History:
Tsagare was quite literally born on the road. From an early age he was taught the trading craft, and though he never showed much talent at it, he proved himself to be a persistent bugger and was allowed to stay. He's been all across the world, and is just waiting to get to all the little islands between the continents.
Well, that would be how Tsa would tell you the story. Truthfully he and his two siblings grew up without fanfare with the Camrann Caravan where their father is a beasthandler and their mother is a cloth trader. He's never left the Southern Continent where Camrann does it's rounds, but yes... he does royally stink when it comes to trading.
Despite the truth not being anywhere near as exciting as the tale, Tsagare has had a great time growing up. He's always been the outgoing and strong type, so he's never lacked for friends (and enemies.) He learned how to use a bow when he turned 15, and when he proved to be surprisingly adept with it (as well as knives) he was delegated to night security as well as hunting. Tsa took to this like a fish to water, as he has always been a natural guardian. He made swift friends with the other men on the night watch (including the wherhandler Relys, whom he seeks out for all sorts of dirty dating advice.) He more then makes up for his brother Sogare's pessimism on the personality front, and Sogare more then makes up for Tsa's shortcomings as a trader. Tsa's sure that there is one guy who wouldn't miss him if he left, but he still considers his rival Silbakor to be a good buddy and would miss that sour-face if HE ever left.
Currently doing the rounds around Trine Weyr, the caravan is planning to be at the Weyr for the Hatching, as their schedule does not often coincide with such an auspicious event. Tsagare is quite taken with the notion of being able to see dragons up close and personal, let alone watch a whole clutch of them being born!
Description:
The first thing any- and EVERYone notices about Tsagare is his eyebrows. Hellishly bushy and flared at the end like torches, they don't do a whole lot for his self-declared role as Caravan Casanova, but they do serve as identification. His eyes, which go sadly unnoticed, are a rather lovely shade of turquoise blue, and his face could be considered handsome if he did something about the brows.
Physically he is extremely fit, and leans towards the bulkier end of the spectrum. He moves like a man in charge, which has the unfortunate side effect of making him look even more the fool when he messes up (as he usually does) and in earning him quite a few enemies. Not that Tsa' cares overly much, he likes duking it out with his multiple rivals, and usually considers his worst enemies his best friends.
Personality:
Reckless, care-free and energetic, Tsagare is the world's worst mix personality wise when it comes to teen-aged boys. He thoroughly enjoys flaunting his young muscles, be it for the few girls he comes into contact with or to put the other boys in their respective places. Widely considered an economic loose cannon by the adults, he isn't trusted with a whole lot on the trading side of things given how very gullible he can be. He readily believes whatever anyone tells him when it comes to mathematics, and is a horrible bargainer.
A terrible boaster, most of his enemies were earned through this particular vice. Any story that can be embellished, is... be it at his own expense or someone elses. The rest are probably enemies of the more run of the mill sort; bully-boys he's thrown off his younger brother, prospective boyfriends he caught making eyes at his younger sister, and anyone he's ever caught sneaking around the caravan at night. Tsagare takes his job as a guard Very Seriously, and Faranth help the Holdless thieves he catches trying to lift the Caravan's merchandise. At 17 turns, he might not have the height and build to appear a threat at first, but anyone who has ever crossed him has learned swiftly why he was delegated overnight guard duty.
When it comes to the future, Tsa is a idealist. He likes to imagine himself as Caravan Leader someday, but Sogare keeps that particular dream grounded in reality with a few well aimed teases about figuring. Nevertheless, this young guardian is a dreamer, and has been known to come out with all sorts of impassioned declarations when asked about his plans. Harpering, Healing, Smithing, Dragonriding... he's imagined himself all the way across Pern!
But when a listener actually takes a step back to put all of the pieces together, they will find a young man who desperately wants to get as much out of life as he can. 'No, you can't' does not exist for Tsagare, and he firmly believes that not even the sky is the limit.
Other:
- While Tsagare is the older brother, Sogare often acts like the steadfast brains of the outfit given Tsa's inability to apply rational logic to anything financial... so Tsa is often mistaken as the younger of the two.
- A bit of a jack-of-all trades, Tsa has had his hand in multiple proverbial pies, and considers it his goal in life to experience and learn as much as he can. Math be damned.
- Rather good with a bow and knives, he often serves as one of the few guards within the caravan along with his friend, the wherhandler Relys. Unlike Holders, who have little to fear, the Traders have the more desperate Holdless to worry about when on route.
- Very rash, he tends to leap before looking and often lands in he fire because of it.
- Surprisingly, Tsa is not all that good with runners (or any large creatures that can't be reasoned with) and relies on Sogare to train his runner. Most animals like him, but he's just too much of a softy to apply to appropriate discipline when it is needed.
- Stands Impression Only.
