Description

What? You didn't look at him?
An older man of medium height (around 5'7") looks back at you with a smile on his face. Not as trim as he was when he was younger, he still seems to get around enough to cause lighthearted mischief. His full and flowing beard is now all grey, matching the ever-widening streaks in his long hair. He walks stiffly, with the aid of two walking sticks and you note that most of his arm movement is from the elbows. He prefers to sit, rather than stand and will keep his arms by his side if at all possible. He's a jovial sort and has lived long enough that most things roll of his back. Generally unflustered by the posturing of others, tends to let it slide by him. At times he can be a bit moody and pensive but that's one of the bonuses that comes with age, isn't it? Give him a good hot mug of klah and you'll see him melt before your eyes. He doesn't wear much jewelry, just a silver band on his left ring-finger and a small seven pointed star suspended from a chain about his neck. He has the distinct smell of numbweed and klah about him. (LOTS of klah!) [OOC] This desc matches the player as well. He has a hard time typing at times because of joint problems so, PLEASE understand the many typos.
He wears the clothes he's most comfortable in depending on the task at hand.


Common Knowledge

"He drives a '57 coupe / Walks with a stoop / Swears James Dean isn't dead." (Headknocker, Forigner Yes, I'm THAT old!)
OK, seriously he -does- "walk with a stoop" and rides a 43 turn old blue who will, at times, insist he's a bronze. Face it, he's -olde-, at least in terms of dragon riders. The years of 'tweening and the stresses on his major joints while fighting thread have worn on the cartilage of his major joints to the point that he's always in some sort of pain and stiffness. He seldom complains about it but you can see the signs. Walking with a pair of walking sticks, you'll often find him in the most unusual of places. "How'd you get -here-?" will most likely be answered with 'Y'shua shrugs, "'Tweened?". You'll find him engaged in rubbing his shoulders, knees and hands, trying to rub the stiffness out of them but when asked he'll usually say, "Meh, just a bit stiff. I'm fine.
You'll find him a jovial sort, some would say with a fatherly/grandfatherly presence. He's a bit of a mischief maker especially when with Emeth.


Uncommon Knowledge

Now if I posted it here that would make it common knowledge, wouldn't it?


Relationships

None that he likes to talk about. If you catch him at the right time, ask him about the mandolin leaning up against the chair or the stuffed dragon hiding under his bedfurs.


History

Baker's son. Impressed around the age of 15 turns in Ista Weyr. He can still make killer pastries! More to follow.
