Description

Long strawberry blonde hair frames a heart-shaped face, his complexion as smooth as any Lady Holder's despite the golden tan that only makes his hair seem whiter than it truly is. Smoky blue eyes are expressive beneath auburn brows smoothly arched upon delicate brow bones. His cheekbones are elegantly sloped and the line of his jaw is strong as it draws to a blunted point at his slightly cleft chin. Full lips turn upward faintly at the corners. Broad shoulders supports his slender neck, arms neatly muscled by hard work end in elegantly slender-fingered hands, equally able to be either strong or gentle. His torso narrows to slender hips and lead into long legs, his entire body is nicely muscled and trim. One could say svelte.

Dressed in a servicable tunic and trous, the creamy klah of his tunic and chocolate brown of his trous compliment his gold-tanned skin and white-gold hair nicely. The collar of his tunic is forever open at the throat and is caught close to his waist with a brass-plaque belt to cinch it neatly, the belt resting on his slender hips to accentuate his trim figure. The trous have been altered slightly to cling close against his long, muscular legs. Though not looking as if he's been poured into the garment there is very little left to the imagination. Sturdy black wherhide boots protect his feet no matter the work he is engaged in despite looking as if they have been freshly polished each and every day.


Common Knowledge

He was at the Weyr for a few Turns before he was Searched. Joran worked under Headman Renalde and with Ardstelle and then when Renalde went off to be Lord Warder, he did his best to keep things up to the standards he'd learned under that exacting hand.

It is known that he's flirtatious with every male between 18 and 60 though he much prefers older men (read: grey hairs). He's got two steady 'boys', T'rey (Sekhameth's bluerider in his 40s) & Se'rin (Basteth's greenrider in his 30s) who are weyrmated to each other. Yeah, yeah … it gets fun there. ;D

He's stubborn as a mule and tenacious as a bulldog so he's not easily scared off. He never gives up when he sets his mind to accomplishing a task or making a friend out of someone trying to keep him beyond arm's length (R'ik!).

He's also very good at interior decorating, fashion and all that kind of girly stuff. As Myziri says, he's more girl than she is.


Relationships

Any male above age 18 — Lusts after
Any female — either makes friends with or is indifferent to

Myziri — Best friend! He just has to tease her.

R'ik — J'ran is going to out-stubborn the man … eventually. Maybe.

T'ral — Wingleader. Pretty cool guy. Wouldn't be upset if he was in the groundweyrs when Yerenath rises.


History

Joran was born and raised in a small cothold in Tillek. His family was large, as was usual with those backwater farms, with a total of 11 children. He has 4 elder brothers, 2 elder sisters, 3 younger sisters and one younger brother. Smack in the middle and the only boy that didn't look like his father. What did his father look like, you ask? Well, imagine Mastersmith Fandarel from the books and you might see why he wondered about just where little Joran came from. Brukeval was not a small person, at a few fingers over six foot and weighing in at a hefty 330 pounds of sheer muscle, brown hair, brown eyes…pretty much average in intelligence. Marevis, his wife, was rather small, light brown hair and amber colored eyes. She was only 5 foot 5 inches and weighed just over a third of her husband's bulk…around 125 pounds. And that's soaking wet! All of Joran's brothers were over the 6 foot mark and 1 of his sisters was rather close herself. All of the other offspring had hair and eyes between the light shade of their mother and the dark shade of their father with the exception of one younger sister who had dark brown hair and green eyes. Joran was the odd-man-out in everything. He barely topped his mother at puberty and didn't grow much after that though he ended up at 5 foot 11 inches tall. His hair was so blond it was nearly white and his eyes were silvery blue and he never weighed in at more than 150 pounds.

At 16 Turns he was expected to find a wife and settle down to raise another brood of workers. When presented with the opportunity to select his own bride-to-be, he kept his father waiting for the announcement. Brukeval waited until Joran was 18 and then made the choice for him. The young woman was the youngest daughter of one of Brukeval's friends and one of the most slovenly girls young Joran had ever seen. Needless to say, Joran was disgusted by the chosen bride not only because of her looks and manner but also because Joran was one of the few who were drawn to members of his own sex. When he finally told his father this, Brukeval turned him out and basically disowned him. Joran then spent the next Turn or two wandering the face of Pern, trying to find a place he could fit in.

I won't go into the whole long history of his travels and adventures as it would take more than just this one page to tell the story properly. Let's just boil it down to Joran settling for a time in Fort Weyr where he found a 'friend' until two Crafters began fighting over him. Somehow young Joran got in between them and bears the scar one of them caused to this day. And then he left for the Southern continent in the hopes of finding a much, much better life. So much for the angst!
