 Name: Dorame.
Age: Twenty-one. twenty-two
Sex: Female.
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual.
Craft: Assassin, though she says her craft is that of a Diplomat.
Rank: Journeymen.
Location: High Reaches.
Physical Description: Dorame is slender and stands at 5’2 Her skin is a cool toned, ashen-brown colour. Her hair is waist length, dark brown at the roots that is lighter on the ends due to bleaching in the sun. She usually wears it braided; either lose over her shoulder are pinned tightly to her head when it needs to be out the way. Her eyes are a mossy green colour, and she usually tries to wear fabrics that compliment the colour whenever possible.
Personality: Dorame is a painfully charming young lady who radiates all the etiquette and confidence that comes with prestige and wealth. She knows how to string a sentence together, play the game of politics, be manipulative if needs be. Though she is not naive or deluded, knowing as a candidate she is very low down the food chain, she has adapted to hide her breeding; instead trying to make fresh connections than rely on her old title. Her main priority is to make a name for herself, advance her standing, and return to the social standing and respect she once had.
Organised, a good student and hard worker. Her drive to progress and succeed is admirable. More so the passion, confidence and assertiveness she shows when pursuing her ambitions does not go unnoticed. She has a good head on her shoulders, adapts well and is far from a pushover. Though on the flip slide her ‘subtle’ and ‘sneaky’ way of playing people and trying to ‘bend them to her will’; is not received positively by most. She has made friends, but hs made enemies too. At her core she is a selfish person, and her drive to succeed does not embody the good of all, but her own self worth. It is her priority, so being open, truthful intimate or sensitive are all very unnatural to her.
Dorame respects the structure of things, she follows orders, she will forge connections and be a team player. But all with the knowledge that she is doing these things so she can succeed and progress.
Positive Trait List Charismatic. Organised. Driven. Assertive.
Negative Trait List Manipulative. Cold. Resentful. Selfish.
History: Dorame was born into comfortable wealth as the third cousin to a Minor Lord (on her father's side). Her father, Gilbern was born with the opportunity to pursue education from a young age and dedicated his life to healing; in later life specialising in the care of the old (geriatric healer). He married young to a woman with money, Aurellia, who underwent the same medical training as he did in their twenties, but instead specialised in trauma healing. The home in which they keep is also the home to apprentices, two or three at a time, who help and serve the family in exchange for private education and tutorage in the medical field to go alongside their formal education.
Aurellia suffered an injury in her thirties that damaged the muscles in her hands, putting a tragic end to a career she had dedicated her life to. Gilbern’s wife slowly became consumed by vices and addiction, and in time she came to resent him for the success he found in his career. Though on the surface they presented as a good, happy couple, when behind the scenes things were falling apart. Gilbern had affairs with the apprentices that stayed with the family, Aurellia had affairs with the local upper class; and by some miracle the secret and shame was never made public.
That was until Gilbern sired a b*****d daughter, Dorame, dark skinned and brown haired; there was no hiding the fact she was not a result of her blonde haired parents marriage. The tipping point was when Gilbern announced her his heir. Aurellia left him to pursue a life with a minor lord, Gilbern himself remains unmarried. Dorame’s mother, unnamed, was only brought up on conversation once; and she has never pressed her father for information since. Dorame gained basic knowledge of healing from her father, but growing up prefered to embed herself in social circles and learn the subtleties of politics (to her father's dismay, as she began to show qualities of his ex-wife).
She was found on a search at sixteen. And when it was brought to her father's attention she had a choice, go out in the world and make something of herself on her own merit, or stay and be disinherited. Dorame chose to leave for the High Reaches. Five turns have passed since then and they have not talked since. And to spite him when she arrived at the High Reaches, started an apprenticeship to take on the role of a Diplomat and soon progressed in the ranks, not a healer as he wished. The last irony is that, as an assassin, she deals in ending life, where her father worked his whole life to save it.
Other: Thought Dorame is related to a minor lord, literally about six people need to die for her to get any kind of claim to a title. (She knows this because she has considered poisoning them all often, jokes.).

Blue HeichathWritten by Masterharper
Colored by Andranis
Origin of Name: Heichath is named after the Chinese specialty of fermentating and oxidiziation of the tea leaves, after they have been dried and rolled. Hēichá (literally, "black tea" ) is commonly translated as dark tea. This type of tea is different from what known as black tea in English, which in Chinese is called hóngchá (literally, "red tea" ). The best known variety of this category of dark tea is pu'er, named after the trading post for dark tea during imperial China.
Inspiration: Pu-Erh tea (also known as aged or vintage tea) is another of China's great treasures and has only recently been discovered in the West. It is unlike any other tea in the world but Westerners can appreciate its similarities to fine wine, with which it shares many attributes.
