Name: Xeran
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: ¬ ¬ He's too busy preventing Vera's romantic life to have one for himself.
Craft: Harper (Composition and Scribing)
Rank: Journeyman
Physical Description: Ok. Xeran is one of those guys who could probably commit sexual harassment just by sitting quietly in a corner somewhere. It’s possible that his sex aura could be measured in megawatts. Tall and broad-shouldered, he is one fine figure of a man. Even if he has just shaved that morning, he’ll still look as if he’s in need of another shave. Or possibly three. He’s just naturally scruffy. Actually, no. That’s not the right word. Rugged, now that’s the right word. Like most Pernese folk, he’s dark haired. His hair is slightly wavy and cut short because it’s simply impractical for it to be any longer. It's also permanently tangled, like he just got up from a rather wild night. The truth is, he just doesn't bother to brush it. Unlike most Pernese, he’s blessed with an absolutely gorgeous pair of dark blue eyes. He’s not graceful, exactly. Certainly not light on his feet or anything like that. Rather, he’s graceful the same way a wild horse is: large, powerful, and you better not be in his way when he wants something.
Personality: Contrary to his appearance, Xeran is actually quite friendly. Since he was raised in a relatively small minor Hold, large crowds make him understandably nervous. He’s much better with small groups. Unlike some Harpers---coughcoughMalcough----he’s perfectly content with NOT being the center of attention. After all, if he wanted attention, he would have gone into instruments instead of writing. Being a very strong guy, he long ago learned that he doesn’t have to fight. So he doesn’t. Normally, he can get his way just by saying, ‘Oh hi!’ or something similar. Amazing how polite people are, don’t you think?
So long as it isn’t interrupting his work for a long period of time, he’s usually fairly happy to help. Luckily, the problems he’s asked to help with are normally along the lines of, ‘Oh, tee hee! I just can’t get the lid off of this jar!’ or ‘Shaffit. I put the jar up on that high shelf. Can you get it for me? Pleeeease?’
He’s fairly forgiving as well, so long as the person didn’t do anything outright violent. He’s not impossible to anger, though, especially if people insist on mistaking his kindness for stupidity. He's capable of giving as good as he gets in terms of snarkiness and wit. He has an especially fondness for innuendo and sex jokes.
Actually, he really likes sex jokes. He can find an innuendo in 'good morning'. He certainly could find one in 'innuendo'. Most of his life seems to revolve around his student, Vera. They have an... interesting relationship, but most certainly not a romantic one.
Xeran is well aware of his physical appearance and is quite proud of it. Well… usually. The fact that he consistently frightens small children makes him sad.
History: Originally, Xeran was born in a small minor Hold to a family of miners. Big strong family too, since his father had looked for a wife who could hold her own weight around the house. Quite literally, actually. The result was a strong healthy brood of children. It was expected that Xeran would go into mining once he was old enough and, for a time, that was exactly what he did. After all, his entire family had been miners. Why change a winning formula?
The only problem was this: He wasn’t very good at it. Oh, he could haul things around and bash things up pretty well, but he was hopeless at distinguishing metals from each other. Or even basic rocks. Show him a metamorphic crystalline structure with quartz, and he would just see a rock. It seemed that he would be resigned to a life of menial labor, a fact that he didn’t like. He was good at learning, though, and retaining facts, something that the local Harper noticed. Not only that, but he demonstrated good handwriting, a rarity in a Hold where spelling was, more or less, optional.
He entered Harper Hall at age 15 and attained the rank of Journeyman at age 25. He was very proud of himself. He traveled to Ista with Vera, mostly to make sure she didn't get herself into trouble. After all, a pretty lady traveling alone with a bunch of traders... Misunderstandings could happen. Xeran is there to make sure they don't happen, usually by making not-so-vague threats. "Nice night, isn't it? A very nice night. Certainly, it is a very awful night for something awful to happen. And lots of bad things can happen on the road..." Also, he was told to keep an eye on Marko.
Also he kept scaring the younger students and distracting the older ones. :<
Vera, his favorite student, entered his life when she was twelve and he was 23. When he became a journeyman, Vera was one of his first students. Xeran never let go of that, even after Vera walked the tables. Currently, the pair have a very... strange relationship, where Xeran acts as a father/brother/mentor/friend. He is a man of many hats.
Or he would be, if he wore hats.
Pets: None.
Other/Talents: Despite looking like a man who could crush a quill just by looking at it, Xeran is actually quite elegant when it comes to writing and composition. His handwriting in particular is beautiful. He can also play the harp fairly well. He also has a photographic memory.
Candidate? Nope.
Picture: Ha! I wish.

None yet! Unless you count his harp, Lady Fessi. >> Which you probably shouldn't.

Link Characters Summary
Think of the Children! Marko, Vera, and Xeran Coming soon!
Fixing Things Up Xeran and Vera Xeran fulfills his purpose in life and, once again, ruins Vera's attempts to talk to a dragonrider. <3 Also lots of bad puns and word play. And cute in the form of two rather unusual firelizards... hmm... wonder where they came from.
That Old Song Xeran, Vera, and Kyllae Xera (That's Xeran and Vera together!) do their very best to confuse poor Kyllae. Then they get bored, since Kyllae doesn't respond properly.
Hatching! (Snake Clutch) Lots! Well, Xeran takes Vera to the Hatching to make sure she's properly aware of how dangerous such things are. Unfortunately, it's more dangerous than he could possibly realize... Marko also has a panic attack upon seeing one of his students on the Sands and starts to yell, at least until Xeran carries him out. {FIN}
