Physical Description: V'rin is 6'2" and about 210 pounds and has a well-muscled and fit figure. He appears to be the epitome of a dragonrider, and well his family has come from the Weyrs for as long as he can remember. He has a tanned complexion and rather sharp features that give his face a rather hawklike and handsome appearance. He has closely cropped black hair, that is easy to maintain and to which he usually doesn't give a second thought. V'rin has an easy-going smile and it usually is what is gracing his face.

Personality: V'rin takes being a dragonrider rider very seriously, after all his family has been in the Weyrs for as long as he can remember. When out on rider duties he takes them seriously and thinks through any decisions before he makes them. When off-duty he's a genuine pleasure to be around, joking with the remaining riders and anyone else who comes to the weyr. He's generally cautious and doesn't do anything without thinking about the pros and cons of his actions. He doesn't anger easily but when he does watch out..he'll defend his beliefs to the bitter end. V'rin is a staunch ally to those he considers friends and will look out for anyone he comes across. He's got very good leadership skills and isn't afraid to take control of a situation if the need arises, but he is also just as willing to give advice and watch someone else put it into action.

History: V'rin is the epitome of a dragonrider through and through. He is the son of two dragonriders himself. His parents were riders at Fort Weyr before the plague began and decimated the ranks of the dragonriders. Unlike most weyrbred children who were usually put in the creche and were rarely looked after by their parents, V'rin and his siblings were raised by their parents. Suranna and V'gal were truely in love and it seemed to rub off on their dragons as well because Ellynth would never let any other than Kirneth fly her. V'rin's family was a bit odd by weyr standards but he enjoyed it. He learned all there was to know about the weyr and dragons very early in life and knew that when his time came he was going to be a rider as well.

Most of Vetorin's childhood was spent playing with other weyrbrats and getting into as much trouble as possible searching every nook and cranny of the weyr. When it came to finding out anything about dragons and thread he was all ears though and paid better attention than most to the person talking. Life was never dull in the weyr, and it was hard to be bored. It was only until the plague started taking its toll that things started to change in the weyr. Once the plague had made itself known at Fort it didn't take long for it to hit hard and the number of dragons and riders plummeted. The Weyrs were desperate for any clutches to hatch and Impress and survive. Vetorin was 16 when he was sent to the sands at Fort and it was there that he became V'rin when he Impressed the large brown dragonet that announced himself rather loudly as Hyrth. V'rin couldn't have been more excited or more scared for the plague was reaching its peak and he was deathly afraid that it might claim his new friend. Luck was with V'rin and Hyrth and his family as they managed to escape the ravages of the plague and headed to the Southern continent to escape the plague and the growing resentment of dragonriders.

Life at Southern was a bit different from Fort Weyr but V'rin and his young brown took to it like they were born there. The number of riders and dragons was smaller but that meant little to V'rin and he knew what needed to be done as a dragonrider. V'rin helped with organizing different parties in search of food and some more inconspicuous sorties that gathered information from the north. V'rin quickly became known as a reliable and trustworthy dragonrider who took his job and the welfare of the weyr very seriously. The whole structure of the weyr changed though when the Earthshake struck the weyr early one morning. V'rin had been awoken from his slumber when the ground started shaking and Hyrth had started shouting in his head. Hyrth had tried to warn others but there had just been too little warning. Hyrth had noticed his weyr collapsing and had stuck himself under the arch of the weyr to hold it long enough to let his rider and a couple of others who'd been in the hallways escape. The task had left Hyrth with scars on his back but none the worse for wear. when everything had settled the devastation was catastrophic, most of the dragons and riders were dead, including V'rin's family. v'rin didn't rest and helped unearth the bodies of some of his weyrmates and it was only when it was determined that there could not possibly be anymore survivors that the brown and his rider finally backed away, saddened and exhausted.

V'rin and Hyrth traveled with the others to the new weyr, V'rin was aware that he was one of the most experienced riders and gave his advice on what to do. When Truth, their remaining hope for dragonkind was flown by blue Wrath it was a most bitter pill for V'rin to swallow but he took it as a sign that maybe that was exactly what was needed right now at least to help dragonkind survive, and V'rin will do whatever he can to make sure that happens.


DRAGONRIDER INFORMATION
Dragonrider Rank: Wingrider or Wingsecond
Honorific: V'rin

Dragon Name: Hyrth

Hatch Location: Fort Weyr

Age: 12

Color: Brown

Physical Description: There is really one word for Hyrth...large. Hyrth is large for a brown and is actually the size of a bronze on the smaller side, approximately 46 m in length, with a wingspan of 56 m.Hyrth is a rich chocolate brown color. He has swirls of caramel weaving across is wings and haunches. Hyrth is well-proportioned and despite his size is rather quick and agile. His bulk does make him slower but he makes up for that with his wits and cautiousness. A couple of scars mar the browns back from where he helped prop up the ceiling of one of the weyrs to help his rider and others get out during the Earthshake.

Personality: Hyrth is a calm, level-headed dragon. He often seems to know what is going on in the Weyr before anyone else and if someone needs to know something in particular you can be certain that Hyrth would know the answer. Hyrth hates descension amongst the dragons and will do his best to avert any inner weyr problems by trying to soothe "ruffled feathers." Hyrth thoroughly enjoys his rider's good humor and will often carry on witty banter with his rider.Hyrth finds it unusual to be following a blue but he doesn't complain, after all it is for the good of the weyr. He knows there is some discension and he keeps his eyes and ears open to spot it. One thing he knows the Weyr does not need right now is internal trouble. Hyrth is a dragon that everyone looks up to and he takes his duties seriously, much like his rider.
