Brief Description of Persona:

  • I'zahn is 5'10" in height, with broad shoulders and a stocky build. He carries himself with a confident stride, greeting friends with a grin, and strangers with a cautious nod. His fine, sandy blonde hair is thinning and he wears it cropped very short. He's lazy about shaving, and often has rough whiskers on his face, a moustache, or half-beard. His eyes are a light brown, complimenting the dark brown hide of his beloved dragon, Oth.

  • I'zahn comes from a Trader family, and from that experience has learned to get along well with many different personalities. Often he is asked to intercede in an argument, or unwittingly, gets dragged into other people's affairs. He calls this his "Trader's Curse," but in reality, he thrives on social interaction and it gives him a feeling of being valued. I'zahn is honest, but knows how to spin an angle such that feelings are spared, or if angered, unleash a passionate response that would leave many speechless in surprise.

    Brief History of Persona:

  • I'zahn was born Imzahn, of a Southern Trader family. He spent his youth in a wagon, traversing the vast land. He matured earlier than most, taking on the responsibility of his family's wagon when his father became ill. Thankfully his father recovered by the time I'zahn was searched, at age 15 turns. While the family was saddened to see I'zahn go to the Weyr, they were very pleased for him. I'zahn stood on the sands, and impressed brown Oth. He has served the Weyr, and Pern, for 15 turns and is thankful every day that he is a dragonrider defending the land that he had grown to love so much as a boy.

    Description of Dragon:

  • Oth is a large dragon, with a very deep, dark brown hide. I'zahn enjoys bathing and scrubbing the lustrous hide, as the color reminds him of the richest farm soil of the land, when clean. Oth has a quiet personality, and generally keeps his comments to his rider, brief. He loves basking in the sun, swimming, and aerobatics (although he is not as good as a green or blue). Speaking of greens... he likes those, too!

    Description of Pet:

  • Burr is a black and gray brindle feline. He has elaborate tufts of fur that sring forth from his head and tips of his ears - hence his name. Burr's meow is low, and not very loud, sounding more like a deep hum rather than a true meow. He spends most of his time patroling I'zahn and Oth's weyr and living level, and occasionally ventures further out into the Weyr. He does not particulary socialize with strangers, but will greet close friends of I'zahn, affectionately.
