Background Story:
-- Yanzi was employed by Xyliah's father to be the maid of his eldest daughter, but it quickly became apparent that young Yanzi and Xyliah hit it off in ways the girl didn't with his other daughters, and she instead was assigned to Xyliah. They have been together ever since Xyliah was five (727) - during which year Yanzi turned nine. Xyliah often treats Yanzi as somewhere between servant, confidant, best friend, sister, and life guide.

Education Details: Yanzi has a decent education, primarily because Xyliah used her as a study-buddy when she wasn't otherwise occupied with her duties. While Yanzi has no official education, her assisting Xyliah gave her a good grip on all the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic and social studies.

Dessa
Civillian
[Image: nXrJp4J.png]
Ryoko Yonekura
 
Important Details
 
Original Name: Dessa
  Pronounced: dess-ah
Nicknames: Dessy

Primary Rank: Shop Owner
  Secondary Ranks: Civillian

Place of Birth: Telgar Boundaries Somewhere
Date of Birth: 16.03.701

Partner: N/A
 
 
Appearance
 
[Image: 4j6Bobd.png]

Eyes: Dessa’s eyes are a deep, warm brown. Almond shaped and surrounded by fine but long lashes, her eyes are generally considered captivating.

Hair: In her younger days, Dessa would wear her hair long. In more recent times, however, she has a preference for a shorter style, keeping it between her ears and shoulder length. Generally, it is straight with a slight wave to it, but she has been known to style it so that it is unnaturally wavy. Her hair is of a dark brown, almost black colour that highlights with sun bleaching to have a red tint. It is soft and silky and slips free of any restraints used to try and control it.

Height: 5'6

General Appearance: Dessa is a woman who carries her age and the weight of her years well. She has the stretchmarks and light scarring that belies the fact that she has had several children and more than a few pregnancies during her younger years, but her body is slim, strong and a source of pride for the woman. She has long limbs, with a gentle softness to it that hides the strength she’s built up over the Turns by doing the manual labour required of her plants and their maintenance.

Preferring to keep her hands clean and dirt free, Dessa most often does her gardening with gloves on. This causes some folks surprise when they find out she runs her own little herbalist shop, but she takes pride in her ability to look one part, and fulfil another. Her clothing is always the best quality that she can afford – never the most expensive, but not cheap scraps, either – and she bathes regularly.

Dessa’s face is very round, with neat features that fit it nicely, but have just enough quirk to give her personality: her nose is a little big, her lips a little pink, her eyebrows a little pale. She likes the way she looks, though, and takes pride in who she is. A lack of self confidence was not something Dessa has ever truly been struck down by, though she’s had her moments of insecurity.

With a small bust and small hips; not ‘narrow’ in the traditional sense, but certainly on the small side, Dessa carried all of her pregnancies high and to the front of her, making her often feel like a overweight cow. Her feet are on the smaller side, and she enjoys going barefoot when she can, though she knows this causes them to become quite dirty. As a result, she takes great care to scrub her feet well before bed. Her fingernails are always delicately manicured, and she keeps them just a little bit longer than the tip of her fingers.

Dressing Style: Since leaving her lifestyle as a Lady, Dessa has taken on the dressing style of someone who has to be more aware of her money and where it goes. She has a tendency to wear sturdy, practical clothing. This is usually composted of calico pants and a soft cotton shirt; these usually vary in a huge array of colours that she chooses from to suit her mood.

When there are Gathers or she wants to feel especially pretty or ladylike, Dessa has a handful of her old dresses she had commissioned when she was a Lady and managed to ferry away with herself. They are mostly long gowns and flowing skirts, with some short or long sleeved varieties.

With either of her outfit choices, she will wear either soft slippers (if the day is dry) or sturdy heeled boots for the wet or cool weather. If she is in the garden, she prefers to go barefoot.

 
 
Personality
 
[Image: YYONNgq.png]

General Character Traits: Dessa is an intelligent and brave woman, who refuses to take shit from anyone but herself. She is strong and independent, aspects of her personality that were mostly buried when she was younger but came out in full force when her life took a turn that was tragic at the time, but ultimately freed her to become the woman she is today. She enjoys the lifestyle she has in being single after being married for ten Turns, and the life she’s built for herself since moving to Telgar.

Dessa loves being in the garden, and while her home in Telgar doesn’t actually have a yard, she’s managed to turn her roof into a little garden for the months without snow, while moving everything into the safety of inside during the white months. She could spend all day wandering from pot to pot, with dirt on her hands and under her nails as she encourages each bush and flower to grow and bloom so she can sell them in her store. Inside her store, she takes pride in keeping up displays and making sure that the people who come to her for help, are able to get what they need.

Helping people is something Dessa takes pride in, and it gives her a feeling of joy and satisfaction. She loves knowing that the plants she grows are able to help couples have the baby they have longed for or cure the case of pneumonia that was plaguing a loved one. She feels privileged and special when people come back to tell her of their success stories, or send in friends or family so that they might also benefit from her knowledge and love of plants.

Despite her welcoming embrace when it comes to letting people into her store and listening to their stories, Dessa is incredibly private and what few friends she has know little of her life before she arrived in Telgar, or where she goes when she takes time away from the store. What is known is that she enjoys quiet company, and will always welcome children into her embrace, loving to listen to them babble about their day and antics. Children are one of the very few who can easily get Dessa to laugh and smile as if she has no cares in the world.

Habits/Mannerisms: Dessa moves slowly, with a regal quality, but it is primarily so she can both collect her thoughts and get a good idea of what she’s moving into. She doesn’t particularly enjoy having to think on the go, so if she moves slowly, she has more time to come up with solutions and the like.

Opinions:
  Threadfall Theory: The dragonriders say it will be back... but they would say that, wouldn't they?
  Stealing/Kidnapping: Absolutely disgraceful!
    Weryrleader S'kef: N/A
     Firelizards: She hasn't actually met one...
    Women's loss of honourifics: N/A
  Return North: While she appreciates that that part of Pern is still alive and well, she doesn't agree with the way they apparently handled the whole situation.

Likes:
  Vesse’s Family: Dessa adores her second daughter, the man she married, and the family she married into. She’s very pleased with the choice she made in her daughter’s husband and that Melver agreed to it. Nothing makes her quite as happy as spending time with her daughter and her grandchildren, or the enjoyment she gets out of her little home and store, which were a gift from the couple after their first child was born.
  Gardening: Dessa always loved her little garden when she was married to Melver, and that hasn’t changed despite her change in location. Now her garden is mostly situated on the top of her small building, where it gets some sunlight. The herbs are carefully cultivated and harvested. In the winter, the majority of the pots move into her home where she does her best to keep them alive by setting them in the sunlight or up on the roof during the day and bringing them in at night. The exercise keeps her fit and stronger than she looks.
  Helping People: Her store started because she wanted to garden, but it remained because she found she thoroughly enjoyed helping the people that came to see her. She loves being able to help them fix some of their issues with just a handful of selected herbs; she especially enjoys when men – and rarely a woman – come in seeking something to help with getting pregnant. She loves talking to them about known experiences and wishing them well. Sometimes they even come by again to tell her they were successful, and that a baby has been borne. That brings her more joy than she ever thought it could.

Dislikes:
  Her (ex) Father-In-Law: Even though, technically, he is to thank for her current and enjoyable lifestyle, Dessa still holds a great deal of distaste for him. She’s loathe to actually call it hatred, because that is such a strong word and a waste of good emotion, but if she’s honest with herself, she hates the man. She can’t stand the man and his snide arrogance, especially since the next wife he chose for his son – a girl barely older than Melver’s own daughters – quickly produced a son and Melver’s father seemed to take all the credit for that. Dessa isn’t sure if its her own snideness coming through, but she has a feeling the boy is Melver’s brother, not his son.
  Too much quiet: After going from a large family, to building her own family, to living with her daughter’s family, Dessa doesn’t handle the quiet very well. Granted, there are days when she enjoys sitting down with a mug of mulled wine while she does the accounting, but for the most part, she likes having the shop door propped open so she can hear the children playing in the street and the snippets of casual conversation as people walk by. Nights are usually the worst; Dessa doesn’t want to share her life with a man again, but even after all the Turns, she isn’t used to the resounding silence and space of having a bed to herself.
  Intimacy: Dessa has given up on sex; she has slept with a few men over the Turns since her husband remarried, but she hasn’t found anything worth getting excited about – or returning to. While she can bring herself to climax, she hasn’t found any man capable of doing the job for her and has simply settled on pleasuring herself when she feels the itch, rather than seeking out an attractive but ultimately useless man. She honestly doesn’t even blame them; Dessa hardly thinks they can all be so useless, so she’s decided it is some weird and annoying quirk of her own. She really wants to have an enjoyable intimate experience, but since she’s almost forty and it hasn’t happened yet, she’s pretty sure other women are just making up shit by this point.

Strengths:
  Independent: A personality trait that was enhanced by the path her life took, Dessa is a strong and independent woman, who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and what she believes in. She isn’t someone who goes out of her way to buck the system or cause ripples, but she has long since grown past the point of needing a husband to protect and nurture her. She is more than capable of providing for herself, and in the future, hopes to pay her son-in-law for the home he bought for her. Not because she believes he expects it, but because she wants to be free from any strings.
  Proud: Dessa isn’t one to walk around with airs of arrogance, but she is proud of herself, who she is, and where she has gotten herself in life. She is proud of her children, and she is proud of her grandchildren. She is proud of her home, her shop, her gardens and her life in general. She has very few regrets about the way things have turned out, and while she would no doubt do some things differently, she overall wouldn’t change anything. After all, that adventure is what made her who she is, and put her where she is.
  Observant: Dealing with the people that she has, for the past several Turns, has honed Dessa’s ability to read people and situations. She can by no means dig up their deepest secrets from looking at them, but she can certainly read emotions and see when someone is lying or attempting to hide something. Generally, she doesn’t pry any more than she needs to in order to best deliver the herbs they need, but sometimes curiosity is something that gets the better of her! Dessa enjoys the secrets she collects, and she keeps them safely locked away in her mind, where no one can take them from her.

