WYSK

Pronounced "Kah-geh". Originally Kaelige, "Kay-ledge" often called by Kael ("Kale") or Kay
Began as one of Fort Weyr's stablehands of uknown origin, rumored to have arrived in early spring of turn 37 on dragonback, claiming to be 18 turns old.
One would assume the always-hooded, mischievious boy has skills. He must. But they are largely unknown to the public, some more guarded than others.
Bonded to a feline-like dusky, dark brown firelizard named "Chiv," though the creature's rarely seen or spoken of.
Searched for Elaruth x Bijedth's clutch of turn 37 by Lilah and Eliyaveith, but failed to Impress.
Retained the knot to stand for Eliyaveith x Liesanth's clutch and Impressed to bronze Zymadiath. Both were wounded at Impression in confrontation with a second bronze hatchling.
Always claims to be his age +3 turns

Description

A sad scruff of stubble lines his squared and defined jaw, hinting at the man that this boy is attempting to become, and making it difficult to age him just by looks. His skin is well-tanned beneath bruises and scratches, hinting of tones used to warmer climates. Shadowed beneath short, spikey black hair are rather piercing perhaps mischievous green-touched blue eyes. He has a hardness about his lazy stance that highly suggests the term trouble. Or misfit. Or both. Standing straight, he reaches about 5'11" or so of lithe, suspicious stature. His limbs are somewhat lanky in comparison to his body but already toned with a strong hint of muscular potential, and his torso is as skinny as can be. His athleticism is obvious, his direction not so much.

He's dressed in darker colored garb from head to toe which may have been black at some point but has long since faded, fingerless gloves and hood included. Wher-hide jacket and pants are cheaper in make, but usable. The material is thin, the edges are worn and just a bit ragged from high wear and tear. There is, however, a small patch of material sewn on with poor form onto his left shoulder which seems to have numerous tiny scratch marks all over it. Around his right arm beneath his jacket is a hide strap that holds three heavy metal four inch long pins, and a short dagger is strapped to his right thigh that perhaps takes the place of, or is in addition to, an unseen belt knife.

History

It started as simply as intervening ships enroute from Gar to Boll, and later from Ista to Fort. His father, wholly skilled at the sea and its crafts, had a steady hand in the seaborne raids. After the event of the Scudder, he had reached out to the land based raids, joining the renegades and meeting the woman who would become Kael's mother on the evening of being apprehended at a hand-off of supplies by Fort Weyr riders.

Kaelige was born not long after the exiles had made a make-shift home out of their Southern colony. Although a younger brother was born a few years following him, he shortly perished of an illness as an infant, and his mother became too frail to bear further children,. Kael, though perhaps lacking in general social skills, was raised with a non-harper but still strict discipline into the basics of reading and writing, and even heavier in the aspects of survival, hunting, and understanding of beasts and the sea. Fighting was a necessity, but he seemed weaker at direct confrontation. However, another renegade took him under his wing and the pursuit of spying and assassination was intensive and thorough. He could throw an average punch at best, but using subtlety to end a contest quickly, few could match him even at his young age. A prodigy perhaps, or maybe he just had something to prove.

Following his bonding to a dusky brown firelizard he called Chiv as part of a non-public agreement with his scheming father and having no law restricting his movements, he was sent back to the Fort area, puppet strings attached. Early in turn 37, he secured transport to Fort Weyr with Katriona and Yueth, though dismounted some distance away to avoid prying eyes and minds. He arrived to public attention as a vagabond- some sort of parentless trader-traveling looking for residency. With no talents offered to the lower cavern staff who asked in regards to placement but an affinity for being 'outside', he was given the position of stablehand.

Although kept well-shielded from the public eye since arriving at Fort, he continues to be molded by his master's 'acquaintance' - another well experienced in his particular area of expertise. Messages are passed via firelizard to those who hold his puppet strings, but never last long enough to be seen beyond his eye. He appears to the masses to be a hooded enigma with plenty of sarcastic wit to cover what isn't shadowed by his garb. And although he seemed more than reluctant to participate in anything of benefit to the Weyr, it' was notable that he was rather possessive of his rank of candidacy after being Searched by Lilah's Eliyaveith. During his candidacy, he had a hand in organizing and spying for the thefts from the stores meant for relief to the Hold post-landslide, which ultimately failed.

In late turn 37, he Stood for Elaruth and Bijedth's clutch, for which he failed to Impress and was witness to a young green hatchling going Between instead of choosing a lifemate. He retained his knot, Standing for Eliyaveith's first clutch by Liesanth and Impressed to Zymadiath. Another bronze hatchling had approached him first and fell, clawing a large gash in his chest. Zymadiath knocked the other away, who ended up Impressing to Y'tob, a boy Ka'ge had threatened but didn't take the life of, again risking his secrecy. Both boy and dragonet were wounded and fell behind in their weyrling class in the first couple of months. However, most of Ka'ge's allergies to hard work seemed to evaporate during weyrlinghood, and he passed his exams and other basic training with all too-much ease. Despite being less nocturnal, he still seems to disappear at times from the group.

Crudely Crafted and Concealed Brown Chiv

A boney little brown firelizard, seemingly lacking in muscular features and certainly no fat to speak of, is inconspicuous in presence though perhaps of generally normal length for his color. Sharpness defines him at every angle, like a tiny knife with wings. From fanged narrow muzzle to curved, hooked back-ridges to dark-silver pointed talons oversized for his dusky paws, the brown is a creature that looks less than inviting to the touch. Heavy dull browns coat him, dusty and dim, powdered darker at the lengths of raptor-long wings and whip-thin tail as if he'd been rolled in a mixture of soot and soil.

  • Eadgyd Disruptive - Be careful who you push.
  • Hattie Leadership - If I cannot avoid you, I suppose I should at least watch my mouth.
  • Jemizen Too much happy - If I get stuck with you again in chores, I'm not sure any of my training will help me handle it.
  • Katriona Disappointed - It frustrates me to know you're 'done'. There's so much left to do.
  • Lilah Tolerable - Can you read minds? Because if you can, I'm in trouble. You seem to be everywhere I go. A real hiccup in the process. But, there's something about you.. I almost don't mind it.
  • Paislie Shy - Shy or secretive or both, I'm not sure how to handle you, but you're no threat so you've got that going for you.
  • Rasaid Dense - Either you fell and hit your head on your way through the door, or you're really that thick. I hope for your sake it's the former.
