Adamina
Name: Adamina
Age: 14 turns (Age has been changed for candidacy XP))
Gender: Female
Flitts: Marr(Blue), Saka(Green) and Pearl(Green)
Dragon: N/A
Appearance: Adamina's hair is long, it's a honey brown color, almost to her waist and it's very curly. She usually keeps the mass of smooth curls in a long braid that makes her thin face look even more dainty and innocent than it started out to be.
Her eyes are a light brown, usually crinkled at the edges with a smile, even if the smile doesn't appear on her normally severe face. Sometimes when she becomes angry her eyes seem to darken and become clouded, but really it's just her expression, the eyes don't change at all.
Her skin used to be very white and freckled but after moving to the South for a year and spending a lot of time outside it darkened her considerably, while lightening her hair, which used to be a much darker shade of brown.
She is small it is true, and thin. One might go so far as to call her a child if looked at from behind but from the front her full figure suggests nothing of the sort. She may only be four and a half feet tall, but don't underestimate her kick. One blow to the shins from those powerful legs and you'll be sitting for a few days to ease the pain.
Her hands are small and dainty, quick. You might not notice if she slipped a bit of old wherhide into your pocket because the second you turned around those thin little joints would be clenched around the stylus again writing furiously.
Personality: Yes, she is small, yes her face does look innocent, but underestimate this woman and you'll be in a heap of trouble. Strong willed but usually silent Adamina will go to very extreme means sometimes to get things to work her way. She is stubborn but may put on an act of giving up and submitting. Don't be fooled, later she'll strike where you least expect it.
She has a way of persuading men to do her bidding, it doesn't work so well with women, they seem to see through the act, but she has figured out that flattery will work on anyone.
Don't be upset by all her cunning and arrogance however. Most of the time she's downright pleasent, ready to make friends with anyone, rank unheeded. She lives for socialization and men, she'll get bored easily if there's no one around.
When she's alone she'll not stay in a room by herself. Her mother always said she was very clingy, Adamina always said her mother was too naggy.

Chinchillie
Pernese name:
Tallemon
Age:
14 Turns
Personality:
If any word were used to describe his nature, it would be this: irrepressible. Despite dire warnings that recklessness or lack of courtesy can easily turn of a dragon, that he'll never get anywhere with status even if he does manage to grow up in several hundred Turns, etc., etc., its still one of the more difficult tasks to get him under control. Talle acts like he's king of Pern. He's a showoff, a mischief maker, and a good actor when need be; probably the only time he can be called courteous is when approached by a much higher authority. And, like most people with his attitude, disillusion will put him off completely. He's not used to being ignored or pushed aside.
Strangely though, in combination with the wild spirit, is an intelligent temperance that sometimes interferes with his problematic behavior. This softer side can make him moody instead of reckless. Is that an improvement or not? Even he can stand to sit alone sometimes and brood alone and in quiet. Just not that often. wink
Appearance:
A laid back life is reflected in Tallemon's appearance, in skin fair without much muscle underneath and palms that have only known the rigors of riding, not the roughness needed for the plow nor pick. His body build leans more comfortably into the range of sturdy rather than thin, yet would almost never hold up well in a fight; he'd probably end up running for it, which wouldn't be too hard. He isn't strong, but he's quick. Hair naturally a dark dirty blond - made, artistically put, darker by 'sand deficiency' - falls every which way, into his eyes, always so messy, but the look fits him in a way. His eyes, when you actually get the chance to look, are a dark hazel, green highlights prominent. They're his worst enemy, because they, as does a subtle smile, often give him away during a lie. Thankfully, only his family has learned to look for the clues.
Fire lizard:
Gold Fargalow. She was really named Faranth at birth, and answers quite readily to either name; rather a good reason to stop swearing in her company. She's your typical gold, always ready to show off, but has her pride. That and a love for food. Even at full growth she has the appetite of a hatchling, and then some! Tallemon Impressed her when his family's hold was visited by traders. They promised to try and secure a clutch for the family, and ended up delivering a half dozen eggs to them from a gold's clutch; the rest were to others along their trail. Talle got Fargalow while his sister Impressed three, {a bronze and two greens} and their mother was left with the one that turned out to be a blue.
Origin:
Tallemon is not of Harper background, though the Hall is where he currently resides. Instead he is originated from a hold down in the southern part of the Northern continent, in the lands between Fort Weyr and Southern Boll, whom they are beholden to. In the way of holds, it's very small - but the people there are talented, and the hold itself has a specialty of raising good runnerbeasts, which are herded to nearby holdings and sold to wagon trains passing by in exchange for supplies or lizard eggs from the coast.
Talle was sent to Harper Hall to try and hone a blossoming aptitude for instruments, which were one of the only sources of entertainment in the hold save for caring for runners. Since he was never very good in that aspect his family decided he'd be better off there. Kinda flattering...but kinda not, eh?

