Arolos Weyr - K'gra

K'gra

User: MyaL

Name Pronounced: ki-GRUH
Character type: Dragonrider
Rank: Wingthird
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexual Preference: Bisexual

Current Location: Arolos Weyr

Appearance: His vibrant green eyes, gleaming with pride, haven't the scrawny characteristics that're present everywhere else. Across him muscles carve a sleek frame, concealing the anorexia he once suffered from despite rapid metabolism not letting him move beyond his gangly, 5 foot-11 inches. Since he'll never gain, or lose, weight he's so skinny the veins underneath his pale skin are noticeable. Tambrath, however, keeps him outside within the harsh sunlight longer. The straight, short hair offers some protection for his vulnerable skin, though not enough it would seem on the occasions he's going around sunburnt from the amount of practice Tambrath wishes they get. Frame amid those darker red locks, the sunken cheeks and squared jaw are more angular, more prominent as they're in contrast against that hair.

Personality: A passion drove him toward his direct approach and, drunk on ambition, he'll tackle whatever project he received with an unpredictable force seeming meant for intimidation. When someone cowers the entertainment he got from the spontaneous start deepens until his fierceness comes across even sharper, there's never guilt or remorse over it should he unnerve anyone. No others matter unless they're a goldrider because those shinies have an importance he can respect.

Whenever he encounters someone he'll keep the discussions short, which'll seem strange because having company makes K'gra delighted. People are expendable resources, anyone ran into could've been gone in another Sevenday since more than Threadfall threatens them, therefore permanent attachments seem mere foolishness within that logic-reached conclusion. His mind, though receptive over the skills others have, focuses more on the bronzerider lifestyle being attracted for reasons different from what he'd clung onto before Impression. Someday he'll lead bronzers on a merry chase, something he won't deny an eagerness about. Not much else changed.

He'd point out, as well as pick apart, everything someone's done wrong. Whereas, whether he'd compliment their correct choice depends on how good it'd make him look.

History: Whether their parents expected twins remains unknown. Kyraag never asked since all he cared about was having been born several hours before Kirtahg. Ista Hold was pleasant when growing up but Kyraag quickly developed an independence streak. The famine disrupted everything, hitting Kyraag hard enough he couldn’t recover entirely even with his twin’s support.

The anorexia lingered until their family moved South, the warmer environment more comfortable for Kyraag. It was there he apprenticed into the Vintner craft despite him already being thirteen. He began doing well but a Searchrider showed up intent upon Searching him and Kirtahg.

He stood for several clutches with his twin eventually Impressing first. Afterward he met Lorcico, another Candidate who he found himself hanging around even once Lorcico Impressed. The blue weyrling gave him a firelizard egg several monthes later which hatched a bronze...something which Kyraag's quite proud of. Kyraag also has himself a son, Qakry, who was conceived during one of Foreth's flights that were right after the volcano.

Lor'ci admitted after the hostage crisis that he liked Kyraag. Kyraag didn't mind this, accepted it, though inward did his best not to consider why he didn't mind the attractions. Now though, he feels ready for Wendeth's second clutch. At said clutch a green found her way over to him saying, ((Mine...my Kyraag! Your Tambrath comes and I have treasure too!))

In her first rising, Tambrath was caught by bronze Shetanth. The encounter drove it home that K'gra enjoys males as much as females. K'gra found one half-wild gold wher egg not too long after their graduation into the Direflame, the GhostWorm infestation must've driven Citruse's momma away from said clutch. Which let the greenrider take the egg. During the SunWarrior hatching there was too much distraction to keep his eye that much on Citruse tied outside his weyr. She got herself a snack of several firelizards foolish enough to approach. In his attempt at rescuing the pretty green who'd fallen from their ledge Regale came too close to the weyrwall. Though losing his bronze it doesn't change K'gra opinion of Citruse. A gold wher trumps a bronze flit.

In the last month before the 23rd Turn, he's gotten himself a new haircut to try another style. Soon after the 24th Turn began K'gra was transferred into the CloudDancers and made their Wingthird, something that's made him rather proud.

