Personality: A rather private person, Farley likes to keep his personal life to himself, he’s professional in his jobs and adores being a harper, his preferred instrument is the guitar and although he isn’t bad in most areas of harpering, it is this area that he excels at best. His weakness his probably his voice, although it’s still of singing quality, it is not his best asset. He is extremely loyal to his craft, and tries to avoid fighting and arguments. Farley is a reasonably laid back type of guy, having been reared like that from the start by his parents.
Although his parents are surprisingly accepting of his sexuality, Farley has learned that this isn’t always the case where-ever he goes and so, has learned to keep that part of him secret, he enjoys the pleasures of both girls and boys, and whilst he doesn’t need the hide the girls, it’s the boys that he knows can get him into trouble.
He’s adventurous, and willing, and thrives on learning... Any type of learning, from new songs, to new skills, he’s willing to give it ago. He loves to teach as well, and that is particularly why he thrives so well at what he does.
Physical description: Once nicely tanned with dark brown hair, having returned to Fort Territory has returned his skin to it’s normal white colour. His eyes are nothing special, just general bright showing his good health, and green. Some say they are ‘kind’ eyes, but Farley doesn’t believe that such things exist, eyes are eyes after all.
He’s not exactly tall, and neither is he well muscles when held in comparison to a dragonrider, but his body isn’t bad. He isn’t fat, but he isn’t scrawny either. He likes to keep active and that keeps him reasonably fit, although, he’d struggle to keep up with the pace of weyrlings at the Weyr.
His hands are that of a worker, rough and dry, the skin on his fingers tough from time spent playing his guitar, something that he takes everywhere with him..
History: Farley was the only child born to his parents, Healer Farah and Harper Leymar. Some would say born late in this families life, but both parents had waited until they were no longer Journeymen of their crafts and could settle, although there were chances that they’d move as masters, it wasn’t as often as journeymen happened to move on, and both parents had agreed that that type of life was not ideal for a young one, and neither really wanted to consider
fostering and so they had waited.
He was brought into the world on a dark stormy night screaming his little lungs off, and there was no doubt that Farley had entered the world, he grew up in Fort Hold Territory, between the hold, and the halls. From a young age he was happy to learn and his parents taught him al they could of their own crafts but it was music that caught the young lads attention the most. He was always good with instruments and took a liking to guitars.
His early days were great, spent between learning the craft he most enjoyed and playing with the other children, and it was of no surprise that he apprenticed to the Harper Hall when he became of age. It felt like many turns that he stayed as an apprentice for, and it wasn’t until he reached his 25th birthingday that he managed to walk the tables. His parents proud of his achievement clubbed together and got him a firelizard egg as a present, the egg hatched bronze Jair and although Farley had his hands full with the little monster from
day one, he’s fond of him, and wouldn’t have it any other way.
Having lived on Pern during the dreadful illness and hearing about the dragons perishing, seeing people loose their flits, Farley was nervous about having Jair, but, knowing that such creatures are now limited in the world of Pern, Farley knows how much of a meaning his egg was from his parents... and it’s something he’ll never care to forget..
His first assignment as a Journeyman was Bitra hold, to work alongside the resident master harper there, it wasn’t his best placement, Lord Ferrison was a harsh man, and 3 turns later, he was glad to be finding himself back at the harper hall awaiting his next assignment.. It was during the first turn at Bitra that Jair got the scar that runs along his left side. Always a handful and into
everything the flit had managed to get himself caught up in kitchen business, what exactly happened... Farley doesn’t know, no one will admit too and the flit’s images doesn’t really make sense, but from what he gathered, Jair’s belly got the better of him and the flit got himself stuck somewhere.
He was surprised to find his next assignment Tristar weyr, MasterHarper Geldan deciding that the harper hall needed their own ‘eyes’ in the Weyr, disturbing news has been getting back to him about the Weyr and it was felt that Farley would be the best to send.. and so he went, spending a while there he soon became accustomed to the ways of the weyr and settled in well.. falling in love with Randael, one of the Wherhandlers and guards from the weyr.. however, things went terribly wrong, and when Randy got caught up in a flight, Farley’s hall up bringing couldn’t understand the concept.. feeling upset and betrayed, Farley returned to his hall in Fort where he stayed for 4 turns before feeling like he needed to return..
His return to Igen weyr (where they had moved to)was difficult for a number of reasons, firstly, seeing Randy again reminded him of the feelings he had.. but he’s still uncertain whether the relationship can work again… and secondly, his son… now that came as a surprise..

Pet information
Name: Jair (Ji – ah)
Age: 7 turns (Turn of hatching: 1157)
Type: Firelizard
Colour: Bronze
Personality: Inquisitive and a troublemaker, that is how Jair is best described.
The little bronze still needs a lot of training, and although Farley is trying,
the little bronze is proving a challenge. He doesn’t like to listen, unless he
feels there is something in it for him. Deep down he knows everything he’s been
taught, but Jair just conveniently ‘forgets’ it.
Physical description: As far as Firelizards go, he’s mostly handsome. Despite a
small scar that runs down his left side. He’s a solid dark bronze, and so, the
scar tissue stands out pretty well on the bronzes hide. He’s lithe, and fit,
definitely not over fed, although, if his had his way that would change.
