What would you like to be called OOC? Sandy

Character
Name:Dother
Age:27
Gender:Male
Rank: Cotholder (Unsanctioned)
Sexual OrientationHetero
Family: Wife, Jolende.
Previous wife, Elery, died birthing his second child. Both children were taken in by his eldest brother and he has not seen them since.
Parents: Verger & Dodeshe; Brothers: Verdesh, Shekner (both older) and Gendesh.
Appearance: Dother is 5’8” with a somewhat burly build. His skin is tan and his hair is black and crisply curled, kept short and oiled down to keep it in perfect ripples. He has straight white teeth and a wide grin. His eyes are brown, his eyebrows are thick and he has a tendency to squint. He has no scars or distinguishing marks in publicly visible places.
Dother wears a wide brimmed woven straw hat, loose grey trousers and a light colored, long sleeved jerkin that gathers with cords at the sleeves. A long, rusty brown vest will cover the jerkin in cooler temps and he has leather boots. A woven cord belt holds his pouch and knife – both unexceptional – and he ties a large bandana around his neck.
Personality: Dother is a man who craves to be – or appear to be – more than he is. He exaggerates and misrepresents almost everything and those who know him long enough will see through his words and wonder what he hides. Most don’t bother to wonder. Dother breaks friendship ties easily, tending to drift away from those who are less fooled by his manner and before he is confronted about anything they may perceive as lies. What little contact he has had with dragonriders has been bad or at least embarrassing to him.
Hobbies/Skills: Dother can claim gambling as a hobby but not as a skill.
Pets: Specks the ox pulls Dother’s supply cart but is not *really* a pet. Speck is mostly reddish brown with darker brown mottling and white speckles on his sides, belly and legs. Dother’s cart is a narrow, sturdy two-wheeler that can be taken on smaller trails and roads.
History: Dother was a younger son in a woodcrafter family. His interests would not follow the family craft but he initially sought to maintain ties with the woodcraft by becoming a supplier/transporter of the craft. This activity took him past the world he knew and he became less and less reliable in his original endeavor – mostly grubstaked by his eldest brother.
In an attempt to impress his family, he married a girl and started a family, leaving her and the baby with them when he had longer trips to make.
Dother began to gamble and then started to do errands to help pay his debts. He stayed away from his wife longer and longer, only feeling he could come home when he was ‘flush’. Dother’s brothers began to hear things about him and they confronted him about his activities. During a big family confrontation, his wife gave birth and died hours later. His brother, Verdesh, took custody of both babies and exiled Dother from the family cothold. A dragonrider at the cot on business enforced the order.
In his turns of travel, Dother ran across a seemingly abandoned cot that he began to use as a base. He also convinced an elderly couple, Garbur and Rusa, to help work the cot. As they had nowhere else to go, they jumped at the chance but were too old to be enough help to keep the cot going well.
During a lucky streak, Dother won a debt from one of his customers and managed to collect in the form of one of the man’s many sisters, Jolende, as a new bride. While his new bride was not as beautiful as his previous one, Jolende proved a useful hand in the cothold.
Dother, in his travels and trading, has crossed paths with the Holdless and is finding that some of their goals are worthy of support.
He has offered some support and supplies to the Holdess though he does not consider himself one of them – feeling as if he is legitimately holding his discovered cot. His new cothold tithes to the Holdess so he can appear to the other occupants to be tithing properly to weyr.
