Personality: He gets bored very quickly and then makes unpleasant jokes;
there and very few things that can keep him interested and calm. Most
people consider his behaviour as rude, but he can be very polite to
those he really likes.
Background: He was born to a drudge and spent most of his childhood in
lower caverns. His mother didn't pay him much attention so he quickly
learnt to get out of her sight not to be given some work. Romeron spent
most of the time with his friend Niarion and they both soon decided they
want to do in their lives something more interesting than being drudges.
Right then making noise and jokes was the most interesting.
During the classes Romeron was not brilliant, but everything would be
all right if he hadn't been making stupid jokes to the harpers when he
found a lesson boring. When Romek was 11 Niarion, who was about a turn
older, was searched as a candidate and the friends couldn't spend all
the time together.
One day Romeron found accidentally another activity that was
interesting. Left alone when his friend was in his classes, Romek went
to the laundry and decided to sew together the legs of trousers. He
thought it would be very funny to see people walking in it. He was so
absorbed in his work that didn't notice a laundry worker finding him. He
wasn't punished for his joke because the woman thought he was repairing
the clothes and gave him more. As the activity was interesting for him,
he did it as well as he could and only sometimes, when Romek tried to be
inventive, someone could find the material stars or flowers on his
shirt.
A bit later Romeron became apprentice to the Master Tailor who just came
to the Weyr (and didn't believe in the warnings about boy's
misbehaviour) During next turns Romek learnt a lot and calmed down a
bit. When he was proposed to become a candidate he accepted it but
continued his craft education. He liked spending time with his friend,
who impressed a bronze, or at least observe weyrlings classes.
That morning, before the class, Romek was sitting with his friend having
a chat. Suddenly N'rion explained he must go because his bronze is
scared of something that happened in High Reaches. Only a moment later
the shakes started at Telgar too. The last thing Romeron saw there was
N'rion's bronze under the pile of rocks...
Romek run out of the Weyr running, than walking straight until he fell
to the ground exhausted. After a rest he continued his walk... Finally
he found debris of a hold on his way and stopped there for a few days.
When a Fall passed and the food he found was running out, Romek
continued his walk. He lived in caves or ruins taking food from
destroyed buildings or simply stealing. When winter came he worked in a
Hold as a drudge, though pretended being mute unwilling to answer any
questions. In spring continued his aimless walk stopping by at some
minor settlements working there for few sevendays and then going away or
searching through the debris for nay useful things. It was in one of
them that he found two abandoned feline cubs and took them with him.
The second winter Romek spent at the cottage of an elderly lady who used
to sew but had problems with her eyes now. She was glad he could help
her and he had an opportunity to learn a lot from her. But when in
spring her daughter came the boy didn’t feel well and set to road again.
He met and joined the wagons of traders. