Description

Thick curls crown his head like an umber halo, glossy in their dark cocoa shade. They're cut to a length where he often has to brush them from his large, honey-flecked brown eyes. Overall, he's been somewhat lucky in the features department, with a bump in the bridge of his otherwise slender nose to suggest a break at some point, and cupid's bow lips that hide front teeth that are perhaps a tad too big, with a slight gap between the foremost two. He's a rangy sort of lad, clearly no stranger to work yet not massive on muscle, either; standing around 6', he has a look about him that suggests he still hasn't quite got used to the length of his limbs or the size of his feet. He wears simple, practical clothing: a well-worn shirt of once-black cotton, faded to charcoal grey, coupled with khaki trousers and brown boots that, hidden beneath his pants, come to just above his ankles. Nicky wears a braided cord bracelet around his right wrist, and a thin leather thong around his neck is threaded through a piece of polished amber.

WYSK

• Wants to be a farrier like his uncle, who's a trained Smith and posted to High Reaches Weyr
• Has official Smith metalwork training
• Has official Beastcraft training in hoof care, specifically for runners
• Is not apprenticed to either Craft
• Has a bit of a stutter. It eases off when he's more relaxed, gets worse when emotions are high
• Has a traditional outlook in terms of Weyr politics; he doesn't understand them, but he believes Weyrleaders should be men
• Wants Azaylia and K'del to lead High Reaches, though he's not overly vocal about it. He prefers H'kon after K'del and over Taikrin
• Was asked to stand for the double clutches of gold Hraedhyth and brown Szadath, and gold Iesaryth and brown Arekoth

History

Nicky grew up as the middle child in a large brood, one of many children on the family-owned Far Reach Holding. His upbringing was full of cousins, sheep, runners and chores, until he was old enough to settle on an occupation. He chose to follow in his favourite uncle's footsteps to become a farrier, and went off to the Smith Hall for a couple of turns of metalwork training, before returning home to study hoof care, specifically for runners, under the Beastcrafter posted there. In his 17th turn he moved to High Reaches Weyr to continue his training under his uncle, who had been posted there; within a few months of arriving, he was asked to stand as a Candidate for Hraedhyth and Iesaryth's clutches.

Relationships

• Alida: "She's kind of mean and quite rude - but maybe there's a reason for that? I'd rather not be around her - thank Faranth the Galleries are an Alida-free zone."
• Azaylia: "I like how hard she works, and she's really nice. She's my favourite for Senior Weyrwoman; she doesn't scare me as much as Brieli does."
• Barnabas: "He's... a bit scary. But ok, I guess? I don't know if he was flirting with me or not! His collection of knives is amazing, though."
• Brieli: "She makes me so nervous, which makes me stutter worse, which makes me embarrassed and I'm sure that it frustrates her."
• K'del: "I don't know much about Weyr politics and I only know rumour of what it was like before I got here, but K'del ought to be Weyrleader. I like him, and I'd like to see him in charge with Azaylia."
• Kaeden: "Kaeden's alright. I think we're friends?"
• Linae: "I think I annoy her by being too polite, and I really didn't mean to hit her with a snowball. But she seems ok, and I'd like to get to know her better."
• Madilla: "She reminds me of my mum and my favourite aunts. I'm really glad I met her when I first got here."
• Val: "A little intimidating, but not quite as bad as Brieli."
• Wakizian: "I'm so glad he's posted to the Weyr. It's good to have an old friend around to help me settle in!"
