[mc16neo]

Name: Rogin

Age: 29

Gender: male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Rank: Renegade Leader

Appearance: Rogin is about 5'11 and 210lb. He is very muscular and always wears something to cover his face when outside. He has short black hair and light blue-grey eyes. He has callouses on his hands and a scar on his left eye slanted to go to his left cheek. He has pierced his left ear, one on the lobe of his ear and 2 on the upper part of his left ear.

update: Rogin now has various knife scars on his right arm and his chest.

Personality: He is always in a bad mood and is easy to anger. He would kill you as quickly as look at you. He hates to see people happy and loves to see their misery. He is as wicked as they come and it won't change anytime soon. His greatest strength is that he has exceptional fighting skills. One weakness is that he is over confident. But his greatest weakness is to see a lonely child.

Though at times he would seem nice to those around him, underneath he is nothing but a manipulative killer. The moment he believes you can no longer be trusted or just has no need for you he will kill you. He is violent by nature and has an odd gift at bonding with violent creatures. Some might say it is the nature of the beast.

History: He really is the eldest son of Kital and Kisha. When he was about 5 turns old he was given up to a foster family and that is when it all went down hill from there. He had to do drudge work. When he was 12 his step-mom died which caused his step-father abused and mistreated so often any ounce of good was beaten out of him. Though he didn't scar physically he did mentally.

When he was 16 he ended up fighting back and almost killed his foster father. He was sent away and was picked up by a Renegade group called the Black Thorns. He learned everything from them. At the age of 18 he took control of the bandit group by beating the leader nearly to death. When he took the group out to raid a caravan he saw two familiar faces holding a 5 turn old son. It was the same parents that gave him up to that abusive family.

He felt no pity as he told the Renegades to attack the caravan and take what they want. The caravan fought back and most were killed, as well as most of the bandits, But Rogin wanted the pleasure to kill his old parents himself. Since then he has been traveling around Pern, raiding and creating trouble in small portions until his group was back to full power. He was last seen at a nearby Hold recruiting some unfavorable for his band of renegades.

Most recently when he decided to visit his honor-holder at Darkmoon weyr he saw a chance to attack his little brother. With the aid of Veran and Konta, Rogin attack Kegin and fought it out with fist and blade. In the process he received a multitude of new scars but in the end he drove a knife into Kegin's chest. He wasn't sure if Kegin was killed but there was no other thought that would happen.

[mc16neo]

Name: Veran

Rank: Renegade

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Sexual Preference: Heterosexual

Appearance: Veran stands at 5'11, an average height. He isn't muscular but not large as well. Some say a comfy middle. He has black hair and dark brown eyes. He has scars on his hands and arms. There is a crescent scar on the back of his hand, a scar on his right arm going up from his wrist to his elbow. On his left arm the is a scar in the shape of thread. There are other various places on his body with scars, going around his right from stomach to back, from a knife held by Rogin. A scar going from chest to back over his left shoulder, and a small scar on his throat are to name a few on his body.

Personality: Veran is like a coin. On the one side he is of the calculating sort. He measures risks and life in general by numbers. Veran is smart and cunning, and never trusts easily. His worst trait is that he is manipulative. But he does give chance for someone to earn his trust. He is just prepared if they get betrayed.

But on the other side of the coin, at some point of a relationship with someone, wither friendship or anything else, once that trust is established then his word is as good as a dragonriders. He will risk life and limb to keep that person safe no matter the cost.

In general he is a cautious person. he prefers to think it out before acting. Some would say if he was a guard he would be a skilled tactician. He sees people as each individual. Veran is watchful and cunning but kind once deserving.

History: Veran was born in a small hold in the north. He was born from a weavercraft mother and a Smith father. He would often play alone, mostly because he didn't get along to well with other kids.

It wasn't until a small girl, a turn or two younger then Veran, came up to play with him. At first Veran wanted nothing to do with her. He tried to get away. It wasn't until she yelled at him that he was willing to let her play with him. He liked that she was straight forward with him. That she crossed her arms and looked like she would sit on him if he tried to leave. His father thought that the girl made him realize he was acting foolishly. Veran actually found a part of him in the girl. She was the one person he could turn to and speak freely. He stopped his repression from the people of the Hold and adored his new friend.

