Name:C'aeg
Rank: Bluerider
Age: 30

Dragon Name: Ryujith Dragon Color: Blue

Brief Description of Persona:

  • C'aeg stands at 6'2 and is a stocky, powerfully build man. He has the kind of build that you would imagine old style blacksmiths would have. His left wrist tends to be weaker then his right from being broken. His left shoulder is also weaker then the other at times from being disolcated. He also has numerous scars on his body from his many fights over the turns. He only has one Thread score on his chest.

    C'aeg has short dark mahogonny coloured hair and thanks to a widows peak his fringe tends to hang in his eyes. His hair is the kind of shade that looks almost black but in the direct sunlight is quite a deep red-brown. His eyes are a clear light grey and his skin is usually nicely tanned with olive under tones to it. His skin tone tends to make his light eyes stand out and seem the more unnerving.

    In terms of looks he's probably average with a square jaw, Roman nose, full lips and a high forehead. His eyes are probably his stand out feature and his cheeky grin.

    He tends to have a habit for brushing his hair out of his eyes. He also tends to run his hand through it when he's frustrated or nervous. YOu can tell he's had a bad day because his hair will be a mess. His body is in fairly good condition cos he tends to like to exercise both himself and his dragon.

  • C'aeg is a pretty charming, carefree and cheerful sort of person. Straight away you can tell he used to be a rascal as a child and still retains some of these characteristics. He's smart mouthed, a smooth talker and he's often behind most of the pranks going on in a wery. He never takes anything seriously, is often cheeky and insolent. He also has a pretty bad temper when somebody gets on his bad side - especially when he used to drink.

    However C'aeg isn't a lazy sort of person. He doesn't mind pottering around on some little project he's doing or creating his fine leather work. He tends to be an avid reader and he listens, he likes to know what's going on at all times. If somebody wants to know something they tend to come to C'aeg for he tends to know everything that's going on, has been going on and will be going on. He's not a gossip but he does like to know. He is also a fairly neat, organised sort of person. Faranth help a person that uses something of his and doesn't return it the same place or who makes a mess and doesn't tidy it up. Ryujith is usually just as clean and well looked after.

    C'aeg also has one secret that few know of in his new home, he tends to not drink any more because getting drunk tends to turn him into a demon. He gets aggressive, nasty, violent and out of control. A few turns back after a particular bad drunken bar fight where he nearly killed a Lord Holder's son he decided to quit drinking and he hasn't touched a drop since. His drinking and aggressive tendancies when drunk lost him his weyrmate too.

    Brief History of Persona:
    Craeg was born the middle child out of three to a weyrmated greenrider and bronzerider at Igen Weyr. Growing up a weyrbrat raised by a mixture of his aunt Raewyn the Assistant Headwoman and his parents he never lacked for attention.

    Craeg right from the minute he was born had both his parents, foster mother and others spread throughout the Weyr to curse. Craeg was a natural rascal. He always got into trouble whether from hitting one of his playmates, stealing food from the kitchens or sneaking into the Hatching Cavern - it was always something. Smart mouthed, insolent and ever mischevious he was alwys the ringleader behind many of the pranks going on around the weyr and was nearly impossible to control.

    But Raewyn, ever a strong and determined sort of woman decided she'd tame her nephew and foster son if it was the last thing she did. Slowly with time, patience and a strong will she was able to tame some of his worst traits. She even convineced him at 13 to Apprentice to a craft. Craeg agreed but he was also determined to stand for Impression at the same time.

    So he Apprenticed to the Tannercraft and was accepted in despiste the misgivings of his teachers who'd heard all the warnings about him. But Creag surprised them by being both interested and deft enough to pick up the the skills of a tanner fairly quickly and even developed some skill with his leather work. He'd also excelled at his harper lessons and despite his character his harper teachers adored him.

    But from the age of 14 he took his right as a weyrbrat to stand for Impression and was disappointed for two turns before finally at 16 while standing for his third try he Impressed his Ryujith. However if the Weyrlingmaster thought that Impressing his blue would tame him and make him grow up this wasn't happening. While he listened more to the Weyrlingmaster and his Assistants and diligently worked to help Ryujith he was still a rascal. Still behind a pranks, still insolent when he wanted to be. In short the same person he was before he Impressed.

    But the blue pair of Weyrlings graduated in due time with the rest of their class as the Weyrlingmaster couldn't deny they were among the top of their Weyrling class. While Thread wasn't falling at the time C'aeg and Ryujith trained hard and in his spare time C'aeg kept to his hobbies. He liked to make all of Ryujith's harnesses, saddles and straps himself. He also made other goods as well. He was good enough that he was able to make quite a good profit out of the leather goods he sold at Gathers or just to riders that asked him to make things.

    C'aeg, ever somebody that liked the company of both men and woman, was never short of a bed mate but he it wasn't till he was 22 that he meet the man to be his weyrmate.

    Danis, a Senior Journeyman Harper came to Igen Weyr to take over the spot as Weyrharper. The former Weyrharper wanted to return to Fort Hall to work on his Master knots. It wasn't long before the pair meet, became good friends and then finally lovers. The pair decided to become weyrmates after a couple of turns. C'aeg for once in his life was happy and secure and many of his past bad traits were finally tamed by his gentle weyrmate.

    But problems were arising as C'aeg was drinking alot and getting into alot of bar fights provoked by his aggressive tendancies. Danis walked out on him when one such fight resulted in C'aeg nearly killing the Igen Lord Holder's son and Ryujith sustaining a wicked knife wound or two of his own. All three acts were sufficent to wake C'aeg up to what he was doing and while he couldn't get his weyrmate back or escape the guilt of what had happened he decided to fix himself up. After several turns visiting a mindhealer and giving up drinking he's reformed himself in many ways. He no longer drinks, learned anger management techniques and self-control. The return of Thread and sustaining injuries from their first Threadfall also woke the reckless C'aeg up. He's been clean for 3 turns now and going. He also has a couple of weyrbrats that are results from either flights or brief liasons. Even thought he is clean he still goes to his mindhealer fearing that he's not clear yet.

    But he finds that too many of the people around him, his old drinking buddies in particular are not helping his situation and his pain at the loss of his Weyrmate have meant he's decided to transfer to Coral Reef to make a new start.

    Description of Dragon:

  • Ryujith is an average sized blue but he's leaner, almost slender for a blue. He tends to have a longer tail and wings then is usual for a blue of his size so he is more agile in the air. In terms of colour he's a solid sapphire blue that has a pretty sheen to him when he's in the sun. Ryujith has a a fairly recent Threadscore to the trailing edges of his wings. Plus he bares the knife scars on his forearms and chest.

    In terms of personality Ruyjith is the steadier, calmer one of the two of them. But like his rider he's charming and likes to listen to what's going on. Like his rider he tends to know everything thats going on around them.

    Attatched NPCs:

  • Craye, 3, Weyrbrat at Igen Weyr. Son

    Tilica, 9, Weyrbrat at Igen Weyr. Daughter.
