Writer: Duskdog
Name: L'kayric
Pronunciation: Luh-KAY-ric
Age: 20
Birthday: m9 d3
Rank: Junior Weyrling
Location: Dragonsfall Weyr
Craft: Tanner
Craft Rank: Senior Apprentice
Physical Description of Persona:
Lakayric is fairly tall with a lean build. He keeps himself fit and clean and his clothes neat, as befits a craftsman and an aspiring dragonrider; he’s not afraid to get dirty, but there’s a time and place for it (and sitting at the dinner table, for instance, is not that place or time). He has dark, curly hair, brown eyes, and a fair-to-medium complexion spattered with freckles.
Emotional Description of Persona:
Lakayric is a stable, dependable young man. He has confidence in himself and a healthy sense of self-worth. He takes a lot of pride in a job well done and in making things _work_ by doing his part, carrying his fair share (and often more). For him, duty isn’t just an obligation; it’s a calling etched into every corner of his heart, something he bears with reverence. He believes in honesty and integrity and tries hard to live up to those ideals now that he’s a grown man who doesn’t want to approach life with the carelessness of youth anymore. His ideal self will shoulder any burden, help any friend, and face any fear if it means keeping his promise or doing the right thing, though in reality he doesn’t always hit the mark.
He has a lot of respect for rules and tradition, and cares deeply about how his actions reflect on his family, his (someday) Wing, and the Weyr, and unfortunately this sometimes puts him at-odds with his peers. He has a reputation for being a bit of a wet blanket, but he’s no prude or bootlicker -- he’s honestly just very concerned about consequences, and worries that others don’t consider them often enough, or think enough about how their behavior reflects on those they represent.
History of Persona:
Lakayric was born at Dragonsfall Weyr, another in a long line of weyrfolk, some riders and many not. His parents were distantly active in his life, but his paternal grandfather, L’gir, took a special interest in him, spending a lot of time with the boy whenever he was able. It was L’gir who instilled a sense of honor and pride in him, and who inspired him to try to follow in his footsteps as a rider. Lakayric apprenticed with the tanners at the Weyr because he doesn’t like to be idle, genuinely enjoys working with his hands, and doesn’t want to be caught unprepared or feel useless if his dragon never finds him, but he’s been standing at every Hatching since he was old enough, and desperately wants to be a dragonrider first and foremost. Two turns ago, L’gir gifted him a small firelizard egg to cheer him up about not Impressing, which hatched little green Mug.

Dragon's Name: Orysteth
Dragon's Age: 1
Dragon's Colour: Brown
Description of Dragon:
Orysteth is a tall brown, average in bulk but long of leg. His head is squarish and blocky, with a thick jaw and somewhat short headknobs. He looks a little bit unbalanced, actually, but somehow his posture makes up for it -- he seems very sure, and when he sits back on his haunches, he sits very straight, like a feline. His hide is a pale tan, the color of parched desert ground.
Patient and thoughtful, Orysteth isn't one to rush to judgment or allow himself to be overcome by emotion. He's a quiet optimist, a kind soul who seems to instinctively realize the power of a calm presence and the importance of providing safety and stability to those around him. His sense of authority comes not from snapping orders (though he certainly can), but from providing a steady example for others to takes cues and draw strength from. Make no mistake, though -- he _does_ carry himself with the self-assurance of someone whose authority is never in doubt in his own mind.
Pets
Mug, Green Firelizard: aged 2, hatched m1 d12
Next Mating Flight: m8 d17 of turn 12
Mug is a dainty firelizard with a spring green hide. She is very much a cuddlebug, and prefers to drape on or near L'kayric when she's able. He's had good success training her, and she's fairly reliable with commands and overall just a well-behaved creature. As a hatchling, she was small enough to curl up inside of recently-drained klah mugs to soak up the warmth -- hence, her name.
