PERSONA DESCRIPTION
Height: 6'10"
Weight: 305 lbs
Build: B'hai is a bear of a man, with a broad, well-muscled chest, barrel-like arms and thick legs. He is imposing at his gentlest.
Hair color/style: His hair is longish, hanging just to his shoulders and evenly cut all around. It would have been jet black in his teen years, but now is nearly solid white.
Eye color/shape: His eyes are piercing icy blue, and when he scowls at an errant student the lines around them cause him to look that much more predatory.
Complexion/Skin Color: His skin is lined and weathered, but not necessarily wrinkled.
Facial features: His face his craggy and angular, and is unattractive by pretty much anyone's standards, but his appearance as never been a concern of his, as long as he is clean and clean-shaven.
Style of dress: He is most often seen in leather riding breeches, and loose-fitting white tunics.
Habits: Scowls. A lot.
Hobbies: Spends a lot of time in the archives, travels to other weyrs to research threadfighting tactics.
Pets: Brown firelizard, Orion, that helps him keep an eye on the weyrlings.
All Weyrlings learn to spy the little brown and behave.
Sexual Orientation: heterosexual
Personality: B'hai is a gruff, course man, with no high-born sensibilities or sense of decorum. He is blunt and to the point, and pulls no punches. He cannot tolerate idiocy, and deals with it swiftly and promptly. A promise is an oath, and will not be broken. He refuses to tell a lie, sometimes to the detriment of others, and probably has something to do with his perpetual lack of female accompaniment. It would take a mightily patient and loving woman to tolerate him, and one equally as blunt.
Background/history: B'hai was born and bred in the weyr, and has always believed firmly in the traditions of the oldtimes. He worked hard and studied the ways of dragonkin. He read the old hides, and learned the old ways fervently, and looked down on those who left the confines of the weyr.
He learned his lessons well, and chafed at the forced inactivity of dragons. Dragons were meant to fly Thread, and there was no Thread falling for them to fly. He threw himself into the learning of his chosen life. He studied with the Dragonhealers, and gleaned whatever he could from the Weyrleaders about recordskeeping, and such. He floated naturally into Weyrling Training. He was taken on as an unofficial assistant, and found his calling. He worked trained his weyrlings well, and suffered few casualties. He was quickly promoted to Weyrlingmaster Second. He never suffered the burnout of weyrlingmasters that trained in Passes, however, for he never had to send his weyrlings into Threadfall to be "blooded" and killed.
Bolstered with additional manpower, he trained and drilled his weyrlings, building strength, reaction, and skill. When at last 2520 came, and Thread filled the skies, his weyrlings were prepared as well as any could have been for a menace none had ever faced before.
The casualties were high, and shook B'hai to the core. In spite of his training, many of his former weyrlings died, and many weyrlings who were ferrying firestone to the fighting wings were injured that day. It only strengthened his resolve, and he trains his weyrlings quickly and furiously, preparing them for the horrors of threadfall. He spends much of his free time in the archives, hunting for lost secrets and tactics that might be key to saving more lives in the air.
When Weyrlingmaster Marga stepped down frmo the position willingly, suffering from burnout, he was the natural choice for the position, and accepted it on with gusto.
When Wavecrest's last Weyrling class graduated, he decided that he'd had enough of children, and he transferred to the colder climate of Cibryen Weyr to give himself a break. He rides in a regular wing, and is glad for the lack of responsibility, although the Weyrleaders have their eye on him. He is a waste as a simple wingrider.

Date/Location Impressed: 02.19.2499/Wavecrest Weyr
Description: Naroth is a broad-chested, broad-winged dragon built for power and endurance. He's as large as a small bronze, and has the staying power of one of his larger metallic counterparts. He sacrifices agility with his size, however, and he relies on his smaller kin to protect him from clumps he cannot dodge. His hide is a deep, dark brown, like a thick cup of unsweetened klah, mottled with lighter shades of strong, creamy milk-laden klah. His head is short and thick.
Abilities: Powerful, considerable endurance. Can control even the most erratic gold weyrling, and very talented at mid-air rescues.
Relationships: none at present
Personality: Stoic, quiet dragon. Reinforces his rider's decisions simply by his commanding presence. He stands out among other dragons, simply by virtue of his personality.
