  • Note that all sexualities are fluid or basically pansexual, due to ness's own sexual mindset. All characters are at base pansexual; they could go for anyone based on personality over gender. Some of them may lean, and have a gender preference. Some may be more bisexual. Bigenders, transgenders, and other genders may not be an issue on pern, so that aspect may not be an issue. Point: Personality over sexuality, which is why they will be listed as Pansexual with a potential lean.

Looks

Hair color: Mouse-brown
Eye color: Hazel
Build: Slight and lanky
Still in the throes of late-stage puberty, Esermes is growing like a weed— and as many boys do, he's growing tall, not growing out. He's lanky and thin, and though he'll slow down his growing fairly soon, he's not likely to get terribly filled out— his family shows tendencies to being the tall, slight sort. He's 5'8", and will eventually reach a height of a full 6". His hair is a deep mouse-brown, and grows as wildly as the rest of him— he either wears it messily shorn, or back in a ponytail. His skin is a pale tan, and his eyes are bright hazel— the most interesting aspect of him. His features are angular, and his nose is slightly too big for his face. His lips are wide and gentle, often bearing a welcoming smile.

Personality

Likes: Children, nice people, good company, friends and dogs
Dislikes: cruel comments, mean people, bullying, greed, savagery
Fears: Whers, that he will never have children of his own
Goals: Get over his fear of whers, get a good band of loyal, lifelong friends
Quirks Chronic insomniac, seeks very much to get over any fears he discovers

Esermes, whose nickname is eires, is a sweet but subdued soul.

He has a lot of inclinations, but seems to hold himself back at the last moment. For instance, he's a very social beast. He wants to have a big group of friends and family— people he can count on. He's shy, however, and more likely to keep to himself. He'll see people socializing together, and will want to join— even take a few steps towards them, but he'll always step away at hte last moment, looking abashed. The shyness is natural, but the exposure to the sudden closed-ness of parts of the hold in his early life made him wary and nervous of people. He's afraid of rejection and cruelty, and thus tends to be quiet and withdrawn.

He seems to have an air of melancholy around him, like he's slightly sad. It won't really manifest in his actions— he won't mope, he won't whine.. but when he's alone, he'll start brooding and get lost in thought, and he just seems subdued. He'll perk up when spoken to, and when people are around him, however, and his smiles and such are genuine. This may be part of why he doesn't like to be alone.

That said, he's very friendly and affectionate. Eventually— especially when he grows comfortable with his surroundings or the people around him— he'll take the step forward to be social, and then he's quite warm. He's very kind, and likes to go to great lengths to please those he considers his people— occasionally at cost to himself. He keeps his friends close.

He's very intelligent, and good at learning— schooling was some of what he threw himself into when he was young, and his appetite for knowledge has not faded. He loves to learn, loves to read. He's very patient and good at conveying points, so he also loves to teach— it's a skill he has not got to exercise much. When he needs to be, he can be authoritative, though he prefers to think of himself as an equal. He's a very thorough man, and makes sure everything is done to the absolute best of his ability.

Having developed a bit of chronic insomnia early in life, Eires finds it hard to kick this. He can often be found up at night, as a result, and seems always a bit tired in day-to-day activity due to this. Underneath his subdued friendly, he's both resilient and stubborn: one of his internal goals is to better himself in small ways. For instance, he's afraid of whers since he was lunged at by a watchwher as a child. He KNOWS the wher was doing his job, and he knows most handled whers are not dangerous when you're introduced properly, but he's still terrified of them. He's trying to fix that and get over that fear, by meeting friendly whers.

Quiet, withdrawn, shy, slightly sad, sweet, subdued, friendly, affectionate, thoughtful, intelligent, good at learning, patient, friendly, means well, wishes to be social, good teacher, resliiant, stubborn, thorough, well-meaning, loyal, keeps his friends close, tired all the time.

History

Esermes is a weyrbrat, born through and through. His mother rode no dragon, being simply a cook, but his father rode bronze and had a long-term relationship with his mother, giving him a good view of family relationships. He was also raised by his mother, and grew very close to her.

Things were pretty normal, until he reached about 10. Eager to show him a full range of experiences, his mother sent him to be fostered at the hold— she'd grown up there, after all, and wanted him to see that Pern was different in different parts of it. Esermes didn't react to change very well— growing up in the openness of the weyr, the closed atmosphere of the hold was sudden and disorienting. He was also well aware of his increasing fondness for boys, which in the weyr was no issue— but in the hold, it was a major issue.

Feeling very repressed, he developed insomniac habits and began to shy away from people, his idealistic naivety shattered. Wandering around at night was an issue at the hold, however, as it hadn't really been at the weyr: at the age of 11, when his insomniac tendencies were at their height, he wandered a bit too close to the hold's watchwher. IT was just doing his job, but it lunged at him, having never been introduced to him properly. IT's handler called him off, but the damage was done- watchwhers began to play frequently in his nightmares, and in a month he was paranoid and not sleeping well.

He was only at the hold for a few more months. It was clear he was not fitting in well, and his mother was also developing an illness that was taking more out of her then the healers initially thought. He was sent him, for his own health and to be at the side of his mother. She did not improve— the illness lingered for a few more months, before taking her life.

His father was devastated. They have never been close, but Esermes resembled his mother, and as such he pulled away from his son further, seeing too much of his mother in him. Thus, Esermes grew up increasingly lonely and melancholy. The healers began to worry about this, and he spent more and more time with them, at the request of a mindhealer. The mindhealer— Journeywoman Lili— put him to work in the infirmaries to keep a closer eye on him. It was this healer who coined the nickname Eires for him.

Eires soon showed great aptitude for healing. Lili was progressing far in her own training, and soon her stint at the weyr was coming to a close— she would have to go back to the hall for more advanced training, on her way to mastership. She suggested Eires come to the hall with her, as an apprentice.

He was 13— a bit late to become an apprentice, but he took her on her offer anyway, and they went off to the hall to learn healing. He progressed slowly, taking his time to learn. when the disasters hit 2 turns later, he was arguably ready to be promoted, but was hanging back to be sure he learned everything he could as an apprentice. The disasters changed everything— they were recalled to the weyr, and he found himself helping in the overloaded infirmaries.

He's now been back in the weyr for about a turn, and is adjusting well— possibly because the chaos at the beginning of his stay there left him no other option.
