Description

The sun and sea have weathered Zahtiyar's skin beyond its eighteen years: dark brown and dry, rough and reddened, and seemingly stretched too tight over his facial structure. His hair is a dark chestnut color and wind-tossed, his brown eyes deep-set, and there is a delightful crook - and a more recent bruise - to the bridge of his nose. He has a wide mouth and a smile that's a bit too toothy, which ends up softening out his clefted chin and sharp jawline. And lastly, he sports a time-lightened scar that curves just to the side and beneath the left side of his mouth, right where one might expect a dimple to hide.

This is a strapping, seafaring youth, both broad and tall in stature. He wears clothing that is both practical and suits the climate, whether it’s a slicker for on board a vessel, a sweater in the cold, or as of recently, linen-like pieces at skin-exposing lengths. Boots always accompany whatever ensemble he wears, always worn and on the verge of falling apart.

History

Where does a curious kid like Zahtiyar come from? He grew up in a rowdy family out of Half-Circle Sea Hold, to a seacrafting father and a vintner mother. Some might say the pairing of sea and booze is an awful combination, and yet others might say it's the perfect combination, but their union did produce three sons. Zahtiyar is the youngest of those three, and acts as one would expect the youngest child to act.. willfully, selfishly, and for the fun-of-the-moment, aka impulsively. Turns out on the sea have given him some control to his actions and a grudging respect for authority, but it hasn't managed to curb his wild streak yet.

It's his sixth year as an apprentice – a senior apprentice now – and he's been taking his latest tour on board the Wailing Wherry, under Captain Jaijen. They were on their routine voyage up the coastline when they encountered a storm, and Zahti suffered an 'accident' in the form a loosened cargo container, subsequently breaking his arm. An injured seaman is about as useful as a dragon on a ship, so they dropped him off at the nearest port - Southern Weyr's - with instruction to sit tight until the healers gave him clearance and another ship came around.
