Name: D'zrak (formerly Dynzrak)
Age: 20 Turns
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Swings both ways
Craft: Runnercraft - was too young to pick a specialization.
Rank: Apprentice
Location: High Reaches
Physical Description: Roughly six foot something, Dynzrak has been gifted with long, strong legs and a build naturally leaned out and muscled from his craft. His shoulders are starting to broaden, and while he seems a little lanky now, he’ll undoubtedly fill out as he grows older.

He has pale skin and bright green eyes that are often narrowed a little slyly. Add that to the sleek red hair that he keeps pulled back from his face, and one may wonder if the lad is actually... well, trustworthy. He has strong features and a bright smile and he always seems to be grinning about something.

In short, he’s a good looking man and knows it, and he’ll only continue to grow more handsome as he gets older.

Personality: Ambitious, proud, and a risk-taker. Dynzrak is at that age where he believes he’s invincible, and is a little too foolhardy to think otherwise. Life is too short to play it safe, and he fully intends to go out with a bang. You won’t catch him tiptoeing around anyone, that’s for sure--at least, as far as his peers go. He knows all too well what it means to disrespect his elders, or those who top him in rank, so to them, he'll be an overly enthusiastic participant at most. Being here at the Weyr is, in his mind, his ticket for a better life, and he'd rather eat wherry dung than sabotage his chances by back-talking authority. He's eager to prove himself, and that makes it all too easy to trip him up and wound his pride.

Dynzrak never does well when someone injures his pride.

To his friends, he is a daredevil of a companion, and will seemingly be there for someone for as long as they have his back. Of course, that means he won't make fun of you (much), and he won't put creepy crawlies in your bed. He isn’t about to slow down for the sake of someone else, though, so they’d best keep up! The thing is, Dynzrak seems to collect people as he goes along, fully intending to lose a few along the way. He’s always up for a good time, and that just may be too much for some people… especially since his idea of a good time isn’t always nice.

If you spurn him--or if he thinks you've spurned him--Dynzrak will do what he can to make your life hell. He isn’t the kind of guy that loses his temper, really. He’ll laugh and toss jabs back as good as he gets them… but then he doesn’t stop. He’ll go out of his way to torment and humiliate his chosen target, gleefully seeking to both embarrass and anger the person in question. The boy doesn't exactly think of himself as mean. The strongest have to survive, right? And if that means bullying the weak around, then oh well! He can definitely be an a*****e, loves to tease, and knows exactly when he goes over the line. He usually means to if he's deliberately baiting someone. The boy doesn’t bother minding his mouth, and definitely doesn’t relent from being crude. If someone’s offended, it just makes them even more fun to poke at, in his mind! Fortunately, if someone of a higher rank is the one to earn his ire, Dynzrak is smart enough to bite his tongue. Unfortunately, this probably means one of his peers will suffer for it.

Though he does tend to group people by first impressions, these can easily change in his mind if he sees said people acting out of the category he placed them into. He's flexible like that, and it's not uncommon for him to start acting friendly towards the people he's mercilessly embarrassed in front of others. They probably don't want anything to do with him after that, but hey, can't win them all!

The thing is, what friends Dynzrak does make usually come about by accident. He has this idea in his head that he's the only one that can look out for himself--but if someone can stick out his general attitude, he'll slowly but surely begin to appreciate their company. He doesn't trust easily, is the thing. The more dependable someone is, well, easier friendship will blossom.


Positive Trait List Outgoing, charismatic, quick-thinking, confident.
Negative Trait List A bully, egotistical, callous, crude.

History: History: Dynzrak never likes to talk much about his history. There's nothing particularly shameful or embarrassing about it, but he never likes to be seen as second-best. A stubborn, rueful child, Dynzrak was the second child to be born in a small family who resided in Keroon Hold. His father, Dynon, was a beastcraft breeder, who specialized in breeding animals that would provide the most nutrition to the dragons of the Weyrs. His price was always fair, and he considered it an honor to provide food for the dragons--even far before Thread fell again. He had grown up on stories of dragons defending Pern, and though others scoffed at his superstitions. The older of the two children, Caelin naturally took to the art of his father's work and excelled. As such, he was often praised by both parents, who had decided it would be best for the eldest son to eventually inherit the business.

When he was younger, Dynzrak resented and envied his older brother, often lashing out for attention that never quite fulfilled his need to be noticed. Unlike Caelin, he wasn’t any good at knowing which herdbeasts to breed in order to get the best results. His frustration made him turn his back on the craft entirely, and when he was 13 Turns, he began to work with runners instead. It was a lot of hard work, but slowly the boy became more fit as a result, and found that he enjoyed the manual labor!

When a Search dragon came to Keroon for potential Candidates and deemed that Dynzrak would be fitting, the boy jumped at the chance. Having decided he had already cut his ties with his family, he let himself be whisked away to High Reaches Weyr, seeing it as an opportunity to start over and live a life much better than his old one.

Second best again? Not unless you killed him, first! Whatever it took, Dynzrak was determined to be the best--even if that meant getting saddled with all the chores of a Candidate. If he could Impress a dragon... then everything would change, and that is the goal the boy has firmly set in his mind.

Bronze Slidrianth
Written by Mr Cheri
Colored by Mr Cheri

Origin of Name: When J. K. Rowling named Slytherin House, she did so after Salazar Slytherin, whose own surname came from the word 'slither'. Slither is derived from middle English slidder, which in turn originates from Old English slidrian, meaning to "slip or slide on a slope."

