Personality: Andar has the attention span of a Flitt; constantly moving from one thing to another, rarely focused. {In our terms here on earth he would have A.D.D.} Andar also tends to be obvious to things going on around him and will often miss hidden meanings; like taking sarcastic comments literally or answer rhetorical questions. At the same time though he always seems to have the uncanny ability to be in the right place at the wrong time to overhear something being said either about him or something else the person wishes to keep quiet. He is actually a very good listener normally; though he can get overly into thing and focus on one task, like reading a harpers tale and be completely lost to the world. This "hyper focus" can happen when Andar gets really interested or curious about something and he will strive to complete the task or learn more with a single minded determination; Andar will stubbornly try to learn more or finish the task, even if he has to do it sneakily sometimes; like reading the rest of a book when his foster parents believed him to be sleeping. Andar will also remember almost all of the random facts that he comes across and sometimes uses them to answer questions other people have that are just stated out into the open or that he overhears and knows the answer to.
Most people who first meet Andar consider him to be wherry-brained and mark him off as a "Special" case; but the rare few people that know him well have actually come to discover that he is actually quite bright and can accomplish most tasks if he can set his mind to it and focus. Andar has several traits that help lead people to this false assumption. Besides his lack of attention, Andar also ends up asking a lot of questions that are asking the person to repeat something they have recently said; he's not asking them because he didn't understand, forgot it, or wasn't listening; but because he wants to clarify so he's sure to get it right; most of the time he already has the correct answer to the question he asks. Another thing about Andar is that he takes longer to complete basic tasks; thus it is assumed he doesn't understand or is struggling on it; really he just works at a slow pace, but understands what he is doing. Lastly is Andar also has a very creative imagination and can create games and find enjoyment out of simple things like sticks and leafs; but when people see him playing with these things they can't see into his head and thus get the wrong idea; having no idea the real complexity of his games.
Andar hates to see people upset or down and will try to cheer them up if he can. Often though he won't really understand their problems having such an innocent and optimistic view on the world. He grew up being extra sheltered because of the 'special' way must people treated him.
Family: Father - unknown dragonrider - unknown - unknown
Mother - Traveling dancer - Filo - Location unknown
Pets: None
History: One night a dragon rider met the adventurous traveling dancer Filo and they got together for a short while during the time Filo's group was in town. It was meant to be a temporary thing, done and over with once Filo's group left the town. Filo's group was and they said their goodbyes; going to bed with each other as a final farewell. That next morning they each went on their way; but for Filo it wasn't quite over. A few sevendays later she discovered herself to be with child. More time passed and she gave birth to a son naming him Andar. Andar lived and traveled with his mother for 5 and a half turns; being raised and entertained collectively by the group, encouraged to let his imagination soar and be as free spirited as possible. Everything was going well and all were happy; that is until that one hold they passed through. A group of guards and farmers got drunk and decided that they wanted Filo to give them some 'pleasures'; Filo refused. The guards and farmers angered by her refusal tried to force her to do what they wanted, the other members of the group then stepped in a violent fight erupted. In the fight Filo ended up stabbing the ringleader of the group in a very sensitive area while defending herself from him. Battered and bruised Filo's group had to flee the town that night; losing most of their money and possessions in the process. In the day after things had calmed down they returned to the town to retrieve their belongings to find their belongings 'confiscated' and money 'fined' to repair the damage that occurred during the fight. All this took place with them standing at a locked and closed gate yelling back and forth with a guard. It turned out that they had also been banned from the city for trouble making. It turned out that one of the guards that had advanced on Filo had been a captain and had told his own twisted tail to the hold lord and his superiors. The gate guard turned a deaf ear to the groups story and pleas. Filo and the group then left, battered and disillusioned as they made their way to the next hold; carefully rationing their supplies. The group hit hard times then with many of their members injured from the fighting and unable to do their normal duties. Andar understood very little of what was going on at the time; he tried to cheer up his motley family and would earn a few smilies