Dsalth
~* Restrained strands of sorrel and khaki overlap the lithe body of this dragon in a regimental pattern undermined by escaping tendrils of amber. Near enough in shade to blend with the design, they curl against it, flickering against the sharp line of his jaw before escaping down the geometric line of his neckridges. Ancient pale primrose -- the hue of old, forgotten books - curls down his spine in a uniformed march towards the similarly stained wingbones. Heavy ginger drapes, wing membrane made more substantial by its darkness, an abandoned blazer carefully hung from the long length of his wings. Mustard floats over his tail, musty mist lifting towards haunches reinforced by the strength of rusty iron. Thick straps of leather quality reach to caress sorrel hide beneath them, casting 'bout to slip about Dsalth's neck. Dark burgundy shines brightly, melding with deep chestnut hide below. Sweep of night colors engulfs new straps in seconds, curve-hugging leather retaining polished navy and slick midnight hues. Large buckles, glinting brightly for the entire world to see, shine of bright rays of sun, spreading thick pale moonbeams to engulf rest of evening tethers, adding last eerie touch to supple riding straps. Neat rows of heavy stitch stretch down full length of leather, ivory white of moon emerging from darkness only to be concealed by clouds once again. Flanking each shoulder is a finely sewn emblem, showing the dragon and rider as belonging to the Mudslide Wing and another decoration just below present the rank of Wingsecond. Dsalth is 24 Turns, 9 months, and 19 days old. He is 64 feet (21m) long, with a wingspan of 106 feet (35m).*~ |

And then comes the dragon.
Dsalth hatched on the Igen Sands, and promptly searched out his One- a lanky, serious 20 turn old Paorru, who became his P'rru. The dragon modeled on Giles from Buffy The Vampire Slayer impressed the Chosen One and from that day forth has never looked back.
Old, fusty, bossy and commanding, Dsalth is a brown dragon who fits into the lower end of the size range really but he's got a presence that can compare to the most arrogant bronze. Never wrong, unswerving and manipulative. He can play the fool, but those orbs are always on the look-out for the person who /might/ be able to scrub him best, or who /might/ be able to flame thread the best <<You simply must join my wing, otherwise you'll never be as brilliant as you could be>>.
He is the teacher, taking weyrlings under his wing for lessons on precision <<Turn your wing that way, laddy, then you'll really spin>>, and the busybody who has to know everything.
Yet he is not defined by his rider, instead he takes counsel of himself foremost. P'rru may be his Chosen, but he needs a life too yknow!
Dapper and charming, he's won his share of flights- chasing with a wary strength and knowledge that she must be his! But his poor rider doesn't deal well his dragon hormones, preferring to hide in his weyr till it's over. Yet he doesn't all the time- and that's why he has 5 children as a result of flights : a herder journeyman (npc), a herder apprentice son Adric (npc) a bubbly gigglepot Skylark (pc) who currently is weyrmated to Kh'ryn, rider of Zylpheth, Valar (pc) a trader with father issues, and his youngest son Kaorru whose mother Kwa (rides green Jhiateshyrth) transfered to High Reaches and lives a few ledges over.
His latest antics include surfing (where P'rru stands on his shoulders as he dives through the waves) and kidnapping various females to scrub him and adore him.
Popular too, Dsalth has got a following (some call it a harem) of apprentices and holdsfolk who love it when he comes visiting and showering them with whuffles and snuffles.