Flaws:
  Reserved: Dessa isn’t one to open up to just anyone; she has few friends and fewer still confidants. While she takes in the secrets gifted to her and holds them dear, she refuses to release her own, bottling them up and keeping them safe in the depths of her mind. While her emotions are not hidden, she doesn’t go around emoting like some people she knows. Generally, when she’s happy it is displayed in a look of contentment or a small smile, while displeasure is a mere flattening of her lips. She feels strongly but expresses with great reservation; she doesn’t welcome friendships the way some women do and tends to express scepticism and wariness when people try to get to know her.
  Blunt: Dessa doesn’t mince words, and this has a tendency to give her a blunt and frank way of speaking. As a rule, it doesn’t bother her, but it does mean she has to really stop and think about how to phrase what she wants to say when dealing with a new customer, lest she scare them off. She also has a tendency to become exasperated with stupid people, and does her best to avoid them; people whom she deems as ‘intolerably stupid’ she goes out of her way to shoo from her store and not invite back.
  Humourless: Technically, Dessa isn’t humourless; she just has a really quirky sense of humour that most people don’t get and she finds most people’s idea of humour to be ‘intolerably stupid’, meaning she tends to stare with a flat look when someone shares a joke or tries to make her laugh. Dessa loves humour, but she loves her type of humour and not most other peoples.

- Dessa only really has contact with Vesse, though she writes to Demva occasionally. She doesn't speak to her two younger children, who were adopted by their step mother.

Background Story:
701.03.16, Birth: Dessa is born, the fifth child of her parents, and the second and last girl. Her father is 27, while her mother is 23. She is not a particularly notable child; neither unwell nor especially loud or quiet in nature. Just another babe that is passed along to the wet nurse at six weeks of age.
702.03.29, 1 Turn: The birth of Fedell just after Dessa's first birthday is of little relevance to Dessa; being cared for almost entirely by her nanny since just after birth, she isn't affected by the new baby who has a different nanny.
705.05.15, 4 Turns: Dessa is officially betrothed to the third son of a local Minor Lord. Being such a young child, she doesn’t particularly care, though her Nanny does her best to tell stories about the slightly older boy.
710.01.01, 8 Turns: The Turn that Dessa would be turning Nine, she began her lessons with her Mother and sisters, learning how to read, write, correct penmanship, numbers and accounting as well as other etiquette such as how to dress and conduct herself in a manner befitting a young Lady, and not the wild child she had been allowed to be for the past eight Turns.
714.05.09 & 13 Turns: Much to her embarrassed delight, Dessa officially becomes a woman; she begins wearing her hair in styles considered ‘grown up’ and her dresses change from a child’s frocks to a woman’s daily gowns. Her father reaches out to her betrothed’s family, announcing that she will be ready to marry upon her sixteenth birthday. Dessa and Melver begin having chaperoned dates.
716.09.24 & 15: During an opportune moment while their chaperones are out of sight, Dessa and Melver share their first kiss. Dessa finds the experience rather lacklustre, but keeps it to herself. He seems pleased with it, though, and she’s charmed by his delight, though she has to work hard to be enthusiastic during future ‘alone’ moments. For the first time, she begins to doubt their future relationship. He’s a wonderful guy, but…
717.03.16 & 16: Dessa’s sixteenth birthday doubles as her wedding day, her father presenting her to her betrothed and the exchanging of vows tying her to her new family, and her new life. Despite her doubts about their chemistry as a couple, Dessa is pleased and proud to be marrying Melver. He has become a good friend to her over the Turns and she believes they will be happy together. She spends the entire wedding ceremony and feast after blushing with pleasure, pressed securely against Melver’s side. She is pleased that he seems to be just as proud to call her his.
718.06.XX & 17: The sex was as lacklustre as Dessa feared; Melver seems to be trying to make sure she enjoys herself, which she appreciates, but it just doesn’t do anything for her. She knows she’s not lacking a sex drive; she’s always enjoyed masturbating so she puts it down to their lack of chemistry and goes back to pleasuring herself when he’s asleep or not home and engages in the sex he asks for. The fact that he never demands makes her love him more, but she still feels guilty for not being content with that part of their relationship as she is with the rest of it. She falls pregnant fairly quickly, though – to both their delight – and in the sixth month of her seventeenth year, Dessa gives birth to their first daughter, Demva. They’re both disappointed the child isn’t a son, but are pleased by the easy pregnancy, uneventful birth, and healthy babe.
719.09.XX & 18: Just a few months after the birth of their first child, Dessa finds herself pregnant again. They are both openly hoping for a son when their second daughter, Vesse, is born. Dessa feels as if she is, once more, letting her beloved husband down and begins to withdraw slightly. She focuses a lot of her time and attention on her two children when she isn’t otherwise doing her required tasks for running the small property they were gifted by Melver’s father. Melver seems determined to bring her back to him, and begins making an effort to take her on little dates and bring her home gifts.
721.01.XX & 19: Just a couple of months before Dessa’s twentieth birthday, she gives birth to their third daughter. Dessa feels an utter failure, and falls into postnatal depression. She has a great deal of trouble bonding with Elvass, and instead hands her off to a wet nurse which she didn’t do with the two older girls. She is lost to the depression for quite a long time, until she finds out she’s pregnant again. She sets her sights on finally producing a boy, and comes back into the light once more, cleaning herself up and taking care of herself though she has little to do with her youngest daughter.
722.05.XX & 21: Giving birth to their fourth daughter (Desella), Dessa isn’t surprised when Melver’s father comes to her when her husband is away, and informs her that she is failing in her wifely duties to his son. Despite the fact that Melver isn’t in line for an inheritance, what with being the third son, his father is determined that he have a son of his own to pass on the small property in the future. Dessa learns she has one more Turn to produce a son for her husband, or she will be cast aside.
Six months later, after thinking about it a lot, Dessa confronts Melver, who is outraged. He promises he will speak to his father and fix things up. He has come to deeply love his daughters, and he is still as enchanted by Dessa as he was when they were children. Dessa herself is torn; she doesn’t want to leave her children (notably the elder two) but is also not completely distraught by the opportunity to rebuild her life to her own desires.
727.01.15 & 25: A couple of months before Dessa turns twenty-six, when her children are aged just five to nine (or thereabouts), Melver’s father finally wins the battle that has been raging between the two men. When Dessa failed to fall pregnant for a fifth time (primarily because she’d told Melver she didn’t want to try any more for a son, and Melver was happy with his daughters) Melver’s father finally whaled away at the man enough for him to give way. The fact that his father threatened to kick the whole family onto the streets if Melver didn’t see it his way, probably had a lot to do with it.
Dessa agreed to step aside and allow Melver to remarry, on the condition that she could stay within the home until her two elder daughters had been married and moved out. Since it would only be another handful of Turns, Melver’s father agreed, as did Melver.
733.XX.XX & 33: While her daughters are both young – just fifteen and sixteen – Dessa (who played a strong and demanding role in choosing their betrothed) is content with them being married at the end of the Turn, particularly since it means she will be able to leave the household. Her two younger daughters, both of whom were raised by wet-nurses, have little relationship with their mother and she is happy to leave them in their father’s care alongside their step-mother, with whom they seem to get along well enough. (Comparatively, both Demva and Vesse are outraged by the change in living arrangements that happened when they were pre-teens).
Vesse, with whom she had been closest to, managed to charm her husband (and his father) into letting Dessa move into their new home with them. Dessa is impressed, but also enamoured by how her daughter’s husband and his father seem to think the very sun rises and sets on Vesse, and she is relieved, glad her daughter has clearly found a family that won’t set her aside if she fails to produce a son.
736.XX.XX & 35: Dessa is absolutely enchanted when Vesse falls pregnant, and then gives birth to a healthy son. She takes to being a grandmother with the same enthusiasm as she did mothering her first two daughters. Unfortunately, as her daughter’s little family grew by one, she felt it was time for her to move on, just a bit. She was ready to live her own life, now. She spoke to her daughter, who in turn smiled mysteriously and told her they had already planned for such. That night, when Vesse’s husband and father-in-law were free at dinner, they informed her that they had purchased a small home and shop-front for her in Telgar Hold. She would be able to support herself there, and enjoy herself, while still being close enough to visit as regularly as she wished. Dessa is thrilled, and begins plans to move out almost immediately, much to their amusement.
738.XX.XX & 37: Comfortably at home in Telgar Hold, Dessa has made a quiet name for herself as a place that can be visited by anyone looking for herbal remedies. She mainly produces concoctions that enhance libido and encourage fertility, but she also has a black-market side, where she will provide both men and women with the means to end an unwanted or dangerous pregnancy, though due to Hold opinions she keeps such information carefully guarded. It takes a lot of hoops to get her to provide the herbs that are desired for such circumstances.
739.06.XX & 38: Coming home from visiting Vesse, who has just had her second child (another boy, much to Dessa’s amusement) Dessa comes across a young woman and child. Their weariness and distrust intrigue her and she works hard to encourage them to join her on her trip back to Telgar Hold. It’s much safer to travel together than alone, even if ruffians aren’t exactly a threat to the Pernese traveller.
Year & Age:


 
 
Education
 
Education Details: Dessa has the appropriate education for a Lady of standing. She was given lessons in spelling, penmanship, writing, numbers (including accounting), as well as etiquette and social standards for presentation and conversation.

She received an unofficial education from a retired Healer who specialised in plants and their medical uses. She mostly has a lot of self-bound books filled with sheets of parchment on which illustrations are drawn, and information printed in her neat hand.

 
RP Sample
 
Dessa smiled absently to herself as the horse pulled the small cart along the well-travelled path. She had enjoyed visiting with her son-in-law and daughter, as she ever did, spoiling her grandchildren and enjoying their sticky kisses and sweet voices. The eldest, just barely two, was the light of Dessa’s life and she delighted in the way the child doted on her. The infant, another little boy, was a beautiful child who promised to be as delightful as his sibling. Dessa was proud of her daughter and she was proud of the life the girl was leading and wished her all the happiness on Pern.

Her attention was snagged when the horse snorted, and Dessa looked up curiously, wondering what had caused the animal to react. She was rather surprised when she saw what looked like a pair of youngsters walking along the road ahead of her. Dessa blinked, and tilted her head, considering. There were not usually lone travellers. She was a bit of an oddity, travelling by herself with her sturdy horse and little cart. Dessa didn’t believe in hiring a guard when she was quite capable of being intimidating when the time called for it, and besides, who would want to rob her? She was dressed comfortably but didn’t exactly reek of Marks, and while her horse was sturdy, he was old. Her cart was small, and usually filled with herbs she was taking to sell in her daughter’s home town as well as her own travelling items – clothes, primarily.

