MUNDANE INFORMATION
NAME: Andrea Irving
B'DATE: 9/23/78
ONLINE ADDRESS: Hutchison.andrea@gmail.com
PERSONA INFORMATION
GENDER: male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: heterosexual
B'DATE: 01.04.16
CURRENT AGE: 31
PARENTS' NAMES, RANKS, AND AGES: father Cerek, (J) harper, age 61
Mother Carys, (J) theater crafter, age 58
SIBLINGS: brothers Laron (36), Kentrel (34), and Jeron (26, J harper at High Reaches Weyr), and sister Orinna (28)- all are harpers or theater crafters, but not all of them live at Ista Sea Hold (who does and who doesn't TBD)
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: aunts Zamora (28 and brown Japheth's rider in Night's Edge/ Weyrleader's Wing) and Gneala (26), grandmother Tareva (48)- yes, she's his grandfather's second wife
PETS: A blue firelizard named Wave. Wave is pretty well trained, for a blue. He'd rather be sunning or stealing tidbits of food from unsuspecting riders than doing anything useful though. He does like swimming with Retinath though. But that's not really useful, is it?
BIRTHPLACE: Ista Sea Hold
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6'4", thin, but with a great body. He's lightly muscled- the flat, sinewy kind. He's a lot stronger than he looks.
HAIR COLOR AND STYLE: brown; short but not too short; a bit on the wavy side if it grows too long
EYES: dark blue, almost black
FACIAL FEATURES: His body model is the actor and author Rupert Everett (My Best Friend's Wedding, A Midsummer Night's Dream, An Ideal Husband, The Next Best Thing). He looks very aristocratic and has a long-ish aquiline nose and medium to full lips. His eyes are large and can see inside a person's soul (or so it seems <g>).
COMPLEXION: light to medium, usually tanned
IDENTIFYING MARKS: Threadscore across his back, it goes from his right shoulder to his left waist, most people have seen it because he often goes shirtless.
RIGHT/LEFT/AMBIDEXTROUS: right
DRESS/FAVORITE COLORS: Flamboyant would be a conservative word. His only drab clothes would be his faded brown flying leathers. He prefers bright colors in exotic fabrics. No cotton or wool for this guy- unless it's in mint green or bright gold or something like that. The fabrics he chooses suit his long lanky figure, and the odd colors suit his personality, so he doesn't really stand out as much as you would think. Except on the few occasions he has to deal with holders or the more conservative crafters.
JEWELRY/WEAPONS: N'dael has kept to his theater crafter roots despite his 9 turns at the Weyr. At any given time in his free hours, he is adorned with a number of different knives, swords, daggers, and other assorted weaponry as well as costume jewelry (gaudy signet rings and the like). The jewelry he wears to get a rise out of people and to see how they'll react. The weapons he can't really use for anything in real life. With harper and theater crafter parents, he's been raised knowing choreographed sword and knife fights and enjoys flourishing his weapons for all to see. When he's in a good mood, he'll go down to the schoolroom and show off for the kids, but ~only~ when he's in a good mood. Which, surprisingly, is quite often.
GENERAL BACKGROUND: Nidael is the middle child in a large crafter family. He knew that he would have to really excel at what he did to be noticed, so he flung himself into learning everything he could about the theater craft at a young age. From the age of five, he was his mother's favorite pupil as well as her unsaid favorite child. His favorite characters have always been the villains because they have the most charm and charisma- those simpering lovers are too dull. He and his brothers and sister were raised right alongside Lord Arlen's daughters, as Vylanda's crafter background left her very indiscriminating in the early years of her marriage. His best friend and confidante was, and still is to a lesser degree, Miraine. Nidael was quite happy until Vylanda suddenly turned snobbish when he turned 13. He was Searched soon afterward and left for the Weyr before his parents could send him to the theater crafthall. He lived there for about a turn and studied as much as he could under the Weyrsinger while keeping up with his Candidate duties. It was then that me met and befriended a shy healer's daughter from Nerat named Danan. They became good friends and continued to be so after she Impressed the gold from that clutch. The next turn, N'dael Impressed brown Retinath. Their friendship grew during weyrling training. It became something more for a while, but they broke it off because they believed they were better friends than lovers. When N'dael was just out of weyrling training, he was flying 'Fall and came out of ~between~ just under a big clump- the reason for his and Retinath's scoring. He was in a deep depression for some time, but Danan procured a small flitter egg and blue Wave got him out of his funk. His skills improved and he became confident again.
In mid turn 23, he was made wingsecond of DaySpring Wing. Later that turn, Danan transferred to Southern Weyr. N'dael misses her terribly and can't get down there to see her as often as he'd like to. So this turn, he's given himself the excuse that it's because he's very busy with his duties. He got Danan pregnant after he rekindled their romance and soon after got Miraine pregnant during a mating flight. He hasn't taken his impending fatherhood well and has really slacked off on his duties, although this is harder with Miraine since she lived at the Weyr during her pregnancy. He found that he couldn't handle the questions and responsibility regarding his and Mir's son Edrys, so he sent him to High Reaches for Danan to take care of.
PERSONALITY TRAITS: N'dael is a really fun guy to be friends with. Because of this, it's very hard for him to keep a relationship- he wants to treat everyone like his friends, which doesn't work out for long. I'm sure that when he finally falls in love for real, he'll be absolutely gaga for the girl though, since he can be very intense when the occasion calls for it. N'dael is very dramatic at times, but can also act very serious (even when he's not). He's known to burst into song (he sings tolerably well) or start reciting lines from some play or another. Never a dull moment when he's around. He's a very capable wingsecond and because of his manner, many of the riders in the Weyr (some not even in his wing) feel comfortable coming to him for help with various dilemmas. He can't always help, but he tries.

DRAGON INFORMATION
NAME AND COLOR: brown Retinath
WING ASSIGNMENT: DaySpring Wing senior wingsecond
SIZE: large, 115' length and 190' wingspan- the size of a small bronze
WHERE AND WHEN IMPRESSED: Ista Weyr, 16.02.05
SIRE/DAM: Jiroth/Sharinath #4
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Retinath is a smooth chocolate brown with a faint greenish sheen- no mistaking this big boy for a bronze. The only flaw on his hide is a large threadscore along his neckridges, from the same clump N'dael was hit with. Retinath goes through great pains to keep the score hidden and is called vain by the other dragons because of this.
PERSONALITY: Retinath was a rambunctious dragonet until his scoring in his first threadfall. It aches whenever the wind blows hard, so he is constantly reminded of it. He is rather serious now, especially since N'dael became wingsecond because he feels he has to look out for the welfare of the subordinate dragons. Despite his seriousness, he's a pleasant fellow. He enjoys swimming and can often be found doing just that with any number of other dragons, flitters, and people.
ABILITIES: More stamina than the usual brown, due to his large size.
RELATIONSHIPS: Retinath makes a good pastime of flying greens often and ... often. He has no favorites, but he admires all he flies equally. He gets along well as a sort of fatherly figure to the other dragons in his wing, as well as to some of the other dragons at Ista Weyr even though he's still kind of a youngling. He likes flitters because they help him with his bath, and weyrlings and Candidates because they take great care when oiling his delicate neck. He's also rather fond of the dragonhealers because they scratch his eyeridges.
