**Trigger Warning!: Sexual Assault is mentioned in this profile**![]() "A lesson? Don't be like me. And stay away from people like that." Name| Al'x (Pre-Impression: Alex) Age| 23 Turns Gender| Male Orientation| Bisexual Rank(s)| Wingrider in Dark Blaze Wing Weyrmate| Wingrider Lydri, rider of Green Siryenth, rider Lydri Romantic Interests| n/a Appearance| Al'x is quite short for a Pernese male, standing only around 5'5 with a rather thin, scrawny build for a dragonrider. His hair is a muddy Nabolese brown, cut rather bowl like and his eyes are the same muddy, common brown. He has a very youthful appearance and that, combined with his height, makes him seem much younger than his 23 Turns. Though it has softened over the Turns, Al'x still retains a Nabolese accent. Personality| Above all else, Al'x has a good heart. He's a good kid. And that heart has survived the harshness of reality and Turns of abuse. He genuinely, eagerly wants to please others and will put everyone elses' needs above his own without a second thought. And he gets taken advantage of constantly because of it. Al'x is incredibly intelligent, hard working, and community driven. He holds some bitterness within himself from the negative in his life, though he is far too forgiving to hold onto the hurt for long. Recently, he has been growing a back bone and is learning to say "no". History| Al'x (then Alex) was born and raised among a group of farmer and herding families on the fields of Nabol with his parents (Kaxon and Aleranu) and his three sisters (Kaxale, Aleka, and Ranka). A runty kid, he was a prime target of being picked on by other kids. Especially if any of his sisters tried to stand up for him. At a sister's suggestion, he tried to make friends with the bullies and, to a degree, it did work. Though they weren't friends. They were never friends. Alex was their errand boy and target if they didn't have anyone else to poke fun at. Still, it did decrease the bullying on himself. Alex never liked Mytho (M'tho). The blond haired noble ordered everyone around and took too much joy in hurting others. Mytho seemed to also get a kick out of twisting the other kids around him. He couldn't get Alex to break or do cruel things and this irritated him. So he instead used the young boy as a tool to corrupt the other kids, hoping to break him in the process. Alex would protest when another frequent victim, Livilan, would be shut into chests to trigger her claustrophobia. Mytho twisted it to be that, clearly, Alex only cared because he had a crush on the pitiful girl (to this day, Al'x does not know his actual feelings on the matter). When Vinethz (V'thz), Livilan's brother, started showing an obvious crush on Mytho, the fostered noble managed to convince him that he actually liked Alex. And that cruelty and domineering behavior was the only way to indulge in any intimacy. Anything else was feminine and wrong. This abusive, predatory relationship between Al'x and V'thz would continue off and on for many Turns. Things got easier for Alex when Vinethz was Searched. He was able to put the abuses behind him. However, he hurt for Livilan as he watched the rapidly increasing cruelty towards her. Mytho boasting of what he did to the girl angered Alex but he was powerless to do anything. What could a small herder boy say that would outweigh the words of a foster son of the Lord of the entire Hold? It was not at all surprising to him when the girl disappeared. 15 Turns now, he did not blame her in the least for wanting to leave it all. He hoped that she did get away for good this time and found a new life, and was happy for her for escaping. He knew that it would never be him. He tried to be a voice of doubt about going after her. And he didn't really understand why Mytho was so insistent on getting her back. But Alex had never understood much of anything about the blonde or his motives. Riding a'dragonback was amazing. Simply amazing. It just felt right. How Mytho convinced his foster mother to convince a brownrider to give all five of them a lift to a Weyr outside of High Reaches's influence, Alex was not sure at all. And hoped the information Mytho had was wrong. He wasn't wrong. And Alex's heart hurt. It was worse than watching an already beaten girl receive more of the same. It was seeing a spark in her he'd never seen before and fearing that that new found happiness was going to be torn away from her. Then a green dragon arrived. And Vinethz slid off it. And Alex realized that coming to this Weyr was perhaps the worst decision he'd ever agreed to. The Weyr wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. Mytho (now M'tho) was preoccupied by the new environment. Apparently their lifetime of suffering under the new bluerider was merely a means to alleviate his boredom. Vinethz (now V'thz) Impressing took away the worst part of Alex's life, at least for a time. It was just him and the other three boys, working as herders in a new environment. Same life, different location. Alex was content with that. More than content, since he had managed to be in the right places at the right times to Impress several pets along the way. That's not to say that V'thz left his life completely during the greenrider's Weyrlinghood. He seemed to miss the younger boy's company much more than any sort of "company". Alex didn't know how to handle it. A part of him wondered if things would have been different if Mytho had never arrived in Nabol. But it could not undo the Turns of abuse. And V'thz was too mercurial. He clearly didn't know what he wanted and older behaviors were easier to fall back onto than try and figure out if and how they were wrong. When V'thz graduated to being a full rider, the abuse began again. But it wasn't very convenient to the greenrider to have Alex out being a herder. Alex was approached one day by the three dragonriders he'd grown up with. V'thz looked excited, M'tho looked bored, and Livilan just looked incredibly uncomfortable. M'tho informed him that they'd come to a decision to see if he couldn't Impress. After all, Livilan managed to do it, how hard could it seriously be to qualify as a Candidate? Alex wanted to know why they even cared and M'tho simply shrugged and told him that it was more convenient to have an errand boy closer at hand. A dragon would just be an added bonus. But really? Asking why? Did Alex really want to spend the rest of his life as some know nothing herder with no future? Shells, talk about ungrateful. And after everything M'tho had done for this kid? Clearly manners were never going to come to the poorer classes of Pern. Alex agreed to the opportunity. Temenarth showed no interest in doing any work, so they had the boy dragged over to the Candidate Barracks. Livilan awkwardly explained to A'ron what was going on and he decided to give it a go and had Alex brought before a blue known for finding Candidates and the dragon found him suitable. And so Alex found himself suddenly a Candidate. And suddenly much closer to his abusers. Alex successfully Impressed his blue Ryogath during the next Hatching and became Al'x. Weyrlinghood was a blessing because of its strict rules. Al'x excelled at most aspects of being a dragonrider, even with his blue's shortcomings in direction sense (learning how to between nearly got them killed far, far too many times). Once graduated, however, life fell back to being used. M'tho, who had reestablished his relationship with his family in Liosa, used Al'x as an errand boy for both himself and his family's needs. Al'x would also take on any patrols from others who didn't want them. Or watch posts. V'thz's abuses also started up again, though there was certainly a change in the nature of the relationship and the abuses became less frequent. V'thz shrugged it off as Al'x growing up (thinking his like of the bluerider was only because he was so youthful looking. Because M'tho warps and ruins lives). Al'x, by this point, was fairly numb to it all and just concentrated on carrying on helping the Weyr and, thus, Pern. More recently, even with the two former friends fighting over using him as a servant, Al'x has been finding his own voice. Ryogath has helped greatly in this endeavor. As has finding new friends. He's learning to turn others down and how to say "no". He's learning to put himself first for once. The kid is going to be alright. Dragon| Blue Ryogath Dragon's Genetic Coding| XRY CCBbSs Dragon's Clutch| Vandrath 3 Dragon's Description| Ryogath is a dragon with the directional abilities of wher at noon. But, like his rider, Ryogath has a good heart in place and tries his best. His directional abilities are not as bad as they were during weyrlinghood, but he still requires much concentration or guidance to properly between. Ryogath is 26 meters (85 feet) long and a dark cerulean color.
