Z'kiel
Description
A wayward son of the desert is this one. He's tall and sleek, with bronzed skin through a combination of good genetics and plenty of time outdoors. His features are just shy of being severe; strong and masculine, with high cheekbones and an aquiline nose. His lips are full and quick to smile, a suiting match to almond-shaped green eyes that seem to perpetually glitter with amusement. Perhaps he's in his twenties. Perhaps he's older. It's hard to tell, gauging by those eyes alone. His hair is thick, black, long, and rarely found in anything but a braid. The rest of him is hewn of hard lines and sharp angles. Though his movements are fluid - obscenely graceful, in truth - his form is anything but. The observant will note that his long-fingered hands are both quick and callused, meant to work - and worked hard over the turns.
His clothing is comfortable and meant for the heat of Igen; light linen and loose layers for the most part, all in white or bright colors. It's only when he's hunting that this changes - and only for the ease of pulling a bow. At those times, loose pants and light shirt are worn, along with a lengthy bit of cloth that's wound around to protect his head and face from the sun. He's rarely seen without the tools of his trade - a bow and quiver full of arrows - and rarer still seen without a knife somewhere on his person. Though a 'Reachian Candidate's knot claims his shoulder, the knot of an Igen Weyr resident is oft-found at his hip.
WYSK
* Igen-born and bred; has stood for every clutch since he was eligible * Has ties to traders in the region * Trained in the use of bow and crossbow * Adept hunter from runnerbeast-back * Searched on 16.04.37.10 by K'zin and Rasavyth for Niahvth's clutch
History
His line starts - and, presumably, will end - at Igen Weyr. His mother was a cook; his father a hunter. His grandfather was also a hunter. And so on down the line. It's unclear how many generations of his family have been at Igen Weyr, but it may well have been from the very beginning.
He started his life as a hunter early on and proved to have a knack for hunting from runnerbeast-back. It was all he wanted to do - and he would have been happy doing so forever. It was what he knew. What he was good at. And it was purposeful.
But then the dragons started to call. They Searched him as soon as he was old enough to Stand - and kept Searching for every clutch thereafter. Only for Igen Weyr- and he only Stood when asked. Though he's been left Standing every time, he's never felt as if he were missing something.
In the turns after that first Search, he began to build ties with the traders in the region. His skills as a hunter - and as a rider of beasts, specifically - were beneficial to them and he put them to good use. It wasn't just a matter of trading his hunting skills for goods - but his ability to track people as well as beasts. He turned into something of a messenger for certain trading families, renowned for his ability to do whatever needed to be done without too many questions.
Such was life.
And then he was Searched again - and, this time, for High Reaches Weyr.
Relationships
Farideh - I will miss you when I leave this place.
Edyis - I will teach you if you are willing to learn.
K'zin - You called. I answered. I am only sorry that you called for the wrong Weyr.
Irianke - grunt
