NAME: Nameless
SPECIES: Firelizard
COLOR: Brown
AGE: Five Turns
OWNER: Wild
APPEARANCE: This boy is a fairly typical specimen. With a dark brown base color, he could easily blend in to the bark of trees- if not for his markings. The brown breaks into speckles, which turn into a more orange shade that covers his underside, legs, feet, and tail. Lean and slender, this brown isn't nearly as large as he might have become, had he hatched into the care of humans.
Nearly two feet from nose to tailtip, and just as high, the brown boasts a near three-foot wingspan. His ribs, once showing clearly through his skin- a sign of his constant struggle to find adequate food, have since disappeared as he has made the most of the abundance in the weyr. In addition, scars mar his hide- some fresh and showing clearly, others older and faded into his dark color, but easily felt.
PERSONALITY: The brown is a solitary creature, first and foremost. He likes being on his own, answering to nobody- save a queen or two- and looks down on many of the humans who populate the Weyr. Born wild, the brown's personality developed through interactions with those of his kind, and the need to hunt and defend himself on a daily basis. He still hunts for himself, but when the hunt is hard and food scarce outside of Mavros, he turns readily to the humans, to get food from them.
Rather a bully, the brown is possessive over what he deems to be his, and he has given and received scars in fights to keep other firelizards away. He can't keep track of them all the time, but the sight of him is usually enough to send most of his kind fleeing.
Surprisingly, he does he have a softer side. If he can muscle his way into a feeding, he will momentarily act like any tame firelizard, all happiness and crooning- so long as the food keeps coming. He might even tolerate a touch, but don't get cocky- too much and he won't hesitate to lash out.
