Name: Jerrett (J'rett) Connalyn
Gender: Male, straight
Age: 16, born directly before the Kshau Protectorate moved from Pern to Alskyr, and has always lived on Alskyr
Origin: Eden's Gate / Kshau Protectorate
Rank: Brown caste (has adopted some Green just to anger any Dawnlight folks)
Family: Father J'or of Brown Wirdnith, mother Jan, sister (younger) Janet
Other Relations: has had a few scattered girlfriends, but few serious relationships because he has always concentrated on dragons
Height: 5'9"
Build: muscular and actually quite fit
Hair: brick red, thick and fluffy, kept short
Eyes: very green
Appearance: paler skin than one might expect, and it tends to burn and peel, rather than his sister's freckling; typically wears durable leather and heavy cloth in browns, yellows, and the occasional teal; his voice is still apt to break a little here and there, and will never be very deep
Genetic Oddities: he is very strongly attuned to the minds of animals and specifically draconic ones, from flitters and alisgryphs to full sized dragons of a variety of breeds (anything that the local Blackstone, Eden, or other Kshau riders have brought around, he is familiar with). He can sense full sized dragons at around 500 meters, easily able to communicate to them and overhear their complicated mental speech at about 50 meters; smaller animals he can locate and sense within 100 meters and if they have a more coherent mind he can chat or listen in to them at 20 meters; those with weaker minds he can actively control, though he knows better than to try this with anyone's dragon! All of this also allows him to understand anatomy and internal workings of dragons, which is why he's chosen his career path of dragon healing

Creation Date/Updated: 7.3.22

History and Events: born early in the Protectorate's history on Paniya, Jerrett was always intrigued by the horses and dogs, flitters and of course the dragons. While their father is a rider, he and his sister Janet had only considered how different that was when they would go down to Dawnlight Hold or other places. He always sensed there was something 'wrong', particularly from their mother Jan, when visiting that place.

But he was always at home up in the mountain where the Protectorate rested, that's for sure. All the dragons definitely welcomed them both, and their riders happily engaged them in conversation.

Though he has had to train for the physical routine of dragon healing, he had never been shy about it. He can tell when a dragon has worn their harness too tightly, and never hesitates to nudge their rider to loosen it and put proper padding under their harness. Unwilling to budge on some things, some riders might think him to be a bit intrusive or stubborn - but in the long run every time Jerrett has insisted that a dragon be grounded it's for compelling reasons.

Time went on, as he and Janet grew up there were fewer and fewer off-world assignments, though a good number of clutches apparently born in the mountain with Blackstone and Alabaster dragons spreading to the Nexus. His mother Jan had tried to explain some of that to her children, but since exploring the records rooms back 'before' on the Old World had led to ... well, their exile from Dawnlight, it was a bit of a sore spot for her. She let others do that lesson, and it was one of those others who finally looked at both kids and declared that they should stand 'somewhere right'.

That 'somewhere' turned out to be on the Old World, which was unsurprising. But it was a weyr that no one had heard much about, Shigan Weyr. There were good looking dragons there, strong ones, fighters - they still fought Thread. What would this pair of kids do, on dragons? Surely not fight Thread, not on Alskyr anyway. But a pair of healers on dragons, now that was a thought - able to move to where the injured were? Count both of them in!
