[center]APPEARANCE[/center]
HAIR: Black
EYES: Blue
HEIGHT: 5' 9"
WEIGHT: Lean
PLAY-BY: Noctis Lucis Caelum (FFXV)
APPEARANCE:
Noctis stands at the below-average height of 5' 9", and no, you
may not call him short. Or use him as an armrest. His build is
lean, but not devoid of musculature. Noctis sports lovely dark
blue eyes, a trait he and his mother shared. His hair is black
and as stubborn as a herdbeast, naturally spiky, but requiring
attention daily, lest Noctis walk out the door with wicked
bedhead. His facial expression seems to be held in a constant
frown, for some unknown reason, except around his close friends.
When it comes to clothing, Noctis dresses respectably enough,
often in slacks and a dress shirt, with a jacket and his boots;
all black, for some reason. A pair of large and defined scars
cross Noctis' back, over his spine; tribute to a terrible
accident while flying routine patrols. Noctis strives to keep
them covered at all times, and hates for others to see or touch
them.
[center]PERSONALITY[/center]
PERSONALITY:
One of the first traits that can be discovered about Noctis is
his laziness. If he had things his way, he wouldn't even leave
his rooms. If possible, Noctis would sleep all day, every day.
But he's gotta eat, so he deals. When vegetables make an
appearance, he vehemently refuses to eat them, sticking to what
he likes: sweets. Provide Noctis with a pastry, and he'll be
much more willing to listen to whatever tune is being fifed.
Don't, and suffer. Alas, sweets aren't common, so Noct treasures
what he does get.
Noctis is stubborn as well. If he doesn't want to do something,
he'll dig his feet in and refuse to budge. That said, Noctis
isn't all bad. He understands he has some duties as a
dragonrider, and engages in whatever duties are placed before
him, though not without the mandatory grumbles and bitter
complaints. He has a weak spot other than sweet things, however:
fishing. Ever since he was a child, Noctis has been in love with
fishing, and finds the opportunity to fish at Westwind a welcome
one.
Deep down, Noctis has an...odd affection for people. He wants to
do his best to help others, but he's often shuttered;
untouchable except by those he loves and trusts. Distant and
aloofly quiet, Noctis is comparable to a cat. A small, surly,
grumpy cat who'd rather sleep all day. All in all, Noctis can be
a pain in the ass to deal with. He's slothful, doesn't enjoy
working, stubborn over ridiculous matters, constantly trying to
sleep ridiculous hours, and a picky eater to boot. Yet under
that exterior hides a decent man.

STATUS: Taken (Ignis of Bronze Luciiath
HTML https://windsofchangerp.createaforum.com/meteor-wing/ignis-of-bronze-luciiath/msg54/#msg54)
HISTORY: TW: death/loss
Noctis was born to Regis and Aulea, beloved Holders of a Minor
Hold of Benden. Sadly, Noctis never got to know his mother
personally, as she died bearing him into the world. Regis never
held it against his son, raising the boy as much as he could
around both his duties as Holder and the grooming of his older
son Ranna. As a result, Noctis grew up surrounded by a variety
of caregivers, while his father watched over him from afar.
Being the second born to his father's first wife, Noctis wasn't
truly brought up to take over the Hold in his father's stead one
day. That was Ranna's job by right. Still, in the event of a
tragedy, Regis provided tutoring to Noctis, though the younger
son was allowed to...slack off more than Ranna. With Ranna
getting most of the attention and doing most of the work, Noctis
had solitude. Nevertheless, he didn't mind being left alone;
more time to sleep.
The same as his brother Ranna, Noctis received a companion of
similar age and status, to serve as his advisor and companion.
The one selected for him was Ignis, the firstborn of a resident
noble family, and while it took some time, the two of them grew
close. By the time they were teenagers, they were inseparable,
along with the two other friends they had made, Prompto and
Gladiolus. In Noctis' 13th Turn, the group of them made
acquaintances with a young woman named Lunafreya. The stories
she told of her dreams for Candidacy intrigued Ignis and
entranced Prompto, and both spoke to Noctis and Gladiolus about
applying for Candidacy. Noctis was...reluctant. Ever since he
was a child, Regis had impressed upon his children that the life
of a dragonrider was one of duty and honor, and Noctis wasn't
certain he wanted that. But the way Ignis' eyes lit up at the
prospect; how Prompto's delight was near palpable. At last,
Noctis agreed. Upon Noctis' Turnday to 15, he packed his things
and went to Benden Weyr with his friends.
None of them were chosen by the dragonets in the first few
hatchings they attended. None lost hope, even as Noctis masked
his bitter disappointment. It would be the following Turn that
fortune smiled upon most of them. While Ignis Impressed a fine
bronze, a lazy blue meandered his way to Noctis' side.
Insomniath was the best dragon Noctis could ever hope for; a
match made in heaven. But it was not the bronze or even brown
expected of the son of a Lord Holder...and Noctis didn't care.
In fact, he preferred it that way. Much to his pleasure, all of
them had Impressed together! The lot of them would be weyrlings
together! Noctis entered weyrlinghood with his head high, even
as Ignis was showered with praise for riding bronze, while
Noctis suffered veiled insult and harassment for being bonded to
his blue. Yet regardless of what others said, Noctis was proud
of his Insomniath, and pushed onward.
After graduation, Noctis and Ignis entered the wings of Benden
and accepting the duties that came with it. As such, Noctis
often flew patrols. On one such occasion, Noctis and Insomniath
were caught in a rockslide, and both were badly hurt. While both
man and dragon survived the incident, it was uncertain if Noctis
would awaken from the coma he'd fallen into. When he did awake
at last, it was uncertain if he would walk again, thanks to his
injuries. Yet Noctis was nothing but stubborn, and refused to be
crippled. It took over a Turn and so much effort, but he
regained full function of himself and returned to his duties.
After this incident, Noctis began regarding Ignis in a different
light. Of course, Ignis was one of his closest friends and
confidantes...but what if he was more too? It took Turns of
dancing around the subject before Ignis opened his heart to
Noctis at last, and Noctis extended his own in return.
The pair came together in this blossoming relationship,
informing those closest to them in short order. All of them -
Lunfreya, Gladio, and Prompto - expressed support and affection
for them and hoped for happiness to befall them. Yet most were
not so kind nor understanding. A wingmate of Ignis' caught them
in an ill-timed liplock in the hall outside the residential
weyrs, and word spread like Thread. Ignis' father started making
demands of his son, insisting that he and Noctis split
immediately. Noctis was inwardly relieved that Ignis stood firm
and refused. The harassment Noctis endured only increased with
this revelation, but he refused to submit to them. What did they
know of the intense bond he shared with Ignis? It wasn't
anyone's business but Ignis' and Noctis'. But would they have to
live with this torment forever?
The answer came to be "no." Gold Haloneth hatched and rocked the
world to its core when she chose Haurchefant to be her rider.
Pern was in an uproar, and Benden sat in stony silence; shocked.
As Ignis rode bronze, he was closest to hear what his fellow
bronzeriders wished. What they wanted was atrocious; to
permanently ground Haloneth, strip her of her right to be queen,
or even force Haloneth to rebond to a woman. Horrible things,
and Noctis found himself disgusted with it all. Ignis too was
the one who heard of a plot to spirit Haloneth out of Benden,
and strove to bring his friends to follow her. Noctis didn't
hesitate to say yes. Even if Haloneth deserved everything a
queen ought and more, Noctis would go wherever Ignis went.
Always. Noctis was glad to see that Lunafreya, Gladiolus, and
Prompto could come too. Benden wasn't safe for them anymore;
Benden wasn't home.
While the journey was a difficult and nervewracking one, it was
entirely worth it. While the Western Continent was distant and
remote, it was just right for what they needed; a place far from
the influence of Tradition, to allow Haloneth and her followers
to grow in size and strength. It didn't come as much of a
surprise to Noctis that they were no longer just a smattering of
huts and sheds, but rather a Weyr of the West. What did come as
a surprise was Weyr(wo)man Haurchefant's decision to appoint
Ignis to the position of Flightleader. Noctis was proud of his
weyrmate, to say the least. At last, all of them had found a
place where they might be safe, comfortable, and happy; free to
be who they were. While he'd never admit it, Noctis looks
forward to seeing what lies ahead, on the horizon.

