C'aeg is a pretty charming, carefree and
cheerful sort of person. Straight away you can tell he used to be a rascal as a
child and still retains some of these characteristics. He's smart mouthed, a
smooth talker and he's often behind most of the pranks going on in a wery. He
never takes anything seriously, is often cheeky and insolent. He also has a
pretty bad temper when somebody gets on his bad side - especially when he used
to drink.
However C'aeg isn't a lazy sort of person. He doesn't mind pottering around on
some little project he's doing or creating his fine leather work. He tends to be
an avid reader and he listens, he likes to know what's going on at all times. If
somebody wants to know something they tend to come to C'aeg for he tends to know
everything that's going on, has been going on and will be going on. He's not a
gossip but he does like to know. He is also a fairly neat, organised sort of
person. Faranth help a person that uses something of his and doesn't return it
the same place or who makes a mess and doesn't tidy it up. Ryujith is usually
just as clean and well looked after.
C'aeg also has one secret that few know of in his new home, he tends to not
drink any more because getting drunk tends to turn him into a demon. He gets
aggressive, nasty, violent and out of control. A few turns back after a
particular bad drunken bar fight where he nearly killed a Lord Holder's son he
decided to quit drinking and he hasn't touched a drop since. His drinking and
aggressive tendancies when drunk lost him his weyrmate too.
Brief History of Persona:
Craeg was born the middle child out of three to a
weyrmated greenrider and bronzerider at Igen Weyr. Growing up a weyrbrat raised
by a mixture of his aunt Raewyn the Assistant Headwoman and his parents he never
lacked for attention.
Craeg right from the minute he was born had both his parents, foster mother and
others spread throughout the Weyr to curse. Craeg was a natural rascal. He
always got into trouble whether from hitting one of his playmates, stealing food
from the kitchens or sneaking into the Hatching Cavern - it was always
something. Smart mouthed, insolent and ever mischevious he was alwys the
ringleader behind many of the pranks going on around the weyr and was nearly
impossible to control.
But Raewyn, ever a strong and determined sort of woman decided she'd tame her
nephew and foster son if it was the last thing she did. Slowly with time,
patience and a strong will she was able to tame some of his worst traits. She
even convineced him at 13 to Apprentice to a craft. Craeg agreed but he was also
determined to stand for Impression at the same time.
So he Apprenticed to the Tannercraft and was accepted in despiste the misgivings
of his teachers who'd heard all the warnings about him. But Creag surprised them
by being both interested and deft enough to pick up the the skills of a tanner
fairly quickly and even developed some skill with his leather work. He'd also
excelled at his harper lessons and despite his character his harper teachers
adored him.
But from the age of 14 he took his right as a weyrbrat to stand for Impression
and was disappointed for two turns before finally at 16 while standing for his
third try he Impressed his Ryujith. However if the Weyrlingmaster thought that
Impressing his blue would tame him and make him grow up this wasn't happening.
While he listened more to the Weyrlingmaster and his Assistants and diligently
worked to help Ryujith he was still a rascal. Still behind a pranks, still
insolent when he wanted to be. In short the same person he was before he
Impressed.
But the blue pair of Weyrlings graduated in due time with the rest of their
class as the Weyrlingmaster couldn't deny they were among the top of their
Weyrling class. While Thread wasn't falling at the time C'aeg and Ryujith
trained hard and in his spare time C'aeg kept to his hobbies. He liked to make
all of Ryujith's harnesses, saddles and straps himself. He also made other goods
as well. He was good enough that he was able to make quite a good profit out of
the leather goods he sold at Gathers or just to riders that asked him to make
things.
C'aeg, ever somebody that liked the company of both men and woman, was never short
of a bed mate but he it wasn't till he was 22 that he meet the man to be his
weyrmate.
Danis, a Senior Journeyman Harper came to Igen Weyr to take over the spot as
Weyrharper. The former Weyrharper wanted to return to Fort Hall to work on his
Master knots. It wasn't long before the pair meet, became good friends and then
finally lovers. The pair decided to become weyrmates after a couple of turns.
C'aeg for once in his life was happy and secure and many of his past bad traits
were finally tamed by his gentle weyrmate.
But problems were arising as C'aeg was drinking alot and getting into alot of
bar fights provoked by his aggressive tendancies. Danis walked out on him when
one such fight resulted in C'aeg nearly killing the Igen Lord Holder's son and
Ryujith sustaining a wicked knife wound or two of his own. All three acts were
sufficent to wake C'aeg up to what he was doing and while he couldn't get his
weyrmate back or escape the guilt of what had happened he decided to fix himself
up. After several turns visiting a mindhealer and giving up drinking he's
reformed himself in many ways. He no longer drinks, learned anger management
techniques and self-control. The return of Thread and sustaining injuries from
their first Threadfall also woke the reckless C'aeg up. He's been clean for 3
turns now and going. He also has a couple of weyrbrats that are results from
either flights or brief liasons. Even thought he is clean he still goes to his
mindhealer fearing that he's not clear yet.
But he finds that too many of the people around him, his old drinking buddies in
particular are not helping his situation and his pain at the loss of his
Weyrmate have meant he's decided to transfer to Coral Reef to make a new start.
