(see also: special request section)
Character Name: B'kay
Age: (candidates must be between the ages of 12 and 22): 27
Gender: M
Previous Position: (if applicable, what was your character’s job before becoming a candidate, dragonrider, etc.?): Minesmith
Current Position: Bronze rider
Appearance: (include height, eye colour, hair colour, etc.): B'kay is dark and swarthy, thick set muscles, short straight black hair and dark brown, impenetrable eyes. His skin colour is a deep bronzish tan, and he sports a thick scar that runs across one cheek and down his neck and shoulder, from threadscore he received in his first fall. He has a straight, aquiline nose and deep-set eyes under even brows. His mouth is thin and straight, and he wears an expression that is perpetually grim. He is approximately six feet in height and broad across the shoulders, evidence of his mining past.
Personality: (is your character protective, easy-going, fun-loving, solemn, what?): B'kay is dark and brooding, he gets close to no one, and has few friends. Internally ambitious, he does not confide those goals to anyone, and attained a position of wing second at Artemis Weyr more because he bends his back silently to getting the job done than because of any obvious leadership skills. He seeks his pleasure in private, and bears his pain in silence. Only his dragon knows his heart.
History: (include parents’ names and ‘jobs’, character’s location growing up, exciting or dreadful events that occurred to your character that aided in shaping their personality, etc.): B'kay was born Bronulkay, fifth son of miner Bronulon and his wife Kaytrilla. In addition, the family had two daughters, the youngest children, who were really the only siblings Bronulkay got on well with. His brothers, all older, treated him harshly, as did his father, for the world in the mines was a harsh one, and no boy should be coddled. He entered the mines to work at the young age of eleven turns, and bent his back to the silent and lonely task until a green dragon and her rider landed at the mine's adit one day and picked him, alone, out of the group of men and boys filing up from the depths. It was only three days before the Hatching, and he Impressed the dark bronze, black shaded Syth quietly and without any fanfare. The pair have been bonded for eight turns.
When the Junior Weyrwoman vanished one day, along with several other riders, and then others began disappearing in small and scattered groups, B'kay, the 'uninvited', sought answers to this mystery without confiding in anyone else. Finally, he had his firelizard, brown Griz, follow behind a group of 'travelers' that the flitt had stumbled across and, unseen, he tracked them not only to a new place – but a new time far in Pern's future.
Griz returned, brought back exciting and intriguing images, and B'kay and Syth made plans to follow....
