Character Profile
Name: Reya Poliziano
Age: 20, born November 3, 1990
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Candidate
Weyr: Rocky
Appearance: On the slightly taller side, Reya usually has a 'get away from me before I beat you' look in her eyes, if not on her face. Irish by blood and Italian by birth, her hair is a darker red than normal, a rich auburn compared to the pale ginger of most of her kin. Her eyes, emerald green, seem to see right through you, finding any chinks in the proverbial armor.
Picture:
Base Personality: Crafty and cold, Reya rarely turns down from a fight. She does have a nice side, but one would have to work quite hard to see that side. Or be extremely lucky. And on the extremely rare occasion, one can manage to find her showing a sweeter side, but only to close friends and family, and she hides a secret flirtatious side. She refuses to talk about not only her past, but about herself in general, and turns a cold shoulder to most who ask. Those who persist get a fist to the face.
History: Born in a small village near the base of the Apennine mountains, Reya never had much. Her family barely had enough farmland to survive, and as the youngest of four kids, Reya was extremely young when she had to start working to help sustain the family. For a while, it was just her helping her mom around the house and in the kitchen while her father and three older brothers worked the farm. Once she was old enough, though, she wanted to go help in the fields. Her middle brother went willingly to take her place inside the house. What time wasn’t dedicated to helping around the farm was going to school and doing her homework.
She always excelled at not only her chores but her schoolwork, so much that she was advanced a grade, but it never satisfied her. She was only in third grade when she was in her first fight, and the thrill of confrontation and the rush of adrenaline proved to be the satisfaction she was lacking from her daily duties. Her parents weren’t so thrilled at her newfound interest, but her oldest and youngest brothers were thrilled to have someone else to scrap with. Though Reya never thought of them as scraps, but rather she thought of them as full-blown fights. And if her brothers didn’t treat her like another boy before because of her work out in the fields, seeing her fight sure changed their minds.
She was about to graduate from her final year at school when she made a rather curious discovery. An abandoned nest with what looked like bird or snake eggs. Most of the eggs had already hatched, but there was one still sitting in the nest. Despite her general dislike of humanity, Reya was quite the animal lover, and took the egg home. Her family didn’t question what the egg was or where it came from, having discovered her love for animals that was almost as strong as her love of confrontation.
When the egg hatched a couple days later, however…there was definitely some confusion and explaining that needed to be done. A small reddish-brown dragon-looking creature had hatched from the egg, and devoured the sandwich Reya had been eating while she read a book near the egg. That was April 2007. A couple weeks after the little creature hatched, a much larger one showed up. This dragon had a much more vibrant and had a bit shinier hide. The man who hopped off of the dragon’s shoulders introduced himself as N’ton of Bronze Lioth, and that they were something called a Weyrleader of some fort. A Green that was slightly larger than Till flew off of the man’s shoulders and glided over to the little Brown, chirping curiously at him. After asking how they knew where she was, N’ton gestured to the Green. “She caught a whiff of him, and she led me here. But because that little guy Impressed you, I’m extending an invitation for you to try your hand at Impressing a dragon like my Lioth here. But you’d have to leave your family, your home behind. The firelizard can come, but your family would have to stay. Lioth may be a brute, but he can’t and won’t carry that many.”
Reya had to think about that for some time. She was very family oriented, and to leave them behind, possibly forever…But to impress something as massive as the Bronze in front of her? It was an opportunity she felt she could not pass up. After collecting some of her things and explaining the situation to her family, and receiving their blessing to go, she left with N’ton.
However, Weyr life wasn’t quite what she expected. She wasn’t sure what she was expecting, but such a technological depression surely wasn’t it. Not that it mattered much to her anyway. For the next two, three years, she Stood at every Hatching and learned as much about the Pernese as she could. But her cravings for fights never waned, and it always got her into trouble. More so than the Pernese she fought because she was the outsider, the foreigner.
One fight got so bad that they told her she was going back to Earth. This was going on four years of being on Pern, and she had a hunch they were just sick of dealing with her aggressive habits and decided it was time for her to return. She hadn’t Impressed a dragon, but that was fine by her. She had been out late one night and caught sight of a couple wherhandlers and their whers, and subsequently decided the aggressive beasts would be a better match for her than the more complacent dragons.
Firelizard Profile
Name: Till
Color: Brown
Color Code: 5f1202
Age: 4
Physical Description: Standard size for a Brown, but with the build of a Blue; much sleeker than normal Browns. He has tears on the edges of his wings from fights with neighborhood animals and other flits.
Base Personality: Standoffish and a bit of an irritant, this Brown is also a tad arrogant and overconfident. Till annoys even Reya from time to time. As much of a scrapper as his Bonded is a fighter, Till is a veteran of many fights and has the cocky arrogance to prove it.
