Persona information (Updated: 12-22-10)
Name: K'dae (Kyedae)
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Rank: "Wingrider" Dragonless/Dragonhealer
Birthplace: Fort Weyr (Birthdate. yyyy.mm.dd)
Family: Mother: Litadae-deceased at 54-gold Sharith
Father: K'lan (Kyellan)-deceased at 60-bronze Lath
Siblings: D'lan (Daelan)-deceased at 29-brown Rivath, L'lan (Litlan)-deceased at 23-green Trilth, Kylita-31
Significant others: Javia-deceased at 28-green Gailth
Personality: K'dae is unusual for a Dragonless man. But why change when your dragon still "lives"? is his motto. Despite anyone's argument to telling him that his dragon is gone Between, K'dae will openly deny it, saying that the bronze is alive and well. He just can't fly anymore, which is partially true. He doesn't think that the silence of their bond means that Jaxath is gone. They're so closely knit that they don't need to bespeak each other. Some view him as crazy, but most just classify him as "lost". He's cheery and always doing SOMETHING. He'll help wherever he's needed. Just because he can't fly in the wings doesn't mean he can't be of use on the ground. Recordkeeping, beastcrafting, harpering, cooking, teaching Candidates or Weyrlings. He's there if the extra hand is needed. The only sadness he shows is in remembering the loved ones he's lost and remembering Jaxath in flight.
Physical description: Shoulder length light blonde hair and baby blue eyes with tanned skin make K'dae stand out in a crowd. His smile attracts many, especially those that know him as Dragonless. How he can smile so much is such a feat. A lean, but muscled build shows that he was a dragonrider. A variety of colors come to his tunics and in various shades, his pants always staying the neutral wherhide dark brown. He keeps his flightgear well maintained and even his "harness" which he has yet to realize is much too small to belong to a dragon. His boots are the common dragonrider's boots, reaching mid calf and laced up properly. Proudly displayed on his shoulder are the knots of a bronzerider.
History: Kyedae was second born to a pair of riders at Fort Weyr. He spent his younger turns living the life of a weyrbrat, causing trouble when he could, painting dragons on the Stands in the hatching Sands. Oh, yes, he was the troublemaker! And he was cunning enough to never get caught though there were suspicions that the rowdy youngster was the root of some of the "mishaps."
At 12 turns, Kyedae moved into Candidacy like any "good" Weyrbred lad should and he Stood four turns before bronze Jaxath claimed him as His, calling him K'dae. During that four turns, he had spent a lot of his Craft time in the Dragon Infirmaries, helping to care for the creatures he hoped to someday be riding.
All went well through training and at 21, K'dae fell in love with a fellow rider, his quiet bronze having decided that a green was worth catching.
Then, a rider's worst fear happened. Due to a poorly practiced drill, three dragons collided in the air. One died shortly after, the other survivor gaining two broken legs and Jaxath breaking a wing badly. The bronze was suddenly grounded and K'dae was devastated for the first time in his life. How was he to fulfill his duty now? As he spent time with his bronze and time at the stables, he found a rather strong liking toward runnerback riding and grew to favor a young palomino gelding. It wasn't long after that that K'dae figured out that he could help with Candidates and Weyrlings as both an example and a teacher. He had found happiness again!
Then the Plague hit when he was 27. His father went first, the pair disappearing Between for the last time together. His lover suicided after her green had been taken by the illness.
At 28, his oldest brother's brown went Between and his youngest brother tried to stop his craziness, but he lost his life in that attempt and his green went Between. D'lan did suicide by throwing himself off the heights not long after. Then his mother's dragon grew ill and the pair disappeared in the night to rest together Between. He thought he'd get lucky but Jaxath started showing signs of the illness and he slowly worsened. About the time he was about to struggle his way Between forever, K'dae had been involved in a fight to stop another rider from killing himself. He didn't succeed and he wound up unconscious for the next few days as a result. Jaxath Betweened during those three days and K'dae woke in a bewildered lost sort of mind and when his sister told him that Jaxath had gone Between, he refused to believe it. Jaxath never talked much at all and there was often a slightly distant bond between them. Jaxath was still alive. Once back on his feet, Kylita had taken K'dae to the stables where he had often spent time since Jaxath's grounding. She must have been hoping to ease the pain, but instead, a man who refused to believe that his dragon was gone, found a haven in the palomino runner he'd been riding a lot and so, whatever his name had been, he became Jaxath and K'dae will refuse to say otherwise. His sister stopped trying to tell him he no longer had his dragon shortly after that.
At 34 turns, Kylita has chosen to go to Tristar Weyr and K'dae has as well. He wants to be with other dragons and Jaxath does, too. So, he moved with his sister to offer his skills wherever they were needed and also to be an extra dragonhealer for the only Weyr left on Pern. Then disaster struck later that turn and Tristar Weyr was torn to pieces by an earthquake and covered over by lava and ash from a volcanic eruption. During the chaos, K'dae had been with Jaxath and when the beasts fled in fright, so did Jaxath, but K'dae had a blast running among them, nothing in his confused mind telling him that the beasts that ran all around him and his 'dragon' were of the same mind and size of Jaxath. They were found a few days later and transferred to Igen Weyr where everyone had fled.
It's been 3 turns since then and K'dae is still the happy-go-lucky man that he was before, even with the Holder attacks. With the other grounded dragons, he and Jaxath transferred via the rafts to their new safe haven of an island named Izuko...

Dragon information
Name: Jaxath (Gone)
Age: 12 (22)
Colour: Bronze
Wing: Grounded
Birthhome: Fort Weyr
Dam/Sire: Gold/Bronze
Personality: Very quiet and aloof, Jaxath never spoke much, even to his rider. His knew what he needed and when he needed it and there was no question to be had. Never siring a clutch or winning a flight, Jaxath never bothered himself with defeat. But when he was grounded, he turned a bit more aloof as if he was upset that he no longer had flight. Sure, he could hop himself a dragonlength high for his exercise the Healers had for him, but that was it. When he became ill, his last hop was a pitiful 3/4 of a length to get himself Between, saying good-bye to His who would never hear those words.
Physical description: Jaxath was quite the sizable bronze, but he was streamlined. His wingspan was massive, his muscling well conditioned. He had a dull gleam to his lighter bronzed hide and he was fairly even all over except for his ridges and wings which tended more toward a pale color, nearly white at a glance. He kept up his color almost until the day he Betweened, a grey tinge the only sad giveaway that he had lost his fight once he hopped Between for the last time.

Pet information
Name: Jaxath (Goldenrod)
Age: 18
Type: Runner
Colour: Palomino
Personality: A quiet runner and very calm. Nothing really spooks him. He's so loyal and affectionate toward his Master that he only seems to want to please the Dragonless man. He'll come at a call or even a hand signal and he has a way of reading the body language of K'dae with ease. Having survived the Disaster in a wild and reckless flee from the Weyr, he shows no scarring since he had escaped unscathed.
Physical description: A gleaming light golden color, Jaxath looks, in various ways, much like the dragon he's named after. His mane and tail not quite white, but more of an off white with its own gleam to it, mane a bit long and so thick that it parts on both sides of his muscled neck. He's stocky and quite tall for a runner of Pern (think draft), and his hooves rarely need trimmed or shod as he's got good hoof walls and sound frogs.