The pair was still a good distance ahead of her, and were either ignoring her or hadn’t yet realised there was someone coming up from behind. Dessa figured it was probably the latter, since the mild breeze was blowing into her face, meaning the sound was carrying away from them. She pulled her horse to a standstill and tilted her ear into the wind. If they were talking, it wasn’t loud enough to carry, which seemed strange to her. Usually children were loud and chatty when walking together, and she figured they were probably heading down to Telgar from one of the farms within the vicinity. They were still a couple of days out, but she’d known parents to send older kids off to the Hold to pick up items when the adults were too busy to make the trip.

Giving the reins a gentle flick, Dessa encouraged her horse back into his lazy walk. She watched them as she got closer, deciding she’d offer them a place in the back of her cart in exchange for any stories they had to tell, when she got close enough to realise it was a woman and child, not two children. Her eyebrows lifted somewhat, but Dessa smoothed her features before calling out a friendly greeting, watching curiously the way they reacted to the sound of her voice.

Appearance
 
[Image: cZyQuPK.png]
Eyes: Eb’zer’s eyes are green, though unless you’re in his face or they’re catching the light, they mostly appear a kind of murky hazel. They’re framed by average lashes, and messy eyebrows.

Hair: Eb’zer has soft hair, silky to the touch which falls, wavy and untamed, to the nape of his neck. He doesn’t keep it cropped short, but he also doesn’t let it grow too long. Just long enough to rake his fingers through and fiddle with when he’s studying.

Height: 5'11

General Appearance: Eb’zer is a delicate young man; he is built with long, willowy lines and no excess weight. His limbs are long – legs, torso and arms – with delicate hands made of long, gentle fingers. He keeps his nails well-trimmed, and his hands are always clean. Eb’zer doesn’t have board shoulders, and he has very little body hair under his clothing, and not a whole lot more on his face. His hips are narrow, and his waist barely tapered – this primarily because he doesn’t have broad shoulders, meaning there is little width change between hips upwards.

Despite the obvious frail and delicate appearance, Eb’zer is much stronger than he looks. He is able to lift dead weight of patients with relative ease; his core muscles are well developed and he has strong arms for holding down injured individuals from struggling or holding back panicked loved-ones. Alas, he isn’t technically fit – his strength comes from using those parts of his body, but swimming, running, or dancing are not things he could easily accomplish without fall back due to his lack of exercise as a rule.

Like his body, Eb’zer’s face is delicate. He has a wide-set jaw that tapers into a defined, pointed chin. His cheekbones are high, his nose defined but small, his lips full and peach coloured and shaped like a cupid’s-bow they smile easily. Eb’zer’s eyebrows are messy, rarely getting maintained unless he’s really bored or someone points it out to him. He has almost no facial hair; while he gets a bit of fuzz on his upper lip and along his chin, there is not nearly enough to justify growing it and so he shaves regularly and carefully. As a result of this, Eb’zer has and maintains a clear baby face.

As he grows through Weyrlinghood, his fitness will improve; learning how to run, swim (he’s never swum before!) as well as improving his muscle control and core strength. His body will always remain airy and delicate, with a graceful gentleness to it, but it will also grow strong with an iron core to match his Healer-Mode personality.

Dressing Style: Eb’zer has ever been one to dress with practicality, and a preference for comfort over fashion. That isn’t to say he wears rags, but he prioritises his comfort over being eye catching, and his general look displays this. With a tendency to wear dark colours that emphasise his long limbs, Eb’zer was teased for being a ‘shadow’, always dark and lingering on the edge of the group, taking notes and listening closely.

Since Impressing, Eb’zer has found he wears more sturdy clothing, designed to withstand the antics of his Weyrling training and raising a dragon. His wardrobe has expanded to include a lot of typical dragonrider clothing, but he still carefully keeps his Healer outfits neatly to one side.

Eb’zer still dresses like a shadow, but he is prone to wearing green shirts under his black vests and jackets, adding a splash of colour to his outfit. He has promised Zellekath that when her adult colouration has settled, he will have several shirts dyed to match her, and he will wear them with pride.

 
 
Personality
 
[Image: G7YavPV.png]
General Character Traits: Eb'zar is a very practical person, something that has done wonders for his career as a Healer. He is clearly intelligent, perhaps more so than some other people, but he isn't the type to lord himself over those who haven't had the chance to be educated and though he does think rather lowly of people who are ignorant and uninterested in bettering themselves, he will never mock someone for actually being unintelligent.

Realistic, but not prone to taking things literally, Eb'zar will take the time to think things through, if it is provided for him, but is not afraid to jump in and think on the fly when time is of the essence. Taking his job seriously - people's lives depend on him - Eb'zar spent most of his time at the Healer Hall reading and studying when he wasn't actively practising his craft. As a result, Eb'zar can sound a bit like a Pernese thesaurus of Healing mumbo-jumbo when he speaks, especially if he is speaking to someone who knows their stuff; he enjoys talking wtih colleagues and learning new things from them. Healthy debates are fun, too, and he can often be seen doing exactly that with some of his favourite debaters. If asked, Eb'zar will conclude that he has learned at least as much - if not possibly more - from debating with both his fellow students and their Masters, as he has from the lectures he's attended, or the books he's read. Like being put on the spot in a medical emergency, Eb'zar has found that debates force him to think both on his feet, and outside of the box.

Generally, Eb'zar is all business and no play when it comes to his bedside manner; he doesn't have time for idle chitchat or gossip with the nurses or even wtih the patients he is tending to. That isnt' to say he is cold or even unfriendly when he is around other people, simply that he considers himself busy and is honestly impatient to get all his work done, even though he'd never consider actually kicking his feet up even if he did ever get ahead of the pile.

Habits/Mannerisms: Brusque, often to the point of appearing or seeming rude, Eb’zer doesn’t mince words, stumble, stutter or otherwise ever appear to be at odds with any situation he finds himself in. Always looking to be in control and aware of everything going on around him, Eb’zer has a solid gaze and almost always wears a serious expression.

Opinions:
  Threadfall Theory: It is a worry, from a Healer's point of view. What type of wounds does it cause? What is the healing time? Now, as a dragonrider, he finds it secretly terrifying and hopes he is more use as a Healer than as a greenrider when it Falls again.
  Stealing/Kidnapping: Explains a lot.
    Weryrleader S'kef: N/A
     Firelizards: Interesting little things. Useful? Perhaps.
    Women's loss of honourifics: N/A
  Return North: Eb'zer wound the return of the dragonriders interesting, though he certainly never intended to become one! Not that he'd give up Zellekath for anything!

Likes:
  Being Busy: Eb’zer loves to be busy; always there is something to do, something that needs to be done, and he is never one to be seen sitting around aimlessly or twiddling his thumbs.
  Hot Chocolate: Most Healers tend to live on a diet of Klah, but Eb’zer never really took to the drink, instead preferring to indulge in hot chocolate, enjoying the smooth taste and the way it warms him as he sips it.
  Intimacy: Contrary to his rather standoffish nature, Eb’zer loves intimacy, and not just in a sexual way. He loves being close to other, holding hands, hugging, cuddling and kisses. The people that know this, however, are very few and far between.

Dislikes:
  Small Talk: Eb’zer can think of so many things he’d rather be doing – including enjoying silence – than partaking in small talk. If it is classified as small talk, it is not important, and thus he has no interest in whatever gossip or random chit chat it is the other person is sharing.
  Dramatic People: Part of being a Healer is dealing with emotional people, and that is fine, but when people take to being overly dramatic, Eb’zer loses his patience. Ranking up there with the individuals who seek to tell him how to do his job when they have no Healer knowledge, Eb’zer will deadpan tell the person he’s dealing with that they will die, if they don’t shut the fuck up. Now.
  Sleeping In: There is far too much to be done during the day, to spend it sleeping in! Eb’zer is someone who wakes up really early, but also goes to bed quite late. Usually clocking in at just five hours sleep on a good night, Eb’zer marches through life on a constant mission that does not include sleeping any more than absolutely required.

Strengths:
  Dependable: Eb’zer is solid and dependable; while most people he interacts with know this on a work side (or lessons) he is also an extremely dependable friend and takes his friendships and the people he shares them with very seriously. He will do anything for the people he feels closest to.
  Organised: Everything has its place, and everything belongs in its place, thank you very much. Eb’zer always knows where his things are, and where he last put them – because he always puts them back in their correct place. Always.
  Prioritising: Eb’zer is particularly good at taking in a situation, whether it be a medical emergency or otherwise, and prioritising what has to happen in what order. It is a skill he seemed to come into as a child, but it was emphasised and has grown through his education in the Healer Hall. While his role as a greenrider will never have him in a position of power, when something goes wrong, Eb’zer will know how to act.

Flaws:
  The Dark: Eb’zer has a deep-seated fear of the darkness, or rather, whatever could be hiding in the darkness. He keeps a collection of glows around his home, and within easy reach – he even keeps a small glowstone under his pillow. While Eb’zer tends to be a bit of a night-owl and stay up until far too late, he is never in the dark – if one were to step into his home in the middle of the night, they would find it lit with soft lighting that easily banishes all the shadows.
  Superstitious: Most likely a combination of superstition and obsessive-compulsive disorder, Eb’zer has to do many things in a particular way in order to not feel like he’s made a mess of things, or that something won’t go wrong. He often obsesses over dreams – especially if he has them before a big event, or he will look back on them with twenty-twenty vision and be sure he should have known. Despite all this, while most people know that Eb’zer can be rather peculiar and quirky, he is careful to keep his superstitious nature to himself.
  Blunt: Eb’zer does his best to be polite, but at the end of the day, he isn’t inclined to mincing words in order to soften the blow, preferring to simply state facts and get it over and done with. This is particularly so if he is delivering bad news while on the job, as he sees no point in lying to or trying to coddle patients.