Username: A Burning Hope
Pernese name: Hope
Age: 17 Turns
Flits: None
Dragon:None
Location: Harper Hall
Background: Left on the doorstep of a tiny family Holding, Hope was taken in by Cailyn, the lady of the Hold. Her husband Ronil was furious when he came home from the fields that evening, complaining of having another mouth to feed (as they already had 2 sons of their own: Garan, and Lor). But Cailyn was firm, and her new "daughter" stayed.
Eleven Turns later, Cailyn died of a fever. Having grown to share their father's ways, Garan and Lor took great pleasure in standing by Ronil's side as he announced that if Hope wanted to stay she would have to work for them, as their drudge. Having nowhere to go, she stayed for 6 Turns, which to her felt like an eternity of endless misery.
Then, one evening, a traveller stopped and requested shelter for the night. As Hope served dinner, the stranger stared at her. Made uneasy by the look, she tried to avoid him as much as possible that evening. Later that night, however, she was awakened when someone picked her up and threw her over their shoulder. She found that while she'd been sleeping, she'd been bound and gagged, and there was a sack over her head to prevent her from seeing anything. Completely helpless, she was taken outside, and carried away on a fast runnerbeast. Hours later, they stopped. Removing the sack and allowing her to lay by the warmth of a fire, the stranger covered her with a blanket and told her to sleep--they had a lot of travelling to do on the morrow. She waited until she was sure that he was sound asleep, then quietly sat up and reached for her hidden bootknife. With a bit of fumbling, she finally managed to saw through her bonds. She backtracked the trail for a bit, then switched over to a runner trace. The morning found her safe in a runnerhold.
Surprised by the condition of the girl and her incredible story, the stationmaster sent for a healer, who showed up three days later to take her to the Healerhall.
That was two sevendays ago. Now, she is recovered, and staying at the Harper Hall. She sees dragons in the sky occasionally, and wonders what it would be like to Impress one.

