Name: J'ston (Jerston)
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Hetero
Rank: Blue Rider
Appearence:
Jerston stands to a height of 5'3 when he straightens completely.His eyes are a medium brown that compliments his blond hair. His hair is kept short.
Since losing his foot he had to use a crutch to walk and he is slightly unbalanced. Over the years he's managed to gain confidence and skill in his use with the crutch, but that doesn't prevent the occasional accident. He has several scars on his hands and arms from catching himself against walls and such things when he fell.
Soon after his Impression to Mirith a device was made for him to help him walk. This, simply put, was a false foot made of wood and leather. This foot was made to help him move around rather than having him reliant on a crutch or another's help. The wood that gaps the space between the stump where his foot once was and the floor is carved into the shape of a normal foot bearing a sandle. The remainder of the wood was carved and smoothed to fit around the back of his calf and straps buckled tightly around the open front to keep it from sliding. The stump itself settles into a bowl carved to fit it and padded with soft leather. While this greatly improved his mobility, Jerston still walks with a bit of a limp. Occasionally his balance will be off, but mostly he has adjusted to walking and even running with the false foot over the past Turn and a half.
Personality:
Jerston is pretty out going. He's determined to be useful regardless of the loss of his foot. While most people consider his handicap a weakness, he considers it a strength. He works harder than any normal person to make up for the lack of confidence people have in him. In fact, he goes above and beyond that assigned to him. Give him kitchen chores and he will finish those and then go to work a shift in the infirmary and then find a drudge to spend the remainder of the day helping take their load of the work.
All the while he works he hopes to prove to all those that whisper behind his back or openly give him the scornful looks that he is not handicapped at all. He is not just some cripple that will never be more than a healer's journeyman. He can be more, but he isn't just proving it to them, he is proving it to himself as well.
Jerston definitely has the healers touch. He is a gentle soul that genuinely cares about his patients. He leaves one with the impression that they are in more than capable hands. However, there is more than gentleness to him. He didn't advance in rank just by being a gentle push over. When it is called for, Jerston can take on a commanding role. For example, when an apprentice is taking their time or in a situation where haste is called for over the gentle hand.

Secret:
History: Jerston was raised by his father, a blue rider. His mother didn't want to bear him, but his father, while not telling her she couldn't abort, made it clear that he wished she wouldn't. From the time Jerston was four His father took him on searches and did other things that fathers generally did with their sons.
One such activity was fishing. Around the age of seven Jerston’s father took him to the fishing hold he’d grown up in and the two sailed on the last fishing boat to leave the shore for morning. While they were out a storm blew up unexpectedly, giving them no time to take the boat back into harbor. Being seven and curious, Jerston didn’t listen to his father when was told to go below deck. It was both fortunate and unfortunate that he didn’t.
If he had, he would have lost his life. Because he didn’t, he lost his foot and his father. You see the storm tossed the vessel about on the sea like a toy. Jerston ended up being tossed into the nets and tangled beyond help in such conditions. Had the seas been calm his father may have been able to cut him free, but as it were, his father never reached him.
As he rushed towards his son the mast was snapped by the force of the wind in the sail they’d been trying to lower. As it was blown away it took the bluerider with it. Jerston remembers little from the time Jerith passed between and the time he washed onto shore, clinging to a waterlogged board the next morning. The nets still dragged his foot towards the depths and it was a wonder he’d stayed on the board, but it was also obvious the boat had been destroyed, like smashed against rocks or a reef. Others were found barely alive in the calm waters that followed.. Some bodies were found. His father’s was not among them. If only they had Jerith fly with the boat instead of sunning himself on the shore…
The healer in the small hold had no choice but to remove the foot. In an attempt to console the child after such tragic loss, one of the younger boys brought him an egg from a wild firelizard clutch that he’d found. Of course, while he loved the electric blue that hatched from the egg, it could never replace his father or Jerith.
Nor could the puppy that crawled onto his cot while he was sleeping one night and refused to leave his side since. Sympathetic, the healer took Jerston under his wing while he recovered and treated him as a son. A turn later he was taken to Healer Hall as an apprentice and has just walked the tables to become a Journeyman Healer.
Soon after Jerston was searched for a clutch on the Weyr's sands. The search rider dropped him on the sands as they made it back just in time for the eggs to begin hatching. There he Impressed to blue Mirith.
It a care package meant both as congratulations for the impression and gifts celebrating his Turningday, J'ston recieved, among many other things, a letter to work with a Master Healer on his new false limb and three firelizard eggs that hatched into a blue like the ocean, a bronze and a brass.
