Season of Birth: Late Autumn
Gender: Male
Rank: Apprentice Miner
Dragon/Wher: None
Pets: Shiroi Firelizard- Lady


Eye Color: Dark green
Hair Color: Bright Red
Height: 5'11
Build: Lean
Overall Description: At 19 turns, Vosrik has just about reached his full height, standing a little under six feet. He is lean and muscular, his body toned from his years working in . He is surprisingly pale for someone who spends as much time outside as he does, and can often be found with a sunburn rather than a tan.

He has bright red hair, that is more wavy than curly. He prefers to keep it about ear length, as he's found that it's most manageable for him there. His roundish almond eyes are a dark green, and are framed by long eye lashes. His face is very angular, sharp, and is capped off by a bright red goatee. He thinks it makes him look more impressive.

As for clothing, Vosrik will wear just about anything. He doesn't really care, as long as it's clean. He prefers not to be barefooted, as he has a tendency to bash his toes on things, and that also hides the fact that his big toe on his right foot doesn't have a toenail.


Likes: Nighttime, Naps, Klah
Dislikes: Being angry, Having to make decisions, Getting up earlier than he has to
Strengths: Calm, Easy going, Optimistic
Weaknesses: Unmotivated, Obsessive, Indecisive
Overall Description: Some might call Vosrik lazy, others unmotivated, and while the second is true, he is not lazy. He just doesn't see why he can't take his time doing things. After all, he'll get it done, eventually, and it's likely to have a better result than if he tried to rush.

He is perfectly content doing whatever his assigned role might be, and sees no reason why he should aim higher. He likes where he is, and in fact, he has no desire for a high rank, as he knows that the higher one goes, the more decisions that they have to make. He has enough trouble doing that as it is, and most of his decisions aren't important ones. He has trouble deciding between options, and is far more comfortable when he doesn't have to worry about getting his choice wrong.

He enjoys helping others, happy to pitch in whenever he's asked to do so. He would love it if everyone was his friend, but Vosrik knows that's incredibly unlikely. Not everyone is going to like him, and that's okay.

Everything's okay. Even when things are going wrong, Vosrik is certain that everything happens for a reason. He's pretty sure that everything will work out, even if the results aren't what he was expecting. He's not bothered when things go wrong, or are unexpected, and is pretty much calm all the time. Even when he's upset or angry. He doesn't enjoy being angry, finding it to be a waste of energy, but on the rare occasions that he can't just let it go, he tends to be sullen and broody. These moods can last anywhere from a day to a month, but usually end up shorter.

It can be hard to tell when Vosrik is passionate about something, as he's not one who goes on and on about the things he likes, but when he finds something that he is interested in, he gets a bit obsessed over it. He will spend hours doing what he can to learn more, whether that means lingering in places that he's not supposed to be in, or, more rarely, actually asking for more information from someone who seems to be knowledgeable, and has been known to temporarily neglect his chores for things that have caught his interest. He does eventually get around to doing them, just not necessarily when he was asked to do it.

He has always been more of a night person than a morning one, and he often does more during the hours when he should be in bed. He feels safer in the dark, in the quiet, when everyone is sleeping. It's during these times that he feels free to be himself, to not worry about whether or not he's doing the right thing. He's always done what's expected of him, and he doesn't know if that's really what he wants to be doing.


Mother: Messelin
Father: Voseron
Siblings: Meseri, Vesiri, Korriver, Rinoton
Children: None
Background: Vosrik had been a surprise to his parents, coming nine turns after twin older sisters had been born. They had been trying, but after so many turns of not having another child, had given up, and had fostered a couple instead.

He was a welcome addition to the family, their surprise gift, and with two older sisters and two older brothers, the boy was never spoiled.He was though, expected to become a miner, like his father and older brothers, and he did as his father expected, becoming an apprentice. He would never be the best of miners, but he wasn't the worst either. His work was solid and never skimped on, and the masters knew that he was someone they could trust to do the work properly.

At seventeen, he was aware of the fact that he was unlikely to be made a journeyman for at least several turns yet, but Vosrik was content. Or at least he thought he was.

Then, he met a wher. A Dou, who had been sent with his handler to the mine. Vosrik didn't really know why, nor did he care, because now, all he wanted to know was where did he get one of those?

So he asked.

The wherhandler told him that his Dou had been hatched from a wild egg, but that if he really was interested, that he had heard that one of Sabishi Weyr's clutchers had recently had a run, and that he could try his luck as a candidate. It was worth a try at least, and Vosrik made his way to the weyr.

He wasn't successful that first time, but after having stood, knew that this was where he wanted his future to be. Sure, he wouldn't necessarily be a miner, but... well, nothing said that he wouldn't be one either. He has been at the weyr for two turns now, and with a clutch on the sands, is looking forward to what the future might hold for him.
