Your Formal PC Name & Any Alias': Jez Firetongue
Age, Sex, Race? 25 years old, male, Drykas
Describe your character in a short abstract? Jez has spent the majority of his life following The Run with Endrykas, his Pavilion too small to risk breaking away and himself too fond of them to leave for long. He's a friendly man who follows the concept 'work hard, play hard'. Once he is sure someone poses no threat he is quick to befriend them, to some perhaps a little too quick considering the cautions he was taught to have around strangers. However, life on the Sea of Grass is inconsistent so he is just as quick to forget them if there's little chance of seeing them again. Someone would have to do something major, like harming his bonded Strider, to see Jez get angry.
Are you a Resident (Kuvan)? If not, how long are you visiting for? No, visiting from the 33rd to 46th of Spring.
What did your character experience recently that had the most impact on them? Given that he's taking his first trip into a stationary city, it was probably meeting Rena. She comes from Riverfall and has planted the idea to visit in his mind.
If your character could meet a God or Goddess, which one would they want to meet and why? Definitely Caiyha. He is devoted to her and to the ideals of having balance between all forms of life. He doesn't really understand what needs to be done to achieve that yet, so if he got the chance to meet her he would ask her advice on what path to follow to gain a better understanding.
Do you like threading about violence? Why or why not? I love to! It's so exciting! Unfortunately Jez isn't a violent character so I doubt I'll get much chance to do so with him.
Do you like threading about sex/love/romance? Why or why not? It depends on how I'm feeling about the characters. I hate threading something that's too set up, so if the characters naturally lean in that direction I can go with it, but I won't really try to set something up like that unless someone approaches me with a long term plan to create the situation. I'm sure I could enjoy it eventually, but because I like it to happen naturally I don't get to roleplay those sort of themes often so find it more stressful to convey what I mean in the thread more than anything right now.
Is your character in cult, group, etc? Is it taking members? Not unless you count his Pavilion, the Firetongue Pavilion. It's accepting members, especially women to marry the Ankal's nephews and have children, to expand the Pavilion.
Do you like social threads? Why or why not? Yep! Like I mentioned above, I love characters that naturally fall into a relationship (good or bad) with each other. I've found the best way for that is to start out with a social thread where they actually get to know each other IC.
What does your character want to learn this season? Jez is going to Riverfall because he's curious about what a stationary city is like, so he wants to learn how people live differently in Riverfall. He's going to come away having learned that just because their lifestyle is different it doesn't have to be bad, and doesn't mean a stationary city exists as conflict to nature. It's going to be a difficult lesson for him to learn, and he'll spend time afterwards grappling with the idea, but it will ultimately help him better understand what his position in the world means (both within Endrykas and as a Drykas living among wildlife). Hopefully it will set him on the way to becoming closer to Caiyha. (this is the closest I could think of that was relevant to Jez in the sense of the 'renewal' theme, it'll be like he's getting a fresh perspective on life but I couldn't go much further into the theme since he'll only be here for 13 days)
Which other RF PC would your PC really love meeting? I don't know who will be around, but if there's an Akalak character then he would love to meet them. He's heard so much about them growing up that he wants to get to know them personally.
Do you as a player want to see your character being able to do this season? Visit some of the different locations in Riverfall and have a lot of thinking time at them. Also, hopefully, get to know some PCs.
Why exactly as a player did you select Riverfall? It goes well with Jez's IC journey getting to know someone from Riverfall, and Endrykas happens to currently be close by. I want him to experience the wider world eventually, but he's not the sort of character to leave for ages on his first journey, so Riverfall felt like a good start.
In terms of me being a moderator, if you could have me run anything for your PC what would that be? Well getting Phylonura would be great, but Jez isn't ready for that in terms of the threads I've done, so maybe a thread covering the first time Caiyha speaks to him.
Additional Comments: I hadn't looked too far into the lore and codex before now because I haven't had a character here before, but I am seriously impressed. I just wanted to say good job to everyone who put it together!
