Rank: Leader of the Moonstruck Island Fair
Name: Hroth
Color: Teal
Age: 29
Appearance:
Hroth is a large Teal, and so massive as to appear bulky. His hide bulges over thick muscles that have placed him at the head of the Moonstruck Island Fair, and kept him there for seven Turns. Massive talons can cause serious damage in a fight, and his current mate, midnight Relicath is still healing from his attentions when he Flew her.
Personality:
Don’t expect anything resembling sensitivity. He’s a brute, and he knows it, one hundred percent. The females of his fair are actually afraid to let him Fly them, though they know that they may not have a choice, if he joins their Flight. Forget the human’s petty ideas that the female determines the leader- he rules, and if he wants a new mate, by the wind that blossoms (Wind Blossom), he will have a new mate!
History:
Hroth was actually hatched at Marketa Weyr, emerging from the clutch of a Scarlet and a Fire. He easily dwarfed the next largest of his clutchmates, and even as a hatchling, he was brutal. He mutilated three candidates- killing one of them, and severely crippling the other two- before deciding that Weyr life was not for him. He fended for himself for a full Turn and a half before he became interested in Flying females. He joined the Flight of an Emerald, and won her by sheer force. She was of the Moonstruck Island Fair, so Hroth joined that Flight.
For Turns, he stayed on the outside of the Fair, barely tolerated by Silver-Bronze Corinth. He chased whatever female fit his fancy, age notwithstanding. So, many of the dragons in Moonstruck Island Fair are of his progeny, though only clutchmates share the same mother.
It was only a matter of time before the aggressive teal challenged Silver-Bronze Corinth, but it was a Flight that both males were determined to win that deposed the patriarch. Both males Chased Golden Mesatith, a lithe young female much coveted in the Fair. It turned into a fight, though, when Hroth turned on Corinth mid-Chase. Corinth was killed in the ensuing battle, and Hroth calimed Mesatith.
Since then, he’s changed mates as freely as a summer’s walk, as if the females mean little to him. Perhaps they don’t. Certainly he hasn’t the least shred of remorse for what happened to Scarlet Aroth, his mate of five Turns. During their last Flight, he shredded her wings so badly she couldn’t support herself in the air. After mating, she spiraled into what was guaranteed a gruesome crash but for her last-second dive between.
The tragedy, however, did not stop Hroth from trying for Midnight Relicath, Naturally he won. They are awaiting a clutch, and it will be interesting if Relicath will put up with his obnoxious behavior.