Background Story:
09.09.718 AL – Birth: After many turns of trying, Ebenzer is finally born to Ebaneish and Ezeralliah; with his mother in her forty-second turn, and his father forty-nine, Ebenzer’s birth was deemed a miracle by them both. Living within the Healer Hall, Ezeralliah was taken good care of during her pregnancy, and Ebenzer was born healthy, if a bit small and a few weeks early.
720.09.09 AL – 2 Turns: Ebenzer grew into a healthy and cheerful toddler, doted on by his parents and extended family. Due to his mother’s age and the difficulty that she had falling pregnant and keeping him, he remains an only child.
731.01.01 AL - 12 Turns: Born to a master of the craft, and raised in the Hall, it was obvious to anyone that met or knew Ebenzer that he was destined to be apprenticed. The turn he was to begin his twelfth year, Ebenzer began his apprenticeship. An honest and earnest student, he studied with great dedication and was known to shoot irritated and disgusted looks at anyone who asked stupid questions, or did not take classes seriously.
734.10.15 - 16 Turns: Shortly after his sixteenth birthday, Ebenzer had an unfortunate accident when he was out swimming on an off day with some other apprentices. Swinging from the limb of a large tree that hung over the abandoned Weyr lake, the rope broke, dropping Ebenzer onto the rocks on the edge, where he tumbled before landing in the cold waters. After his companions carried him back to the Hall, Ebenzer was diagnosed with a broken arm, a fractured ankle, and a concussion - which honestly made Ebenzer and his companions puff up proudly at correct diagnosis. Four weeks later, Ebenzer hobbled with his friends, as they Walked the Tables to become Journeymen.
737.12.30 & 19: New Turn’s Eve celebrations saw Ebenzer off duty, and at the party that was being held in the Hall. He got rather drunk if the hangover the next day was any testament, and found himself waking up with a lovely woman that he didn’t immediately recognise. To say Ebenzer was mortified would be a severe understatement. His apparent lover spent several minutes giggling wildly as she explained that nothing untoward had occurred (Ebenzer quickly realised he was still half dressed) but that he had been an absolute delight drunk, before kissing him on the forehead and slinking off. This didn’t change Ebenzer’s embarrassment all that much.
739.05.28 & 20: Just a few months before his twenty-first birthday, Ebenzer found himself at Ista Weyr, assisting with the Healers assigned to the Hatching. It was his first one, and Ebenzer was honestly absolutely thrilled to be taken along, and awed by the whole event - at least until the murderous Dragonets began their rampage. The fun event soon became obvious as to why the Healers were called in, and Ebenzer was quickly covered in blood and issuing orders to the healers that were working under him on his little team. Attempting to clean up the murdered girls and bring them off the Sands, Ebenzer was absolutely horrified/floored when a little green dragonet pressed her pretty little head against his hand, completely ensnaring his attention, his heart, and his soul in one instant of whirling brilliant eyes.
740.05.28 & 21: The first year of his life as the bonded of a dragon comes to a close and Eb’zer is no less enchanted by his little lady, but he is also rather disillusioned, too. Dragonriding is hard and he’s never done so much physical work in his life! Now, though, after hearing that Fort Weyr negotiated to enrol their candidates and riders into the Hall he came from, Eb’zer is determined to transfer to Fort upon graduation - he’s even already submitted his papers! Thus far, Zellekath hasn’t Flown, but Eb’zer knows its only a matter of time, now...

Dragon
 
Dragon Name: Zellekath
  Name Pronounced: ZELL - ee - CATH
Dragon Colour: Green
Wing Assigned: Weyrling
  Wing Rank: Weyrling

Hatching Date: 28.05.739 AL
Birthing Weyr: Ista
Home Weyr: Ista
Clutch Name: Dawn Delights
  Clutch Mother: Gold Nadioth
  Clutch Father: Bronze Rhezalth
 
Appearance:
  Length: 27'
  Height: 13'5
  Wingspan: 43'
  Scars & Markings: TBA
  Weyrlinghood: Zellekath hatches as a plump, round little green the colour of tropical forestry. Her hide is deep green, with a tinge of blue that gives it a vibrance and depth. Her wings are swirled with a soft, minty colour that appears bright against her otherwise deeper coloured body. Her colour is not uniform, however, but rather a cross hash of various shades.

  Adulthood: Maturing slowly, Zellekath doesn’t begin to really start seeing the adult hide changes until she’s in her twelfth month, and her colours don’t complete their change until she’s in her fifteenth month and graduating as an adult dragon. Once her change is complete, however, Zellekath hasn’t gained any new colours, so much as just a new arrangement.

The tops of her wings have darkened slightly, and while her head and upper neck have retained her original darker shade of green, the bulk of her body and her tail have paled considerably – they are now coloured that soft minty colour, speckled throughout with the deeper green. Oddly, her lower legs have collected what looks like splashes of almost-white across them, as if someone has flicked paint at her.

In build, Zellekath is chunkier than the average green, not so much because she’s roly-poly and overweight, but because she’s simply not designed with the thin, wafer lines of many of her colour-sisters. Rather, in fact, she looks similar in build to an average brown, with a wide chest, muscular legs, and a powerful hindquarter. While she is neither here-nor-there in terms of overall size, Zellekath’s build has helped her fall solidly into the ‘stamina’ grouping, and far less the ‘fancy flier’ grouping.

Mindvoice: Zellekath has a cheerful voice, set in the low register that doesn’t grate on the mind – for which Eb’zer is very grateful!

General Character Traits: Zellekath is a shining beacon of joy and optimism in a rolling sea of emotional classmates. She sees the bright side of every occasion, every event, every moment. There are no storm clouds in Zellekath’s life, and there likely never will be.

Habits/Mannerisms: Zellekath likes to sing, vocally. She hums, chirps, squeaks, barks, any sound in any order that creates a ‘song’, which she often adds words to mentally, in a voice she broadcasts just loud enough to be heard by anyone that listens but isn’t quite loud enough to be overly annoying to anyone out there.

Likes:
  Puzzles: Zellekath loves puzzles! She’s found that Eb’zer is absolutely filled puzzles and games, and while it has taken them quite a while to figure out how to not accidentally mind-share the answers, Zellekath has developed a habit of asking Eb’zer unique questions, or prompting him to create a riddle for her to solve.
  Eating Flowers: Dragons are carnivores, granted, but Zellekath has taken a fancy to eating flowers. Her favourites are sunflowers, with all their seeds and bright yellow petals. Some flowers she’s tried have been rather disgusting and she spits them out right away, others have been tasty, but nothing beats sunflowers!
  Like 3:

Dislikes:
  Eb’zer’s Conflict : Zellekath knows that Eb’zer doesn’t regret her decision to Impress to him, or feel in any way that he’s unhappy with their bond. What she doesn’t like, though, is the way he feels conflicted and confused about his future. He has always known who he is and what he will be; her Impression to him changed that, not for the worse, but the change is new to him. Zellekath does her best to help him move through his conflict and focus on each of their milestones as a pair.

  Dislike 3:

Strengths:
  Cheerful: Zellekath is a cheerful creature, and this is echoed through all her actions and her general day to day life. Her eyes are far more often coloured with the positive emotions she experiences each day, and her voice is like the soft bubble of a brook through the forest; low, calming, and filled to the brim with basic joy that comes from being alive and taking part in every moment of every day.

RP Sample
 
Eb’zer gave a cheer, laughing joyfully as Zellekath trilled, swooping left and right through the air. They had been flying together for a while now - they were almost free of their Weyrlinghood - but Eb’zer was sure he would never be used to the sensation of freedom, the wind and the sun and the beautiful, wonderful love he felt from the young green dragon carrying him so securely through the sky.

Throwing up his arms with another whoop, Eb’zer and Zellekath spun in the air, the straps holding the young man securely to his dragon, and they turned towards the coastline, gliding joyfully low over the water. Several ship fish took to leaping below them, and Eb’zer peered over the side to watch them, leaning down and reaching out as if he could touch the strange, grey creatures.

Eb’zer gave a laughing yelp when Zellekath spun around, so she was upside down, and he reached with both hands to touch the shipfish, almost, almost, before Zellekath righted herself and they glided in, the sands of the beach flying around in little whirlwinds as Zellekath landed with a flutter of her graceful green wings.

His dragon’s sudden trill as he was unstrapping himself to slide off, had Eb’zer looking up in curiousity; not far away, he spotted A’tay and his bronze, and Eb’zer waved to his younger classmate. The boy was quiet, intelligent, and disinclined to ask stupid questions. Eb’zer liked him, and his dragon, who seemed to like well enough Zellekath and her constant singing.

History
 
  {{{** FAMILY RANKS ** Please keep in mind that Weyrbrats are bred (usually) from dragonriders and Lower Cavern folk; they are not craft educated and generally have an abundance of half-siblings. Stolen Crafters are almost always going to be the eldest or second eldest son that was of a well to-do family in order to pay for their Education. Almost no dragonriders EXCLUDING Katilan Impressed will have a Craft education. A detailed explanation will be needed for those that are. Only one in a blue moon women are passed on to the Craft Halls, and those that are very rarely make it beyond Sr. Apprentice, even in women friendly crafts. Please remember that it is YOUR character that is allowed to be special, not the entire family!}}}

Pern has a high infant mortality rate. Keep this in mind. Most families will produce 4-6 children, of which maybe half will make it to adulthood. Most Pernese die between 50 and 70 if they hold ranking or 'cushy' positions in life. Low ranking peasants and the like are more inclined to die in their late 40's due to the harsher lifestyle they lived. Dragonriders average about 100 years, and have a slowed rate of aging. A LOT of women die in childbirth, especially with their first child, or if they are old and still falling pregnant. It is considered a sin for Hold and Hall women to abort, and even Weyr women are frowned upon, as all children are needed.
Past Lovers/Partners:  Only important ones are required.
Current Lovers/Partners: If Applicable.
Children: Almost all characters over the age of 18 that are not virgins waiting to be married, should statistically have at least one child. Without a good explanation, we will be hesitant to accept any character over the age of 25 that has NOT got at least one child running around somewhere. Holderfolk are often married by the time they are 18, and Weyrfolk often flight moth. Children are not required to be RP'd, or even acknowledged during RP. We simply heavily encourage your character to have contributed to the population at some point.

