Rider S'dan on Blue Ausalyth

Player: Madeleine

Name: S'dan
Age: 22
Rank: Wingrider

Description: S'dan is short, about 5'7", with golden brown hair and very light brown, almost golden, eyes. He's of average build and weight. He has a very pale complexion and freckles easily.

Personality: S'dan is very easygoing and laid back. He always wears a goofy smile on his face. He takes a very lax attitude about most everything except his starsmithing and his family. He can also be very immature and innocent at times, and he is definitely not laid back about Rania.

Gender/Preference: Male, Bisexual

History: Sydan was born and raised at Morning Star Hold, in Southern Weyr territory. His father Gevizel is a Master Starsmith and teaches at 
the Starcraft hall there. His mother Shealey is a drudge, and his brothers and sisters - foster and birth - are scattered across the whole of Pern. His parents fostered five children along with the six they gave birth to. Sydan was never alone growing up, his sisters and brothers were always beside him. He was fourth naturally born. His foster siblings were all younger than he was. Sydan was opposed to having a large family at first, but he got over that and soon became the epitome of the protective older brother. He got into a couple fights in his early teens over his foster sisters. When he was old enough, he was sent as an apprentice to the Starsmith Hall. Gevizel arranged it so that he didn't teach his son, for fear of bias. Still, when Sydan walked the tables a bit earlier than normal, some other apprentices and journeymen whispered about favoritism. Sydan is now in his third year as a journeyman starsmith, and has been waiting for the time when he will be assigned elsewhere. For some reason his fellow journeymen have already gone away, when he has stayed at the Hall. The rumors about favoritism and his father got especially vicious up until he was Searched.

The junior gold's clutch contained some eggs that were small and perhaps not expected to live. The first one to hatch was, surprisingly, one of them. The undersized and unusual blue made a beeline for Sydan and declared his name to be Ausalyth. The unusual thing about the blue was that he had six toes instead of the usual five. Besides his size, though, nothing else was abnormal, and he looked to be a perfectly healthy blue.

During Weyrling training, S'dan met the Journeywoman Dragonhealer / Candidate Rania. He took an instant liking to her and made his feelings clear. Rania however, after her history of bad relationships, was nervous and skeptical about letting it go any further. Fortunately for her, they couldn't go further physically because of Weyrling rules. After several months, Rania grew restless, and got permission to go back North to visit friends and family. S'dan missed her terribly while he was gone, and moped endlessly until she came back.

When she returned, she talked with S'dan for a long time. She admitted her fears, and explained why, but agreed she was willing to try, because she definitely felt something for him. They kissed again, and S'dan couldn't have be happier.

Much to Rania's surprise, but not to S'dan's, after witnessing dozens of hatchings she Impressed Myrrnith, a green daughter from gold Zaurynth's first clutch. S'dan was delighted that Rania had Impressed, and eagerly awaited her graduation. Just before graduation, Rania was informed that she would be tranferring south as Mountain Song Weyr needed riders. Rania agreed and naturally S'dan wished to transfer with her. Because of paperwork and scheduling, Rania went down a few days earlier than S'dan. When he did arrive, he accidentally walked in on a rather racy conversation between Rania and her old friend Biaren - which was in reference to old times not anything current - and jumped to the wrong conclusion. A major fight ensued and Rania decided to give S'dan time to cool off and be mature. Once again S'dan was left aching for Rania, and not even Ausalyth could really cheer her up. When he tried to apologize, it didn't go over well, and they wound up breaking it off indefinitely. S'dan is trying to leave her behind without much success.

Dragon Name: Ausalyth
Color: Blue
Age: 2

Dragon Description: Ausalyth is a small blue and will probably never be the size of the other blues at the Weyr. He has six toes on his front paws and five on his back. His hide is a deep, rich blue.
Dragon Personality: Ausalyth is emotional and tends to swing from happy to sad quite fast. He's full of energy like any other dragonet, and tends to bounce rather than walk.
Strength's Weaknesses: His small size gives him more agility and speed, while severely cutting down on the amount of time he can stand to be in 
the air. He's not much better than the greens.
