![]() "I'm emotional support! It's one of the many services Deep Forest Weyr Lower Cavern Folk offer to their rider counterparts." Name| Rinous (nickname: Ri) Age| 19 Turns Gender| Genderfluid (Biologically Male, uses he/him pronouns) Orientation| Polyamorous Pansexual Rank(s)| Steward Weyrmate| Yukina, rider of black Kalirith Romantic Interests| Rinous loves everyone it seems. Specific notable current attractions include: jr. weyrwoman Yukina, rider of black Kalirith, wingrider S'ric, rider of brown Cabraith, and jr. weyrleader K'dar, rider of brown Arkieth. Appearance| Ri and Riri (Tyrina) could very well be twins as far as appearance goes. Rinous stands at 5'11, built androgynously. His hair is the same mousy brown/dirty blond color as his sister but, because it falls to his shoulders, appears lighter in color. It is usually pulled back in a low runner's tail. His eyes are the same bright green as his sister's. His features are fairly soft and slightly feminine. Personality| Rinous always seems to be in a good mood. Very few things can bring him down and, even then, not for long. He lives in the present, not giving much care about the past or future. Life is in the here and now. And he makes it his goal to make sure everyone around him is doing well. Rinous learned Turns ago that he has next to no control over his life. Every time he tries to get his life in order, it all seems to come undone. So he stopped really bothering. Life comes as it comes and planning for his future is a waste of time and energy. He is well mannered, well behaved, fairly intelligent despite his lack of formal education, and always eager to lend a helping hand. However, he's also extraordinarily lazy (efficient? laid back?) and will happily drop most assigned tasks to go do something more entertaining. Somehow, though, he still manages to get all his work done at the end of the day. Rinous's playful, outgoing, relaxed nature hides a deep, inner wisdom. He's seen and experienced quite a bit for a cotbrat of only 19 Turns and has learned lessons from all of it. He genuinely means well in all he does and wants the best for everyone around him. He offers advice freely, takes it in stride when it's not accepted, and tries to help others in any way he can. Just because his own life is a mess that has no future doesn't mean that everyone else has to suffer like that as well. History| Rinous is the 2nd son of a family of 10 now, consisting of 8 boys and 2 girls. Every sign showed that Rinsasa was carrying a girl, but out came a healthy baby boy instead. Put on the spot for a male name, she chose Rinous, not even thinking that it didn't really work as a combination of her and her husband's name. Perhaps that is when Ri and his father started their animosity against each other. While Rayler, his older brother, seemed a spitting image of their father, Rinous took after their mother. He was a happy, playful baby who never made much fuss. When their sister, Tyrina was born, Rinous took immediate fascination to her, even at barely over a Turn in age. And it is still like that to this day. If there is one thing Rinous loves most on Pern, it is his sister Tyrina. She's also one of the things he regrets the deepest. He regrets that he couldn't do more to protect or save her from the things life threw at them. Growing up, Rinous was more keen on following his mother and the women around rather than going out and working the fields with the men. He loved to play dress up and help out with other kids and the women loved him for establishing himself early on as a sort of minder for the ever growing lot of kids in the cothold. Not completely effeminate, Rinous could rough-house and tussle with the best of them, which was sometimes necessary to break up scraps and re-establish order. His father did not approve of of his son's mannerisms and behavior and tried many times to drag him out in the fields to put him to work as men did. That usually ended up with Rinous coming home sporting a black eye or some other signs of a beating after being found sleeping in the field rather than working it (but Rukbat's rays just felt so nice!). As their siblings all started showing ambitions and dreams, Rinous and Tyrina just sort of stagnated. Rayler got an apprenticeship with a Beastcrafter traveling with the trader caravan that passed through a few times a Turn. Tynasar was apprenticed to the Harper Hall when he came of age, gifted with music of all sorts. Lerin, who was incredibly intelligent and could do anything he set his mind to, was fostered to a family in Igen that could give him more opportunities than this place had (he was later Searched by Igen Weyr). But Ri and his Riri? They just sort of... did nothing. Rinous got it in his head that he wanted to take over the running of the cothold from his father but that was ages away so why worry over it now? Tyrina had some hope for being apprenticed to a local old Healer but that just sort of... fell through. The two hung around with the other kids who didn't seem to have much ambition for their future, wasting the days drinking, talking, and, well, talking. Riri becoming a woman took Rinous by surprise, especially with how early it seemed to have happened. But, well, she seemed alright with it all. Otherwise she would've said something to him, right? At some point in their hazy teenage Turns of debauchery, fellis entered the mix. Rinous was able to avoid