Inspiration: The animal associated with Slytherin House is the snake. Its House colors are green and silver.

Slytherin House was founded by its namesake, one Salazar Slytherin, around 990AD. Of all of the Hogwarts founders, Salazar Slytherin was convinced that they should teach only those who were pureblooded witches and wizards, whose ancestry was purest. Slytherin prized ambition, cunning, and pride. It is said that Slytherin House also taught the most dark witches and wizards, and that it's almost always Slytherin graduates who go to the bad. However, there are some clear examples where that stereotype does not hold true.

The legendary wizard Merlin was a Slytherin wizard who believed in helping muggles. A number of Hogwarts Headmasters and Headmistresses came from Slytherin House, as the students from Slytherin are known to possess strong leadership qualities. The portraits of those headmasters still hang in the Headmaster's office, offering advice to the current Head of Hogwarts. There have been a number of politicians who graduated from Slytherin, as well as several notable professors. Regulus Black was discovered to have died rebelling against Lord Voldemort, fighting against his dark cause in his own secretive manner.

But one of the most notable Slytherin alums was Severus Snape, Potions Master and one time Headmaster of Hogwarts. He was celebrated for his efforts as a spy against the Dark Lord Voldemort, ultimately slain by Voldemort's servant and Horcrux, Nagini. He dedicated his life to Harry Potter's protection and was remembered by Harry as a hero. Harry Potter would go on to name his son Albus Severus Potter in his honor.

Slytherin House in the modern day is not the pureblood bastion that it once was; indeed, it is noted that several half-bloods and muggleborns were allowed into Slytherin House. However, the tenants of Slytherin House remain: to assess all possibilities before making the most advantageous choice, to gain fame and fortune where possible, and to preserve the self above all else.

Personality: This creative creature will claw his way up to the top one way or another. He doesn't necessarily need to lead the Weyr, but if he did, he'd probably be deucedly good at it. He has a certain flare with his sharp, clever tongue, and is well able to charm and entice those who listen to him. He'll grow better at that very thing with time. One thing to be noted about Slidrianth is that he doesn't like being ignored, and will fall into a sulk when he feels that he's not being properly paid attention to.

Although one might assume otherwise, this bronze has a tremendous capacity to love. Admittedly, that love is spread out very thinly among very few people, but when he does love, it is with every ounce of commitment in his hearts. He would give his rider the world, if only he could, and will do everything in his small power to accomplish exactly that. His rider has his absolute and utter devotion, and if he has anything to say about it, they'll want for nothing.

He has plans for himself and for his rider. Start small, work his way up... gain as many allies as possible on the way. He would love nothing more than to be King of the World, but alas, that particular title would be terribly akin to having an enormous target on his back, and Slidrianth is a little too canny to go quite so far as that. Should he happen to fall into such a role, however, he will certainly do splendidly at it - so he would claim. But then again, Slidrianth is an arrogant beast.

He does not like risking his hide, and would toss other's in harm's way if necessary. It is a rather beautiful hide, don't you think? If he's a bit of a coward, then so be it. Better a live coward than a dead hero. He just knows that it's better to come at something from the side, to loop around to what you want. Attacking from the fore is a great way to come down with a serious case of dead. As such, he's rather brilliant when it comes to planning, and will make a fantastic tactician if he's allowed to go that route.

Slidrianth can be prone to jealousy and sulking, especially if he thinks that someone else has something that ought to be his. It's not particularly becoming, but shouldn't everything properly belong to this fabulous bronze? He comes from a noble lineage, and is certainly a worthy example of the breed. So, why doesn't everything just fall into his claws as it should? Life simply is not fair, and that's all there is to it. Naturally, this revelation inclines Slidrianth to even the odds, even if it means cheating... just a little.

Positive Traits: Clever, Ambitious, Charming, Dramatic, Shrewd
Negative Traits: Scheming, Arrogant, Cowardly, Self-Preserving, Sulky

Adult Size: 35'
Physical Attributes: Delicate and lovely for a bronze, Slytherin is absolutely the smallest size possible for his color. His lines are quite elegant, the blood of Eveleth apparent in him. As befits a dragon of High Reaches Weyr! He has large wings that catch the light splendidly, and allow him to swoop around dramatically if he so chooses.

Additional Notes: His hearts are going to be difficult to obtain, though once accomplished, he will be utterly and completely devoted to his one true partner. Although he does not seem to have a preference on the color of his true love's hide, he does expect that they will be the very best of their color, whatever that may be. He may choose to participate in Flights or he may prefer to be the object of them... or simply sit them out, depending on the mood.

Theme Song: Not the Villain by S J Tucker
Egg: A large egg in the center of the clutch in silver and green, featuring what appears to be a tunnelsnake. The egg gives very little away, yet seems to be considering whomsoever approaches it.

Why Me? Dynzrak possesses the fire that Slidrianth lacks, although they both share a huge helping of ambition. Simply put, Slidrianth sees in Dynzrak the strength that he needs to succeed where he wishes to go. But each have much to offer the other. Although Dynzrak has never been the prince, he will now be a bronzerider, inheriting the respect of his peers at High Reaches Weyr. They can rise up as high as they want to together. Slidrianth needs someone to truly love and protect him. Someone clever, cutting, and powerful, all of which his Dynzrak is. It's somewhat inconvenient that Dynzrak doesn't already know how to be a prince, but they can work on that - it seems that the man was already learning on his own. How clever!
