CHARACTER INFORMATION
Common Knowledge: S’tar is 18, weyrborn, and the weyrman of Last Hope Weyr. He is the rider of Truth, the green queen hatched by Corath. His world revolves around Truth, and he also has very high regard for Perone. He has a firm sense of right and justice, and tries to put others before himself. He often seems stand-offish, but those who know him better realize he doesn't wish to intrude on others and is merely awaiting an invitation.
Character Name: Santar
Birthdate (age): 3288 (18 turns)
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Southern Weyr
Current Location: Last Hope Weyr
Family: Mother – Cookie, headwoman, Last Hope Weyr
Grandmother - Rosinda, head cook, Last Hope Weyr
Sister - Sayna, headwoman second, Last Hope Weyr
Physical Description: S’tar is fairly tall, but lanky. As he's grown older his weight is starting to catch up with his height, but for the last few turns he's had a bit of a gangly look to him. In spite of that, he moves gracefully and is light on his toes. His hair is dark brown with reddish tints that appear in the right light, and his eyes are an equally dark brown. He is almost always smiling – a friendly, genuine smile that reaches his eyes. He tends to wear dark colors, and in recent years has started paying more attention to his appearance so that his outfits look more put together.
Personality: S'tar is finally starting to come out of his teenaged years and find himself a more capable, mature and confident adult. He has a strong moral compass, and has a hard time compromising when he feels a moral line is being crossed. Though he may have selfish desires -- and sometimes loses out to them -- he does his best to put his weyr first, and others in general before himself. He understands his position as one not of privilege, but of responsibility. Becoming a dragonrider at 12 and weyrman at 15, S'tar often feels older than he is. He finds himself distanced from his peers, and often wishes he had more in common with them. He hesitates to include himself in others' doings and conversations for fear of imposing, which may cause others to view him as stand-offish. Turns of practice have taught him to keep his temper and his tongue; it's hard to get a rise out of him these days. Although Perone is still able to manipulate him as before, he is becoming less naive and, as he has gained confidence, has started to become more opinionated and assertive in dealing with weyr business.
History: S’tar was born in Southern Weyr to Last Hope’s headwoman, Cookie. This would be a surprise to most, as Cookie has never shown her son any preferential treatment that might mark him has different from the other weyrbrats. He was raised in the crèche with the other weyrbrats, and his childhood was nothing extraordinary. He had no particularly close friends, but his cool temper and generally laid-back personality made it easy for him to get along with most of the other children.
When S’tar was 12, after the move from Southern to Last Hope Weyr, Corath, rose for the last time and laid a single egg. Perone, now the weyrleader, hand-selected S'tar as the candidate for the egg and began training her protégé in earnest. S’tar remains uncertain why he was chosen, but accepted his new role willingly, eager for the chance to impress, and worked hard to learn all Perone could teach him.
Though most everyone met the hatching of a mere green with despair, Perone proclaimed the little hatchling the Green Queen Truth, the salvation of Pern. Though many scoffed, Perone never wavered in her support of the boy and his green dragon and S'tar grew to admire her and look up to her as his mentor as she continued tutoring him in his unorthodox role as weyrman. When S'tar was 15, Truth rose for the first time. She was caught by Perone's blue Wrath and – to the amazement of all – she clutched and laid a gold egg.
S'tar and Perone have been weyrmates since, and S'tar adores Perone second only to Truth.
DRAGONRIDER INFORMATION
Dragonrider Rank: Weyrman
Honorific: S'tar
Dragon Name: Truth
Hatch Location: Last Hope
Age: 3 turns
Color: Green (clutching)
Physical Description: Truth is on the small side even for a green, lithe and graceful. Her hide is sea-green, the color seeming to shift constantly in the light like the ocean depths. Even her movements are liquid; she is agile in flight and renowned for her aerial acrobatics.
Personality: Unlike either greens or golds, Truth is a category unto herself. She lacks the fickle flightiness of her color, but is not as self-important as most golds. Generally speaking, Truth has one mood: bliss. She is always friendly, optimistic and content. Of course she becomes moody before a mating flight, and is protective of her clutches. Even with her eggs, she is not averse to visitors – merely watchful. She is devoted to her mate, Wrath, and S’tar doubts she’ll ever let another dragon catch her – which is fine with him.
