Candidates are individuals that stand for Impression when dragon eggs hatch.

What is Search?

Search is when a dragon determines if an individual has the potential to be a Candidate to Impress to a dragonet. Candidates who live at the Weyr may be allowed to stand by asking the Weyrwoman for Candidate status. Non-weyrbred Candidates need to be Searched by a Searchrider. Writers are encouraged to post about this process, but it is not required. Searchriders give suitable Candidates a token that is then presented to the Headwoman when the new Candidate is brought to the Weyr to live.

Candidate Ages

A candidate must be at least twelve and no more than twenty-one. Candidates ages 16-20 are given preference for Impression. In the case of a gold egg on the Sands, all candidates who want to be considered for it must be at least fifteen turns old.
