Name: Cavelieran
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Senior Journeyman Dolphineer at Lake Dolphin Hall
Senior Apprentice Healer (Never finished training)
Born: April 11, 2992
Physical Appearance: As with most Blossom holdfolk, Cavelieran has cheek-length blond hair, fair skin, (despite a surprising amount of sun ) and deep blue-green eyes that match the lake he basis his life on. The man could be considered handsome, he's tall, slender, and pleasantly muscled because of all of the days he has spent training in and on the water. Standing at around five foot ten, Cavelieran is taller than most boys his age, yet he doesn't tower over them. Quiet, soft features let everyone know that this journeyman doesn't judge others by their first appearance. Although one of the more interesting features on his face is a scar on his cheek, located under his left eye. It doesn't mar his face, but rather adds an interesting uniqueness to him.
Personality: Soft-spoken, polite, and courteous he knows his place in the world. Cavelieran achieved his Journeyman status through patience and his well founded knack for learning and listening. His intelligence isn't only placed in learning, but in diplomacy and strategy. Known in the Dophineer ranks for his long fuse and trustworthiness, Cavelieran is often subjected to helping the resident master with plans surrounding their area of work. Built for the business of planning, this Dolphineer thinks things ahead and takes in all the consequences of his actions. Taking his time with his problems, he very rarely acts in haste or rash movements if he can help it, for Cavelieran knows that it will usually do more harm than good. Another one of his more dominant traits is his compassion to those who need it, and even those who don't.
History: Born at Blossom hold, Cavelieran grew up living with his mother (Desraya) as an only child, since his father was a dragonrider from Selenitas. Although he was able to build good friendships because of his mother, she was a healer and many women brought themselves and their children to her when they got sick. Being brought up alone by his mother allowed him to develop a responsible streak at a very young age, and because of that his mother trusted him to do things that she wouldn't let anyone else do. Hoping that her son would become a healer in her foot steps, Desraya began to teach him about what she does on a daily basis. Although as the years passed, his mother began to realize that Cavelieran's heart lay not with her healing techniques, but with the rolling waves of the lake. Saddened slightly by that fact, she let her son off of the tedious training she had watched him speed through just for her benefit. It wasn't until Cavelieran brought up the notion of him entering the Dolphineer hall, did his mother totally let him off of his healer apprenticeship.
Six months after his entrance into the renown Dolphin Hall, and while he was still an irresponsible young teen, the young apprentice received the scar under his eye. A small storm had picked up power as it hit the lake, and one of Cavelieran's closest friends had been caught out in the middle of it. In one of his bouts of rash behavior, the young man set sail on his own to find him, and it didn't help that he wasn't very skilled in handling a boat. An hour passed and, little announced to him, his friend had somehow made his way back to the shore. Winds tore at Cavelieran's uncontrolled sails and the choppy surface threatened to take his small boat under, but he was able to somewhat control his boat until the elements combined against him. Feeling his body plunge under the freezing, storm tossed white caps, the young man tried his best to break the water's hold on him. His lungs burned after a few minutes under the water, and when he was on the verge of blacking out, Cavelieran heard the sound he'd hear for the rest of his life. A high pitched squeaking and clicking erupted around him as he sunk lower into the depth of the lake, and before he knew it, he was being lifted to the world of air. Breaching the surface of the water and gasping for breath, Cavelieran felt himself being supported by his rescuers, although he was vaguely aware of who or what they were. Dragged from the lake by his angry, yet thankful superiors, the young apprentice coughed up a fair amount of water because of his mothers firm coaxing. Looking up at the faces of his Master and mother, Cavelieran heard two phrases he'd never forget. "Look a he must have nicked his cheek and the boat, that will turn into a scar, maybe it will teach him to think more.", that of course was from his mother, but the second one was from his Master. "The dolphins saved him Ma'am. I'm glad they knew he was one to save." To his embarrassment, he later found out that his take on the storm's size was wrong, it was his lack of skill and worry that had blown it out of proportion. Though it was a bigger than normal storm, it still wasn't as bad as he had thought it to be.
Enduring his punishment with a smile on his face, Cavelieran knew that he owed his life and soul to the Dolphins that lived migrated out and around the Lake. Although it wasn't until a few weeks after did he finally realize that a specific female had begun to hang around the hold docks. It was odd to say the least, but Cavelieran found himself visiting the lake more often just to go out and swim with her. Caught shirking his apprentice duties by his master, which was a rare occurrence, he looked up from the game he and the female dolphin had been playing. Expecting to be punished for skipping his chores, Cavelieran began to haul himself out of the water, only to be shoved back in by his master. Confused by his actions, the blond teen turned his attention back to his master for an explanation. Listening intently, while stroking the female's smooth skin, Cavelieran was surprised to find he had collected a Dolphin partner.
