BRONZE RIDER Q'REMOS

Persona : Q'remos
Writing Status : NPC/Free
Age : 40
Gender : Male
Rank/Craft : Bronze Rider, Wingsecond TEW/UFHW
Residence : Thread's End Weyr

Physical Description : At just six feet, Q'remos is stocky and broad-shouldered, but his bulk is muscle rather than fat. With thick black hair and a deeply tanned face seamed with creases from turns of squinting into the sun, the bronze rider is an imposing figure. His chill blue eyes can bore a hole into an errant wingrider, reducing him instantly to weyrling status, if only in the underling's own mind.

Personality : Q'remos' actions are quick and decisive, as befits a bronze rider and wingleader, a position he's held for the last ten turns. He's not a braggart, nor is he unfairly demanding of his wingriders, but he has unquestioning confidence in himself, and he expects nothing but a full measure of effort from every rider-dragon pair who flies with him.

If Q'remos has a failing, it is that he wears his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't chase women, but when one catches him, he falls hard, often assuming a relationship to be more serious than his heart-captor intended. When the inevitable breakup occurs, he becomes morose and withdrawn for days until something or someone finally manages to pull him back up by his bootlaces.

Life Story : Q'remos came south with his parents to Southern Hold when it was established at the beginning of the Pass and spent his first ten turns there. With the founding of Thread's End Weyr the little family migrated eastward with other families in a small caravan of people who would act as the new Weyr's support staff, manning all the tasks necessary to keep it running smoothly and the dragonriders flying.

There was little time for formal training or any of the luxuries taken for granted at an established Weyr during those early days, and so he never apprenticed. He was kept too busy lifting, toting, delivering, hunting, skinning, butchering, and any of a number of other tasks that always seemed to be in high demand. But it was with a great deal of pride that the hard-working lad found himself Searched by a young green dragon and stood for the first clutch on the sands of the new Weyr.

He didn't go away disappointed.

Dragon's Name : Wanth
Dragon's Colour : Bronze
Dragon's Age : 25
Sire and Dam : Tenroth/Mirdith
Age of Rider at Impression : 15

Dragon's Description : Wanth is a good-sized bronze, well muscled with a broad wingspan. His hide is a deep, rich color with a patina of darker highlights, broken only by a spinner-web of scars along his left flank, acquired over turns of fighting thread.

Dragon's Personality : A no-nonsense bronze with a somewhat inflated opinion of himself, Wanth is a good match for his rider and as often as not is the one who pulls Q'remos out of his doldrums after a failed love affair.
