Persona Profile: K'tos

Writer: Steel

Name: K'tos
Age: 22
Birthday: m7 d19
Birthplace: Dragonsfall Weyr
Rank: Wingrider, Alpine Wing
Location: Dragonsfall Weyr
Craft: Healer
Craft Rank: Senior Apprentice

Physical Description of Persona:
K'tos is fair skinned, with a shock of red hair. In certain light it's a brighter copper, and in dimmer light, it darkens toward a deeper auburn-red. He has a small nick on his right ear and the faintest line-scar on his right jaw beneath it, and hazel-green eyes, sharp and watchful. He's not skinny, but nor is he overtly stocky, light on his feet and with a dragonrider-fit build. His posture tends toward stillness rather than stiffness-- shoulders relaxed, weight balanced just so. Even when idle, there’s a sense he could move at a moment’s notice, and quickly.

Emotional Description of Persona:
K'tos comes off, at first impression, a little bit reserved and taciturn. He's not a chatterbox or gossiper, and firmly believes that actions matter more than words.

That being said, he's not antisocial. He just doesn’t have much patience for small talk, or those who take their time getting to the point. He tends toward caution, in planning, though if it comes down to it and something needs to be done, he's first in line to volunteer.

If someone is struggling, or needs help, or just quiet company-- he can offer that too. He's friendly, if in a quiet way, and tends to let others make the first move socially.

History of Persona:
K'tos was born Kosuto at Dragonsfall Weyr to a flight-moth drudge, and raised in the creche. Kosuto never knew who his parents were, though he never felt the lack. He grew up coddled in the creche, running wild with the other children.

At twelve, Kosuto started Standing, as most Weyrborn children do, though he decided to apprentice as a Healer while he waited for his dragon to find him.

When he was sixteen, bronze Daisonth made himself known and that was that.

Weyrlinghood passed nearly uneventfully, save for a too-close call during his first ‘Fall that scarred his ear. K'tos graduated to the Wings with no further issue.

The events of the recent past-- taking in the Holdless, having them Impressing, and then the Weyrleadership change, have sparked K'tos’ own renewed interest in climbing the ranks, and he's got his eye on the spot of L'val's Wingthird.

Dragon's Name: Daisonth
Dragon's Age: 6
Dragon's Hatching Date: m9 d6
Dragon's Hatching Place: Dragonsfall Weyr
Dragon's Colour: Bronze
Description of Dragon:
Smaller for a bronze, Daisonth only just rivals the biggest browns, though it doesn't sway him in the slightest. Daisonth is very nearly matte, if it weren’t for the metallic sheen that gleams in the faintest light. His chest and belly are slightly lighter, as are his wings, giving him a nearly two-toned look.

Daisonth commits entirely to action and reaction. He doesn't hesitate, doesn't falter. Where his rider is quiet, Daisonth is very clearly _there_, refusing to be overlooked.

That isn't to say the bronze is reckless, or doesn't listen. He just has limited patience for deliberation and if something doesn't work the first time, he's more likely to change tactics than stick to what failed. He's social, too, almost always found near the other colours, or allowing Candidates nearby to admire him.
