Username: Yaoiwafflez
Name: Kamryn/ K'ryn
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: K'ryn is about two inches shy of six feet, and somewhat on the lean side. (He's always been somewhat thin, but he's put on muscle since becoming a rider.) He has dark brown hair, which he's been too lazy to really cut, so he keeps it braided back in a style he picked up from some riders from Monaco bay Weyr. He has rather handsome features, though he's not incredibly masculine-looking. His eyes are dark brown with hints of gold, depending on the light, and his skin, while not being particularly dark or pale, has a hint of a tan.
Any description of him would be incomplete without a note on the voice which made him a Harper.
His voice is a rather rare Baritone/Tenor, though practice has given him a pretty wide range of tone. He's more a fan of minor keys (and songs with lower/darker tones) when singing, and he's got a very particular lilt to his voice (even when speaking), though he's got a fondness for instruments as well. (Though vocal music is his forte.)
He likes dark clothing, but his style isn't set in any particular way. He'll wear what's comfortable but which also provides protection and functions as he needs. (He does have a jacket he got from a gather that he's rather fond of, but it was made with a rider's environment in mind- durable, warm, and hard to damage.)

Personality: K'ryn is a pleasant person, with an easy-going and rather relaxed personality. He's got a way about him that makes it difficult to dislike him, along with a sort of submissiveness that keeps him from ever really initiating arguments, though he'll give as good as he gets if he's forced to. If you really push him, he'll get annoyed and snappy, but he tries to keep on most people's good sides. He's very reliable, and he's good to talk to if you want advice, or even if you just want someone to listen while you complain.
He is something of a playboy (at least in his own mind) and he has the promiscuity and relaxed attitude toward relationships matching that of many a Greenrider. He certainly has no preference for gender, and there are enough Blueriders at Fort (and ladies from Harper Hall) who could likely confirm that. But he's always perfectly courteous, and would never dream of being anything but straightforward and honest about anything to whoever he's with.
History: A native of Pern, he was raised in Fort Weyr, the son of a Brownrider and his Weyrmate, a young Harper who fell in love with the rider. His parents had a relatively steady and monogamous relationship, and his mother forgave his father any of his dalliances with others when his Brown would Chase.
Of course, Kamryn was raised a weyrbrat, and like most, was fostered, but since his Mother wasn't a rider, he had a pretty good relationship with her. (His father as well, though the Brownrider was usually more busy; Kamryn did know he was his father though.)
Though Kamryn stood for Impression at the usual age, he didn't Impress until he was older, and even then, it was an accident of sorts.
He was an apprentice Harper after he stood for Impression, and he was about to get his Journeyman rank at the time he Impressed Synth at age 17. However, while he was practicing one day, there was a hatching going on. He was simply on his way to the sands (his master didn't approve of quitting practice even for a Hatching- though he did let Kamryn out early after much pleading) when he heard a commotion. Confused, he, like nearly everyone else who wasn't already at the hatching grounds, picked up his pace and made a beeline for the grounds.
It turned out that one of the browns had made it's way halfway to the kitchens to Impress, but while he was standing by the sands, one of the greens very politely tugged on his pants leg and quite demurely asked if he wouldn't mind helping her get something to eat, for she was very hungry. It was ten minutes before Kamryn realized what happened. Synth seemed quite pleased with herself. (Though Kamryn's master was far less so after losing one of his students.)
Dragon Defect/Injury:
(I'm just experimenting with this 'defect' for kicks and giggles. I really don't care if it doesn't work. Curiosity won me over. Change at your will, Faizah/Topaz. I ran out of ideas. Which is why this makes NO sense.)
A condition that caused her to get a skin disease that resulted in hypersensitivity to light, a bleaching and paling of her hide and eyes, and a separate disease that tattered the ends of her wings. (Similar to 'Fin rot' in fish. Treated with antibiotics available on Earth, she was 'cured', at least of the wing disease, though the edges are still torn- this was why she was sent to Rocky; with the hopes of healing her.)
The skin disease gives her a peculiar look; since Pernese dragons have green, copper-based blood and silvery muscles, when the disease caused the bleaching and paling of her skin, she took on what would normally have been a 'white tone'- simply the lack of pigmentation in her skin. However, due to the copper-based green ichor/blood of dragons, and the silvery tone of their muscles, she's taken on a sort of transparent look; she still has a green tint to her, but it's faint, and looks as if it was severely watered-down. Along the lines of her veins (at least the strong ones close to the surface) the green of her blood makes the veins show against her skin (as with the blue lines of a vein on a pale-skinned human). Otherwise, she's got waxy pale-green skin, and even her eyes display paler colors than her kin; pastels as opposed to the brights in others.
This disease also made her very susceptible to light and the sun; she's taken to flying only at night, or sticking very carefully and closely to the shadows. If she is exposed to direct sunlight for more than a few minutes, she develops a bad rash, which is very painful, and if longer than that, she gets dizzy, nauseated, and she may develop something similar to heatstroke. It's also affected her eyes- she can't see in bright light, and prefers dim lighting in her Weyr.
The second disease, which affected her a few weeks after she began to develop the skin sensitivity, was a simple infection that attacked her immune system (which in turn sped up the disease of her skin) and began to affect the membranes of her wings. They began to take on a white tinge, and developed a white film on them. Eventually, the infection began eating at and destroying the outer edges of her wings. She's still able to fly, but her actions are broader and less accurate now.
Impresed: June 2006
Synth - Synth is a sultry beast, promiscuous and proud of it. She searches for as many mates as possible and Rises regularly. Like her rider, Synth flirts with both genders of dragons, but since she only attempts to mate with the males, the female flirting is more playful than serious. Synth is, luckily, not possessive of her many male conquests and surprisingly drama free. Of course, that only pertains to Synth’s attitude, not any other females who might object to her advances on their chosen weyrmates.
She's built like your average green, with a lean build and a look reminiscent of a cat or a fox- a vixen, if you'd like. She's got sleek features and an elegant build, with a long and very flexible tail that frequently betrays her emotions.
(See her defect for an accurate color description.)
Braun - Braun is a curious personality at the least. He is a collector of strange items, inanimate or living, bringing them to his K’ryn the instant he finds them, no matter what the greenrider is doing. If K’ryn refuses the gift, it gets passed to Synth, and if she doesn’t want it he simply puts it on her back, between her wings; clearly the safest place for his little gift. Aside from his strange obsession, Braun is a sweet flit. He is surprisingly apt for bringing K’ryn items when he actually asks for them, despite his assumed inferior intellect.
Braun is a handsome little flit, with a pale-cream hide, a little more off-white or eggshell than true white, which, like Ruth's has a pearlescent sheen that reflects pastel colors of gold, bronze, brown, green and blue. He actually matches Synth in a strange, pale way. He's got a very noble build, however, and though he's small, he has the lovely proportions of a bronze- strong, powerful wings and a deep chest.
