Brief Description of Persona:

  • H'kai stands at a height of 5'11" and weighs in at 165 lbs with a lean body frame that is well toned from turns of riding. He has black hair with the beginnings of grey splashed in, with greyish green eyes, and light tan skin.
  • H'kai upon first glance would be someone others would take as mellow and calm in all circumstances, which he is when dragons and dragonhealing are involved. There won't be a more stable mind than his around when dragon emergencies occur.

    He's a strict task master and when the lives of others is involved, he expects nothing less than the absolute best from those around him and will often, should anyone do less than their best, be the first to let them know about it. He's not sharp or degrading by any means, but mess up something and it hurts a dragon and he's going to be the first one knocking at the responsible person's weyr.

    But, when dragons and their injuries are not involved, H'kai loves to relax and be around others. He's a very cheerful man and loves to socialize and can be seen with other members of the weyr having a social glass of wine with them, wishing them and their dragons and families alike good health. Yet he does have parts of his past that make him also drink alone and quietly, reflecting upon everything that happened before hand...

    Brief History of Persona:

  • Hakkai was born a weyrbrat in Ista weyr to a proud blue and green rider parents, who even though they agreed to foster their son, both parents made attempts to be apart of their son's life. As Hakkai grew older and reached the age of apprenticehood, Hakkai's interest in dragons landed him as a apprentice in the craft of dragonhealing. He excelled at the dragonhealer's craft.

    But this wasn't to be. While observing a hatching on the Ista hatching ground sands, a large brown hatchling shattered his egg shell and refused all the other boys on the sands and turned to the lower stands where Hakkai was sitting and the moment their eyes locked, Hakkai became H'kai, rider of brown Reaneth. Also on that same day of impression, H'kai caught sight of the another love of his life, Morias and her green, Celteth.

    It was inevitable that H'kai and Morias would become weyrmates as they came through weyrlinghood together and Morias was there for H'kai as H'kai finished his apprenticehood and walked the tables to becoming a journeyman dragonhealer. Thewere strongly bonded and remained together for fifteen turns, H'kai having a son by means of Morias, but tragedy soon struck the new parents with the return of thread son after H'kai achieved his mastery at the age of thirty turns.

    During Threadfall, Morias and Celteth were severly injured during fall. They were able to return to the weyr, but despite H'kai's best efforts to save his weyrmate and her dragon, Morias died and Celteth went between, morning the loss of her rider and leaving a devestated H'kai behind.

    Shattered emotionally by the bedside where his weyrmate had died, H'kai blamed himself and vowed he would not fail Reaneth as he had Celteth and Morias. Or any other dragonrider and their dragon as far as that goes. He resumed his craft with increased intensity and for the past four turns of Threadfall, H'kai has done his best for his craft and the dragons he has devoted himself to. However he has grown tired of Ista and all the terrible memories that linger there of his Morias and Celteth and has learned that another weyr to the south called Dawning Light has a opening for a dragonhealer of his caliber and has decided to head south, away from all the memories of his past and try and forge ahead into another life...

    Description of Dragon:

  • Reaneth is a behemoth of a brown dragon. He's impressively one of the largest brown dragons on Pern. He is sleek and gleams from health and care from H'kai. He is a very dark brown in coloring with the shade lightening to a more tan around his back legs, under his wings and belly, and tail tip.

    But like his rider, Reaneth is a serious brown, but unlike his rider who blames himself for the death of Celteth, he blames Thread. Whenever they fly Thread, Reaneth often expresses his rage over the loss of Celteth by means of a loud, often startling roar and by flying protectively of all other dragons around him. If he believes another dragon is in danger of being harmed by Thread and he can flame it before it can do any harm, then he will do it.

    Once Threadfall is taken out of the picture for Reaneth, he is a gentle brown who loves the company of other dragons and can be seen perched with whichever dragon will have him join them, whether they be gold, bronze, brown, blue or green, it makes little difference to him.

    Description of Pets:

  • Xeren is a sweetheart of a blue firelizard. He is about average in his size, and has a lovely dark sapphire coloring to him that lightens slightly around his belly, wings, and neck. He's sweet and very loving of his person and often the comic relief in H'kai's life. Xeren was a gift to H'kai from his wing when Morias died, part as a gift of sympathy and part as a means to find a way to cheer him up. Xeren does do that and is devoted to his person.
