K'zin
Contents
Description
Broad of shoulder, and strong of jaw, this young man of about 17 turns old still has traces of baby fat clinging to his otherwise muscular form. He stands about five foot, eleven inches tall and besides his rather remarkable bone structure, he's just another face in a crowd. Dusky tan skin covers his frame, topped by straight, dark chestnut locks. Though a few shorter locks flop haphazardly from the top of his broad brow, most of his hair is contained by a tan thong as it hangs down his back to reach the bottoms of his shoulder blades. Arched brows peak over evenly-set warm brown eyes. His nose is proportionate, though slightly aquiline. Thin but shapely pale pink lips almost always seem to wear the ghost of a smile, and a slight crinkle in his cheeks suggest hidden dimples.
Clearly dressed more for function than fashion, K'zin has donned a pair of khaki hide pants that look to be the kind lined with something more forgiving to bare skin. A pair of thick, worn, fur-lined brown wher-hide boots are on his feet. Warmth seems to be the aim of his torso attire, too. At least three layers can clearly be seen, starting with a grungy ecru undershirt peeking out from the opening in his grey shirt and topped with a brown vest. When outdoors, a fur-lined overcoat and red knit scarf, hat, and mittens is part of his standard attire.
WYSK
K'zin, once Wakizian - wah-KEY-zee-in, Impressed Alchemist's Prize Bronze Rasavyth on Day 1, Month 4, Turn 31. Formerly, Sr. Appy Smith posted to High Reaches Weyr (living there for about 9 turns). Waki (wah-KEY) is the class clown. Not a total goof-ball, but definitely one with a spirit of high-energy frivolity or playfulness and a dry and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor. Though far from anti-social, in his turns at High Reaches, he's spent far more time with the blacksmithing forge and bellows than the people living at the Weyr. Up to this point, he's been just another face in the crowd - another cog in the great wheel that makes the Weyr go 'round.
History
Born as the fifth son of Minecrafters Wakina and Zianarius, Wakizian's destiny was clear from the start. Coming from a long line of salt-of-the-earth Minecrafters, there was no question where his life was heading. His baby years were spent with his journeywoman mother at Tillek Hold, and when he was old enough to get along without her, he was sent back to Minecraft Hall where his father, a master miner lived. There were two more siblings to come along behind him, and the family lived quite happily together once Wakina walked the tables to get her Master's knot and receive a posting to the main hold with her husband a few turns after Wakizian moved back. He had an average childhood, with more than his fair share of pet rocks.
When Wakizian turned eight, his parents were from the contingent of Minecrafters sent to help excavate and repair the High Reaches Weyr caverns after the meteor strike. There was more work than skilled hands to do it, so Wakizian began helping out with small tasks that a young boy was capable of doing. In the process, he met Journeyman Smith Thraland who worked with his parents and became enthralled with the idea of making refined items out of the ore and rocks his parents were so fond of. In a great family scandal, Waki broke with tradition and leaped at the opportunity to apprentice to the Smithcraft as soon as he was old enough. Thankfully, his parents were soon after re-assigned once the new caverns were up and running, giving Wakizian the space and focus to train properly.
As changes in staffing of the Smiths at High Reaches began this turn, with new journeymen and apprentices coming in, Wakizian's apprehension about being sent elsewhere for longer than a season course (like the one during which he became friends with Nicky back at SmithCraft Hall) growing, the Senior Apprentice began to try to find ways to ensure that he was able to stay at High Reaches, his home. Healer Madilla who has long tended his boyhood scrapes and the aftermath of hammer mishaps, offered him the sage advice of just talking to his Journeyman and making sure Thraland was aware he wanted to stay at 'Reaches. Instead, he ended up having a chat with his childhood crush, Quinlys, who suggested he might like to Stand for the clutch. And to one who's not the brightest glow in the basket, the answer became clear: Stand, Impress, never have to leave 'Reaches again! If only life were so simple. And what about his Smithing? Didn't he sort of LOVE his craft?
As it turns out, life really was that simple! He Stood. He Impressed on Day 1, Month 4, Turn 31. Then life got a whole lot harder. Enter Rasavyth, a bronze with a ruthless penchant for power, but who outwardly seems like a charming and dutiful dragon. So begins the epic tale of Logs:The Brain and the Brawn, Part 1: A Bargain Struck
