Description
Raven black hair and eyes nearly as dark stand out against D'kan's medium skin tones. He normally keeps his thick hair cut close, but when it gets a little long, it starts to take on a full and messy look. His high cheekbones lend to the almond shape of his eyes and can occasionally give his cheeks a slightly gaunt look. His slightly pointed chin and wide mouth give his face a mildly inverted triangle shape. A narrow and slightly upturned nose combine with small ears to give the young man a slightly impish cast, especially when he smiles.
D'kan's height seems to have settled just shy of six feet. He might have started out lanky, but he's started to fill out in recent turns, aided in development and toning by good old-fashioned manual labor, also evidenced in the thick callouses on his hands. His shoulders have started to take on a broad, rounded look, but the rest of his frame has remained long and lean.
WYSK
- D'kan started as Kaeden, a dock worker from High Reaches Hold.
- He came to the Weyr sometime shortly before Turnover, Turn 30, ostensibly to ensure some precious cargo made it safely from the Hold to the Weyr.
- He was asked by Azaylia to Stand for the combined clutches of Hraedhyth and Iesaryth. (D7 M1 T31 I10)
- D'kan impressed to Empires And Excess Brown Kazavoth of High Reaches Weyr. (D1 M4 T31 I10)
History
Kaeden spent all his life around High Reaches Hold, right up until he left for the Weyr. He is an only child of a fairly nondescript set of parents. His mother works in the laundry, his father is just a general handyman/worker. Not quite drudge levels, but not all that far above, either. As Kaeden got older, he started to develop into a fairly outgoing kid. He had no issues talking to perfect strangers, but more than that, he had a knack for getting perfect strangers to talk to him. He also found that his parents' work was beyond dull, so he started reaching out for something more interesting.
When Kaeden was a young teen, he started working on the Hold's docks. At first, he simply helped load and unload the ships and wagons as needed, but as he became more familiar with the work, he started helping out in some of the administrative tasks, too, like coordinating schedules, working with trader caravans, and organizing work crews. By the time he'd reached his later teens, he wasn't exactly second-in-command of the docks, but he was definitely becoming someone the dockmaster started to look to when something needed to be not just done, but done correctly and quickly.
When the divided leadership issues began to develop up at the Weyr, Kaeden's boss asked him to go... check it out, to put it nicely -- spy, less so. Itching for a change of pace (not to mention something to do that felt important), Kaeden went, arriving just in time for the Turnover party at the end of Turn 30. His cover story was that he'd come along with a shipment to see to its safety personally, then he just happened to stay for the party. Afterward, he was dragging his feet about finding a way back to the Hold when Azaylia asked him to stand. Well, he couldn't say no to that, now could he?
Just under three months later, Kazavoth found him near the end of the hatching. The rest of the story is still developing.
Relationships
- Aishani: She's been good to me. Good for me. That means more than a sharding name. Is she good for the Weyr? No one's dead yet. So far so good.
- Azaylia: Azaylia, on the other hand, seems almost desperate to be good for the Weyr. Gotta admire that. Is she leader material? Maybe someday. I don't know about today.
- C'wlin: He's adjusting better than I thought he would, though for someone who pictured himself as Masterharper someday, he's in charge of nothing when it comes to Athimeroth. Hadn't thought he was the type to bend over like that.
- Hana: I grew up with Hana back at High Reaches Hold. We learned to dance together as kids, then went our separate ways when it came time to start working for our keep. If there's a toss dance, and she's there, I'm in. It's been really nice to have a familiar face around sometimes drastically unfamiliar environments. I'm kind of glad she's not tailing Devaki's troupe anymore.
- K'del: At first, he seemed all right, but this stuff with a pendant and... man. You just can't jump to conclusions that severe while going on so little. Even if the other guy's guilty, you don't have to be a Harper to know you need more than that. I'm disappointed, but torn. Could have been handled better, and he's supposed to be a leader.
- Leova: I've only had a little contact with this rider, but she seems easy to be around. Her dragon, not so much. I still might talk to her about training when the time comes. It's been on my mind more than ever, thought I don't know what Kaz would think of that.
- N'hax: I'm pleased this guy impressed. It's nice having someone around who's a little more mature. Like, if I ever run into some serious trouble, I think I could go to him and have a real discussion about it, which is a nice feeling.
- N'ky: He's really been applying himself to his lessons, which is great to see. It might not be what he had in mind when he took on the white knot, but I think it will serve him well someday.
- Taikrin: I've had very little contact with her, but Brieli's spoken up for her. I guess that's something, right? People are all up in arms over her being female. Big deal. A lot of people are female.

D'kan
- Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
- Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
- Here comes the sun,
- Here comes the sun,
- And I say, it's all right
- (All of it. Especially while drinking.)
D'kan and Kazavoth
- It's not easy to share somebody's dream
- It gets easy when you work as a team
- Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
- Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
- What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
- What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
- It feels just like I'm falling for the first time
- I read the rules before I broke 'em
- I broke the chains before they choked me out
- Now I pay close attention
- Really learn the code
- I learned to read the map before I hit the road
