Rider Jynnat's Personality

Growing up in High Reaches Weyr, Jynnat is well conversed in the weyr’s traditional philosophy. She agrees whole heartedly that golds and bronzes are meant to lead, and the chromatics are the followers and grunt work. The young woman fits right in well with strict rules and established authority. Some may say that she takes it a bit too far; Jynnat doesn’t understand looser structures and how they can survive at all. She doesn’t want to learn. If anyone brings it up she can be very narrow-minded at trying to understand another method than her own.

She is very smug that the other weyrs have to come to High Reaches to learn to fight thread again. However, she doesn’t much like the crowding. If lives and land weren’t at stake, she’d say let them learn through their own trial and errors as they were too stupid to keep up their training. She doesn’t think much of others visiting from other weyrs, and may offer a snub if the opportunity presents itself.

Jynnat is a smart woman, a very smart woman. Patterns are easy for her to trace and follow. Numbers are a breeze as well. She uses her intellect to be very calculating, looking for the greatest possible gain for the least amount of work. Her final goal ideally would be somebody important, although she’d settle for half way up the ladder if she had to. It would be utter humiliation to be the bottom of the bottom. To prevent this she believes having friends in high places won’t hurt. When she exerts herself, Jynnat can be very winning. She excels in debates and trying to argue her case or whatever viewpoint she supports.

She can be a little faithless, and she’s not above stretching the truth. Most of the time they are just little lies. Every once in a while she might dig herself a bit deeper. There’s no problem if she doesn’t get caught. Of course, when she does then she has to take whatever punishment comes if she can’t talk herself of out. Other than that, she’s a very easy going woman; one ready to have a good time as a dragonrider. As her time as a candidate grows shorter and shorter, Jynnat is looking for a boyfriend, or maybe a few. If she can't be a dragonrider herself, being the woman of one might be the next best thing.

Rider Jynnat's History

Jynnat was born at High Reaches Weyr. She spent most of her time among the kids at the cretches and never really interacted with her parents that she knew of. That was ok as she adopted the cretch workers as her parents and the other kids were part of her family. She was a bright child and had an aptitude for learning, thus she followed the adults around when she could or wasn't distracted by playing with the other children. When she was about 4-5 Turns, while following the adults around, Jynnat noticed that they didn't always say what they meant. In fact, she noticed that they sometimes said the exact opposite to someone when when that other person wasn't around. It confused her mightily at first, but then she figured it out. It was ok to say one thing to keep a person happy, but say what you really thought about them to someone else.

At the cretch Jynnat met her friend Reenav. She played with him often until she learned about lying. The young child couldn't understand when he got mad at her for saying one thing to him and another to another child. Their friendship soured, but they still talked on occasion. As she grew she learned more rules and generally adapted well to them, however she is still prone to telling false.

When she was 13 Turns, Jynnat was involved in quite the lie. There was a clutch due to hatch that she wanted to stand for. She couldn't understand why they would deny her before being a Turn too young. So she tried to lie to the candidatemaster about her age when the humming started; hoping to be allowed onto the Sands. Unluckily for her the candidatemaster knew how old she really was and turned her away. Her punishment for trying to get onto the sands was severe, but didn't daunt her. They held her from Standing until she turned 15. She had to sit in the stands for any clutch during that time and she wished fervently that her dragon would come to her. Sadly she was never picked.

Jynnat was 17 and had been Standing for two turns. Being young, she had a boyfriend but wisely didn't indulge in anything that would stop her from being a candidate. She found out that her boyfriend was two-timing it with a rider while telling her that he was completely faithful to her. It hurt that someone would lie to her. Jynnat decided to take drastic measures. If he could do it, so can she. Of course she wouldn't have physical relations with a guy, but could have several she called her boyfriends.

More turns passed and she remained standing on the sands while hatchlings impressed around her. Now at 21, her old friend Reevan started to join her on the sands. At first she teased him for waiting so long to get his rump in gear. It didn't help that she still hadn't impressed despite her many turns of trying. Jynnat wondered if perhaps she would be in danger of aging out. It still seemed so far away. Looking back it was as though that thought had been a prophecy. Jynnat was only a turn away from aging out for good. Despite the worry about not becoming a dragonrider, she believed in being prepared.

