Name: Jamusyn

Age: 18

Sex: male

Sexual Orientation: straight

Craft: N/A

Rank: Holder's Son

Physical Description: Jamusyn is of average male height for Pern; he stands at 5'9" and is 145lbs. He has dark chestnut brown hair and hazel eyes that tend to appear darken when he is upset. This may be due to the fact that his bangs hang down as he glowers. His natural complexion is a tanned beige though darkens during the summer. Jamusyn has his fair share of nicks and cuts though he does have a noticeable scar from a canine attack when he was younger. This does not hinder him as the wound was never deep enough to do any muscle or nerve damage. Though not overly muscular, he can heft and haul his fair share of sacks or materials. As a holder's son, his clothing is a little better than others though not by much. His favorite colors are dark browns and blues though he does look handsome in reds as well. Since coming to Ista he has gotten used to wearing the light linen clothing and sandals.

Personality: To sum Jamusyn in one word, hard-working. He is not the eldest son nor one tapped to take over his father's lands. But he is interested in being his brother's steward and enjoys working with numbers and people. He likes to know all the details and angles of a situation before making his decision on anything. Not prone to fantastical daydreams or storytelling, Jamusyn likes to have his wherries in a row at the beginning and end of the day. Not to say that he doesn't know how to have fun. He indulges in runner beast betting as well as dancing. Not a handsome fellow nor a homely man, he is never lacking for a partner on the floor with his skills.

In the way of actual personality, Jamusyn will give out praise when it is due as well as mention failings. He can sometimes be blunt and to the point about this; Jamusyn can act like his skin doesn't stink and sometimes needs to be taken down a peg or two. Normally this is handled by his teachers or higher ranking members of the Hold. He does tend to have a patience problem, especially when dealing with those he considers "stupid or slow people" but tries to make up for it by being considerate towards the elderly and children. He is actually quite good with both extremes, fascinated by tales of the "good old days" and marveling at the young ones' imagination since he mostly lacks one. Despite his shortcomings, Jamusyn is a people person and enjoys the company of others, especially when tales are being told or songs are being sung.

Family: Haderson *father/minor holder*; Nelettia *mother/holder's wife*; Hailoron *older brother/holder in training*; Pazzule *older brother/crafter*; Illorian *younger brother*

History: Born the third son of a minor holder from Southern, Jamusyn's history is a rather dull one. He grew up learning about farming, basic beast craft, helping in the hold where ever he could or was allowed, being teased by his older brothers. At an early age, the local Harper who came to teach noticed that he had a gift for organizing and numbers. Slowly, his father began to allow him to small responsibilities. These included counting the sacks of supplies and feeding the canines.

When he was around 12 turns, Jamusyn was feeding the canines when he accidentally stepped on the paw of a big mother. She attacked him to get him away from her and he ended up with a scar on his arm. Thankfully, it was a flesh wound and did not actually hurt anything. But this taught him caution and to always be aware of his surroundings. As time went on, Jamusyn learned from his father's steward just how much it took to run a hold, even a small one. He became the man's shadow as well as his father and brother's... Jamusyn had no desire to lead people only to see them prosper. Just recently, his father's cousin extended an invitation to foster for a Turn and learn different stewarding techniques at his hold just outside of Ista. Eagerly, Jamusyn accepted. Being at one of the hold's that tithes to the Weyr regularly, the family plans to attend the next Hatching.

Pets: none though good with canines
Other/Talents: Numbers. Jamusyn can recite numbers and remember what they are for until he turns blue in the face. He is also good at organizing and arranging things so that they are easily understood.
