Description
With the somewhat gangly, seemingly too-thin and too-long-limbed frame typical of most teens, it's obvious that Tanashi hasn't yet hit his full growth. His head is topped with tousled, straight brown hair that looks as if it has never seen a comb in its life, only fingers. An oval face is apparently one-third brow, the rest of his features mostly symmetrical and more-or-less pleasant in combination. Straight eyebrows above brown eyes, a straight -- if slightly large -- downward pointing nose and a thin-lipped mouth that closes over even teeth.
He has not escaped that bane of teenagerdom, acne spots making frequent appearances upon chin, brow and occasionally nose.
He wears clothing suitable to the season and climate. He likes to layer his shirts, a plain fitted one beneath a colorful, too-large one, the sleeves left uncuffed so that his hands remain mostly covered. His trousers are always dark, though the observant might still notice faint lines where the hems have been lowered after the latest growth spurt.
Monaco Weyr native, sent to apprentice under his aunt, Baker Talyna, in month 2, turn 30.
History
Tanashi is a weyrbrat from Monaco, son of bronzerider N'tan and greenrider Ashia, the result of a mating flight. Feckless and spoiled, he has a somewhat inflated sense of his own importance due in large part to his heritage. Tracing dragonriders back in his bloodline through many generations, he has little pragmatism about the realities of life, convinced that he will one day join their numbers himself. This belief put a block on what feeble attempts were made to encourage him into a specific skill set; apprenticing was 'pointless' and anything else just 'passing time.'
It's only now that he's nearing his majority that his parents have seemed to realize just what a useless son they have, neither of them having been particularly involved in the actual raising of him. That was left to non-rider cousins and Weyr nannies. In something of a last-ditch effort to pound some responsibility into him, his father arranged a late apprenticeship (of sorts) for him under the tutelage of his aunt, Talyna, a Baker at High Reaches Weyr. The hope being that his usual tricks won't serve him in a place so far away he has no connections; no friends to cover for him, no knowledge of who he can bribe or sweet-talk into looking the other way.
Relationships
High Reaches Weyr
Talyna Paternal aunt. Journeyman Baker. :: He claims he never knew about her, to cover the fact that he just didn't consider her important, being a 'mere' Crafter. He doesn't like her much, finding her far too strict and annoyed by the way she treats him.
Monaco Weyr
Ashia Mother. Greenrider. :: He's rather dismissive of his mother. He feels a general sort of fondness for her, but there's no real bond between them. If anything, he tends to find her a bit embarrassing.
N'tan Father. Bronzerider. :: He would do anything to win his father's approval, which is the main reason why he's going along with his apprenticeship under his aunt. He believes that his father is being unfair, but also believes that everything between them will change when (not if) he Impresses bronze.
N'tien Older half-brother. Bluerider. :: There's a certain amount of rivalry there, but he feels rather smug that his brother 'only' Impressed blue. It bothers him that their father still seems to favor his first-born, and he's determined to prove that he's the worthier son.
Asher Younger half-brother. :: Doesn't really know him, doesn't want to.
Shianna Younger half-sister. :: He might not be able to care less about his little brother, but he adores his baby sister. Leaving her behind was the hardest part about being made to leave Monaco. He'd do anything for her, and woe betide the person who ever hurts her.
Southern Hold
Tanelle Older half-sister. Healer apprentice. :: He doesn't really know her, but disapproves of her choice to apprentice to a Craft.
Honshu Weyr
Nalrea Younger half-sister. :: He knows she exists, but that's pretty much it.
