Pet Kind: Gold Firelizard Pet Name: Chit Pet Age: 1.5
Craft: Smith Craft Rank: Sr. Apprentice
Brief Description of Persona:
M'nek is your stereotypical bronzerider in looks. Tall, muscular, tanned, rugged good looks, boyish charm. He stands at 6'2", has dishwater blond hair, vibrant green eyes, a warm, friendly smile, and is considered extremely handsome.
He's outgoing, charming, loves to laugh and joke, and puts on a 'everything's fine I'm doing wonderfully' persona to everyone he meets. An extremely few number of people are ever allowed close enough to him to get to know the man behind the mask. The quiet, introspective man given to mood swings, worrying, and wondering if he'll ever measure up to his father's expectations.
Brief History of Persona:
M'nek, born Medrenek, is the son of a gold/bronze mating flight. His mother was Sr. Weyrwoman for 20 turns, and his father was (and still is) Weyrleader at South Face Weyrhold. His mother slipped and fell down a flight of stairs, causing a concussion which placed her a deep coma. When she finally came out of it, she was paralyzed from the waist down. Her queen, stayed by her side until Dreneka finally died of complications. Medrenek was 8 turns old. For the next five turns, his father brooded, becoming a dark, forboding man. The light smile left his face, and he rarely ever spoke except to tell Medrenek how much his mother had hoped for him to impress a bronze and become the best Weyrleader in all of Pern's history some day... so that's what drives him. His need to be the best. He impressed bronze Paweth in his thirteenth turn.
Brief Description of Dragon:
Paweth is a very handsome bronze, stronge, viril, much sought after by the greens and golds. He has a dry wit, and keeps M'nek from sinking too deeply into himself.
Brief Description of Pet:
Chit was a present from M'res (M'nek's father) on M'nek's 17th birthingday. She is quite a bossy little thing, and is even so bold as to tell Paweth what to do... or so he says. M'nek simply knows she chatters and acts domineering to nearly everyone she meets, even him.
