Overall Description: Rhy'n stands at six foot even. He has blue eyes that appear to have a starburst of white appearing around the pupils. His build is slim in its musculature born from playing instruments and singing most of his life. On his left wrist is a woman's bracelet made of a silveresque metal looped up to hold a small seafoam green heart. When asked or teased about it, he has two responses, to shrug it off, if it was the first, and get into a full on brawl if it is the second, still not explaining why when asked by even authorities as to why he attacked. He likes to wear his riding goggles on his head wherever he goes finding them comfortable, as well as he just plain out forgets about them

Likes:

Music: He loves everything about it and is fascinated by it and everything it encompasses. His favorite, however, is the art of song and singing as he himself sings and is considered quite good at it.



Friends: He loves to be around others. He is known to randomly make a friend just for the sake that he could. However this has a whole other side. He has times where he can be completely alone and be alright with it, he doesn't hang on human Interaction to survive.



Flying: He loves to fly. The feel of it as he does so makes him feel like he is invincible. He is quite the daredevil in flight, pushing his dragon to fly through as small of spaces as the blue can get through without injury. The adrenaline rush he gets is intoxicating and addictive



Fighting: surprisingly, he likes to get rough and tumble through a good fight. He tends not to hold grudges and blames it on the fact he would rather get physical than do a mental war. He is quite handy with a knife, and isn't afraid of using one in the unlikely, but possible event that he needs one for fighting.



Exploring: He has an adventurous side to him, and loves to go out and explore things and places. Discovering new things is up there along with flying, the excitement he feels almost makes him sing a happy tune.



Dislikes: List of 3-5 dislikes here

Rude people: these people irritate him and, even though he likes interaction, he prefers to stay away and not partake in their presence. If he dislikes a person he is not afraid of making it obvious as well as tell them why, which would most likely be for this reason



fish: He HATES fish. The thought, smell and look, everything about fish grosses him out. It's a downside in a world where fish is a staple, but he'd rather eat roots than fish. He couldn't tell you why he hates fish, all he knows is it makes him violently ill if he eats it (probably allergic)



Most Fire lizards: He doesn't like how they swarm around and play, he feels they should have a purpose. 


Strengths: 5+ (list form and please give at least a bit of explanation to each)



* Steady minded : He's not one to lose his head in a bad situation, rather, he looks at it from a detached viewpoint and tries to solve the problem. Saying this, it doesn't mean he /doesn't/ lose his head, he will if the situation is just too much, but it takes a lot to get there.



* Song : He remembers most, if not all things, through song. He comes up with songs on the spot to help him remember. As long as he remembers the song, he remembers the topic.



* Light hearted : Rhy'n is quite playful and likes to play jokes as well as just straight up play. He makes games out of things, especially when entertaining young children.



* Caring: Rhy'n cares about those around him as well as in his wing. If one needs help physically or emotionally, he will help them through it, if he is able.



* ingenuitive : When needed, Rhy'n can scrounge things around himself and make them into things he uses and needs. More than once he's made knives from rocks as he drops the ones he gets when taking risky plant and rock samples



Weaknesses: 5+ (list form and please give at least a bit of explanation to each)



* Direction : if the day is cloudy, his sense of direction is shot, all relies on his dragon. He directs himself by the sun, if the clouds cover the sun, he loses all sense of direction.



* Hunger: He gets hungry too easily. He can put off the feeling for a while, but the feeling comes quite often, and he doesn't know why.



* Self doubting : He doubts himself every time something goes against the plan. He could be doing everything right, but if something happens, he doubts if he did, in fact, /do/ everything correctly



* Attentiveness: this comes and goes. He has been known to retreat into his head, and sometimes the thoughts he thinks aren't the best of thoughts. Sometimes his thoughts become too real where he loses track of what's happening around him and relies on his dragon and flit to bring him back to reality




Describe Yourself:



* Determined : -----once Rhy'n sets his mind towards a task, he finishes it. Though it happens sometimes, he rarely let's anything get in his way, only if something is wrong will it stop him



* Faithful : -----He doesn't commit to in depth relationships past a few nights often. But when he does, he his full person and time towards the other person.



