Physical Description: D�naj is a tall man, standing at nearly 6�1, with a lean torso and long legs. He has dark brown hair which falls in haphazard waves down to the nape of his neck and light gray eyes. He has a square jaw and a strong chin, and looks almost rugged in appearance. His complexion is rather pale due to his Northerner�s heritage, but it suits him well. D'naj also has dark pink thread scars down the right side of his ribcage, continuing on down his right thigh. If you ask him nicely, he might lift his shirt to show you.

Personality: The once quiet, almost shy, boy that entered the Weyr as a candidate vanished within the first month of arriving. D�naj is loud, funny, and playful with the tendency to try and draw more conserved people out of their shells. He�s mostly got a cheerful, optimistic outlook on life and seems to have a perpetual grin on his face. Unfortunately, he can become quite annoying and almost immature at times (although sometimes he seeks to be), and overdoes major celebrations to the point of becoming quite drunk. But overall he�s a nice guy who�ll do anything to make someone smile. Besides that, he prides himself on being a family man and dotes on his daughter and lover constantly.

Habits: Biting his nails

Hobbies: Starting gambling sessions

History:D�naj was born as Derenaj, the third child of the Master Miner Dahrann and his wife Neplista. He had a happy childhood, tagging along with his older brother as much as he would allow, and dreaming of following his father into the mines of Iron Hills Hold. Young Derenaj got his chance at twelve, when his father took him as his apprentice. He worked hard at his craft for several turns, until one day, when a blue dragon ventured into the area. Northern Barrier Weyr had a clutch on the Sands, and the residents were scrambling to find candidates for Eanith�s eggs. The Search dragon swung his blue head in Derenaj�s direction, and the blue�s rider approached the boy and explained that he was picked out as candidate material. Stunned, but exceptionally happy, Derenaj accepted. After all, who had ever thought that he would ever be riding one of the Weyr�s majestic dragons?

Derenaj went home to pack, his siblings carefully needling all the details out of him the entire time. He told his parents the news, quite sure that they�d be proud�but Dahrann had other ideas. The miner voiced quite clearly to the Search rider that he was not giving up his son to the Weyr. A heated argument between the rider, Dahrann, Naplista, and a protesting Derenaj ensued. Derenaj, however, having made up his mind long ago, grabbed his things and left with his father in mid-sentence. Their relationship has been on the rocks ever since.
The nineteen turn-old arrived at this new home in awe, but began settling into weyrlife quite nicely, despite his Holder upbringing. Naj was a candidate for barely two months, when the call went out that the eggs were starting to hatch. As he walked onto the sands, Naj was a wreck. He was feeling excited, but tremendously nervous, and was having second thoughts about the dangerous profession he had chosen; besides, he was hardly experienced enough to know what to expect.

The hatching was more than half-way over, and he had jealously watched the new dragonpairs walk happily off the Sands. He was longingly gazing at a handsome blue, watching him Impress to his brand new lifemate, when he felt something hard ram into his side. {{Pay attention to me, D�naj. I�m far better than that blue, and I know you think so too.}} The words drifted, unbidden, through his head and the boy turned to find himself face-to-face with a brown dragonet. He was now D�naj, one with the brown Galanth, forever.

D�naj and Galanth flourished and passed through weyrlinghood without any major problems. After graduation, they worked hard and were finally placed in Vortex Wing after a few turns, having proven their diligence in Fall. However, even complete diligence sometimes isn�t enough. Their second Fall in Vortex proved nasty. An unnoticed clump painfully skimmed down their right side. They came out of that Fall in one piece, but have score marks as a reminder.

Three turns ago during a particularly potent gold flight, Galanth was chasing and D�naj, ridden with lust, was trying to get to the flight weyr. He never made it there, but instead fell into the arms of a young kitchen�s worker named Cereny. Galanth did not win that flight, but Cereny soon found D�naj and told him that she was pregnant, the baby was surely his, and that she wanted to keep it. D�naj was elated; he was going to have a child. His little daughter Cenja was born nine months later, and he and Cereny decided to continue with a loose, but quiet, relationship, even though almost everyone in the Weyr knows of their association.

Dragon Info:
Name: Galanth
Age: 7
Color: Brown
Physical Description:Galanth is, physically, a prime example of a brown dragon. He is rather large and full-bodied with a good distribution of muscle, he isn�t chubby, however, just bigger and more filled-out. He appears to be one of the larger and stronger browns in the Weyr. His wedge-shaped head is somewhat wider across the top and ends with a shorter, blunter muzzle than normal. If his size doesn�t make him catch your eye, his coloration certainly will. His hide is a light, warm caramel brown color that�s pretty easy to spot in a crowd. Unfortunately, his particular shade of brown is so light that dirt and blood and the like show up rather easily as a result. Galanth has also got four light, thin thread scores down his right flank.
Personality:Galanth is quite different than his rider, rather laid back, almost to the point of being quiet. He has got a calm, kind disposition and is found to be a rather likeable fellow. However, when thread starts falling, he becomes intense and passionate, with eyes only for the silver menace which once hurt his rider and himself. He tolerates D�naj�s joking good-naturedly, but this brown is the rhyme and reason in his rider�s life. He keeps a steady eye out on D�naj�s foolery, and makes sure that his boy won�t overstep any boundaries.
