Name: N’kean (Neikean)
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Rank: Sr. Weyrling

Appearance: He's lanky, about 5'10", with more of his muscles concentrated in his legs than his upper body, due to the times his father sneaked him up onto a runner. N’kean's hair is cropped short and is a light brown, with a few highlights from all of his time in the sun. His eyes are just a little too big, and they're a deep brown color, almost passing for black when it's dim. N’kean has a heart-shaped face, a strong jaw. Signs of wear haven't appeared on his face yet, allowing him to keep a more boy-ish look still at nineteen. He is, however, tanned, with roughened hands and few scars from his various jobs.
Personality: N’kean is very easy-going. He is only competitive during drills (possibly fueled by Ruormith), but otherwise he’s all grins and laughs. He knows how to work hard, as a previous herder at Telgar Hold, but the boy also knows how to enjoy the fruits he harvests. N’kean is excellent with animals, and since coming to the Weyr he realized his empathy extends to humans also. He makes friends easily enough, and can easily strike up a conversation… but deep down he’s more than a little bit insecure about himself. Is what he thinks right? what do others think about him? are often things that run through his mind. However, he knows to keep his mouth shut about silly worries. If he needs to vent, it’ll only be to his closest friends.
History: N’kean was born to a family living comfortably enough, yet not lavishly, and is the youngest of four sons. Since his parents were often out working the fields at Telgar Hold, he was usually left at home with the second-youngest child, depending on him for food and whatnot. The older he got, the more that was expected of him. He finally got assigned to his own work, herding the various bovines and ovines his family was in charge of. N’kean found fun in work.
When N’kean was Searched, his parents were very uncomfortable due to empty nest syndrome. He was about to decide to just stay home, but his oldest brother was able to convince the parents to let him go, having denied a previous Search himself. N’kean, normally used to being friends with people he was friends with his entire life, had a hard time transitioning at first, but found that his new friends became a real comfort. He’s now quite out-going, after all. The first time he stood on the stands he wasn’t selected, but he stayed for the next clutch and Impressed Ruormith then. The two proved to be a valuable asset to the Weyr, with their excellent teamwork and N’kean’s and Ruormith’s high empathy.
Pet(s): N’kean has a runnerbeast named Lina that he used for his work at the Hold. However, as a busy weyrling he has no time and has his family take care of her. He misses her a lot, but Ruormith is oftentimes insanely jealous. He knows it’ll be a while before he is ever, if at all, able to move her into the Weyr.

Dragon: Ruormith
Age: Half a turn
Color: Blue (B0E0E6)
Appearance: Ruormith is extremely small; about the same general size as a large green. However, the way he carries himself—often flying with bright, energetic eyes, and tail swishing about—shows that he has no insecurities with it. Tendrils of deep sky blue twist over his wingsails, fading out toward powder blue as the color reaches the rest of his body. The color over his snout, talons, and tail turns darker again into a slightly greenish blue. However, the colors of his hide fade and blend together wonderfully; to someone not scrutinizing the dragon, it’s difficult to tell when a color stops and when it ends. Ruormith has springy muscles, and quick reflexes. His smaller size gives him some of the agility that most greens boast of. Because of that, it is doubtful that Ruormith will get too many Thread scars, even when he’s assigned to a higher flying Wing in the Weyr.
Personality: Ruormith knows all. Really. Or at least… it’d seem so. The dragon picks up on other’s emotions quickly, even those not of his rider. He’s bold enough to sometimes speak to someone that’s not N’kean to comfort them—even though he knows the other person won’t be able to mind speak back to him. Ruormith, despite his age, is a solid rock to rest on. N’kean is often seen napping with him, Ruormith’s tail wrapped protectively around the boy’s frame. Ruormith can be very protective of N’kean, for that matter. For N’kean, he is the boy’s older brothers, guiding and pushing him along. The blue’s relation with the bigger colors is interesting also. Ruormith will swerve left if he wants to, even if the bronze told him to swerve right. But when scolded later, many find it hard to get mad at him. Ruormith is either very apologetic, So sorry, but it seemed like the best decision, and no one got hurt, right?, or acts clueless and very hurt. The scolders are normally stopped mid-sentence, and just storm off in the other direction. The blue is very smart.
Other: After graduating, Ruormith will likely be a Searchdragon along with his rider.
