H'aal of Blue Litanuth  

[demon_pachabel]

Name: H’aal
Age: 51
Nameday: 3525.11.11
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Pan. Yes please. Everything.
Weyr: High Reaches Weyr
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Sailor - not hall taught.
Physical Description: H’aal is on the tall side of average in height, with olive skin, dark eyes, and wild, dark hair that almost seems to have been permanently shaped by the salt of the ocean. He is broad in the shoulders and strong in the legs from working at sea.
Personality: H’aal likes the finer things in life. He likes food, he likes drink, and he really likes to have a good time. If someone gives him even the slightest inclination that they’d like some personal time with this handsome bluerider, he is more than happy to let them have it. However, don’t expect it to be special. While super friendly, and happy to have friends, he’s less inclined to simply settle down. And why would anybody want to settle for him anyways? Why not enjoy the good times you could be having with him? Yes, H’aal is a bad influence in that way - doesn’t everybody deserve nice things, and as much of them as they can have?

That said, H’aal doesn’t handle being disappointed or having things taken from him: he has a tendency to be spiteful towards others who have things that he desired or have kept him from much of the same. He is not above being petty and inconveniencing their lives or even spreading rumors at the cost of their reputation. That he’s sharp and knows how to play it to keep his own a** out of the fire only fuels the nasty edge of his attitude - though he is just as smart at keeping from being put in that position when he can help, delighting in being able to ‘win’ the things he desires.

H’aal is a fortunately very flexible individual, able to bend to fit himself wherever he lands and go with it no matter how it goes without being too awfully put out for it. However, while he came to a Weyr for his own reasons - duty to his family, the drive of his dragon to defend Pern, and being able to put himself last - he’s quick to jump away to anywhere else in the world on a free day and even during drills he is obviously anywhere else. It isn’t that his dedication is wavering, but that after a life of travel, he is restless being in one place. Just as he would be settling down with one person (or so he claims). Trying to find him during his free time is up to chance most of the time.

Positive Trait List Sociable, Sharp-witted, Flexible

History: Hazanaal was born at sea to a travelling trader and his wife - and it could very easily be said that it set the tone for his life. When he was old enough, Hazanaal would come running back to the ocean..out of spite of his parents and jump on the first boat that would take a 14 year old runaway who wasn’t interested in being shoehorned into the life his parents had planned for him. It wasn’t the more straight of ships, and things were a little (a lot) suspect and not clean cut, Hazanaal found he liked it well enough.

The crew would become his new family as he grew well into adulthood, learning his way around a ship and many a not-so-kosher social situation. When he was a fresh young lad of 18, the ship and its crew docked not far from Southern Weyr for some trading - and he was sent up the way to deliver something to one of the riders who lived there. While waiting for the rider in question to make his way down to him, the Weyr filled with the humming of dragons and his task quickly went forgotten as he, and many other guests, were ushered off to watch the hatching of dragon eggs.

It was a modest clutch, but Hazanall had never seen dragons so close before. He was in awe. Then rapture. Then - Well, come now. It may be by coincidence you are here, but your coincidence is what I stake my life on, Hazanaal. A young blue, still halfway coiled in his shell, summoned him. Hazanaal would stay where he stood - but H’aal would step forward and become the rider of Litanuth.

Needless to say, it inconvenienced his crew. But six months later they’d be through again...and well, they figured out a way to sometimes have a dragon sleeping aboard the ship - when H’aal and Litanuth weren’t sent off on errands across the map, or simply flying ahead. They were both a boon and a pain, but it worked out for a long time.

H’aal would eventually father a pair of twin boys with a young woman who temporarily took passage on their ship - insistent that she take the long route to her destination, rather than the quick and easy jump of a dragon. She’d stay with the crew for almost two full turns before she left them to her new life as a cozy little wife to an older man. She’d also leave H’aal with their sons who perhaps would forget her face in time. Perhaps he too would forget her face.

Still, the boys would grow up with the same crew he’d come to see as family - and he’d bridge the gap of a runaway son with his birth-parents to introduce the pair to them and his siblings. In turn, he would meet his own nieces and nephews. But they’d not stay.

He was determined to stay at sea, and likely would have remained there if the most unprepared for of tragedies didn’t fall from the sky down upon them. H’aal isn’t certain how everything happened, amidst the chaos, but while he and Litanuth were able to bring most of the crew to safety during First Fall, it would be on the final trek back the Captain, and the ship, were lost completely in the sea. Several weeks of mourning would follow - and then came dragons to search for those who would stand for clutches that would bring new fighters.

They would take his sons. H’aal would follow to High Reaches.


Other: H’aal’s sons are 18 - they may have impressed already or they could still be standing. Who knows!!!

DRAGON
Name: Litanuth
Age: 33
Color: Blue
Size: 31’
Physical Description: Litanuth is long and fit, though not heavily muscled, with a broad wingspan. Those who look upon him will quickly notice his tail is proportionally longer than it should be and it tends to drag a little.
Personality: Litanuth is an intelligent little beast who likes to read the room and, with that, decide how he presents himself. Are things looking a little violent? He’ll throw his weight into that corner. Would things be better if he was a little softer? He’ll play that card too. It isn’t really to curry favor, he rarely desires such a thing outside of a flight, but rather he likes to keep his options open...in case anybody has anything that he wants.

He is, after all, innately selfish. He wants things, covets them even, and his envy really knows no bounds when he cannot have those things. If given a chance, he’ll try to talk your dinner right out of your claws and into his mouth, or maybe a few minutes with that lovely lady on your ledge. A sharp individual will see through his ruses in an instant, as he is subtle on top of everything, sliding his cards under the table, playing them on top, and he is rarely direct outside of his pursuit of rising greens - which he chases eagerly, perhaps hoping one might stay and be so dearly coveted - though his inconsistency and shifts in behavior for his own personal gain may quickly send them running as well. Or perhaps doubt he could be a devoted lover.

His tendency towards secrecy and dark commentary likely won’t earn him any fans either - and he has certainly gained enemies for his behavior.
