Character name: Jarrow
Gender: Male
Occupation/rank: Weyr Guard Captain
Birthdate:
Birthplace:
Hair: Dark brown, cropped short, almost spiky, with some falling across his forehead on left side.
Eyes: Blue, almost turquoise, but occasionally appears to be green or grey.
Build (height/weight): Average, muscular build. 6' even.
General appearance: (John Barrowman) Squarish face; strong, straight nose, firm lips, barest hint of a cleft in his chin. Not intimidating, but the type of build that can range from being threatening to being sophisticated, depending on the clothes worn and the bearing.
Sexual orientation: Bisexual
Firelizards: Yes. Number and colors, however, are not information for public knowledge!
Personality: He's a leader-type: he has the charisma, the bearing, for it. A bit irreverent on day-to-day, but can be and is serious when it's required. While he promotes a casualness among subordinates, he still manages to keep that line between boss/employee clear.
On the issue of family, it's important to him when the individual family member is worth it, but there are some siblings he pretty much pretends don't exist, if he can. If he had his own family, they'd be very important to him and he'd do his best for them.
He has a lot of casual friends, but not a lot of close ones.
Timeline:
01.02.?? - Born somewhere close to Fonstad Cothold
01.04.22 - Arrives at Fonstad Cothold with his mother, who leaves him with Anjanita. Shortly afterwards, his father Cedrian is found dead in the fields from clutch-heart. His mother can't be found. Anjanita adopts him, guessing that Cedrian is his father. He looks so much like her youngest when he was an infant...
01.11.03 - Anjanita remarries Barnek.
04.05.16 - Big brother Cinjan apprenticed at the Personal Combatant Hall. Jarrow is inconsolable for a time; he worshipped Cinjan.
07.05.13 - Since Anjanita and Barnek just CAN'T keep him out of the trees, Jarrow begins official training and working in the orchards. Primarily picking fruit, at this point.
09.07.18 - Barnek dies in an accident at Fonstad
12.13.09 - Big brother Cinjan Impresses green Dionath at Sable Weyr.
14.03.13 - Althrough Jarrow has shown a marked interested and a definite talent for orchard care, when he's Searched by Crystal Weyr he accepts. Technically, it should have been Sable Weyr, but he'd gone to a hold in Crystal's territory for a gather to sell fruit, and that's where he was found.
14.04.01 - While a Candidate, Jarrow was assigned to work with the Weyr guards - mostly as a message runner. The guards took a fondness to him, and he was an eager learner, so they taught him the basics of their jobs, let him help with various things, and started working him on weapons.
14.04.01-22.03.01 All during his Candidacy, Jarrow continued to work as a guard. After four turns of Candidacy and no Impression, the Candidatemaster decided he'd been trained enough and released him to work full time with the guards, just as long as he was there to touch the eggs and attend the Hatching.
22.03.02 - Jarrow becomes officially too old for Candidacy and cheerfully announces the Weyr guards were his life's work.
22.05.16 - Jarrow accepts a promotion and a transfer to Theran Weyr.
34.09.16 - StarRise Weyr's Guard Captain retires and Jarrow accepts the position, arriving at the Weyr without forewarning C'jan that he was coming. Surprises are good things for the greenrider.

L'cassian was pleased to have him at Theran and sorry to lose him. Does Jarrow play poker?
Then if I do make another dragonrider (a third, actually, as I am planning a brownrider named C'rec), I can make him look like Matt Smith. Not with that hair, though.
