Welcome to Akum Weyr, a Semi-Canon DRoP RPG. New faces are always welcome and much appreciated. Akum is situated on the Southern Continent near the ocean.
We are in current need of more Blue and Greenriders. Candidates are also needed for White Hopeth's clutch.
If you want to make a rider, please check the Statistics board to see if any are available. Transfers are allowed, but please do not make a lot. There is a reason why the Weyrlings were the only ones left alive besides their WeyrlingMaster.

This is a roleplay based in the Pern universe, but I don't claim any rights to anything that Anne McCaffrey has created. I am just using her wonderful world to make a fun roleplay! xD
Appearance: K'in is a nicely built man, standing at 6'0" and weighing a estimated 223lbs, K'in is more on the tall side and on the muscular side as well. Though K'in has a lot of muscle on him, it does not show much outwardly unless you take off all of this clothing. K'in often has a very stern look, do to his position, but that doesn't stop him from smiling and looking content on occasions.
K'in's black hair was once considered a little to long for his own good, but after he became a rider, he was forced to cut it to about shoulder length and he has keep it at the length since then. Though his hair is normally nice and straight, K'in's hair seemed to get a little natural curl when he cute it, but he doesn't find it unattractive. His eyes, which are a deep blue, often show his understanding and care for others, but they have also been known to show his great temper as well.
K'in is not big on the whole fashion seen. As long as he is comfortable, nothing else really seems to matter. He doesn't like the richness of jewels, and other such things, seeing as he sees them as being only material and he does not revolve his life around material needs.
Personality: K'in is well known for his strong will and out standing leadership skills. Stern yet kind at the same time, K'in handles every situation he comes upon with a cool head and a stead fast determination to resolve any issues he may stumble upon. Putting the weyr, the holds, and their people before him in all aspects, K'in will do anything to insure the safety of all of the people under his care even going as far as sacrificing his own safety for another. It is said that he would go as far as sacrificing his own life to save those he feels are strictly under his protection.
Though he seems to be a very nice guy thus far, K'in has been known to lose his temper at time as well. After all, he is only human. The quickest way to get on his nerves though, is to threaten though he protects or prevent him from doing what needs to be done for the Weyr and its holds. Though this has only happened very few times, people have learned not to get on K'in's bad side.
Now that I am done with the serious side of K'in, it's time to mention his fun and some what sporadic side. Know for his interesting sense of humor and even more interesting acts of momentary stupidity, K'in tends to crack joke at the most unexpected times, usually to settle tension. Though many of these joke are not funny in the least, he tells them in a way and at a time that would make anyone laugh in amusement or surprise.
History: Born in Splinter Wood Hold, K'in was believed to be the son of a woodcrafter and the Hold's chief cook, but he was also believe to be the bastard son of the lord holder by some as well. Raised with the knowledge that the person he called father, may not be so, didn't seem to faze him though. He loved his family more then anything else and didn't even seem to mind the teasing the rumor seemed to cause.
Growing up in a hold that Tithed to Akum Weyr was not a easy life for many now that the unknown plague was running through it, killing off all the winged beasts including the few Fire-Birds Splinter Wood Hold had under it's leash. A great fear ran through the hold as stories of dragon deaths and Fire-Bird deaths in every part of the weyr reached the hold's ears. But being K'in, he took it all calmly and did what was needed of him for the hold.
As he grew up, he worked hard, and he got everything he has with hard work. Sometimes life was unbelievably hard for him, but he didn't let that get him down. He knew that if he let himself and his hold give up hope that they would all die, so he stood strongly on the belief that everything would be alright and encouraged others in Splinter Wood to do the same.
When the searchriders came to Splinter Wood Hold, he was busy working on fixing one of the many broken items in the hold. This time it was a door, when the dragons head swung through the window and stared straight at him. He was startled to all hell, but the blue dragon told him he was chosen for a candidate and thus he left the hold to become a dragon rider of Akum Weyr.
On arriving at the weyr, he started to work hard, like any other Candidate to reach his goal of becoming a dragon rider and gaining the ability to protect the people of the weyr. It was not long after he got searched that Myndith, the aging queen dragon, clutched and produced a clutch of 21 eggs. After this, Myndith took to the plague and /betweened/. Though the weyr was saddened by the death of the queen dragon, a new hope was born in the new queen egg that lay upon the sands along with it's 20 brothers and sisters.
When the day of the hatching finally came and the candidates went to the sands to be chosen. He thought he was going to be left on the sands, because as the hatching went on... Nothing impressed to him. He felt his heart fall, and thats when Tarnith came to him, and he impressed. K'in was over overjoyed when the bronze came to him and chose him and together they worked to become strong to protect the Weyr and holds of Akum.
His happiness did not last long though, not long after the hatching signs of thread fall filled the sky and it was obvious that the young dragons and riders were not ready to fight the threat that had fallen upon them. Doing the only thing the weyr could, K'in watched as the last Wing of Akum took flight and feeling completely helpless. To his and the Weyrfolks great horror, it did not take long for the last wing to fell under the storm of thread. But not even then did K'in give up hope that they would live and he was right for when all seemed lost. A large, dragon sized Fire-Bird flew through the air and absorbed the thread that fell.
After the threat of thread was decimated, K'in watched with the others as the white took to the sands and left a enormous clutch of 50 eggs upon the sands, then it took flight and Ashed before their eyes.

Name: Tarnith Turns: 2 Color: Bronze
Appearance: Being one of the larger bronzes in pernese history, Tarnith is also known for his muscular body and bulky form. Do the muscles that course through his body, Tarnith is able to take long flights without rest. Though he does have a high amount of stamina, like most large dragons, he needs more nutrition then most. Tarnith also has a large scar across his right shoulder which was gotten when he was a dragonete. This scar was bestowed upon him by one of his brown hatchling brothers.
Personality: Tarnith is a very interesting dragon to say the least. Being much like his rider in many ways, Tarnith shares his riders determination and his will to protect the people of the weyr. Though Tarnith is like his rider, he doesn't seem to have a serious bone in his over sized body, unless things get really heated up that is. Tarnith is said to be care-free and very outgoing, but he also has a grander temper then his rider.