Pern name: Selene
User name: Arawath
Age: 18 turns
Dragon (after Impression): None
Flits: None
Pets: One black cat, female, by the name of Remhi.
Current Location and status: The Harper Hall, apprentice
Physical Description: Although her brown hair is shoulder-length, not many people know it since she keeps it tied up most of the time. Her height is about 5'5", but she often seems taller on account of her relatively slim figure. Her eyes are dark and her complexion neutral, neither tanned nor extremely fair. Her muscle tone is lacking somewhat though her flexibility is tolerable, and she has made it her personal goal to condition her body. Overall she comes across as a delicate girl, pretty perhaps, but not beautiful or gorgeous; she is someone who is easily forgettable or underestimated, a fact she finds agreeable because it allows her to observe without being observed and act without being bothered.
Personal Description: Though her features would suggest it, Selene is neither timid nor demure. Because she rarely finds a reason to be rebellious, she goes with the flow of things, something falsely construed as submission. By nature she is practical and tolerant, and her people skills are brilliant because of this: her empathy allows her the greatest extent of diplomacy as well as the ability to understand the perspective of any and all walks of life. To put it briefly, she is laid back and calm, a person who is not used to interpreting things or people as 'good' or 'bad:' they simply 'are.'
Background: Selene was born and raised in a minor cothold beholden to Lemos. Her father was a woodcraftsman at the Woodcrafthall, and manufactured anything ranging from furniture to farm equipment to bows and spears. Because of this, she naturally developed a talent with wood, which was encouraged with her parents' enthusiasm. Her mother was the resident harper of the region, and thus music was also a substantial part of Ara's childhood. Though her singing talent was average and her ability with most instruments was only passable, her love of the gitar as well as her passion for making instruments led her parents to agree that an apprenticeship at the Harper Hall was only natural. Her excellent people skills, when applied to her craft, would also make her a good teacher.
Interests/Pastimes: Nearly all of Selene's time is devoted to her craft: she loves music, but it does not come naturally to her and she has to work doubly hard to achieve the necessary finess. Though she is required to learn how to play all the Hall's instruments, she remains interested only in the gitar and violin. However, when it comes to their manufacturing she is devoutly interested, and attacks her work with a voracious appetite for new knowledge and an unforgiving attention to precision and detail.
Likes: solidarity, tranquil peace and quiet, solving problems that need to be solved, being outdoors (can feel claustrophobic in closed-in spaces, but it is a matter of discomfort rather than fear), seeing new places, playing her instruments.
Dislikes: ignorant/uncompromising people, hot weather
Fears: tunnelsnakes

User Name: BornInBlood
Pernese Name: Lasander Sidecross
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Position: Harper Hall
Rank: Resident/Labor((Hopefully Candidate soon. xp ))
Dragon: Currently N/A
Appearance: A strapping young man, impressive enough of stature and rather strong from hauling in nets all the day. He stands at a good 6'1, with broad shoulders, a narrow chest and waist, and long limbs. Luckily, the effect does not make him look awkward or lanky, but rather more lithe and agile. His skin is rather pale, despite his work beneath sun and he tendency to be found outside, and a few scars are placed here and there over his body, the most significant one running diagonally over his right eye. Said eyes are very dark, brown, but appearing black if not in a very bright light, and often sparkling with humor. His hair is black, reaching to his waist in waves, the ends making pleasant curls. He is not quite expressive when it comes to features, but his smile is quite pleasant and brightens up his usually stoic features with ease.
Personality: Not known for being exactly talkative or outgoing, but never called reclusive. Polite when he speaks, unless in a rather short or sarcastic mood that day. He is quite open with his opinions, and that can frustrate people, but he never compromises his personal feelings and is rather passionate in their expression and defense. Not a specifically dull person, he has a light sense of humor and a slightly contagious laugh. A temper that is nearly possible to awake, and hard to slake if it has been. However, he is not unreasonable, and will listen to all sides, consider all angles. He has a slight weakness for helping those in need, and is a rather zealous defender of those he considers to need it.
Flits: Green Victoria. A lazy creature, Victoria tends to little but perch on his shoulder and watch things go by. Mischievous if feeling rambunctious, the little flit is all too much a trouble maker, and nearly impossible to keep in line unless by Lasander himself.
Likes: Victoria, Cold, Water, Shade, Reading, And Curls
Dislikes: Loud Noises, Obnoxious People, Dirty People/Places, Excessive Heat, Bright Lights

