Character
Name: Zieve (pronounced Zee-ev)
Rank: Journeyman Harper
Gender: male
Age: 28
Origin: Fort
Appearance: An odd mix between his mother's gracefulness and his father's thicker bone structure, Zieve was a tall awkward child, though not as tall as his father, he stands at 5'11". Though he eventually grew into his long graceful limbs, toned to a near perfect firmness.
His facial features are much the same quality. Almond-shaped eyes home to dark brown eyes in an oval face, often found with a mischievous twinkle in their depths. An aquiline nose with a nicely proportioned bridge, is placed centered over full lips. He is always clean shaven. A strict rule unto himself and always neatly groomed. The near ebony tinted hair, pin straight even on the humidest of climates, is kept neatly cropped above his ears. His skin is tanned to a healthy glow from some hours spent under the sun's rays.
He is often found in Harper colors no matter the occasion, unless of course he needs to blend. He owns a pair of nice blue clothing for Gathers and such other important occasions.
Family:
Natalia (mother)--71~ an aged, yet hardly decrepit woman. She had been quite the beauty of her day; she takes immense care of herself even in her older age, even so her health is slowly declining. Sometimes she is bedridden for days, and others she spends days out in her gardens or in the markets.
Fulvius (Father)--74~ An old man of rapidly declining health that started with his vision depletion, followed by the steady aging of his body. A once strong and proud Glass-smith, the man was greatly daunted and limited once his vision started to go. Now, nearly completely blind, his health is often for the worse.
Riksha (sister)-- 34~ A woman much like her mother, she tries to see the brightest side of life in even the worst scenarios. She is often the one called when their aging parents need assistance. Married to a beastherder with 4 children.
Zaira (sister)--31(deceased)~ A calm, sensitive girl in her youth she grew to love the gardens their mother tended to so diligently and shared the passion. She was the closest to their mother, so unlike her other siblings. She was quick to marry a minor holder in Bitra, though died in the birth of her second daughter.
Kiral (sister)--25~A popular woman in Fort, as she is a current beauty with many a man chasing after her. Unfortunately, she has many more beauty apparatus than brains. Always flirtatious, with no intent to settle. She is always found on the arm of some lucky man.
Seithal (nephew)--10~ son of Riksha
Briston (nephew)--7~son of Riksha
Draxin (nephew)--3~ son of Riksha
Ramira (niece)--1~ daughter of Riksha
Belma (niece)--13~ daughter of Zaira; with much prospect of being every bit as beautiful as her grandmother and aunts.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Personality: Though often termed a cynical man, Zieve has a twisted sense of humor on a good day. His patience is seemingly endless, however, that is a trained trait. He has quite the temper should someone ever succeed in getting him truly riled.
He pays attention to many political aspects of Pern, and may even support them, even if he doesn't agree with them, to spite others. All depends. He's unpredictable on the best of days and unreliable on the worst. He prefers much more calming work and avoids judging and advising if he can. He doesn't see it as shirking his duties, merely putting the things he's good at to better use.
Hobbies/Skills: As a Harper, he naturally has many musical talents, among singing and pipes, he is also fairly artistic. He is able to conjure up a rough sketch from memory should the need arise. He often pays special attention to detail, which makes him a very good observer.
Pets: N/A
History: Born in Fort to Natalia and Fulvius, a third of four children, and the only son. High hopes were set in store for Zieve. Naturally, even though younger, he was expected to look out for his sisters, despite how they treated him. His relationship with his sisters was anything but fantastic.
Though being the single male in the house when his father was away wasn't always pleasant, especially when his mother also wasn't home, he didn't begrudge any of his sisters their feelings. In fact, the way he looked at it, they helped form the person he was to become.
As he started to get older, he helped his mother more, often humming common children tunes, sometimes even singing the lyrics. He was an exceptional singer at a young age. And it was on an adventure to the market with his mother that he'd been overheard and approached by a Journeywoman Harper, dressed in blue. The boy would never ever forget her face, her smile, and the very fact that she'd suggested trying for an apprenticeship. Couldn't hurt to try, could it? His mother had agreed.
After being successfully accepted as an Apprentice, the days seemed to fly by. And he was very glad to be able to get away from the family! He'd often sneak away with other Apprentices for questionable activities, however harmless they seemed. He saw many faces come and go through his years as an Apprentice, some moving up in the ranks, others moving on to pursue different paths, some sent to some other Hold to work under a different Masterharper. He, however, stayed at Fort, working under the same Masterharper, the same journeymen and women.
It seemed it would never end, but then it did. Moving from Apprentice to full-time journeyman was a big step in the right direction for Zieve. He was able to move out from his aging parents into a residence not so far away and thankfully duties piled up to keep him busy. He showed particular art of observation, often noticing his sisters in the market square and being able to continue to watch them unnoticed.
Knowledge was continuous. Learning was continuous. However, Zieve, after he aged a few turns, started to develop theories and motives of his own. Politics were intriguing, yet boring at the same time, so why not add drama to the mix? He slowly developed into the sly Harper he is this day. He's traveled most of the northern continent, gathered information, used it to his own gains, sometimes twisting it to benefit others. However, any true motive to what he gains is yet to be seen...