- Late Spring 2612: Not long after Westwind's declaration of
Weyrhood, Noctis and Ignis become official weyrmates!

Noctis of Blue Insomniath

[center]Insomniath[/SIZE]

[size=18pt]BASICS[/center]
NAME: Insomniath
BIRTHPLACE: Benden Weyr
BIRTHDATE: Late Spring 2606
AGE: 6 as of Late Summer 2612
[center][size=18pt]APPEARANCE[/SIZE][/center]
LENGTH: 30.25 ft.
HEIGHT: 7.75 ft.
WINGSPAN: 58.5 ft.
[B]COLOR:[/B] Blue
[B]TEXT COLOR:[/B] #353798
APPEARANCE:
Insomniath is a medium-sized blue, with broad wings and a wide
head. In comparison to stereotypical blues, Insomniath appears
more built for lazy glides, rather than sharp turns or speed. In
regard to his hide, Insomniath sports a galaxy viewed by night
as a coat. The entirety of his body is a rich azure blue, and a
pattern akin to starlight is painted atop. A bold hide for such
a laidback blue.
[center][size=18pt]PERSONALITY[/SIZE][/center]
PERSONALITY:
Insomniath is a blue that couldn't be troubled to lift a claw
for the troubles of those around him. Unless you're his bonded
or someone he likes, tough luck. Sure, he'll bid you good
fortune on your endeavors, but will he put forth effort to help?
Absolutely not. That'd be work, and Insomniath doesn't do work
unless he absolutely must. Insomniath's idea of a perfect day is
one spent sleeping lazily, on a sun-warmed stone or upon his
soft couch. Insomniath appears to lack all drive whatsoever,
content to ride on the coattails of others. It is rare that he
will chase a female, and this female must be very pretty to
catch his attention; to make the effort worthwhile.
To his bonded, Insomniath is a friend and troublemaker
extraordinaire. All Insomniath wants to do is lounge about with
his bonded all day, and encourages Noctis to set aside work to
do so. Yet despite his own desires, Noctis decides to see his
duties through, and Insomniath grudgingly rises to help. Even
though he might complain bitterly about doing this or that when
he could be drowsing, Insomniath loves doing anything with his
bonded, regardless of what Noctis elects to undertake. While he
finds Noctis' weyrmate Ignis to be a touch too dutiful for his
tastes, Insomniath is deeply pleased that Noctis is happy.
Insomniath has a distinct preference for greens over golds when
he chases, for he wants nothing to do with the Weyrleadership
that comes with being the queen's mate.
VOICE: Insomniath sounds like a young man, but one who
constantly sounds half-asleep. With a lazy drawling way of
speaking, it can be hard for him to be taken seriously, if he
elects to even try.
