Dragon
- Name:
- Seeth
- Age:
- 19
- Color:
- Brown
- Notable Appearance:
- Left side (wing and legs) discolored from acid burn scars.
- Appearance:
- Being a fairly large brown, Seeth takes pride in having this extra size to flaunt his alluring hide. A dark chocolate brown with only a few lighter streaks in it, his hide was once quite eye-catching, though now the whole left side of his body has a creamy hue streaked with off-white to it from the severe injuries he and H'lee sustained during Fall.
His once-elegant form has lost none of its appearances--as long as you view his starboard side. He is more self-conscious of his left side than his rider is, having no way to conceal it like H'lee can. Similar to H'lee, his left hind leg can no longer extend to its full length, making ground launches very difficult. Due to their injuries, the pair have a lower weyr which has ground access for both rider and dragon. A special sturdy ramp and platform were built to allow Seeth to get into the air again after his recovery.
His scarred left wing (which is a whitish shade of ochre) will no longer furl completely; with most of the sail ravaged, it was touch and go whether he could grow enough to allow him to fly again, but with the gentle ministrations of his dragonhealing rider and his friend, T'lon, he did. However, they didn't get the bones of the wing set quite right, resulting in excess sail growth and weaker inner muscles. He flies well enough, but it took lots of practice before he learned how to fly without overextending the wing and pulling those muscles. - Personality:
- Shrewd and endlessly resourceful, Seeth is both a useful and suspicious dragon that compliments his rider quite well. His one downfall is his lack of responsibility for he is rather skittish and will fervently deny any accusation towards him, even if they're true. He has an extraordinarily strong bond to H'lee, often to the extent of occasionally finishing one another's thoughts. Many attribute this to the healing process, but those who really knew the pair knew that the bond was there long before they were injured in Fall.
He has occasionally been attributed with the randiness of a green; whenever someone says that to him, though, he denies it fiercely. Of course, one look at his rider and everyone knows where it comes from. He can be quite gentlemanly with the ladies (both humans and dragons) when he wants to be, but if he catches one staring at his scars, he'll bottle himself up and leave in as dignified a manner as possible. He gets very sullen when he thinks someone's gawking at his scars, particularly when that someone is female.

Standing at a mere five inches over five feet, H'lee is rather small for a man--good thing his personality more than compensates. He's a bit of an odd duck in terms of stature. When sitting or lounging at his ease, he appears to be like any other rider: comparatively broad across the chest, narrow in the waist, and taller than he actually is (the last one is his favorite part). When he stands, however, his physical inhibitions become apparently; as if he wasn't already shorter than average, his permanently crippled left leg, unable to straighten fully, shortens his stature a full three inches. Although he sometimes doesn't consider this a bad thing...
He keeps his dusty auburn hair cropped short and though it's usually swept back (how it stays is anyone's guess), it often appears to be untidy, particularly when wet. The hue of his locks highlight his eyes, which are a gorgeous and terribly conspicuous navy blue. He uses his narrow face, his hair, and eyes to cultivate an innocent expression that can fool (almost) anyone. Overall, his appearance is fairly charming.
Most often, he dresses however he pleases, but it always reflects his mood and his goals for wherever he's venturing. Typically, he likes loose clothing that hangs off of him attractively, particularly long vests. Part of the idea is that it helps to conceal his crooked left leg, and all of the motion of the frills and flaps of clothing helps to hide his faltering stride in the illusion of movement.

Personality
Having apparently no regard for the expected behavior of a certain age group, H'lee acts fairly immature for one as old as he. Preposterously melodramatic, this brownrider can blow-up even the most insignificant things into grand events that border on being unrealistic. He loves telling tales, and always has; he'd have made a good Harper if he'd had any musical interest at all. His favorite story to tell, now, is the story of what happened to his leg, and to Seeth's wing. Although he is somewhat self-conscious about his limp, he says that it's the grandest story that's ever happened to him.
However, for the ranking individuals there could not be a more angelic man who will go out of his way to make a good impression. Too bad he's a dirty little snitch--threaten him just a little and he'll spill every transgression he's made since he was six. Of course, how accurate those are in the telling depends on the person threatening him.
He is also rather lascivious. He is a shameless flirt and next to impossible to tie down. Like his friend T'lon, he's not at all interested in long-term relationships (see also, Gary Allan's "As the Crow Flies"). He's left a slough of broken hearts behind him over the years and yet, despite this, many of these devastated women cannot help but fall all over again any time he turns his charm back on them. It's not that he intentionally breaks hearts, it's that, until Lery, he'd never met a woman that he had gotten more than a casual attachment to, but he is a friend to most every woman he's ever bedded, first and foremost, and a lover second. Thus, he has many women friends who can see past the coquetry and give back to him as good as they get. His devotion to Lery and Alina is subtle and often hard to see, even for the women themselves, sometimes causing them some frustration and anxiety. He is also supportive of his three children, but because of what happened to her mother, he is excessively protective of his eldest daughter, Nylee.
