. And only then does he move forward. When he does speak, it is rare that he won’t include some sort of sarcastic remark. He has a dry sense of humor that can often be offensive.
He isn’t likely to chase after Greens unless it is to prove a point. What that point might be might vary, perhaps the Green offended him or some human questioned his abilities, and he might even chase if his rider wills him to, but he’ll never chase a Green ‘just because’. He doesn’t like to waste his time on such frivolous endeavors and much prefers to wait for a Gold to rise. Siring a clutch is worth the chase and if there is the added bonus of making His Weyrleader, all the better. He is ambitious and what he wants he goes after with single-minded passion. He may have a tendency toward aggression during mating flights, especially those of Golds, for he is willing to do just about anything to get what he wants.
