Description

Unfortunately for him, there's no hope left of gaining any remarkable height. He's shorter than the average male; his build is lean and athletic, wiry rather than bulky. His hair is a wild scruff of redness, coppery and bright. It's also unruly, much to his perpetual chagrin. His blue eyes are naturally narrowed, suspicious of the world, and set in a youthful, oval face that will only grow harder over time. There's a ghostly dusting of facial hair from time to time, fine and red, that he does his best to keep shorn. His skin is relatively pale and liberally freckled; not even his chin could serve as a redeeming quality, not with that dent in it. His hands are callused and his fingernails kept short - and purposefully so. A denizen of the jungles, he always carries an air of wildness to him, coupled with a feral species of dexterity and suspicion that renders him elusive.


History

What he knows is: riders steal wildlings and force them on dragons. That's why he has no father. His mother struggled to keep things together and suffered greatly in the turns after the love of her life had abandoned her and their children.

All he knows is the story his mother told of it all (which is told in greater detail on Vasilissa's page).

And then his sister left.

While she sent him letters from time to time, he fought the urge to burn them, unread. He wanted to. Truly. But he always came back around and read them, time after time after time.

He was mad at her.

Furious, really.

She had left him to help care for their younger (half!)-siblings; she had left him so she could try to find, what? A father that didn't want them enough to stick around? Worse, he was helping to do women's work and that was not a thing that he could abide by. It was a slap in the face to the youth and it aggravated him.

It was only when she made mention of meeting the two golden dragons at the Weyr - and not losing any limbs in the process - that he finally had enough. He set out through the jungle, not needing to track her; no, he knew where the Weyr was.

He would find her soon enough.

And when he did? He found a whole lot more. He learned that Weyrlife wasn't a complete nightmare - but he had no interest in it. He tried Standing, but it didn't pan out. He found a girlfriend for a while, but that fell apart.

And, now, he's back in the jungles, living his life as he sees fit. It's the only thing he's known and the only thing he's good at, so far as he's concerned - and there's nothing wrong with that.

He made a return to the Weyr in time to watch his sister Impress gold. In the time since, he visited more and more frequently, until he was unofficially ousted from the Orokee and permanently moved to the Weyr. His intentions were to join the guards, but Vuzjavalasith had other ideas in mind.

Hell’s Fugitive Stray Bronze Vuzjavalasith

The darkest luster of congealed bronze creates tenebrous tectonic conduits against the molten russet runnels of tormented stone. He is a hellishly handsome beast, hewn from the primal surges of brimstone burned mountains nightmarishly cursed with pyroclastic sigils, graduating from sullen slag through rusted rage and finally culminating in sulphuric encrustation that threatens to overpower his stubby tail and the obsidian shards of his talons. The heavy heaving majesty of his bullish form is curiously weighted as if the unholy secrets of the cavernous deeps are attempting to escape volcanic damnation beneath the sin-bright cinders of his cataclysmic wings. Fire and ash, pain and power continue to writhe and write their magniloquent whispers upon proud thrust of his crag-like chin and around the ornery hollows of his canny ever-burning eyes before the jutting spires of twisted headknobs and jagged ridges extinguish even the faintest glimmer of light and strife.

Firelizards

Turned-About Bronze Annoyance

This bronze firelizard might be small, but he is perfectly proportional, from the tip of his wedge-shaped snout to the tips of his forked tail. His hide is a rich, shadowy bronze, skewed purple in some places - or gold-bright in others, highlighting his well-formed musculature. Unfortunately, despite his striking appearance and exceptional attributes, something seems a little off about him; it might just be the whirl of his eyes or his tendency to stumble or fumble on foot or on the wing, but the bronze just ain't right.