As weyrling training went on he also continued his work as a healer. It was fortunate that he'd kept practice as he was on sight when the Weyrharper took ill and he could not say whether the man would have lived through the heartattack had someone with a healer's knowledge not been present to act quickly.
Soon after he found himself present for a firelizard hatching where two more blues Impressed to him.
Pets:
Name: Spark
Animal/Color: Blue Firelizard
Appearance: Spark is an electric blue in color, with varying shades of lighter blue throughout his hide. His wing sails are slightly darker than the rest of his body.
Personality: Spark is well trained and intelligent for a firelizard. He knows just how to land to keep from throwing Jerston off balance. He follows commands without a second thought, as long as they are from his bonded or confirmed by his bonded. The downfall; he doesn't like to leave his Jerston's side for longer than absolutely necessary so he wouldn't make a good messenger outside of the Weyr, really.
Name:Shara
Animal/Color: Golden Canine
Appearance: Shara is light golden color, almost more blond really, with bits of white breaking in here and there on her muzzle, stomach and tail. The as copperish-red sheen to her coat. (think almost golden-retriever, for terrain point of reference.)
Personality: Shara is Jerston's constant companion unless ordered otherwise, and even then it's with reluctance. As a pup she claimed him as hers and refused to be taken from his side. She acts as his balance when he stumbles, moving in to pull him back to center if she can or cushion his fall if she can't. She is also very protective. If he is in a position where he can't defend himself, Shara will be sure no one can get close enough to touch him. No one. However, if he's fine, then she's perfectly friendly and approachable. Feel free to pet, play and otherwise adore. She is quite the attention whore.
Name: Landor
Animal/Color: Blue Firelizard
Appearance: This blue is unique he is a very dark shade of blue almost black in coloration. His unique feature is instead of his tail ending normally it has a stinger on the end. He also has a ruffle of almost fur around his head and neck
Personality: Protective, Loyal, Defensive, Loving
Base Creature: Manticore
Name: Drake
Animal/Color: Blue Firelizard
Appearance:This blue does not have a hide in fact he has scales, and unlike others does not seem to need firestone to breath fire. He is highly unusual and will always cook food before eating it.
Personality: Loves fire, Energetic, Pyromaniac, hates eating uncooked food, demanding, loves to collect gold objects
Name: Ferior
Animal/Color: Bronze Firelizard
Appearance: A solid medium bronze in color
Personality: Haughty, arrogant...This bronze is not afraid to inform others of just where they stand in in his eyes and if you step out of line he will readily put you back. His respect goes only to the queen he flies and his bonded. That said, to these he is loyal and adoring..
Name: Ondas
Animal/Color: Blue Firelizard
Appearance: Navy blue covers his nose, tail and very tips of his wings, while medium and light blue form waves over this firelizard's body giving the image of the sea before a storm.
Personality: Steady and surprisingly bright for a firelizard, Ondas learned quickly from Spark's example. Fiercely loyal, loving.. this blue can also a bit over protective.
Name: Honey
Animal/Color: Brass Firelizard
Appearance: This Brass sports creamy head almost a gold in color if truth were to be told, though lacking the shimmer of a true gold and shades of medium and light browns were mixed through. Any darker and the Brass may have been mistaken as a brown if not for the feminine form.
Personality: Named more for the personality Mirith sensed in her than anything else, Honey is sickly sweet and easily flows from one person to another... Ready to garner their attentions, but not without leaving something sticking in the last person's mind... Whether it be her voice.. the way she comforted them.. Or a parting as image as she's been wont to do at times. They will know she has been there until time washes away the sticky residue she's left behind.
DRAGON NAME:Mirith
COLOUR: Blue (Code: 38788A)
AGE: 1 Turn 9 Months
CLUTCH/PARENTS:
PERSONALITY: Mirith is generally a happy, fun-loving dragon. He likes the company of his fellow dragons, especially blues and greens. If he were a human, he'd be the gregarious one hosting parties and requesting a regular poker night.
His mind is generally tailored to games of strategy, which some find surprising as a blue-- he'll like to be interested in things like chess, especially if it's played where he can see it, and he'll always comment on things like threadfighting formations and drills.
Though he's very interested in these things, he's more interested in a leadership role then a follower, and if he's unable to attain one, he'll become frustrated and unhappy. He wants to lead, and he thinks he has the skills-- and anyway, he certainly has the skills to make people more efficient in wings! He'll frequently get discouraged, and you, J'ston, will need to bring him out of the mud when this happens.
