Personality: At first glance, T'lyn might seem distant, weak-willed, and not like anyone who will amount to anything, but that is not so. He is intensely caring and protective of those who he cares for and respects, and wants the best for them. Therefore, he is often vindictive to those who have wronged the ones he cares for. Though he seemed at first to be weak-willed, he isn't; if someone tells him to do something, and it is something that needs to be done, he'll do it because he knows it needs to be done. But that doesn't mean he'll take orders from anyone, mind - he has his limits and his pride, and isn't a weak-spined lapdog like some think.
While sometimes his pride and pride for others clouds his judgement, T'lyn is a solid man, knowing what's best - for him, for the weyr, for Pern - and not afraid to do it, no matter the risks. He has learned over the years to take scorn with dignity, and though it still stings, he won't let it show on the outside. Even for potential betrayals or plots - strong words, but then, T'lyn likes strong words - like the business with Lilia and Panitath Rising when he is not around, if it is for a good reason, he'll understand it, and take it with silent dignity. Due to this, some might think him unobservant, but really he isn't; he sees everything around him.
T'lyn is nearly as silent as his dragon, only speaking when there is something to say. He understands better than any that words can be dangerous things, and he doesn't say anything without thinking about it first, lest he regret saying it later.
Being the son of a Masterharper, T'lyn still greatly enjoys music, though he knows that if he had a choice between being a dragonrider or Masterharper, he would pick rider every time. Faranth forbid he would be caught singing aloud in public, but in private he may sing or whistle a tune.
Family: Father - Warryn a MasterHarper
Foster Mother - Coprsa
Siblings - Weban - dead
Children- Kaylan (9) - being raised by T'lyn
Pets: None
History: T'lyn was born Tranjlyn, to the MasterHarper of Hadi Hold, while his mother died shortly after his birth. He is the yougnest of seven children, five of which were fostered off shortly after his mother's death, by his father with a heavy heart. From the time he was old enough to crawl, Tranjlyn ate, slept, and breathed music, as that was all his blood-father was interested in.
His oldest sister, Weban, pretty much raised him. She cooked and cleaned for the other children, while their father went out and made beautiful music for the Hold. When Tranjlyn turned four, he started to harbor hatred toward his father, for making Weban work so hard at such a young age. Two turns later, Weban died during childbirth, losing both the babe and her own life.
After Weban's death, Tranjlyn asked his father to foster him off to another family. Warryn, Tranjlyn's father, refused at first, having only one of his remaining six children with him, but after another turn of Tranklyn's presistance, Warryn sent him to Hadi Weyr to live with a drudge woman who had found herself to be unable to bare children. Tranjlyn has not been back to Hadi Weyr since, and doesn't plan to go back, ever.
The drudge woman who became his foster-mother, at seven turns, was Corpsa, who lived alone at Hadi Weyr. She was more than just a simple drudge woman. She was everything; a cook, a cleaner, a server, a helping hand, a kind hand; she became Tranjlyn's world. Then when he turned ten, something else came into his world; Dragons. Seeing as Corpsa lived in the Lower Caverns, Tranjlyn spent most of his days in the dark caverns, exploring, or helping out. He rarely went outside, into the bright light. The only reason he ever left the caverns was cause Corpsa sent him out to play with some of the other Weyrbrats.
Once learning about dragons, Tranjlyn spent all his time trying to learn how to become one. He was twelve when a Topaz Searchdragon finally glanced his way and informed his Rider that he was good enough to Stand. For eight turns, Tranjlyn Stood and worked hard. He started helping out the younger candidates while the weyrlings looked down on him for not Impressing. Corpsa simply gave him the word of advice to wait. His dragon had yet to be born and when it was, it would be the greatest companion to Tranjlyn and that it was worth the wait.
Out of all the time around the Weyr, Tranjlyn had missed something; the looks Corpsa got from other Riders and dragons. It wasn't until Tranjlyn turned fourteen turns, and Violet Panitath was a turn old and the then Senior Weyrwoman passed away, leaving nineteen turn old Lilia as the Senior Weyrwoman and C'lir of Silver Capivth as Senior Weyrleader, that Tranjlyn learned that his foster-mother was once a dragonrider, like the others that flew in the sky. He had been playing with some of the younger candidates, when a few weyrlings started bullying him, their high ranking dragons taunting him with their very sight. They taunted him, saying that he wouldn't amount to anything, just like his foster-mother, Corpsa. At that, Tranjlyn had turned and hit the weyrling, it turning out to be an Onyxweyrling. The little Onyx dragonet had tried to stand up for his weyrling, until Corspa stepped in, ordering the boys away.
It was then, that Tranjlyn found out that Corpsa's Violet Dictanth had gone between at her second clutch. Corpsa hadn't been in the skies since and planned to live the rest of her life out, as close to dragons as she could ever be again. Five turns later, T'lyn Stood, at Violet Panitath's third cluth, and Impressed; Onyx Mnelth. His first act, after he graduated Weyrling Lessons, was to take Corpsa into the sky.
Graduating top of his Weyrling Lessons, T'lyn or Onyx Mnelth caught the eye of the Senior Weyrwoman, who at the time had P'lan of Onyx Svarth, the weyrling that had bullied T'lyn as a Weyrbrat, as her Weyrleader. It was at this time that the ideas of moving Hadi Weyr to a bigger spot in the mountains arose. At five turns, Onyx Mnelth flew to Chase Violet Panitath, and caught her, no problem, making T'lyn the new Weyrleader. Instant disliking turned to hate on P'lan's part and the Onyxrider has had it out for T'lyn since then.
Newer news about the possible moving of Hadi Weyr has been put on hold, due to the strange events happening in the mountains. Now Lilia is sending T'lyn out into the mountains, and the Onyxrider is sure that she plans to replace him as soon as he leaves. Violet Panitath is too close to Rising, yet at this moment, T'lyn could care less about his unfaithful lover.
Dragon
Dragon name: Mnelth
Dragon color: Onyx - Mnelth is an oily black that seems to spread over his body with no lighter tones. The only other color on him that isn't inky blackness are his many hued orbs.
Dragon age: 9
Dragon personality: Granted Mnelth is the Onyx dragon that Flew Violet Panitath, the Onyx knows that his position as the Weyrleader's dragon could be over in a flash. He is extremely intelligent for an Onyx and he doesn't get attached to things very easily. Never a dragon to use a human's name, except his own, he doesn't do so well around other Riders, as he simply doesn't enjoy humans.
This Onyx is cunning, smart, and silent. Being the Weyrleader's dragon, you would expect him to be the favorite among the dragon, yet this Onyx isn't. More than a few dragons would love to see this slightly younger Onyx fall, and Panitath Rise without him around. [/center]
