Name: Lotiapez (pronounced lo-shia-pez) (Lo'pez)

Gender/Age: male, 18

Rank/Craft: Weyrbred, Apprentice Leathercrafter, Candidate

Location: Alabaster Weyr

Relatives/Family: none present

Dragon if any: Impressed BROWN Lilioth at Aden Weyr

Physical Description: 6'0", 145, tall and leanly built, red tan skin, black hair kept short and stylish, has a small gotee. Long nose and strong cheekbones, very attractive. Eyes are deeply brown and very sexy. Likes wearing stylish things in silken colors, and is equally at home in leather as anything else. Likes dark colors which accent either his skin or eyes. His voice is smooth and low, and apparently changed in one day ... perhaps only within an hour or more.

Emotional/Mental Description: Devoted and faithful to Alabaster in all its forms. He wishes nothing more than to see Engell's dream of a completely self sufficent Weyr-Hold come to fruition. He is very popular with the ladies, but has eyes only for Leilani. If they both Impress, they will probably become permanent lovers. He is passionate, and is a flexible sort mentally. He adjusts quickly to situations, and in that way he is very valuable to Alabaster.

Skills: he is good at working leather, but he will really never be better than any of his peers. His true passion is in the sky, and in the Hold. He is a talented dancer and loves to show off his moves with a beautiful partner at his side (Leilani mostly) and likes also to show off what he can do with leather while doing it (his own dancing duds are to die for!). He likes making costumes with the scraps of the leather work, and he will be able to come up with some of the best riding leathers and harness straps the weyr has seen. He has many Thread fighting techniques already memorized, and can often be heard muttering about them in the halls. He is a talented role player as well, impressing many experienced Harpers with his ability.

History: though he was born just after Thread fall began, Lotiapez was intended to go into a craft more than anything else by his parents. He followed their wishes for a while but then clearly got involved with the Weyr more firmly and has never really looked back. He and Leilani met many years before, and have been both good friends and part time lovers since they were old enough to care or understand what was happening.

Notes and Special Information: Because of his charm and good looks, he is one of the Weyr brats who has always been invited to Engell's parties. He proves himself worthy of recognition when he thwarted a plot against Engell (and when has there not been a plot?) and turned the scoundrels in.

Pets/Hobbies/Posessions: Lotiapez has no pets, though he likes small mammals and cats. He wishes to build Leilani a nice place nearby the Hold, and once they are established as riders he will be able to do that, coersing the local miners to toss a bit more granite his way for a homestead.

"They're searching! They're on Search!" Came a call up to the shared room where Lotiapez and two others crashed. Their separate weyrs would come only after they came back to the Weyrhold with dragons for Alabaster. That made perfect sense to Lotiapez. He looked at the other two, and decided that he'd let them sleep. They weren't able to get up for a Search, how in the world would they make it up if Thread were falling? He moved around down to the courtyard where a large Brown was waving his long head over the already-present Lord Holder and such. Lotiapez walked up to Engell and bowed, getting a surprising smile from the Lord Holder. "I am glad you've made it, Lotiapez," the white haired man said, with a kind of gleam in his eye. "This rider says that there are seventeen eggs at Aden weyr." "Aden, that's a new place, isn't it?" Lotiapez asked, and the rider himself answered. "It is, but we're making special allowances for this Weyrhold of yours." He looked at Lord Engell. "This one is perfect, sir." A smile crept over Lord Engell's face, at that, and he turned to the younger man. "Well, you heard him, you're a candidate now. Pack. Be back with a dragon or I'll expect you to be tanning hides for the riders who do come back with one!" Though the Lord Holder's tone was very light, and everyone laughed, Lotiapez took it seriously. Then, he spotted Leilani in the crowd and went to her. Read about it?
