Latest Updates

2023/08/04 Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Hair Colour:
Light brown, short
Build:
Average
General Description:
Eyes: Light blue, somewhat narrow.

Hair: Light brown hair, kept short. Starting to grey in places.

Height: 6'1"

General Appearance: Jimeridan looks the Lord he is, with the signs of always having proper food and never having to do hard manual labor. He carries himself with the assumption that others will listen to what he has to say and defer to him. He's already fairly tall at 6'1", but he seems taller in many ways due to the confidence with which he stands and his good posture. Jimeridan smiles easily.

He keeps himself well groomed, and his most noticeable facial features are his bright blue eyes and long pointed nose.
General Dressing Style:
He always makes sure to look nice, but isn't overly concerned with his clothing. He has servants trained to choose appropriate clothing for him, as he just can't be bothered. It's important he looks nice and lordly, yes, but why waste the energy when someone else can do choose his outfits with better taste than he?
Ed Burns
Personality
Likes:
His Daughters: Despite really wanting a son, Jimeridan loves his daughters and spoils them rotten. This extends to his younger sisters as well. Just doting on the younger women of his family. Heck, it sometimes even transfers to young women who remind him of family.
Good Alcohol: Jimeridan is something of a snob when it comes to alcohol, especially wine, and always makes sure his household cellar is always well stocked with the best alcohol he can get with his means (which are pretty darn good).
Art: He collects artwork from around Pern and uses it to decorate the Lord's house. This includes paintings, tapestries, and finely carved furniture, if it looks fancy Jimeridan likes it and wants to display it in his home. Since he has the money, he can easily afford whatever art he wants, and is known to act as a patron to favorite artists (buy their work, encourage rich friends to buy their work, commission things, etc).
Strengths:
Delegation: Jimeridan is great at figuring out who the best person for a job is and assigning them to that job.
Cooperative: When it doesn't hurt him or Nabol, Jimeridan has no issues with cooperation or compromise to further a larger goal.
Relaxed: He is fairly calm and even keeled for a Lord Holder, and it takes a lot to get him truly angry or riled up.
Dislikes:
A Minor Holder: There's some minor holder under Nabol that just really gets on Jimeridan's nerves and he will go out of his way to thwart this man just because he can.
Gossip: Jimeridan knows the importance of information, but rumor and gossip just seems so unnecessary to him. Makes it more effort to figure out what the truth is, and most gossip is just mean spirited and he's not about that.
Infighting in Families: As a highly family-oriented man, Jimeridan takes great offense to families who are constantly in strife with each other. He thinks that everyone should accept their role in the family and fulfill it, as well as love the rest of the family unconditionally. He's real, real lucky that his brothers are all rather uninterested in being Lord Holder and given him little trouble, allowing him to believe his family is one big, happy unit with no internal issues like other noble families.
Flaws:
Rich: He just isn't able to truly comprehend what life is like for people who are not family to a Lord Holder.(Click here for gif)
×
It's not out of malice, it's just ignorance.
Stubborn: He is a reasonable man, and therefore right most of the time, so people should just go along with what he wants, darn it.
Possessive of Power: Jimeridan is not one to kill for his own ambition, but he's also not going to let go of power easily. He deserves it, it's his by right, and he will keep it.
Habits & Mannerisms:
He doodles a lot. Sometimes on important documents. Probably on personal letters too.
General Personality:
Jimeridan is a good natured man. He takes his position as Lord of Nabol seriously, but is fairly relaxed overall. Family is one of the most important things to him, a value imparted to him by his father. His daughters are the light of his life, and he's sometimes given a bit of a side-eye by other lords for how much leniency he gives them (for example, letting some of them reach their 20s unmarried). Jimeridan enjoys the luxury his lifestyle allows, and takes full advantage of it, indulging in fine wines, art, and decadent celebrations.

As a lord, Jimeridan is generally fair. He does care about the wellbeing of his people, but more along the lines of 'if famine strikes, I will make sure the people are fed' than 'I should eradicate poverty.' Most of the time Jimeridan knows his own limitations and is perfectly happy to let other people take the lead on projects to make sure they turn out the best way possible - as long as it's very clear that it was his idea and he's ultimately in charge and any success the person he puts in charge of the project has is because he chose to give that person the task.