Pern name-- Akai Bara
User name-- catgirl_akai_bara
Flits- One His name is Kopi
Kopi had been the runt of his group of eggs. When the nest had been found, his egg had been smaller than the rest. Akai had not actually been there to impress, she'd been there to clean up after they were gone. However, Kopi did managed to hatch but the others ignored him in favor of the stronger flits that were hatching. Akai felt sorry for the poor thing, weak looking and alredy a bit chilled from fresh hatching. She'd stepped foward and before either of them quite realized it impression had happened. With much care and attention to him Kopi is now much stronger than he had been at birth. Though he still tires easily. He's usually found resting on Akai's shoulder, watchign the world go by. He's ferircly defensive of Akai.
Dragon (after Impression)--None at this time. I"ve not yet proven I'll last long enough to make candidate.
Apperence: Akai has odd greenish colored hair. It lays just over her shoulders, because Kopi has developed a like of drawing the hair around him (almost like a nest) when he rests on her shoulder. She's 5'5" and has lightly tanned skin. Her hair when Kopi isn't on her shoulder is pulled back into a band, that can be taken out easil. Her eyes are a blue color with flecks of gold in them. Her body is slender, but not scrawny. She's used to working in the halls, or the feilds or the orchards, sort of not minding anyplace she goes at all, and she's always willing to learn something new.
Personality-- Akai is a bit shy and mild manored, though curious about many things. Though if somone threatens Kopi, she'll defend him as fericly as he defends her. (Mostly that happened early on when he was still very weak and nearly unable to defend himself) She's always willing to learn somethign new no matter how difficult the task is. It gives her a great sence of self worth to complete something that she's jsut been taught. She's very shy around males, uncertin of herself she'd just as soon be alone than be near them, simply because she's not entirely sure how to respond to them at most times. So she tries to fade into the background usually when males are around, leavig any others that are there to entertain them properly.
Background-- Akai is an orphan. At the age of 5 she and her parents had gone on a 7 day fishing trip as a celebraton of her 5th birthday. On the actual day Thred fell from the skies. Akai had been under the deck and her parents had warned her in just enough time (they had told her what to do before hand just incase) that she got off the ship and into the water. She didn't duck quite quickly enough and on the back of her head near the center is a score burned in a almsot perfect circle where no hair at all grows. After the thread had passed she removed herself from the water. The ship they had been on was almost fully sunk. She waited on the shore where her parents had pointed out for almost 3 days before she realized her parents were not coming out of the water. She went back to the town and started over.
Intrests/Pasttimes-- Akai when she has free time can usually be found studying the tapestries. Or outside walking exploring and visiting all the crafthalls trying to hear how something is done simply being curious. She also enjoys just spending hours alone thinking or with Kopi.

1. Jealel
2. Jealel
3. Flits: None
4. Dragon: None
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Appearance: Tanned skin, out of control Auburn hair, sky blue eyes, well toned musclerature(sp), broad shouldered, 5 ft tall, normal sex appeal...
History: A wondering trader set out to make something of himself. A little rough around the edge's and a fair temperment makes him somewhat difficult to get along with, but once you get a chance to know him the roughness wears off a bit and you get to know the real Jealel.
Jealel grew up traveling with a caravan of traders, and learned the trade quite well. He soon became lead trader in the troup and only at the age of 19. Quite skilled with cutlery, along with knife fighting, it wasn't uncommon for rival caravan's, or thieves to show up and try to steal the heard beasts that Jealel's caravan was known for delivering.
He got into many scraps while he was young that left him with a few scares. One across his chest, starting from under his right breast and ending at his left collarbone. Another along his upper right arm running along his right shoulder to his shoulder blade. The last one on his left side, only a few inches long.
Due to these many attacks plus the care over his entire caravan, he has had practice in medicine and healing. Delivering healthy children to their parents, setting broken bones, and curing the sick are among his skills. Although not a master in this art, he was regarded by his whole caravan as the most skilled out of them all. A few other healers were also in this group/family and they all learned from eachother, there healing skill.
A few good friends among the troup followed him when others would not into the Fort Weyr. Gnot, a childhood friend; Vapur, another childhood friend and on and off sweetheart; And Borto, an old loyal friend of his fathers. He swore an oath to take care of the little Jealel when his father passed away due to some mysterious causes.
((more to follow, as I know what is going on sweatdrop ))

