Name: Z'nar (Zelenar)
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Lifestyle Choice: Heterosexual
Rank: Bluerider
Job: Weyrling Master
Appearance: No one can deny that Z'nar makes an imposing presence. He is tall, with a firmly muscled body to match. Because of his towering height the muscles look lean on him, but his shoulders are still broader than most men of his age, with sharply defined arms and abs. He is a warrior to the core, and his appearance shows it. His eyes are a cold, sapphire blue that pierce right through your soul, but lighten when he gets the yen to smile. His face is usually set in stern expressions and can make him look older than he is, but when he does smile it brightens him and makes him look almost childish, and very beautiful. His handsomeness is rarely the first thing people notice about him due to his intimidating attitude, but there can be no doubt of it. His hair is silky and richly brown in color, with streaks of light and dark strewn throughout. It was cut in layers about his face, just long enough to graze the base of his neck which softens his look considerably. His lips are fuller than you can first tell for he normally has them pressed together in a stern line. He has various scars covering most of his body, a tribute to the seven years he has worked battling and training with his Dragon.
Personality: He grew up in a military heavy family, and because of such he often comes across as cold and very strict when you first meet him. He adheres to the rules almost obsessively, is extremely loyal to those in charge, and is willing to lay down his life for those who he has given his devotion to. He is strict, but fair when giving out punishment. The more respect he has for someone, however, the more gentle he gets towards them. He takes his job as Weyrling Master very seriously, and is always barking at the newest members. Once they begin to show improvement, however, he begins to feel proud of them, and considers them his own children. He then loosens up and begins to joke around, praise them, and even cast them a smile or two. Once you get past the cold, emotionless military side of him, you can see that he has a very soft center, one that tolerates no violence or disrespect towards women or children, or even the men who for whatever reason cannot help themselves. Once he gives his heart to someone, it never strays. If he feels comfortable enough with you to lower his guard and laugh and tell jokes, it is a special thing and his few friends know to treat it as such.
History: His mother was Selena of Green Jurath and his father Z'tar (Zalyntar) of Brown Vinarth from Ista Weyr in the South. They both were warriors in their own right and had a very turbulent relationship after his father's Brown caught his mother's Green. For Turns they snarled and yelled at each, and came together in fierce passion over and over again. Once Selena became pregnant with him, it changed the nature of their relationship. There began to be less fighting and more compassion, although the passion for each other never wavered. Nearly 28 Turns later and they still cannot keep their hands off of each other.
When he was born, Selena took a couple of years off from training and did more Searching, so she could spend more time with her son. His father, however, earned himself the rank of Wingmaster based solely on his and his Dragon's fighting capabilities. Both of his parents were very firm with him while he was growing up, shaping his mind into the warrior they hoped he would become, but being there to love him even after he was taken in to his foster home.
His life was fairly basic but never boring. He worked hard, trained hard, knew from an early age that he had the capability to shape the way others were learning. Even as a child he would step aside and assist those he saw having trouble with various fighting techniques. He had a sharp mind and was able to easily identify flaws in the system, and began to shape his own ways in his mind while he progressed through his training. When he was picked to be a Candidate, no one was surprised. They were surprised, however, that it took him nearly 8 Turns before he Impressed to his beloved Blue. Another turn and he would have been past the right age. Right away the two showed a bond over both fighting and bossing others around, and ingratiated themselves with their Queen as a very useful warrior team. Although he was young he became the Weyrling Master's unofficial Apprentice, training for the day he could find a Weyr in need of his very specific skills and finally put the training techniques and fighting formations he had come up with to good use.
He had a few love affairs, and his Syralth had taken it upon himself to give Chase a few times, but always to females mostly out of his reach and had never Caught any of them. Much to his Rider's relief. Z'nar was a very loyal man and knew that he would stick by the rider of whomever his Dragon chose to Mate with, but he knew in his soul there were no women at his former Weyr whom he wanted to be attached to. The other option... Well, he was very aware it was a possibility and chose not to think of it unless the time came. When the news came about Black Sands Weyr and he made the decision to transfer there to help them rebuild, he felt it was the right decision, and it came as something of a relief.
He is intrigued by the Weyr, respects its new Weyrwoman, and is already putting his mind to forming the new Weyrlings into true Skyborne. He is ready to settle in a new place and hopes he can train the Fledglings into a fighting force worth top honors.
Dragon's Name: Syralth
Dragon's Age: 7
Dragon's Hue: Blue
Dragon's Parentage: Gold Niruth and Brown Vezoth
Dragon's Appearance: Syralth is large for a blue, his wingspan almost as large as a small Brown's, and is as heavily muscles as his Rider. His coloring is so light a blue as to appear almost white over most of his body, with darker areas acting as if shadows shining off of a crystal, or perhaps ice. His tail is slightly darker and fades into an almost reflective, blinding light about his face, making the deep blue hue of his eyes stand out incomparably. Across one eye lay a long, jagged scar, zig zagging down from the ridge above to the middle of his cheek.
Dragon's Personality: Syralth shares his Rider's military style mind, enjoying few things more than battle, except perhaps telling others how to properly go about it. The largest different between the two is Syralth doesn't take himself nearly as seriously as Z'nar does. He is full of sarcastic comments and blunt observations. His greatest pleasure in life is annoying his Rider until Z'nar snaps at him, something the human does not normally resort to. However, when it comes time down to protecting His, he is more viscous than any other. If he feels Z'nar is threatened, there is nothing to save that threat from extinction.
