Name: Teval
Age: 21
Rank: Lord Holder
Gender: male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: Teval is fairly average in looks, but his attitude lends him some sort of attractiveness for some. He is medium height, about 5'9, and slender. He has the thin, healthy build of a man who does no hard work but who is too young to grow a gut just yet. His has a naturally darker complexion and his skin has a tanned, healthy glow to it from his time spent outside (playing, rather than working). He has shoulder length black hair which has a slight wave to it, and it gets curlier in humid weather. His eyes, one of his best features, are a deep shade of blue. They are often lit up with delight or mischief, and his charming smile comes easily to his face.
Personality: Too naive and irresponsible to be a truly good Lord, Teval is beloved nonetheless by many of his Holders for his cheerful and friendly nature. He is extremely outgoing and he will socialize with anyone and everyone. He isn’t snotty at all, although he doesn’t always understand not everyone has the same privileges he grew up with. On the downside, he is definitely an attention seeker, and his flamboyent nature often results in unintended insult. He doesn’t particularly care what anyone thinks of him, which isn’t exactly a good quality for a Lord Holder. If Pern had tabloids, Teval would make frequent appearances in them. He is well known for his reckless adventures around the Hold, as well as for his shameless womanizing. Most don’t know about his “manizing,” but certain young man are not safe from his flirtatious ways, either. In addition to his other faults as a leader, Teval knows little about politics and doesn’t really care to learn more. He relies mostly on advisers when making political decisions. He supports the Weyr, but mostly just because he thinks dragons are cool.
History: Teval is the oldest son of the late Lord Kevrin and his wife Lady Bade of Danac Hold. He was raised by his mother with help from several loyal creche workers. Like any Lord Holder's son, he had a privileged upbringing with basically anything he wished for. He was an only child for two turns, and after that he was quickly joined by younger sister Kanta and little brother Brendin, both within nine months of each other. Teval and his two closest siblings never got along particularly well. Teval and Brendin were constantly in competition, and when they did reconcile, it was usually to team up and pick on Kanta.
As a small child, he didn't really understand the implications of being the oldest child of a Lord Holder. When he was older, he realized he was the heir to the Hold. His father started taking him to different parts of the Nyocia area, giving him lessons on running a Hold and politics. Teval was smart enough to be good at the lessons, but he usually hated them. He wanted to be riding a runnerbeast around the Hold, playing with his mother's fire lizards, or going on adventures with the other kids.
His rambunctious side never wore off, even when he approached his teen years. Bade had more children, making it more difficult for her to keep an eye on the older ones, and Teval rarely asked permission to do anything. He often visited Gathers or went camping with friends, preferring the "great outdoors" to being cooped up inside the Hold.
Like most teenagers, he became interested in girls after he reached puberty, and as a future Lord Holder, there was no shortage of young ladies ready to flirt with him. His curiosity about other young men was more disconcerting, and he knew better than to mention it to anyone. He thought it was just a phase, but when he "got to know" a handsome Greenrider on a drunken Gather night, he decided he could indulge himself in such pursuits once in a while. He liked girls too, so it wasn't a big deal, right?
Within four or five turns, Teval had grown out of a somewhat awkward adolescence into a not terribly more mature, but at least more self-assured, adult.
Teval had always been apprehensive about his future position as Lord Holder, but managed not to think about it too much because his father wasn't going to die for turns yet. Right? Wrong! No one was more shocked than Teval when the seemingly healthy Kevrin died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Teval was unexpectedly thrust into the Lord Holder position a few months ago.
Pets: Tan fire lizard Ace. He is a medium sized tan. He is fairly well behaved, but he can be very energetic and he demands a lot of attention.
There are an assortment of racing runnerbeasts in the Hold stables which he technically owns, but his favorite is Ocean's Fable (just Fable for short), a blue roan stallion.
Other: Nothing I can think of.
Password: Numbweed.
