Description
Thick curls crown his head like an unruly 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 his natural light tan topped up by riding experience, a gentle 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. Standing at 6'3 he remains perpetually coltish, with long limbs, narrow shoulders, chest and hips, to which rangy muscle adds some definition, but very little bulk. N'ky is dressed suitably for a rider; his butter-soft black leathers look new, paired with a matching jacket lined with white fleece, underneath which he wears a shirt that's well-loved, faded from black to charcoal. The knee-high boots he wears seem hardly worn, buffed to a proud sheen. On his shoulder is a knot denoting him as a greenrideer at High Reaches Weyr, while a badge positioned proudly on his chest shows that he flies with Avalanche.
WYSK
- He was born in Far Reach Holding, where the livelihood revolves mostly around Beastcrafting and trade of woolly animal-related goods - including the animals themselves.
- He's never actually used it since he grew up being called Nicky and he hasn't told anyone, but his real pre-Impression name is Nycaen (nih-cay-en).
- He was training to be a farrier like his uncle Ansly, who's a trained Smith and posted to High Reaches Weyr - that's how Nicky ended up there, shortly after Hraedhyth and Iesaryth rose.
- N'ky has official Smith metalwork training and official Beastcraft training in hoof care, specifically for runners, but was never apprenticed to either Craft
- He also has a stutter, but he's been working on it and has it mostly under control. It does, however, come back when his emotions are high; to those who know him, it's a tell-tale sign that he's nervous, excited, or worried.
- His outlook in terms of Weyr politics is traditional; though he's not protesting the current leadership situation in High Reaches as much as he did before - perhaps he's come to accept it?
- He was asked by K'del to stand for the double clutches of gold Hraedhyth and brown Szadath, and gold Iesaryth and brown Arekoth in Turn 30.
- Straight to the Heart Green Cailluneth found him on the Sands in Turn 31, and made him her N'ky.
- Once he was allowed to go between on his own, he went home... and after being told he was no longer part of the family, Cailluneth tore into a flock of Far Reach ovines. Needless to say, he left in a hurry, and his family were not pleased. There's been on-going ill-feelings between the holding and Weyr since.
- On day 3, month 4, Turn 32, he was tapped by then-Acting Weyrleader Sisha into her wing, Avalanche.
- He spends a lot of his free time outside of the Weyr.
