N'yxName Pronounced: Nix Appearance: N'yx is a tall man, standing at 6'2". He's very well muscled from life as a dragonrider. Black hair is cut to near shaved on the sides of his head, leaving the top longer, woven into a thick braid (think viking hair style). His face is on the broad side, with a squarish jawline and a hawkish nose, with dark blue eyes. He has a bit of stubble, not really caring if he's completely clean-shaven. He is missing the lower part of his left arm, after losing it to Thread. Personality: N'yx is an active, adventurous young man. He can be quick thinking and quick on his feet when the situation calls for it, particularly in Fall. Sometimes, though he can also be a bit reckless, especially in the heat of the moment, when all he can see is someone needing help. History: N'yx was born in Igen Hold, to a small, close knit family of farmers and herders. He never thought much about the future, expecting to follow in his father and brothers footsteps as a farmer, and he was fine with that. He loved the family farm, and caring for the earth, even in such a harsh environment as Igen. His life changed, rather drastically, when the Searchrider showed up, and N’yx was among those selected to become a candidate. A high honor for a young boy, and his family were as eager for N’yx to go to the Weyr as N’yx was to try to Impress a dragon. Information about N'yx's dragon Dragon Name: Ostibeth Colour: Brown Age: 15 Wing (Weyrling Group): Miscellaneous Riders Appearance: Ostibeth is a fairly large brown, though not quite the largest around. He’s broad and bulky, and well muscled. His wings and tail are a little longer than usual, and on the ground that makes him a little clumsy, though in the air it gives a boost to speed and agility in spite of his size. His hide is a tawny brown color, with slightly darker shadings along his spine and neck ridges, and along the edges of his wings. Personality: Ostibeth is very much an ‘in your face’ sort of dragon. He is almost always in a cheerful mood; it takes a lot to bring him down. Ostibeth also isn’t afraid to speak his mind. There’s something he doesn’t like? He’s going to make sure you know about it. Like N’yx, Ostibeth feels very protective of his wingmates, and pushes himself hard to keep them safe, taking it hard when he can’t do anything to help.