* Loyal: -----he is very loyal to those he lobes and respects. The easiest and surest way to get Rhy'n angry is to insult his weyr and weyrleaders of which he would die giving his loyalty to



* Selfish: -----odd right? Well, he can be quite selfish if he has found something, or someone, he cares deeply enough about. He likes to keep them for himself, and gets jealous when they turn their attentions to someone else, or are in someone else's possession.



* Selfless: -----Hehe, contradictions. When he doesn't see something as /his/ he can be quite Selfless. He is often more than willing to give the shirt off his back or the use of his dragon to those who need them, so long as the reason is valid and not harmful to his dragon



The Magic Touch: Though he uses the normal visual way of mapping, Rhy'n has been known to make songs of his adventures and the terrain around him.

Overall Description: Overall, he is a mixture of personality. If you can get him to sing for you, you're golden and know he either likes you, or he is happy...mostly. e is loyal and caring, and will do anything the weyr needs of him to get things done, and done right

Father: journeyman Harper Jowin, 8.13.2460-2491



Siblings: various as the two weren't exclusive until Rhy'n, and he was their last



Children: Collen [3.27.2486] to a fling that would have turned into marriage had the girl not have gotten sick and died a turn after childbirth. Rhy'n cares for his son, but could not keep him once he became a dragonrider. He gave him the the créche and hasn't been in touch since.

Background: * 2560, 0 Rhylin was born to two harpers.



* 2481, 1 Rhylin's parents marry



* 2482, 7 Rhylin wanders the halls of the Harper Hall and discovers the magic of music and starts to sneak into lessons. A while later he learns he could sing,but since he was too young for apprenticeship, he was told to wait



* 2485, 10 His parents leave him at the Hall when they were invited to play for Fort Weyr's end of Turn celebration. Though unhappy about it, he wishes them safe travels and stays at the Hall



* 2485, 10 News That his parents were found dead while they were on their way back from the weyr reaches Rhylin, he is devastated. He slips into a quiet depression and refuses to talk for about a turn. Through this time he sneaks into apprenticeship sessions and listens while the older children play 



*2487 12 Rhylin finds his outlet for sorrow through music and starts to apprentice for the harpers, focusing mainly on the lyre and his voice.



*2491. 16 Rhylin has a child with a dredge woman, they name him Collen. Soon after the mother. Who had a difficult pregnancy, dies of illness. To cope with the loss, Rhylin delves back into music and tries to take care of the child as best he could.



*2491.16 later that year he Searched and brought to  Sabishi Weyr, allowed to take the boy.



*2493.18 Impresses Charmth

*2494.20 Is appointed Weyrling master of Sabashi Weyr

*2505.24 Rhylin is searching through a side cave of the weyr, trying to find a candidate, when he comes across a batch of crushed flit eggs. He is about to leave when a motion catches his eye. In he back corner, an egg is shaking, cracks already starting to show. He know what was happening, but his compassion leads him to feeding the small purple as she struggles around the floor towards him, chirping and crying. And so he has a flit, much to his and Charmth's annoyance. 


Other: His name is Rhylin (as stated above) Though his 'in' follows the last part of his father's name, he two wanted to be different. "Rhy" is from his mother's mother, Rhym since both the parents respected the old woman greatly, they waned to name a child after her. "lin" is from his father's mother. Linna. She was the one who didn't pressure the two to be married even though they had several kids together (More than the other flings) 

He was Selected because there was no reason to Steal. He was found out on the road as he was set to a task of bringing a letter from Fort to another hold. A dragon spotted him and he agreed to go, not really partial either way to the Holder's viewpoints of the Riders.
