Overall Description: Ixion is a handsome looking young man, but his attitude can get him in a bit of trouble. Those green eyes are deep and are good at hiding emotion. His blond hair is normally is kept messy, not because he wants to but because that is how it likes to be. Naturally pale, he burns out in the light way to long, but the good thing is that once he gets a base burn and it tans, he won't burn again unless the tan fades. Turns of hand to hand combat, weapons training, and long days of running has made Ixion into a lean, tough young man.

Overall Description: Ixion is a highly patient man, capable of listening to a dispute between two parties and render a verdict to end the dispute, or is able to handle a fight that has broken out with patience and restraint. He is extremely loyal, his heart belongs to his mate and his daughter and even though he is Standing as a Candidate and he knows what may happen if he Impresses and his dragon gives chase, his heart will always belong to Emrayo though his body may be shared if he Impresses. There is no hesitation when it comes to stepping up and protecting those he care about and those he deem unable to protect themselves. He doesn't live a item-filled life and has been known to give away anything that he has and someone else needs. His down side, Ixion will speak his mind. Having been born a Hold Lord's son, he is use to speaking and not caring about rank.

Background: Ixion was the third born son of Igen Hold Lord Ixyral and Lady Nessaion. He has 4 other siblings, 2 older and 2 younger. He had a best friend, Emrayo, from childhood that might as well have been his sister. All through his life, Ixion saw his parents and their love and their closeness. It was something he wanted to have for himself and whatever family he had in the future. 

From the start, Ixion's first memories were of his family and Emrayo. Emrayo was the daughter of a small Hold Lord who had sent her to Igen Hold and Nessaion was going to be raising her as one of her ladies in waiting. Together, he and Emrayo were inseparable. They would always run wild whenever they could, though as the third born of the Hold Lord and future lady-in-waiting, there wasn't a ton of free time. However, over the Turns, the friendship turned into something a little more as things progressed. 

When it came time for Ixion to figure out what he wanted to do with his life, seeing as he was the third born and his brother and sister were being trained as heirs, Ixion chose to enlist in the guard, with the intent to one day stand in the Royal Guard. He refused to let his father pull any strings to push him along through the training, instead he pushed himself for almost six Turns, to be a good soldier. 

At 16 Turns old, Ixion had just passed his tests to earn his position in the guard. He had been training for so many Turns that he ended up celebrating with his siblings and parents but by the next morning, Ixion woke up in his bed. When he went to turn over and stretch, he found that there was a young lady lying in his bed. It was Emrayo. At first, Ixion panicked, he had so many things running through his head; what if he hurt her? what if she had said 'no'? what if she had said 'yes'? should he not be around when she woke up? Before he had a chance to get out of bed, he felt a hand on his arm and found that Emrayo was awake and looking up at him. After they had a long conversation, he found out that she had stayed sober all night and when it came time to take him to bed, she volunteered and when she went to leave he had asked her to stay. One thing led to another and they ended up in bed together. The result of one night of passion stretched into a budding relationship and nine months later, Emrayo gave birth to Ixion's daughter, Emionayo or Emi for short. 

Even with constantly working himself hard to not only continue on with his training in the guard, but also providing for his new family, Ixion rarely had a chance to relax. However, during a Hold feast, Ixion was on duty, when a young lady came walking toward him. He paid her little attention other than noting that she was there and sadly it was to late when he finally realized that he was her intention. She grabbed him, and even though he was bigger, stronger, and faster, she got one good punch in to the side of his head with the hilt of her dagger. In the dead of night, Ixion was picked up by a dragon and taken to Sabishi Weyr. 

When he woke up, Ixion was a long way from his Hold, his family, his mate, and his daughter. It wasn't how he expected things to go. To be honest, he fought to get back home, but he wasn't the sort to just completely abandon an advancing chance in life. When it was mentioned to him that he could Impress a dragon, Ixion gave life at Sabishi Weyr a new thought. If he Impressed, he could move Emrayo and Emionayo to the Weyr and hopefully give them a better life. When Midori Nagith Rose and clutched, he was happy for the chance to Stand but it wasn't his time. Sadly, since arriving at Sabishi Weyr, he hasn't had a chance, or been allowed due to his past attempts at escaping, to return to his home Hold to see his family. Now he is simply waiting.
