Sh'in (Tanshin)Name Pronounced: sh in (tan shin) Appearance: He is not the tallest boy ever at about 5’9” though he has a bit of weight on him being somewhere in the area of 170 pounds. There is a good reason for it due to all the muscle he has on him built up from his turns as a smith which has caused him to be ‘built like a wall’ as it were. His legs are built due to lifting; his arms, chest, and shoulders build due in most part to swinging the hammers and things required for the objects he is best at, knives. His hair is cut to his shoulders then pulled back in a thong, he leaves it long in order to make it easier to pull back out of his way, and is a blond color so light it looks white in truth. His eyes are a blueish gray color that seems to run in his family from his father’s side, or more exactly seems to be passed down to at least one child in every generation on his father’s side. His skin is rather pale for the most part due to his turns working inside, but is also usually rather red as well at times due to the heat from the fires of the forge. Personality: He is a bit of a loner at most times, but this is due to the fact that He likes his craft and spends as much time on it as he can in it. It’s not that he doesn’t like people it’s just that he likes making things with his hands. However his self made solitude has not made him the best conversationalist ever, which means that more often then not he just doesn’t speak and so if often classified by people that just meet him as one of those ‘strong silent types’. Which he doesn’t really get as his emotions are as stunted as his social skills, they are there he is just not good at putting words to them or really showing them for that matter. History: Mother: Shinido, 53 (28 turns pre pass.05.11), Master Smith Information about Sh'in (Tanshin)'s pets Pet Name: Pest Pet Type: Green Firelizard Appearance: This green has an almost pot bellied appearance however she still manages to be all around slim. Her legs and tail seem far too long, as do her wings. She is well muscled under her hide however, it is her hide that seems to be all too big for her often creasing when she moves. Her hide itself is really smooth to touch, much like touching a well prepared piece of leather and is a vibrant teal green colouring. (Sphinx cat) Hatched: 8.15.06.14 Personality: This flitter is very, very cuddly. She prefers to be either on her pet, next to her pet or in her pets clothing. She tends to feel the cold a lot more then the rest of her brethren, even down to only going between when it is only necessary. She loves attention and, most of all, loves sunning and being oiled, driving her pet to distraction with her want of attention. Second Pet Name: Pain Pet Type: Brown Wher Appearance: The color of terracotta, this brown has a decided reddish tinge. Amongst the reddish hue of this hide is almost ochre brown streaks, giving the appearance of him being fresh out of the forge. He is a rather slim wher, small in size to the shoulder but oddly long. He seems at the shoulder, not much bigger then his blue clutch brothers. Around one eye is a streak of ashy looking brown, very similar in pattern to a human hand print. (Fire) Hatched: 8.15.09.08 Personality: He is a wher that will always look at things, well, differently. He sees beauty in the most unusual things, from a pile of stones, a piece of leather on the ground, or the way his pet lays under the furs. His stare at these times may seem disconcerting, making the one who interrupts him feel, well, disturbed. He is a rather calm wher, always showing the blue of calm in his oddly faceted eyes. He has a strength of character however that belies his calmness. When he has his mind set, or is directed by his pet, he will go through hale or sunshine, shells even directed, he would stand free in threadfall, if only to obey. Information about Sh'in (Tanshin)'s dragon Dragon Name: Shacath Colour: Green Age: 11 Wing (Weyrling Group): CloudDancers Appearance: Egg - Basket Caught Egg: Some eggs come out looking like well...eggs. They're supposed to, aren't they? This one, however, stretches that definition with its red crisscrossing strips almost like the egg has been woven together. The strips appear to be held tight together, but with gaps of black between, as if the gaps are a window into the egg itself. One almost expects to see a dragon claw or snout pressing in those gaps. Or perhaps even a whirling eye. Luckily the black parts are just an illusion though, or the dragon inside would never make it. Personality: From the get go Shacath will be a collector. Shiny things, pieces of her shell, pets or lovers for her lifemate, she wants to collect them all and she wants her lifemate to want to collect them all. She will keep things with her as much as possible, but failing that she will fill her wallow and lifemate's area with all her pretty prizes kept well organized and catagorized. She'll even insist that her lifemate write down what she has and where she keeps each item.
