Description
Standing 6'3" tall with blond hair and green eyes Kershaw doesn't stand out in a crowd though he does have little problem seeing over the crowd. His hair is tied into a runner tail so as to keep it out of the way when he's working. One would never suspect his strength by just looking at him for he appears to be of a slender build and someone whom a strong breeze would blow away without much effort. But when he takes your hand in his you can feel the strength and power in his grasp.
There is a stark white scar that runs from the tip of his right ear to the tip of his chin, the result of some incident that occurred in his childhood. One he seldom talks about.
Dark brown leather pants fit comfortably on K'saw's frame, a thin blue line runs down the legs to indicate the color of his lifemate blue Atzricath; a fleece lined jacket of the same color covers a shirt of a bright orange which is tucked into his pants; A sword is attached to a leather belt which is cinched around his waist. His boots are brand new and show little signs of wear, fleece lined to help keep the cold of Between from freezing his toes.
K'saw wears the knot of an Monico Bay Weyr AWLM with great pride.

History
[[div]]
Kershaw was born on Ista Island the son of a beastcrafter at Ista Hold. His mother Ibiralin was a gentle soul and the most important person in his life. Two older sisters and one brother filled out the rest of his family, Diev(younger brother 12 T), Nydores(Older Sister 23T),Asteras(Older Sister 32T). From an early age Kershaw learned the handling of various beasts and of all that was required for their care but he found that he was restless and had little interest in his father's craft. When of an age he talked to his parents and informed them that he was leaving to find his own way in the world. His mother tried to dissuade him but his mind was made up.
Soon after he started his wanderings, working on various farms, cotholds and even holds…but still he could find nothing that gave him a feeling of accomplishment or belonging. So he kept traveling. He found passage on a ship (The Leaping Packtail) headed for Southern and worked his way down the coast to the southern continent learning the ship craft. Not one to stand still for long he wandered here and there on Southern and spent some time working on a fishing boat learning the fisher's trade. Such hard work he'd not come across in his short time on Pern and it left its mark on him.
After his travels Kershaw found himself at Ista Weyr where he started working in the stables taking care of the stalls and feed for the runners kept there. A several months ago Kershaw found himself at Western Weyr having been searched as a Candidate. He formed a strong bond with the other Candidates and when the dragon's started humming he joined the other Candidates standing on the sands waiting to see if a hatchling found him suitable as a lifemate but unfortunately he was left standing with a number of other Candidates leaving him wondering if there were something wrong with him. He returned to Ista Weyr and the stables feeling a bit better about his experience at Western and getting back into working in the stables.
He stood a few more times for different clutches being searched for different weyrs finally finding himself at Eastern Weyr being searched and left standing once again, it was at this point that he decided that he'd join the BeastCraft and follow his father's dream by joining him in the craft, it was at this time that he also decided that he'd stay at Eastern Weyr being mentored by the Weyrleader who was also a Beastcrafter. So his life went on as those candidates who impressed when he stood on Eastern's sands became full-fledged riders leaving him wondering what it would have been like if he'd impressed as well.
Jr Weyrwoman Fi's Gold rose and was caught leaving a clutch upon the sands, which Kershaw attended the clutching only to be asked to stand again by G'tor. He accepted the offer and proceeded to go through Candidacy finally finding himself back on the sands with the eggs rocking, and the hatchlings searching for their lifemates. Before he knew what was happening Atzricath chose him as his partner and K'saw joined the rank of weyrlings at Eastern leaving him extremely happy, exhausted, and wondering what the future will bring.
K'saw joined a wing after graduation from Weyrlinghood training to perform the job of a Search and Rescue rider looking for lost/injured people as well as keeping an eye out for those that might cause trouble for the Weyr or those beholden to it. One day Fi called K'saw into her office and started asking him about his time as a weyrling and then asked him if he'd be interested in becoming an Assistant Weyrling Master; after a few moments of thought and consideration K'saw accepted the offer and now wears the knot of an Assistant Weyrling Master and is busy training so that he can assist in the training of the new classes of weyrlings. Atzricath is pleased that they have earned the promotion and is looking forward to showing their new charges exactly how things should be done the right way (his way of course).

