Name:Ch'otan
Rank: Brownrider
Age: 37

Dragon Name: Tuanth
Dragon Color: Brown
Dragon Age: 23



Brief Description of Persona:

  • Ch'otan is tall, just shy of six feet. He has the average physique of a dragonrider, broad shoulders, lean muscles, and short cropped dark hair. His dark brown skin comes courtesy of the burning Istan sun, and his crooked nose, broken during a scruff as a weyrling, had never set properly. Although numerous healers continue to offer to reset it, Ch'otan always refuses with a smile. He has an injury suffered recently, multiple threadscores from his right shoulder, along his arm and onto his thigh, deep, but not as bad as Tuanth's, and thankfully no broken bones.

  • Solid and dependable. The sort of guy you'd trust to take your shift even after pulling an allnighter, or to look after your daughter. Fairly amaiable, easy going, and at times playing the role of a peacekeeper or mediator. Although he's easy to get along with he has his moments. He deters arrogance and selfishness; anyone who flaunts either of those is bound to get taken down a peg or two by the brawny brownrider.

    Brief Description of History:
  • Ch'otan was born in Ista from a long line of dragonriders. He only has one half brother that he's aware of, although with Weyrs being as they are he probably has more siblings than that. His birth name was Cheotan, Che for short. He was never Searched but being a weyrbrat he had the right to stand as a Candidate, and Impressed the second time around, at 14, a large earth coloured brown named Tuanth.

  • He graduated into the Fighting Wings with only minor mishaps - with no Thread the only danger was getting dye on his dragon's hide, or getting flamed by another dragon as would happen three turns later. This more severe mishap grounded them for several months and Ch'otan took up archery with the Weyr's hunters while Tuanth's injuries healed.

  • In the air once more and the turns flew by. At 26 Ch'otan was promoted to Wingsecond. He retained this position till his forced transfer 11 turns later, when he and Tuanth were severly scored and, after several sevendays, the decision was made for the pair to recuperate in the south. In the meantime, two sons had been born to Ch'otan's longtime weyrmate, Oshala, maturing into fine young boys. Both had Impressed dragons of their own at the same Hatching; Cheojan a blue and Shonale a bronze, but only Sh'ale, the younger by a turn, made it past the first brutal Blooding.

  • As of now, Ch'otan has just arrived at Coral Reef Weyr, neither he nor Tuanth fully healed, the brown hard pressed to fly the length of a Weyrbowl, his rider still in crutches. Dragonhealers hope the gentler ocean air will assist the pair, and the salty water help the brown recover strength.

    Brief Description of Dragon:
    Tuanth is large as browns go, longer surely but perhaps not as broad as the many smaller bronzes. He is lean, with an almost chiseled appearance that stems from stress and injury rather than diligent training. His earth brown hide is covered in old scars, a squiggle on his rump, a few lines on his neck, but the most recent of all and the most serious are on his right. An entire swath of skin eaten away by Thread, the main sails of the right wing still missing large chunks of membrane, what is left is mostly scarred. If that wasn't enough, the brown has broken his hind leg while trying to land. A nasty splinter that still needs time to fully heal.

  • Personality wise, Tuanth is a friendly dragon who loves to doze in the sunshine. His injury has forced him to spend a lot more time on the ground but, if nothing else, his love for warm sun is satisfied.

    Attatched NPCs:

  • Son: Sh'ale, bronzerider.
