physical description: Guy is not a typical looking Pernese, his short honey blond hair is often bleached the color of straw by the sun, and it stands up in unruly spikes. His skin is tanned golden and his eyes are deep green- blue, like an arctic sea. His body is stocky and lean, he's not particularly tall at about five foot nine, but he is both strong and agile. He prefers to wear wherhide tanned golden or brown, usually pants and a vest over a white linen shirt. He wears a golden and copper hoop in his right ear, and occasionally slim bracelets of twisted copper or gold.
personality: Guy is a generally cheerful person, fairly friendly and often seeming more wise and mature than his twenty years. Not much seems to bother him and he tends to go with whatever happens. He doesn't often get angry, and even when he does, he doesnt raise his voice, he just becomes stern and silent. Though he is friendly, he's not the type to speak for no reason, or gossip. He carefully considers his words and gives good advice.
Though he is intelligent, he is not the type to sit around and read a book. He prefers action to idleness. He loves to be outside, hunting, or practicing swordwork, or sailing and swimming. He has always loved the sea, yet is also aware of it's dangers. He loves machinery and gadgets of all kinds, and has an innate ability to see how things work, and how to take them apart and put them together. The most interesting part about his personality is that he is afraid of women. He has no problem speaking with them, but he's terrified of being touched by women and he doesn't really know why.
history:Gailardian was the youngest son of wealthy minor holders on a small island east of Waverunner Seahold. The holding was fairly new, but quite prosperous, and as the baby of the family, Gailardian was more than a bit spoiled. But that all changed when a freak storm swept over the island out of season, and no one was prepared. The young boy was swept out to sea, and might have drowned but was rescued by a pod of shipfish. Once back on land, it was discovered that the little boy and a servant named Pere were the only ones to survive the storm.
After this, the pair moved to Tuath Hold where Pere's family lived and the young boy was raised among the servants. Still he did not have a terrible childhood, though he might not have been as doted on as before, he was still loved and mostly treated well as long as he avoided the uncertain moods of the Lord Holder.
As luck would have it, the Lord Holder's eldest son Haidar was just a Turn older than he and despite differing personalities they became fast friends, learning swordplay together and swimming, sailing and exploring. Gailardian never seemed to mind how spoiled Haidar was, and his friendship helped Haidar get over the fact that his father generally ignored him. When the boys grew older, everyone began to notice how clever Gailardian was with mechanical things, especially after he fixed the windmill without help when he was just eleven. He was encouraged to go to the Smithcraft Hall for apprenticeship, and on the urging of his friend Haidar, he did.
He thrived in the crafthall, gaining more skill as well as becoming stronger in body and mind. The masters appreciated Gailardian's gifts and encouraged him to stretch his limits. He began to make a little money off his creations and he used his spare money to buy himself a firelizard egg when he was sixteen. It hatched into a brown that he named Gear. At eighteen he walked the tables as a journeyman and took his first posting at the weyr, to learn under the master there as well as augment the journeyman already there, who were mostly dragonriders and none that specialized in machines. He became close with the Candidate Master, as they were both smiths, and Arktos convinced the boy to be examined by a Searchdragon. To Gailardian's surprise, he was Searched as a Candidate. He didn't Impress at his first Hatching, but he wasn't too upset, he was content as he was. Plus his friend Haidar didn't Impress either, and though they weren't as close as before it was nice to have company.

If dragonrider:
Forged in Fire Egg - Black Basalth- 333333 This large black will rival even the Queens in size at 44 feet in length. Not only is Basalth huge, he looks tough. His hide is rather dull, grainy and even cracked-looking, despite being healthy and smooth. He's also squarish, wide, and muscular, the exact opposite of Obsidiath. He is built for strength and stamina rather than speed or agility and no one will have more lasting power in the sky. Those who speak with him will notice that his mindvoice is unusually gravelly and deep.
Basalth is a bit slow on the uptake. Not that he's stupid, his mind just moves at a deliberate pace. Thus he can tend to seem humorless at best, and unhinged at worst, since he tends to not get jokes until long after the fact, which causes unpredictable fits of laughter. Despite this he'll eventually develop a steadfast and deep sort of wisdom. He will be a guardian of the weak and an absolutely loyal and trustworthy soul. He is friendly, and even oddly gentle at times, but isn't the type to engage in mindless chatter. Basalth is a hard worker, full of natural stubbornness, but he is also rather fond of sleeping and sunbathing, even swimming, though he tends to just lay in the water rather than actively move about. It's very hard to make this black angry, but if you do, watch out. His is a temper slow to build, but explosive in finish.
pets:
name(s):Gear
species:firelizard
age(s):four Turns
description: Gear is a small but stocky brown, a mass of blocky ankles and ropy muscles. He's the mixed color of copper and rust. He's a serious flit, and very helpful, but he's quite shy, generally hiding from others in his pets hair. Or trying to in any case.
