Name: Jacomus (Some may have known him as J'mus)
Age: 27 Turns
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Weyr: Other - Formerly Southern Weyr
Rider Rank: Rogue/Pirate
Previous Rank/Craft: Wingrider
Physical Description:
Skin: Fair under his clothes, prone to having quite a tan line(Hold his arm to his stomach, and you get a very deep contrast)
Hair: Very dark brown(Looks black when wet), just long enough for a messy ponytail
Eyes: Hazel
Height: A bit taller than average
Build: Lean muscle
Personality: Charming and charismatic, Jacomus tends to have a bad case of sticky fingers. He'll use his charm and charisma to aid in this, finding nothing wrong with picking pockets and bags while he talks to somebody, usually with one arm draped around their shoulder. His loyalties are few - To his dragon, and to his crewmates - but will drop everything to help fight Thread if the situation calls for it. He won't stay as a member of any Weyr for long, preferring his freedom. If there's one thing Jacomus won't do, even as a scoundrel, it's kill another man - The only exception he'll make is in self defense.
History: Born a Southern Weyr, Jacomus was every bit the Weyrbrat, knowing he would stand to Impress as soon as he was old enough. With multiple brothers and sisters, though, and every one of them becoming a Candidate, he didn't pop out much, even when he grew taller than his oldest brothers. It was assumed that, like his older and eventually even some younger brothers, he would Impress a brown or blue, as his sisters Impressed greens. And then Kraketh hatched, and it was Jacomus, the one lost in a family of many, that the young Bronze went to with thoughts of comfort that no, he wasn't just another person, another rider, he was Kraketh's rider.

He thought he'd enjoy the attention, but instead, previously accustomed to doing more or less as he pleased, J'mus found himself stifled, crushed under the weight of attention and expectation a Bronze ider attracted. Would HIS dragon be the one to Rise and mate with the Queen? Would HE become the Weyrleader? Command the attention of others? Lead a Wing? As soon as Kraketh was big enough, they both fled the Weyr, rider's fearfulness of expectations bleeding into dragon. For a long time, they simply wandered, traveling along the coast and eventually across the great ocean to the Northern Continent.

Dropping honorific, Jacomus soon met pirates and, finding the sense of both freedom and belonging he so deeply craved, he joined the crew.
Other: Yoho watch me try to adapt a character to this, ROFL

Personality: Deeply loyal to those his Rider calls family, Kraketh would do just about anything to aid Jacomus. Like his Rider, Kraketh would only ever kill a man, or even another dragon, in self defense.

Approved!

One thing to think about and maybe add (I thought about this only after I approved) was how did he and his dragon handle Threadfall? Was he damaged or hurt at all? It caught everyone off guard (sort of save High Reaches) and as a bronze rider, his dragon's instinct is to fight it. Firestone is now going right back to all the Weyrs of Pern so will be in supremely limited supply. Does this change his feelings at all now that their duty as riders is coming back to the forefront of everybody's mind? Just stuff to think about. gaia_star
