Since no one else has offered up a Weyrharper yet... 
Character name: Brant
Gender: Male
Occupation/rank: Weyrharper
Birthdate: 192.05.18 (42 in turn 34)
Birthplace: Fort Hold
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: Dark brown
Build (height/weight): 5' 8½", lean, muscular
General appearance: Antonio Banderas
Sexual orientation: Hetero
Firelizards: Bronze Trumpet
Personality: Brant is a harper to the core: charming, charismatic, emotive, facile… He’d have done as well in the Theater Hall as the Harper Hall, save for his soul deep love of teaching children the history, traditions, rights, and duties of Pern. Brant has a complex character, and has a talent for assuming the guise and demeanor most suitable for an occasion. Brant has almost married several times, but each of his loves has ended their relationship just short of his proposal, saying either that they don’t really know him because of his deft ability to assume whatever personality he chooses, or accusing him of being unfaithful to them because of his easy, charming way with women.
Brant, however, for all his acting ability, is basically a very honest person. He might tailor what he says and how he says it to suit the situation and the audience, but he never says that which he doesn’t believe to be true. This makes him a very poor covert investigator, but since that’s not his use to his hall, it doesn’t matter.
Brant would like to have a wife and a nursery full of children. He’s confident that one day he’ll find the woman who can trust and understand him enough to see that the facades he wears aren’t facades at all.
General history: Brant comes from a large family, many of who became crafters, and just as many of whom did not. They are all musically inclined, it being a habit among them to gather after the evening meal to play and sing and share stories. It was a bonding time, after days busy with work and worry, where they could simply be together and share something that brought them all enjoyment. Brant chose to apprentice to the Harper Hall when he was 12, having found that music and teaching drew him more strongly than any of the various other tasks and preliminary trainings the children of the Hold were given. He’s especially close to his youngest sister, Zabryna.
After the standard six turns of apprenticeship, he walked the tables to journeyman and spent the next twenty turns wandering Pern at the direction of his Hall. Four turns ago he applied for his master rank and was promoted. For the last four turns he’s been given various assignments, and has finally been given his permanent posting: StarRise Weyr.
