Name: Meardi
Species: Yaroii
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Birthdate (Season): Summer
Occupation: Livestock Caretaker
Family: Father-Erlan, Biologist, 41
Mother-Palaset, Musician, 43
Sister-Faladi, Physicist, 25
Brother-Stanan, Livestock Breeder, 20
Sister-Kaycei, Musician, 20
Mate-Lathre, Teacher, deceased
Son-Cairys, 5
Physical Appearance: On the large end of the scale, his tail is a bit stumpy and his hind legs are particularly well-muscled and strong. He is 3 feet, 8 inches from nose to tail. His scales are a dull greyish-brown color, slightly dark near his spine, but smoothly fading to a pale brown on his underside. He has no fur on his head; his fur crest starts on the back of his neck and extends down his spine, running quite thin and leaving most of his body bare, though it does extend slightly over his flanks and around the base of his tail, finally ending about halfway down the tail. It's a very dark brown, almost black in color.
Personality: Meardi is exceptionally calm and even-tempered, something that is particularly apparent in a crisis. His actions are always deliberate and thought out before hand, and though he can be slow to act, he's rarely late. Fair and mindful of others, he doesn't mind being put in charge of others, but he is quite independent and to be honest, he would prefer to be alone, doing his own thing. He is generally introverted and far from outgoing, though he is friendly and kind when interacting with others.
Meardi has a lasting fondness for animals of all kinds, and sometimes thinks he gets along better with them than with other yaroii. He has been caring for them from a young age, and it's unsurprising that he's chosen to make a career out of it. Though he's primarily a loner, he is very close to his son Cairys, and since his mate's death in the crash, has become the child's sole caretaker. He is usually a peaceful person, but where his family is involved, he'll do whatever he needs to in order to protect them.
History: Born in a clutch of two with his sister, Meardi's parents' relationship was short-lived, but their father was around often enough for them to get to know him. Faladi was always closer to him than Meardi, but that didn't mean they disliked each other, and all of them got along fairly well. Meardi and Faladi joined the same class at two years old, along with two other young yaroii from other households.
When Meardi was five, his mother decided it was time for more children, and his younger brother and sister joined the household. By this point he was spending much of his time outside the household and saw little of his siblings or mother. Having loved being around animals since he was a child, Meardi decided to become a caretaker and perhaps breeder of certain species of livestock, and started working as such soon after turning ten.
He found a mate among one of the other yaroii in his class, Lathre being a close friend already, and they started courting at twelve, though they were both engrossed in their careers for a long time and decided the timing was not right for children. His son was not born until eight years after they started courting, and it was a clutch of one boy only, named Cairys. His and Lathre's relationship was still going strong, and Meardi was proud of his son as well.
When the plans for the colony were announced, Meardi was approached to accompany it in order to care for the livestock being taken along, and he was eager to agree. His mate wanted to go as well, and they brought Cairys with them. When the crash occurred, however, Meardi was separated from them, and was tasked with helping to save who he could rather than search for them. He managed to find Cairys and keep him safe, but he was too late to save Lathre, who had been injured in the crash and died shortly afterwards. After mourning her, he took custody of his son, being his only family member, and went back to his job, desperately trying to help the new colony survive.
