Basic Info| Name: | K'del of High Reaches |
|---|---|
| Location: | Australia |
BioBiography:
Kasadel hails from a cothold not far from Tillek, where his parents and siblings raise grapes that eventually become Tillek red. He had a happy, busy childhood: with six brothers and two sisters, 'quiet' was not a term well-used to describe the family home. Even from an early age, however, Kas was eager to prove himself - with so many older siblings, all successful in their own ways, it was hard for the (second) youngest to stand out as anything but the baby.
As adulthood approached, he could see more and more clearly that if he wanted to be more than just another grape grower, his place could not always be within the bosom of his family, no matter how comfortable he found the relationship. With so many brothers, inheritance of the vines was clearly not his lot, but nor did he particularly take to the idea of working forever beneath his eldest brother.
Thus, soon after his fifteenth turnday, Kasadel finally made the decision to leave home, and find some way that he could prove himself as much as any of his brothers with their crafts, holds, and marriages. Somewhere, he was sure, there was a life more suited to his tastes: beer instead of wine, and perhaps employment with more immediate payoff than the long-term, painstaking development of the vine. He made his way first to Tillek, briefly enjoying employment crushing grapes, but jumped at the chance of going further, to the weyr, accompanying the tithe, where he hoped opportunity might present itself.
Mere sevendays after his arrival at the Weyr, Kasadel was Searched for Rielsath and Malsaeth's clutch, and went on to Impress bronze Cadejoth - opportunity enough for anyone. He had only been graduated six months when his ambitions got turned on their head, when, on his seventeenth turnday, Cadejoth caught senior queen Iovniath, and thrust K'del into the position of Weyrleader.
Description:
Curly, short-cropped hair the colour of warm toffee shades K'del's handsome face, matched in the light fuzz upon his narrowly pointed chin, and the long eyelashes that surround his baby-blue eyes. His features are delicate, almost pretty; he avoids outright prettiness in part thanks to the faded acne scars that line the high-boned cheeks of his fair-skined face. Slenderly muscular, and standing several inches above six foot tall, he carries himself with the confidence and comfort of one older than his teenaged turns, a nonchalant swagger marking his step.
K'del's dark blue shirt is winter-weight, made of a fabric blended from wool and linen, and though not brand new, is in decent condition. He wears it tucked into his heavy, dark breaches, belted at his narrow waist with a handswidth of twisted leather. His boots are newer than the rest of his clothes, though they could definitely use a scrub, and dark brown in colour, a perfect fit for his large, wide feet. His knot is made of cords dyed blue and black, with a single strand of bronze, marking him as the Weyrleader of High Reaches Weyr.