addiction to the stuff, not big on it. He felt awful for not being more on top of it all when Tyrina nearly killed herself and almost burned down the house with all of them in it after passing out next to the hearth in a fellis and alcohol induced fog. He cleaned up his own act and tried his best to help her clean up hers. Things were beginning to get better... then Tyrina was Searched. Without his sister around, Rinous felt distinctly out of place in his family. A black ovine, he fell back into drinking, though not heavily. Mostly out of boredom. He stopped hanging around several of the guys he had used to when he found out how both they and that old Healer had damaged his sister, feeling agonizingly awful that he hadn't caught on to any of it and just let her suffer in silence. He kept his mind and body busy helping his mother and trying to learn the important things to running a cothold. His father had given the kid up as a failure and threatened constantly to make him holdless the moment he could convince his wife to let him go. Rinous knew he just had to hang on long enough for his father to realize there was no one else capable of running the place. His mother thought he'd be good at it! So did lots of people. Then, one day, his father came into the home unusually happy. Whistling, even. Ralyer had graduated to a journeyman in the Beastcraft. Tyler had negotiated a marriage with the caravan so Rayler could travel with them. And, on top of that, he'd negotiated the future of the cothold. How? Why, by arranging for a son of a local Lord of a small hold to marry his daughter. Rinous pointed out that Tyrina wasn't part of the cothold anymore. On top of that fact was that she was a dragonrider now. Those couldn't get married. Tyler waved it off and declared it a done deal. Lord Delric would get the cothold to add to his claims and the family would rid itself of a problem. Rinous ended up in a loud and violent argument with his father over it. How could he just give up the cothold like that?! What about him? And how could he be so disrespectful and displeased with a daughter who was a dragonrider?! It was only through the pleading of his pregnant mother that Rinous wasn't cast out immediately that night. The wedding was awkward, to put it lightly. It turned out that Riri's "husband" was a fellow rider at her Weyr-- a cute brownrider named S'ric. Who was also incredibly unhappy over this. The wedding was a blur of heavy alcohol use on the part of Rinous and his sister. Rinous managed to become drunk enough and was distraught at how everything had turned out that he was manipulated by Tyrina into taking her place in the marriage bed. He came to his senses before he did the unforgivable and, horrified at what he'd nearly done, took his leave back to the cothold. No one really ever mentioned the wedding or that night again. Rinous had a tumultuous last few months in his childhood home. When his newest sibling was born, a baby girl, Rinous was cast out holdless. His mother was too weak from the birth to be able to stop his father from doing what he'd wanted to do for Turns. Rinous decided to rejoin his sister. It made as much sense as anything else. And, well, it was easier for a holdless to get into a Weyr than it was to get into a Hold, especially someone with no real skills. The tricky part was getting to Deep Forest Weyr. He made his way to Igen Hold and, from there, negotiated his way to Igen Weyr. It took several months before he could get a ride to Deep Forest Weyr, getting the chance to see his brother Lerin Impress before he left. The Weyr was always happy for more Lower Cavern workers, especially ones already vetted by another Weyr. Rinous was taken aback by the changes in his sister. But, true to form, loved her regardless. He never recalled her so bitter and so just angry over things. She was happy, however, when near Kara, and that was all that mattered to him. Anything that made her happy? He'd be happy. He also found S'ric at the Weyr. Immediately throwing himself at the brownrider's feet, he begged, groveled, and pledged his life to the young man to atone for his unforgivable behavior. He then had to separate his sister from his new Lord, Tyrina having attacked S'ric, blaming him for all of it even though it was all her doing that led to this. It remains a sore spot between the siblings. Other than his trying to meddle in his sister's messy, chaotic affairs (as any good brother should), Rinous has found Weyrlife greatly to his liking. Always free with his love and affection, the Weyr has welcomed him and his eccentricities with open arms. He shamelessly flirts with anyone and everyone who he comes across while working his usual stations in the Dining Cavern and Kitchens. Dragonriders are really, really pretty~ Unexpectedly, he found himself in a relationship with the resident blackrider, Yukina. Not used to or really able to commit himself to one person, he nevertheless has refrained from engaging in any other relationships with women while with his Yuki-yu, at her behest. The blackrider doesn't seem to think men are a threat (though she still wants to give any he wants to pursue her stamp of approval). Even more unexpected, on a random bet with the Headwoman over the results of Yukina's Kalirith's clutch, Rinous has suddenly found himself with a promotion to Steward. Guess when you stop trying to find your future, your future finally finds you.
