Character Name: Aslyn

Character Type: Candidate
Rank:
Political Alignment: Currently PWP, but as things crack down she’ll easily lean to the Resistance.
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Sexual Preference: Bisexual
Appearance:
Aslyn isn’t exactly a tall thing being only 5’6” tall, but she also doesn’t appear to be getting any taller so she thinks that might be where she is stopping not that she really minds too much. Her hair is a dark brown in colour and she tends to keep the mass to about the middle of her shoulder blades unless she hasn’t cut it recently then it may be at the bottom of them. Most times she allows the long mass free, but when she is working or training with her brothers she tends to keep it into a braid so it will stay out of her way. Her eyes are the colour shared by most of her family being a nice green, but hers is a slightly lighter shade then most of them. She holds a natural tan to her and while it isn’t much it is plenty to make sure that she could never be called pale by any means, in fact she rather likes that she is even a couple shades darker then her older brothers as she thinks her darker skin looks better with her hair.
Over all she could never be someone to be called fat, but neither could she be called skinny either falling somewhere in between the two making her really just average. Her main complaint with her looks would really be her hips as they are wider then is ‘normal’ even for a female and it makes her grumble to herself anytime she tries to find clothing. Her legs are probably the most well toned part of her due not only to her time spent walking around with the caravan, but also from her time spent on horse back as it takes quite a bit of muscle in one’s lower body to properly control some of the larger runners they would have at times. Her upper body is well toned as well, but nearly as much as her lower, but if you see her without her clothes it is clear that she has muscles though they are the lean kind more for speed then strength. If asked though she would probably tell you that one of the things she does like best about her looks are her breasts as she doesn’t have very large ones, while she does like being pretty she is glad they didn’t get very large as they really would have caused her problems as far as she was concerned. Despite her toning from her training with her older brothers there is one main thing that differs: where they have numerous scars from their tumbles with each other she has very few and they are smaller at that. Really about the only ‘big’ thing she had happen was the broken left arm which lucky for her healed well.
Her normal dress is long cloth pants that tie at both the top where they rest on her hips or waist depending on her plans for the day and ankles as they are rather loose otherwise, but that is her point to them. Her tops are also be made of cloth and tend to be cut short stopping maybe an inch above the top of her pants when they are resting on her hips, the sleeves are looser and they tie off as well. In truth her clothes could be compared to what some would think of as a gypsy on Terra.
Personality:
Having spent most of her young life following after her big brothers Aslyn really has taken after them more then she has either of her parents for the most part. From Amrod she has learned over the turns that there is a time to be serious when she needs to concentrate on things and take responsibility for the things she is doing. Still she prefers Amras and more often can be found being a rather light hearted and fun loving girl. In truth she really is friendly and does love people she is just very used to spending most of her time with her brothers, but she doesn’t like being alone so if she can’t be with them she really will take just about anyone that happens to be around. Being raised in the caravan where she always had /someone/ around she just came to expect it and now can’t do without it very easily. She has also found that it is groups of people that make her love of singing and dancing all the greater, it is something she loves to share and she is glad when others like it.
It is also mainly from Amras that she takes her nature when it comes to overall relationships. She has no qualms with flirting though she isn’t as overt as him and she does tend to avoid flirting on the first meeting as she likes to get to know people before even flirting. She isn’t one that is looking for anything long term when she does end up in the furs with someone, but she does want to know them and she really /is/ looking for someone who will keep her but she won’t take someone who wants to treat her wrong. No she isn’t some domineering thing who wants control, but she won’t stand for being treated as less then a man or anything of that sort either.
Her time with Amrod however has given her a dislike of people who try to boss her around just because they rank her. It is not that she doesn’t respect rank, she is more then willing to follow those in charge, it is more that there are too many people who try and boss others around /just/ because. As much as she loves both her brothers she does feel that there are plenty of times when Amrod does try to boss her or Amras around just because he does ‘rank’ them. She knows that really he thinks he is just protecting them, but she can’t help the thought sometimes or her dislike of it though she does try her best to humor Amrod as she does love him.
Birthplace: Unknown/somewhere on the road
Parents: Mother: Asraon – Father: Amrlyd
History:
Born third and last child to her parents in the early hours of the tenth day of the fifth month two turns into the start of the pass Aslyn is the only girl they will ever have as complications during her birth left her mother barren. Though neither her mother nor her father seemed to care too much, but they did tend to ‘pamper’ on her as their only daughter.