The young woman checked out other crafts as a fall back just in case. She wasn't happy about having to do this as she'd thought she'd have been a dragonrider by now. Still she bit her lip and went through with it. In the end she settled on being a feline trainer. In her spare time, she started hanging out with other trainers to get in with the group. Now that she's close to aging out, she's looking for a serious relationship. If she can't be a dragonrider herself, perhaps being the woman of one would be the next best step.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jynnat took a nasty threadscore to her shoulder and arm. It took a sevenday to heal and left ugly scars.

Rider Jynnat's Dragon
Blue Begath

User Image

JrW, SrW, Adult
Age: 4 Turns

Origin of Name: In French Le Bateleur, "the mountebank" or the "sleight of hand artist", is a practitioner of stage magic. The Italian tradition calls him Il Bagatto or Il Bagatello, and he is also known as Bégato in some regions.

User Image

Inspiration: Begath is based off of the Magician from the major arcana, which is the first card of the deck. In terms of the tarot card game, the Magician is the lowest ranking trump card, but still worth a large number of points—and it can be used as a wild card to fill out larger combinations! Add to that that in some regions, playing the Magician as the final trick awards even more points, and well...just because it's the lowest trump doesn't mean that it's the least of anything!

The Magician itself was actually originally a street performer, a master of sleight of hand, and an artisan, though the symbolism developed to point to more mystical meanings later. In different versions of the card the Magician has an infinity symbol over his head, and in others his hat's brim takes the same shape. He holds the staff, or wand, and signs of the other suits (cups, coins, and swords) are also present. Eternity, a wealth of tools, and flowers to show the manifestation of desires—the Magician is a card that knows what it wants and works to make it happen with the tools it has.

Personality: Begath knows what he's doing. He has more confidence and ambition than some bronzes, and huge dreams for the future for himself and his rider. Add to that that he's clever even as a youngster, and naturally skilled at almost anything he puts his mind too, and look out! He's flexible enough to think on the fly and to change tactics when what he's doing isn't working, and sometimes all his rider will be able to do is hang on for the ride.

But sometimes when you fly too close to the sun, you burn off your wings. The downside of a lightning-quick mind and a huge imagination is that sometimes he bites off more than he can chew. Plans can easily spiral out of control and go from detailed to overly intricate and bogged down with too many parts to possibly pull off. With such a high opinion of himself this can lead to him crashing and burning when he refuses to give up on these overdone dreams, or even trying to lie about it and hide that things have gone or are going terribly wrong, so his rider will have to be particularly on guard to keep him either from getting in too deep or to help pull him back out of trouble again.

And sometimes he never manages to get started on his ideas either. Imagining all the great things that he's sure will happen if he does this or that paints such a tantalizing picture...Once he gets going he can't be stopped, but now and then he might need a little nudge to be reminded to get off the starting line too.

Positive Traits: Confident, adroit, creative.
Negative Traits: Superfluous, duplicitous, overly fanciful to the point of self-sabotage.

Adult Size: 56' (28')
Physical Attributes: Begath is a long, sleek dragon, almost serpentine in build. His slender structure makes him seem longer than he is, and his lengthy legs gives him a smooth, almost gliding gait on land. His wings lack some of the depth of others, but are similarly long for his size. His neck ridges are markedly small and somewhat unpronounced, which adds to his streamlined look, but at the cost of making it somewhat more difficult to get his riding straps to stay fixed in place.

Additional Notes: Begath is a showoff in flights when he opts to chase. Naturally swift and agile, he likes to add twirls and flair to his maneuvers, and depending on the lady in question it can win or lose him the flight. With his great imagination he can easily picture himself 'with' any dragon, and his rider with any other person in the weyr, which does make him seem fickle in love (and a handful for his rider, who is apt to be match-made for!) and unapologetic for leaving a green he's just caught the day before to go after another. His theme song is Lucky Day by Hunter Hunted.

Why Me? Begath has no compunction against spinning the truth to suit himself, and that's something that Jynnat will join him in. They also share a profound desire to rise to the top. As Begath chases his dreams and flies higher and higher, Jynnat can meet him beat for beat. Her calculating, charming ways fit his own like a glove. There could never be anyone for Begath but her, for she is as limitless as he. He has a deep enjoyment of her unabashed intelligence. She stood out like a bright, shining beacon amid the Candidates, and he's ever so pleased to have gotten one over on his siblings in Impressing to her. Naturally she ought to feel more than honored for the privilege of being his rider. He needs her help making those dreams become a reality.

