NAME: Mason Nighith
AGE: 21
ORIGIN: Berk
OCCUPATION: Mason is apprenticed by his father as a carpenter and trained to be a dragon rider, but Mason wants to create a police force for Berk to keep crime down and protect the island from pirates and other criminals.
GENDER & SEXUALITY: Straight male
LIKES: Dragons, books and learning new things, Flying, mutton gravy, a nice pair of soft leather boots, how fighting at a distance is cleaner and less deadly, weapons, namely his bow, fire, how it effects people and how important it is, teamwork, travel, his family, and lastly, girls! –waggles eyebrows-
DISLIKES: Prejudice, cake, staying up too late/not getting enough sleep/being tired, contests of weight, hand to hand combat, being too hot/summer, people who think that women and men are not equals, harming animals, injustice, people harming those weaker than they are, and not a big fan or dark deep water.
STRENGTHS: Diplomatic, empathetic, smart, quick to learn, brave.
WEAKNESSES: Will razz people in a debate just for fun, does not like doing the dirty work, would prefer to be in charge, so has a little bit of a tough time dealing with authority, can be blind to the feelings of others if it’s not very obvious or if they’ve gotten themselves into that situation. He's a bit sensitive about people calling out the size of his nose.
FEARS: Deep water, drowning, getting eaten by something in deep water, deep dark water! Also, being alone, poisonous animals and dragons, especially ones with stingers, being stranded with no provisions, fighting alone.
AMBITIONS: He wants to enforce law and peace within his village with an organized police force. He wants to be the head of this police force. He also would like to spread this idea among other villages and connect forces to fight crime. He believes this will stop pirating and other illegal actions that harm his village and the ones near him. He has a teeny bit of a desire to be known as the Viking that created peace throughout the known world.
SECRETS: He’s is terrified of dark, deep water and will never tell a soul but his mother. He could never reveal this to his father. He loves his mother more than his father because his father didn’t want any more kids and kept him an only child. He wishes more than anything that he had a brother or sister. He wants to become famous.
OVERALL PERSONALITY: Mason is a true debater. He loves the mental exercise of a good argument and can talk his way out of almost everything. He rarely allows his temper to be involved with this process, however, and keeps his cool in all sorts of situations.
His primary interest in life is understanding the world that he lives in. He is constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations he is presented in his life. Using his intuition to process this information, he is usually extremely quick and accurate in his ability to size up a situation.
He adapts very well to almost any situations and thinks quickly on his feet, flipping from one subject to the next with great ease. He is an upbeat visionary who values knowledge, experience, and creativity.
He believes in justice and equality, hard work and accomplishment. He can see through the eyes of others and defend them from their point of view. He is loving and romantic. He is a bit proud and seems to know that he is good with words and is pretty smart.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Tall and lanky, Mason has lithe muscles. His hair is dark and his eyes are hazel. He is handsome, but his nose is a bit on the large side. He has a winning smile that makes up for it though. His hair is generally unruly as it is wavy and he doesn’t care to work with it much. He prefers it not cut too short though.
He likes to wear leather and neutral colors.
PLAYBY: None
HISTORY: Mason has a pretty standard and normal upbringing after being born in Berk. His father just wanted a son, and so, after he was born, told his wife that he wanted no more children. His father was not a very patient man, but he loved his family. Mason’s upbringing was strict but did not lack affection. His father was a hardworking man and thought everyone ought to earn their way in life with no handouts.
Mason’s mother was more gentle and understanding. She would give Mason a break when his father had worked him hard that day without his father knowing. She also desperately wanted more children, which was usually a big fight between Mason’s parents. Mason also wanted a brother or sister and has always wished it had come to be.
As soon as he saw a dragon, Mason wanted one. He loved to see the riders soar and do tricks and went to the games every year. He trained hard, but never quite clicked with his own dragon.
He finally befriended a dragon from the academy, bred by a Nadder breeder when Mason was 16 years old. The Nadder was smaller so no one really wanted him. Being a smaller boy himself, Mason understood the feeling. Mason befriended him quickly, easily able to look past his small size. He could see that this Nadder was special and, despite being the runt, had intelligence and a drive about him that would make his rider proud.
The two have been together ever since, training hard and making the other better for it.
FAMILY: Father: Sven Nighith Mother: Lysa Nighith
WEAPON OF CHOICE: Nothing special, a bow and arrow.
FIGHTING STYLE: He prefers to shoot people with his bow. He can fight, in a pinch but he isn’t terribly skilled at hand to hand combat. He can just hold his own. He's definitely a defensive fighter, especially at close range, but can hold off an attacker decently with evasive maneuvers.
DRAGON (optional):
NAME: Sindri Sin-Dree
Means either "small, trivial" or else "sparkling" in Old Norse. In Norse legend this was the name of a dwarf who, with his brother Brokk, made many magical items for the gods.
GENDER: Male
TYPE: Deadly Nadder
APPEARANCE: Dark purple and teal in color, Sindri is a particularly small Nadder, about 25 or 30 percent smaller than the average Nadder. He has nothing that stands out in appearance from other Nadders than his smaller size. he was born smallest and therefore named Sindri.
PERSONALITY: Sindri is competitive and proud. He strives to be the best and hates any sort of failure, sometimes urging his trainer to do an exercise just one more time to get it right. His desire to be the best might be a form of short man’s syndrome.
He is bright and clever, unfortunately making him very aware of the fact that he is not as large as other male Nadders and that his name is poking fun at it.
A hard worker, it takes a lot to be able to turn Sindri off to relax and have fun. He may just take himself a bit too seriously and tends to be no nonsense.
When he is able to chill out, he sets a certain schedule, allowing only a sunset or two before getting back to work. Lazy days make him feel as if he’s missing something or should be doing something productive.
Playfulness is not completely out of his vocabulary, however, as he can be goaded into a bit of fun with the other dragons if they put some effort into including him or he’s feeling as if he’s done a good day’s work and has a right to relax or every goal has been accomplished for that day. Mason is working with him to help him be able to separate work and play and make time for both.
Fortunately, he's not a complete sourpuss, but it does take an effort to get him out of working/serious mode.
STRENGTHS: Hard working, perfectionist, smart. He is smaller than most male Nadders, which makes him faster and more agile.
He strives to be the best and is particular and observant. Extremely loyal, any person or dragon in his circle is protected with Sindri’s life.
WEAKNESSES: Perfectionist might be good in some instances, but he also expects a lot from his rider, who is a tad more laid back than he is. He has anxiety if training moves are not done just so. When it is time to go home or rest, Mason sometimes gets an attitude from Sindri.
He is smaller than most male Nadders, which makes him physically weaker and less able to fight another Nadder or many dragons one on one.
He judges other dragons a bit. Those who are less skilled and less serious about training may get his scrutiny.