Even from an early age her father worked hard to make sure she and her older brothers knew their teaching ballads, knew to respect everyone no matter what they did, and just generally trying to make them into ‘good people’ in his eyes. When she was ten her father’s father joined the caravan and started helping to teach her and her brothers as well, especially about harpering.
It was also around then that much to her, at first, jealously her brothers started to learn how to fight and hunt while /she/ was stuck learning to cook, clean, sew and other ‘womanly’ things. She was most displeased, but she did love her mama and knew it was only ‘proper’ to respect her and her wishes so she played the good girl and learned what she was supposed to, but she never got too good at it. About the only thing she did enjoy was the learning to sing and dance, she does so love to use her voice to make others happy and while the ‘serious’ dances are ones she is quite as fond of she does like that too. What made her jealousy not last every long was that her big brothers started taking it upon themselves to teach her what they were learning much to her delight, but not to her mama’s.
When her brother Amrod was picked out by their father when she was twelve to be the next leader, she really couldn’t much care it wasn’t like it changed the fact that he was her brother or anything after all. She did get closer to Amras after that as Amrod grew somewhat distant from them as he became more serious, but she still loved him. As that shift came though and she spent more time with Amras she started going off and exploring more with just the two of them glad for the fact that she was given so much freedom so long as she kept Amras with her and did her part for the caravan. Besides it was ever so much easier to just stay with her brother then to try and make friends with some of the other girls in the caravan, they just were so much harder to get to know though that could be because all her life her older brothers had been her best friends so she just related better to boys then other girls.
Things continued on with everyone being trained in their various things by their various people for the next three turns and for Aslyn came to include: all things feminine (still much to her dislike), riding runners, reading, writing, some history, learning to properly play the pipes she had loved at a gather and convinced her parents to let her have, all things fighting from her brothers, and just anything else that anyone else in the caravan was willing to teach anyone. It wasn’t to be a lasting thing though as tragedy struck the caravan.
A storm came upon them unprepared one day and while they managed to find a cave close by that was big enough to hold everyone that didn’t mean things were ok. Aslyn and her brothers were on their runners using them to help try and get the various other runners and dray beasts herded towards the cave. They were doing a decent job of it too in fact, and had nearly gotten everything and everyone in when a loud crack from outside and the sound of a runner’s whiney was soon followed by a loud thump. Their father’s runner had spooked and he hadn’t managed to get it under control quickly enough causing him to be tossed, whether he would have been hurt or even killed never mattered as the ‘crack’ that had spooked the runner to start was a large tree that fell on the man.
It took quite a bit of effort from the twins, Aslyn, and several other men but they did manage to eventually move the tree. Sadly despite the hope they had had at finding him alive it wasn’t to be and that mean that their caravan leader was dead leaving Amrod in charge now. Aslyn was the one to inform her mother while her brothers set to work burying their father’s body. By the time the rain was over they had the whole dug suitably and a shaken and greatly saddened Aslyn stood with her brothers and mother morning over her lost father. The night was spent in that cave and Aslyn isn’t ashamed to admit she cried herself to sleep that night, but she was entirely grateful for the fact that after that night they headed for Fort Weyr, as it was rather close to the cave they had taken shelter in, and were planning a few days there to grieve.
19.12.20– She arrives at Fort Weyr with her family though to their surprise she and the twins are searched in short order. After some discussions all three decide to accept.
20.05.10– She turns 18 today Happy Birthingday to her, it is her first one in the Weyr.
20.06.23– The twins turn 20 today.
20.07.02– With the hatching of the PrizeQuesters her family gets their first riders when both Amras and Amrod impress hatchlings of their own become A’mor and A’sar.
21.04.27– She spends Tameketh’s flight with bluerider R’phon and ends up pregnant.
21.05.10– Today is not a Happy 19th Birthing Day. She is fat, moody, and doesn’t feel well at all she’ll be very glad when her baby decides to come.
21.06.23– The twins turn 21 today their first one as riders.
21.07.xx– With the clutch on the sands now and her mood swings getting worse she finally decides to go talk to R’phon and let him know he is gonna be a da as it really can’t be denied with how large her stomach is already getting.
21.12.13– When her beyond swollen belly starts causing her more pain than normal a trip to the healers lets Aslyn know it is time and she is well beyond nervous. She is beyond grateful when it doesn’t take long for her little one to arrive, but the pain continues past when it should. It doesn’t take long for the truth to be known: she was carrying twins. She is now the mother to two new little lives a little boy and a little girl.
22.05.10– She turns 20 today, her first birthing day as a mother.
22.06.23– A’mor and A’sar turn 22 today.
