Consise/Basics

Name: V'rus
Nickname: Ver
Pre-Impression Name: Versersus

Position: Weyrling
Past Ranks: Holdbrat, harper apprentice, Candidate

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, he's nevertheless closer to the average heights on the pernese height scale. His face is angular and long, with an aqualine nose and thin lips, usually frowning. His eyes are brown, and if they weren't so downcast, they'd be very attractive. He keeps his hair to about shoulder length when possible, and otherwise ignore it— it's not unusual to see it slightly matted or messy. His skin is sallow and pale, though arguably from lack of sun: he has a tendency to tan, rather then burn.

Ver tends to like wearing black, when possible, or darker shades of blue. Bright colors are not his forte, though he does admire them on others— without their knowledge, of course. He wears no jewelry of any kind, and the clothing he favors is practical. An accessory he's rarely seen without is his cloak- whenever he can, he wears it. He also tends to wear boots until they're unwearable, and thus whatever's on his feet at any given time is probably well-worn.

Personality

Quirks: closeted hopeless romantic, tends to fixate on one romantic interest— for a long time, that was lili, though his attentions are fading as they age and it becomes clear he's not getting anywhere.
Fears: he'll never be respected, he'll never have power

Verserus— usually called Ver for short— lacks many social graces. Cold and brooding, he'd be 'tall, dark and handsome' if it weren't for the fact that the way he broods isn't really the sexy kind. He keeps the world at arm's length, which is where he thinks it belongs.

He lacks some social inclination naturally— he's just one of those people who don't really get interpersonal relationships. A natural lack of social graces led to him being teased as a child, which withdrew him further, and now he's become the man he is today: someone who doesn't form relationships easily. He's wary of strangers, and while he's not nervous or afraid of them, he doesn't go out of his way to be friendly or nice either.

His speech is droll and sarcastic, and he tends to be cold. He can be petty, especially if he doesn't like certain people, and while he won't go out of his way to antagonize them, he'll hold a grudge and take advantage of a chance to make them miserable if it presents itself. He is not cruel, but he can be malicious to people he doesn't like, and he tends to be a natural misanthrope.

He does wish he could form relationships more easily sometimes, though more with certain people then anything else. When he does make a friend, he keeps them very close- they become almost family, and he becomes almost an insecure wolf adolescent over them. Incredibly protective and defensive of these people, he'll defend them with heat and angry words— unusual for a man whose response to slights against himself are usually cold and calculated. Family is sacred to him, and friends are family. Those to whom he is close see an entirely different side of him, which he keeps shielded from the world.

He's actually very sensitive, which is why he keeps the world at bay— sensitive, and mildly arrogant. The rest of the world is too callous and not good enough for him, and so he keeps himself from it emotionally. Those he likes will see his affectionate side, and his undying loyalty. Everyone else gets the cold shoulder.

Something of a closet romantic, he wants a relationship— he holds his friends close, but he yearns for more, a companion. IT seems an impossible goal, and unfortunately he staggers himself more by developing fixations on people rather then crushes. He won't stalk them, but he'll come pretty close. For instance, his childhood friend and flame had been on and off for years, and are still good friends, but he followed her to the harper hall beside the healer hall she was training at, and then to the weyr, in hopes that something may develop. He's not entirely unrealistic— even now he's pulling away from Lili, becoming just her friend, because he's realizing it's going nowhere, but it took him turns to get to that point.

A cunning and calculating man, Ver is ambitious. He wants to make a name for himself and get respect. Power would be great, too. He's smart and can make connections quickly, and has little qualms about manipulating most people— they aren't his family, so they deserve none of his loyalty. That said, he's not entirely ruthless about it. He'll go to some extremes, probably take a step in the unsavory direction more then most people would, but he will hit a point fairly quickly where his morals will allow him to go no further.

Unfriendly, bad at social, ambitious, seeks power, cold, distant, calculating, great memory, occasionally petty, has trouble forming relationships but forms them hard when he does, sensitive, loyal, moral underneath some layers, affectionate to those he keeps close, defensive, protective, wary. holds grudges.

History

Versersus was born to a fairly prosperous if small hold at the height of Pern's technological advancement. His family were part of a large social circle, and were very close to Liali's family, so the two grew up together and were fast friends through most of their lives.

Though he was close to Laili, Versersus found it hard to make other friends— he had no idea how to be social, and his peers picked up on that and teased him relentlessly. They teased him twice as hard when Liali stepped up and defended him, and thus he grew up resenting people. His teens were a bit of a bumpy ride— a touch of the normal angst.

At 11, it came time to choose crafts, if that was the direction they were going. Liali had already expressed interest in branching off to become a healer; she lept into the craft as soon as she could. Eager not to be left alone, and developing the beginnings of what would be a fixation on his childhood friend, Versersus followed her to the minor harper hall situated beside that healer's branch, so that he could continue being close to her and be an apprentice there.

He did not make much quick work as a harper— he couldn't really find his calling amongst them. The issues of law were fascinating to him, and he learned these well, but they were the only things that held his attention- otherwise he progressed slowly. It was Liali who once again set off the next stage of his life.

Having attained journeywoman status just as thread began to fall, she was sent to the weyr in a gaggle of healers— badly needed, because the dragons' casualties were horrific due to inexperience. Once again eager not to be left behind, Versersus put away his harper training, and followed her to the weyr.

Here, he found himself minorly out of place. He tried briefly to carry on his apprenticeship, but eventually gave up and asked instead to stand for the dragonets, making himself available to the clutches. So far, every one in the past two turns has held no dragonet for him, but his stubbornness will not fade.

Ayokath
Blue M Dragon
Ayokath is a deep cobalt blue; he is a slender and effeminate looking thing. Who will have a characteristic prance from the very day he hatches into the world. There is not a skeric of fat on his lithe body and whilst lacking the stamina his bulky brothers will have. He will however be a big blue; though his status of large comes from his length and no so much his height.