At the age of seventeen, he has recently achieved the rank of Journeyman II Dolphineer with his Dolphin partner Raidy. One of the youngest of that rank the hall has ever recorded, Cavelieran is rather well known through out the hall's current and former occupants. Although if the noble Holders of Blossom hold remembered him from the Dolphin hall when they were attending it, he didn't know, since neither he nor his mother really spoke to either of them. At one point in his past, Cavelieran remembered being at some point, friends with the two, but it was foggy and in his childhood. Although he hardly saw the pair, there were times that he exchanged a few polite words with them if he happened to chance by them. One such occasion was when Cavelieran impressed his dainty Green firelizard from one of Sasha's smaller clutches that had been held at the Hold itself, it being to small to even bother a mention of it. Spending most of his days out in the lake with Raidy, he continues to study his trade in hopes to become a master Dolphineer.
Selenitas Relevance:
Although Caevelieran lives in Blossom Hold, it doesn't mean he was never affected by what went on at Selenitas. Sure, he didn't care about escaped Goldriders, crazy Northern Bronzeriders, hatchings or flights. But he did care about his Cousin Nautic and what happened to him throughout everything at Selenitas. Like in 3010 when Benden swooped in and tried to kill the Weyrwomen, he was afraid the younger man would get killed in the onslaught. (3011 for him was a less stressful year, with the exception of Raidy giving birth to her first calf of course. That alone gave him grey hairs.) Or 3012 when Benden again invaded Selenitas in the attempt to take it over, and when Fort attacked Selenitas's main hall when Nautic was inside it. Of course every time Selenitas needed people to help reconstruct their Weyr, Cavelieran was always one of the first to volunteer. He was so happy for Nautic in 3013 when he Impressed a Green Wher that the Dolphineer practically dragged his mother up to Selenitas to congratulate his Cousin. Plus, their mothers hadn't talked in for ever so it was sort of a "kill to birds with one stone" thing.
In 3015, Cavelieran had just recently helped his Dolphin give birth for the second time when Wasteland attacked and took over Selenitas. It wasn't hard for any of the Blossom locals to tell that the Hold was outraged with the invasion, having loved the Pacifistic Selenitas for what it was. This sudden change to a militaristic style Weyr did not settle well, especially when it came to taking candidates for their hatchings. Half of the time Cavelieran saw the searchriders, they weren't really nice, or very polite either. Just... strict and brisk. One of the Riders even took his most current Apprentice away, which annoyed the Senior Journeyman to no end. Which was why, when his Lady Kalisto and His Lord Tentieon approached him, he accepted a rather perilous mission.
He'd been given orders (among three or four others) to secretly ferry supplies to the exile's Weyr, known to them as Burimyu. Only once did the Dolphineer get caught, but it was by an exile rider by the name of Elysia. She was, despite her beauty, a rather cold woman. Which he supposed was fitting, they had been caught in a blizzard because her Dragon did not wish to fly back right before a storm and were forced to share his cave for the night. Cavelieran continued to do this throughout Burimyu's exile, that is until Selenitas experienced a devastating earthquake, one that even Blossom Hold could feel. They of course sustained little damage, but they had to stop sending secret supplies because... Selenitas moved in with Burimyu. Cavelieran had mixed feelings but was in no position to voice his concerns, except to that of his friends. And in the middle of 3017, the young man bonded to Raidy's youngest child, whom he had named Rukto. Successfully acquiring a second partner and life long friend.
3018-3023
Honestly, Cavelieran had amost little to no involvement with the War, especially when it came to the fighting. The only thing he did was to accompany the Blossom Lordholders, Masterdolphineer and their delegation to the summit as their message Runner. As only a Senior Journeyman, he didn't have a voice that mattered, in fact the only time he said anything is when the Dolphineering Masters randomly bounced idea's off of him. He of course, was not affected at all by the desicions that the Summit dissolved with, he was a normal Crafter without a Dragon or a Wher attatched, but he knew that a few of those people may come to live at their lovely Hold. He happily volunteered to show those people around the Hold Proper and help them settle in, they were going to be there for a while after all. What made Cavelieran the happiest among these Turns was Nautic and Eikane's adoption of Einata (well, that and their joining... and the fact they were going to live in Selenitas Hold, which wasn't to far away and they could get there by navigating the water ways so he didn't have to leave his Dolphins behind). Oh, I almost forgot to mention, in 3018 Cavelieran once again ran into the elusive Elysia and her Weyrmate while they were on vacation and... helped deliver her baby. Which was very awkward and strange. Fortunately though, helping birth humans was not to much different than helping to birth dolphins... well, except for the whole underwater thing.
2023
What does this Turn herald? Well, for one, it starts his final two Turns toward finishing his Senior Journeymanship and walking the tables to become a Master. The last few turns are perhaps the most nerve wracking of them all... Expect stress and nerves to abound.
