Appearance

Eye Colour:

Brown

Height:

6'

Hair Colour:

dark brown

Build:

in shape but soft

General Description:

Gangleri is generally a scruffy man, and even when he manages to slick his wavy hair back he only looks roguish. He always has some sort of facial hair; even when he shaves he quickly develops a noticeable five o'clock shadow before the day is through. He frequently travels and combined with general activity is in rather good shape, though he has a layer of softness that makes him easy and comfortable to cuddle up to. He is stronger than he looks, his hands are hard, and his knuckles scarred.

General Dressing Style:

Gangleri likes to wear fine suits that flatter his form and lend an air of authority if he ever has to speak formally as a Harper. When he's alone or at home he will shed the fancy wear for more casual and comfortable shirts or sweaters. So long as his clothing is not overly bulky and doesn't get in the way of his instruments he is fine.

Personality

Likes:

Flirting - Even if he isn't planning on seducing someone, flirting is always fun. If it makes someone else's day then all the better.
Stories - He loves hearing new stories from people
Performing - Gangleri loves to perform because of the enjoyment that it brings others.
Jokes - Who doesn't love jokes? Only lame people.

Strengths:

Quick thinking
Cool under pressure

Dislikes:

People without a sense of humor
People who hurt animals and children
Strong perfume

Flaws:

Holds grudges
Self critical
Blueberry allergy (hives)

Habits & Mannerisms:

Eternally practicing. He is almost always humming to himself, or tapping his fingers in note or chord patterns. When he's agitated, fiddling his fingers into the shapes of certain songs helps him to remain calm and focused.

General Personality:

Gangleri is an outwardly cheerful and friendly man most of the time, though recently he's become a bit more somber and quiet when not actively engaged in conversation. He is always happy to indulge with a song, music, or story whenever requested and enjoys performing. He is not a shy man, and while he knows not to always share his opinions, he doesn't mind talking about them when asked. He loves to flirt with anyone who he thinks would be receptive to his advances (and even those he thinks he doesn't because it's funny).

721 and 14 - Much to his parents' surprise they are expecting another child; younger brother Geric is born in the summer. Gangleri sings him songs as he helps watch him during his free time, and learns a few silly sleight of hand magic tricks to keep the baby entertained.
723 and 16 - His parents arrange for his engagement to Kathany, the daughter of a master seacrafter who owns multiple ships. Gangleri does not approve of this match, but hopes that maybe she'll grow on him with time. He manages to delay the marriage until after he attains journeyman status.
724 and 17 - Despite his firtatious antics and his general popularity with the ladies, Gangleri remains devoted to his fiance, though he does develop a reputation and quiet rumors begin to swirl about affairs he is supposedly involved in.
725 and 18 - Gangleri's hard work and dedication lead to his Jr. Journeyman knots. His celebration is short lived as he finds himself married to Kathany who he still finds rather dull at best. Rose actively dislikes her, and his new wife demands a horse of her own.
726 and 19 - Kathany becomes pregnant with their first child, the pregnancy is rough and she loses the baby. Gangleri dotes on his wife, trying his best to support her through this rough time.
728 and 21 - Claiming her horse isn't feeling well, Kathany takes Rose out for a ride. The mare breaks her leg and has to be put down. Gangleri replaces her with a young gelding he names Bart and refuses to let his wife take him anywhere alone.

735 and 28 - Becomes Sr. Journeyman, later in the year while traveling he meets Javira, the Lordholder's wife, and falls madly in love with her. They begin seeing each other as regularly as he can manage, using the cover of his tutoring to hide the affair from their spouses.
736 and 29 - He wins a cardgame with a dragonrider and is rewarded with a firelizard egg. He names the brown firelizard Fret and begins to teach him a few tricks to help with his silly magic shows that he mostly still runs for children.
739 and 32 - Kathany confronts him about his infidelity, informing him that she knows about his favorite mistress and demanding that he end his relationship with her. He refuses, instead threatening to divorce her no matter what her family will think.
740 and 33 - Javira falls mysteriously ill and her health begins to decline. Her husband prevents any visits, and eventually she dies. Gangleri is heartbroken, and sure that his wife had something to do with her death.
741 and 34 - His wife has a terrible accident while horseback riding. Despite the best efforts of the healers she dies. Gangleri steps back from pursuing Mastery, saying he is too busy mourning his wife. He begins to travel, trying to find some solace in little adventures.
742 and 35 - An eventful year, Gangleri returns to the Harper Hall and marries Quilriana. He also meets Mylorah who very quickly proves she can capture and manipulate his heart just as easily as his wife. The series of murders in the Weyrs helps fuel the plots of books as well as some plays.