At 15 turns Veran took the girl to a gather on a date. He was acting like a real gentlemen and his father was happy. While having a good time the pair saw many interesting things they never saw before. One being the Toss dance. It was this dance that things changed for Veran and he began to revert into the person he once was. A man came up to Veran's date before he had a chance to ask her to dance. She went with the new guy to dance but never came back to Veran after. Veran saw her leave with him, dumping him, and this caused Veran's heart to break. Being without her only made him want to take his anger out on others.and so did the fact that the one person he thought he could trust turned her back on him.

Veran joined the woodcraft at 17 and dug in deep. Tired of his fathers bantering about being a normal boy and making new friends he decided it best to focus only on his craft, that way his father would think he was making friends inside of it when in truth he was just wanting to improve his skills. This caused his hands and to become scared from practice of using the tools of the trade and getting cut by them.

Veran befriended a few among the holdless that where near his Hold. Veran didn't have a grudge against the holdless so there was no need to act on violent tendencies for a time, and had no need to push them away. He learned from the holdless how to survive in the wild on his own. He enjoyed what time he spent away from his father.

At the age of 18 he ran into a group of thieves and picked up the skill. He grew to love to learn about the Darker side of society. It was a turn later that while trying to steal from a cloaked man his life almost ended.

Fear shook him for the first time. At 19 he met his first renegade. This man was evil to the core and would have killed him. Veran had tried to steal some marks off him but was caught with a knife to his throat. But Veran was a fast thinker. He found a way to appeal to the man's needs. He was a skilled thief and very good at making plans. he would work for the renegade.

It wasn't till his fourth month of working that he found out who he was with. Rogin of the Black Thorns renegade group had made it clear there was no leaving once he joined. Through training on how to survive as a renegade as well as the martial prowess to survive Veran acquired many assorted scars on his body. Each one gained from hard practice, but he enjoyed it so he persevered.

Now 22, Veran has accepted this group. In fact he loves the life of a renegade. But most of all if it served their goal he was allowed to kill. He was able to bring out the fears of others on the people that hated him. He found a place he belonged and never wanted to leave.

She is agile and sticks to the shadows. She likes to play the role of 'stupid' and plays it very well. She actually very smart. Tiaholt is a determined young lady. She is stubborn and loyal to those who she deems worthy. She doesn't handle change too well but knows its inevitable. All she wants is somewhere to call home, where she feels comfortable.

She acts fearless but she is not. Her deepest fear is getting caught and sentenced to exile. She dislikes being told what to do but will adhere to it, without compliant. She gets bored very easily so she needs to be constently challenged. She fears failure, especially when she isn't sure what to do. She has a habit of biting her nails when she is nervous.

Deep inside, she is a very good friend; loyal and honest. She knows she can she do any task that a man, but better. She is very confident almost to the point of arrogance. She's a little stuck-up at first but when you get to know her she can be an asset. She takes the initiative She is ambitious and adventurous.


History: Tiaholt was born in a small cothold north of Telgar Weyr. Her mother was a Master Beastcrafter and her father, a Senior Journeyman Healer. She was taught how to read and write by her father and told her that he was going away for awhile but her mother will stay behind. Tiaholt's mother had bought her a canine pup age 7, once she proved that she could handle a pet.. She named him Boop because of the game she had played with her. Everytime she touched his nose, Tiaholt would go 'Boop' and the kitten pawed her nose. That was his 'Boop'. She purred. She hugged her mother and said thank you.

Even though her mother was there she felt abandoned by her father by age of 11. That's when the trouble started. She started to pull small local pranks on random people. When she got caught by the guards stealing marks from one of them, she was reported to her mother and told sternly to never do it again. She promised. She had lied to her mother and it thrilled her. She thought it was fun, a game. She escaladed up to a pickpocket and idle threats; if you don't do this, I'll do that kind of a thing and the 'that' winded up being not too good.

At age 13, she started to steal from her fellow classmates, she did it so it would appear to be a another prank. It was reported again to her mother. Her mother was a Beastcrafter, true but she had worked with the dragonriders before in the Weyr when on assignment. When she got home, she was offered to be a dragonrider by her mother and said it was the best. She had refused and had a heated arguement about it. This is what started her dislike her; her mother trying to seek what was best for her troublesome child. She explained to her what it meant to be one and offered again and let her think on it. A turn later, her mother asked her daughter again and again she refused and told her the her life was her life and to keep out of it. Her mother explained to her what would possibly happen if she went down this road. Tiaholt said that she didn't care and that she drove her father away and blamed her for ruining their family and that's why her father's not back yet.

