The Persona:
NAME: X'nder (Xander)
Date Created: unknown
Date Updated: August 16, 2008
RANK: journeyman healer, brownrider in Rainbow Wing, Igen Weyr
SEX: male
BIRTHDATE & AGE: 200.12.22, 33 Turns old in late turn 33
PARENTS: father Ched, mastertanner, deceased
Mother Xyldra (53) 174.02.28, cook at Treefell Hold on Windshear Island in StarRise Territory, cousin to Xelara (Kadyra's mother, deceased) (NPC)
SIBLINGS: 3 half brothers (Rylar, Kalem, and Tanno—all deceased), a half sister (Kadyra), 2 sisters-in-law (Lemellyne and Andena—both deceased), 5 nephews (Winton, Camden, Connor, Chelem and Nedlon—all deceased except Chelem), and 3 nieces (Galia, Rylyra, and Xyrane—all deceased)
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: best friend and cousin Kadyra, friends Alissi, K'ryst, Laria, Tarina, Tesnia, and Kithra
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: X'nder is extremely tall (6'6") and is so thin as to appear gaunt and emaciated. He has shoulder length, straight black hair, which he usually ties back with a brown leather thong. He has very small, beady, clear green eyes set close together on his face. His nose is large and beaky and he has a wide thin-lipped mouth. X'nder is fairly... well OK, very ugly. His complexion is clear and fair and he resembles a rodent. The little flesh on his body reveals flat, wiry muscles. His hands are soft and smooth with long, thin, delicate fingers. He is ambidextrous and has a pleasant, calming, bass speaking voice. X'nder wears loose brown woven clothing when not riding (brown leather if riding). His woven clothes hang on his thin frame making him appear frail, but his riding leathers fit a bit better. His natural expression makes him appear mysterious, and the sparkly nature of his eyes shows his wit and intellect. I want him to look like Orlando Bloom (Legolas in Lord of the Rings), but Orlando Bloom is way too good looking.

33.04.09 X’nder welcomes bronzerider D’gon back to Igen Weyr
BACKGROUND: X'nder comes from Treefell Hold, a small hold on Windshear Island in StarRise Territory. He was told his father died just before his birth until he truly died, and it was revealed that his father was Ched, his "cousin" Kadyra's father. His mother, Xyldra, is the cousin of Xelara (Kadyra's mother). He was a very promising journeyman healer at StarRise Weyr when it was suggested by an unknown person of high rank (now known to be Ched) that he could better serve Igen Weyr. X'nder owns a stupid blue flitter named Luc who enjoys making his life miserable as a result of his stupidity and bad timing. About a turn ago, he went back to StarRise to meet his Weyrling cousin Kadyra and they fast became good friends. He later learned of their closer sibling relationship after Ched died. He had a very bad scare when her runner died and he thought he would lose his only sister after so short an acquaintance, so he now is more appreciative of her than ever. He is currently learning that he is a worthwhile person from Kithra, a young harper who is also earning an endearing place in his heart. She is also trying continually to revamp his sorry excuse for a wardrobe.
For a brief time in Turn 31, X’nder actually had a romantic relationship with Tesnia. He broke it off when work became more important than their relationship, not that he was surprised. However, there were no hard feelings, and he was happy to help her through a hard time when her beloved dog died. Most recently, he enjoyed welcoming an old friend back home from Sable Weyr in bronzerider D’gon.
PERSONALITY: X'nder is very intelligent and quick-witted. He's quick to learn and easily solves difficult problems using flawless logic. He's a very sensitive and calming young man and would have made an excellent healer for his bedside manner. X'nder has an unusually strong bond with his dragon and hears all of his thoughts and feelings. He's a very open and pleasant man despite his sly, rodent-like appearance. He is very thoughtful and rarely in a bad mood. He carries a belt knife with a polished black handle- a gift from his mother. This knife is decorative and utilitarian.
PET: X'nder Impressed a blue firelizard named Luc. Luc is the dumbest firelizard ever hatched on Pern and is forever flying into walls and people, much to the mortification of his intelligent, polite master. Luc shares a deep bond with X'nder, much like the one he has with his dragon. Whatever image X'nder thinks to him, Luc can find it, although he has huge difficulties finding his way back. X'nder's dragon is heavily relied upon, as Luc can hear him when he gets lost and use his images to find his way back. Before X'nder Impressed his brown, he relied on others to direct Luc back to him, so his flitter is fairly well known at Igen Weyr, StarRise Weyr, and Treefell Hold. Luc is identified by a yellow and black thong tied around his left ankle as well as multiple scars from his encounters with large, solid objects. Lately, he has taken to chasing greens, much to X'nder's mortification. It has made him the topic of many of his wing's gossip sessions, and this makes him more than a little uneasy.
DRAGON NAME: Naphth
COLOR: brown, like camel, dark honey, or klah with a hint of cream
SIZE: medium to large, 111' length, 187' wingspan
WHERE & WHEN IMPRESSED: Igen Weyr, 21.01.20
SIRE/DAM: Barith/ Iliath #23
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Naphth is similar to his rider. He has flat, angular muscles and looks as if he has been badly chiseled out of camel-colored marble. His hide is as smooth and flawless as X'nder's skin. His eyes are small and show the slightest change in his mood. His snout is pointed and angular. Naphth appears as evil as his name, but is as gentle and good-natured as his rider.
ABILITIES: Nothing remarkable, but Naphth can direct Luc back to X'nder whenever he manages to get lost. He is very eloquent and can spout off long complicated speeches. This doesn't seem unremarkable to X'nder, but when you read the chatterings of other dragons, you see that it is. Naphth does fly in the Weyrleader's Wing though, so that must count for some of his (as well as X'nder's) ability.
RELATIONSHIPS: Naphth thinks Luc is useless and often tells this to X'nder. He really likes Kadyra's green Tamoth and was saddened when X'nder told him of the impossibility of flying her (his family relationship with Kadyra). Naphth is now resolved to be very protective of that pair and even tolerated Bornell as a non-food entity. He has taken to chasing greens and catching them, and might perhaps chase after a gold in the next RP flight. He thinks that since the greens consider him such a wonderful brown, why wouldn't the queens?
X'nder, M, 25, H= black, E= light green, HT= 6'6", WT= 180lbs
X'nder is extremely ugly, very tall, and rail thin. He comes from a small hold in StarRise Territory. He attained the rank of journeyman healer at StarRise Weyr and was transferred to Igen shortly thereafter. He has an extremely stupid blue flit named Luc, who often embarrasses this thoughtful, polite young man. X'nder is pleasant, gentle, and extremely intelligent. He has recently discovered that there are some women who are willing to look past his exterior and want to get to know the man inside. However, he's not quite sure how to take this. His best friends are his half sister Kadyra (a greenrider at StarRise) and Kithra, a pretty journeyman harper. He rides brown Naphth in the Weyrleader's Wing.
