K'zin

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

Weyrlinghood

Month 1

K'zin: In the first few weeks, K'zin was mostly just confused. He was his usual good-humored self, but watching the other weyrlings interact with their dragons, he began to feel a bit left out simply because his lifemate is not very outwardly affectionate. So that paired with usual adjustment pains had him looking confused more often than not. He speaks little about his lifemate, sharing few personal details, which might seem a bit off since that's the topic du jour for so many. When asked, he'll say that Rasavyth is strong, intelligent, charming, and funny. The fact that Ras has been telling dirty jokes since his first seven is no secret. It's also no secret that K'zin won a hefty bet on his own Impression and Ras is planning on spending every mark of his now sizable (for a former senior apprentice) life savings on new clothes. His friendship with N'ky has been strained since hatching, improving on the 16th day of month 4. Like the other weyrlings, K'zin is tired, and spends most of his time in the company of his new lifemate. They are often seen walking the bowl together, the bronze looking aristocratic, the boy looking thoughtful (or like his ears should be smoking)! K'zin is also quite strict about adhering to an exercise routine and has impressed upon Ras the importance of this, so they do it together, almost every day.

Rasavyth: Initial impressions of Rasavyth's mind will show a shimmery transparent ooze that quickly adapts to whatever sounds, smells, or textures presented by the other's mind. When speaking with a group, he tailors his interactions to all in turn. The only thing that sets his reflections apart from the original is a thin sheen of transparent oozy charm that fills in available gaps or sits upon the surface. His words are always clever, charming, and measured. His voice is a pleasant, purring tenor. There's almost always amusement whether open or veiled. He seems a very good-natured, friendly sort of fellow. There might be something about his touch that makes dragons a little uncomfortable, but it's not anything that can be named or readily identified, just something. Otherwise, he's everyone's friend, enjoys a good joke, and is quite polite. Physically, Rasavyth doesn't care for exercise or strain but does it because his lifemate insists. His oversized wings make him a bit clumsy and not the strongest or fastest of the weyrlings.

Month 2

It's exam time!! Reading: B He understands pretty well.

Writing: B- The words are all there, but the composition of complex paragraphs is rusty.

Arithmetic: A+++ (You heard me, three +!)

Local/world history: Fail! He's alright on the stories of what's happened but the when and the where? He's miserable at it. And the geography bits? Forget it. He thinks you could leave Southern Boll on foot and end up in Benden by nightfall.

In the second month, K'zin's confusion and frustration seem to be abating. He and Rasavyth seem to be settling into a pattern of being together. The two are coming to an understanding and learning to work together. Rasavyth still does exercises only grudgingly, but K'zin has been spending extra time training as often as he can. He's not used to so much book work not paired with the hard labor of the forge. He's been getting to the forge when he can, and volunteering (with frowns from the

K'zin, like the others who are struggling with history, is studying hard, but also looking for better options. He's started recruiting people to work on a table top miniature trivia board game to help the weyrlings with their history (+bbpost 7/11). Other than studying, he's been seen to eat dinner with Sabella more often than not, and things are once more a little weird between K'zin and N'ky (since night of day 7, month 5).

Rasavyth has been showing more sides of himself. There's always charm, but he's had his moody moments, his playful ones, even his rarer cuddly ones. In evidence of their growing intimacy, K'zin has been spotted to nap with the bronze in Rasavyth's couch from time to time.

Month 3

It's been a doosie of a month for K'zin and Rasavyth. At the beginning of the month, everything was rolling along. They appeared to be the perfect little weyrling pair: doing their duties, dragging their feet just enough, getting excited just enough, following the ru... wait. No. Not that one. Some of the observant might have noticed K'zin having more than one drink when he oughtn't.

Then there was the incident. The one at the lake (Logs: Bathing Bedlam) on day 11. Everything seemed to change after that. He was in the infirmary two days and on light duty for another three until his various injuries (most notably his broken nose) had healed enough to get back into regular action. Rumor tells that he broke the rules and lost all his privileges indefinitely. He's been since seen keeping to only public areas or accompanied by one of the weyrlingmaster's dragons when he has to go off to do something on his own (most notably his extra hunting trips with the horrible hunter Rasavyth at lunchtime). He threw himself into all weyrlinghood has to offer with renewed vigor. He's almost never seen without a book or a good bit of sweat, spending his free hours studying or doing extra exercise. For a more complete look at this time period for K'zin, see Logs: A walk in the boots of a changed man. He's still working on that game in the training cavern as time allows, he's hoping for it to be ready by next month to help those in remedial classes test out.

One very notable change since day 11 is that Rasavyth has been his near-constant companion. Where other dragons were clingy at birth, Rasavyth never was. He's not particularly touchy-feely with his rider even now, but when K'zin is awake, they are almost always together, both actively engaged in the task at hand, whether it's studying or exercising or whatever else.

