physical description:Arktos is built like a bear. He is tall and broad shouldered and is the kind of person who is muscled without really having to work at it. He is pale-skinned, both naturally and from under-exposure to the sun. His short hair is a nondescript brown color and seems to always be sticking up in an unruly fashion. He also has a short beard and mustache. His face is square and serious looking and his eyes are blue-green. He doesn't seem to care much about what he wears as long as its clean, and he always looks tired. His favorite colors are gray and black, but he also likes bright orange, oddly enough.
personality:Arktos is moody. He is usually serious, and cooly logical to the extreme. This is a defense mechanism he acquired after a hard life. Underneath that, with the few people he trusts, he is loyal, and has a mischievous sense of humor. He's probably above average with intelligence, especially on the math side, but he prefers not to let that get around. Instead, he cultivates a reputation of a grouchy aloof man who prefers to solve everything with his muscles. He can be very intimidating, and he often uses this to great affect. He doesn't like to ask for help when he needs it and is for the most part happy leading a solitary existence. However, he would never admit that he does get lonely and and at least part of him yearns to have a partner. He would do anything to help a friend, but he's not very good with showing or dealing with emotions. But he's rarely purposefully cruel. He expects a lot from himself and has a strong work ethic, yet he tends to expect the worst from others. He's often surprised by people who are actually good and kind.
history:Arktos was the second son of a bronzerider and his weyrmate who worked in the lower caverns. His older brother, nearly ten Turns his senior, was a bully who terrorized his younger sibling, and Arkadia, their mother, was a drunk. T'gan cared for his son, but as a Wingleader, had little time for him. Arktos grew up angry and rebellious, giving the creche workers a run for their money. When Arktos was ten, Cloudlung hit the weyr. His older brother was one of the first to succumb, having just Impressed a blue the Turn before. Suddenly free of his tormentor, and having for the first time the full attention of his grieving father, he began to open up.
His younger sister was born when he was eleven Turns, unfortunately causing the death of his mother, whom he still professes not to miss. He took to Kagina immediately and began to use his strength as her protector. He made sure she never suffered the pain of bullying as he did. When he was twelve, he began an apprenticeship under the weyr's smith. He enjoyed the work both the physical and mental, and it helped him to develop the determination and work ethic he is known for now. But then, when he was fourteen, he Impressed Bjornth. Never was their a man more devoted to his lifemate, and never did a dragon cause such a change in a man. A'tos he was called then, was happy, funny, and friendly. He even took a weyrmate soon after graduating from Weyrlinghood, and when he was eighteen, they had a son Ilkos. The baby was now the center of his world, expecting Bjornth. Everything seemed to be perfect. Then a wave of Cloudlung struck the weyr, killing his weyrmate, his child, and his dragon, yet somehow sparing him, leaving him, at the age of 20 Turns, completely alone, save for his father.
Arktos was a broken man, and at first, after spending nearly a turn under the care of the MindHealer, he left the weyr and continued his studies as a smith. But after a couple of turns at that, he was still empty. Then an odd thing happened. His father came to see him and suggested they travel to Tuath Hold, for a special occasion. What Arktos didn't know was that the Queen Wher there had laid eggs which were going to hatch and there was still one not spoken for. Her handler was in fact, the mother of his father's last child, a boy named Garin that Arktos hadn't even known about. T'gan somehow convinced Arktos to take the egg. and once the ugly little head broke shell, he was hooked, not even caring that the black wher was a mutant. Arkysk was no dragon, but he was alike enough to partially fill the hole that Bjornth left while being unlike him enough not to remind him of the brown.
After a turn or so, Arktos was starting to feel better, though still obviously torn by grief and guilt. The weyr suddenly found themselves without a Candidate Master and there were so few riders it was hard to take one from the wings to fill the hole. But a dragonless man seemed perfect, young though he was. So at age 25, Arktos moved back to the weyr as the Candidate Master. A few Turns ago, his younger brother found a flit egg at the beach and gave a large egg to his idolized older brother, which hatched into bronze Forge.

name(s):Arkysk
species wher
age(s):6
description:Arkysk is a black wher, the largest male wher shelled to date, being about the size of an average Queen. He is an almost completely unadulterated black with a few specks of silver and coffee. He seems uncommonly smart for a wher, which just means he's about like a five year old child, but he's extremely protective. Strangers are not allowed In Arktos' rooms without permission. He's a big baby around his master though and would do anything for him.
name(s):Forge
species:firelizard
age(s):2
description:Forge is an extremely shiny bronze with a reddish cast to his hide and many dark flecks, making him look somewhat like molten metal, only less bright. He's a little under average for a bronze, but is very quick and agile. Forge is extremely obedient and loving, but slightly on the dumb and lazy side.
