Name: Rocest
Age: 53 (July 2969)
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Lord Holder of Selenitas Hold
Appearance: Rocest was once a skinny weed, but no longer. A tall, lean man, he is not an imposing figure, but neither is he one to be missed. While fit, he does not bear the bulk of muscles that would mark a working-man, such as a dragonrider or miner. Instead, his muscle comes from riding, not the sort of exercise to build up bulk, though his runners are exceptionally well-trained and lovely animals. He's been slowing down with his older age but is still a fit man for a guy in his 50s.
His dark hair is kept feathered, not cropped, and loosely brushes the nape of his neck and falls onto his forehead, hiding a slowly-receding hairline, though he is by no means going bald. His hair is beginning to get grays in it. His hazel eyes are usually grave or hiding behind a book, as his favorite activites are riding and reading, though they don't seem to do together at all. He can usually be seen with smudges of dust or dirt, for Rocest is unafraid to get dirty with his people, though by need he wears clothing cut from a finer cloth than his people.
Rocest favors simple clothing, usually wearing loose breeches, knee-high boots, and a loose shirt with belled sleeves drawn at the cuff, prefering linen and cotton to silk or wool. In the winter he adds a woolen cloak and leather gloves to his ensemble, switching his lighter clothing for a heavier fabric. Only at formal events will he ever wear the finer clothing accorded to his station, particularly the form-fitting clothing favored by Lords.
Personality: A serious man, Rocest has been occasionally referred to as a "stick." However, when he is out with his people, in the fields or in the library, his true nature is revealed. Rocest is not slow to smile, nor to laugh, though what he finds amusing may leave others bewildered. He loves his people fiercely, and is intensely loyal to both his family and the more benevolent leaders of Selenitas. He is interested in keeping the mutually beneficial relationship with the weyr, always. He discovered a passion for reading early on, and discovered runners later. He also enjoys sailing and fishing, especially with his family or his "underlings," who he prefers to call his "advisors."
History: Son of the old Lord Holder, Rociel, Rocest grew up learning how to be a holder. His father died of a heart-attack when Rocest was 24, and the title passed to him with little contention. He married Asmorn, his mother's Lady Maid, soon after becoming Lord, and soon had children with her. Krist was an anniversary gift.
- alarmed by war when it broke out
- sent support to lake dolphin hall after attack on it
- worked to improve Selenitas Hold standing with the weyr when Thread came again
- surprised by Shmee's impression
- support for Selenitas throughout all the incidents
- angered/confused by dragonrider death at a Gather hosted by Selenitas
- remained loyal to Selenitas despite Wasteland takeover though he didn't approve of new leadership
- sent a lot of support after the earthquake
- continued to tithe despite ambiguity of the weyr's new whereabouts and goals
- surprised by Sel involvement in great war
- mostly quiet at Summit, wasn't sure leashing the dragonriders would turn out well...or mixing them, didn't want to speak out too much though
Family
Father: Rociel (deceased, former Lord Holder)
Mother: Estamna (deceased, former Lady Holder)
Brother: Roman (54, JM3 Herder)
Brother: Tarcel (52, Masterfisher)
Sister: Estelle (47, JM2 Weaver, seamstress)

Brother: Rolian (40, Selenitas Administrator)

Daughter: Rin (20, holdbrat)
Son: Rian (15, holdbrat)
Pet species: Firelizard
Name: Krist
Color: Bronze
Age: 25 (October 2997)
Appearance: A tiny bronze, Krist is horribly proportioned, with long legs and a stumpy tail. He is not a very good flier as a result, with horrible steering, but he is fantastic at jump-gliding and other such activities. A gilded splash on his hindquarters looks a little like a flower, as Rin has pointed out several times.
Personality: Grumpy and antisocial, Krist doesn't like anyone but Rocest, preferring to remain aloof rather than sitting on his shoulder as many firelizards like. However, he seems to want to stick around, and will loyally follow his master around, though as a messenger he certainly leaves a bit lacking.
Pet species: Runner, Istan desertbred
Name: Sun-in-Glory
Color: Palomino
Gender: Stallion
Age: 14 (3009)
Appearance: A beautiful burnished gold color, this fine-boned stallion has a flaxen mane and tail and is in excellent condition. A very fast runner.
Personality: Well trained but fiery, Sun-in-Glory is an excellent stud and an excellent mount. Though palomino does not breed true, it is hoped he will sire many gold-minted runners on his mates.
Pet species: Runner, Istan desertbred
Name: Vixen
Color: Chestnut
Gender: Mare
Age: 12 (3011)
Appearance: A deep, burnished copper-red, this desertbred mare is a lovely example of chestnut coloration. Her mane and tail are a shade darker than her coat. She has a white sock on her right foreleg, and a white spot on the inside of her left rear ankle, but no other markings.
Personality: Fast and curious, Vixen is always in trouble. However, her intelligence will make her a fine mount once she is trained, and a clever dam. (is trained now)
