D'BURG



Name: D'burg (Dosburg)
Bond: Green-Blue-Silver Meseket Promontores
Origin: Darkling Dawn
Age: 25
Rank: Green Rider
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Height: 5' 11"
Appearance: D'burg is a tall man with short, blond hair and skin just a little darker than an average tanned white person. He's got freckles a little paler than his skin across his face and shoulders. He likes to wear loose, flowing clothing with open necks, though that can be impractical in mountainous, seasonal weather.

He's got an athletic build and a dramatic way of presenting himself that comes across as a mix between flamboyancy and theatre-style training. Indeed, while he was not a theatre kid himself, he was often thought of as the sibling with all the jokes and the active imagination.

Personality: D'burg is a farmboy from a stakehold outside of Darkling Dawn, raised with a passel of other children to tend animals that helped feed the local dragon population. As a middle child, he got overlooked, especially since his mother was sick for most of his childhood, and it left him feeling a sense of emptiness that he attributed to being stuck in the muck with base animals.

He followed in the footsteps of his sister, Mondriel, when he began to look for ways to bond his own dragon. A Searchrider had come through their farm some years earlier, but he'd been kept from taking up the call by his older brother, D'leck, who was rigid about keeping the farm running no matter what the cost.

D'burg snuck away around the same time that Mondriel was properly requested to come to Darkling Dawn, trudging to the lone mountain by foot when he couldn't catch a ride. When he finally made it there, he bonded with Meseket a little under a week later-- almost as though she were waiting for him.

He hasn't looked back since. With such a variety of people and dragons, D'burg is in his element. It turns out that, when not put to rough farm labour, he is a sparkling diamond, being both witty and charming, extroverted and outspoken. Sometimes he lacks grace, and there's more than one person who has grown tired of his ways when he keeps close company for too long, but he believes they're too stodgy and need to learn to live a little. Anything in life can be made dreary by hard work, but it's celebrating life's pleasures that is the rarest and highest form of indulgence!

MESEKET PROMONTORES

Name: Meseket Promontores
Bond: D'burg
Hatched at: Darkling Dawn, Birthday Giveaway 2009
Gender: Female
Species: Avengaean Mutt
Colour: Green-Blue-Silver
Size: Medium Small (7'7" at the shoulder, 27' long)
Abilities: Fire Magic. This dragon can summon fire and move it around, making it grow or shrink on command.
Functional Magic. This dragon generates a kind of magical numen, which it can pluck from within and around its body to shape into functional objects or intentions. This aura can help physically sustain it (like food) when food is scarce, and slows its aging drastically. Paradoxically, when this aura is over-sapped, the dragon will suffer physical ailment, exhaustion, and could potentially perish.
Illusion Magic. This dragon can manipulate light in false shapes, and augment sound to bolster the illusion.
Shapeshifting (Full Spectrum). This dragon can change its own size and shape to become nearly anything else it desires. Much larger and much smaller shapes take significant effort.
Shapeshifting (Full Spectrum). This dragon can change its own size and shape to become nearly anything else it desires. Much larger and much smaller shapes take significant effort.
Verbal Speech. This dragon can speak aloud.
Personality: Meseket is a robust dragoness who loves the sensual things in life. The moment she caught her first psychic whiff of D'burg, she claimed him, and she made it known to any other hatchlings (in shell or not) that he was hers, to stay away. D'burg didn't even realize he'd been claimed until she trotted up to him and announced her name-- right off the sands, finding him in the lower caverns asking about a place to sleep while he was registering himself to become a candidate.

Growing up, she's only become more confident. It allows her a kind of relaxed swagger that is hard to match, mellowed into a kind of sophistication that allows her to be at her ease even when things are tense. So long as nobody challenges D'burg, she is unflappable. She adores him and, somewhere in the back of her mind, is aware that eventually she will lose him to time. It makes her possessive of his health, and she's occasionally joked that he needs to make her lots of babies to choose from when he's old-- something that sits in a weird place between the two of them, given that, now fully grown, she's developed a tendency to shapeshift into her own human form.

Regardless of their own relational status, Meseket asked D'burg to transfer to Nidus Descendi because she was curious about his siblings, and because she didn't want to move back to his family farm. She's interested in the Star City immigrants and their wily technology, and in the way that tradition melds with futurism. It gives her lots to think and talk about, philosophically, something that both she and D'burg have become quite interested in.
