Candidate Exchange Program April 2022
The Erikson (also spelled Ericson in my own records in their original setting...) family is large. Very large. Super mcLargeHuge. That's mainly by virtue of them having a strong genetic predisposition to both siring and bearing twins. Both E'rikk (nee Eadrikk) of Brown Entlath and Ilion of Gold Pestath were also of larger families and are both twins. This has produced a bit of a dilemma when the current generation - bonded to dragons all of them - began allowing their dragons, or their whim, to decide who they bedded...
When literally every birth was multiple, it became clear that the women in the family weren't going to be able to keep up with their own broods. They're dragon riders, and even though life in the Protectorate is reasonably sedate and they can continue with crafting or education, doing it all has never been a thing in any Weyr. Fostering? Well, more like 'farming out'. The Erikson parents (and grandparents) keep up with their children even if some of them are sent to live with those extended cousins.
Over time, about 15 years in fact, there are a dozen or more of these grandkids. Some of them have expressed the desire to remain either in Dawnlight or at Blackstone, or even Eden's Gate with the misfits. But others... Would do very well out and about in other locales.
Because reasons, these twins are strongly gifted with empathic or even telepathic abilities with their blood kin. Some much more than others, because of their own varied parentage. While many fraternal twins have empathy, identical twins will always be able to locate each other and communicate, even if they're across dimension barriers. For that reason, fraternal twins will go 'together', and identical ones will be split up so they can cover much more of the Nexus consciously. While some of those identical twins will remain with their family here on the Protectorate, a few might find their way to different agencies and worlds.
As a background of info: the girls are (as of April 2022) still not technically impressed to anything but they will pair up at the Victory Dance. All parents are 100% dragonriders, and as such they'd be expected to have learned about riding, dragon anatomy, star charts, riding gear, and the like. They might have added skill sets from their other parent, but all of them are Weyr-born and raised. They will do best in 'traditional' 'old world' style locations such as those found on Pern, Pern-adjacent, and Alskyr, but also other spots that don't concentrate too heavily on magic or weirdness. They are kinda weird, but that's because they are filtered through the post-apocalyptic story Dawnlight Chronicles of mine, so their duties on Pern / Alskyr were retrofit to suit the semi-fantasy style.
Applies to all: one set of grandparents is E'rikk and Ilion (mentioned only, on Ep'son's page, and renamed from something else on Tarrilon's). Other parents will be listed, some of them are up, not all of them are consistent, some do have family trees, feel free to read the garbage from the early 00s I wrote about these guys for references. Notably they do all in fact have mohawks, because their family DNA is just that strong, and equally of note any of them that are 'blackbottom' hair in coloration will directly inherit their parents' colors - even if Blackbottomhood is more of a belief system and a sticky black goo hair-dye that went on their parents... it inherits to their kids, as long as those kids are 'cool'. The goo knows. This is indicated by /b in their description.
Because their origin is the Dawnlight subsector of the Kshau Protectorate, their clothing does designate a strong level of social and financial ranking, and follows the 'SPGB' pattern - silver, purple, green, brown, ranked in that order from highest to lowest. (See the background? Those are the colors.) Some amount of crossover or 'mix and matching' does occur, which makes the administrators twitch. Almost all of the Eriksons however enjoy making those same people nervous. When they get where they're going, these kids do not have to remain with that color scheme if they don't care for it, and would likely delight in showing up wearing who-knows-what combination for a Dawnlight gather. However, they are taught this rank and file from youth, even in the Weyr. It's almost -but not exactly- as important as knowing the ranks of dragons from the Old World, and to most Dawnlight and Blackstone inhabitants, at least as recognizable as those dragon colors.
When these are adopted by other Nexus agencies they'll be linked to whatever url y'like, I'm keeping this info here permanently for my own records, since they're families I made! Click and take their images or ask on the discord for a larger one if you want to resize. Info on any dollmakers is provided, please link to them where they're available (not all might be).
