Dragon Name: Reaneth Dragon Color: Brown Dragon Age: 19
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.
