Jewelry or weapons: T'nal generally keeps a belt knife on his person, as well as one of the throwing strapped into his left boot. He always wears one, very highly detailed brown Dragon pin made from various gem stones (which was given to him just after Impression by a jeweler friend of his named Lirrim) to hold up his rank knots, and often a wedding ring that was picked out by his best friend, Mariella.
Favorite colors/dress: Other than normal riding leathers, and other such attire, T'nal choses to wear a thin, full body clothing (think: air-force flightsuit style), preferably colored in mostlybrown, with bits of orange and grey-white added forcontrast.

Background: A drudge-boy for most of his life, Tonal grew to hate all Holders for the torture, and unfair treatment they had given the "lower class" of people. Having bared witness to the "murder" of his younger sister for the grounds of "punishment" for having messed up at an "important" meeting, the boy ran away from his Hold.Tonal passed through forests, and eventually stopped at a cliff face. Deciding that leaving was a mistake because of the possibility of punishment to his family due to his absence, he turned to head back to his home. However, the young boy was surprised by a near by Dragon approaching, and fell from the ledge, tearing his face as bounced from the rocky wall on the way down The boy was rescued by that same rider, who's name was T'ren, and was dropped off outside of a close-by Weyr for treatment. Tonal nearly collapsed dead in the front hall, but was saved by a girl named Lianna. She took him to the infirmary for emergency treatment. While there, the young man was given some fellis by anapprentice to calm down his periodic panicflashes, and nearly killed, again (he is highly allergic). Once he awoke, Tonal ran from the 'killer Healers', dragging along the dark-haired Lianna with him. After hiding out with her, and avoiding the adults, the two new friends fell in love and were married. Four days after they met, to be precise. Tonal lived with his new bride for a couple of sevendays, until the Hatching.Tonal, who was never officially Searched in the first place, did not trust to have Lianna out in the open near the "Killer Healers", acquired a stolen candidate's robe from the couple's friend Mariella, and snuck out on to the Sands to keep an eye on her.
As the Dragons began Hatchling one by one, both of the couple ended up Impressing the newborns, and agreed to live a part until their lifemate were old enough to handle their relationship.A month and a half later, however, T'nal stumbled upon a murder, and chased the culprit down. Okay, so it was more like he sneaked behind him quietly, and the Dragon gave him away when it laid down insome bushes for a rest. :P A short battle ensued on the top of a rocky mountain, the blonde boy received a gash across the right cheek, and a knife into the left shoulder. Both men were thrown from the top of the cliff as the Hatchling tried to protect his One from the bad man. Filarth, T'nal's sandy-Brown friend gripped his lifemate, and flapped his wings as hard as he could to try and save the boy's life. He managed to slow the Weyrling's decent enough to prevent the boy's death upon hitting the fast-moving river below, but not enough to prevent injury. The boy hurt his head, and as a result incurred memory-loss.The Dragon had permanently damages his wing joints. The two were assumed dead, although the lack of a Weyr-wide Dragon croon seemed to dispute this. They were rescued by a Greenrider. T'nal regained consciousness after a few days bed rest, and medical attention. Filarth on the other hand, had been battered and bruised, and thus his body spent more of it's resources healing, rather than maturing, causing his growth to be stunted. While he was enjoying time in the water, T'nal shoulder wound was re-opened by a rather dense young lady friend of his and he was sent back to the Infirmary due to too much blood loss. The next few turns were, for the most part, uneventful, and the young man spent his free time with his wife / weyrmate. The two raised their daughter themselves as much as possible, only leaving her with Cretch Mother when they were much to

Personality: T'nal has been called eccentric on more than one occasion. He was generally friendly, and bubbly, if more than a little shy around those that he does not know so well. However, his personality changed a good deal from his time spent with the Greenrider, Jaryn. Now, he puts forth a more calm, quiet, and confident visage. However, he is still uncertain inside, and still makes most important decisions based on what he feels that his Mistress would do in that situation. That sometimes causes him to freeze for a few second, and could negitively effect any thing that requires a quick reaction time.T'nal can sometimes be stubborn, and will occasionally argue if he does notagree with other's points of view, regardless of who those ideas belonged to. Shooting his mouth off to the wrong people couldalso get him into to trouble, if he is notcareful. However, the young man often loses such disputes, especially when dealing with his wife. Although he arely cares about such losses, as just being in her presence tends to put him into a good, often flirty, mood. Most of the weyrling's close friends, and family members call him by his full name, rather than the honorific.
Hobbies/Skills: T'nal learned basic art and the ability to play to the flute from his greenrider friend, who was a Journeywoman Harper prior to her Impression. He also knows a little Jeweler'stalent, and sculpting which was picked up by apprentice training from his friend, Lirrim. Both skills are rudimentary, as he only had a few training sessions before his own Impression.

Name: Filarth
Color: Sandy-Brown
Weyr Impressed: Ista Weyr
When Impressed: 6 turns prior
Dam/Sire: Gold: Jenith / Brown: Talith / fourteen clutchmates
Wing: Generally a Middle Level Wing.
Size: About 50 feet long, with a wingspan of 125 feet
Appearance: The sandy-Brown suffered from illness while still inside of his shell which stunted his over-all growth rate.He had then had taken a decent amount of damage while still a Hatchling which only decelerated it further, and it was commonly believed that the baby would more than likely not survive to adulthood. He did indeed live to maturity, lthough, Filarth is very still very small in size for a Dragon of his color.While his length is tiny, his wings seemed to have grown to the correct proportion to what he ~would~ have been had his growth rate been unobstructed.The addition of such extra large sails helped to balance out the perminent caused to his wing joints when he saved his soon-to-be rider from is fall at an infant age.
Personality: n/a
Abilities: The huge wing sails can allow the Dragon to reach speeds up to that of a Green, but can not sustain them for but a few minutes before needing to land and rest for a time equal to about double or sometimes triple the time the actual "super-speed" was used during flight. His maneuverability, however, is probably close to that of a large Bronze, due to the mis-matched proportions of his body-wing size.
Relationships: Filarth is a loyal friend to his Weyrmate, as are most dragons. The small Brown is also easily made to be ecstatic by any nice comments he receives, as he was frequently insulted, and made fun of due to his odd stature. Filarth is very sweet, and tries to make friends with most anyone, especially people. Likewise, insults can have the opposite effect on his feelings. Also, the sandy Dragon is often too trusting of others, and will happily follow them blindly into danger. He also has a curious nature which has put his life at risk on more than one occasion, such as wanting to bare witness to a tropical storm in person.
