D'kaiName Pronounced: da-kye Appearance: Dak is a rather handsome boy - although he doesn't appear to be aware of it, looking more and more similar to the young man he is becoming. The features of his face, while still retaining a bit of boyish charm, are clearly in the development stage, the sharper angles of adulthood mixed with the sloping planes of youth - though he's not hard on the eyes, he has some distance to go before being considered "devilishly handsome". Time will tell if he will ever fit that profile! Personality: D'kai is a growing, young teenager, constantly learning from his experiences and adapting to new changes that come with the introduction to adulthood. Add to that the rather violent new beginning to Weyrlinghood, and Dak is going through a strange period in his life. He's a kind boy, keenly empathetic toward those close to him - an emotional bond that has only intensified by Impression to Dartanath, and it is the dragon's influence that has made the once shy and unsure boy a bit more extroverted. He's more likely to speak his mind and express himself, but D'kai will always be a sweet and genuine boy - just a bit more forward! History: A young farmcrafting couple at Fargan Hold, a minor hold within the Benden protectorate was blessed with fraternal twins: a boy Dakarai and a girl Daya. While raising twins was a difficult experience for both parents, the children were raised well. Daya was very much a delicate and dainty girl, so Dak adopted the role of protective brother with vigor.

Information about D'kai's dragon Dragon Name: Dartanath Colour: Blue Age: 2 Wing (Weyrling Group): None Appearance: Hatched 8.17.01.15 Personality: His personality is a far cry from most blues however as he has a tendency to passion and recklessness that is most unlike his fellow blues. He will worship golds from afar and if given a task from one will perform it no matter the cost!...even if it is just watching paint dry. However, his own affections will be definitely with the greens and he will be quite a charmer when he grows up and rises to mate. He has a very high opinion of himself and his abilities because Dartanath will be one of the best deadly accurate firebreathers the weyr has ever seen. He will have an natural knack of producing a long focused flame that with his speed and agility allow him to tackle thread usually the realms of larger dragons. As such he'll be a little full of himself and arrogant at times, though his heart is in the right place and he adores coming to the rescue. Weyr of Origin: Arolos Abilites and weaknesses: Very reckless, arrogant and prone to passion, but will be one of the best deadly accurate firebreathers the Weyr has ever seen.