Rinis' Personality

Rinis is perfectly happy with the status-quo. Some may call her an airhead, and unaware of possible dangers. She tends to be complacent about most things unless something truly jolts her. To her, things are ok as they are. Why change it? Rinis will change if a suitable, reasonable explanation is put forward. “Because I said so,” will never fly well with her as a reason. She’s your typical ordinary kind of girl. A pretty dress here, a small trinket there and she’s a happy girl. Her favorite scent is lavender. Rinis has the goal to become a dragonrider, but failing that she thinks she’d like to become a firelizard breeder. They are just so cute!

Where is a girl supposed to wear her fancy dresses and pretty trinkets? Rinis loves to attend parties or any gathering really. She’s very much a social butterfly, but is less concerned with her standing. Parties are just fun. Plus there’s food and dancing! Particularly the dancing. Rinis will dance as long as there is music to dance too. Sometimes even when there’s not any music.

Regardless of her care-free attitude, she is quite conscientious about her tasks and jobs as a candidate. It will apply even later in life. Even if she doesn’t particularly care for a job she’ll show great care and attention to see it through to its end. Rinis tends toward wanting what’s best for everyone. She feels she must help, advise, and protect everyone she knows. Often people don’t appreciate her efforts to look out for them and tell them what’s best for them. When she thinks they are doing just fine on their own though she can become gushingly complimentary. To an embarrassing point even. She just doesn’t realize when to shut up.

One point she has trouble being lyrical is when there are metallic riders around; particularly bad around bronze riders. She simply feels completely inhibited by their presence, and she has no reason why. If it was anyone else, she’d advise them to simply get over it. Metallic riders are people too. But she can’t, so struggles whenever they are around and she knows it.

Rinis struggles with the knowledge that thread is falling again. It’s hard to believe it’s started to fall again, yet she believes the riders who say it is falling again. For her it particularly hits home when some come back threadscored. She doesn’t fully appreciate the drills and other training that has been implemented due to the return of the menace.

Rinis' History

It all started when a blue rider from High Reaches Weyr was sent to Western. As it happened that day, one of the young greens decided to rise and his blue fancied a chase. The blue succeeded in capturing the green, and his rider had a fine time with the green’s rider. He completed his mission and returned to his comfortably structured home.

Many months later his blue passed him a message from the rider of the green he’d caught. She was bearing their child. He was torn, but in the end asked permission to transfer to Western. The permission was merely a courtesy to his weyr as he intended to go either way.

Rinis was born exactly nine months after her mother’s green first flight. She lived happily with her parents during the nights and attended the cretch during the day while they were busy with their duties. In the cretch, she quickly met Cheora and became fast friends with the twin girl.

When she was 16, a couple of children were searched from a local seahold. She quickly attached to the happy boy. He was the perfect friend; going to attend social parties and dancing with her instead of being a stick in the mud. She was thrilled when he impressed to a sweet blue a Turn later. They still attend parties together even though he’d a rider now and she’s only a candidate.

She was sad when Cheora left to visit Fort to advance her dragonhealing studies and she remained as a candidate. It’s always a happy reunion when Cheora returns for a visit, particularly when there’s a hatching. Rinis has been influenced by her friend as she wants to become a firelizard breeder if she doesn’t impress. Her reasoning is that firelizards has similar ailments to dragons and what better than to have a friend who can help her with them and teach her.

Thread’s return has been particularly hard for her to accept. It was a deep shock to her system. More so has been the changes that have been occurring because of the resurgence.

Rinis' Dragon
Green Galensith
User Image

Hatchling, Weyrling, Adult
Written by magnadearel
Colored by demon_pachabel

Age: 2 Turns

Origin of Name: Galensith takes her name directly from part of the scientific name for the Leopard Cat, which is Prionailurus bengalensis.