History
 
  {{{** FAMILY RANKS ** Please keep in mind that Weyrbrats are bred (usually) from dragonriders and Lower Cavern folk; they are not craft educated and generally have an abundance of half-siblings. Stolen Crafters are almost always going to be the eldest or second eldest son that was of a well to-do family in order to pay for their Education. Almost no dragonriders EXCLUDING Katilan Impressed will have a Craft education. A detailed explanation will be needed for those that are. Only one in a blue moon women are passed on to the Craft Halls, and those that are very rarely make it beyond Sr. Apprentice, even in women friendly crafts. Please remember that it is YOUR character that is allowed to be special, not the entire family!}}}

Took part in a Pern character swap~ This is the boy I got and his pretty green.
Not 100% sold on his honorific (Ei'de) but looooove the pair so much. Can't wait ot play them >:D

Name: Ei'de (formerly Eimyrede) [alternatively, E'myre, or whatever you'd like. Hahaha]
Nicknames: Red, Rede, Em, Mary (teehee)

Age: 24 (born early winter, turn)
Played by: Eka Darville (Alternatively, maybe Alfred Enoch)


[Image: rc8iO1.png]

Appearance
Eyes: Ei'de's narrow eyes are an expressive dark brown in color. They're a little small for his face, but often warm and welcoming to any who meet his gaze. His eyebrows tend to have a mind of his own, bushy and thick when he doesn't trim them, but Zuri isn't afraid to compare them to forests, so he does what he must.

Hair: He has dark brown hair that has a curly life of its own. He tries to keep it cropped shorter, but doesn't like to have a clean shaven head. He will deal with helmet hair, thank you very much! Humidity has it puffing like a sunflower searching for sunlight, and honestly, it doesn't bother Ei'de in the least. It has character… It's also just hair.

Height: He stands a little shorter than the average pernese man at 5'9" (1.75m).

General Appearance: In his eyes, Ei'de is just the average man on Pern trying to make his way through the world. He isn't particularly bulky; he isn't particularly thin. He just is. Oh, he could complain that his nose is a little big, and his ears are a little small, and his toes look a little stubby with the size of his feet, but they're not what make him who he is. They're just a part of him, and he doesn't give it much more thought than that.

He's never been a lazy man, and he keeps himself in some form of shape. He does have a dragon to take care of, after all, and he can't be letting himself go when he has her to take care of. He is a very hard worker, and the work that he's done throughout his life have already made his hands dry and calloused. His fingers are long and nimble. He has a strong back and good legs. He really doesn't believe that he has anything to complain about.

His body has some small scars on his hands and arms from accidents in weyrlinghood. Zuri got a little enthusiastic once while eating and he almost lost his little finger. At least it's a good story to tell around the fire! Aside from that, nothing out of the norm for children that lived a little rough and wild, and a childhood well lived.

Dressing style: When it comes to clothes, Ei'de isn't picky. He wasn't born in a place where he had the luxury to want for a lot or better, and being the fifth boy in his family, hand-me-downs were mostly all he owed. A good pair of shoes that were his first were a real treat, and he was very careful to take care of them.

In terms of how he dresses, Rede generally goes for practical over flashy. Whenever he tries to dress formally, something is usually out of place, or the colors clash, and honestly, he's given up on trying. Who cares if that shirt doesn't fit with those shoes? The shirt is nice, the shoes are nice, the pants are in good shape. Three nice things should fit together, shouldn't they?

Mostly, he follows the rules that his mother drilled into his head when he was a child. His clothing has to have been washed recently. Stains happened on the farm, and his clothes don't need to be pristine, they just still have to be a shirt. If he suddenly has a hole for a third arm, it has to go. If they're picked up from the floor, they at least have to be free of yesterday's food and smell passable. If it's rank enough to make Carenath keel over, another shirt is in order!

A shirt, a good pair of pants, and comfortable boots are his go to everyday wear.


Personality
General character traits: In Ei'de's eyes, he's simply your average guy. He's no better or no worse than anyone else and he doesn't like putting himself on a pedestal. There are always people who will do better things than him, and there are people who do worse. Frankly, he's quite okay with being average and doesn't really know how to deal with anyone trying to tell him otherwise. He is an extremely humble person when it comes to his own skills. He's that friendly neighbour next door that feeds your dog when you're out of town, and he doesn't really want for more than that. Where some of this might be a slight lack of self-confidence, the rest is because he believes he is very comfortable in who he feels who he is at this point in his life, that he's in no rush to step into someone else's spotlight. He excels instead at recognizing the strengths of others, instead of the strengths in himself.

Ei'de is equally as laid back as he is hardworking. When it's time to work, he puts his nose to the metal, and when it's time to have fun, he doesn't sweat the small stuff. He's one of those reliable sorts that will always show up, even if he shouldn't, even if that means that his current partner is going to throw him in the doghouse. He gave his word, and maybe that's sort of a small Hold mentality, but it means something to him!

While Rede does well in most situations where he can keep his head down and work, he struggles a little with social interactions. He isn't an introvert by any means, and he isn't the strong silent type at all, but the greenrider does tend to speak first and think about what he said later. He'll backpedal like there's no tomorrow, and he's always quick with an apology or a comment to try and correct his meaning, but sometimes he does fumble about. This only gets tragically worse whenever he's trying to flirt or talk to someone he finds attractive. Did he really just say their face looked good? Yup. And when he wanted to compliment their eyes, he said their arms where nice. Great! He's starting off real strong here. The fact that his ears then start to burn and he suddenly finds his shoes very interesting doesn't make any of this easier. Fortunately, he is quite able to take it all in stride and adjust with a quick laugh and a "let's start over". Perhaps Zuri has put him on the spot one too many times. Perhaps he's decided that it's just how it's going to be, whatever the case, he doesn't linger on it, despite the burning in his cheeks.

Despite not wanting to be in the spotlight, Ei'de can't resist the call of adventure or being swept up in other's ideas. He is very easy to drag along with whatever idea that people have, and even if it turns out to be a terrible idea, if it does no harm, he's along for the ride either way! What is there to lose by going? He knows that he might regret sitting out though, and that's more important. Besides, what's a little trouble among friends?


Habits/Mannerisms: Ei'de runs his hands through his hair a lot when he's uncertain or embarrassed. If the embarrassment is really bad, he'll smile crookedly and find either the ceiling or the floor extremely interesting all of a sudden.


Likes:
The beach - he always worked and grew up on the farm, that being near a large expense of water was such a privilege. It used to be a treat since traveling was rough when he was young, but now he loves the smell, the feel of the sand between his toes, and sun on his face.

Fresh bread - it's that memory of going home without being there. Just a warm fond memory of his childhood of walking through the door to his mother's baking. He particularly loves the smell of sweet rolls, but any warm bread-like smell is just as enjoyable.

Music, art, entertainment - If they tell a story, he's interested. He learned about the world through stories and he loves how they just take him away. He can appreciate all the different aspects of art, and takes a genuine passion in it. There's just something about seeing an expert in their field that he can't get over.

Dislikes:
Creepy crawlies - He's not really a fan of anything that creeps or slithers. He grew up on a farm, so he's used to seeing them, but if he can avoid it, he totally will. He's very glad that he got beyond the stage of yelling when a spinner dropped down on his head.

Thunder and lightning - It's the lightning more so than the thunder, but wherever there's thunder, there tends to be lightning. When he was a kid, he had a near accident with lightning striking near where he stood as he left his home. He felt the lingering electricity and it was enough to shake him to his core. He will usually try not to fly if there's a storm unless he has to, and will excuse himself if he feels himself getting jittery because of thunder. He's definitely pretty shy about his fear.

Confrontation - Not that anyone likes confrontation, but he particularly dislikes it. It puts him on edge, makes his get snappy and petty. In an ideal world, no one would be fighting, and while he's well aware that's not the case, if people could just keep that stuff quiet or between themselves, he'd appreciate it. While he's really fairly even keel, he tends to back out and let people deal with their anger alone and come back to talk once they're done. He'll do what he feels he has to if he has to, but that's his first choice.

Strengths:
Observant - He is very watchful, and he picks up on more than he gives himself credit for. He isn't the brightest crayon in the box sometimes, but he has a good eye for noticing what people are good at, or if he should approach someone gently, or if he can be a bit louder and rambunctious. It helps him adapt to a situation.

Bulletproof - He's not someone to get stressed out and choke up very easily. Sure he doesn't like confrontation and can be a little cold from it, but he doesn't lose his temper easily, and if shit hits the fan, he'll try and think of what he can do instead of focusing on what he can't.

Listener - He's that ear that people can prattle on to for as long as they need. He might not always agree, but he will listen and once you've had your say, he'll try and offer how he sees things from his point of view. It's not always the best advice, it's pretty hit or miss, but he will make sure that people know that they're heard. He'll even crawl out of bed in the middle of the night if it's needed.

Flaws:
Gullible - While he isn't always overtly gullible, he does try to take people based on their word and that will sometimes leave him with hurt feelings or being hoodwinked by someone. He will bend backwards to make people happy and it occasionally results in him resenting that trait in himself when he finds out someone played him for a fool.

Hopeless Romantic - Another not strong flaw, but Ei'de is attracted to people rather easily. He has a type and when he sees it, he goes a little mushy. It tends to result in him making a fool out of himself and then having to recover from it, but at least he always has a unique ice breaker!

Hardheaded - When he knows a way of doing something, he tends to trust and believe in his way over an idea that someone else has. He's a stickler for habit and can sometimes be a little dismissive until proven that he's wrong multiple times. This also comes in terms of accepting help or asking for it when he thinks that he should be able to do it on his own. It's a problem, and it causes more ruffles than it smoothes, which doesn't help the situation from escalating over time.

Insecure - When it comes to him stepping in the spotlight, or making that commitment to someone else, Ei'de is going to get cold feet more than he steps up and does it. It's not usually the big situations, but the more personal ones that will leave him on his own. He'll let his person of interest go with someone else instead of saying that he loved them. He'll not step up for that wingsecond rank even though he knows what he's doing and Zurinath believes them more than capable. It's that fear of failure or letting people down, and he swallows it and hides it with the best of his ability. He's a simple holder boy… Who is he to want to be a hero?


