Name: Ozerius
Nickname: Ozzy, Zeri
Position: candidate
Past Ranks: Holdbrat, refugee
Gender: Male
Sexuality*: Pan
- 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
Fairly tall, Ozerius has finally reached his adult height of 6'2" and is beginning to fill out a bit. He'll be fairly well-built, with natural muscle built up by exercise and training. His skin is fair, but with a tendency to tan before it burns. His hair is deep, glossy black, and he prefers to let it grow out whenever possible, and tie it back in a ponytail. It does tend to get a touch shaggy, before he does something about it. His eyes are warm amber, and his full lips are usually smiling. His features are somewhat square, and he has an aqualine nose. Whenever possible, he tends to wear shades of blue and black.
Personality
Ozerius was the black-sheep for his haughty, proud family. The boy was always more friendly then dignified, more concerned with having fun then appearances, too fond of mischief and trouble to bring honor to the family name. His dreams of being a harper or riding a dragon were too flighty, his fondness for the male form as much as the female form was downright shameful. Had the disasters not killed his family, they would've found themselves at odds about both, more seriously.
Ozerius is social— he likes having a group of friends around him, and though the concept of family is troublesome to him because of the one he was unfortunately born with, he'll become comfortable with the concept eventually, and want one of those too. He's incredibly loyal, almost to a fault— he'll think nothing of risking his skin for a friend, or leaping before thinking in order to protect a friend's honor. He's protective, which can also have a bad side— it begets possessiveness and jealousy, though these he will try to keep to himself, and brood over.
Brooding, however, is unusual for him: he'd much rather focus on the good things in life then stew over emotions. He loves parties and drinking, and he loves social activities that put him into romantic and platonic situations alike. He's relatively charismatic, and tends to draw a lot of attention, as much for his antics. He doesn't mind getting a little dirty to have some fun— in fact, he enjoys it. And we're not talking sexually either— he's also a very sexual beast, and until he finds someone to settle down with, he'll probably jump from bed to bed with relish and little mind for the consequences. In fact, consequences in general seems a rather tentative concept for this man- oh, he knows they'll happen, and if it comes down to it, he'll deal with them— but he'd rather not have to. He'll find ways of making mischief and not getting caught, or nicking food, or sneaking around where he's not supposed to be, without getting caught. It becomes a thrilling game for him, especially because he loves an adrenaline rush. Especially if there's anything to it that might benefit his friends, he'll do risky or even downright dangerous things. "it seemed like a good idea at the time" is all the justification he needs. The rules are really more like guidelines, after all, and he'll bend them and enjoy it.
Needless to say, responsibility is not this man's strong suit. He lives life to have fun, and he lives it for the moment. He can be pushy, when trying to get what he wants, and will tease people he doesn't like— he can be a downright bully, if the right situation comes up. However, to his friends he'll seem incapable of cruelty, which is generally how he functions. He's sweet and affectionate, generous to those he cares about, and really fond of a cuddle.
It's hard to get him down or convince him that he ought not to do something: he's as stubborn as a mule, and twice as resilient. The other side to this is that he's hard to keep down and roll over, too: he's not about to get crushed, either. Even in the depths of a deep depression, he will hold on with some kind of energy no one thought he had, which could be labeled an obsession to survive, and to thrive.
History
Though Ozerius's family had a long history of becoming dragonriders in their blood, they're primarily located at the hold. Indeed, they have a history of great accomplishments to their name- -those that go to crafts become masters, those that become guards (most of them) do very well. The dragonriders were actually quite rare, and slightly frowned upon in the long run— especially in recent generations. Recent generations have also become increasingly haughty and overproud.
Ozerius was a break from that. From a young age, he associated with drudges and those of lower rank within the hold: something his parents found abhorrent. He spoke of wanting to go to the weyr, to be a dragonrider, or to be some craft that the family didn't like— such as harper, which his family thought was a waste of time, compared to crafts like smithery and healing. His father, who had risen to high rank within the guard, urged him to join the guard at the age of 10— though Ozerius had shown prominent fighting skills in his youth, when his father gave him preliminary training, he showed no interest in a career at the guard.
They were destined to come to blows about it, but it never came to that. Ozerius' hold withstood the initial earthquakes, but the rest of Pern didn't. He was distracted from ordinary life in most ways, with only the occasional lesson from his father in fighting. Five years into the disaster, the hold finally did collapse, strained by refugees, distraction, and the increase of events. His father was amongst the many that died, and he became a refugee with everyone else, avoiding the fate of fighting about the guard which would've awaited him in a normal turn.
The refugees Ozerius eventually came to be with included some dragonriders- ones who had not yet heard about the founding of Zeroth. They were informed, and were amongst the last riding pairs to join the weyrs, who had survived. When they were offered the place at Zeroth, they offered a chance to come with them to those nearby: Ozerius took that offer, and has been at Zeroth since.
