Name: N’ori (Formerly Naogiori)
Age: 37
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: CHARISMA
Weyr: High Reaches Weyr
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: --
Physical Description: N’ori is a beast of a man, over 7’ tall and almost twice as broad as some of his peers. He comes with a permanent smile affixed to his face, though he does look like he’s taken a few too many punches. He has a particularly prominent brow line, and strong cheeks. Most would not consider N’ori to be a handsome man.
Personality: There’s a line where charming crosses over into charismatic and N’ori has done a running leap over it. He is a man to be relied on in the worst of times, and is always there to bolster and lift up those around him. There are no such things as limits, and by Faranth he is going to be making sure those around him don’t feel they have any. The sky isn’t the limit, it’s the starting line!
However, not all limits are meant to be pushed past. While he will never strain another to the point of injury, he will absolutely push himself to the point of injury and often times, even past it. He has been seen by healers perhaps a bit too much for this tendency to push. Even when he should be resting and recovering, N'ori will strain himself and end up needing more recovering time than he should have needed originally.
Everybody's business is N'ori's business - at least, if it is not happening behind closed doors. If something is happening out in public, there is little to no doubt that N'ori will want to be in on what is going on. Even if it's none of his business. He also has a way of trying to get into the middle of ongoing fights to de-escalate things with his optimistic energy and ending up getting socked for it.
Not that he ever holds it against them.
At least, not if it's over a misunderstanding between individuals. People who escalate their own fights and drag unrelated individuals into them will find themselves the target of N'ori's scorn. Even when everything has settled, as far as he should know it, and forgiving pleasantries have been exchanged, he will hold onto doubts about an individual for far longer than most people would and should anything crop up around that, he will hold assumption that a previous offender may just be at fault for the situation. Unless it's his boys. He tends to overlook their faults, much to his own hypocrisy and other's frustrations.
He also will assume that someone who looks like they need protection absolutely does. If someone wants to wrap N'ori around their finger, the easiest way to do so if to become a victim in need of help. However, this isn't the only appeal one can make to N'ori's good heart to get favors or really most anything someone could desire from him.
Those who get to know N’ori on a personal level, however, will find that underneath the charisma and heroic attitude...is a bit of a dunce. It isn’t that N’ori is dumb persay, but rather that when he actually has to think about something, he struggles a bit with it. Has to talk with someone in authority? You bet he has a paper with notes on it. In fact, when it comes to more on-the-up-and-up happenings, and even certain observations, his kids may pick them up before even he does.
Positive Trait List Charismatic, Optimistic, Supportive, Protective
Negative Trait List Pushes-self-too-hard, Nosy, Unforgiving, Easily Manipulated
History: Naogiori was practically born into the streets of Nabol. A quiet, and unassuming child, he lived as any streetchild did. When he was 7, he happened to befriend a young woman who worked in one of the brothels high above. Her name was Nahna. Nahna had some constant companionship in Dragonriders, and she told stories of them to the boy. He, in turn, would retell the stories to others in the gutters. Perhaps to try and inspire some hope in them - though not many saw the stories this way.
He lived for her stories, even if the mine should have claimed his young life. As he got older, the other courtesans of the brothel attempted to make Nahna turn the boy away and on some nights she did because she was working. On others, she would treat him as a mother would a child - and she expressed many times that she’d wished she had one of her own. She talked about if she ever had one, she’d have to secret them off to a better life - perhaps in the arms of a Dragonrider.
When he was 15, Nahna would do just that for Naogiori. While not properly searched, the boy was brought back as such - a favor she’d been holding onto, though Nahna herself was too old to use it for herself.
The next clutch on the sands would come soon after. From it, he impressed perhaps not the largest of bronzes - and in fact, he seemed fairly average in build, though long and lean - but the brightest, most confident match that ever could have been.
He’d return to Nabol many times to try and bring Nahna back with him to High Reaches, but each time she refused - with an excuse here or there as to why. At the age of 22, he adopted a boy from the creche. Three turns later, upon his nearly annual visit to try and take her away with him, Nahna instead shoved a child into his arms - one not much older than the one he had at home. “Keep him safe for me,” she insisted, “And don’t ever bring him here.”
There was no mistaking that the boy was hers, though why it had taken her six turns to hand him over would be a question N’ori would never get the answer to. The next visit would be his last. Nahna would not be there - and despite following leads on it, he would not find her.
So he instead put all of his energy into his two sons. Though his first would never readily accept the second.
First Threadfall would not be kind to N’ori or Meigth. The bronze intercepted a particularly nasty hit meant for another, and the dragon ended up grounded for a year while he recovered from it. It is only in the last half a turn that N’ori and Meigth have been approved as wing-ready and have rejoined the skies. Meanwhile, both of his sons have begun the eager wait for dragons so they can join their father.
Other: Has 2 adopted sons - Kahbrohm and Dehka.
