Weyrman S'tar
Aricat rkenagy@gmail.com

 

Common Knowledge: S’tar is 15, weyrborn, and the weyrman of Last Hope Weyr. He is the rider of Truth, the green queen of Pern. His world revolves first around his beloved Truth, and second around his mentor and now weyrmate, Perone. He is very sensitive to criticism of either. Otherwise he’s quite friendly and even-tempered.

Character Name: Santar

Birthdate (age): 3305 15 turns

Gender: Male

Birthplace: Southern Weyr
Current Location: Last Hope Weyr


Family: Mother – Cookie, headwoman, Last Hope Weyr
          Grandmother - Rosinda, head cook, Last Hope Weyr

Physical Description: S’tar is fairly tall, but lanky – his weight has yet to catch up with his height, in the typical way of teenaged growth spurts. This lends a to a somewhat ungainly appearance despite the fact that he actually moves quite gracefully. His hair is dark brown with reddish tints that appear in the right light, and his eyes are an equally dark brown. He is almost always smiling – a friendly, genuine smile that reaches his eyes. He tends to wear dark colors, and although he pays little heed to his clothing he seems to have a natural sense of style.


Personality: S’tar is first responsible and devoted to his work as weyrman. Beneath that, however, he’s easygoing and ready to befriend anyone. He does get moody before Truth rises, and his temper flares easily at any insult to Truth, Perone, or Last Hope Weyr. He is more mature than the average 15-turn-old, but the fact remains that he is a teenaged boy. Though friendly, he’s still somewhat awkward and uncertain of himself. Over the last three turns as Truth’s rider and under Perone’s tutelage he has gained some confidence, or at least learned to fake it, but is still settling into his new and unorthodox role as weyrman. He adores Perone, first as his mentor, but he is also beginning to find a romantic attraction to his weyrmate.


Though he enjoys many pursuits, lately his favorite pastime is to do nothing, relaxing with Truth and enjoying a quiet moment. These moments are few, of course, now that he has officially become the weyrman. He is always attentive to duty first, both from a sense of responsibility and because he hates to disappoint Perone.


He also enjoys socializing with the younger inhabitants of the weyr; the candidates and weyrlings, who are closer to his own age than most of the other riders. He still feels out of place among the older riders and leaders of the weyr, and is more at ease among his peers. Often he takes his laundry to the lake and does it himself, chatting with the candidates who are there on washing duty.


To the casual observer, he appears somewhat awkward but overall impressively mature and levelheaded. He tries not to show his uncertainties, knowing confident leadership is necessary to the weyr. It is only with Perone that he truly lets down his guard and expresses his insecurities.


History: S’tar was born in Southern Weyr to Last Hope’s headwoman, Cookie. This would be a surprise to most, as Cookie has never shown her son any preferential treatment that might mark him has different from the other weyrbrats. He was raised in the crèche with the other weyrbrats, and his childhood was nothing extraordinary. He had no particularly close friends, but his easy temper and his maturity made it easy for him to get along with most of the other children.


When S’tar was 12, after the move from Southern to Last Hope Weyr, Corath, rose for the last time and laid a single egg. Perone, now the weyrleader, hand-selected S'tar as the candidate for the egg and began training her protégé in earnest. S’tar remains uncertain why he was chosen, but accepted his new role willingly, eager for the chance to impress, and worked hard to learn all Perone could teach him.


Though most everyone met the hatching of a mere green with despair, Perone proclaimed the little hatchling the Green Queen Truth, the salvation of Pern. Though many scoffed, Perone never wavered in her support of the boy and his green dragon and S'tar grew to admire her and look up to her as his mentor as she continued tutoring him in his unorthodox role as weyrman. When S'tar was 15, Truth rose for the first time. She was caught by Perone's blue Wrath and – to the amazement of all – she clutched and laid a gold egg.



DRAGONRIDER INFORMATION
Dragonrider Rank: Weyrman

Honorific: S’tar

Dragon Name: Truth

Hatch Location: Last Hope Weyr

Age: Three turns

Color: Green (clutching)

Physical Description: Truth is on the small side even for a green, lithe and graceful. Her hide is sea-green, the color seeming to shift constantly in the light like the ocean depths. Even her movements are liquid; she is agile in flight and renowned for her aerial acrobatics.

Personality: Unlike either greens or golds, Truth is a category unto herself. She lacks the fickle flightiness of her color, but is not as self-important as most golds. Generally speaking, Truth has one mood: bliss. She is always friendly, optimistic and content. Of course she becomes moody before a mating flight, and is somewhat protective of her first clutch. Even with her clutch, though, she is not averse to visitors – merely watchful.