History

Father: Eimarril
Mother: Talyrede
Siblings:
Taril (brother, +6)
Teirede (brother, +5)
Allyr (brother, +3)
Eilyde (brother, +2)
Lyredere (sister, -3)

Past lovers: [Person 1] - crush when he was a child. They held hands!
[person 2] - slightly more serious, but it was a whirlwind and then it was over.

Background story:
  • Born and raised in a small farm on the outskirts of a minor Hold. He was the 5th child, and the last boy born, followed by his sister three turns later. He was close to his siblings (as close as he can get, at least), and had a generally pretty regular childhood. Got into trouble, played some pranks, teased his sister, complained when she got all new clothes and he got Eilyde's hand me downs, but started to learn to appreciate what he had when he was 7 and they went through a bad harvest and they had to tighten their belts.
  • He was 9 when he was nearly struck by lightning. He was outside playing in the field. It struck the tree near him, but he was close, very close. It left a mark, and for a while as a kid as soon as the temperature started to drop on a hot day, it was enough to make him go home. Oh, he'd joke about the experience, but it wasn't something he ever really talked to anyone about. He didn't want to be teased.
  • Crushed on a [person] when he was 12. Tried to be smooth. Was really not smooth. "Your face looks nice." Didn't win them over, but his blushing meant that they held hands. Score!
  • He was 15 when he was [action] for the Weyr. His time there was very different than what he was used to, but he made do.
  • Impressed Zurinath at 17. She stumbled out of her shell, tormented some of the weyrlings, and then almost threw herself into his lap because he dared to be looking at a bronze instead. She wanted none of that.
  • Weyrlinghood was… difficult. Zuri is a handful, and she's such a whirlwind and he's adjusting. Also, she's terrible and he doesn't know how to live with her. He has a harder time adapting to the dragon in his head than he should, but he gets it eventually.
  • Graduates somewhere in the middle. Not at the top with distinction, not the last to be tapped into a wing, he really shouldn't complain but there was this tiny part of him that had hoped that dragonrider would be so easily like it was in the songs.
  • Crushed on [person 2] at 21. Thought he was doing really well until he realized that Zuri wasn't helping him get the girl but making him make a fool of himself. The relationship didn't last long once they started dating a turn later, but he now knew the extent that his dragon would go through.

Her wings have dark splotches around their extremities with a splattering of a seafoam-creamy green on top. If one looks closely enough, there is a soft light green speckling in her wings, and she has a few light freckles beneath both of her eyes. Her ridges are the same pale color as the freckles beneath her eyes.
Weyrlinghood: As a hatchling, Zurinath wasn't the most elegant looking of dragons. She had a stubby tail, large headknobs, small nostrils, and feet about two sizes too large. The only thing slightly proportionate to her size were her wings. While some dragons even out throughout their growth, Zurinath's growth spurts were in bits and bobs here and there, uneven and ungainly. She was a chubby little dragon that only a mother could love, and truly an ungainly sight, but she strutted as if she was the best thing since pockets.
Adulthood: As she finished growing, Zurinath never quite grew into all her limbs. Her legs were long and spindly, making her rather tall for her color range, with delicate ankles and rather large feet. Her length was almost all in her body, with her tail being rather shorter than expected. Her wingspan stretched above what was proportionate for her length. She has long headknobs, and sharp features along her face. She is a fairly sturdy built green, though her wings show that she's a sprinter and not a marathon flier. Her ridges are slightly elongated and all together she looks a bit like a pin cushion, and she has the attitude to prove it.

Mindvoice: Zurinath has a very soft lilt to her cadence. Her voice is generally soft, like someone trying to wrap you up in silk, though it feels a bit like a bucket of cold water when she's mischievous. While she's normally soft spoken, she isn't afraid to turn the volume on max and have a good time. She's very bubbly when excited, and can sound a bit like nails on chalkboard when furious, but all in all, she's like a background noise that people can't quite help but focus on.

General character traits: If Zurinath could describe herself as one thing, it's bored. She's as smart as a whip with absolutely nothing to turn her attention on, so instead, she turns her attention to mischief. And the subjects? Oh, just the people, and dragons around her, and most definitely Ei'de. The trouble she causes is all mostly harmless, telling candidates scary (and fake) stories about the Weyr, stealing another dragon's herdbeast, dropping a few tunnelsnakes into that other rider's weyr. It's all meant in good fun. She's a dragon meant to be kept busy rolling around with very little to do outside of her training.

She's notorious for getting into everyone's personal space, and she likes to drape herself over other dragons or rest her chin on a person's head, when they're nearby. She's terribly nosey, but it's mostly from the fact that she takes an interest in any little tidbit that people will give her. The more interesting it is, the better it is. She's a sweet talker when there's something that she wants, and she's absolutely shameless about it.

She is a very hardworking dragon, and she has more ambition than she knows what to do with. The skies aren't her limits in her mind, and she'll do whatever it takes to get there.

When it comes to her rider, however, she's terrible. Not in the mean kind, but rather in a way that she finds entertaining. She has her rider's keen observation, but instead of fumbling with words, for Zurinath it comes easily, and with great power comes great opportunities at tormenting her poor bonded. When Rede tries to talk to cute people, Zurinath is always there with a wonderful opportunity. Struggling with a word, call her punctual! Is she questioning your compliment, why not say you meant plucky? When Rede does catch on that she's not being helpful at all, she'll gleefully cackle away into her corner.

She's just as likely to help him as she is to get him to blush, and it's all just in good fun for her. It's not her fault that he struggles to think on his feet, because she most certainly can!
  • "You're ...."
    -punctual!-
    "Punctual!"
    "Punctual?"
    -Plucky!-
    "Plucky--- HEY."

    -Oh! Oh! Oh! Tell her that her eyes are like starlight.
    "You're eyes are light starlight."
    -And her hair is like hay!-

Habits/Mannerisms: When she thinks she's being hilarious (which when is she not?), she has this loud, physical obnoxious laugh. It's a mixture between a bark and a honk-like hiccup, and if she finds something even more amusing, she'll start snorting and start cackling with high pitch noises.

She also has a habit of staring at people when she's trying to decide whether or not they're worth her time. She'll occasionally tilt her head from side to side but she does look like she's looking down her nose at you.


Likes:
Bubblypies - Especially the blueberry kind. Zuri has a sweet tooth a mile long, even though she tries to decline it. Bubbly pies are some of her favorite treats and it's definitely anyone's way to get out of her pranking you when she's planning something.

Drills - She loves working almost as much as she loves bubblypies. Give her a task, and she'll set herself to a job as fast as a whirlwind and leave nothing in her wake. She is extremely goal focused and doesn't like to be without anything to do.

Snowfall - There's something captivating about the way the snow falls, and how the flakes dance and twirl in the air. Whether it's because winter tends to be her moment of zen, a good storm (even heavy rain will do) enrapts her and allows her to be still for a little while. They're especially her favorite times when it's her and her rider sitting at the edge of their weyr watching the world around them.

Dislikes:
Bathes - Unless there's an itchy spot in her hide, Zurinath finds them to be a waste of time. She's expected to just stand there and let it happen? So very boring. She doesn't mind being dirty, and she will show anyone who has anything to say about it where to shove it. They can kiss her tailfork for all she cares.

Perfume and strong smells - She can deal with a herdbeast carcass; she's a dragon, it smells like food! But when people start laying on strong perfumes or someone is cooking numbweed or boiling fellis, it's guaranteed that she's nowhere to be found downwind of that. It reeks. She can smell it for days. She'll make sure you know about it too!

Gathers - While it can be a good thing because it brings new people with new stories, most of the time, Zurinath finds them to be an absolute drag. Dragons can't mingle among the people in the crowd. People don't sneak her bubblypies. Instead, it's a few hours where Rede demands that she stays out of trouble. It only gets exciting for her if he tries to flirt.

Strengths:
Ambitious - Strong willed, ambitious there is very little that this green doesn't want to achieve. Her ambition gives her not only the skills to keep pushing to be better, but also the tools to recognize where she might make some mistakes. However, she's not sure if she would be satisfied if the world was hers… What would she want then?

Outspoken - If Zurinath has something to say, she's going to make sure that you hear it. Normally she'll say something thoughtful, or an idea that she's been ruminating on for hours. Other times, expect her just keeping herself busy… And perhaps at your expense!

Calculating - She has good wits about her, and she tends to know when she's pushing her limits. While most of this applies to people and other dragons, this can also be turned to tactical calculations when in drills and in threadfall. Her mind buzzes a hundred miles a minute. It's almost a shame that she's limited by her dragon's mind capacity.

Flaws:
Dismissive - It's Ei'de that's more of the bleeding heart. Zuranith is really only out there with an interest in her, her rider, and perhaps her wing. She's a team player when she has to be, but if someone gets their feelings hurt because of something she said, she's not likely to be apologetic about it.

Covetous - While it goes hand in hand with ambition, Zuranith wants so many things that she can't have. Some of it is materialistic. She enjoys having pretty things, but understands that Ei'de can't afford them. Other times, it's wanting the ranks that people have, the liberties that people have, and sometimes in the quieter parts of her mind, she'd wish that perhaps Ei'de had a bit more ambition of his own.

Wild - Zuri is a handful, of that there's no doubt. When she sets her mind on something, she's a force of nature, but it also means that she's hard to hold back if she's going off course. She can be a valuable asset, but she can also be a timer counting down to some sort of disaster. She's listends best when you've earned her trust, but until then, reining her in is part of the problem.

Little Miss Kalea
Weyrfolk
[Image: 763128_v9_bb.jpg]
Isabela Moner
Important Details
Original Name: Kalea
Pronounced: KAH-lay
Nicknames: Lay

Primary Rank: Drudge, Servant, Weyrfolk!
Secondary Ranks: Little Miss

Place of Birth: Nabol Hold
Date of Birth: 10.01.726
Searched By: N/A - D'hys of blue Zeianth arranged her move from the household of Jalazmar and Xyliah to Ista Weyr though
Searched Date: 23.08.740 (moved to Ista)

Partner: N/A
Appearance
[Image: crop.php?r=wNWmPUcVNIGeQwP2g59YWLK_iOOZP...EjFLuuWy2-]
Eyes: Deep, rich brown with amber highlights whenever she is in the sunlight; a lack of natural light makes her eyes appear to be almost black. Almond shaped, Kalea's eyes are thickly lashed, and her eyebrows are delicate and naturally arched.

