{Our Illustrious Meddlers have suggested I move Rannell's Special Request here to the regular character application section.... }
Character Name: Rannell
Age: 2 turns, going on 3
Gender: male
Preference: ? ... there's plenty of time to decide
Previous Position: Slung to his Auntie Auria's hip, usually
Current Position: Still slung to his Auntie Auria's hip, only now accompanied by a Geen Pretty
Appearance: Rannell would be two, probably "going on three", judging by his ability to hold conversations, comprehend concepts and get himself into trouble. Ranny's on the baby-fat chubby side, very active, slightly tall for his age. He is also from a long line of dancers, and has an unusual amount of grace for a two-turner.
He has a thick, messy shock of longish curly sand-brown hair with golden streaks in it and huge green eyes -- like Auria's they appear to be too large for his face. He also has their family's trademark smallish nose and freckles, though his are pale freckles and harder to see than hers.
As their clothing are all left-overs and cast-offs from the Weyr lower caverns, Ranny tends to be dressed in clothes slightly too large for him, giving him a rag-tag look that is endearing and a bit on the "Little Rascal" side.
Personality: He's a two-turner, what else can be said? He does go "abnormally dark" at times, and has nightmares about the death of his family. Many of his crying tantrums are due to insecurity caused by the experience, though it's sometimes difficult to tell those from normal toddler mood-swings. Before coming to the weyr and being introduced to firelizards, his moments of laughter were brief and few. Flitters seem to have helped him turn, or at least acknowledge the possibility thereof, the corner of his fears. Those fears are bound to crop up again at inopportune moments.
History: Same as Auria's, essentially. He is the only son of her elder sister Ariska, his father's name was Onnell. Ranny was named for his father and his grandfather, Rand. He was born (in the wagon of a traveling show, his momma had to dance for the money they'd throw ... oops, sorry) to a traveler's life, and began his days bouncing and laughing with the musicians, dancers and singers that made up his large extended clan. The laughter ended when their entire family and the rest of their entertainment caravan were killed in the first Threadfall. Only he and his aunt, who saved him by running for the water and ducking under an overhang, survived. A sweeprider found them, and brought them to the Weyr, the rider's dragon insisting the girl was candidate material.
Rannell is currently sleeping in his auntie's trunk at the foot of her bed in the girls' candidate quarters. This invites lots of tension between Auria and the others; tension of which the child is oblivious, of course.
Position in Family: He is the only child of his parents, though there certainly would have been more, had they survived.
Pets: green firelizard, Fi'Wizzerd, or Wizzerd
Alignment: Oblivious to the tensions around him, as all good two-turners should be
Dragon's Name: Will the Weyr survive that long? :-)
Relation to Existing Character: Nephew of candidate Auria
Special Requests Application reason: A child who was initially meant to be a character prop for another character is (hopefully) being promoted to full character status.
RP History: Longer than some of you have been alive. LOL
Familiarity with Pern: read all but the last one, maybe two, books, the ones written with Todd. Most I've read multiple times.
How you found out about our site: Been here since day one.