Fresh from the battle against her mother wanting her to be a dragonrider, she wasn't going to attack her mother, she wasn't stupid. Instead, she started to run. Her mother started to go after her and caught her. She told her daughter that she was grounded for the duration of 1 week. She narrowed her eyes at her and told her that she was being punished for -not- agreeing to becoming a dragonrider and said that she wouldn't hear of it and that her mother couldn't force her to become one. At that point, she hated her mother still she wasn't going to attack. That would be foolish, especially if her dragon was there, which he was. She had delt with the punishment to make it look like she had learned her lesson. After the week was over, she acted 'good' in her mother's eyes. She didn't pull any pranks, threaten or hurt people for about a Turn.

Her mother thought she learned her lesson and extended her curfew 1 hour. That wasn't enough for Tiaholt oh no. She 'played' innocent until age 14. She began to pull pranks again, causing trouble once more. Her mother could not believe it and was disappointed she tricked her. She let Tiaholt know about it and told her if she was going to keep this up, -she- would throw her in jail herself. It was an idle threat and Tiaholt saw right through it. She said that she forgot who she was talking to and that she didn't act upon empty threats unlike her mother.

At 15, she had gotten worse. She started to carry through on her threats and as a result, some people were afraid of her and gave her anything that she wanted. She started to hurt other people to a small extent. She started fights, arguements and obliterated any chance of a happy life. Her mother tried one more time to try to redeem her. Her mother knew that if couldn't she redeem her daughter soon, she would loose her to the ruffians and whoever else was out there. Her mother explained to her that she was trying to help her and trying to save Tiaholt from herself and that she felt she was loosing her. Tiaholt stood there, unmoved by a mother's plea. She told her mother for the last time that she did not want to be a dragonrider due to her pressuring her. Her mother tried to prevent her from leaving the house until her father returned. Tiaholt screamed at her mother and stomped up to her room and slammed the door and cried.

Now, at 16, she is wondering if there is anything more to life than just being just a petty thief. She waited until her mother left for her next assignment and then snuck out of the window. She works the crowd, doing what she does best with Boop following. She was bored. She wanted to move on to greater and bigger things but she didn't know how.

There was a small Gather going on and it usually provided very small profit. She rolled her eyes and sighed. Boop tried to cheer her up but she wanted more than this. She smiled at Boop and stratched his cheek, reassuredly as she went and did her same old boring routine.

Appearance:Talavi is 5’5”, stocky and lightly muscled. She has wavy, long black hair to her shoulders and brown eyes. She is quite pretty for a 16 Turn old girl. She has a silver necklace with a pendant shaped like a dolphin around her neck. For her garb, She wears a white blouse with a black leather vest on top. She wears a leather skirt for a bottom. It fits very snug and her.

She has two studs in each ear. Her body is curvaceous and sensual. Not at all what a 14 Turn old should be. Her breast are medium and feet are small. She has high cheek bones and a dimpled chin. She was a four inch scar on her cheek.

She's not quiet, yet not loud either. She is loyal to those who she sees friends. She has something to prove and in a man's world, that can be a lot. She is a stubborn and determined with an excellent work ethic. Tali puts up great front, but it can be broken with great patience, love and understanding. She has a way with playing tricks. She plays the 'cry wolf' role all too well. She can appear that trouble follows her everywhere she goes. She is calculating and twisted. She hardly laughs, though it is known that she when she does it is ruining other peoples' happiness. She likes to watch things suffer. In that aspect, she is relentlessly cold and ruthless. She hides her true self so deep that it is more difficult to get to. She does things that may appear to be annoying but in reality, she is reaching out for help.

On the other side of the coin, she is a very loving and compassionate young woman. She is patient and willing to
give her life to those in danger. You will have to dig deep and stick with this pretty woman through thick and thin, if you want to /really/ get to know her. She is really kind to all living things and believe life to be sacred but she will kill on command, if needed.

History: Tali was born in the southern continent. Her mother, a dolphincrafter, wanted to train Talavi, but she didn't want her to. She was fascinated with the ships that came into the harbor and docked. She asked her father if, when she was old enough, if he would train her but he said it was too dangerous for a girl. That it was a man's world and -she- should know her place and being a seacrafter is no craft for a lady. She told him that she could do anything a man could, even better. Her father laughed, called her stupid and to leave him alone. She was 7. She grumbled and walked away. Talavi actually had a birthing day party at 8 Turns! Her mother gave her a necklace with a dolphin pendant on it.

