Significant others: Formerly
Greenrider Kolette, there was a fall out, and he hasn't heard from her since
long before the shakes.
Children: None Height: 6'8" (hence the nickname Tree) Build: Lean, muscular, well proportioned... Hair color/style: Dark brown, with black low lights, short at about 2 or 3 inches, and it's usually ruffled or spiked much like his brother's. Eyes: Blue like the ocean, near the islands, off the coast of Southern, deep too, hiding so much. Complexion: Tanned, though he gets a few freckles now and then if he's out in the sun longer the usual. Anything you feel would help describe your persona better: He's tall and rather intimidating, barely looks like the young boy that many remember, but he's found his way, he's a good man, with decent manners, and he's calmed down a lot from Candidate and Weyrling days... He only carries one knife, in his left boot, because no one would expect a right handed man to have a knife in his left boot. He has three small silver rings in both his ears, and for a while he had on in his left eyebrow, his explanations was a fishing accident, but as much as he liked it, his mother made him take it out. He's got a smirk that usual makes people wonder what he's thinking... Habits: His right eye starts to twitch when people get on his nerves, but he's learned to control his temper. Hobbies: Fishing, Swimming, Talking to dolphins, Reading, Running....
Personality: Where as he
used to be quiet, shy, in the background, occasionally outgoing when the
mood struck him, he's now grown into himself, he's got confidence, he's
bolder, and he's comfortable with who he is. He's usually got a smile, if
not then he's usually thinking something over. He used to have a hot temper,
but he learned to control it, harness it, and use it productively. He's
still got a lot of energy, but he knows how to use it, and how to get things
done...
Background: His foster parents found him with his younger brother K'rrick, washed up on the beach, and took him in. His foster father wanted him to be a fisher, and his foster mother wanted him to make his own path. At five turns he was often caught stowing away on his foster father's ship. He loved the ocean, and everything to do with it. At seven his foster father started to put him to work on the ship, helping take care of the deck and the like. He officially apprenticed at twelve, and was searched at sixteen, by a rider from the Paradise River Weyr, that had been there to collect the tithe. Less then a month later he was bonded to his life mate Colinth.
Weyrling training was
entertaining to say the least. He was from the last graduating class of
Paradise River Weyr, before the first shakes that took it to the ground. He
was transferred to Free Falling Weyr, freshly graduated, and still 'wet
behind the gills' as his foster father liked to say. He stayed a learned a
lot, meeting first fall with the fighting wings, and earning as he and
Colinth earned their share of scores. At twenty one, only a turn and a half
spent at Free Falling, he took the transfer to Telgar Weyr.
He learned quick to stand up
for himself, and found his confidence, being appointed Wing second, in one
of the higher level fighting wings, only two months into his stay. A turn
and a half later at Twenty three he was given his own wing, and was
surprised that his brother was his second.
He kept his wing in check,
and they were good, being one of about ten wings lead by brownriders, at
Telgar, he and K'rrick got along well with their wing mates, and were often
known as Fisher and Smith, as sometimes they'd clash, or one would use an
analogy from their former craft, like 'there's more then one way to scale a
fish'.
When Weyrleader's changed
they were split up, D'gran's wing was out on sweeps the day and time of the
shakes, and he was worried for his brother...
He brought his wing back, as
they grabbed anyone that didn't have a dragon, and took them to safety, they
only made one trip, as Telgar Weyr blew sky high. They worked together with
the other survivors and set up a refugee camp, as they went back once the
ground had started to cool the next day, and helped anyone they could find,
and started the painful process of burying the unlucky.
He and his wing, were sent
to Southern, and he was grateful to see his brother was safe and sound, as
selfish as that might seem, and he heard his brother got sent to Ista, and
he's been applying for transfer every sevenday since he heard K'rrick got
sent to Free Falling Weyr. He wants to go back, see the Weyrwoman, and the
others he remembers from Paradise River Weyr that came to Free Falling, and
those he met at Free Falling.
Southern split up his wing,
and he's stuck flying lower level clean up in the queen's wing, as
apparently his made someone made somewhere along the way. He's not liking
being so far from the action, where he's used to be up, high, in the first
wave... Even Colinth's getting annoyed with the Southerners.
Coming back to Free Falling
though, he wonders if anyone will recognize him as the once shy but
hyperactive youth he was... He wants to be just a regular rider again, and
he wants to be near his brother, and help keep an eye on K'rrick and
Kensith...
