Brown and green; ...and a little notice

As you all may have noticed, two dragonets were standing Unimpressed on the Grounds: A brown female and a green female.
These are both quite interesting characters, so I'm going to give the Weyr an extra chance to get these two darlings into the RP. I considered for a while letting Irini Impress the brown, as I'm quite attached to it, but I decided against it - I have other plans with Irini.
Therefore, you can all enter a character (using the character sheet) in an answer to this post and make a note of which dragonet the character is interested in.
If nobody is interested - or I don't feel that any of the characters are appropriate - the green will Impress a NPC, and the brown will go between.

Also, I've seen that the activity level is going downwards since the Hatching. It's okay to have a writer's block every once in a while, but at least make an effort to post something!
Activity will you far, as I'm going to implement a shop (next week or something like that), but more importantly: I'm not going to ask an inactive person to be part of a plot. And YES, there ARE some plots going on. I also have more plots just waiting for the right characters.

Name: Rentus
Pronunciation: Ren-tus
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Sexual preference: Homosexual
Rank: Candidate
Weyrmate: N/A
Children: N/A

Personality: Rentus is not quiet, not complacent, not a pretty girl, and not afraid to let anyone know. She is as outspoken as she is unique. With a seemingly unwavering confidence, she attacks everything she does with a very subtle grace and a not so subtle determination. However, she's is understanding and soft with those who need it. She shows her vulnerable side to but a fair few, putting up her hard front most of the time.

Appearance: Rentus is rather tall for a girl, standing at five feet, 11 inches. She is a normal weight, but looks skinny due to her height. She keeps her blonde hair cut like a boys and has a crooked nose from when she broke it in a fight as an adolescent. She also has brown eyes and a fair complexion.

History: Rentus grew up in Tkana Hold with three older bothers. She quickly had to learn how to defend herself against their jokes and pranks and so decided she just needed to be louder and more aggressive than they were. When she was 12, another boy her age at the hold insulted Rentus's eldest brother who had just had his first child, who happened to be slow. Rentus took it personally and got in a fight with him, which resulted in her broken nose and chores for a month. When she was slightly older, Rentus realized that she wasn't like most of the other girls in her hold. They were off getting married to crafters and men making their way in the holds, but not Rentus. Being one of the boys as a child, Rentus found that she didn't like men, despite her experiences with them, but instead found herself attracted to other women. Deciding the only path for her now was to be a dragonrider or a wandering trader, Rentus began to train and become physically fit, so in case some rider came in Search, she would surely be chosen. When the Search riders finally came, Rentus was indeed chosen to be a candidate, but failed to Impress on her first standing. Now she stays at the Weyr, helping in the lower caverns, waiting for the next clutch of eggs. And if everything does go afoul, Rentus has always wanted to be a trader too.

Name: Suica
Pronunciation: So-ee-kAH
Gender: Female
Age: eighteen
Sexual preference: Bisexual (This isn't mentioned anywhere else because she doesn't know yet. She's pretty slow about some things. :p She prefers girls.)
Rank: Candidate

Personality:
If there is a defining trait to Suica it’s that the people who know her have the darnest time defining her. She is a bit aloof with strangers, and can get irritable if they invade her space. However, this reserve melts quickly into openness once she is certain they are friendly. As open as she ever gets, this is the beginning and end of her paradox.

The people around her almost exclusively define her behavior. She hides whichever facets of herself she feels might be offensive, bringing to the forefront the ones she thinks will be the most pleasing. This is not so much an attempt to deceive as a desire to make everyone around her as comfortable as possible. It can get messy with too many people, so she does not handle large crowds well. This can lead to a glaze-eyed “space out” withdrawal. She can still function in this state, but her work suffers.

When it comes to the people she trusts most, they find she is able to be both very serious and very silly. The deep questions of the world intrigue her, but she’s just as likely to be found playing a game of hide and seek with the weyrbrats as philosophizing. Her friendship extends to all, but her trust goes to very few, and those few she adores with all her heart. The little reserve she allows herself is almost nonexistent with these people, though she is still tentative in showing affection.

Her skills are somewhat limited, she is best at cooking and caring for animals. The determination and frustration she suppresses to suit others is channeled into her work, and since she is not by not a doormat by nature, it’s a lot of frustration. She is sensitive to the surrounding moods, and will occasionally become aggressive or melancholy on alien emotion alone.

Appearance:
Suica has wavy, shoulder-length brown hair that frizzes when it rains. Her face is slender with wide spaced hazel eyes. She stands just over 5’3”, and has a slender build. Her figure that borders on boyish, scant curves and a soft face just barely saving her from being mistaken for one. Her choice in clothing doesn’t help much. Movement is valued over propriety, so she wears pants or (when pants are not an option) light skirts in warm, earthy tones. She is quick and coordinated, but her spaciness now and then makes her look clumsier than she is.

History:
As the eldest daughter of a Healer and Herder, she absorbed both the natural wonders of her world and the satisfaction of caring for those weaker than herself. Her childhood was largely uneventful, though lonely. At the time she was a tomboy with a willful, cheerful nature, though she never was quite “right”. Something about her unnerved the other holders. Her eyes rarely fixed on the person she was talking to, instead staring straight through them before making an offhand excuse to get away.

