Physical Description: |
H’mil has a typical rider appearance.
From his tanned skin and the occasional thread scar to his charismatic
smile of white, even teeth. He’s tall, standing at 6”2’ and has a very
muscular body. Who wouldn’t have one when tending to the needs of such a
big brown like Minorth!? He has sandy-blonde hair reaches the base of his
neck in it’s own, always messed up, way. No matter how much he tries to
tame it, the hair always manages to escape H’mil’s attempts to civilise
it. The colour of his eyes is hard to determine, it could be grey, it
could be blue and it could be green. Those that look at his eyes closely
say that it’s a mix of those colours, though not many get to see him that
close. As mentioned before his fairly white skin by nature has been tanned
by Southern sun and has some scars as well. The most visible one is
covering a small part of his left eyebrow and the area above it. Others
are on his arms, but they don’t really catch attention. He wears riding
clothes almost all the time. Of course being a rider requires him to wear
formal clothing every now and then. He’ll do so, but under loud complaint
to those who happen to have made him wear it. He has a very down to earth
nature about him, being as rational as he usually is. He seems like one of
those guys who were meant to be in charge, and this gives him a natural
authority. |

Personality: |
So he looks like a leader, he walks like
a leader, but does he talk like a leader? To be honest, he does. He has
been able to take charge whenever needed, and this has caused him a
well-earned respect. However this also raised a new issue. H’mil has to
obey to the riders above him in wing-hierarchy, something he isn’t used to
as he used to be a Wingleader himself. He finds it ridiculous that he
hasn’t been promoted yet, but will try his very best to get just that. The
fact that he hasn’t been at Brondir long has ‘slipped his mind’. H’mil
knows when to step in when riders have issues with each other and also
knows when to let things run its course. This has earned him some respect,
and that he uses to keep things going. He is also good at guiding, and he
sees it as his job to help and guide all that seek out his help. He also
likes to help anyone with any problem that occurs, that wouldn’t be a
problem if he’d realise that some things are better in the hands of other
people, more experienced people. So he does have his quirks? Yes he has
them, plenty actually. Besides from always wanting to solve all the
problems others bring to him, even when he is nowhere experienced in the
matter, he has more bad habits. One being that he has an almost childlike
fear of pets. Yes, pets, all pets, big small or furry, he hates them and
is scared of them. Especially any with claws or teeth, leaving not many
pets that he hates… less. This is the result of one of his weyrbrat
adventures, where he ran in to a few very aggressive cats. He has managed
to keep it hidden enough for it not to damage his reputation; though he
knows that one day it’ll come out and it will be a big rumour for quite
some time. However, he has another mistake, probably a much more important
one. He doesn’t seem able to love. He can be sweet, nice, caring, but he
can’t actually say, “I love you”, or give anyone that special look. The
only look filled with love he is capable of, is always pointed at his
dragon. Some say it’s because he just doesn’t care enough, others say that
he just hasn’t found the right person. However, this all isn’t true. Even
though no one will probably ever catch him actually saying he loves
someone, he has loved quite some women, he just is afraid of expressing
that love. |