Firelizards
Brown Sudz
Full of fun and festivity this brown looks like a hoot! His hide is a-wash in warm home brews. From pale ales to dark stouts he is splashed with all sorts of merry spuds. Foamy suds ripple along the boundaries between the brews. The brown himself is a bit on the heavy side. Rotund belly a sign he has perhaps imbibed a bit too much over time. Head is a bit short, muzzle blunted but eyes bear a deceptive intelligence, he knows what he's doing after all. It seems what he's best at doing is having a good time. Broad wings somehow manage to support the heavy frame and generously proportioned body, while a shorter thicker tail acts as a counterweight to his tipsy movements.
Sudz is banded in the colors of his owner's home.
Sudz is 0 Turns, 10 months, and 15 days old and is 55 centimeters in length with a wingspan of 88 cm.
Bronze Balaravi
Smooth hide in golden tangerine is stretched over the sinewy body of this firelizard from tail fork to crown. The bold shock of hue is marred only by stripes of burnt orange sweeping back over his head, and three quarters of his headknobs. It blends off where his skull connects with his neck, giving way to smudged dots and swirled patterns across his back, along his sides and even over his haunches and tail. A mask of the softest white brushes itself in with tiny hair like strokes, fluffing up like a wide grin past his temples. It's accented subtly by a single rounded triangle of pink with its broadest edge pointing upwards, just there at the tip of his snout. The tuffedness of white is present as well on all four of his paws, blending in the same way as it did at his face about a quarter of the way up his legs, like socks. Talons at the tips of each snowy toe are of the palest of pinks, they curl just slightly towards the ends into sharp little hooks.
Balaravi is banded in the colors of his owner's home.
Balaravi is 0 Turns, 0 months, and 24 days old and is 16 centimeters in length with a wingspan of 31 cm.
Green Boudicca
Lithe and imminently dangerous is this less-delicate-than-she-appears green. Peridot and deep evergreen war for dominance across her already scarred hide. The softer tones of fern caress her underbelly, a gentleness hidden beneath her harsher exterior. Each wicked paw is tipped with an equally wicked claw of purest ebony. Her headknobs and the back of her skull are enveloped in a green so dark it could be seen as black. Pale scars criss-cross her hide from nose to tailfork, cutting an irregular pattern of woe into her flesh. Her wing sails, though, are her most defining feature. Like her claws, they are pure night painted there so darkly no light can pass through them, though the underside is lightly patterned with pinpoints of white, stars in the night.
Boudicca is banded in the colors of her owner's home.
Boudicca is 0 Turns, 1 month, and 24 days old and is 21 centimeters in length with a wingspan of 36 cm.
Dragon
Sophistication has been built into this dragon's genetics, even if he is slightly on the small end of the spectrum. Dressed in eloquent phthalo blue, the muscle of this lithe creature is rounded smoothly and tapered smartly in all directions. He has devilishly handsome features, such as a hooked pointed muzzle which hosts a sharp bridge and is set above an elongated jaw and hollow cheeks. Heathen eye ridges are set at a slant around his large iridescent eyes. The right eye is mired by what appears to be a beauty scar - distinctive as a claw mark, his badge for his battle out of the egg. Mid-night blue head knobs and spinal ridges are worn slick-backed in style, situated to be sleek and sharp in the way they curve and drape down along his spine. Great cape-like wings adorn him, membranes of his sails rolling with the same mid-night wash, not a speck or a star to be seen throughout, simply stretched out in one solid inky mass. In dramatic contrast, a froth of ice blue crashes against abdominal tuck, spraying up to the bottom of his jaw and cresting underneath to the tip of his tail - an undershirt with stylish cuffs of the same glacial hue at his wrists. Frosted white socks also stretch up to his knees on his hindquarters and inky talons glint, polished and sharp as a blade. Bands of dark blue are slashed across thighs and shoulders in afterthought, distinct but worn only as if fancy adornments.
Atzricath is 9 Turns, 6 months, and 10 days old with a length of 26.31 meters, and a wingspan of 43.85 meters.