Important History:
687 AL & Birth: Jimeridan is born the first living child of Lord Janderian and his wife, Mirda.
689 & 2 Turns: His first sibling, a sister named Jasah, is born. Lord Janderian is pleased he has a second living child.
691 AL & 4 Turns: Another sister, Mandara, is born
693 AL & 6 Turns: Mirda finally gives birth to another son, Jimeridan's first brother.
695 AL & 8 Turns: Dondarian, a second brother, is born.
696 AL & 9 Turns: Dondarian dies of a summer illness that sweeps through the Hold. He is one of the few fatalities, too young to fight it properly. It is this event that leads to Jimeridan learning how important it is for Lord Holders to have lots of children.
697 AL & 10 Turns: His sister Mandara dies tripping down stairs. The terrible accident greatly upsets his mother, and only further reinforces the lesson of the year before.
701 AL & 14 Turns: Mirda has another stillborn child, a son. Jimeridan is old enough to understand the tragedy of it.
703 AL & 16 Turns: Jimeridan becomes an adult in the eyes of Pern, and his father gives him more responsibilities and brings him around with him to learn more actively.
704 AL & 17 Turns: Jindara is born, another sister. Jimeridan learns he really likes being a big brother. He was too close in age to Jasah to really feel like her big brother, but he does with the new sister.
705 AL & 18 Turns: His world is turned upside down when his mother dies. The healer believes something went wrong with her last pregnancy but there were no external signs of the problem. Jimeridan is devastated, but aware of his adult status and hides most of it away, paying even closer attention to working with his father and learning how to be a good Lord Holder.
707 AL & 20 Turns: Lord Janderian marries again, a women named Savilla. Jimeridan is mildly weirded out by the fact his father's new wife is two months younger than him, but understands the logic. He gets along well enough with her, as she respects his deceased mother and her children.
712 AL & 24 Turns: A match is made and Jimeridan is betrothed to one of the daughters of Lord Igen, who is almost 16.
713 AL & 25 Turns: Jimeridan and Ithola marry.
714 AL & 26 Turns: His first child, a daughter named Jorra, is born.
715 AL & 27 Turns: A second daughter, Ithara, is born.
718 AL & 30 Turns: Another daughter, Thorma, is born.
720 AL & 32 Turns: A child, another daughter, is born still. Jimeridan and Ithola mourn their first lost child.
721 AL & 34 Turns: Itherida is born.
722 AL & 35 Turns: Jira is born.
725 AL & 37 Turns: Ithola miscarries her pregnancy.
728 AL & 40 Turns: Daughter Marielle is born.
731 AL & 44 Turns: Lord Janderian dies and Jimeridan becomes the Lord of Nabol. Later in the turn, Ithola gives birth to another stillborn daughter.
732 AL & 45 Turns: Ithola dies from some sort of fading illness. Jimeridan mourns, but is in some ways relieved, because he now has to worry even more about producing an heir and Ithola was only giving him daughters.
734 AL & 47 Turns: Jimeridan marries Haleah.
735 AL & 48 Turns: Haleah gives birth to her first child, a daughter (Jala). Jimeridan is mildly dismayed, but Haleah is young still.
737 AL & 50 Turns: Another daughter, Himerah, is born.
739 AL & 52 Turns: Haleah is currently pregnant again, and Jimeridan really hopes this one is a son. His brother Maveridan is his heir, but Maveridan is 46 and Jimeridan would prefer a younger heir. Of his remaining brothers, he considers Veridian and Rinderian unsuitable, and Jazarin is wholly uninterested (though he would become heir if anything happened to Maveridan).
Month 11 - Hurrah, a son is born!
Ed Burns
Education
Details:
As the eldest son of a Lord Holder, Jimeridan was taught from childhood how to run a Hold, with the expectation he would inherit. He did well enough in his lessons; he's not unintelligent by any means, but not exactly an academic mind. He understands everything well enough to check someone else's work, and he's excellent at delegating and choosing the right person for the job.