There was no one moment that made her an outcast, it was no blast of threadfall, but crept in quiet as the tide. Under the alienation, she withdrew, little more than a pair of hands and a name to call to bring in the herds. After years of trial and error, she hit upon the answer – be what they want you to be, anything at all, and you don’t have to be alone. It was a lesson she learned far too well. Even after her discovery, she never connected fully with the other holders. Her understanding of love and trust were permanently warped, but the true tragedy is she wasn’t even aware it occurred.

The rider that Searched her was sure that her dragon had to be wrong. The dull-eyed girl in the dirty apron wasn’t fit to wash pots in the kitchens, much less ride a dragon. Suica’s father wasn’t too keen on the idea, disliking the fact that the Dragons consumed so much of his heard. Her mother talked him into it, knowing her daughter would leave whether they agreed or not. So the girl came to the weyr after a bit of persuasion by the rider’s dragon, but time has yet to tell if she will prove anyone wrong.

Colors preferred: Brown

Character's Form
Name: Wylvaren
Pronunciation: Wiv-la- rin
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Sexual preference: Borderline Asexual, but can be consider Bisexual if all else fails
Rank: Candidate
Weyrmate: --
Children: --
Personality: Wylvaren is a rather quiet, young man, allowing his hard work and quiet disposition to do most of his talking. However, just because he doesn't talk often, doesn't mean he is stupid or incapable. He is a hard worker, and when he puts his mind to something, he can get anything done. Born in Aradex Hold, he is rather open, more open than most Holders, having always wanted to live in the Weyr with the dragonriders. This young man is a kind heart, from fighting to defend the honour of his creche mother, to helping the drudges of the Holds and Weyr he lives in throughout the day. Serving and silent, Wylvaren enjoyed his life at Aradex Hold, but is slowly starting to warm up to Tkana Weyr.

Appearance: Wylvaren is a rather interesting figure, as he stands about 6"2', but slumps his shoulders forward to make himself look only 6 foot even. Tall and slender, Wylvaren is the type of person that is called on whenever the crafters need help with high things. Long-legged and toned, he simply puts on muscle by helping out around the Weyr. His hands and feet are rather large, while his shoulders are wide. Thin, he doesn't have a lot of fat on him, but a lot muscle. Of course, that should mean that he is always cold, but in truth, he is a walking heater, and on more than one occasion has attracted firelizards that he doesn't even know to him due to his body heat. His hair is dark, inky black in color and wavy in texture. His eyes a hard blue that seems to make most cower, unless you know him. His face is thin, not so thin that it is unattractive, but enough to notice that something is a bit off with him. He actually has a rather large nose, something from his past; a result of being a Holdbrat and fighting a lot as a child. It has been broken a few times, thus has just kind of swollen a little over time, til it's current size. His lips are drawn out and thin, eyebrows so dark that they stand out against his flesh.

History: Born at Aradex Hold, the seventh son of the Lord and Lady of the Hold, there was absolutely no chance of Wylvaren ever seeing the throne of the Hold. Thus, his mother sent him away. At first, he was sent to Tkana Hold, to the Lord and Lady of the Hold there, seeing as they didn't have as many sons and Wylvaren was already seven at the time. He stayed at Tkana Hold for only a fortnight, before he was sent back to Aradex Hold and forced onto a creche mother. From there, Wylvaren began living his own life, instead of living it for others.

His creche mother, Avion, was a simple woman who had been working as a Drudge for the Hold but had once been an excellent creche mother. Time and aging had stolen all her children, blood or not, away from her and when Wylvaren came to her, he was the only child in the house. But not in the Hold. It became no surprise that Wylvaren began running with the Holdbrats, and as long as he stayed out of trouble, Avion allowed it. It wasn't until Wylvaren came home one evening, bloody and bruised, that she began to worry.

It wasn't until Wylvaren was ten Turns that he began getting into serious fights. And every one was the same: someone said something against Avion and Wylvaren had fought to defend her honour. He limped home that night with a broken nose and a huge black eye. Avion had later found out that the other boy hadn't been so lucky, when the creche mother of the boy showed up at her door, forcing the boy to apologize to Wylvaren for pushing him over the edge, and forcing the boy to apologize to Avion for smearing her name. When the two had left, Avion had simply turned to Wylvaren and found the young boy looking up at her with such love in his eyes.

Two turns later, were both the happiest and saddest time of Wylvaren's short life. Avion came to him one day and informed him that she was going to have a baby, not informing him of the father or how the baby had come about. When her time finally came, it had been in the dead of night and she woke Wylvaren from a dead sleep by screaming. When Wylvaren reached her chambers, there was so much blood on the bedsheets and Avion had screamed for the nursemaid and a doctor. Racing from the home, Wylvaren found the nursemaid first, explained everything and when he went to run for the doctor, the nursemaid called him back, saying she would be enough. That night, Avion lost her life and the babe was unable to be saved. Wylvaren never spoke again, past saying a soft goodbye to Avion and her daughter.

Five Turns later, Wylvaren was Searched by a Bluerider, his dragon all but plucking him from his suddenly dull life at the Hold. Upon arriving at the Weyr, he was kept so busy that he barely though of Avion or the babe and soon he was able to smile again, but that was it. No one has really heard Wylvaren speak at the Weyr, some not even sure he can and that is just the way Wylvaren likes to keep it. After Standing at several Clutches, it is almost to the point where Wylvaren doesn't believe himself able to Impress a dragon and has been thinking long and hard on what he will do once he reaches 20 Turns.

Yeah, I thought not. We really don't need and insecure dragon and an even more insecure human as a pair. No harm in trying though. ^^
