Mottled Khaki Brown Parith

Dragon Description

Dusty khaki hues invade dragonhide, sweeping unstoppable over his curving back, wrapping effortlessly around his barrel chest and creeping tendrils down his sturdy limbs, stopped only by the deep brown that colors his talons. Neither tail nor serpentine neck are able to stand against the invading tone as it winds its way down to the tip of his tail, working its way upwards, curling around his neck, sliding over his headknobs and eyeridges, invasion stopped as his muzzle ends, large nostrils remaining darker, standing along amongst the khaki. Blonde hues tint the khaki, a slight resistance that hovers along his stomach, wisps coloring portions of his chest and underside, though the coloring is more prominent on his large wings, residing on windsails, blending effortlessly with the colors of his body. Darker ridges run their course from the top of his head to the tip of his tail, breaking up the plain hues of his form.


Egg Name and Description

Death Star Egg
From a distance, this egg appears to have a sheen of pure grey, only slight markings of faint grey mottling the surface. Approaching this rather odd looking egg, details begin to form upon the shell. Tiny black splotches, resembling small towers are littered across the shell, seeming to have no end in a repeating pattern. Around the near perfect center of this egg, a line of grey, a trench perhaps, circles the entirely around it. This strange egg's mottled grey exterior shifts to a deep grey circle on the far side, the tones giving it the appearance of a circular indent. Around the edges of this indent, small splotches of green appear, perhaps this egg is not all that it appears.


Hatching Message

The Death Star egg has, so far, withstood the attacks from within as its resident attempts to break through the defenses. The continued stress on the infrastructure results in radiating cracks upon the shell, spreading outwards before finally a well aimed shot causes the egg to shake and the whole shell to simply end up in a pile on the sands, debris surrounding the brown dragonet within.

Impression Message

A ponderous silence falls upon your mind before wisps of cool night air usher in a sense of urgency, a pressing need for a goal foremost in your mind. « M'kus, I am Parith. We have so much to do, so very much to accomplish together. We are taking much too long here. » An echoing rumble in the dark mind emphasizes the need for speed, the desire to push onwards before a different sort of rumble replaces it. «Perhaps, though, we can find something to eat, first. »


Mindvoice Name and Description

Swirls of Blackened Twilight
A cool breath of summer time air draws you in without resistance, surrounding you with an urgency to do something, anything! Yet, his deep voice contains it in something more, the urgings to not let time waste, to seize the moment as the sounds of night echo around his words. A deepness of voice rumbles like thunder in the distance, emphasizing the need for speed, the necessity of completion; the dark colors of just after dusk hiding his true intentions from most.


Inspiration

Your dragon is based off of Paris, Prince of Troy, kidnapper of Helen, and reason for the Trojan War. Paris was born to Priam, king of Troy; it was prophesized that he would be the downfall of Troy. In an attempt to prevent such an occurrence, Paris was sent to live on Mt. Ida by his parents. While Paris was growing up, he was called upon by the fighting goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite to decide which of the three was the most beautiful. Each promised him something in return for naming her most beautiful: Hera promised political power and control of Asia; Athena promised skill in battle, wisdom, and the powers of a great warrior; Aphrodite promised the most beautiful woman in the world. After deliberation, Paris presented Aphrodite with the golden apple, proclaiming her the most beautiful of the three, and he was rewarded with Helen. The stories vary as to what actually occurred, whether Paris kidnapped Helen or Helen fell in love with Paris and left voluntarily. However, Paris's marriage to Helen triggered the Trojan War, in which the Greeks banded together, sailing on Troy to reclaim Menelaus's queen (Helen). Heroes were lost, and their stories are told in the Iliad and the Odyssey; during the war, the well known trick of the Trojan horse was used, and Paris was eventually killed and Troy destroyed.


Personality (RP Tips)

Enigmatic swirls and motes of contentment and reason glide about the mind of this hatchling. A confusing mix for anyone ill prepared for such an experience. There is a gentle curiosity to this mind, trailed by any number of emotions. It is not truly chaos, but only a jumbled mix of thoughts that no longer have a sorted pattern. One only needs to make sense of this mottled jumble of feelings to see what exactly lies beneath the surface.

Growing Up: Parith is a dragon to take his duties seriously, rarely shrinking from what he knows needs to be done, following a project through to completion and never failing to back up his decision. Any choice he makes, anything he does that may be questioned will be supported, any decision defended until the end, no matter what that end may be. If there's work to be done, Parith will bother you until it's completed, waking you up at the break of dawn. « We have sweeps today, M'kus, you have to get out of bed. If we get going now, we can make sure that we're on time. We really don't want to be late. » Your easy going nature could very well be tested, for not only is Parith a morning per- uh, dragon? he's a workaholic, who loves to make sure everything is not only done correctly but it perfect to his eyes. When it comes to making a decision, all possible benefits are carefully weighed with the consequences; whatever is going to get him the furthest is certainly his preferred action. His actions cannot possibly be wrong, nothing is his fault, especially since he can justify it; therefore, he believes himself to be the superior decision maker and has no qualms about pushing you towards his goal, nearly ordering you to haste. Parith believes that it is his duty to ensure that everything goes smoothly; therefore he takes it upon himself to store as much information as possible about people, places, and events. He recognizes that his memory isn't the best, and may use you as storage place, refreshing his mind from time to time in order to ensure things go as they desired, even if it may be somewhat detrimental to your image around the weyr. « Oh, yeah Aevisaanth, he had this girl over… She seemed to really like him. I'm not sure, actually… But they were rather loud. » He'll try and boost your own image in order to help his own: After all, if you have the girls, shouldn't he get some by default? Females are, probably, the only thing that takes precedence over work without question. He'll constantly be chasing after the ones that he feels are beautiful, no matter what others may say or you may think. « Each is beautiful in her own right. » Although, he will always know which he can gain the most by if he catches. « If I catch her, she's the wingleader, and perhaps you can get a promotion. And that one isn't even in a wing yet, so there's nothing to gain from her. » Advancement is always on his mind, no matter what he may have to do in order to do so; but advancement isn't necessarily for glory, its for the work that comes with it. Busy days are good days. He isn't the most social dragon, especially during the day. On occasion when there's some fun thing going on (a hatching, a gather, etc), he'll settle down enough to talk to the others, although impatiently asking you when its going to be over and you can get back to what you're /suppose/ to be doing. Non essential conversations effect work efficiency after all and Parith will absolutely not stand for such a thing. His relationships always serve a different purpose the mere interaction, and he's content to keep it that way. Growing Up, Parith will be one of the lucky ones from his clutch who'll grow in rather equal proportions. His legs won't grow that much faster then his body, nor will his wings grow too much for him to control with ease. He'll never be stuck with the awkward gait that most of his clutchmates will need to adopt in order to get around, and he'll be at ease both on the ground and in the air. His push to succeed and finish his work efficiently will keep you on your toes. Weyrlinghood will be constant practice of the skills you'll need later on. Parith with make sure that you're practicing glides, take offs and landings, to ensure that he's able to move along with the more difficult work almost immediately, without getting sent to practice more. As he ages, he will become distracted now and again, always, however, returning his focus to work once more.

Why: Even the most work-oriented needs someone to keep them organized, to keep them on track. You provide that for Parith, as well as the stabling influence that will keep him from working himself to the bone. Your laid back attitude will keep him in check, force him to come out of his shell and recognize that all work and no play is a bad thing. At the same time, he will provide a push for you, encouraging you to take work seriously, making sure that you do what you're expected to do.
