Name: K'sek
Age: 29
Residence: Dawning Light Weyr

Dragon Color: Brown
Dragon Name: Tainth
Dragon Age: 14

Brief Description of Persona:
  • K'sek is tall, dark, and handsome. His hair is black, his eyes light blue, his skin well tanned, and his face ruggedly handsome. Muscular, athletic, and unafraid to flaunt everything, he gets many second looks from girls and guys alike. K'sek is a bit of a loner. He doesn't want to get too close to anyone, not anymore; he's too afraid to care and then lose. He comes across as cool, aloof, and arrogant, prideful in his flying skills. In fact, he flaunts them...in drills.

  • In Fall K'sek is completely different. While not terrified of Fall, it bothers him. A lot. Knowing it is his duty, he flies to meet it and flame it, though he would much prefer to be doing administrative duties, being grounded, or anything _but_ fighting Thread. K'sek honors duty, the Wing, and the Weyr. There is nothing he would rather do than ride a dragon. He believes that everyone in a wing should honor and trust each other, and that Wing members should have an unbreakable comraderie. Unfortunately, he's rather good at ruining that feeling with his veiled insolence and arrogance.

    Brief History of Persona:
  • Born at Fort Weyr, Kellsek's parents were both riders. K'lan (once Kellan) and Keira fostered their son, and four Turns later his sister, Keleira, was fostered to a holdr couple beholden to Fort Hold. He had a Turn older brother who had already been fostered to Keira's sister Serra, who pretended that Keiran was her own son.

  • Kell was always proud of himself. Being a goldrider's son and fostered by the Headwoman made him special, even if his father was 'only' a brownrider. The other weyrbrats respected him for his lineage, and he made sure they respected him for his skills too. He lorded over them, never making friends, just enemies and followers.

  • Kell knew, just knew, he'd be a rider. And, of course, he was allowed to Stand. At fifteen he Impressed, fulfilling his dream...but it was a brown, the same color he'd scorned as lowly. Still, he loved his Tainth.

  • He outperformed everyone else, even the bronzerider, in weyrling training, and was assigned to the best Wing immediately after graduation. All was going well for K'sek, though he still resented his father.

  • Then Thread began to fall. That was okay; dragons were bred for fighting. It should be no problem, everyone felt. But one day, in one of the first Falls, all the Thread was in large clumps. On that day K'sek saw his father and sister be scored and die. His father's dragon blinked /between/ to avoid one clump and emerged in another. Plummeting towards the ground, much of his was consumed before finally, mercifally, the /betweened/ forever. Loose riding straps combined with high winds caused his sister Keleira to fall from her dragon, who was Threadscored while diving for her. While the pair survived (Keleira was caught by another rider), they were horribly scarred, and they left Fort.

  • K'sek, stunned, tried to cope. While he wants to see all Thread eradicated, he knows he'd rather someone else do the eradicating. He asked for (and got) an administrative, non-flying job for a few months while he attempted to recuperate. After he returned to duty, he flew Thread again, but he still carries a deepseated fear.

  • Meanwhile his mother was wasting; he was all she had. One day he learned of his brother and began to search for him, but failed. His mother sunk into decline and passed on much of her duties to other goldriders. Fearing she was going to die, K'sek chose to transfer to Dawning Light Weyr in the south to leave everything behind.

    Brief Description of Dragon:
  • Tainth is a perfect brown, in terms of size and proportions. Nothing remarkable, he's just average, a fact that bothers his flamboyant rider. A good mix of stamina and manueverability and a nice russet color that gets plenty of comments. Personalitywise he's a good old brown: solid, reliable, and the one to check his rider's ego. Unlike his rider he enjoys flying Fall, and charges into it all cheerful. Like his rider, he shows off to anyone who will watch. He knows that even though his lifemate loves him he wanted a bronze, so Tainth tries as hard as possible to make up for being the wrong color.
