Candidate Nevan

Name: Nevan
Age: 16
Orientation: questioning?
Gender: male

Occupation: Candidate
Squad: N/A
Lodgings: The Square (Dragon Barracks with his parents)

Appearance: So far he looks very little like T'van, who is tall, muscular with dark hair and smouldering dark eyes. Well, he has the dark hair, thick straight locks, cut in a youthfull but shaggy fashion. His skin is creamy but pale, and he has a smattering of acne scars across his face. His eyes are shockingly blue, if only because blue eyes stand out on someone with such dark brown hair

Personality: Painfully optimistic. Happy-go-lucky. Emotionally driven. Always seems to be wrong

History: It might be easier to first state how a baby boy came to his two fathers. Nevan was actually born to a young woman named Tealia. She was married to a rather scary, and somewhat powerful man on the Surface, Nevan is not sure where. Anyway, Tealia had an affair, which resulted in pregnancy. Knowing hers and the baby's life would be forfeit if her husband found out, she had gotten in touch with her brother T'van, a bluerider living in Fallen Igen.

T'van at this time had just made his union with Neritas binding and public- they were more than just casual weyrmates, they were married. T'van couldn't care less about ever having children and was quite happy just he and Neritas. However, he also knew that Neritas was a family man who would LOVE children. Neritas always talked about adopting one of the wild things off the streets. T'van wasn't so crazy about that idea, however with his sister contacting him, it gave him an idea.

Tealia and T'van hatched a plot that she would make the long journey over land to Igen, where she would meet up with T'van and stay with her brother. She missed her family and wanted to meet her new inlaws. And since Tealia's husband wanted nothing to do with the 'Neath, the plan worked. She timed it so that she would leave before she showed much and come back after the baby was born. It was Neritas who named the child after himself and T'van. Life was good.

Growing up with two fathers wasn't a shocking or terrible notion for Nevan- at least he had two parents and lived in the plush apartment T'van's job provided the small family. Nevan had everything- whatever toys he wanted, a soft bed, loving and supportive parents, and protection from most of the evils of the world. He never once felt unwanted or a burden. Especially not with Neritas doting on him constantly. Of course there were T'van's protests that Neritas was spoiling the boy, but the flamboyant "weyr-wife" (as Neritas called himself) would have none of it!

On Nevan's 13th naming day, Neritas surprised the boy with a small velvet bag. When he pulled out a tiny egg, you've never seen such a huge smile on a child before. Neritas was very happy with himself as well, but T'van was less than pleased. He murmured harshly in Neritas' ear, "I told you not that one- it was a dud! That merchant was shady and he was trying to rip us off!" Neritas hissed back through a smile, "He said it was a very special egg, a color no one has seen before and I believe him!" Unfortunately, neither of his parents were as discreet as they thought they were, but Nevan didn't let the truth that T'van was more likely right get to him. He was determined this little egg would hatch, and he babied the poor thing. He started to call it "egg-a" because he was absolutely sure it was a female inside.

Finally, early one morning the egg started to shake and quiver, and it brought Nevan out of his half-sleep to running frantically around the barracks trying to find a bit of meat like a nervous father. When he came back, the egg was still rocking, but no cracks were forming. Then the egg lay still. Tears came to Nevan's eyes and for the first time the optimistic little boy got upset. T'van was right, why did silly Neritas buy him a dud egg? Of course it wouldn't hatch! Of course! He took the egg in his anger and hit it across the table.

There, in the broken shells, lay a small, decidedly white firelizard lay dazed. He couldn't act, he was shocked. Then finally he shoved some meat towards the little thing and it took a bite then chirped, "Egga!" Nevan was shocked. The only ones who seemed more shocked than he was his parents. Neritas promptly fainted.