When she presented it to her, she let her put it on. She hugged her and give her a kiss. Her father didn't give her anything because he thought the birthing days parties were a waste of time and didn't care. This hurt Talavi a little. Her mother -knew her- place. Her father was -not- a train a -girl- to do his work besides being a Seacrafter in -not- a woman's job. That was a _man's_ job!

At age 10, she asked her father again if he would train her and again it was the same old routine. Being a Seacrafter was a man's job and not a woman's and to know her place. She asked her father why and he said that it was dangerous. They started to fight once more, ending in Talavi tackling her dad in rage, almost killing him with his small Axe. Her father said he report her and turn her in but he never did. This enraged her. She hit her own father and she stomped off. Her father raced after her. She ran, fearing for her life, she hid underneath the house. The house was on stilts to prevent floods.

"Wait until I get my hands on you, brat! I'll find you and when I do, you will pay for hitting me!" he growled with a vengeance.

At age 11, Tali was playing with one of her friends. Her father said something smart that was supposed to set her off but surprise, surprise...it didn't phase her one bit. This made her father grumble, menacingly, under his breath. It was nothing good, that's for sure. Talavi heard it and rolled her eyes. She had heard it all before...same old stuff. Then she thought she'd try being a seacrafter. She told her father he would try his craft but if she did like it she would want to continue what we wanted to do. If he didn't like it, she would let him go in 2 Turns. He had refused and Talavi tackled him and put a knife to his throat, almost killing him. If it wasn't for a client coming up for a bit of business, she would have.

At 14, she had asked her father once more if he would train her as an Apprentice. He still refused and told her to know her place and she would be fine. She asked what he meant by that. Her father only growled under his breath. She kept on bothering him about it.

"Know your place, girl!" he spat. "Get out of my way, freak!" this was the last time he would call her bad names! She had took a small Axe from his shipyard and attacked him! She had it poised but she couldn't do it. That's when her father used his knife and sliced her cheek four inches. She ran away to the woods, Rogin's forest. Her father ran in to the forest and began hunting for her and eventually found her.

"You can't hide from me! No matter where you go, I will follow.." Talavi screamed that she hated him and wished him dead. He tried to get her to come back home where she could get her punishment. Her eyes narrowed and she attacked. Her father thwarted her attack and countered with a slap. She wounded her father with his own knife!

After her mother found out that her mate drove their daughter away, they had some heated words and she told him that she would leave him. Her mate tried to stop her but she summoned her dolphin partner and rode off, never to return. The man that was her mate watched her vanish into the sun on the horizon.

Her father smiled as if he didn't care. His mind went on Talavi and went searching for her to finish the dastardly task unveiling his demise. This was Rogin's forest and he was unaware of how dangerous the forest can be, knowing now that her mother wasn't there to protect her.

Now, Talavi's on the run from her father. If he finds her and catches her, he will kill her. She ran and his in a hole in a tree. The hole was block half way by a massive boulder. Rogin and Konta were in the a area when they heard her father's insane rantings. When Rogin and her father had words, Tali came out and switched her father's knife with a wooden stick. When her father attacked Him, Rogin had the better of him and deafeated him. Soon after, Konta handed Tali his knife and told her to kill him. She looked at Rogin with a twisted smile. She talked with her father for a bit then, she did it. She killed her own father. No words were exchanged, just by mere presence. That gave her enough confidence to do the deed without remorse. That was when Rogin decided to take her on as a Family member of the Black Thorn.

Her flame birthmark appears to almost radiate heat and may have the appearance of glowing before she is angered.

A little hellion to boot, she is very destructive and can make people fear her with just one look. She can look at people and they run the other way, screaming in fear. She does not yet understand why they to do this. She wants friends and a family that isn't broken. Sometimes she wishes she was blind so that they wouldn't run. This child is special. She, too, thinks she was cursed to be alone for all time.

History: Talavi's blood sister. Kessa was born in the northern continent. It didn't show up until she was 4. She was sent away because of the mark was thought to be a curse and she went into foster care. Because of her birthmark, her mother Ciequar, hid her away. She was secretly ashamed of her because of the mark was in the shape a flame. She was thought to be cursed. No one wanted her.

At 5, she was constantly picked on and she moved from place to place because no one wanted her all because of that mark on her forehead. She cried at night alone with no friends, no one to hold her while she cried. She was caged and treated like an animal at freak shows at festivals. People pointed at her and threw rocks at her. They called her names and was taken care of very often or well. Her name at the freak show was 'Flame, The Fire starter' Even though she couldn't start fires, the name sounded interesting.

