Dragon Name: Samiath
Dragon Color: Blue Dragon Age:<1
Brief Description of Persona:
Zacaf is something of a giant at 6'1, he
has broad shoulders, a wide chest and the kind of solid build a wrestler or
sailor has. He looks a bit daunting with his height, build and grumpy
expression. He has wild red hair and green eyes, with the kind of ruddy
cheeked, weathered look of somebody at home outside under hot sun but very
blush prone complexion.
He can't really be called handsome but to some that like the rugged sailor look that is him. He is one eyed, so he
wears a leather patch in different colours and with different images
embroided on them. He has nice lips and his good eye, is green and deep
set. He has high cheekbones, is clean shaven except for a goatee on his chin
which he is very proud of. A strong jaw, hawk like nose and high forehead
complete the look.
His dress style is casual, comfortable and usually well worn. He gets very
attached to his possessions and hates throwing things away. He tends to wear
alot of blue shades. His leather patches are his claim to fame. He has many
of them in different colours and with different patterns. His favourite one
that he is most often seen wearing is red leather with a bronze dragon
flaming thread on the front of it.
Zacaf is a bit of a bear of a character. He loves his food, his sleep, his drink and at times a hand at dragon poker. He is opinionated,
cheerful, fiercly loyal and very protective of his friends and loved ones,
especially children. He would do anything for somebody he loved and is
surprisingly a good listener. He has an extraordinary memory and is not to
comfortable taking orders, he prefers to give them. But if he has to take an
order, he must question it - he is not a blind follower. He has a bit of a
temper, especially when he feels nobody is listening to him and has a habit
of putting his foot in his mouth so to speak. He can be stubbourn and is very much a bloke's bloke.
He loves sailing and the sea, he thinks there is nothing better then flying
across the water on a ship. He has a great weakness for a great adventure
and admires alot of Pernese heros, especially dragonrider heroes. He is a very good story teller. A hobby he also takes up now and again.
Brief Description of History:
Zacaf is the the oldest of eight children born to
Calco, a Master Seacrafter and captain of his own merchant ship. He and his
siblings know that they are products of brief sexual relationships their
father had with bar maids and pillow workers. A good hearted man who took
care of his responsibilites, Calco claimed all his children, giving them his
name and finding them all foster families. Zacaf and Balcin, his older two
boys however he kept with him. When his children were all thirteen turns of age Calco shared the name of the mother of that child and what he remembered of her. Having the great memory that Zacaf inherited this was fairly detailed.
Zacaf and Balcin therefore grew up on and round ships and sailing. It is no
surprise that both of them gained a love of both and always accompanied
Calco on his missions from port to port. He owned a merchant vessel and
depending on the season and market demand carried a variety of materials
across Pernese waters.
Both boys grew up the best of friends and were appenticed into the Seacraft
Hall at twelve and thirteen Turns. Zacaf progressed rapidly through his
apprenticehood and graduated as a Journeyman Sailor at twenty turns. While he was celebrating with his brother, who graduated a year later, he was Searched as a Candadate for Coral Reef Weyr. This was something of a surprise to him as being a
dragonrider was the farthest thing from what he saw himself being. After
some thought however, Zacaf decided that being a dragonrider might be a good
adventure.
Although at the age limit of Impressing, Z'af did Impress. A gigantic blue by the name of Samiath.
Description of Dragon:
Samiath must be the largest blue ever hatched on Pern. An overly inquisitive dragon, Samiath _must_ know the why's and what's of everything that catches his attention. His appetite is voracious and Z'af wonders if Sam's appetite and growing will ever stop. A roundness to his appearance gives Samiath the look of dependability, stability and likability. His happy and inquisitive personality makes friends quickly and keeps Z'af on his toes with men and women alike.
Attached NPCs: Balcin - 20 turns old - a Journeyman Sailor and younger brother (just graduated)