Inspiration: Asian Spotted Leopard Cat

The leopard cat is the most widely distributed Asian small wild cat. Its range extends from the Amur region in the Russian Far East over the Korean Peninsula, China, Indochina, the Indian Subcontinent to northern Pakistan. It lives in tropical evergreen rainforests and plantations at sea level, in subtropical deciduous and coniferous forests in the foothills of the Himalayas at altitudes above 1,000 m (3,300 ft). It is able to tolerate human-modified landscapes with vegetation cover to some degree, and inhabits agriculturally used areas such as oil palm and sugar cane plantations

Historically, the leopard cat of continental Asia was considered the same species as the Sunda leopard cat. As of 2017, the latter is recognized as a distinct species, with the taxonomic name Prionailurus javanensis.

Leopard cat subspecies differ widely in fur colour, tail length, skull shape and size of carnassials. Archaeological evidence indicates that the leopard cat was the first cat species domesticated in Neolithic China about 5,000 years ago in Shaanxi and Henan Provinces.

A leopard cat is about the size of a domestic cat, but more slender, with longer legs and well-defined webs between its toes. Its small head is marked with two prominent dark stripes and a short and narrow white muzzle.

Leopard cats are solitary, except during breeding season. Some are active during the day, but most hunt at night, preferring to stalk murids, tree shrews and hares. They are agile climbers and quite arboreal in their habits. They rest in trees, but also hide in dense thorny undergrowth on the ground.

Personality: Galensith lives for social interactions. Her preference is for other dragons, but she enjoys the company of firelizards too, particularly those bonded to her rider. Even the odd human will do if no one else is available. It’s far too easy for this dragon to get lonely, and if that’s the case, she’ll go seek out new company.

For a dragon, Galensith is particularly chatty. She loves to talk. She loves to hear herself talk, and she’ll be known to carry on one-sided conversations with firelizards if there’s no one else around. If anyone even pretends to be listening, Galensith will be happy to talk their ear off.

All of her talking will lead to this green being unusually articulate. She’s very good with expressing her ideas, thoughts, and feelings to others. Galensith is always ready to pick up new words as well; which can sometimes be difficult when she’s the one always talking.

One thing this green Does Not Like is to be shushed or told to be quiet. Galensith will talk when she wants to talk! She gets irascible when someone tries to quiet her. It will be difficult for her to be silent and listen to others, particularly when someone is giving directions.

Galensith is a sweetheart. Some may say too sweet, she’ll give you a toothache. This green wants to be friends with everyone, even the grumpy ones. It is terminally hard to discourage this green. Galensith will always be willing to lend a wing to anyone, dragon, human, or flitter who needs one.

One of the few times Galensith isn’t talking is when she’s going to the extreme. This green is a definite adrenaline junkie. She loves to speed race or participate in extreme aerobatics. Once she starts flying, Galensith will be a terror in the skies. She is always looking for a bigger and better thrill.

Galensith is a goal getter. She sets her sights on her target and then does her best to reach it. She is a steady green, and even if it takes a while she still stay the course to see her goal completed. It can be tremendously difficult to call her off of a target and it will be up to her rider to get her to stand down when things start getting dangerous. She will push herself during threadfall and need to be reminded to rest every now and then.

When she is given a task, this green is very much an over-achiever. You want one hour flight training? She’ll give you two! Galensith always strives for 120% in whatever duties she’s given. This green will definitely give it her all to go above and beyond.

Positive Traits: Social, goal getter, articulate, sweet
Negative Traits: over-achiever, chatty, extreme, irascible

Adult Size: 40' (20’)
Physical Attributes: Galensith is a sleek green with long wings, great for aerial maneuverability. She does best with short bursts of high energy, as her stamina isn’t the best.

Additional Notes: She might flirt before or during flights, but there will only ever be one blue for her, Solouth. Belonging to L'saen, Rinis' weyrmate.

Mystery Egg 1: When touched, this egg is simply bursting with things to tell you, so you’d better listen!

Impression Effect: Rinis is going to find herself filled with new confidence. The inhibitions she felt around bronze and metallic riders will be washed away tenfold; and while she might find herself a little out of sorts around a particularly handsome one, for the most part, her confidence is going to better allow her to find her tongue.

Why Me? Galensith knew she’d found the perfect party match in Rinis. These two girls both share a love for parties and social get-togethers. While Rinis might find herself inarticulate at moments, Galensith can certainly more than make up for it. They both have a sense of duty, and Rinis will need to make sure Galensith doesn’t get carried away in hers. Galensith’s goal getting may rub off on the young woman and jolt her out of simply accepting the status-quo.
