If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have fallen apart by now
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that would be have swallowed me up, but that's more than I can allow."

PLAY-BY: art by Julesintherain (bottom) and ironicmemeing (top, coming soon)
FULL APPEARANCE: E'nyo has a medium skin tone, not quite dark, but certainly not light either. He wears his straight hair cropped, a short mess of black. His clothing choice tends to be simple and utilitarian, generally in earthy colors if that's what he can get his hands on. By his side, on a belt, he wears a (rather dull and nicked) knife. Despite its leather sheath, he does little to hide it. His off-hand, the left, has a thick scar along the palm, resulting in reduced mobility.
In build, E'nyo has some degree of curves, with a short waist, wide hips, and broad shoulders. While his form has some softness about it, he works out enough to maintain powerful muscle. He binds his chest and wears clothing that hides his natural body shape. He stands at around 5'8", perhaps a bit taller, but he is certainly not a towering man. E'nyo has soft and muted facial features, but he generally appears relatively androgynous, even masculine. His eyebrows are thin, delicately arched, and his nose is small and slender. His eyes are a deep, warm brown, with flecks of amber.
He is naturally stealthy, able to sneak around without being noticed, and he is a strong fighter.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Forged from adversity, E'nyo has come out stronger and more resolute. He will not give up, and he will not let Nohadoth down. Most everything he does is for her dragon's sake. He's become more serious since Nohadoth’s injury, and a bit grumpier, but he still finds moments to relax and tease others, joking around. He acts more aloof and reserved than he used to, but the man who laughed easily and often still lies beneath the surface. Still, he is more driven, more determined, and more willing to do whatever it takes. Now, however, his goal is to protect others: Nohadoth, weyrlings, the weyr. He's quite prickly, but a bit less politically minded, hoping to help his dragon cope with the loss of flight.
Still, E'nyo is rude, blunt, and at times, even teasing. He hasn't lost his sense of humor, and while he does seem a bit tougher, a bit rougher, he just wants to do what is best for his dragon. He refuses to sugar coat things, and if you get upset by what he says, that's on you. Somehow, he manages to watch what he says around Nohadoth, so his lack of tact is a conscious choice. A bit serious at times, E'nyo simply takes a bit to warm up to someone. Once he gets to know you--and once he's able to relax a bit--he can be friendly and sociable. At present, however, he is hyper-vigilant, constantly prepared, and even somewhat paranoid. While he seems cold, and his temper is difficult to awaken, his fury is an immeasurable, fiery wrath, and he will not let anyone put him down. If anyone so much as implies something rude about Nohadoth, he will have their head.

HISTORY:
TW: Death
[A'lin profile]
Erenyo was born, assigned female at birth, in 2740, well into the interval war, to a poor couple in Fort Hold. His parents were older, and his father needed assistance walking. Erenyo often helped out from a young age. His mother succumbed to an illness, due to poor conditions making recovery harder, when Erenyo was 12. His father gave up on life without his beloved wife, and passed shortly after. Despite this, Erenyo loved his parents and missed them dearly when they passed. He was sent to a nearby cothold, and although the family that tried to raise him was kind, Erenyo was not their child. It was brutally evident--they'd always forget to bring him treats from gathers and markets, and he never recieved the love their birth children did. When he was 14, he ran away.
After this, Erenyo lived among a holdless group for several turns, migrating with them, often living in abandoned cotholds or small cave systems. He eventually became an informal leader to some of them, and those he led broke off from the main group. He did his best for those he considered to be his 'people,' caring for them and providing for them--and learning to defend them, when needed. He had two close friends, and together they frequented the area in and around a minor hold. There was some "prejudice" (justified mistrust) towards them, as they were a group of vagrants. Although finally free from petty politics, squabbling, and wars, Erenyo hoped to find something for his people to live in. He did keep tabs on politics and current events, regardless.
The new pass arrived, and thread came with it. Even with the war over, it didn't change the disagreements between Weyrs or Holds. It did, however, make the group less migratory, staying in an abandoned cave system near Fort. Shortly after, one of Erenyo's dearest friends, Possindai, surprised him by demanding, backed up by several others, that Erenyo leave, or face consequences. Possindai had seen Erenyo's role of leader and caregiver as one of power, and had slowly turned most of these holdless against Erenyo, misplacing their anger about their situation (holdless, sick, and often hungry) towards their leader. Erenyo refused, trying to call a bluff, but he was attacked as a result, with an improvised knife. Deflecting the attack with his hand, he received a nasty cut, which would get infected but eventually heal. Erenyo agreed to leave, but his other dear friend, Kalieri, wished to accompany him. Erenyo was left bitter, and still yearns for revenge on Possindai and those who turned against him, regardless of the help and care he'd given them.
Shortly after leaving, a mixture of poor weather, illness, and malnutrition led to Kalieri's death. Erenyo tried to care for her, but her death, although painful, was still quick. Shortly after, Erenyo found a firelizard egg and Impressed to green Mid at the age of 18. Since Fort Weyr and High Reaches Weyr both seemed unsafe, Erenyo eventually found his way to Igen Weyr. At first, he felt as though he would not be welcomed into the Weyr. Perhaps they would let him be a drudge, but what kind of life was that? He snuck into Igen's lower caverns, and made his home there for a short period of time, before he was discovered by a searchrider. The rider would have had his head, but his dragon insisted that he had search potential.
From 19 to 21, he was a candidate. During his candidacy, he was taught several skills, as his upbringing had left him illiterate and uneducated, beyond what he'd taught himself or learned to survive. He could read simple things by the time of Impression. The fateful hatching included the first female bronzerider that Erenyo had ever heard of, as well as a small white dragon, who deliberately chose Erenyo, and demanded to be fed immediately, because he was absolutely starving. He was shocked, and it was hard for him to have a dragon know him so intimately. It was a struggle at first, but he grew to be able to rely on his Nohadoth.
Despite disliking metallics, one of the weyrlings in his class was a female bronzerider. Of course, that was normally no cause for alarm--interesting, yes, but not alarm. The way others treated A'lin, though...that was unfair. E'nyo defended this metallic rider, even if it ostracized him. Perhaps by some accounts, the low-ranking whiterider shouldn't have spoken up, but he couldn't believe they were mistreating a metallic. He quickly befriended A'lin, and grouped her outside of the typical metallics. He wasn't going to let someone be picked on by that, especially not for who she happened to Impress. Why did male bronzeriders get to do whatever they wanted, but A'lin wasn't even allowed to Impress her own sharding dragon?
E'nyo grew to hate Igen with a passion, and was more than happy to transfer to the first available Weyr. A'lin transferred to Fort when E'nyo was around 23, and the whiterider followed, thinking it to be the best option. The peacekeeping aspect, especially, spoke to him, even if he was more chaotic and less generous, these days. Any weyr would have those who abused power--it was up to E'nyo to make sure they didn't harm the underprivileged. It was not to last, however. When E'nyo was around 24, the Titans left the Weyr, following a brown's unfair banishment by Serapheth. He spoke critically about the Weyr, and ended up fleeing to the Summerlands, and was taken in by the titans, to form Semaca. Since things have settled down at Fort Weyr, though, he often goes to visit A'lin.