Like the great wine regions of the world, Pu-Erh Tea production is highly regulated to ensure the highest quality and authenticity. Only aged tea that comes from Yunnan province can be called Pu-Erh tea.
The history of Pu-Erh Tea can be traced back to “Pu Tea” of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 CE) with the drying of leaves in the sun in Yunnan province. The plants in this region have large, soft leaves spaced far apart on large, tough stems. Today, Pu-Erh Tea with “large wild leaves” is highly prized.
There is a long history of exporting compressed, aged green Pu-Erh Tea, dating back to the 7th century. Needing a tea that did not spoil on the trip, various fermentation methods and compressed shapes evolved to make transport easier. It was found that tea actually improved with age so warehousing became the practice.
Many Emperors drank Pu-Erh tea for longevity and especially liked the taste of the teas made with the finest tips. In the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911), Pu-Erh tea from Simao in Yunnan became a tribute tea by order of Yongzheng, the second Qing Emperor. In the tribute custom, tea regions were selected by the Emperor to produce tea to be offered as a gift to the royal court, which was a great honour and good for business. The last Qing Emperor Fu Yi (also known as Pu Yi) and the last emperor in China's history said “Drink Loong Jien (Dragon Well Green Tea) in summer and Pu-Erh in winter. Drinking Pu-Erh Tea is like being a member of the Royal Family".
Personality: Heichath is a shaker, a mover, and is certain he's destined to change the world. Apparently, he didn't get the memo that blues aren't meant to be in charge. Those who try to stop him, discourage him, or put him in his place, will find that Heichath simply won't listen. Short of his rider commanding him, or a gold, you better believe that this blue does what he wants.
Don't misunderstand him, though. Heichath is not a mean dragon, nor is he rude or nasty to those he stands up to. He isn't full of snark or bite; in fact, he is quite deboinair. If ever there were a refined blue, Heichath would be it. He's a dignified creature, who is open minded, good-hearted, and accepting of all types, not just those of a certain color or rank. He's also not the sort of flaunt himself in the face of those he so cleverly crushes with logic or common sense. Just because some out there want to fight dirty, doesn't mean he must continue to make a mess. No, when Heichath isn't fighting the good fight, and trying to work his way up the chain of command, he is a very smooth talker and full of manners and charm.
Ah, but Heichath is a political creature. He is too ambitious to sit back and simply accept what he's been given. If he winds up in Western, he will find himself in a perfect place to rise in power; if he winds up in High Reaches, he will fight that good fight, and try hard to show the Weyr that blues aren't meant to be taken lightly. He will cause a scene, and trouble, and unless his rider tries to clamp down on it, he will not hesitate to make waves. This could see him ousted, but he's not afraid of change. You can bet you bippy, Heichath will dig his claws in when he finds himself facing a mighty foe. Losing isn't something he's afraid of -- the louder he squawks, the more he'll get under their skin.
If his rider doesn't keep a firm grip on Heichath, he will cause trouble. Deep down, Heichath knows he's meant to be on top and in charge. He doesn't want to take orders from anyone -- including his fellow blues or greens. He wants to rein! He wants to be the one giving the orders, and by Faranth, one day he will. While he will make change for others, in his heart of hearts, Heichath knows he wants change so HE can be the one on top, so HE can rule them all. He is power hungry, even if he doesn't quite realize it; and even when he does, he'll simply hide that ugly side, and bury it.
For as good as Heichath is, there's also a bit of a monster lurking within.
Positive Traits: Ambitious, Fearless, Debonair
Negative Traits: Political, Insubordinate, Power Hungry
Adult Size: 33'
Physical Attributes: Heichath is big, bulky, and he's quite proud of that fact. He has big hands and feet, which isn't something he'll ever really grow into. That can give him a bit of an unfinished look, as if he was meant to be even larger.
Additional Notes: Heichath is an equal opportunity lover, so long as he's the one in charge. Color doesn't matter to him, though he will subconsciously look for those who are easier to mold to his wishes. He isn't a manipulator -- he just really, really, likes to be in charge.
Theme Song: Dark Horse by Katy Perry
The Yellow & Teal Egg A small egg up front.
Why Me? Oh, Dorame. Look at you. Look at what a boss you think you are! Don't worry, they'll get there. In fact, they are already well on their way, and nothing is going to stop that upward momentum, as far as Heichath is concerned. He is trouble through and through, and if there is anyone who can handle him, it is certainly Dorame. And they are not to be outclassed by a certain other Blue pair. As far as Heichath is concerned, there is no glass ceiling, and if there were... well, they'd shatter right through it.
