Farain

Stats:
Name: Farain
Age: 19
Gender: male
Description: Farain is tall and lanky, with a bodybuild that just can't seem to put on muscle. He has an olive-colured skin and black hair. His dark eyes tend to scrutinise the world outside, because Farain is used to being suspicious of others. Growing up with a sister who got into more trouble than a faerie drak in a sweetshop would do that to anyone. Maybe as a reaction, Farain is the absolute contrast of her. He's steady, dependable and never violates the rules. And he is still part of the travelling troupe, much to his sister's dismay. Farain can't help but feel a little bit smug because of this, although he'll never show it to her face.
Family: Farain and his sister Zion (f, 16) are related to just about everyone in the main family because their father was their father or grandfather's youngest brother. Here's a quick list of bloodrelatives: Mirrim (f, 31), Laurence (m, 28), Nioi (f, 24), Rachelle (f, 21), Werner (m, 20), Menos (m, 15) and Ondine (f, 4). And this is without mentioning the inlaws ;)
Instrument: Drums.
Pets: none
Drak: Silt Ouruta (m) from Castle DesCas

Hatching:
The aspirants filed into the Deep Cavern, followed by spectators, staff and knights looking for squires. There were three aspirants, two human men and one male drak. The latter was Fire Zolpardu from Dun Keiba who was looking for a new partner. One of the humans was Farain, a young bard from Acicade Castle who'd visitied DesCas before as part of a travelling caravan of musicians. The youngest was Emmer, an earnest, freckled farmhand from the vicinity of Perigee with two fairydraks in tow. The two diminutive reptilians chittered and buzzed around the entire Deep Cavern and one nearly collided with the door when Jasperu pushed it open with a flourish.
Three draklings followed out behind her. There was a teal water female, a beige-yellow earth variant and a dark brown mud. Like their parents, these draklings sported a lot of fur and despite a good cleaning, already sand clung to their manes.
Jasperu waited for her babies to take up their places, touched up all of them before she nodded and all three sounded off:
"Water Ataru!" one of them said with dignity.
"Silt Ouruta." the second stated with poise.
"Mud Wieruta." the third concluded with determination.
A silence fell over the spectators, waiting to see what would happen next. All three hatchlings seemed to wait for one of the others to move first. In the end it was Zolpardu who made the first move. He walked in front of Ataru and asked for a partnership which she accepted.
Now that the first pairing had taken place, the other two draklings moved from their spot and walked toward the human they liked the best.
For Ouruta this was Farain, who had to be a voice of reason in a place with too little of common sense. But the Silt drakling enjoyed adapting to new environments and he wanted to see more of the world.
"I want to travel with you." he told Farain.
"I'd be glad to have you."

Knighthood:
Returning to Acicade, Farain wondered briefly if it was still home. Maybe it was more like a base. Because he also felt at home at DesCas, he felt at home on the road. Maybe the entire world was his home. It was a funny thought but seeing as he was now paired to a drak, the entirety of Icarus was quite literally in his grasp. But first things first, he needed to check in with his aunt Mirrim at the Sonata Armada as he'd been instructed to do by return message when he'd rapported his pairing.
"Going in for landing." Ouruta warned.
The drak, now fully grown, set in a gradual descent that led them to the ground without much issues. Others might do this faster but Farain and Ouruta followed the rules. That is not to say that they could not do it faster, but that was reserved for emergencies. Farain waited for Ouruta to settle before he unhooked his harness and jumped down. Only seconds later, he was being hugged by his aunt and he could hear the voices of the rest of his family in the background.
"I'm home." he said.
He could think a lot of things, but these people were his home and they would be wherever they were.
