GREEN WEYRLING A'GUST

Persona : A'gust
Writing Status : NPC/Owned
Age : 20
Gender : Male
Rank/Craft : Weyrling (TEW:38-1)/Journeyman Harper
Residence : Thread's End Weyr

Physical Description : No one knows exactly what color skin A’gust originally had, except perhaps his parents. His pallor hints at once being a very light resemblance to skybroom wood but so much time inside has paled him down to the color of weak tea. Dark brown eyes that appear black more often than not are complemented by a shag of black hair that hangs just below his shoulders when it is loose from its well-kempt queue. A bright smile forces already upward slanting eyes even more at an angle, thick lashes resting on his cheeks. His frame is slender but taut muscles keep him from seeming too thin.

Personality : Considered handsome by most, A’gust is far too immersed in his music to primp or preen for his admirers. Introspective and soft spoken, it often comes as a surprise to others on the rare occasion when A’gust opens his mouth to sing, a pure clear voice emerging that can carry to the back of even the largest hall. He has a hard time overcoming his shyness, especially when meeting new people and is content to spend most of his time in his room, practicing his singing and composing ballads. As a rider he is competent but perhaps a bit flighty, his head too full of tunes to properly focus on his duties full time.

Life Story : Allegustin was born on Ruathan lands to Allestin and Segusia, members of a small hold that focused on runnerbeast breeding. Allegustin's birth was extremely hard on his mother and, when it became apparent that she would be unable to bear more children, both parents lavished love and attention on their only son. Early on it became obvious that their child was meant for more than caring for runners. At the age of four he picked up a pipe and began to play basic tunes, his tiny fingers easily manipulating the holes. By six he had become accomplished at the gitar and on his eighth birthingday he presented his proud parents with his first ballad. His soprano voice was so enchanting that he drew the attention of the masterharper stationed at Ruatha Hold. Master Pavori took the promising lad under his wing and taught him as much as possible in the three Turns they were together.

When he came of age to begin an official apprenticeship, he was sent to the Harper Hall where he was immediately inducted and set on a course of independent study. The Turns passed quickly as he buried himself in his music, his main focus on singing, becoming a favored student of Mastersinger Drusylja. When the ailing woman transferred to the new Harper Hall at Thread's End Hold, Allegustin followed. Puberty hit almost immediately thereafter and everyone concerned was relieved when his voice settled into a beautiful alto. His promotion from apprentice to Journeyman was a mere formality a few Turns later and since then has been in constant demand from Holders who wanted the best to sing at their Gathers and special occasions.

Then, at Thread's End Hold's Gather in the 38th Turn, Allegustin befriended M'der and Danara, who Searched him but understood when the devoted harper declined in favor of continuing his craft. However Tarstol, a drudge whom Allegustin had a vague relationship with, took the harper's friendship with M'der as something more and violently attacked Allegustin in a jealous rage. The singer's throat was irrevocably damaged and, as his career was so abruptly cut short, he accepted Danara's offer and became a Candidate of the clutch on the Sands of Thread's End Weyr. Immersed in a mire of depression, Allegustin never expected to Impress and didn't particularly care either way. To his surprise he did, a small green beauty whose bonding pulled the ex-harper out of his fugue and made him realize that his future held more promise than he ever thought possible after his injury.

Dragon's Name : Mirath
Dragon's Colour : Green
Dragon's Age : 1
Sire/Dam : Bronze Dredeth/Gold Portiath
Rider's Age at Impression : 19

Physical Dragon : Born a rather dainty size, Mirath is a mottled green, bright and intense in hue. Perhaps most likened to the color of green glass when light shines through it, her skin bears no marks or imperfections as of yet.

Dragon's Personality:While her rider is rather introspective, Mirath is anything but. The term 'chatty' doesn't even begin to convey the dragonet's tendency to rattle on to those around her. Upbeat and full of excitement at all the new sensations each day brings, her antics bring a smile to the face of anyone who notices.