now and then. Upon reaching the next hold they found its doors bared to them as well; only allowed to enter under the watchful eyes of a guarded escort to buy supplies with the little money they had left. The word of the fight had spread like fire and been greatly exagerated in each telling, reaching all the way to the next hold. The trip to the next hold was even worse with several of the members becoming sick either from their wounds or the poor living coditions they now had to face. One member grew ill and passed away on the juorney. After his passing the group started to splinter with three of the memebers making off with half of the supllies one night. About 4 others also left setting out on their own. The next hold they reahed they found similar restrictions in place; but the hold Lady saw them and took pity on their state. She sent healers out to them and gave them food. She met with the and learned their side of the story; taking it for its worth and believing them. She then related to them what had happened; not only had that guard been a captain, but he was brother to a bronze rider as well. The captain having been publicly embarassed, having a few broken bones in his body, and having been partaily maimed in a certain area had invented a tale and went to his brother with it. The bronze rider then taking his brothers word brought it to the attention of the wyerleader who had then banished and banned then from all the hold for 2 turns to straighten their ways. She also warned Filo that the bronze rider was searching for her and wouldn't listen to reason; seeking revenge against her for maiming his brother and removing his ability to reproduce. Filo knew that she would need to flee to the wilderness for a few turns to escape those after her; a decision was reached that disbanning the group would be the best thing to do. A few loyal members volunteered to stay with Filo and go with her into the wilderness. The hold lady offered to take care of the wounded and offered a place at the hold for any children of the group. This is when Filo had to make one of the hardest choices in her life; she loved Andar dearly and knew that life in the wilderness on the run was no place for a young child. Tears in her eyes she hugged Andar goodbye as she left, assured that he would be well taken care of. She knew it was for the best but that made it no easier for her.
Unknow to anyone at this time; The flight of Filo into the wilderness would lead the bronze rider after her, L'yin, to meet up with Luci and her gold dragon Wrath.
And'r grew up at the hold, well cared for, but also an outsider. Not born at the hold and being strange, he was raised by traveling preformers for the first part of his life, the other holdbrates often avoided him or left him to his own devices. THe preformers that stayed at the hold though did teach him all kinds of tricks, exspecially the old ones. And'r always listened to them avidly and picked up many tricks and talents. Due to this And'r has many talents that are unknown to others and might just get him out of trouble one day.
((still working on and adding to this. still have to do the time at the hold, but you can get good impression of that from the personality right now.))
When Andar was 16 turns old a dragon on search visited his hold; and much to the surprise of everyone gathered he was searched to become a candidate. He went to Black Obsydian weyr and soon impressed Green Taryshth.
In an almost sort of irony, as a kid in the group and later after as well he was taught self defense by his mother and several of the elders of the group. The irony in this is that part of the defenses taught to him, just beacause of the composition of the group also happened to be rape defense technics that were thrown in with the other leasons. So know if any rider comes at him filled with Dragonlust before his dragons ride they better watch out.

Candidate
Sexual orientation: Hetero (doesn't even consider that fact that their could be anything different from that.)
Color preference(s): Whatever you feel is best suited to him.
Desired post-Impression name: And'r
Color preference(s): Whatever you feel is best suited to him.
Desired post-Impression name: And'r
Dragon
Dragon name: Taryshth Must end in -th
Appearance: Taryshth's hide is an unusual dark green that appears sort of washed-out, almost faded, the color of distant hills in the rain on a grey, cloudy day. But it has a strange beauty to it, though at first you may not think so. This green is of average size, but looks delicately made, with a thin tail and long wings, and slim legs.
Personality: Taryshth is concerned, first and foremost, with her own well-being. If a decision does not benefit her, she does not deem in very important. She must be washed, fed, oiled, and tended to for her liking, or the whole weyr will find out what a dissatisfied green can sound like. She does not necessarily want to be the center of attention, or the best - merely the prettiest green and most well-cared-for dragon in Pern.
She has compassion and curiosity as well, of course. When something intriguing catches her interest, she just might stop thinking about how clean her scales are and go after it. And she would give up even washings for Hers...if it was really important/
