Deceased: Died in Selenitas Earthquake Plot
Name: Jaetif (Jay-TIFF)
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Rank: Candidate // Junior Journeyman Tanner
Physical Appearance: Jaetif cuts an imposing figure with his impressive height of six feet and his muscular build, but a look at the laugh-lines around his eyes shows that he is a gentle giant. His hands are rough from working as a tanner, and he is darkly tanned from time spent outside. His hair is jet black and is almost shoulder length. He has warm, dark brown eyes. He always stands up straight, with no slouching, and his appearance is neat and orderly. Jaetif wears plain, practical clothing with little embellishment, and he feels uncomfortable if he has to dress formally for an occasion.
Personality: Jaetif is very unassuming. He's one of the least offensive people you'll ever meet. He is quiet and rather shy, and he tends to blend into the crowd. He is soft-spoken, rarely raising his voice or making a scene. He doesn't feel the need to be the center of attention and he is fine with letting others be in the spotlight. He is extremely laid back, and Jaetif generally gets along with everyone. Even if he does dislike someone, he is simply too polite to make it known. It seems that he can always find the good in a person, and he will never spread gossip or say nasty things about others.
Despite his easygoing, gentle personality, Jaetif is also a very hard worker and dedicates himself completely to whatever he gets involved in. He is fiercely loyal and you can always rely on him in a crisis. Dependable and responsible, Jaetif can be counted on to get the job done.
Jaetif is extremely polite and courteous to everyone. It's almost like he doesn't know how to be rude. Even if someone is rude to him, his natural reaction is to be even more polite in return. His one guilty pleasure is at the table, because he has a voracious appetite and he'll eat everything within reach at mealtimes. He has a complete weakness for gourmet food, sweets, just anything that tastes good. Fortunately, he has a daily workout routine so being a connoisseur doesn't have any negative results.
History: Jaetif was born in Southern Hold, the older of two children. He has one younger sister who is two turns his junior. He was raised a proper gentleman, with good Holder values. Like most Southern Holders, his family disapproved of dragonriders, but they were not as vehement as some Southerners.
Jaetif had a good, happy childhood, rather uneventful. The big turning point in his life was going to the north at age eleven to become an apprentice at the Tanner Crafthall. The north was a big adjustment for him, even though he had been raised at one of the more conservative southern Holds. He didn't understand the treatment of women as inferiors and he felt alienated by the north's strict views on things. During his time at the northern Hall he became more quiet and he spent much of his time alone, too shy to be friends with the northern-born apprentices.
Naturally, he requested to be sent back to the south after his apprenticeship. He returned back to Southern Hold with great relief. He found that his time in the north had made him appreciate Selenitas more, and when a Search rider invited him to come to the Weyr, he didn't hesitate.
He was at the Weyr when the attempted invasion from the north happened. When the candidate barracks were blocked off, he remained in his room and he wasn't involved in the main line of defense, but he did help in the infirmary after the invasion. The invasion strengthened his loyalty to Selenitas even more, and he longed to Impress and become a rider. However, he was left standing at every Hatching. After more than a turn in the Weyr, he is considering trying for a wher at the next clutch, in hopes of having more luck with them than he has with dragons.
