Personality:
Reticent:
At a young age, Wer was brought to the conclusion that it wasn't his place to be overly sad or angry or any other form of distress. The family that had taken him in quickly taught him the need to control and tamp down his emotions. As such, Werymn bottles everything up, doing his best to show little more than a pleasant, welcoming exterior. While he acts quiet and cheerfully agreeable, his emotions rage, and he mentally contests anything everyone says. The buildup of stress and strain by keeping it all locked in has caused anything that usually creates a minor swell of emotion to hit him like an avalanche. What were once minor grievances have become massive injustices. On the other hand, things that once delighted him now make him ecstatic, and while he does repress rage and sorrow, he has no qualms about showing happiness and other positive emotions. Something about laughter being the best stress relief.
Vengeful:
Perhaps it just comes with the territory. How is he supposed to grin and bear it if he can't taste sweet revenge every once in a while? Of course any outright physical or mental violence has been grievously frowned upon in the past, so Werymn has taken to more subtle approaches. Perhaps a treasured toy goes lost forever or a favored clothing article suddenly finds itself ruined or important appointments go unvisited... He isn't even above food poisoning if the situation demands it. Of course, there are times when he has to pay for his "mistakes," but in the end, it's still worth it.
Attentive:
Werymn could not care any less about the well-being of the adults in this household. They are fully grown and should be able to take care of themselves. But the children, even the ones who are close to the same age as him (since they act ridiculously younger - must be the pampering), require his utmost care and attention. They are the future of the world (as his parents used to say), and so while children can be annoying, needy, and downright messy, they still require love to grow strong and fruitful. Anything they want, he tries to obtain. When someone else bullies them, he's there to stop it at great personal risk. When they need to be politely reminded (or not so politely, sometimes) that they aren't the c**k-of-the-walk, Wer is there for that as well. No matter what they've done to him or what he's done to them, his fellow kiddos are still top priority.
Description:
Hair: Cut to the nape of his neck in the back, but gets longer as it nears the front of his face. His bangs drop close to his shoulders and are parted right down the middle. Most of his hair is smooth, straight, and black, but the very tips of his bangs begin to fade to a dark, swampy green.
Eyes: Golden-yellow.
Build:Average in pretty much every way.
Possible Expression: Haughtily amused by your antics.
Clothing:
As an Oban slave, he's adopted a more Oban way of dressing. Due to his class (or lack thereof), he wouldn't have been permitted any jewelry or anything else of value, and he probably shouldn't have any type of armor, either.
Inspiration: [1] [2]
History:
As soon as Tes came of an age that he could easily manage day-to-day household chores, he was plucked from the Matori colonies and plopped in the care of a young family that was growing at an alarmingly quick rate. The family's current servant was an aged Water woman that was starting to slow in her elderly years. Tes was informed that he would assist her with her duties, as well as take on any other tasks the family of six might need doing. He was also bestowed with his new name, "Werymn," and instructed to cast out any feelings regarding his old home, for he could expect the entirety of his life to be devoted to his new family and Oba.
How they could hold a straight face while they informed a seven-year-old boy of this was a mystery to Teslar- Werymn. And not because of the work, or the multitude of things he suddenly wasn't allowed to do or say or think or look at. But because he missed his siblings. His mother and father had known they'd lose children to Oba (Wer believed they tried not to get attached to any of them too desperately), and so he didn't feel that close with them. On the other hand, he'd adored his brothers and sisters, both younger and older.
And this family had four children for him to adore; an eight-year-old boy, a seven-year-old boy, a four-year-old girl, and a two-year-old girl. While the two eldest sons tended to their studies, Wer aided the elderly servant in her cooking, cleaning, and (to his great delight) childcare duties. And when the boys weren't busy and Wer could spare a moment from his chores, he followed them in their play.
They didn't have a great start. The younger one in particular almost seemed to enjoy getting the foreign Water boy in trouble and watching him be punished for accidental blunders, wasting time, or whatever else their father could come up with. At least until he took ill for three full nights and Wer adamantly cared for him and saw to each and every one of his needs. And if no one ever found out that he was only sick because Wer slipped a few crumbles of dried basadivri root into his food, that was just fine for everyone.
As luck would have it, time wore on. The elderly Water woman saw her last day, bestowing the full force of her duties onto Werymn's eleven-year-old shoulders. Despite taking on full care of the home, and yet another child, he found time to spend with his former rival, and perhaps a feeling stronger than the average master-servant bond should be, started to develop...

I plan to look more in depth to this tomorrow, but for now just one quick question sticks out to me. Can you explain why you chose to use vengeful and forgiving as traits for him? I can't see how the combo works well when to me they seem to be almost polar opposites.

kaname423 I plan to look more in depth to this tomorrow, but for now just one quick question sticks out to me. Can you explain why you chose to use vengeful and forgiving as traits for him? I can't see how the combo works well when to me they seem to be almost polar opposites. Sure~ Wer definitely wants wants to get his payback on people who have willfully, purposefully harmed him, especially adults (who he finds much more inclined to the side of evil). But once he perceives them as "even," there's really no need to hold a grudge. he can be just as friendly toward someone who's hurt him as someone who hasn't. And in the grand scheme of things, he's much more lenient/forgiving with children, regardless of what they do.

Sounds good enough to me :] And I don't have any more questions, and since no one else has posted anything, I'm going to go ahead and approve him :] Remind us of his name change when he grows so we can accommodate.  Journal
