History: Kaeyne is the Pern version of a crack baby. He was born addicted to fellis to a very young mother who shouldn't have even had relations, let alone a child. She left him to the creche and wisely so, barely being able to get out of it herself. He never learned her name, or his fathers, and was named after one of the workers there.

He led a boring life full of fair weather friends and little else. There were a few smatterings of relationships when he was fifteen, sixteen, with men and women alike, but they all ended when they realized he really did not want to take that 'next step'. It's not that any of them were cruel - they just didn't have matching needs and to Kaeyne, that is okay. He worked odd jobs in the meantime and at fifteen he decided to go into weavercraft - Beast craft was something he found no interest in, though he did a good amount of his chores there, and nothing else gave him a feeling of satisfaction like making something pretty.

Standing started at sixteen (why not?) and he never felt any real need to Impress. Standing seemed like the thing to do with being a weyrbrat and all, it was an opportunity. He saw nothing amiss at being offered that opportunity and, if Impressed, at least he had a partner that wouldn't want to get into his pants. A win win all around!

He participated in the Resistance only because he felt loyalty to the Weyr as a whole; the color politics interest him little, all he figured was that people got angry, people fought, people died. Once he understood why it was going on, Kaeyne decided he'd have joined the Revolution after all (DOWN WITH THE MAN or soemthing) but he already chose his side with the resistance.

Ah well, c'est la vie.

He has very recently started an intense specialization in embroidery. He's been practicing on his own clothes and enjoys it greatly. This has led to more than a few fights amongst a few of the most... traditional of people that thought perhaps sewing pretty flowers into cloth slippers to not be the most masculine thing out there.

That displeased him.

And that, as they say, is that.

Description: Kaeyne is a short, thick individual with vaguely feminine facial features. He barely hits 5'6" and while on the slim side, his body doesn't curve in the slightest. There is no charming little 'v' from shoulders to waist - Kaeyne is an entirely solid bit of muscle borne from years of the physical work of childhood and, once apprenticed, continuous workout on his off time.

He has a darkly olive complexion and thick black hair to the mid-back he keeps in micro-dreads, usually knotted up at the base of his skull to keep it out of the way. His face is delicately boned with high cheekbones, hooded almond shaped brown eyes, and full lips. He has already started to gray at his temples and really doesn't care about it.

Kaeyne enjoys colors - if dyed clothing is at hand, he will wear it. The majority of his wardrobe consists of red and black tunics and pants and he practices his embroidery out on them. While he carries a knife on his hip, Kaeyne is dangerous enough without them, him and his bright wardrobe. He doesn't need the weapons.
Personality:Kaeyne is the closest thing you will find to a wher in human form. Oh, he's pretty enough, and he's smart as a whip, that's for sure, but beyond it all, the man is a beast. Fierce, intense, and undeniably arrogant, Kaeyne has no problems in using force to get what is needed from a situation, and sees the world in black and white. A problem is a problem, a not-problem is not a problem, simple as that. To the point and not much caring for the in between. It isn't to say he is a sociopath, or in any way crazy - Kaeyne just has a harsh attitude in general, something he tries to keep under wraps with a general lack of speaking or, when he converses, a dry sense of humor. 'Wry' would be the best definition.

On that same matter of intelligence, Kaeyne does not lack. He's not a genius, but Kaeyne is smart enough to know how to push a persons buttons. He doesn't go out of his way to do so most of the time, but if it's required for him to get from Point A to Point B and he wants to be at Point B, he'll button mash the hell out of what he can find. He does try to use his words before going on the offensive, honestly he does, but there are always going to be lines that can be crossed. Some people may just want to beat the living snot out of a person that needed to be taught a lesson. With Kaeyne, that person will stay down; he makes sure that the opposition will not be bothering him or his ever again, and Ramoth forbid you pull a dirty trick in a fight. Kaeyne does not forgive. He does not forget. And he will always get even. Even if he is no longer a complete loose canon, Kaeyne has passion in him - a violent, seething, cold passion.

In terms of life in general, Kaeyne prefers to be in charge. This doesn't mean he needs to be Wingleader or in charge of his personal relationships. It's about the small things: how those chores are done, how well his clothes look, whether or not the dishes are cleaned. Sometimes things needed to be changed because they are wrong, even if other people don't think so. It's called having confidence.

Or, you know, Arrogance.

No matter the color he may end up riding, if he does at all, Kaeyne holds himself to very high and exacting standards - he is the best or must become the best. He takes care of his appearance and clothes, works hard, continuously pushes himself to the end of his stamina. He is not above light teasing if another person works too hard, or, in his eyes, stretches themselves too thin though he gets a bit prickly when they point out his own exhaustion. There are double-standards; not everyone is as capable as he is and Kaeyne at least understands that much.

Despite everything negative said, Kaeyne can actually be quite personable like any semi-feral wher can occasionally be. He enjoys a crowd, a debate, the throng of people and not being alone. Kaeyne is sarcastic in his sense of humor and very opinionated when he feels the need to speak rather than just stay quiet and listen, or talk to a close friend. It's only when someone gets on his badside that they will see the darkness in him. His loyalty is hard earned, and very easily lost when it comes to a betrayal. He's not suspicious of motives, really, he just won't take a blatant betrayal lightly. Being suspicious of people is exhausting, he says what he means and expects the same out of everyone else.

Kaeyne likes children. He has none himself, but he enjoys the somewhat quieter ones, and is very good with infants in particular, screaming or not. He does not have any of his own (that he is aware of), nor does he have plans to, but he likes them.

Other: Yes, he really doesn't want sex ever. Yes, if he Impresses, he will lock himself in his weyr. This is fine. He has no issue with Flights. And yes, he can fall in love.
Also he really knows how to fight and can use that knife. Just sayin'.
