Arolos Weyr - T'lack

T'lack

User: sailyn

Name Pronounced: Tuh-lack
Character type: Dragonrider
Rank: Wingleader
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Sexual Preference: Homosexual

Current Location: Arolos Weyr

Appearance: One phrase: Best looking guy in the Weyr. (See I even put it on his persona sheet so nyeh) OR as K'dar puts it "The most gorgeous stunning piece of man flesh this side of between... and in between too if you get my drift... ooo baby..." ; ) He has dark black short hair and green eyes. He is tall, well over 6 feet. He has a nicely tanned complexion that covers his slender, but very well muscled body. He's the type of person that makes most people, whether they find men attractive or not, pause for a minute to stare before continuing on their way, or not... as the case may be.

Hidden under his clothes, which he does seem to stay in more than when he was younger, are various scars across his upper body, most of them from when he was younger and clumsy and apt to take hard tumbles. There is another scar on the right side of his stomach curteousy of his brush with Julon. He also has a scar on the back of his lower left leg, again another relic from his younger years.

Personality: T'lack is a nice guy, but he can be a bit reserved at times. He's far more likely to be found spending time with Renth, K'dar, or his son then scouting the Weyr for new friends. But he is very loyal and loving the friends that he does have. (He has a surprisingly complex personality that craves a level of commitment most people would shy from. He has an artists eye for beauty and appreciation of subtleties and yet respects practical physicality and individual control and sense of self, says Vicky *winks*) He's also the type of person who knows that he looks good, but personally couldn't care less. For the most part he thinks that it was wasted on him, it being one of the things that he would never wield against people.

History: Born to Fort Weyr. He was the son of a drudge and a brown rider. He led a pretty normal life at the weyr, his parents both making the effort to raise him as best they could in between work, drills, and Fighting Thread. Finally, though, they realized that they could not properly raise him and sent him to Fort Hold to be raised. His mother took him for a time and raised him there in the relative safety of the Hold, figuring that he would be much better taken care of there than the Weyr.

As time passed T'lack, then Talack, found himself attracted to males, something that Fort very _strongly_ discouraged. Talack found himself at odds with these feelings and quickly ignored them, lest he be beaten like others were for showing any affection towards the same sex. It was a brutal practice, more of a sport than anything else, that even Talack himself participated in when time came down to it. It was only this unfortunate ability to follow the crowd and hurt others that kept him from following the fate of the boy that he had a hand in killing. During this time he also found himself falling in `love' with Lord Barol's youngest daughter, Sharia. Or he thought it was love, it wasn't until long later that he realized that it was really just a desperate attempt to escape a life of beatings and segregation caused by his own feelings for men. Somehow, quite drunk, and not quite in his right mind, Talack managed to knock up Sharia not long before she was to marry the son of a well respected member of Fort Hold. Sharia was ruined for marriage now and fled to Fort Weyr to give birth and then Stand as a candidate. Talack was beaten for the transgression and thrown out of the Hold and Weyr altogether. Having no further choice he went South to be Searched and ended up in Arolos. He stood a few times before Impressing Green Renth, and in the interlude fell in love with a Weyrling, K'dar, quite by accident. A handful of months after Impressing, T'lack was found in the Weyr by Julon, the man that was supposed to marry Sharia. Julon was horrified to find that after all the trouble T'lack had caused he had gone and found out he was gay. In an odd punishment of sorts, he tried to rape T'lack, and almost succeeded before K'dar came along and pulled him off.Things returned to normal, and then a while later Sharia appeared on her green dragon, Wilmith. She presented him with their son, apparently in a hopes that he would take her back. When she too found out that he and K'dar were quite happy she quite bluntly threw a hissy fit and stormed off leaving him quite literally holding the baby. Now T'lack and K'dar had a son which they named Taldar, agreeing to raise him together.Also, quite recently T'lack came into a nice bit of money after finding a nice silver deposit on Arolos Island. And T'lack's latest pet is Cident, a wild blue wher that more or less accidentally Impressed T'lack at the Wher Escape during Turn's End.

Information about T'lack's pets

Pet Name: Cident

Pet Type: Blue Wher

Appearance: Cident is not an overly large blue wher considering his non-Callamere parentage but neither is he tiny either. He's a mostly light colored blue wher, his body is almost uniformly the color of a clear blue sky. The exceptions are his wings and tail tip which are a sharply contrasting almost royal blue and small spots of the same color blanketing his hide end.

Personality: Cident, not having the advantage of being of Callamere breeding, is not nearly as sociable as a Callamere. He's been trained well but T'lack must continuously reinforce the wher's training or he could easily become harder to control. He is quite possessive and when first being introduced to T'lack's potential love interests, or even just close friends wanting a hug, he needs strong reminders that it's not appropriate to try and force his way physically between T'lack and the other person. He doesn't usually get aggressive per se in such circumstances but even without being overtly aggressive a wher trying to force his body between T'lack and the other person can cause possible injuries.

Information about T'lack's dragon

Dragon Name: Renth

Colour: Green

Age: 7

Wing (Weyrling Group): Swiftwind Blazers

Appearance: Renth is small. No other way to put it. She's small, and petite, quite a contrast to T'lack. She's so small that to people who don't know that dragons can carry about anything they want it appears that she'll never be able to lift T'lack's big weight. She has a light green stomach that gradually gets darker until you get to almost a hunter green when you get to the tip of her wings.

Personality: She's a happy little green, a bit hyperactive at times, but also just as content to curl up in a nice sunny space and soak up sun. Her personality is still developing, but she seems to be a very willing to talk to complete strangers should the opportunity present itself.
