Crayon Awards: Favorite New Male Persona (August 2011)

Physical Description of Persona:
Namiren is slightly above average height, standing approximately 5'10". He has an average build, but is reasonably well muscled. His facial features are chiseled, and decidedly attractive - the Minor Holder has had no difficulty getting the attention of the ladies. His skin has a medium tan from time spent outdoors, highlights the lightness of his blue eyes well.

Namiren is typically well dressed, and is quite aware of how flattering the color blue is on him. He is also rarely found without jewelry, some of which that he makes for himself.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Namiren developed a certain amount of narcissism from being an only child, that was only enhanced by the knowledge that he would one day be in charge of a Minor Hold. In his personal life, he is frequently selfish, and doesn't really consider the long term affects of his actions. He is frequently regarded as a womanizer, although his actions would be considered "tame" by Weyr standards. The one thing that he is very aware of is what would happen if he were to "deflower" a Lord's daughter, or a similar lady with familial connections.

That's not to say that he's a poor leader, as he is very concerned about the prosperity of Green Valley. He understands that if the Hold were to fall into ruin, that he would go down along with it. Despite his selfishness, he is always willing to do whatever necessary to keep things running well, and to make sure his Holders respect him. He is generally conservative in his view of women - he doesn't believe that they should be involved in the craft, and it does annoy him somewhat when the Weyr Searches from his territory (although he wouldn't speak that publicly).

History of Persona:
The first son of Minor Holder Remusad and his wife Namiria, Namiren was groomed from birth to take over Green Valley. His training became more intense over the turns, as Namiria failed to have another child. Remusad was frustrated with his wife's failings, but since they had one child, and he was fond of her, they did not divorce. Namiren spent some of his younger turns fostering at other Minor Holds, so he could learn how things worked outside of Green Valley.

Remusad wanted Namiren to be well rounded, and thought that it would be good for Hold relations for the boy to spend some time each turn at the Smith Hall. He hoped that in addition to allowing him to see how differing conditions called for differing leadership techniques, that Namiren would also learn how to properly represent the Hold.

At 21 turns, Remusad's health began to fade, and Namiren was called back to Green Valley full time to both aid him, and to learn as much as he could before his father passed.

Remusad had allowed his son to remain unwed while he was crafting, but with his own death imminent, he put the majority of his efforts towards remedying that. What he was unaware of was that Namiren had no interest in marrying, and was "losing" some of the messages that his father was sending and receiving to the parents of prospective brides. Remusad's death when Namiren was 23 turns would shake Namiren, and a temporary Minor Holder named Kohler took over for a few turns until Namiren was declared ready to take over.

More recently, things have been looking up for the Hold, and Namiria pushes her son to find a nice girl, settle down, and produce some legitimate heirs.
