Name: B'ram (Belram)
Age: 21 25
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Wingrider
History:
B'ram is a Weyrbrat, and has lived a life typical of one. His mother worked (and still does) in the Weyr's kitchens, and claims that his father is a brownrider; as she has always declined to reveal which, however, it remains an unsubstantiated claim. From his childhood right through to being a dragonrider, he's been very agreeable, able and willing to get along with almost everyone - his problems lie with mean or very argumentative/confrontational people, as he's a sensitive soul who doesn't do well with those types. He'll avoid them when possible, and tolerate them with no small amount of misery if he absolutely has to. As he tends to deflect rather than protest, his dragon sometimes does the objecting for him.
He wanted to be a rider from an early age, very much enamored of the idea of having that lifelong, understanding companion...and of being a dashing dragonrider! That didn't hurt, either. He made no other plans, simply hoping that he would Impress. And he did! B'ram Impressed Nachith four turns ago, at the age of 17, as the brown ran from a scolding green clutchmate. Their performance in a wing is average, as long as Nachith is paying attention and not flirting with his female wingmates.
Description:
At 5'7", B'ram is neither short nor tall, with a lean, fit build. With short, dark brown hair and warm brown eyes, he is passingly attractive, but not exceptionally so.
Personality:
Firstly, B'ram is charming. It's no accident, either! It's a trait he's done his best to cultivate, as there's little he likes more than to make friends - especially of the female persuasion. He'll go out of his way to help or be kind to someone, always hoping to gain himself a new friend (maybe a little more, if the person in question is a girl). As a result, he has a good-sized circle of casual friends and pleasant acquaintances, although he's short on real, close friends. Those he does become close to, he also becomes extremely loyal to; right or wrong, he will defend them.
While he does have a way with girls, he's actually quite serious about it! He doesn't forget to call, as it were. He becomes attached very quickly, and is also quite protective. Should they want one (or not), a female in need will always have a ready protector in B'ram. It's quite possible he could become too attached for the taste of some, as he really doesn't understand the concept of no strings attached - he's not outright clingy, but he does prefer ongoing relationships, even just friendly ones. If he ever found 'The One,' this brownrider would be happy to have weyrmate and give up chasing other women (although Nachith will never stop chasing other dragons!), but he would likely continue to flirt out of habit.
B'ram is an rather sensitive individual, much moreso than one would expect from a brownrider; he's not quite as steady and sturdy as the stereotype. He takes criticism and rejection very personally and seriously. As social as he is, it's hard for him when someone doesn't like or is mean to him. It can set him moping for days, if it's bad enough. This makes him susceptible to bullying, harsh criticism, and other such things.
He also doesn't do well with distressing situations, like the recent attacks on Weyr leadership and the resulting climate. He has been sullen and withdrawn, profoundly affected by the moods and intrigue around him. Why can't the world just go back to being the way it's supposed to be? He is, to the extent that he can, sticking his head in the sand and waiting for all this to go away. In bad situations that affect him more directly/immediately, he tends to freak out until someone can settle him and tell him what to do. If it's something he's been prepared for, like fighting Thread, he'll be okay...unless things were to go horribly wrong in a way they haven't practiced for. Then, panic is entirely possible.

 Belram! Run! Hurry!
Name: Nachith
Age: 4 8
Colour: Brown
Size: Below Average
Build: Supermodel
Personality:
This brown is a peculiar breed of womanizer. Why? He sincerely cares about the female he's trying to charm. At first. Paying attention in all walks of life is a chore for Nachith. His rider had some trouble in Weyrling lessons, because no matter how many times this dragon is told to focus, it never happens. Likewise, he'll get bored of whatever female dragon he sets his sights on in time and become infatuated with another shortly there after. He's convinced all of them should welcome his advances. It's not as if they'll do any better.
Nachith knows his place and he expects everyone to know theirs. A bronze chasing a green is ridiculous. A green expecting to be chased by one even more so. He is more than happy to listen to the higher ups, so long as they're gold or bronze. He has difficulty accepting other browns at a rank higher than Wingsecond, as he sees that as their 'place' in the world (not that he won't chase that Senior Queen, as he simply can't resist a Flight). Everything must have a place and duty in Nachith's world or he doesn't consider it important. Sentimental value? That's not really worth anything, so forget about it.
Hopefully, he'll never end up with a brown wingleader, or there's going to be more grief for his rider. Assuming he's put under the command of a metallic intimidating enough to make him listen, Nachith will follow orders well. Only if he really, truly knows he's right will he question his leader's motives or ideas. If he thinks something is wrong, His should know it's worth looking into. His rider could tell you he's surprisingly level-headed when it comes to matters not involving the heart.
He always has a favorite, but he will gladly participate in any green, crimson, or gold flight. It's all in good fun. Only if the dragon rising is his current heart's desire will he take it seriously. Otherwise, win or lose, he'll be just fine.
Nachith chose Belram because he has a good heart, strong loyalty and knows how to treat a lady right. Nachith wouldn't pick anyone but another smoooooth guy as his partner in crime. They can also whine to each other when they get rejected! Hooray!
...Wait.
Other: Conversion from DRoP.
