Physical Description of Persona:
Like many of his his siblings, apart from his amber brown eyes, Lemhask may as well be a spitting image of his father. Apart from his eyes, and his height. While his family typically towers over the rest of the world, Lemhask has already reached his adult height at a measly five feet, four inches. He still sports curly dark brown hair with hints of auburn red and freckles that appear with the sun. He takes as much pride as he can in his bulk. He is solid, and building muscle and definition has come easily to him.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Lemhask has only the tiniest of chips on his shoulder about his height. Watching his siblings -- especially his closest brother Merhaskel -- sprout and surpass him, has left him feeling somewhat inadequate. However, he has taken solace in his ability to put on muscle, and it has helped him gain some amount of confidence without which his temper might have gotten away with him when it comes to teasing about his height.

About that temper... While Lemhask does not typically scream and shout, he has a glare that could burn forests if looks could kill. He is still practicing when it comes to witty barbs and repartee, but his mouth has gotten him in trouble more times than he can count. He has not been the type to start a physical fight ever since his mouth wrote the first check his fists could not cash, but growing up with Merhaskel, he has gradually learned to finish them-- especially now that his body has begun to supply the necessary muscle.

Lemhask puts on a greater air of confidence than he truly feels, but it has been a relatively adequate defense mechanism. The more he makes others think he knows what he is doing, that he is not afraid of anything, the more they refrain from picking on him.

History of Persona:
Lemhask's mother Melinka stood alongside her sister as a Candidate, but where Malaka managed to Impress her green and go on to become a rider, no dragon ever chose Melinka. It became a source of some tension between the two of them when she let T'mhas's gorgeous body get the better of her. Malaka and T'mhas could not stand each other, though a child kept them somewhat tethered to one another, and for a time Malaka was certain that bedding her sister was some kind of revenge for that, nevermind that she was the one who flight mothed him.

Truth be told, she did not particularly care for the man on a personal level, either, but there was just something about him (His height? His abs? All of the above?) that kept driving her to go back to the flight rooms time and again.

Of course, this eventually resulted in Lemhask. Malinka was not quite as doting a mother as her sister, and Lemhask grew up wishing that she would visit as much as Malaka and T'mhas did, that she would care for him as much as Malaka did for Merhaskal. But being as close in age as they were and half brothers as well as cousins (brousins?), Lemhask was as close to him as he was to his siblings.

Lemhask has always wanted to do everything Merhaskel does. And he has always been eager to prove that he _can_ do anything Merhaskel does. He even tried to convince the Weyrlingmaster (unsuccessfully) that he was a Turn older than he was so that he could Stand from the moment Merhaskel did.