Rasavyth, for his part, has not been excelling with the physical tasks of being a dragon; almost as if those tasks don't come naturally to him the way so many mental things do. He does try quite hard, but in the mornings when all the weyrlings feed, he'll take advantage of the good hunters to scare up his own meal, hence the extra trips on his own to make him learn to do it all himself. With gliding, too, he's not been the best. He does steadily improve (in small ways) from session to session with the gliding, the hunting, it seems, is harder for him to make progress with.

Month 4

As K'zin's punishment went on, he followed the letter of the law (so to speak). He was never seen in a non-public area without an appropriate escort (except for this once in the Stores). He put real effort into everything: drills, lectures, exercises, remedial classes. He was almost never seen without a book. When he was seen with a book, he was almost never without his dragon. They studied together and largely isolated themselves from social exchanges. They were both still plenty friendly during drill and lecture, but in their free time, they kept to themselves, throwing themselves into the rigors of self-improvement. One might say that he avoided everyone equally, but truthfully, he avoided Sabella most of all and kept himself being alone with anyone, as much as possible.

Month 5

This month began much the same for K'zin. He kept his nose to the grindstone (or study book), avoided distraction and temptation but was surely the consummate professional when it came to weyrling duties. At the beginning of the month, he tested out of his remedial classes and found himself with time to spare. He approached Quinlys to ask for additional work to keep him busy and ended up asking about sitting in on the silver thread lectures/lessons. Since she said anyone could attend (not the Wingleader meetings or the special things, but the lectures), he started sitting in on them regularly. She also told him his punishment was complete, at last! (Logs: Leadership Potential)

The restoration of privileges and Sabella's accident, together, prompted him to pull his head out of his butt and stop avoiding everyone (Logs: If these were the last moments...). To his dismay, he had a lot of idiocy and hypocrisy to make up for (Logs: Apologies, Again.). As N'ky became more withdrawn, things between he and K'zin seemed to be at another low point. He kept up his hard work and added extra study time with the healers for first aid and anatomy to his roster of activities along with wrangling Craft apprentices to paint the back drops for Mave's play. He also has been vanishing at lunchtime a couple of times a seven, anyone following would lose him in the foot-traffic of the Inner Caverns at lunchtime.

A number of interesting events occurred that might be rumored of, including a confrontation with N'ky (Logs: Confrontation) paired with a trip to the healers (Logs: Bruise Balm) and a near-miss at being reported for rule-breaking (even though it only seemed that he was) by I'zech (in two parts: Logs: Shame and embarrassment and Logs: Boots of... doom?), gaining a mentee in the form of a Craft apprentice (Logs: Artistic License), and a secret sucky turnday (Logs: Happy Turnday to Me.

Month 6

K'zin had a lot going on during month six, both in personal and professional developments. He began to work extra hard in his weyrling duties (some might speculate it's because of the two bronzers in charge of the wing and the idea that what's good for one bronzer is good for all, since none had been picked for Silver Threads or leadership up to this point). Getting their weyrs was the hot topic at the beginning of the month. s a testament to how dedicated he's become to (at least giving the appearance of) following the rules, he quashed Alida's plans to go check out the weyrs beforehand (Logs: Quashing Quests). That same night, (after having gotten permission from Quinlys earlier), he re-proposed his first date with Azaylia (originally proposed on day 24, month 2 in Logs: Smiths N' 'Snakes, re-proposed on day 2, month 9 in Logs: Wherefore art thou, Azaylia?). That wasn't the only personal connection K'zin was strengthening though. He started to patch things up with N'ky (Logs: Not Mad). Some might have noticed extra smiles and a lot of companionable silences between he and Telavi (since the events of the baths, mid-month 8). He started to subtly steal moments with her before getting a weyr (Logs: No Grabbing) and more after.

He was quick to claim the first weyr that came along, but many have agreed that it, even with its unusual artistry, suits he and Rasavyth (Logs: Picky, Picky, Picky). The days that followed were busy. Alida and he were in and out of each others weyrs in the first days, deepening their friendship (Logs: A Diverse Discussion and Logs: Boundaries of Friendship). He finally went on his gratuitously sweet and romantic date with Azaylia (Logs: A Date To Remember) which prompted him to seek out K'del's fatherly advice (Logs: The Talk). Surprisingly (or perhaps not), when it came time to put K'del's advice into action, it was on the heels of receiving a pair of belated turnday presents, including his very own silver thread and it was Telavi who was the beneficiary (Logs: Belated Boons and Logs: At Least Solith is Spared).

His other friendships saw highs and lows, too. K'zin and N'ky improved things (Logs: Moonlit Reconciliation) and then they got worse again (Logs: Fixed yet broken), though at lest this time, the pair weren't avoiding each other or outwardly hostile, just very businesslike and a little uneasy. K'zin and C'wlin made casual headway towards establishing some kind of non-strictly-work-based friendship (Logs: The Discourse of Dragons and their Men). Not all things can be so easy, however. Things between K'zin and Sabella are still not the best (Logs: No Rainbows or Unicorns), but K'zin's trying to act normal.