At 6, their father had found her and hurt her. She was in her room when it happened. He tried to have his way with her. She got mad and put a good 6 inch cut on his forearm. He sliced her stomach 4 inches and she didn't even cry! Her mother protected her by hitting her husband. She knew then it wasn't safe and had to take her with her She fed her and gave her warmth from the wind and rain. She secretly wanted to leave the child somewhere but she didn't. Kessa was very grateful and loved her, as it should be. When she left again, Kessa was alone again to fend for herself. She sighed and wished that no one would leave her again. She stopped talking due to what her father tried to do.

At 8, Ciequar came back and got her daughter back and tried to take care of her again until she could find a family wouldn't turn her away. She knew of a place. With her blood sister, Talavi. She went back and made her go with her. It took a year to find to find it. She put a folded bandanna on her forward to cover her birthmark. She started talk a little with her mother teaching her simple words so she could at least communicate until she had the capability of her talking completely.

Now, she asked Rogin if he could care for her. At first he was reluctant but then he accepted. He took her into a building and told her not leave until he said so. She sighed and agreed. She took off her headband and said, "Flame. No Kessa. Flame." and pointed to the flame birthmark.

If you want to get to know Ranim then you will have to go through some rough waters with him. He makes it very tough to get to know.

History: Ranim was born in Tegar Hold. His mother was a Master Beastcrafter and his father was a Senior Journeyman Harper but also a Bluerider. He had made sure his sister feared dragons at 10 Turns of age. He hated his father because they always argued about the most trivial things and his father was the one that started it. When ever his father went went away, he'd tell her that dragons would eat her when they had the chance and that the riders would hurt her in any way possible.

He was 14 when he convinced her that all dragonriders were evil. When his father came back, Rori screamed and ran the other way. He and his father got into another trivial argument about how Ranim was dressed. Ranim attacked his father and Roridyn tried to protect her brother, instead got her left eye tore out by her father's knife. It was rather painful. Ranim kicked his father in his face. His dragon nearly killed Ranim for the attack of his rider but his father told his dragon no and to let him go. Relunctantly, the blue let Ranim go.

This confirmed another point that Ranim was trying to make, that dragons will kill if nescessary. He ran and promised his sister he return for her. She begged him to take her with him. Ranim had to go, otherwise get caught for attacking a dragonrider. He had explained this to his sister. With tears in her eyes, she understood. Ranim said that he would promise to back for her after he searched a way to better protect her. Ranim became a Apprentice Farmer so that he could be near his sister, yet out of reach from the dragonriders. This is where is made up his nickname Nym, to fool the dragonriders if they did a search on the Hold. They were looking for Ranim, not Nym.

At age 15 he saw a tall man built like a monster. Next to him was a canine and a smaller man. Out of both men it was the smaller of the two that truly gave him a sense of dread. The eyes was what did it. They were cunning and heartless. Ranim was both worried and intrigued by the man's apperance. He followed the pair and ended up being grabbed. The bigger man held him like a doll in one hand. The smaller looked at him and he saw his life pass before his eyes.

A part of him regretted running away. But he looked at him. The man chuckled and then glared. He walked closer to Ranim and before he knew it Ranim was begging for his life. The man looked at Ranim like a piece of meat. The shorter man nodded to the bigger and Ranim was set down. HE was told that Ranim must follow him.

Fearing his life Ranim did. The smaller walked ahead into a cotholding and there he saw many other men. The smaller man introduced himself as Rogin. Rogin asked why he was in a place he didn't belong. Ranim was confused but realized soon what he meant. He admitted to attacking his father and Rogin smiled. At that he recruited Ranim into what Rogin called, the family, but really was a band of Renegades known as the Black Thorns. Ranim accepted and began to work as the younger brother of the group.

at 18 he continued his craft as a farmer. Rogin said they needed a way to get food without anyone suspecting. Ranim was only eager to follow orders. He looked up to Rogin as an older brother and did anything to find acceptance in him. Rogin used this and together Ranim began to reach his potential as a renegade.

at 20 Rogin took Ranim under his wing and taught him the arts of a renegade. How to hide in the open and tell stories of truth with lies. Even now Ranim still wishes for Rogin's acceptance. He has asked Rogin to kill his father or train him to do it himself. That was his ultimate goal.

Ranim, under Rogin's command, he went back for his sister. His fathers dragon always remembered how Ranim treated his rider. Dragon and Rider gave chase after them both. Ranim led his sister in the forest under the protection of the trees and returned back to the camp, notifying Rogin of his sister's arrival.
