Wingrider M'bai on Brown Srinath

Player Name: Fox Treymayne

Character Name: M’bai
Age: 57 (6.02)
Rank: Wingrider

Description: 6’1” tall. His hair is light brown peppered with grey that he keeps cropped close, maybe ¼ of an inch long. He has a smiling kind of face with deep crow’s feet around his very bright green eyes and smile lines framing his mouth. He has a small silver stud in his right nostril he had pierced when he graduated from Weyrling Training.

Personality: He tends to be relaxed and friendly. He is overly trusting and rarely confrontational. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. He enjoys joking, sometimes not too gently, and has insulted people without intending to, which he usually apologizes for or teases them for being too touchy. He has settled into Weyr life and enjoys it like no other. He likes to fly drills, likes to fly Fall, and likes for Srinath to fly females…

Gender/sexual preference: Male, mostly heterosexual

History:
Membai was born and raised in High Reaches. His mother was a Master Weaver who wasn’t interested in raising a child, so she fostered him carefully to a large family of many fostered children. She visited occasionally to check on her only son to see him grow fast and strong. Her visits often brought gifts and marks, so he was never for want. When he turned twelve he joined a group of many youths who made a pilgrimage to High Reaches Weyr to find occupation and a future. He spent four years working in the firestone quarry, getting to know the riders, and generally enjoying life. When he was Searched, he stood with the other candidates twice before Srinath nearly mauled him in his exuberance.
Weyrling training was indeed eventful. M’bai was cited three times for sexual conduct early on, and twice for trying to fly before they were deemed ready by the Weyrling Master. Luckily for both his brown and him, no harm was done and they graduated only a few months late. After serving for years in a wing they were promoted to Wingleaders. Their laid-back attitude was liked by most but some riders complained to no end that he appeared to not care, and then disciplined riders harshly for not appearing for drills or tardiness. He was moved to Weyrling Master instead for several turns until a wing that would be able to appreciate his…style of leading. He was replaced as Wingleader and did a commendable job until he was promoted to Weyrleader for a turn when Srinath caught the Junior Gold and the Weyrleader himself passed away due to heart failure.
Srinath had been working the Senior Gold to try to keep them in the leadership when M’bai was diagnosed with lung difficulty. The healers stressed that if he did not move South where the air would be moister during the winter, he would have to be weyr bound for the worst of the cold weather, which was common in High Reaches. To spite them he picked the colder of the Southern Weyrs, Mountain Song, and left Weyrleadership to be determined by the Senior Gold’s impending flight.

Pets:
Akimbo
Blue flit
Description: Small for a blue. Blackish-blue all over. He was from a green clutch found by a Searchrider and lost to M’bai in a card game.

Dragonrider: Yes or no.
Dragon Name: Srinath
Dragon Color: Brown
Dragon Age: 40
Dragon Description: Average sized for a brown, slightly lean, narrow body type. He is light brown heavily peppered with blue. It was this characteristic that made many people, and possibly, the gold, underestimate him in the mating flight that won them the Weyrleadership.

Dragon Personality: Laid back like his rider. He likes to pester other dragons and tends to be considered annoying by other males.

Strength's Weaknesses: He takes his work seriously (probably the only thing) but doesn’t always have the agility needed to dodge Fall. He has gotten hurt several times as a result.