Through it all, he's had to set aside some of his extracurriculars (lessons with the healers, paperwork lessons with Azaylia, extra Smithly projects), to focus on getting caught up to the other Silver Threaders. It has him pulling long days, and his overall performance has lagged a little. He's still doing well, it's just not as exemplary as before because he has more things on his plate. When quantity increases, quality suffers a small bit.

Month 7

Miscellaneous Tidbits

K'zin

K'zin never had the normal kinds of pets growing up. Coming from a fairly prolific family of MineCrafters, he had Pet Rocks; no one's ever explained to him that's not normal.
Known by some but not most, K'zin has drawn just about every girl he's met since he was fourteen or so naked. He's a good artist, with sketches that look similar to this artist's skill level. He takes a familiar face and draws an approximation of what their body might look like based on their frame and women he's seen (not stared at) in the bathing caverns.
Known (by a select few) turn offs (some of which creep him out): stuffed animals, waxy cheese, uncles in the bathes, weird toes, sleet, crying babies, and babydolls.

Rasavyth

The bugs in Rasavyth's mind are drawn from Stargate's Replicators, learning about everything around them and incorporating that which makes them stronger/better/smarter into their make-up and mimicking things with an uncanny aptitude for detail.
Rasavyth hasn't shown any of his original-concept tendencies toward betrayal. He is almost always friendly, inviting, and receptive. True, there is that niggling "something not right in the back of the mind but can't put your finger on it", but other than that, he's your average, friendly, chatty, clever, sympathetic dragon. He's prone to extremely subtle manipulations of others, but not things he could be linked to directly. Think of him like the sweet, kind uncle that's smart enough to give you advice but that you'd never want to be alone in a room with, even though you couldn't say why.

Relationships

Aishani: "She's intelligent, mysterious, and occasionally intimidating. I don't know enough to play her games... yet."
Alida: Friends at last! They're allies, though how they will help each other exactly remains to be seen. They're companionable and share a psychotic love of exercise and are oft seen working out together.
Azaylia: He's found his stride with her, more or less. There are fewer miscommunications and more communication all 'round. She's giving him extra lessons every now and again about the art of doing paperwork.
Barnabas: He loves the company of this guy. His dragon loves this guy's face. Sure, Telavi says talking to him is unsexy, but who cares? He's a fun guy to be around.
C'wlin: Update pending! (Let's RP!)
E'sren: He seems like a good dude. He smiles a lot.
Hana: He's a little less convinced that she's a spy, but apparently thinks she stalks Azaylia and makes her eat (among other things).
Madilla: Healer for all his hammer hurts; the perfect conversation partner. She gives him funny tummy butterflies sometimes but he doesn't know why.
Mave: So simple and yet so complicated, both the girl and the relationship between them. He's her friend, but likes kissing her, but N'ky likes her, but Mave says she wants to kiss people which includes N'ky and K'zin both, and-- how does it work, the bros thing, when monogamy isn't sought by all parties?
D'kan: Update pending! (Let's RP!)
I'zech: K'zin's favorite AWLM! Not. He's not sure what to make of him. He doesn't like that he doesn't seem to care.
Jo: So very intriguing. He has his most philosophical discussions with her. She's becoming his business manager (sort of), and he's interested to see if she wants to include him in her circle even though he's young.
K'del: Faux-Pa. Confidant, mentor, friend. He doesn't know him well in anything but reputation, but there's much respect and admiration for him. He can't wait to go fishing with him.
Leova: Has been transporting him to/from SmithCraft for turns. Known in passing since he was 12 turns old. He respects her, a lot. He can't wait to tell her about how he thought like she told him to, and wants to learn more dragonhealing stuff from her when he's allowed.
N'ky: Things are more complicated than ever with N'ky. K'zin made mistakes and doesn't know how to fix them. Will their friendship survive? Will K'zin survive if it doesn't?
Peregrine: Update pending! (Let's RP!)
Quinlys: Childhood friend's older sister. She's definitely different than she was back when he had a crush on her. He's not sure about her politics, but respects her as a weyrlingmaster.
Sabella: He dun messed things up with her. He wants to mend things with her, to at least be friends.
Telavi: Talk about confusing! He's subtly paying her lots of attention, trying to figure her out through their day to day interactions.
N'hax: Update pending! (Let's RP!)
Vienne: Has great respect for Harper-Rider-Ma'am, easily unnerved by her way with words.
Z'ian: He isn't yet sure what to make of him. He's interested in the possibilities with Boreal Wing once weyrlinghood is over (the same way he's interested to know about the possibilities with other wings.
