Name: Waverly
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Occupation/Rank(Holder, Crafter, Rider): Master Harper
Location: Currently Harper Hall

Personality: Laid back, but world weary and often tired. Life as a harper has seen him through some good times and some bad times. He finds that there is more pleasure in the little things: Children's laughter, a good sandwich and some choice wine and the familiar touch of a loved one. He is the epitome of an old lion. Mellow and unassuming when left alone, but fierce and in your face when irate.

Description or See Pic: Waverly has thick, wild hair staggardly graying through out. His face is weather worn and leather like, having spending as much time out doors as in. Grey eyes that have seen more than their fair share of troubles still maintain the youthful twinkle of mischief. A beard as grizzled as he is accents the frame that is strong and rough despite it's age. However, he is no spring twig, having enjoyed plenty of meals in his time. It shows.



Brief History: Waverly was born unto Telgar Hold in the north as the son of a gemcrafter. Taught the craft of his father, he exhibited signs of the potential of being a Harper earlier than expected and was kept an eye on.

Master Brithan wanted to be sure and eye was kept on the boy. Not one to adhere strictly to the tests, he went about observing Waverly when the child was unaware. After many observations, he noted the boy had talent that was only keyed upon when the boy had his mind to other tasks. Assigning him to Jover, one of the journeymen on holiday during Turn's end, Brithan sent Waverly to Harper Hall to judge the boy's further potential.

Waverly took a little longer than others to adapt to the reginmen of Harper Hold, often being late to lessons his first week. Jover was assigned to him under protest, making sure that Waverly arrived on time for his duties and lessons.

Waverly took six years before he walked the tables to Journeyman, and was sent to Crom Hold. There, his tertiary knowledge of metal and gemstone allowed him some rapport with the residents and he had a somewhat successful stay there as a Journeyman under Master Lyril. He was given the task to journey around minor hold surrounding Crom.

Though he was well liked by the outlying populace, Lyril didn't much care for his style, leading to very little contact between the two. This suited Waverly just fine. Though capable, that relationship prevented Waverly from attaining Mastery longer than he probably would have normally.

Once Master Lyril passed away, a new Master was sent to Crom and he "encouraged" Waverly to become a Master.

Following his Master exams, he stayed on at Harper Hall to teach newly arrived apprentices. Being one of the more easy-going Masters, he would help foster some of the more nervous apprentices into an easier transition. He was a favorite of many apprentices. One such apprentice who became a journeyman extended an invitation to him to attend a Fire Lizard Hatching. There, he impressed Filcher, a bronze Fire Lizard.

Filcher is a lazy thief of a fire lizard. No food is safe from him, attended or not. In more recent months, Waverly was also adopted by a feline, Sneak. Sneak is an obnoxiously loud cat. Together with Filcher, both exhibited a maddening ability to team together for larger thefts of food.
