STATS
Name: Wade
Sex: Male
Gender: Male
Age: 23

Description: A burly, muscled young man with short sun-bleached blond hair and bright blue eyes. He has a light complexion which means he needs to use a lot of tanning cream in current conditions. Wade isn't very fashion-conscious, as long as his clothes fit and aren't completely torn, he'll keep wearing them. Once they go past that point they become rags.
Personality: Unimaginative, practical and tech-savvy, Wade isn't the most socially adept of the group. He is the guy who bluntly ignores the atmosphere to ask about the taboo. He's not at all perceptive about relationships. He doesn't hold grudges himself. But he is very perceptive when it comes to the controls of vehicles. He'll know how to operate a random vehicle and if it's something new he'll learn on the fly.

Short Bio: Wade was born on earth and grew up in a nuclear family until he entered boarding school. Teachers quickly noticed his affinity lay in operating and driving and he lacked interest in anything else. Wade didn't have any motivation to work on his flaws and this was accepted, leading to him getting a job on a small space-vessel headed for the edges of the universe.
Job: Wade is the muscle of the crew. He goes out and drives/works the machinery, taking the most risk.

HATCHING
Night was falling and a warm breeze caressed the island. There were hardly clouds to obscure the night sky that looked especially magical with stars and nebulous wisps. No night ever looked the same but it was rare to see such a spectacle. But not many eyes were cast upwards. Most people were gathered around the Island sands where torches provided light and extra warmth. Five female hathians protected a collection of eggs and the six males that had sired them eyes the spectators and candidates warily. In fact, not too many candidates had been selected as some of the parenting hathians were intending to take a few of the offspring home.
Of the gathered candidates, 4 were human, two were Lanuthan twins but there was also a couple of elfs, a dwarf and a lion-like Liron. But maybe the most conspicuous of the candidates was the hathian Brasedi, who although he claimed he was red, looked very much purple-pink and blue. As the mascot of Carramba High he had brought merchandise and a big banner with him and he was now proudly standing below that banner and waited for newly hatched hathians to join him.
A duo of hatchlings found each other on the sands and decided that they liked each other enough to head to a candidate together. The red male was protective and valiant while the green female was dainty and a bit shy. They walked toward one of the space engineers, Wade, and got his attention by clutching his pants and accidentally ripping it as it had seen a lot of wear.
"Fuego." Cheas named her son.
"Nahro." Aless added the name of her daughter.

FLIGHT
Fuego noticed that Nahro was holding back. She had a tendency of getting uncertain when people talked about her and he hated how it make her feel that way. She was a wonderful hathian and the one he held most dear aside from his bond.
"What is wrong?" he asked and hoped she would perk up if he gave her a compliment.
"Nothing." Nahro replied too quickly.
In fact she knew what was wrong. A flurry of feelings had been storming in her body of late and she had a hard time controlling it all. Wade knew of course and he had told her she was becoming a lady but he had said it with a blush and a lot of stammering that made her feel like she should not share these feelings with others.
Fuego came closer and placed his head on her shoulder, stroking Nahro's neck.
"You're wonderful. I want you to know that."
Nahro tried to pull back but he kept her close.
"I'm a mess really." she whispered.
Fuego inched closer and the signals he picked up were new and confusing; But they did not change how he felt about Nahro.
"Even as a mess I can't look away from you."
