Candidate Zier

[raii]

| - Human Bio - |

Name: Zier
Turns: 15 Turns
Gender: Male
Rank: Candidate
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Weyrmate: N/A

Appearance: Beautiful. Stunning. Intimidating. He has an intense stare of piercing green eyes, a face that rarely smiles, and pure black hair. His hair is long for a Weyrbred male, though nothing he would have to cut if he Impressed. The only thing marring his face is a long white scar over his pale cheek. This is, coincidentally, the side of his face that his hair is swept over rebellious fashion. Passive-aggressive, perhaps. He wears the same clothes as everyone else, but his hair is his only visible teenage rebellion.

His body is lean, but rather short. He stands at only 5’4”, while most young men his age are about 5’10”. It is not a horrible flaw, but it makes him seem younger than he is. He is surprisingly strong. While his muscle mass is not as obvious as others, not an inch of his body is wasted. He is strong, of course, but not the strongest. If he decided to exercise, there is a chance he could be.

Personality: Zier is a rather quiet boy, preferring solitude over all forms of human interaction. Fire lizard interaction (as he knows it from Dwarf, anyways) is welcome. He is the intelligent and thoughtful type, spending most of his time daydreaming, lost in his overactive imagination. Although he is incredibly insightful and able to read emotions effortlessly, he is quite unsympathetic. In fact, he can seem coldhearted as he simply does not care in most cases. This detached apathy can make him seem bored with others’ “petty” problems. In fact, he is. Also judgmental (but privately so), he is not the person to speak to about personal issues.

As a hardcore pessimist, the glass is not half empty, it’s mostly empty. He sees himself as a realist. It is a strange quality for someone so well-trained in the art of healing. In fact, he is quite good at it, thanks to his mother’s patience. Unfortunately, this patience did not carry over to him. However, he does have quite gentle hands. His personality, however, seems rough, even arrogant. He seems to lack all social skills. When it comes to himself, he is careful and wise, deftly keeping himself from vulnerability. Staying true to his emotionless exterior, he rarely gets angry. He is, however, easily annoyed, blunt, stubborn, rough, and coarse. Somehow, he manages to be pushy when he must without compromising his apathy.

His core personality is melancholy, perhaps even morose. He does seem to be quite interested in death. Part of it is a questioning philosophy (Why do people die? How can people be living and breathing one second and gone the next? Why? How?) and partially an undying curiosity. His innermost fear is rejection, especially from girls. He likes girls. A lot. Too bad they never feel the same way. He craves them, needs them, thinks constantly about them. He has many short, unrequited infatuations. As a result of this obsession with girls, he absolutely hates other boys. He also hates children, whiny people, and all other overly loud things. Basically, if it disrupts his precious peace, quiet, or solitude, he hates it.


History: Zier was born to a healer mother and a tanner father in Sea Spray Hold. Both parents taught the children their trades. The oldest one, Derne, as well as the youngest, Zier himself, were best at healing. Their brother Sorkais was an accomplished tanner, and therefore closer to his father. Zier was always a mother’s boy. He loved his mother, but she, ironically, often fell ill. She lacked the immunities that most were born with. He never wanted to leave home.

Once, he rescued an old feline from a potentially fatal wound. Although well-raised, the boy was almost a complete loner. His family allowed him to keep the pet. He did love pets. He named this feline Dochi, but Dochi died a year or so later from old age. The boy was heartbroken. His mother gave him a fire lizard egg to help ease the pain. Dwarf, the tiny brown, was his mother’s last gift.

An illness killed her shortly after.

Their father became abusive in his sorrow. Even his beloved Sorkais couldn’t escape from all of his anger. Although Zier was hurt much worse than Sorkais, Derne received the worst of it. She was abused, and became a frightened, depressed girl. As Derne’s best friend and self-proclaimed director, Zier knew he had to do something. Anything. Firstly, he tried simply standing up to his father. He was beat within an inch of his life. Perhaps as a permanent memory of the humiliation, his father carved a scar into the youth’s cheek. In an angry, desperate plan, they fled, leaving their father behind, only to be caught by patrolling dragonriders. After they explained themselves, Derne and Zier were sent to Akum Weyr as candidates. 

Derne was a loner, but not by choice like her brother. She was frightened and afraid, clinging to her brother for protection. They both stood on the clutch of the two whites, but Derne was mauled. A particularly malicious hatchling had sensed her fear and slashed at her stomach. Her wound healed with imperfections and became infected. It seemed the girl inherited her mother’s poor health, because although she should have survived, she didn’t.

All Zier had left was Dwarf. He got over the pain by pretending she didn’t exist. Avoiding anything that reminded him of her helped him cope. Although he didn’t Impress, he swore to. He would Impress, and maybe be a candidate master. If he could teach candidates not to fear, maybe less would be mauled. But that future was still far off, so he pushed it from his mind.

Color Preferences: Eclipse/something male
Why you want the colors: 1. They are very pretty! :3
2. Zier would love a chance to ride anything that could potentially get him a girlfriend. What Impresses the ladies more than a unique male dragon? ^^
3. Uh, they are pretty?
Why you think you deserve the colors: Uh, ‘cause I’m awesome? I don’t know, I don’t think I deserve an Eclipse more than anyone else might. Still, I’d love to have one, but I’d be happy if he’s on a male. Well, I’d be happy with him on a female too, but I just can’t see him on one.
Stands/Sands: Sands
Mutations: Mutations are always fun!
Injuries: Up to you, I have no preference.

| - Pet Information - |

Name: Dwarf
Turns: 2 Turns
Species: Fire lizard

Appearance: Dwarf’s coloring is interesting to say the least. The shade itself looks to be a light, slightly red-tinted brown. In fact, it seems to be a shade a bronze might have! Any thought that he might just be a puny bronze is immediately dismissed. He is most certainly brown, lacking any and all metallic sheen. He even seems to lack a fire lizard’s natural shine after being oiled. The coloring is lovely and bronze-like, but there is absolutely no substance to it whatsoever. As far as fire lizards go, he is quite the silly-looking one. He possesses rather large wings for his body, which give him an awkward walk. True to his name, he is tiny. 

Personality: He is a quiet, pensive creature. At his hatching, he was just as unruly as the others, but he was very impressionable. He quickly molded to his bonded’s mind, becoming a Zier copy. Needless to say, he adores Zier. Just like his, he seems to have acquired the habit of admiring females. As lonely as his, he spends most of his time with Zier. In the rare instance when he isn’t seen with Zier, he is getting something to eat or watching a pretty little goldie or a delicate little green with lonely eyes.  Yes, Zier’s fire lizard is a Zier clone.

Other: Brown (b95e1d)
