Winter
Ninth Pass
Winter, Turn 2511
Months 1-3

A drought has lasted for more than a Turn in the Fortian region. Although cold, the weather remains dry, with very little snowfall. The water-level in the lake is low, and the lower caverns are now rationing non-essential water (for bathing, laundry, et cetera).

« on: May 22, 2013, 04:04:29 PM »
After some thought, I have decided to step down as staff and become just a player here at M&L. Real Life has been kicking my A** for some months now and I feel like I have been letting you guys down.  I will be sticking around as a player so don’t worry, I am not going anywhere.

So it appears that something on the site has triggered our web block at work (it is calling it a game site) so I have even less assess to the site than before.  Between phone and goggle Docs I can type posts but most likely not be able  to post them until I get home.

So I have found myself not able to do any of the really large group threads at this very moment.  So would anyone like to do some do a thread or two with D'ren.  They can be one on one or with D'ren and two other people.

It is two weeks until finals with my master classes so they are hitting me up hard right now with work.  I spent all day Sat working on a paper and I still have like 3 more to do. I am still planning on posting in my spare time during the day, but late nights and weekends I might not be around as much.

Thanks for making a(nother) character with us!

Make sure you add this character to the Face Claim post.  If this is a dragonrider character, you can also add your dragon to the dragon size chart.

And don't forget about Thread Roulette and the open RP listings at the top of the index page!

You'll want to take care of a few things now.  First, go to the Face Claim post and post your played-by/face claim.  If this is a dragonrider character, you can also add your dragon to the dragon size chart.

You'll also probably want to go to the Plotting forum to rummage around for threads.  You can also introduce your self over at the Introductions thread.

And, of course, join the roleplay!  You may want to join Thread Roulette if you're looking for a quick way to get random threads, or join any of the open threads listed under "Roleplay" at the top of the index page of the forum.

Tariya (starts) and Saiyah are no longer candidates which mean that no longer have candidate chores to do, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have to be helpful in some way.  Being wise as she is Jilenna has given posted a list of positions in the weyr that need extra help. It just so happens that both of the girls are in the room when the list is posted.

P'tai (starts) has just gotten off of watch duty on the rim.  After a few long hours in the sun, nothing sounds better than a dip in the nice “cool” lake.  It just so happens that Elsa and Tizaketh have made the long trek out to the lake.  Would you know it? The two seem to be at the same place at the same time.

There you are!  The busy, buoyant brown had found his intended, the one for whom he had been searching, and came to a stop to look up at Elsa.  His eyes went from worried to placid almost at once, his tail twitching with a calm that had been missing since the moment he broke shell.  Pushing closer to her, his muzzle butting against her hip affectionately, the bond of Impression was as physical as it was emotional: a warm swirl of easy comfort, like snuggling down beneath a familiar quilt, blotting out all feeling but the downy coziness.  That was what it was to be paired suddenly and irrevocably to the frenetic mind of Tizaketh.  Tizaketh's my name, Elsa, and we've found each other!  There's so much to see, so much to do, we'd better get started, my Elsa.




...dragon name...
Tizaketh

...dragon color...
Brown / #542100

...dragon clutch...
Zynkawraith x Mirkath - Turn 2510, Turn 2 of the Ninth Pass

...physical description...
Template by VagabondSentinel, color by Oracle
Rippling shades of velvet brown give a warm, glossy look to this handsomely formed dragon.  Although narrow of build, Tizaketh's slenderness is not the weak and skinny variety, but instead the quick and sleek variety, so that his length and his suppleness make him appear arrow-quick in motion, even when completing slower maneuvers.  While he may not have the stamina of a bulkier brown, he definitely has the agility that they lack, despite topping out at the upper end of the length spectrum.  His hide is visibly smooth, gorgeously glistening in deep, burnished browns that glint almost glassily when the light hits him just right.  Mottled almost from muzzle to tail, his variegated coloration enhances the sense of kinetic energy that his sleek form embodies, as does a tendency to be almost always in motion - a twitch of his tail, the flick of his wings, the whirl of his eyes, he is not an indolent being, clearly.

...final length...
36.5 feet

...personality...
Bold where Elsa is shy, daring where she is retreating, Tizaketh may prove a challenge for his rider.  And he may equally prove a reward for her, ever full of goodwill and certainty to drive away any vestiges of self-doubt harbored within his chosen.

Tizaketh wants to go, go, go.  He wants to explore, understand, and experience things.  From the moment that he tumbles out of his egg until the last breath that he draws, he will be pushing to know more, do more, see more.  It gives him the sense of being flighty and unfocused, but it's really more that he appreciates the wonder in the world around him, finding fascination in everything, from the minutiae to the macroscopic.  The world, for this brown, is more than just an oyster: it's a whole sea of oysters, and he would love to test them all.

While this will certainly prove a help to someone as shy as Elsa, it may - at times - prove a hindrance.  Tizaketh doesn't like to sit still.  In weyrling lessons, he wants to put his theory into practice.  As a wingrider, he wants to be at the forefront.  When it comes to mating flights, he wants to win them all.  It's this latter which, of course, means that the two of them are in for a world of trials and tribulations, for - although quick - he is not a strategist, and will lose often.

Thankfully, Tizaketh has a remarkably short memory.  They say that dragons forget easily and often, and that's definitely true for this brown.  Perhaps that's part of why the world is so full of life and wonder: it's like he's seeing it anew so often, everything fresh and enervating.

The term "chatterbox" will undoubtedly get employed to refer to Tizaketh on a regular basis.  He happily talks to any and every dragon that will listen, sometimes even when they've made it plain that they'd rather he just shut up.  Tact is not his forte, and he misses social cues that others might notice, even when it refers to Elsa.  Secrets just don't stay secrets for long, once he gets ahold of them.

With the best of intentions and a truly warm heart, it's unlikely that anyone would ever truly hold anything against Tizaketh.  At the very least, even when he makes a faux pas, he does it with charming exuberance.  And that's what Elsa will no doubt feel the most from him: excitement, delight, and endless joy at their pairing.

I have two characters you might have some connections too.

1. Nydia - Currently: Greenrider, Formerly: Journeyman Healer.  She might have been one of her teachers at the Healer Hall.  She was known for being driven and probably was one of those teachers you apprentices hated and talked bad about behind their backs. 

2. Julianya - She is the daughter of the former Fort Lord Holder and currently a Journeyman Healer.  I most likely going to have her assigned to the Weyr soon so she can get some more action.