History: |
Young Hamiel was born in Ista Weyr, his
mother a well-respected green rider and his father a Wingleader bronze. It
was expected he would impress, and he was raised as just any other
weyrbrat: by crèche mothers. Being the typical weyrbrat he did typical
weyrbrat things. He was nothing-special back then, unless you count the
leadership he had over a group of other weyrbrats, his friends and his
fellow adventurers. Growing up he realised there was more to life then
getting lost and being in places where he wasn’t supposed to be. There
were dragons! And he, as his father was a bronzer too, was going to
impress a bronze! He idolised his father, the great big bronzer, and
wanted to be just like him. His mother he barely knew, because she never
visited him or paid any attention to him, his father did. He always told
everyone how big his bronze was going to be, and how well he and his
dragon would fight together. It didn’t occur to him that he was being
arrogant, he was doing it all for the good of the Weyr, after all?
However, when he stood on the Sands for a first time, a young boy, who was
brought in from a Hold, impressed the bronze he thought had been heading
for him. He was furious, blaming it all on the boy and on other Holder
boys. However, his friends talked some sense back into him, telling him
that maybe that boy had been a better Lifemate for the bronze. They also
told him to quit being so arrogant. The next hatchings, he didn’t impress
either. That was a slap in the face for young Hamiel, but it made him
realise just how arrogant he really was, his friends were right. So he
stopped telling everyone he was going for a bronze. A brown, or even a
blue would also be nice, just as it was a dragon, a fighting dragon! The
next Hatching took yet another turn, as he saw a green, a very small
green, heading his way. Only in the last seconds he realised the green was
heading for the charming girl next to him. He loved her for that, oh how
he loved her for that! It was that same hatching that Minorth, a strong
and big brown, came in one, straight line towards Hamiel. He declared
himself H’mil and entered his new life with pride. He had just turned
sixteen. Yes, he now was a rider, but the arrogance he had before his
second standing was gone, his friends and Minorth had opened his eyes. So
he tried his best to earn a well-respected status, he learned hard to be a
good rider. He didn’t want to be arrogant anymore, it was time to make
what he had said the truth; he was a rider after all, so he was going to
be a worthy one! He soon got to know the girl that had saved him from
impressing green. They had impressed together after all. Their friendship
turned out to be a great one, and bit-by-bit H’mil realised he was
beginning to see Ianile as more then just a friend. Together they got
through the first part of their weyrlinghood with ease. H’mil was
beginning to earn a lot of respect, doing his utmost best to be a good
leader type and a good rider. Then it all went wrong for poor H’mil.
Ianile’s green Indiraith rose in her maiden flight, and Minorth flew to
catch her. He did and H’mil could finally express his love for Ianile.
Ianile however wasn’t so charmed by that, and left the flightroom even
before H’mil woke. H’mil tried to reason with her, but it did no good. If
anything it drove her even farther away. She requested for a transfer and
left him with one letter, in which she tried to explain why she had left:
she had never had the intention to feel anything more then friendship for
her best friend and she was confused by the fact he had declared his love
to her. So she left H’mil behind. Ten years later he discovered he had a
son, when Ianile moved back to Ista. He had made it Wingleader by then and
was a well respected member of the Weyr, though he hadn’t dare to say he
loved anyone since Ianile left. It was hard for him to adapt to the
thought of having a son for ten years and not even knowing about it! He
tried to give his son as much love and attention as he could give him, and
when the boy impressed blue at the age of 18, already having a daughter,
he decided his job was finished. He couldn’t handle to see his son’s
daughter, realising he already was a grandfather, even if his
granddaughter had been an ‘accident’ as the cause of a Weyrethics lecture…
So, he requested a transfer to another Weyr, where he could be just
another brownrider, and not be a father or grandfather anymore. At Brondir
he realised that the hard earned status he had gained at his former Weyr
had to be earned all over again, something that gets him frustrated.
Though you won’t ever see him announce that in public, he acts like he
doesn’t care. |

Dragon Information: |
Minorth |

Colour: |
Brown |

Physical Description: |
Minorth is one of the biggest browns
around, the size of a small bronze. He is well proportioned and muscled,
making him quite a handsome brown. His wings are big, and that as well
makes him a dragon that most lady dragons like. His hide has the warm pale
shade of oak wood, and H’mil makes sure his hide always gleams and shines.
All in all he is a sight to see and that, sadly, affects his personality
as well. |
|
Personality: |
Minorth is quite cocky, proud and sure
of himself, this is annoying, really annoying to anyone who gets to know
him. It’s all because of his good looks and the ease he wins a female
dragon with. Of course, there are a lot of greens able to resist his
charms, but that he forgets. Minorth makes sure all dragons he thinks he’s
responsible for. He has to listen to Queens, like other dragons he can’t
disobey a Queen. But he doesn’t like it one bit. Minorth could as well
have been a bronze, sometimes he even thinks he’s a bronze, or at least as
good as any bronze. Minorth hasn’t ever stayed with a green much longer
then one day, the day of the flight itself. This is probably because of
his desire to mate with a golden dragon. |
