Stats
Name: Jack
Age: 38
Gender: Male

Description: Jack is a bit smaller than average for a man and has a complex about putting on weight. He has a tanned skin and dark wavy hair that he likes to dye on occasion. He has a small goatee, a large nose and bushy eyebrows. His brown eyes are warm and usually lure people into thinking he's harmless. His easy banter only add to this effect. Jack is an agile fighter though, preferring the sword but not above using what he finds to triumph.
Personality: Jack is a complicated man. He cares for his family but they sometimes drive him up the wall with their actions. The fact that they're all growing up and rebelling doesn't help. His wife is a frail woman so she's often sick. Now that the children are older that isn't so much of a problem anymore, but his mother seems to be ailing and his eldest daughter seems to be in a bad relationship... the problems just keep piling up. Fighting is his way to cope with his problems, letting all his frustrations go in battle.

Class: Fighter
Role/Position: Front of Main Party

Hatching
Long before the dragons began their reverberating hum, guests were ushered into the sands and candidates were rounded up. As guests were seated and candidates were located, the dragons began their hum that announced the imminent hatching was about to begin. Despite best effort, chaos ensued as people rushed to the sands to get the best seats, or find friends to continue bets with, and candidates quickly joined those waiting. Once (most) of the candidates were gathered they were led onto the sands. Formality was tossed for those that could not fit into an impression robe or who had shown up too late. As long as the attire was simple and not flashy, the official let it slide. 
The eggs were rocking, some tumbling down into other eggs causing loud cracks that made a few people wince with worry. The Geneticist were there, helping and righting potential disasters - there was plenty of room on the sands but as some candidates moved to eggs they had been drawn to during the few egg touching events - room became a luxury.
From the stands, dignitaries and representatives from all over the Nexus watched as the first eggs shattered - and, as if this was the cue - dozens of eggs rocked, cracked and the tiny hatchlings broke free in heaps of limbs, wings and tail. Watching each Impression was soon impossible but for those on the sands beside the rocking, shattering eggs, it was a very different experience...
Jack paced back and forth across the sands. His eyes darting around but it was impossible to get a view of what was going on. It was an unusual feeling to not have to be on guard to save his life but the tension of the hatching had him feeling jittery. His thoughts turned to home and he wondered if Lucia could cope with all the problems, whether the kids were keeping out of trouble and so on. For a moment the world around him vanished and he collided into an egg...
The egg had been lazily taking it's time in coming out and when Jack hit it, the inhabitant’s jolt caused the entire thing to shatter - all over Jack. A brightly coloured hatchling of topaz arched his wings, looking at them as if annoyed before turning to Jack. 
"I was trying to hide from the noise", it said, then tilted its head and a slow draconic grin spread on the hatchling’s muzzle as he recognized Jack from...before, when it was dark and... quiet... "I know you..."
Jack blinked, his worries momentarily forgotten as the sense of deja-vu took hold of his mind too. Though he knew logically he'd never seen nor heard this hatchling, he did feel familiar as if they'd known each other for years, or maybe even longer. Jack opened his mouth and uttered a name: 
"Aejeonth..." and the hatchling blinked as if confused as to why Jack sounded so shocked to know it given it was very natural thing to know the one you had been looking for since before the hatching.

Weyrling
"Come on Aejeonth." Jack called for the fifth time.
His topaz-coloured dragon yawned and got up. Strangely rearing a dragon felt much like rearing his children. And if Jack was right, Aejeonth was now a teenager with all the trouble that came with that rebellious age. It should have made him worry, it should have made him wary but all he felt was a longing to those 4 other rebels he had at home.
"I'll grow big enough to carry you home eventually." Aejeonth said as he stretched.
"I know. Let's get to training so we can egt a little closer to that."

Adult
Aejeonth was larger than ever but still smaller than some of the other dragons in reseidence. But Jack didn't mind. It wasn't all about size anyway. His dragon let out a chuckling rumble as the thought reached him.
"Sometimes size does matter. Just be glad I can carry you on my back... and probably that lady of yours too."
"Speaking off, isn't it about time we go see her?" Jack asked.
"I had to wait for approval." Aejeonth retorted sounding a bit hurt.
"I know. I'm just impatient."
In fact Jack's heartrate was soring and his shoulder-muscles were cramping from the tension he'd been under of late. Soon he'd see his family again. Soon he'd be home.
"I guess there's no time like the present." Aejeonth relented.
"Thank you."