Education

Craft:

Harper

Date(s) Tapped:

718 & 11 - jr apprentice
720 & 13 - sr apprentice
725 & 18 - jr journeyman
735 & 28 - sr journeyman
742 & 35 - master

Speciality:

Acting/Showmanship (formerly espionage)

Strengths:

Excellent at appearing unruffled and unbothered, quite good at improvising and projecting his voice. He's also quite skilled with playing stringed instruments though they aren't his focus of study as a Harper and he mostly just uses them to provide emphasis and background for his performances.

Weaknesses:

Due to his father being a master, he had a lot of pressure on himself to do well enough that he could try to show that he could make it on his own and was not succeeding purely due to nepotism. He's hyper critical of his work, though he hides it well during performances, never letting the audience know when he thinks he did poorly.

Additional Information:

His preferred instrument is a 12 string guitar that he made himself. He is a talented enough singer and player, but is too critical of himself to consider it his true specialty (and there are plenty of Harpers who do specialize in it that truly are better). His love of acting in plays and especially more active scenes such as sword fights is part of what led him to switch his specialties.

Pronounced:

Wing and Rank:

[Select] of

Oncaeth

Adult Stats

35 foot length, 16.5 foot tall, with a 55.5 foot wingspan.

Clutch Details:

Malvayth x Xyxyth at Telgar Weyr on the 03.08.743 [Clutch Page] Theme: Jaguar

Weyrlinghood

Oncaeth is a rather pudgy weyrling when he is hatched, gangly and all legs and wings. His coloration is a green tint bronze with splashes of a brassy, yellow bronze here and there.

Oncaeth

Adulthood

Oncaeth matures into the sleek predator that he is. His pudgy body slims down and his slender body thickens into a solid, muscular appearance. His head is somewhat broad in shape, with headknobs that round out at the tips and are perfectly matched. His wings are powerful and strong. His body is rather proportioned nicely and he’s settled well into his shape. His coloration has shed out the green tinted bronze to that bright, brassy bronze seen splashed throughout and it seems that the green has shrunk into rosettes that drift along his body and halfway down his tail.

Mindvoice

Quiet and raspy, deeper than one might expect even during weyrlinghood.

Personality

Oncaeth is a focused individual, once he has found something that he is interested in it will be extremely difficult for him to deviate from that path. He is a diligent dragon, always taking care when completing the things that he considers his duty or work. He can have a painstaking attention to detail when it comes to this perceived duty. This diligence does not translate to his weyr and often Gangleri will need to have a drudge come and clean the mess that Oncaeth has created.

He can be quite arrogant and pretentious when dealing with those he deems beneath him, even if those are not actually beneath him. He can often look at others with disdain, particularly those who can not seem to grasp instructions given to them in any manner. Oncaeth is a passionate fellow, whether that is the reading he loves or eating with gusto, Oncaeth will always be a rather spirited individual. When he is not enjoying the sunshine or wallowing in some mud, Oncaeth is a vigorous bronze and this is especially true when competing for anything.

Quirks

Quirks: Will lay splayed out in the sun with wings spread.

Likes:
Being read to: Oncaeth loves to be read to and will beg Gangleri to spend as much time as possible reading stories and ballads.

Wallowing in mud: Oncaeth loves to wallow in the mud, he insists it helps shine his hide like oil does.

Swimming: Oncaeth loves to swim and is a very strong swimmer. He loves to play and splash and wrestle while submerged (though he will frequently hop back in the mud after).

The rain: Oncaeth loves the rain. He loves sitting in it, he loves watching it and he loves the sound of it.

Dislikes:
Children: Oncaeth isn’t the biggest fan of children, they are messy and loud and get into everything.

Thunder: He also dislikes thunder on a visceral level. There may have been a time or two in his weyrlinghood that it frighten him enough to be embarrassing.

Pigs: Unless eating them, Oncaeth doesn’t like pigs. He finds them smelly and gross, which is ironic considering he likes to wallowing in the mud.

Strengths:
Focused
Passionate
Diligent

Flaws:
Arrogant
Pretentious
Messy