Pern name: Tikal Amaron
Played by: Opaaru
Flits: (2) Bronze named Glint, and a Blue named Lapis
Pets: 1 feline (Chiri), 1 runner (Onyx)
Dragon: N/A
Background:
Tikal lived with her family which includes her parents and her smaller brother, Esres. For the past five years, her father led a merchant caravan named after their family transporting goods throughout the eastern part of the northern continent. Their route begins at Nerat moving north to Benden Hold and Bitra before heading south to the plains of Keroon. Then up towards Lemos zig zagging through Ingen and Telgar.
It is rumored that the Amaron were once thieves that robbed traveling merchants. Their fighting skills, and knowledge of the terrain helps promote the holder's suspicions. But despite the wary glares they receive at every stop, the Lord Holders look upon them as a valuable commodity.
Tikal spent the early portion of her childhood caring for the watch whers and runners in the caravan. Because of her nomad lifestyle, she opted for the plain leggings and tunic of male attire. Her position as the daughter of the caravan's leader allowed her to obtain her two fire lizards at a very young age, as well as her own runner beast. Tikal's chores vary from tending to the watch whers' needs, to pest control (which she handles with help from the caravan's felines), or even bartering with the holders. Her mannerism and personality led many to mistake her for a boy. She is not without kindness, but isolation from regular hold-life and antagonistic behavior from people other than her travel companions has given her a hardened exterior. Tikal rarely bothers with pleasantries (unless it's business related). She is curt and to the point (time is money). If she dislikes something you will know it...immediately (the caravan must be efficient).
When Tikal was 17, she was searched while delivering cargo in Benden Hold. Although Tikal's leaving would be a serious loss to the caravan, her parents did not intervene. She was old enough to decide her own future. And so, after Tikal helped load the caravan for departure, she left for Benden Weyr. Esres was to take her place in the Amerons.
Appearance:
Tikal is of medium build and stands at 5'7". Her skin is suntanned with clever, sharp brown eyes which give everyone around her a feeling than she knows more than what she lets on. Her hair is jet black, a little past shoulder length, and usually tied back forming a knot in the back of her head. She inherited delicate features from her mother, but because of her work and manner, she is considered plain...hard working and intelligent...but plain. Nevertheless, because she is a merchant's daughter, she knows quality when she sees it and she is capable of making her self look pretty...but she figures it's not worth the trouble.

Pern name: Falinix
Age: 16 Turns
Appearance: Falinix rivals many turns older than him in height, standing at or just over six feet tall, and he may yet grow a few more inches. His shaggy dark, nearly black, hair often finds its way into his bluish gray eyes.
Personality: Charming and eloquent as any harper boy should be, though perhaps not as aggressive as others. Falinix proves to be dedicated to a fault, often pouring heart and soul into composition without regard for time or other duties, but is all in all extremly mindful of the tasks he must complete. Passionate for those pursuits in life he cherishes and open minded to those whimful ideas of others.

Username: Treyla
Pern Name: Treyla
Flits: Blue Ath
Dragon: none
Age: 17
Appearance: Her hair is red and wavy, always being caught in the wind. Deep set lime green eyes seem to shimmer with her light and airy personality. Her slender but muscled form is leath and quick, always being able to keep in step with the boys. Even though they don't like loseing to a girl, but what boy wouldn't? She is dressed in light flowing loose shirt and pants, as if made of silk. She appears to be almost devine if it weren't for her birthmark upon her left brow which resembles a bolt of lightning to some, and a jagged branch to others.
Personality: Full of energy and spunk. She makes friends easily and gets along with pretty much everyone. Though she get along better with females due to the fact that she sometimes overshadows most of the males she meets when it comes to endurance, this meaning she can outrun them all of course.
Background: Treyla was in a fairly well to do home and her father somewhat respectable. She didn't like this kind of life and her father constantly trying to marry her to any man that took interest in estate lead her to make up her mind.
With pleading from her mother and her fathers stern voice she took what she had on her back and just left. Though it was mostly due to her sexual orientation that made her father try to marry her off as soon as possible. She prefered woman more than men.
And it was this deciding factor that lead her to leave her home on a caravan going to Benden Weyr. She put all her hope into her blur flit Ath who went with her. Her future wasn't written in stone as her father wanted, she would make her own future! And she hoped Benden Weyr was that future.
