Name: G'naren (Gunaren)
Name Pronounced: Gee-nar-in
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Character Type: Dragonrider
Rank: Brownrider
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Current Location: Angel's Cove Weyr
Appearance: G'naren has wavy, dirty-blonde hair that just brushes his collar and unusually bright green eyes that tend to draw attention, even when he doesn't want it. He stands just under 6 feet and has an average build, if not a bit lean. He's usually clean-shaven and usually sports lighter browns and cream colored clothing. He has been fortunate to have never been scored and only bears a small scar along his right elbow from a break in his younger years.
Personality: G'naren acts younger than he is, but he can be quite serious about his duties. He normally has a rather cheerful attitude and has an extremely high tolerance for people. Very little can anger him, but when/if he does anger, he usually only raises his voice and sobers fairly quickly. He has a gift of being able to multi-task, hence the reason he has held several positions within the Weyr. Once he starts something, he prefers to finish it as efficiently as possible. He takes responsibility for every one of his actions, no matter the price, and he would wish that on no other. He has a tendency to think that brownriders are better than the others, yet when he sees injustice, he will step in to right the matter. As a result of his "superior" thoughts, he will often question another's authority and/or decisions.
History: Born Gunaren to a Lower Caverns worker and a kitchen drudge of Igen Weyr, G'naren enjoyed life as a weyrbrat clean up until he was 12 when he fell from a cliff face that he had climbed on a dare. Along with some broken ribs and a badly broken elbow, the boy had to spend nearly two sevendays in the infirmary. He still bears a scar from the break in his elbow, but is hardly afraid of heights. G'naren had no interest in dragons like the other weyrbrats had, but he fancied the guitar that his older brother had picked up during his Harper training. So, G'naren headed off for the Harper Hall to learn the trade.
Upon a visit to the Weyr in his 17th turn on his apprenticeship, a goldflight happened and he had been so close that the dragonlust got to him and he woke the next morning beside a Lower Caverns worker, named Jayteera, that usually stood in for those riders rejected during the flight. Later that turn, he was called to the Weyr to see if he wanted to raise the woman's child with her or not. Knowing that the boy was his, G'naren accepted his role as a father and took on an apprenticeship at the Weyr in order to help raise Jayren.
At 20 turns, G'naren was late to the Hatching Grounds to watch a hatching and he failed to get to the stands on time, thus was caught on the Sands when a demanding voice in his head made him stop and turn around to see a brown dragonet in front of him. There went his Harper career as he became G'naren of brown Flinth, but he welcomed the dragonet lovingly. Training went well and G'naren still found time to visit with his lover and son. At 23, Flinth decided that he would finally chase a young gold that rose, but he never caught her and so, G'naren found himself waking up next to Jayteera again. Later that turn, Gunteera was born. At 25, Teeraren was born. Two turns later, G'naren was granted a wingsecond position in his wing and he took it, determined to do his best for his wing.
Another two turns gave him another daughter, Gunra. The following turn: Guntee. In his 35th turn, Jayteera would have her last child, Jaygun, and pass away during the birth. G'naren bravely pressed on, expressing his grief only to hisdragon or canine and was granted a wingleader position at 36. His canine had puppies in his 37th turn and he opted to keep one, giving him two canines. As he continued to be an influence in his children's lives, G'naren slowly became his cheery self again, but he was a rider and HAD to move on. Finally, Flinth succeeded in catching the weyrwomansecond's gold in a flight and G'naren has been elected as weyrsecond since.
Now at 42 and hearing of the new Angel's Cove Weyr needing riders, G'naren has answered the call since his leadership has changed, Flinth having failed to catch the weyrwomansecond's gold this time. Four of his children opted to go with him and another said that she'd request transfer if she failed to Impress the next clutch at Igen Weyr.

Pets Information:
Pet 1 Type: Canine
Pet 1 Name: Flash
Appearance: Flash is a grayish color from her head to her tail, but her underside and most of her legs are dull white. She has a thin stripe of white that goes from her nose, up her face, and stops in the middle of her head. Her fur is thick and rough and her tail has a bushy appearance. Her eyes are dark brown and she stands as high as G'naren's knees.
Personality: Flash is quick. She's often chasing after some small creature or fetching sticks or anything else her master might throw for her. She is very loyal to G'naren and when not playing, she is usually at his side. She's quite friendly with people as long as they don't seem to have a problem with her.
Pet 2 Type: Canine
Pet 2 Name: Shadow
Appearance: Shadow is pitch black all over. His fur is rough and thick and his tail is bushy. He stands about a hand's width shorter than Flash and tends to look a bit under fed. He is very lean and his eyes are a navy blue and always watching something.
Personality: Shadow isn't very playful. As a matter of fact, he's never made a sound since his birth. There is no leaving him behind when G'naren is on the ground, but when his master rides the big dragon, he will run off and shadow Jaygun until his master's return. He trails G'naren wherever he goes and gives people a wary look, but if one strikes him as threatening or they 'play' too rough with his master, he can be vicious. He has bitten a few people who have 'played' too roughly with G'naren. Yet, when it comes to kids, Shadow will tolerate them, sometimes picking one out to protect when neither G'naren or Jaygun are near.

Dragonriders:
Is your persona a dragonrider? Yes
Dragon Name: Flinth
Dragon Color: Brown
Dragon Age: 22
Fighting Wing: Queen's Wing
Appearance: Flinth is a very pale shade of brown, sometimes appearing a grayish color, but always having an undertone of brown to prove that he is indeed a brown. He is quite large in size for his color, but his wings are an extra fourth longer than they aught to be, as is his tail, but both oddities aid in helping Flinth fly faster and move quicker than the average brown.
Personality: Flinth can get annoying at times, but only ever toward his rider. He will flirt with golds if he is not currently claimed by one, but he respects them just the same. He loves to lead and is quite happy near the front of a wing.
Abilites and Weaknesses: Flinth can fly a bit more agily than the average brown and proves to maneuver very well when it comes to Threadfighting, only ever having been scored once and it was only minor.
Weyr of Origin: Igen Weyr
