Name: Filion, formerly F'lion
Age: 21
Rank: Former Dragonrider
Gender: Male
Personality: F'lion is very easy-going and congenial, and is a type to give second chances. But if you do something seriously offensive to him or his dragon, he'll shut you out of his life. He's not dumb, but isn't the smartest. However, when it comes to making snap decisions, F'lion exceeds. He is very confident that he can succeed in anything he wants, so when he is giving a job he doesn't stop it until it's finished. In other words, he does what he is told to. Most of the time. F'lion has a bit of an unusual hobby- he collects eggshells. Although the collection is mostly bird's eggs, a couple of firelizard's and wher's, there are a couple of magnificent dragon egg pieces from after hatchings. The collections is carefully and delicately treated, and resides in his weyr in seperate little metal boxes.
Appearance: His brown hair is wavy, and stops at the top of his ears. He spends alot of his time outside and usually has a tan and slight sunburn on his shoulders, and his hair lightens the more time he spends outside. His face wears an easy smile almost constantly, making some of wonder if it is glued on there. F'lion's nose is small and short, and somewhat freckled, and his eyes are carmel colored. For his height, 6'1", F'lion is somewhat tall, and carries himself with a confident air. He has good posture and manners.
Knowledge: As afor mentioned, F'lion isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but isn't the dullest by a long shot. Average intelligence, really. His strong points are any types of eggs and wing formations, threadfighting, etc.
History: Before becoming a Candidate at Star Crystal Weyr, F'lion grew up in Thallion Hold in a minor hold so tiny that it had never been Searched before. He lived on a farm with seven siblings, two older sisters and the rest younger brothers, except the youngest, a baby girl. Being the oldest boy, he usually had to help his father with running the farm, while his older sisters helped his mother weave. Both the blankets and plants brought in a tidy profit each year, enough to support their family but still a little left over to save.
For the first time ever, the little hold was Searched by Tiryl Weyr, and both Filion and his brother Jeston were picked to become Candidates. The Searchers stayed overnight as the villagers threw a going away party for the brothers. The next morning they left between on a Blue Searchdragon. Both were awed by the Weyr...they'd never seen so many dragons or a place so huge. Jeston (then 14 Turns) decided he wanted a Bronze dragon, and Filion (then 16 Turns) wanted a blue, but they quickly realized that you can't just order any color you want.
Sooner than later, a junoir queen clutched 23 eggs. All Candidates were impatient for the arriving Hatchling, and the Gold egg, but the eggs hardened even more slowly than usual. So the Candidates tried to relax and get rid of their stress, but all was in vain. Finally a Hatching hum flowed across the Weyr (and right in the middle of a boring Candidate Preparation lecture, too), and all the Candidates struggled to get on their robes before rushing to the burning Hatching Sands.
To shorten the anxiety and hot, long afternoon that followed, I'll shorten this and say that J'ston and F'lion both Impressed, but J'ston to the Blue F'lion wanted and F'lion to the Bronze J'ston craved. In the end, both were too tired with the Weyrling Training to ever obsess about it, and both had learned that any drgaon was a blessing within it's self.
F'lion after Graduating, transferred to the newly discovered Shining Sun Weyr. When the plague hit, Demimnoth was among the first to die, and Filion has felt lost since.
Deceased
Dragon: Bronze/Earth Demimnoth
Dragon Age: 3 Turns
Appearance: Demimnoth looks a little odd. Although his body is the right size, his wings are too big and his tail too long, and his neck is slender. His hide isn't really bronze, it's more of a metallic gold-amber that darkens on his underbelly and tail, and lightens to a metallic cream on his head and back. He used to be teased by his siblings, especially J'ston's Vedth, for his strange appearance.
