Bronze Marath
Marath is a big boy— still well within average for his color, but nevertheless on the large end of the spectrum. He's also built like a linebacker: solid and heavy. If he set himself, only the queens themselves would be able to make him move, and even then they'd be using words. He's a very light color, for a bronze- many mistake him for a brown. His base is a deeper, beige-toned bronze, and creamy bronze-toned markings curl around that base, mostly on his underbelly. They switch to the top of his neck when they reach his upper body, dripping down the sides of his neck twice as they climb to his head. On his head, only his headknobs and the tip of his muzzle are marked in the creamy shade.

Spilled Salt Egg
The Spilled Salt Egg is one of the biggest eggs in the clutch. It is a dark metalic grey in color, dappled with light greys and whites. The Dragonet inside of it seems quite curious about what goes on around it. But once it knows it sneers and seems to delight in picking out the bad aspects of it all.
Personality
Strong and Noble. That's how Marath likes to think of himself.
Regardless of whether he is those things, he is patriotic. He loves his weyrs, and he loves his queens. He'd do anything for them. He is proud to announce, at gathers and at meetings where dragons of various nationalities gather, that he is a bronze of Trelis weyr, and his tone implies that there is no greater place to be from then Trelis weyr. He doesn't really question this: it's simply a given fact.
It informs most of his decisions and his sense of duty. Marath takes duty as a concept VERY seriously. The highest form of honor- and he is an honorable dragon- is fulfilling his duty to queen and country. Even in small ways, he will be impeccable: he will badger A'zeal to get ready for drills early, so that they can be on time.
In flights, he is devoted and serious. He does tend to chase Aith most often, being as it's his weyrmate's dragon, and he actually loves her. However, fatherhood is an important goal to him, so he chases other females too- specifically ones that can lay eggs. He's fascinated by the new colors, as well.
The thing that attracted him to A'zeal was A'zeal's curiosity: something he shares, though perhaps a lesser extent. He wants to know how the world works, and he'll frequently spark discussions to that effect amongst other dragons or A'zeal. He is one of the few people who doesn't get bored of listening to A'zeal's excessively detailed explanations to things, though he recognizes that others do, and usually provides a gentle reminder to his rider to tone things down a little when speaking to people who aren't fluent with the jargon. He himself learns quickly, and is prone to investigating things which he finds curious.
Marath's people skills are not the best. A cynic and a pessimist, he typically expects the worst of people, and acts like it. He doesn't quite notice when some comments are rude, or at least callous, and makes them. His judgement is fast and harsh, and his mind is hard to change.
He comes off as very surly, even when he doesn't mean to be. That surliness is kind of infused in everything he does: the way he walk is just tense enough to convey it, his eyes are usually toned with some yellow or orange or red, even when he's perfectly happy or pleased. He just doesn't come off as all that nice.. which is fair, because he really isn't all that nice.
He is not a patient dragon. He doesn't like waiting for things. Waiting around for something that isn't pressing is not a big deal— if they have nothing better to do, he's perfectly fine lingering around while A'zeal spends a ton of time tinkering. If they need to do something or are going to be late for something, however, his tolerance diminishes, and his impatience shows. The more he is made to wait, the more he'll get snappish and ornery and unfriendly.
Let it never be said that Marath makes rash decisions. While it can't be said that he dawdles, he takes the time to think about what he's doing before he decides to do it. He needs to be sure he's willing to deal with it and it will go like he thinks to. He is a thinker, and there is nothing he disrespects more then rashness.
He is a careful beast. Everything he does, he does with care, and a surprising amount of finesse. He can pick up small and fragile things, for example, that he'd probably be able to crush with no issue. He just takes his time with it and goes gently, and that lets him collect the small little smith parts that end up strewn across his couch when A'zeal is working and he is not there. That care shows in most of the other things he does, too. He does things well and precisely, because he cares enough to do it properly, and he takes his time.
Emotions don't inform most of Marath's decisions, and he finds it odd that they do for some people. He cannot grasp why people would want to be ruled by something so uncontrollable. He is a logical beast, and is perfectly happy to be such. Everything he does is reasoned through, and he makes sure it's the right and good decision when he makes it. His version of right and good, that is, which might be harsher then a normal person's.
Mindvoice
All things considered, most people would expect Marath to have a deep, strong voice. He doesn't, really: it's more of a high-pitched whine. It's not quite so high as to be shrieking or piercing, but it is, nevertheless, closer to an alto then a bass. In fact, occasionally people mistake his voice for belonging to a female, until they see him in person. His voice brings alongside it the impressions of strength and strong winds, even if it can cause some gender confusion.
