Character
Name: Karl
Rank:Journeyman Harper
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Origin: Keroon Hold. (Minor hold on Bitra/Keroon border)
Appearance:
He is 5'6" and has a slim but muscular build.(Like a gymnast) He has blond hair that he prefers to keep short and out of the way. He doesn't have a beard and doesn't seem to be able to grow one. His color of his hair stands out with his relative dark skin color. His green eyes are slanted slightly with his sparse eyebrows above them. He makes a minimum of noise when he moves around, even with his fast stride. His hands show the wear of someone use to working with them.
He is practical in his dress but is almost never seen without a shirt or vest on due to some nasty scars on his back. He received them when he was young from his father. He has a preference for dark blue leather clothing.
Family:
Father: Gavor, 67, Beast-crafter.
(Actual father: Unknown rider from Igen Weyr. Mother never identified him.)
Mother: Nela, deceased, died at the age of 53.
6 Brothers:Zev,47;Marv,44; Rax,40; Del,38; Gar,35; Len,33; all beastcrafters.
Sexual Orientation: Gay
Personality:
Karl tends to try to stay low keyed and laid back most the time. He has distinctly edgy sense of humor that goes rather dark at times. He doesn't show his true feeling often and has trouble making close friends instead of just acquaintances. He tends to attempt to withdraw into the background if he is in an unsure situation. He is more comfortable around the drudges/staff than he is among most people. He doesn't want to having anything to do with his father or brothers and doesn't react well when the possibility is mentioned.
He is ambivalent toward dragons. His mother, who was his only champion while she was alive, thought that the dragons and their riders merited respect. Everyone else seemed to view them as pests. He still hasn't made up his mind on which it is. He doesn't seem to be paticularly effected by the recent illness but inside, he is having trouble dealing with the loss of a very close friend.
He tends to eat and run if nothing slows him down. His preference is for food that is quick and easy to get down. He likes working with runners as they don't hassle him for being him.
Hobbies/Skills: Trained in handling/riding rider beasts in addition to the normal skills of a harper. He is also skilled in the practical skills involved in managing a hold, least from the side of the female side of things. Due to his brothers, he is also skilled in not losing, but not necessarily winning, fights, at least in regards to the damage taken.
Pets: None.
History:
Karl was born into a family he didn't fit into. He is short, slim, and has blond hair. His father and brothers are all tall, stocky, and brown haired. The difference is due to the fact that his actual father was a rider from Igen Weyr. His mother never admitted to the fact though. The family managed/ran a small one family hold on the Keroon/Bitra border.
When Karl was young, before his mother's death, she did her best to protect him from his father and brothers. She was the only person in the hold to pay him any positive attention. In the process, he learned the skill involved in running a small hold. His mother died when he was 12. His life took a turn for the worse at that point.
He quickly learned to deal with runner beasts, the family profession, as his father beat him at the smallest excuse. He was also bullied heavily by his brothers, his father not caring it was happening. This lasted 2 turns before a visiting harper helped him run away. The harper, having noted that Karl had the talent to become a harper if he had the right environment, arranged for Karl to become an apprentice at the Hall at Fort Hold.
He was apprenticed to the archives master while also receiving lessons in composition. Karl quickly learned what he was taught. It was recovering from scars of his upbringing that took longer. Gradually he worked his way through things and came to be able to deal with things in a manner that, if not perfect, was far better than he had been use to.
While at the Hall, he realized that he was only interested in guys. He ended up in several fights before he learned to deal with his feelings. He only had two real friends at the Hall, least from his point of view. One was the headlady, reminded him of his mother. The other was one of the drudges. He was also Karl's first, and so far only, intimate relationship. They kept that part to themselves as much as possible. He died during the recent illness and Karl is still trying to deal with the aftermath and his feelings.
Finaly, after the masters decided that Karl was emotionaly/mentaly ready, which took about 9 turns, Karl walked the tables and became a journeyman. It was decided to post him to one of the Weyrs where his skills and attitude toward dragons might be of use. After removing Igen from the list due to it's proximity to his home hold, it was decided to post him to Telgar Weyr as a jm was needed and he wasn't anti-dragon in opinion. He isn't sure about his posting. It puts some distance between the him and reminders of feelling he isn't sure how to deal with. At the same time, it's a totaly new place.
