Pet Type: Brown Firelizard Pet Name: Wakmin Pet Age: 1
Brief Description of Persona:
Wakminleti, or Minleti as he calls himself (and often times
others
call him), has yet to go through his growth spurt. Standing at a
"giant"
height of 4'6" and weighing in at the 'slightly'-chubby weight of 122
pounds,
Minleti is, indeed, a laughing matter. His hair is a thick unbrushed
dirty-blonde,
and his eyes are a muddy mulled brown in colour. His face is thick with
freckles and pimples, none of which ever seem to fade or disappear. He
speaks in a
low pitched nasal voice, and is constantly coughing, snorting,
sniffling, or
gurgling from his seemingly never-ending cold.
Minleti is one of those constant chatterers, who love to
talk
about themselves, their relatives, their friends, their pets, how great
they
are,
their lives, their favorite food...anything, so long as the subject can
contribute to something that has to do with them. He forever speaks in
the
same
monotone voice, and will always interrupt a person every two words,
just to
basically hear himself talk. He thinks everyone wants to be his friend,
and
has
quite a few "best friends" that, when they have the pleasure of being
alone
and
talking among themselves, talk behind his back. He's constantly trying
to be
better than everyone else, though he rarely ever succeeds, but he'll
think
of a
way that he was wronged so that the failure was really just an
accident.
He's
an egocentric, through and through, and, despite what some people say,
has
no
inner feelings of a lost boy trying to prove himself to the world.
Brief History of Persona:
Born to a Senior Journeyman Smith and a Cook at Coral Reef
Weyr,
Minleti was a complete accident. The cook had been taking some certain
herbs
to
help prevent her from getting pregnent, but, nonetheless, get pregnent
she
did,
and soon she had a bouncing baby boy that she named Wakminleti, after
her
deceased grandfather. Minleti's father grudgingly stayed around to help
raise him
to the age of four turns, and then left (rather happily, actually) to
go on
assignment to a hold somewhere else. His mother spoiled him in the
worst
way,
giving him far more than his share in dessert, always letting him get
away
with
things, and ignoring any complaints others made about his actions.
The boy bragged about how he could do anything, driving the other
weyrbrats
mad, and would take on any job given to him to prove that he was
'great' at
'everything.' Finally, one day he complained to his mother about
wanting to
go
join a craft, and she agreed a bit hesitently, before sending him to
join
the
weaver craft. As a going away present, she gave him a flit egg. Minleti
stayed
around long enough for the egg to hatch a brown, which Minleti named
after
himself, calling it Wakmin. As soon as the flit was a week old, Minleti
joined the
weaver craft, and went to the hall to study, and slowly made his way
through
the first year of apprenticeship...
Brief Description of Pet:
Wakmin is a light sandy brown, with a thick, short
snout.
He
seems to have no neck, and especially elongated limbs, with an
unaturally
long tail (that may be making up for his lack of neck) that can easily
curl
around him. He appears to be deathly thin for a flit, though he eats
more
than most
flits do. He's one of the few things that seems to like his
disagreeable
master, and can always be found sitting on Minleti's shoulder, preening
himself
and trying to catch the attention of any passing green or gold.
