Name: Logan
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual
Appearance: Logan is of short stature compared to most males his age - at about 5’7 - however his slender body makes him look more long and lanky than he really is. He has short, brown hair which shimmers slightly red in the sun. It highlights his fair complexion, without a freckle or scratch to mar its porcelain surface. Logan has pink, girlishly full lips which are usually pulled up at one corner in a devious smirk. Dark blue eyes peer out between short eyelashes, yet they still pop against the boy’s fair skin.
Logan’s style of dress further elongates and thins his frame by hanging closely to his scrawny limbs. A prep school look would be the best way to describe Logan’s preferences, as collared shirts, skinny legged pants, blazers and ties are his favorite items to wear. He’ll don expensive, highly polished shoes whenever he can, but if there’s a chance they’ll be ruined, he’ll opt of a simple tennis shoe or pair of spotless converse. Logan also always wears a watch.
All about being suave and proper, Logan holds himself upright at all times, having practiced excellent posture throughout his life. He walks briskly when he has a purpose - which he usually does - but when strolling he often clasps his hands behind him out of habit.
History: Logan was born on August 5th 1992, to a pair of successful general store owners. His entire family was strictly religious Christians, down to even his younger sister who was six years his junior. Even before puberty, there were slight signs that Logan was more feminine than most boys, and his father did all he could to make his son ‘man up’. He gave up after a few years though, and quickly shipped Logan off to a Christian boys boarding school, with specific instructions to the headmaster to ‘fix’ his abnormal mannerisms.
By all accounts the school had done its job. Logan acted like the run of the mill boy, hanging out with a lot of male friends instead of the usual females, and even helping the lacrosse team to their first championship. However, those who were at all close to the boy knew that this was mostly a facade. The mannerisms that his father had been so worried over had dissipated, but not fully vanished and were actually blossoming. There was a secret, and surprisingly large, group of homosexual boys in the boarding school - despite the strictness of their overseers - which Logan immersed himself in. He had a number of flings and boyfriends by the time he reached his senior year without any of the faculty noticing.
Only a few days before he was scheduled to leave the school, Logan was jogging around the track behind the school building and noticed a strange object off to the side of it in the long grass. Stopping to examine it, the boy found that it was an egg of some sort. Seeing no birds or other creatures around it, Logan figured it had been abandoned and took it back to his dorm. That night it hatched into a miniature dragon, to Logan’s shock and amazement. Running to the kitchen he grabbed some raw meat out of the fridge and hastily fed the creature, instantly bonding it to him. Unfortunately, the thing made quite a ruckus and the headmaster was awoken to deal with it. The school decided it would be best to keep the creature hidden from the press, and tried repeatedly to make Logan release the abomination into the wild. Of course the hatchling would not leave the boy’s side no matter what they tried. They gave up after two days, since logan was scheduled to leave the next morning anyway. In that time, F’lar came to visit Logan and after a long talk about the implications of his new companion, Logan happily mounted Mnenenth and betweened to Pern. A day later he Impressed Odiketh, the happiest moment of his life, and was soon sent back to Earth because of his defect.
Name: Odiketh ( oh-dee-keth )
Color: White
Age: Hatchling
Appearance: Odiketh is as ghostly white as can be. The iridescent shine that all whites have is barely visible, showing up most prominently on the underside of his wing sails. When glossed with oils, the sun reflects pure white light off of his hide, making Odi a rather blinding sight in the right conditions, like a landscape of new snow. He is able to blend almost perfectly with the clouds and the snowcapped heights of the Weyr, which he takes full advantage of when playing. Small, as most whites are, Odiketh has lovely, slender proportions, making him a speed demon in the air. It is lucky that Logan has such a lean frame himself or he would surely weigh his dragon's super light body down when riding him.
Personality: Odiketh is a silly white, to begin with. He loves to play games, and if no one will play with him he simply nudges and bothers them until they do.. or until he's reprimanded for annoying the innocent person. Fortunately, Odiketh can usually find someone to play with him because, like Ruth, firelizards are drawn to the white. Those that he has befriended, or even those he has never formally met before, feel completely comfortable perching all over him. He adores the little cousins and cares for them as if they were his own hatchlings. Odiketh is admittedly not the brightest glow in the basket, but he does try to learn, always asking His or other people - in no way bothered by bespeaking strangers - about things he cannot comprehend on his own.
Odiketh's defect is an intense fear of the color red, also known as Erythrophobia. Red hair, red clothing, red-tinted dragons - Gorth is by far his least favorite thing in the Weyr - all have a traumatizing effect on this little white. The irrational fear cannot be explained but it is so powerful that Odiketh will abandon Logan for a time until the red menace has vanished. Of course when he returns he lavishes His with apologies and a little scolding for putting his life in such danger.
Name: Uffizi ( oo-feet-zee )
Color: Bronze (olive)
Age: Hatchling
Appearance: Uffizi is a shiny little statue of a firelizard. He is a rich hue of bronze throughout, with dark freckles of green in the folds of all of his joints. The metallic sheen that all golds and bronzes have is particularly prominent in this specimen, making his oiled hide simply shimmer in the light. A strong, lean frame completes the package, with broad wings and a deep chest to make for effortless flight.
Personality: Uffizi is a vain little creature. He adores himself, and will often try to find reflective surfaces to preen in front of. He finds himself to be the shiniest, most magnificent firelizard there ever was, even rivaling most dragons. Of course it doesn't help that he is a nice looking flit. Being so shiny himself, Uffizi enjoys collecting other shiny things.. be them pieces of jewelry, clothing, or living creatures. His most prized possession is Odiketh, and as he protects the rest of his horde quite vehemently, the white dragon is guarded with extra vigilance. The bronze even goes as far as scouting ahead for white in case there's a red object ahead.
