WEYLIN & BETH
GENERAL
Name: Weylin & BethAge: 21
Birth Season: Fall
Occupation: Wanderer
Kingdom: Dresmond
Citizen Status: Citizen
PHYSICAL
Weight: 99 lbs
Body Description: Short, scrawny, and with a mop of messy ashy brown hair, Weylin is not one to stand out in a crowd and he tends to prefer it that way. He has dark brown eyes that make him look doe like and a soft, sweet smile.
Beth, with her vibrantly colored coat and boldly striped tail is often the one who draws others attention to them, far more than Weylin anyway. Her sweet face and cute panda waddle make her a creature that brings a smile to anyone's face.
PERSONAL
Aspirations/Ambitions: Living a simple, peaceful life without the influence of the Eldouir
Alignment: Neutral Good
Reputation: Weylin is shy and sweet. He loves being around joyful things but has a hard time coming out of his shell enough to participate, preferring the comfort of simply watching rather than risk embarrassment. He is social enough to enjoy being around people over being completely alone but it certainly a wallflower. He is kind and caring, noticing the needs of others even if they don't even realize they might need something. He wants the best for people and to see them safe and happy. He's easily the kind of person to give up his own ration of food to give to another without a second thought. A lover of the arts and creativity, it's not rare to find him whittling a piece of wood into a figure or painting with the supplies his lover gave him before he had to leave Arynn Frey.
Beth is far more openly social. She's silly and playful and enjoys being the center of attention. She helps Weylin to focus in on things that are important even if they are uncomfortable, helping to push him to act rather than hide. It's a work in progress. She is naturally an information gatherer, particularly through things like gossip, and digs for information that might prove useful one day.
Combat Experience: Using tools for farming and then tools for mining. No official combat training.
MAGIC
Dark - Red Panda - Beth
HISTORY
Adam + panther water dyr - Father (Deceased), Eve + snake plant dyr - Mother (deceased), siblings, half siblings, the Rashai
Tale:
Weylin was born in the Kushti caravan and it was there that he thrived. The peaceful, warm, inviting nature of the caravan was right where Weylin felt comfortable. He had a good relationship with both of his parents though he was as much a child of the caravan as much as the rest of them. He was sure that when he went through the naming ceremony that he would end up with a dyr who had one of the magics in the Kushti.
But he was wrong. Meeting Beth was both a blessing and a challenge for the young dresmondi. She was all the vibrant parts of him that he'd always been, and still is, too nervous to show. Her magic was the bigger problem. Dark. See, this was a particular problem for Weylin because he had always been, and still is, afraid of the dark. Not to mention that upon his naming they were sent away from the Kushti and moved into Rashai instead. Beth tried to encourage him. It was at least better than Adoi and Dijila which were both more combative. Rashai had the kind of community that he liked, even if he was more prone to watching all the singing, dancing, and general merriment than actually participating. It was the work that was problem. Being sent into tunnels and mines was more than just something Weylin didn't enjoy, it was something he absolutely hated. Fear of the dark and of enclosed spaces made it a particular challenge.
But it wasn't all bad. He met Demelza & Oberon there. She was everything that Weylin was not and he idolized her. If it hadn't been for her, he was sure his time in the Rushai would have been so intolerable that he just might have left. Fate would have it that he never had to make that decision. The caravans were combined, upon which he found out that both of his parents had died in the Coheed attack orchestrated by Bellamy.
Upon the arrival of the Eldouir, it didn't take a lot of convincing for Weylin to join Demelza and they fled to Arynn Frey. There was a small part of him that felt guilty for abandoning the other Dresmondi to deal with their new invaders, but for the most part Weylin was just glad to be away from the conflict. Arynn Frey was wonderful. Known for being the most peaceful Kingdom in Terra Nova, Weylin loved to see all that the Arynnites could accomplish without the need for the regular battles. There was a better way.
It was while they were there that Weylin fell in love for the first time with a young Arynnite man. Life seemed as if it couldn't be more perfect but fate had other ideas. Chased down by the Eldouir during the wall attack, Weylin and Demelza were forced to return back to Dresmond lest they should face their deaths. Leaving behind the man he loved and having lost many other friends during the attack, Weylin made his way back to Dresmond to see just what kind of world the Eldouirs had created.
