Introductions / Re: Take 3.0 Maniacal Laughter...
Last post by Sia - August 02, 2026, 07:34:45 PMHey! Welcome back. 
For Transfering: I believe in canon it's supposed to be pretty rare, but at Triad it's a little more normalized. Partially it's due to a lot of folks writing a new character elsewhere and transferring in, which is a fine way to go! Lots of dragonriders had to transfer North when the Northern Weyrs reopened some 14ish turns ago, and even as recently as 4-5 turns ago when River Bluff fell and Barrier Lake Weyr opened. We have a higher number of PC retired/injured riders at DCW, but we haven't really implied that injured dragonriders get sent anywhere for the most part. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen to some folks.
Would you be amenable to a different type of injury that results in the bronzerider not having enough stamina to fly a full Fall? I'm just casually looking online (WebMD, etc), and while they say that folks can live normal lives with one lung, many struggle with exercise and above average active lifestyles. Threadfall is incredibly physically demanding, and I'm not sure if the character would feasibly be able to even fly a half fall. Our technology level is roughly somewhere in the 1800s at the highest, so mortality would also be an issue at the time of injury. Someone getting a full-body threadscore and living would be sick as heck
I trust Devin (as the L1 at DCW) and your mentor to steer you in the right direction when the time comes! I've got a handful of folks at all three locations, so hit me up if there's anything you'd like to write.

They will come in time, or I will adapt as I go.
currently in the process of adapting to the fact that a bronzerider is an L4 ranker and I can't so that right off the bat, so trying to shuffle my semi canon life over here continues as I will have to change the dynamic between my riders somewhat.

OH MY GOWD
there are not words for how excited I am. I have not RPed Pern since late 09 and the fall of invisionfree and all the semi-canon sites I used to be in/running. I have Mary-Sued the crap out of many a situation and lets not even talk about the drama. Coming back to triad is me trying to find the joy in Pern again (I last tried, I 09 and apparently fell off the planet); this time my riders in my head are talking up a storm. So much so I have already started a post for them at the tune of 2000 words if anyone wants a sneaky peak.
There are details I am working on hashing out with both my new Weyrleader and the Council coming from semi canon changes MUCH
Little question for everyone here, how often to riders move from Weyr to Weyr. If I move my bluerider this will be his like... 4th Weyr change. Far island > DFW > WIW (which I assume is like Ista in that all the injured retirees go there for rehab > DCW
Reasons behind this I am trying to bring my bronzerider (Az'uka, my bluerider's best friend) and I am trying to Canonize the injury that would have tossed Tay'ds from Weyr to Weyr - Az just followed. Other issues here being that in semi-canon Pern Tay is technically missing a lung (Bad bad scoring). I have done some reading on such a wound and it is possible to live a normal life, BUT with less stamina. Meaning if he was cleared to fly fall it would be lower altitudes and mostly likely in shifts like blue and green riders (something I haven't done in yrs playing semi-canon... everyone there flies the whole fall and barely lives because of every writer wanting to injure someone; only to be magically better next Fall because Mary-sue is a plague). These are all things I would have to hash out with my Weyrleader and the council. Also things I am somewhat flexible on. I mean I might change it to just bad chest scouring if it means Tay might end up wing leading again, I dunno, depends what my Weyrleader needs and is willing to put up with.
*Puts Az in a box* You we are not talking about, while your existence doesn't break cannon you too often see it as a challenge and you have given every leader who has ever dealt with you a headache.
But happy for thoughts and inputs.
Especially on how to make these two riders just appear out of nowhere since I am basically having to account for 9ish turns of him being 'absent' or EOP or just in the background. its always hard to try and work out what other players are willing to 'accept' as being plausible. Sure a bluerider being obscure for 9 turns works... but an injured ass bronzerider that appeared out of nowhere? maybe not so much.
AGH Just excited!!!
