Dragon Color: Blue Dragon Name: Rindoralth Dragon Age: 0
Brief Description of Persona:
E'lar stands 5' 7" and hopes to grow a tad more. A solid 155 pounds, he has lost his "baby fat" and is developing trim, strong muscles thanks to the never-ending work required to maintain a small beastcraft hold. Dark brown, slightly wavy hair frames a face which will be called "ruggedly handsome" when he is mature, but is called "pleasant" in a
youth his age.
His hazel eyes can appear either dark blue or light brown
depending on what he wears and his surroundings. He has a winning smile which, when it becomes a grin, displays strong, white, even teeth with, unfortunately, part of one lower front tooth missing as a result of an uncooperative heardbeast. His hands are broad with long fingers and heavily calloused. He usually walks with slow, deliberate steps due to his Turns of working among the herd.
E'lar is a well adjusted lad, although
somewhat shy around strangers. The oldest child, he loves his parents and his three younger sisters. The fact he is the only boy in the family, and has to help his father maintain the small hold, which has delayed his going to the Beastcraft Hall to advance in his Craft has not caused any resentment...even at his age he subscribes to the attitude that if he is patient and does his best at whatever life hands him things will be for the best. He gets along well with other youth, always fitting in as a convivial type, never as a leader, however.
A somewhat quiet, easy going, but hard working type, Eolar pleases all but impresses none.
Brief History of Persona:
The firstborn of a Journeyman Beastcrafter father and a former drudge mother, Eolar has known quiet but sincere love all his life. From the time he could walk his father started training him to some day enter the Beastcraft. Growing up on a small hold dedicated to raising herdbeasts, he
learned loyalty - to his family, to his father's Craft, to Black Rock Hold (of which the small hold was a fringe part).
Each time it seemed he could be sent to the Beastcraft Hall something happened...an injury to his father, illness of someone in the family, damages to the hold caused by Southern's sometimes violent climate. Eolar met each delay with acceptance, convinced that eventually he would have the opportunity to advance beyond the apprenticeship
which his father, as a Journeyman, could not exceed. Like any youth, he sometimes thought about the dragons of Pern and being one with them, but he never dwelled on such thoughts. After all, the hold required his attention, and sooner or later, the Craft.
Then came that day...a green dragon landing at the hold...the rider saying he had been Searched...the most traumatic day of Eolar's young life. His initial reluctance to believe was swept away by his parents'
estatic reaction. Not just his mother, but his father wept openly with joy, their obvious pride overcoming his doubts about leaving. So Eolar left the hold, knowing that despite the loss of his labor perhaps the hold would would prosper nonetheless, perhaps he would become one of those who made labor, and prosperity, possible. When he stood on the sands for his first Hatching, Eolar became E'lar when he impressed blue Rindoralth
