Description

A life spent in sun and sea spray ages this young man a few Turns beyond his truth, weathering fine lines into lightly tanned skin. Still, he is a rugged and well-wrought fellow defined by a lean-muscled build and long-stubbled jaw, low and level brows set over steely blue eyes, and a straight-bridged nose. The fact that his upper lip is thinner than the lower is balanced by the presence of a mustache matching the length of his beard. The top ends of a few long scars peer out above his shirt collar at the back of his neck.

Edomar's clothing differs only slightly depending on whether he's on land or at sea. The tall, lugged boots of brown waterproofed leather, dark trousers, and linen shirt that make up his usual sailing garb are tailored and fitted to flatter. While the Tempest is in port, he may wear shorts and sandals or trousers and regular wherhide boots depending on the weather. His more formal garb layers a deep teal velveteen sash over his black leather belt, while his tunic is typically double-breasted.


Common Knowledge

  • Edomar was a pirate, once of The Merry Sherry. He became an informant to the Weyr, escaped, and nearly paid for it with his life.
  • He is the son of the deceased Captain Waimyn and was heir to the Merry Sherry until he proved unsatisfactory to his father.
  • He and Ramsay do not did not get along. This resulted in the man's demise at Edomar's hand…and a world of hurt for Edomar.
  • He isn't like his father. At all.
  • He was in charge of the crew's hidden camp near the Weyr and made certain everyone stayed decently fed, hunting and fishing as needed. This made him either soft or practical, depending on who was asked.
  • After his recovery at the Weyr, he worked as needed and eventually wound up taking charge of the remodeling of The Merry Sherry for use by West Wind Shipping. The ship, now called The Merchant's Tempest, is replacing The Bonnet, the West Wind ship that the pirates scuttled. He is now captaining the Tempest as recompense for what was lost.
  • He and Taurie are a couple - not something they've loudly advertised, but certainly something that's clearly seen when he's home between voyages.

History

Edomar's life hasn't played out as he thought it would in any way, shape, or form, save for getting to indulge in his love of the sea - to a point. He doesn't know who his mother was, only that she gave birth to him in port at Black Rock Seahold. He was raised on The Merry Sherry and taught that it would be his someday…but his temperament never turned out to be quite what Waimyn thought worthy of one of his own progeny. Edomar drew his father's ire often and was subjected to the occasional flogging, though that tapered off as he got older. When Ramsay came along and was made first mate, Edomar was baffled, though he wasn't about to change who he was just to grab the position for himself. He remained in his father's employ, having been "entrusted" with the crew's current jungle encampment. However, most of what he decreed wound up overridden by his father, and he soon began thinking about escape.

When Waimyn decided to target Southern Weyr, Edomar's planning became more earnest. Meeting Taurie, a merchant whose ship the pirates had scuttled and killed the crew of, further motivated him to act. However, it was the escape of a trader they'd captured and the camp's healer that served as the final catalyst. Ramsay was sent to kill him, but in the ensuing fight, the kill ended up being Edomar's. Even so, Ramsay managed to nearly run Edomar through, and only by stubbornly clinging to life long enough to reach the Weyr cove and call for Taurie was he able to survive.

Now safe within the Weyr's walls with the knowledge that Waimyn no longer lives, Edomar has recovered from his brush with death and, for the first time in his life, is looking toward a future of his own making on the sea. Taurie is the light of his world and also his boss; he captains The Merchant's Tempest - the refitted and repurposed ship he was raised on - in service to West Wind Shipping.


Relationships

Name Position Relationship Thoughts
Taurie Merchant Lover "I've heard stories of meetin' someone who'll make ye stop an' rethink your entire life. Never thought it'd happen to me. Sheddin' my skin an' makin' up for how I've wronged 'er has been worth it. I'm still completely amazed she doesn't hate me for what I've been and allowed to happen. What happened between us that day in th' Thread shelter before I escaped, even after learnin' everythin', and all that's happened since…Faranth. She's the reason I hope. She saved my life when I escaped. I don't think I could've helped fallin' in love with her. She was caught between Eryzz and me lovin' 'er for a time…but things gave, and though it's bittersweet, I get to have her in my arms without contention now. Because of the pain of the situation for all three us, I will ne'er take this love for granted and treasure it always."
Silva Weyrfolk Half-sister "One o' Waimyn's get who wound up at th' Weyr after the island raid. She's learnin' her letters an' readin' from th' Harpers, an' she was even made a Candidate! Couldn't be more proud of 'er. It's nice t' have a siblin' around who I can get on with. She's well on her way with her education now, and she's a Dolphincrafter. She's makin' her way, just as she ought!"
G'rim Wingrider Half-brother "Took long enough t' run into 'im! He's all grown up now, ridin' 'is bronze beastie for Southern Weyr…and we're on good footing. Shells, it's a good feelin'. Mayhap I'm still a little wary that somethin' could go sideways with 'im, but I'm hopeful we'll get t' have an actual rapport as brothers."
Eryzz Journeyman Harper Half-brother "I knew 'im as the other man in Taurie's life b'fore I knew he was another brother. Now that I know, and we've talked, and Taurie has made her choice…will we e'er connect properly? Mayhap someday… I dunno. Hard t' say what we'll come to, if anythin'. No harm in hopin'."
Maeve Weyrfolk Friend "While she was with th' crew, she drank to a troublin' degree. Now that she's at th' Weyr, she seems to've left th' bottle behind. It's been good for her, bein' here. She deserves a better life an' someone who can show 'er what it is t' really be valued. Told 'er I was sorry I couldn't be what she hoped I could be. I'll always be around for 'er, just not in the way she would've liked. I've offered her a place aboard the Tempest, but I understand why she's refused."
Torestin Weyrfolk Friend "Hard t' fully read a man who can't speak, but I think he's a good sort. Damned good at what he does, too. I'm glad he managed to escape. He's made it to th' Weyr as well, servin' out his own recompense for bein' a part o' th' crew. I hope he's able t' follow what he truly wants in life, whate'er that may be."
Clarice Criminal Enemy "Waimyn trusted 'er with more 'n more o' the dirty work. She was infiltratin' the guards at the Weyr, but they caught 'er. Mayhap she was one o' the more tolerable ones, but I've no doubt she'd've tried t' kill me in a blink if the cap'n gave the order. Word is she's sentenced to th' mines somewhere in th' region. I hope we've ne'er any cause to cross paths e'er again."