Hair: Dark brown, her hair highlights naturally in the summer sun to have golden strands flecked throughout. The length varies, from short and scruffy through to long.

Height: 5'7 at full growth

General Appearance: Kalea has a soft, curvy body for such a young teenager; she'd not hippy or busty, but all of her limbs are soft and full, promising a cuddly young woman when she reaches her full growth. As she grows, she'll maintain the soft curves and plush build. She'll never be particularly chunky, but she also will never have the fit and almost muscular build of many of the women of the Weyr.

Kalea has a rounded face, with a cute little nose, and full lips. Her skin is a soft bronze colour, that deepens as she spends more time in Ista Weyr, where the sunshine is bright and easy to come by. While she has a couple of freckles scattered here and there, she doesn't have enough to really call attention to the fact.

A wide smile, that easily captures attention and shines brightly, Kalea considers it her best feature. She has nice teeth, white and naturally straight. She takes good care of them. Her hands and feet are small, and she considers both her fingers and her toes to be somewhat stubby. She doesn't mind the stubby toes, but wishes her fingers were long and elegant like Lady Xyliah's, or pretty Mylorah's.

Dressing Style: As a drudge, Kalea wore whatever her master's chose for her, which was usually something functional, marked with their badge, and Kalea has no desire to ever go back to such outfits (if they can be called that!)

As a servant of Lord Jalazmar and Lady Xyliah, Kalea had a suitable wardrobe of work clothing that she found a lot more suitable in general -- but what she really loved were the dresses that Lady Xyliah gave her and her sisters to wear when they visited with F'drel or when they were taken along to Gathers or down to the Markets.

With a taste for such outfits gifted to her, Kalea took a shine to beautiful dresses, delicate shoes, and clothing that was much less functional but made her feel like a beautiful Lady (even though she'd never be an actual Lady!). She adores bright colours, even though they're the more expensive, and saves her marks up obsessively so that she can afford new ones for all the big events!

Personality
[Image: ao9yo2no.jpg]
General Character Traits:

Habits/Mannerisms: Kalea has a habit of pouting when her siblings don't do what she wants, or to try and win her way. Often it works, but she learned young not to try it on non siblings.


Opinions: These can be kept short and sweet; a sentence will suffice.
Threadfall Theory: Thread Fell during the following Turns;
First Fall: 8 to 58 AL
Second Fall: 258 to 308 AL
Third Fall: 508 to 558 AL
Fourth Fall is due to begin in 758 AL

Past Lovers/Partners: N/A
Current Lovers/Partners: N/A
Children: N/A
Background Story:
730.xx.xx: Little brother Kitelan is born. Kalea isn't particularly thrilled at not being the doted upon baby any longer, but at least she's still the youngest girl.
731.xx.xx: Mama dies, and Kalea finds out just how fragile life is, and how fragile her way of life is. Its a heavy lesson for a child of five.
732-738: Honestly, nothing much happened in Kalea's life here; she went about being a child as often as she could get away with it, and acted like a shadow the rest of the time, cleaning up and doing her chores and trying very hard not to be noticed by those that shouldn't notice her.
739.04.22: Kelikki went ahead to move in with lord Jalazmar and lady Xyliah, whom they were told they would now be serving. Kalea was spectacularly not thrilled by this, but kept her opinions to herself, at least, when it wasn't something already being discussed in hushed whispers between the elder girls.
740.01.10: Kalea turns fourteen! She finds it to be the best birthday! Lady Xyliah buys her a special present (a really cute pair of shoes, that match Kalea's best gather dress!) and Miss Yanzi takes her out to breakfast, while they do morning chores, and gets her sweet treats as a gift, and endless chatter. Kalea really likes Yanzi, she's nice and treats her like she's a grownup!
740.08.21: Kalea and her sisters learn that they will be moving to Ista Weyr where F'drel is stationed! Kalea has mixed feelings about it; she's really enjoyed living with Lord Jalazmar and Lady Xyliah and Miss Yanzi; she would be more excited, but Kalea is very good at eavesdropping and she knows Kitelan won't be coming with them, and she heard Kelikki fighting to stay, too. She also heard Lady Xyliah being very upset at all of them going at all, and that made Kalea feel loved in a way she hadn't expected!
Year & Age:
Education
Craft: N/A
Specialty:

Education Details: Grudgingly allowing F'drel's latest friend to try to teach her to read, write and do basic math. She does not enjoy any of these things and is quite stubborn. She usually only sticks with one teacher for about two or three weeks before avoiding them until F'drel finds someone else to toss her at.


RP Sample
740.07.17 – Time Of My Life
5 PM

Kalea was having the best time! She’d spent the morning with her sisters, trying on dresses and occasionally begging Kelikki to buy her a treat. Sometimes she would, but mostly she said no. Kalea thought that was incredibly unfair, since at least a quarter of the marks Kelikki held were hers, and she should get to spend them on whatever she fancied, but she didn’t say anything. That was a battle Kalea knew she wouldn’t win, and she didn’t feel like being scolded. Instead, she focused on finding the best dress, even when all three of the others had found theirs. Maleah and Ferra were allowed to go dancing, and Kalea dragged Kelikki off to yet another stall. It was well after lunchtime when she finally found the right one. And even though Kelikki didn’t think it was entirely proper, Kalea figured she was so sick of waiting for Kalea to try them on, that she bought it without a fight.

The dress was light, summery, and fell to Kalea’s mid-calves, which she thought was a perfectly respectable length. It was probably the fact that it had weird flowy sleeves that were split so they fell down each side of her shoulder that Kelikki didn’t really like; not at all functional, after all. But Kalea didn’t want it to be functional. She wanted it because it was brightly coloured – a shocking combination of sunny yellow, with splashes of emerald green and sapphire blue and a beautiful purple thread doing elaborate hemming. Kalea thought it was gorgeous! She thought she just had to look amazing in it, even though she couldn’t see herself, since no one brought mirrors down to the stalls. Not that Kalea expected them to, but it would have been nice to twirl around in the sunshine and watch her reflection dance.

With the dress sorted – and Kalea in it, because why wouldn’t she immediately wear it?! – Kelikki declared they were going to find the other girls and have some lunch. Kalea went along happily, at least until they’d all eaten. After that, she’d finally managed to beg a couple of marks off Kelikki and with the promise of re-joining her elder sisters at the dancing stage when she’d spent the money. Beaming, Kalea had given Kelikki a hug before vanishing into the crowds of people, skipping joyfully and deciding almost immediately that she wouldn’t spend all of her marks for as long as possible!

That, of course, was several hours ago. At least two, possibly more! Not that Kalea was taking note; she was to busy bouncing from stall to stall making friends, her bright and bubbly laughter flowing as easily as her skipping steps and cheerful greetings. Kalea was making friends, too! Not, friends her own age. But the old lady with all the knitwear was sweet and she’d given Kalea a tour of her items and explained all about how she made them! Kalea thought knitting was insanely boring, but the old lady was just too precious and she’d been so excited to tell someone about her work that Kalea just couldn’t make her sad by walking away!

So that’s where she was, giggling and nodding and bouncing on her toes as the elderly lady held up a heavy winter dress she was selling, describing how she’d done all the different knits and how she dyed the wool hersef, how the goats that produced the wool were special, making it so soft! Kalea had to agree; the dress was ridiculously soft! She’d never felt anything so soft, and since she was wearing her eye-searing colours, the lady hadheld up a brightly coloured dress. Kalea knew there wasn’t a hope in Faranth’s golden name she could afford it, but it was fun to dream of. She was working herself up to asking if she could try it on, even though it wasn’t winter yet and it was way out of her affordability, when someone joined them. Kalea turned, and smiled welcomingly at the other girl…

Cazelarias
Journeyman Leatherworker

[img]URL[/img]
Alex Watson
Important Details
Original Name: Cazelarias
Pronounced: kaz-e-LARE-e-as
Nicknames: Caz, Caze, Cazzy
Note: 'CC' is 'Cazan's Cazelarias' and Caze treats CC as their own entity.

Primary Rank: Journeyman Leather worker
Secondary Ranks: Second Son

Place of Birth: Katz Field Hold
Date of Birth: 14.02.717 AL

Partner: N/A
Appearance
[Image: 350x550]
Eyes: Deep, warm brown. Smallish, thickly lashed, and under extremely expressive eyebrows that are thin-ish, but dark.

Hair: A little past shoulder length, thick and silky, Cazelarias' hair is a pale brown that easily and regularly sun-bleaches to a more blonde tone. He has very little in the way of facial hair, and mostly shaves whatever after a couple of days; he has a great dislike for being hairy, and it impedes his sister's masquerading as him.

Height: 5'10

General Appearance: Cazelarias is a delicate flower of a man; he’s built of a small, lieth body with willowy lines and soft edges. His jawline is his strongest feature, and that leaves a lot to be desired. His lips are on the thin side, his nose slim and almost pointed, and his smallish ears are often hidden behind hair that is just long enough to be tied at the nape of his neck, but rarely is.

At a diminutive 5’10, Cazelarias is of a perfect height for his sister, and linked together with his overall softness, he is often mistaken for the girl. Delicate hands, with fine fingers and clean nails, Cazelarias is fiercely insistent to wearing gloves when he is forced to work leather; meanwhile, his complete lack of facial hair substance adds to the lack of testosterone fuelled masculinity that is generally expected of a Lord’s son.

Dressing Style: Cazelarias only partially plays up the part of being a dandy; the rest of it is completely him. He loves delicate and beautiful clothing, cleanliness, and looking fancy. That said, he still values comfort a great deal, so while all his clothing is tailored to suit his latest desires, it is always very important to him that he can wear those clothing all day and not feel at odds with it.

Loving colours, Cazelarias’ outfits are bright, eye catching, and elegant. He never looks like a rainbow puked on him, but he never dresses in dull colours, or bland designs unless absolutely required – events such as funerals and weddings have him toning down his attire, so as not to call undue attention upon himself (and, in his father’s scowling words, bring gossip raining down upon the family).

