9.Calex (14) youngest child and least healthy though he does his share of work, no one expects him to survive to adulthood.
Appearance:
Finnly is none too concerned for his appearance. As a sailor he was permitted to wear whatever he could afford to; mostly a loose white tunic and a pair of tattered black pants. His boots were shabby at best, usually second hand or even third. Though some of the older sailor’s took pity on his sore feet when he was younger, now they couldn’t care in the least. He was old enough to tough it out. He has his black hair long enough to be pulled back in a small pony tail. A red kerchief covers his head when it’s particularly sunny and when it isn’t, the kerchief is around his neck.
Though he is well muscled from being on a ship, he takes no real notice of his strength. He cannot say that hard work never gave him anything as the Captain would tell him. He is a tall man. Finnly stands at six foot three and is still growing at eighteen. If he gets any taller he’ll easily be the tallest man he knows and one of the taller men on Pern. Finnly also has a tan over his upper body. His face is also tanned and wind burned.
His golden eyes (reminiscent of a hawk’s) show only that he has seen far more than a boy his age should have seen. There is an unspoken wisdom there. Though one would call him attractive it wouldn’t be in a usual way. His eyebrows are dark and thick and his cheekbones no more high than the average person’s might be. His eyelashes are thick and dark much like his eyebrows and hair. He had a straight nose, until he got himself beat up, now its slightly crooked. His mouth is usually in a secretive smile. Something that would remind one of the Mona Lisa, which can almost seem to be mocking you.
Personality:
Finnly since he was a young boy, had always been determined to have whatever he desired to have. Even with his little brother tagging along, he could be stubborn to a fault. If someone told him not to do something but he wanted to do it, he did it, regardless of the consequences of the action. He was not known to be a reckless child but he ended up in plenty of trouble by not listening to the advice of others. He was always the first person to know what they wanted. Finnly didn’t doubt easily what he believed to be true. That of course went two ways. His faith in things would not be easily shaken, however he was not one to change even if changing was the right thing to do.
As he grew older he learned that not all things were given to you. At the cothold he had to work and work hard for his meals. On the Golden Lady things were no different. He knew the value of a job well done more than just the reward of food and lodging. Something in him felt good when he accomplished a task. Even now he works as hard as he can to be indispensable to the ship and so that he can feel he has given one hundred percent to a task. He feels a constant need to prove himself.
The cool and calm Finnly, has been a steadfast type his entire life. When the road gets rocky, one knows that Finnly won’t abandon it. He faces life with an air of confidence and calm that is usually seen in older people. An eighteen turn old with this sort of calmness is a rare find. It is like he thinks over every situation and doesn’t overreact. He learned that lesson long ago. Overreacting didn’t change what was going to happen, it only made things worse for you. His dislike for change does not prevent him from being unruffled in tight or hectic situations. Perhaps that was a lesson given to him by the sea herself.
All things on the planet are real and tangible. There are no firelizards, dragons have a purpose and shipfish are a sailor’s tale to keep people who fall into the sea from panicking. In fact, Finnly doesn’t believe anything that would seem impractical. He is a very pragmatic person. Silly tales sung by harpers do no more than impress children and the ill-educated or dimmest of people on Pern. He finds that things that are silly are not worth his time. Even so, a good joke never harmed anyone. Although he is a realist and sometimes a party pooper, he can be fun when he wants to.
Finnly enjoys a good joke and a good ale. He would never drink so much as to get drunk, since he has seen first hand what a vile person that changes men into. He is also fairly good at poker though he rarely plays or bets. The other sailors don’t like him to win and they most certainly don’t like him to have their hard earned money. Sometimes he enjoys watching. Mostly he prefers to stay clear when they play and has a chat with his brother. He, like any sailor , uses his time on land to his best interest. Although he and his brother are kept under close surveillance, it doesn’t stop Finnly from wandering around and finding female companions now and again. He isn’t a casanova but he does like women.
Finnly is a fairly agreeable person who tries to stay clear of trouble. Unfortunately he seems to end up in trouble anyway. Some of that is due to being stubborn, some of it is due to him being young and still more of it is due to him being a poor sailor too lowly for most people to even look at. This gives drunk dimglows a few reasons to start fights with the youth. Also the sailors get angry with him at times and start things. The Captain gets easily irritated by this sort of behavior so Finnly has done all he can to avoid it in the future.

Dragon Info
Name: Thoroth (Thor-oth)
Color: Blue
Age: 2 Turns
Description: Thoroth's coloring is a dark slate blue though it might even be considered more blue than slate blue. He has a lighter coloring on his underbelly up along the middle of his chest to the underside of his chin and all the way to the underside of the tip of his tail. He has light blue claws on his back feet and dark on his front. His size is larger than the average blue but he is not the largest in his clutch. Thoroth is a sturdy looking blue with his larger size and ample muscle mass. He may not be the most agile blue but he is one of the strongest.
Personality: As it happens, Thoroth is a very strong dragon in mind and body. He knows what he wants and will do what he must to achieve it. His rider may not like that the dragon will risk himself now and again but Thoroth feels a need to show everyone how powerful he is. The blue is known to show off and pull daring stunts. He could be called brave although sometimes it seems he simply has no fear. There may of course be a deeper need to prove himself that comes before fear and before any bravery on his part. He is quite stubborn and set in his ways. Trying to battle him out for something he's already decided upon often ends in failure. Whether these decisions are based on a whim or based on an intense desire is hard to say. This could end up being an issue between he and his rider when it comes times for mating flights. How does one stop such a headstrong blue from flying every green that rises?
The blue does have a calmer more malleable personality that will come out when he is only with his rider. He can be quite tender towards those he cares about. The softer more changeable side to him may come out when he is around people or dragons he likes. Thoroth strives to be one of the best in the Weyr and in doing so can be a driven and somewhat ambitious blue. Not that he has his eyes on the Weyrleadership but more that he wants to earn himself a reputation for being one of the best. He cares very very much for his reputation and would prefer to keep a coarse, unfeeling sort of persona around the other dragons and riders. Can't make exceptions or people would start thinking he was a softy. He has an often dry sense of humor that few get other than his rider though he rarely jokes around with other dragons unless they are good friends
