Persona Profile: N'amsa

Writer: Kane

Name: N'amsa
Age: 12
Birthday: m1 d28
Birthplace: Dragonsfall Weyr
Rank: Junior Weyrling
Location: Dragonsfall Weyr

Physical Description of Persona:
N'amsa is all elbows, knees, and appetite.

He’s easily marked as S’kawa’s son with dark skin and curly black hair, though more often than not he’ll shave a patch to prove just how sharp his knives are. He’s even more easily marked by the missing tooth now a permanent absence in his often grinning face.

He is skinny in the way of boys who burn through food faster than the kitchens can serve it, perpetually starving. His limbs have lengthened ahead of his coordination. He trips over thresholds, walks into doorframes, and misjudges distances, and then immediately scrambles back upright as though it never happened.

Despite the clumsiness, his hands are quick. Marks dance over his knuckles without thought. Knives roll across his fingers in a blur. He is nimble and dextrous when it matters, and moves with the alertness of a kid that grew up dodging bigger brothers and angry adults. He has at least three knives on him at any given time. Nobody has successfully convinced him this is excessive.

Emotional Description of Persona:
N'amsa is a feral weyrbrat in the proudest sense of the term. He is loud, shameless, endlessly hungry, and convinced life exists primarily for entertainment. Rules are mere suggestions. Authority is a challenge. Consequences are a future problem and have little impact on his current choices and decisions. He thrives on attention and will escalate a stunt until he gets it. He does the bare minimum required to avoid punishment and considers this a successful strategy.

He has the self-confidence of someone who’s never had to face harsh consequences, and never had a serious injury beyond a broken wrist and a somewhat larger than usual collection of scars and scrapes.

Underneath the chaos, he is sharp. He notices everything. He remembers insults. He remembers kindness more quietly.

History of Persona:
S’kawa allows his children a long leash while they are young and N'amsa, born Naskamek, took full advantage of this policy. He ran wild, a feral weyrbrat in every sense.

Beyond making it his life’s mission to annoy his eldest brother in every possible way, Naskamek gained a reputation for repeatedly trying to slip onto the Sands while underage, with comically little success. Being hauled off by the ear in a grip tighter than a vice or chased out by the resident queen never discouraged him. His determination to Impress was fueled largely by the prospect of never needing to settle into a craft. Both his brothers had been apprenticed promptly after their twelfth birthdays and the rigid structure of an apprenticeship filled him with dread.

The possibility that he might not Impress never once occurred to him. Nor, for that matter, did the inconvenient truth that life as a weyrling would demand just as much discipline, if not more.

Having only _just_ turned twelve a day before the Hatching that took place on the first day of the second month in Turn 13, he gleefully joined his brothers and other Candidates on the Sands and sure enough, the most perfect giant of a brown hatchling decided he was perfect.

Impressing Vhenasith has Naskamek, now N'amsa, positively tilted. The fact that the brown is significantly bigger than his brother’s bronze is something N’amsa will never stop gloating about.

He will loudly remind S’neik that Vhenasith is bigger than Bhalerith. He will measure wingspans. He will compare claws, teeth, the width of the third neck ridge, the angle of the tail fork. He will invent new units of measurement just to win arguments. He will insist size proves superiority in all matters and that ultimately Vhenasith is clearly better in countless ways.

Description of Dragon:
Vhenasith is positively enormous. One of the largest browns hatched in living memory, his sheer bulk and broad wingspan easily eclipses small bronzes at a comparable age. His hide is a cheerfully rich mahogany, warm and polished like well-oiled wood, with little variation across his massive frame save for a bold, darker splash across his eyes that forms a striking mask and ripples of irregular deeper hues along his ridges and wing sails.

Vhenasith embodies growth and transformation, a dragon very much in the act of becoming something greater. Like the blank first page of an epic book, he approaches the world with boundless curiosity and the eager certainty that his destiny will be extraordinary, especially if N’amsa has anything to say about it. Bold, adventurous, and endlessly willing, he is the perfect partner in crime, always ready to leap headfirst into N’amsa’s dares, schemes, and escapades with enthusiastic confidence.
