Physical Description
Hair
Fine hair (soft, the kind people's fingers are attracted to) and steel-grey in color with a slight wave to it. Lanno is one of those people who began to grey at a very early age, a trait that runs in his family. His father Cliphenza was silver by his mid-20s and his eldest brother Resyneph is well on his way. Lannoezele's hair, which was once blue-black is now more of a deep bluish-grey. He prefers to wear it smartly-cut, especially short in back with a fringe of bangs spiking slightly when brushed back from his forehead with his fingers.Eyes
Pale grey with a dark ring around the iris matching his hair. The shallow crow's-feet etch the corners of his eyes from a short life full of laughter, be the expression heart-felt or just for appearances.Physique
Lanno stands at 6'3" with long, muscular legs from his many travels a-foot, arms muscular as well from earning his keep in places that didn't necessarily count singing as payment in full for a night or a week's stay.Appearance
Strong features dominate his face, from his jawline and chin to his expressive dimpled mouth and semi-straight nose (broken in one too many brawls). His medium complexion only darkens in the summer and is never "white" in the late spring when people venture into the water for the first swim of the season. He has no scars worth bragging-rights...he tries to stay out of a fight! Not that he's always successful... Okay there is that one across the bridge of his nose, at a slight angle pointing upward toward his left eye, and down again to his right cheek.Clothing
Favorite vest is of deep wine-red, nearly purple, fabric that reaches to mid-thigh, worn over a comfortable white lace-up shirt. Travel gear includes a midnight-blue traveling cloak and hood, and brown trousers tucked into thigh-high black books strapped above and below the knee. A wide black belt with bluish silvery buckle (all buttons, buckles, and the like he wears are forged of the same metal); long-bladed knife and belt knife, a boot knife, and another strapped to his forearm under the shirt; instruments include a bodhran, lute, and piccolo.~ ~ ~
Personality
Friendly even on a bad day, but has never made many close friends. Not overly chipper or energetic and surprisingly not a morning person when rooted in one place, though up before the dawn when on the move. Easily adjusts to new situations and ways of life, and the demands those entail. The devious mind of a survivor, though honest by nature. Flirts with either gender, though has shown no personal interest in either.

Extremely pale blue, appearing totally white in intense sunlight. Colorings are solid, reminiscent of grease paint.Personality
Zingy, zany, acrobatic (seemingly boneless), and gravity-defying.History
Clay's egg was a gift from the daughter of one Lord Holder who was utterly smitten with the Harper. Before he could "take her away with him," the Lord found out about their love affair. Lanno disappeared into the night never to return again (not stupid enough that is)....but at least he got a firelizard egg out of it!History
By the time Zatenallo and later Lannoezele were born, Cliphenza already had himself an heir, and because they were not his wife's progeny, the two younger boys had little to no chance at inheriting their family home. However, it was their birth-mother's status that created an interesting opportunity: a place at the Harper Hall. From a young age, both Zatenallo and Lannoezele proved to be a sharp study and gifted in music, so Voletta lost no time in enrolling them in classes.
Even while enduring the often tedious studies required of becoming a Harper, Lanno's sense of humor always pulled him through. The focus of his studies were teaching ballads and storytelling, but once he walked the tables, he used his unique view on life to write in one of the most ancient of known forms of poetry and put it to music: the limerick. Wherever he traveled, he sang songs comprised of "stanzas" each about someone who lived there at the Hold, or Weyr, or Station. When this did not please the crowd and in fact became physically unsafe for the Harper, he used famous subjects from out of old teaching ballads or from well-known (but out of reach) individuals.
Currently, his travels have brought Lanno to ** Weyr, where he plans to say for an undetermined amount of time, depending on how soon before the current Weyr Harper throws him out in exasperation. (Noa looks innocent).