Personality
[Image: 350x550]
General Character Traits: Soft and gentle, in words and action, Cazelarias is greatly at odds with the reputation that has been built about him. Portrayed in gossip as a whorish playboy who makes ladies shriek his name and sigh in remembrance, Cazelarias has never slept with anyone, and certainly not a woman. Indeed, for all the things the gossips have to say bout him, Cazelarias is in fact very little of it. He is naturally polite, withdrawn and demure. He is incredibly modest and easy to fluster and quick to blush. He has a wide-eyed innocence about him that is usually written off as a ploy but is in fact very genuine.

Cazelarias is reserved, and it takes a lot to get him to open up, or even get a smile out of him. He has a serious nature, and often a serious expression. He takes everything in stride, and rolls with it and rarely lets anyone – even Cazan – know his true feelings on something – especially if those feelings are of a negative nature. He suffers great anxiety, especially when he is put into situations he didn’t expect or is unsure how to act in. He is no stranger to panic attacks, but one would be shocked to learn such a thing about him.

Slow to trust and quick to withdraw, Cazelarias has never had a close friend, and always felt he neither needed one nor wanted one. He speaks honestly with his sister when he feels the need, but otherwise has a tendency to bottle up his thoughts and emotions. If he can find the time, Cazelarias will sneak out in the middle of the night, climbing up a favourite tree (the only time he risks his precious hands) and whisper all his thoughts, fears and hopes up to the stars in the hopes that they will answer him.

Habits/Mannerisms: Cazelarias has a furrow between his brows that gets plenty of exercise, as he has a tendency to frown when thinking. He almost always has a pair of soft lambskin gloves on him, as Cazelarias hates getting his hands dirty or damaged. He has a habit of tugging on a small lock of hair by his cheek when anxious.

Opinions:
Threadfall Theory: Threadfall doesn’t really impact Cazelarias at this point in time; he doesn’t run his own hold, so the politics aren’t his to worry about, and as he isn’t a dragonrider, its not like he’s going to have to fight the stuff, either.
Stealing/Kidnapping: More politics that Cazelarias doesn’t care about. But honestly, if he was in that kind of position, well, he probably would have done the same thing. Then again, he’s quite a bit better and more intelligent than those feral jungle people, so he likely wouldn’t end up in that situation... Unless Cazan put him there, but that is a whole other nest of Wher eggs.
Weryrleader S'kef: He sounds like the usual folks that claw their way to the top, that have no right to be there. Cazelarias can appreciate the dedication – he uses his to avoid responsibility – but he can also appreciate that people like S’kef keep people like him from having to live up to the responsibility that’s thrust at them.
Firelizards: They look like time and responsibility that Cazelarias doesn’t want. Thanks.
Women's loss of honourifics: N/A
Return North: Well, they certainly make travel a lot more convenient!

Likes:
Beauty: Cazelarias has an eye for, and appreciation of, beautiful things. He loves beautiful clothing, beautiful art, beautiful people. Mostly, Cazelarias enjoys being surrounded by beauty.
Cazan: For all that she has the power - and an unnatural ability - to make his life miserable, Cazelarias adores his sister, and is lonely and anxious without her, though he dose his best not to ever let her know that, or anyone else know it, either.
Knowledge: Cazelarias loves to read, to learn, to explore -- but he likes to do those things without leaving the comfort of his home and his comfortable bed. Cazelarias has a deep love for reading, and will pour over anything he can get his hands on, from the educative texts their Harpers bring into classes, to sneaking into Father's office and reading everything from missives to accounting files. Mostly, Cazelarias spends his time in the family library, which is filled with old, and new, texts that his father has collected over the years.

Dislikes:
Hard Work: It isn't that Cazelarias is too good for it, but rather that it makes him feel dirty and icky. He hates being uncomfortable, and hard work tends to make one sweaty and smelly and icky and Cazelarias just doesn't have the stomach for all that. He has a habit of putting on airs of superiority when dirt, hard work is expected of him, as it has served him well through the years and generally gets him out of it, and someone less particular to do it. Second son privliges and all.
Leatherworking: Cazelarias is actually good at his craft, when he takes the time to do it. Unlike Cazan, who honed her skill through hard work, Cazelarias is naturally talented with leatherworking. But its dirty, difficult, and he has hurt his hands on more than one occasion - and Cazelarias hates cuts and blood! But it was what Father wanted, and so Cazelarias did it. At least until Cazan took to it and he was able to hide away for most of the day, buried in the depths of their personal library.
Playboy Reputation: Cazelarias has a reputation, one created by his sister as she poses as him, that has had Cazelarias out on more dates than there are hours in the day, and Cazelarias hates it. Not that he has ever let anyone know that; the playboy reputation keeps those that are looking to settle down away from him, and it seems to give his parents a weird sort of pleasure that he is 'sewing his oats' or some such nonsense. Cazelarias has never sewn any 'oats'. The fact that he has never slept with any of the women he's taken out on random dates has done nothing to stop them from out-competing one another with wild tales of their exotic sexual encounters with him. Cazelarias has been waiting for years to see who will break the dam first and admit to the deceit. As yet, he's still left in awe of his apparent skills and desirability between the sheets.

Strengths:
Acting: Cazelarias is an excellent actor. He has had years of practice when it comes to pretending he knows someone, said something, did something, went somewhere, etc. As often as not, Cazelarias has absolutely no idea what is going on, or what caused him to end up in Cazan's latest mess, but he has honed the ability to fall into step to a fine art. He is fantastic at leading questions to get the answers he wants, and bluffing his way through conversations on the fly.
Strength 2:
Strength 3:

Flaws:
Confused: Cazelarias has no idea who he is, because he has always been who he needs to be in any given circumstance. He's been acting for so long, he has no idea what it is like to just be himself. Every situation has him carefully analysing what it is that will be expected of him, how CC would act, what CC has already done and why, how, and what it means for him. Cazelarias has been living in CC's shadow for so long, he has never anticipated a life where he could be himself.

Education Details: Cazelarias is a crafter because Father made him take it up; not because he enjoys it or has any flowery ideas of becoming a great Master Crafter or whatnot. He doesn’t enjoy manual labour, even relatively lazy manual labour like leather working. While Cazelarias enjoys the scent of a finished product, he can’t stand the cuts and bruises he's prone to ending up with, and he hates dyes and inks and getting his hands dirty.

Cazelarias doesn’t remember how it came about that Cazan ended up taking his place in his classes, but it did start with her helping him with his assignments, and then doing them for him, and the next thing he knew, she was dressing up as him and going to class. Not that he minds; sometimes it causes some interesting quirks in both their days, but mostly it works for him. He has a faux education, and she has a faux set of knots. Perfect, right?

RP Sample
Cazelarias looked up with a blink at the sound of his name, turning to find the speaker and he tilted his head slightly, offering the smallest of smiles. “Hello,” he greeted, as if he had any idea who the man before him was. He hadn’t been the first person to call out to him, and Cazelarias knew that the greenrider – he spotted the knots after a subtle glance – wouldn’t be the last. While he had no name to go to the friendly face, Cazelarias had been playing the role of ‘Cazan’s Cazelarias’ (also known generically as ‘CC’) for too many years not to settle into the role and go along with the conversation. Something about wineskins and good work and a Hatching? Cazelarias blinked and his brows furrowed as he frowned.

Would he like to go? A small smile tilted one corner of Cazelarias’ lips, and he fell into step with the man as he agreed to go to the Hatching, listening to him babble and picking up the name in the process. It was funny, how regularly people threw their own name into conversations in one manner or another. It had gotten Cazelarias through more strange situation than he cared to admit. When he was presented to the green dragon, it took him a few moments to capture his breath, and Cazelarias was grateful that the rider pawned his awe off as normal behaviour and Cazelarias couldn’t determine if he was supposed to know the shiny creature or not. He opted on the side of caution and greeted the dragon with a kind of reserved respect. He wouldn’t put it past Cazan to be on first name basis with a dragon, but he also wouldn’t put it past her to have never even seen one up front if she was as busy as the man beside him implied with work orders.

Damn it, Cazan.

Cazelarias’ heart was in his throat as he was bundled up on the dragon, the rider trying to help verbally before getting far too handsy for Cazelarias’ taste in assisting him. Of course, to Cazelarias, even a brush of fingers in passing was ‘too handsy’ so a helpful boost was practically the greenrider groping him, as far as the young holder was concerned. Blushing and uncomfortably hot, Cazelarias obeyed orders to hold on, following instruction and squeezing his eyes shut in terror as the dragon sprang into the air, beating her wings to gain altitude and then – with far too little warning from the rider – they were in the darkest, coldest, most terrifying place Cazelarias had ever been in his life, and he sobbed in terror, managing to swallow the sound just before they reappeared above Fort Weyr. The greenrider was kind enough not to comment on the grip of terror Cazelarias had on him.

Almost as soon as he’d disembarked the dragon, Cazelarias had been swept up in the throngs of people who were milling around, rushing to get to their seats. He lost Je-something in the process, glancing anxiously over his shoulder to see where the greenrider had gone. Was that him? It was hard to tell, and he gave up, especially when he realised there were lots of green dragons milling around and he really hadn’t taken enough notice of the green the man had been on to know which one she was… which was a pity, because he had the impression of unrivalled beauty in his mind, but he couldn’t call it forward. His study of her had been too swift, too flooded with awe and the terror of the travel. Cazelarias sighed, and looked over – managing in the process to spot Cazan sitting in the stands, beside a blonde man who was talking to her – the her dressed as him. Cazelarias frowned for a moment, before sliding between a few more people and moving with the flow of the crowd in the other direction. He needed to be far from his sister, but not so far that he couldn’t see her.

In the end, Cazelarias made it a few rows above, and to the side of Cazan and her friend, sitting behind a broad man with a big bushy beard so that he wouldn’t easily be seen by anyone searching the crowd for ‘CC’, and settled in to watch. The gossip around him made his heart flutter with anxiety – deaths? Gore? Dead hatchlings? – he’d never heard such horrible things about a dragon’s birth, and wasn’t sure whether or not he should believe it. But really, he decided, the men who were chatting looked like they knew what they were talking about, and some subtle studying revealed Weyr colours in their knots – Ista and Telgar, if he wasn’t mistaken – but he also heard whispers about the eggs hatching early, and other interesting things. Leaning forward and planting his elbow on his knee so he was completely hidden behind the big man in front of him, Cazelarias listened with a vague expression to the gossip floating around him, trying to learn as much as he could from it.
