Physical Description: 6'1", 160, strongly muscled but not hugely built. Dark tan skin, currently black hair in a short afro, but it will very rapidly change to white (with each Between). Pale grey eyes. He has a handsome face, looking both boyish and mature at the same time, and will always look somewhat younger than he really is. He has always loved climates where he can wear stylish clothing, without being weighed down by them. His voice is smooth, very deep. |
|
|
|
Emotional/Mental Description: Like his voice, Walick is smooth and very deep. He has many levels of complexity to his personality which very few people individually are privy to. He is Skylar's closest friend, and the only one of them who can actually best Sky at chess. He catches on to patterns very quickly, and his ability with computers is almost completely self taught (with Aivas of course). He has little in the way of actual empathic power, perhaps too much time in front of a computer screen? He has a clever wit, but often it is too subtle for those around him to understand. All in all, he is a remarkably intelligent young man, destined for great things. |
|
|
|
Skills: very adept at his hall skills of star crafting, he can plot courses and estimate factual information quickly and thoroughly. He is excellent with math and formula, if he could ride to the stars, he would. Some day perhaps he will! He has an good eye for small devices, crafting and tooling are favored activities of his, but only in down hours. He prefers action to rest. |

History: Though it is known that his parents were dragon riders, it is completely up in the air (so to speak) as to who they could have been. He was dropped at Blackstone weyr as a youth of 6 turns, but his wild stories of a building to the east by a great smoking mountain finally gathered the attention of the current leadership. They took the boy on dragon back, betweening to the spot where his young mind had first seen amazing things. It was Walick who brought the idea of Aivas to both Blackstone and Dawnlight, and he seems to know that Paveh had been there first. Since he was already quite good at observing the stars, he was enlisted as the weyr's resident Apprentice in Starcraft, but his heart still rests at Landing. He was Searched and could well change the way the world works if he Impresses. |

This is Wick in his Dawnlight Chronicles Format, ignore the cyberdeck for Pernese purposes... Or maybe not? ;> |

Notes and Special Information: Walick is from another time, perhaps far in the past, when Aivas was still a thing somewhat known (but perhaps not actually present?). He could well become the first "cyber pernese", as his mind easily comprehends the kind of information that a hard-wired brain might use. |
|
|
|
Pets/Hobbies/Posessions: Walick has no pets, but he loves his little toys. He has a collection of scrap metal and the like from Aivas' warehouses. With them, he might already have a full computer set up if he tries. |

When he woke, there were bugles going off.
Well, perhaps not Real bugles, but there was some serious trumpeting going on. And it wasn't that party last night getting back at him. Walick groaned and sat up, but the trumpeting didn't go away.
"What in the ..." He whispered, but he realized he didn't have a hangover. It was the dragon outside. Trumpeting.
Loudly.
"Okay, okay, we're out of here," he said, and put on his clothing quickly. It was what he had on last night, but it would do. He went to the courtyard and saw that a smallish green was standing in the courtyard, surrounded by the locals who were giving her a lot of attention.
"What's going on?" Walick asked Spring and Rideal, who were standing around.
"Search rider," Spring said, distractedly. "I'm..."
"Hung over," Rideal completed for her.
"I'm sorry to hear that," Walick replied. Then, the dragon swung her head over them, and snorted loudly with a blast of warm air.
"She says you're to come to Alabaster with me," the search rider said.
Walick looked first at Spring, and then at his friend Rideal.
"You mean who exactly?" He asked, and she tilted her head.
"All three of you," she said, and looked around. "Yup, all three."
Walick's tongue found an interesting bit in his cheek to keep him occupied, while Rideal stuck his hands in his pockets staring and nodding, and Spring...
Leapt for joy. She ran to the weyr barracks, and started packing first.
Walick looked at Rideal, "do you think she'll pack for us too?" He asked, smiling. |

Walick had to wait just a bit longer than the others, on the sands of Alabaster. He couldn't believe his eyes, when Rideal Impressed a perfectly elegant Blue, then Spring, her Green! But he was not to remain alone for long! |
|
|
|
Walick's mind detected something unusual, it was something between his shoulder blades but it was also hunger and a strange sense of urgency.
"I have to do something," he said, and reached down to clear the shell from a dark Blue hatchling. "There you are, now you're free to walk about."
I will fly! I will fly with you! No matter how high you want to go W'ick, I will go there. I am yours, and I am Koanth.
W'ick smiled at his new name, and at his friends! |

When grown up, W'ick and Koanth become part of Shard's Spines Wing at the Kshau Protectorate! |
