Dragon Inspiration: Sheeepp … *Squeezes him so tight*
Build & Size: Average/Above Average
Personality: Well, at least one of you has taste. Come along Hollin, let us leave these uncultured ones behind us.
Taseneth brings artistic to a whole new level, the Silver is perhaps the best or worst critic one could hope for in the judging of aesthetics, expression, and skill. He certainly difficult to please, concern with what Hollin wears, what she carves with, what is trending and of course with the state of his weyr, tack, and other possessions. There is never enough and certainly something always better. They have to keep up with the up and coming fashions.
Despite his elegance and composure he is also has pessimistic gloom of his outlooks of what he can obtain. Something is bond to go wrong and it will cause him pain or humiliation or something horrible at the very least. Underneath the bluster, there is a warm compassionate dragon. He really wants the best for Hollin, and sometimes that gets lost in his air of gloom or his search for what he believes is truly the very best of them but his love is deep and overflowing when it comes to the surface.
Prompt: 1) You are a Metallic dragon in an age where metallic prestige is falling out of favour. Do you support the Queens who fled into the wild? Why? If so, why do you choose to remain with a Weyr? If not, do you belong to the Rogue Hunters or prefer to live and let live? Why?
Hmms? I pity them of course, how could I not? They had prestige, power, things I could only dream of and they panic and well, we all know how that went now don’t we? Do I want to be anywhere near them? No, I really don’t. It is nasty in those woods and they have degraded themselves into being nothing more than thieving bandits.
I really don’t want anything to do with them.
Now, the Rogue Hunters do have prestige but that certainly isn’t the life for me. Ugh, do you know how certain it is for me to end up with some horrible debilitating injury? Way to high. And how can I harm those that have such a possibility to have been stolen from my very weyr? Possibly my very clutch siblings?
Hmph, no, I much rather be searching for candidates and guaranteeing very best individuals are available for each and every hatching.

Dragon Name: Chiroth Dragon Colour: Black Dragon Inspiration: Sagittarius Build & Size: above average & average Personality: Craves new information/ hoards knowledge, Enthusiastic, Impulsive, procrastinates, easily distracted
If Chiroth had an attention span longer than a flits then it's possible he could have become the first dragon to learn to read. His memory is remarkable... but his focus is not. Chiroth craves knowledge and new information but only in small snippets. He is the prince of random trivia but lacks any real depth to his thinking.
Still he is enthusiastic in his passions and almost always up for participating in some new task until the novelty wears off. Then comes an unfortunate round of foot-dragging, wheedling attempts to get out of it, and sullen pouting if he can't. Zarike has become adept at keeping the black on task by keeping his mind occupied. Together they hash out all the details of whatever has Chiroth's attention at the time and Zarike has become accustomed to following the sometimes jarring jumps of logic or topic. One moment they could be discussing the newest oddity to be unearthed by the ancientcrafters, the next Chiroth has connected it through the wherwars and to 'where does a trundlebugs stink come from?'.

Dragon Name: Reciproth (He was my dragon from SilverRain. If I cannot use him, let me know) Dragon Colour: Blue Dragon Inspiration: The Fox and the Stork:
At one time the Fox and the Stork were on visiting terms and seemed very good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork to dinner, and for a joke put nothing before her but some soup in a very shallow dish. This the Fox could easily lap up, but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it, and left the meal as hungry as when she began. "I am sorry," said the Fox, "the soup is not to your liking."
"Pray do not apologise," said the Stork. "I hope you will return this visit, and come and dine with me soon." So a day was appointed when the Fox should visit the Stork; but when they were seated at table all that was for their dinner was contained in a very long-necked jar with a narrow mouth, in which the Fox could not insert his snout, so all he could manage to do was to lick the outside of the jar.
"I will not apologise for the dinner," said the Stork:

