Personality:
O'sin is the type of Rider you would find out on the ledge of his barracks, watching the going ons of the Weyr around him, all by himself. He's reserved, quite, and calculating. Not a real social body, he normally isn't found about the Weyr mingling with others. This doesn't mean he's snobby, it just means that he is has more interest in being with his dragon.
When he does enteract with humans, he is silent, almost disappearing into the background, or standing in a corner, arms crossed and head down, while watching those around him. If frightened, or surprised, he meets whatever surprised or frightened him with snarls, grunts, and hisses. So all in all, he's more like a wild Weyrbrat than an Onyxrider. This doesn't mean he can't be civil, it just means you better tell him what to expect when entering a room, or you'll have a wild man on your hands.

History:
O'sin shows signs of abuse, yet when anyone ever questioned him about it, he simply rolled up his sleeves, showed the scars on his arms, turned, and walked away. To him, the past is in the past, and how he started life is of no concern to anyone.
As a little backdrop though, I will tell O'sin's story. Born to theives and beggers, O'sin wasn't beaten as an infant, but he was left to starve on some nights and others he got scraps. When he turned five, the beatings started. First they were just for things he did wrong, then as he grew, they grew in both strenght and reasoning. If he set a knife out of place on his father's belt, beaten. If he tried to sneak a piece of meat from his mother, beaten. His body became hard and toned just from the beatings alone.
When he was eight, his father passed and his mother found herself a new mate within a few hours. This mate was far worse than his father, and O'sin decided it was time to go. He ran away from his home, happened upon a Greenrider, who took one look at this filthy, scarred boy, and took him back to the Weyr.
He was natured by the women of Black Obsidian Weyr, but he never truely trusted any, always flincing as they walked by with their hands raised, or fleeing whenever a harsh word was spoken. He was like a spooked animal that no one could control. It wasn't until his eleven turn that he settled down. He was watching the dragons and was able to watch a Gold Rise. He never found out the Gold's name, or even what happened to her clutch, but from that day on, he knew what he wanted to do with his life.
He threw himself into his studies and worked harder than he ever had to gain the strenght to become a dragonrider. He started talking to others, mainly because he didn't want to have to put a hatchling through the silence and aloniness he had gone through. Now, he stills works hard, intent on Impression with a dragon. Standing at Gold Cometh's Hatching, Oisin became O'sin when Onyx Svarth hatched and was Impressed by him.
Weyrling Lessons came naturally to the two, who breezed through and graduated with ease. Then Gold Horibath Rose, and Onyx Svarth gave Chase to his clutch sister, actually catching her, making O'sin the new Senior Weyrleader, and unseating Da'im of Brown Morth. O'sin's time as Weyrleader was short, as shortly after her Rise, Gold Horibath, and her Rider Panthea, went between, taking with them, most of her clutch, but leaving enough to get by with. O'sin worried as his Onyx took the Gold's place and for a long time afterward, both went into mourning for their lost mates.
Now, with Gold Horibath's dragonets fully grown and Violet Lunith almost about to graduate Weyrling lessons, O'sin has started to come back out of his shell, and slowly moving back into his old self.

Dragon personality:
As a hatchling, Svarth mauled O'sin showing that there would either be a very strong bond or a very wild dragon. This Onyx turned out to be both. He is very protective of O'sin, though he doesn't always show it, while at the same time, he sometimes acts just like a wild, feral dragon that is only living within the walls of a Weyr because of his Rider's health.
Intelligent, understanding, caring, kind, Svarth only posses two of those four things, mainly the first two. Not one to go around curbing his tongue or reaching out to help in kindness, Svarth would rather toss someone in the lake if they bother him.