Information about K'gra's pets

Pet Name: Citruse

Pet Type: Gold Wher

Appearance: Her size, mid-range between Callamere and Wild parentage, will make her mixed-breed rather apparent. There’s no excess musculature but her curvature is mere shallow depressions that’re rather teasing about what could’ve been possible. Wide-set hips, likewise, indicate what could’ve been, they’re also wide enough that she'll have no trouble laying eggs. Her weight is somewhat under average considering her breed, however, 849 pounds doesn’t leave her particular trim either. Neither would her hide come across as dark or bland. The colors are as bright and shining as fresh spun gold. One can even see faint chartreuse lines that’ve woven themselves among the wrinkles that’re normally present. Chances are, given her current brightness, that she'll be positively radiant on her mating runs.

Personality: The pride Citruse possesses must've outgrown even her stature. One can see its presence within her assertion that everyone, when visiting K'gra, view her/her person as the foremost authority. She'll exclude another gold from those rules and recognize they're her equals, rather than something less important. When around her person, however, his scent, voice, presence, etc across her senses made lumping him in among other two-legs impossible. Anyone would consider this notable once they're aware that she views two-legged walking as unnatural. Unnatural because all other creatures, outside humanity, use their second, non-wings for getting around. This means she's rather uneasy around other two-legged humans and her ego would never accept letting them see her reluctance.

It'll feel overwhelming whenever another, non-wher, four-legged outdoes her. Her intense certainty that their actions must've been mocking her will make her become rather annoyed, rather quick. Nor can she overlook those prettier creatures, her intense annoyance about them won't let her. Rather than attack someone trespassing near her territory, her weyr, rather than eat whatever pet came too close, she'll warn them first. They get mental warnings, they get vocal warnings, they get visual warning all that're indicating she doesn't want them anywhere within her reach. If they respect her and keep their distance she won't become interested in chasing more than her next proper meal.

All that should've made it apparent that she won't necessarily appreciate being around others, not even another wher, unless they need gold intervention. Her maternal instincts kick during those circumstances and continue until they're no longer need, which point she'll abandon them. Which point she's apparently deemed them no longer worth addressing. She accepted Tambrath as worth more than normal four-legs, Regale went into that category too while he was still alive. She rewarded Tambrath with inclusion into her pack since that green dragon would likewise protect her/their person, but that meant Citruse expected some say over whom may chase the green. Any decision that'll involve two-legged outsiders are differed onto K'gra unless they've made some move against him, Tambrath, or herself.

Information about K'gra's dragon

Dragon Name: Tambrath

Colour: Green

Age: 6 Turns

Wing (Weyrling Group): CloudDancers

Appearance: The refined, dark emerald creature Tambrath grew into seems rather different from the gangly appearance she started out with. Tambrath swims and does whatever she can to keep, or increase, the well-toned muscles that're making her more muscular than the average green. Being of average-size herself, she'll amaze everyone over how quickly she moves about, only K'gra isn't for they've worked hard together to insure they did their utmost to better themselves, as well as keep their bodies in top shape. It is very important to Tambrath that she and her lifemate ALWAYS be in top form. Not every lifemate is equipped to keep up with her standards unfortunately, and this might cause some problems, at least until she comes to realize her lifemate's limitations.

Personality: Bursting from her shell she kicked out one end, pushed out the other and announced that she had arrived! For Tambrath there's no dilly-dallying and was rather interesting right from the get go. She's very adventurous so often her lifemate'd be watching her start digging, pushing sand and rock around too if something should catch her eye. She's even somewhat of a snob at times, especially if she IS certain that she's RIGHT about the topic being discussed. Likewise her taste in possessions leans toward the finer things in life and her lifemate had better enjoy them too because Tambrath'll want to be as cultured as a dragon can be. To that end she seeks out artistic works and, oddly, weapons to collect. Why a dragon would collect art and weapons such as knives may baffle some, her lifemate's included there, but he'll be pressured to do anything that'd make his green happy with everything. If that means collecting more crafted work and learning more and more about it, then so be it.

Weyr of Origin: Arolos

Abilites and weaknesses: She's intelligent for green, always learning more about the world around her and asks a lot of questions. Not to mention she wants to explore and watch things herself, perhaps that's where her love of cultural things arose from , or perhaps not, either way her appetite for learning is insatiable though it falls into second place below her need to exercise. Her stamina and agility are above average and she can put on sudden bursts of speed when needed. It's going quicker than those bursts which stymies her so she won't ever be the quickest green around.