Personality: The epitome of cunning and wit, he is keen at picking up the little details in life. The color of a person's hair, names… faces. Admittedly he is still a dragon with a very select memory, but it is still a rather good one for a blue. However, if something or someone displeases him, his memory seems to become just a touch more select toward his bias. There is a sense about him that he knows much more than he lets on, but when questioned merely gives the dragon version of a sly little smile and says nothing at all. Subtle is another word that would suit this blue quite well. He knows what to say and when to say it, and when he speaks… there is meaning behind it. One thing that he puts particular emphasis on is treating everyone well, and to not wish ill will upon anyone. This will carry over into his life with his rider, becoming quite bothered if his bonded is of a mind to do something malicious,. He will whisper warnings that what one does to others, it may very well come back and be done unto themselves. Sometimes he will even plea that they not do it at all, acting as something of a conscious to a rider if they are of a sort to think mean spirited things. Now, what of ill will when it is directed toward the blue or his rider? There is a reason that he says maliciousness has a way of coming back to bite you; because he's very willing of doing it himself once he has been wronged. He doles out justice most fairly, generally making sure the 'punishment' is reciprocal, meaning similar to the wrongdoing done to him. One could call him vengeful.. but once the scales have been balanced back out he is quick to give others a second chance. Also for some reason he is quite then picky eater when he's allowed to be, not liking to eat anything that is awkward to disassemble or otherwise devour.
Aside from his picky table manners and moral code, he's in general just a very introspective blue, existing within the delicate enigma that is dragon society, but not actively making any waves. He makes friends rather easily, or rather, is easy to approach. A friendly demeanor and non-aggressive standpoint of dealing with inter-dragon disputes makes him very likable to gentler minded dragons. However, some may find him frustrating with his big words and backwards talking. Not everything has to be said as if it were elegant enough to be scribed down into some tome, you know! To those who have issues with him, he is vaguely concerned and is generally more than willing to reconcile, but will not push the issue for the most part unless other factors such as overall peace of the Weyr is at stake.
His perception makes him a particularly sensitive search dragon, and it's something that he's very fond of doing. Seeking to the intricacies of what makes a candidate 'Impressable' is fascinating to him, but he cannot explain in words just what it is that he is looking for. He merely 'knows it when he sees it'. Being as such, he's a sensitive dragon, very in tune with his rider and 'listening' whenever he has the free time. One quick little fact. He loves his rider. He will follow his rider's will when the rider pushes their will against his. However, he has a fun little habit of lying by omission, and going around his rider if he feels it is in his rider's best interests.
Physical Appearance: As a hatchling, he seems to be all neck, his slender head being a snippy extension of it that blends into a powerful and well formed barrel. His legs are slender and almost comically long, but solid enough to hold his angular body up. Even as a hatchling, the sheer expanse of his wingspan will be rather awe inspiring, longer even than what would be expected for his body proportions. He's, quite frankly… huge. But not in mass. He probably weighs no more than an average sized blue, but his slender frame just keeps going and going.
As he grows, his neck will stay slender, but gain a look of masculinity and power. His head is still slender, but his buggy eyes now convey a look of wisdom and regality. Long legs are powerful and so carefully toned that even in their slenderness, they do not look weak or lacking. He's long with lean muscle everywhere, especially where all his flight muscles meet his barrel. Not as stocky as some in that respect, his muscles are perfect for sustained, gliding flight, with his powerful flaps with his oversized, yet narrow wings carrying him long distances with little effort. This makes for an excellent dragon for search riding and general patrolling, but in the agility department, he has to improvise. Tight turns are not his strong point, needing to use momentum and air currents deftly to keep up with flying greens.
Poem: Straight and narrow, the path we've chose. For honesty has it's weight in gold. Through threadfall, fire and a dragons demise. We shall endure through all and soar through the skies. You are my Moon and I am your Sun. May our adventures and trials forever go on. A path straight and narrow isn't the easiest way, but it's our way all the same and the way it shall stay.
Dragon Name: Kusheth Dragon Colour: Green Dragon Inspiration: Kushala Daora Build & Size: Muscular & Very Large Personality: Patient, Hardworking, Generally Cooperative, Nosy, High expectations, Explosive when angered, Distant
Kusheth's calm for a green, exhibiting less of the flighty aspects greens can be known for. Instead she acts as a support and a driving force. A dragon to come to for guidance or encouragement. Kusheth knows when to let the winds blow as they will and when to reign them in. She's always willing to share her opinion if asked or act as mediator. She prefers to see harmony and cooperation among her clutchmates whom she often views as her responsibility. She's not afraid to lay a firm hand down if it's needed, no matter what color your hide.
Kusheth has no interest in being a leader herself, but would instead let whoever's in charge call the shots while she makes sure everyone's on task and working together. She takes her duties seriously and expects the same from others. Kusheth, when grown, will be happiest when drilling with her wing. The dragon equivalent of 'working up a sweat' leaves her feeling accomplished and satisfied with her day. Especially if there's no drama among her wingmates.
She's a vocal dragon, both mentally and audibly. Thrumms, croons and bugles are common place in Kusheth's weyr as the green gives Hers a running commentary on the goings on in the Weyr. She wouldn't call herself a gossip, though she is, but there's benefit in knowing who's been pegged for a promotion in the Wings (maybe not so much for who's sleeping out in the cold after a failed Flight, but Di'no will be informed of that as well). Kusheth on occasion may even speak to another human should she deem it necessary.
Patience has it's limits though. When all other methods have failed, Kusheth can snap and turn from helpful breeze to a howling gale. It doesn't matter who's pissed her off. In addition to 'speaking her mind' expect a cuff or smack with her tail at best, or a full on fight if further provoked.
All in all, she's not terrible to spend time with as long as you're not expecting someone to coddle you through your failures. Self-pity and low self-esteem annoy Kusheth. If you're in a bad spot you put yourself there and she's not about to be your enabler. She's more than willing to offer her aid so long as in the end, you're the one solving your problem.
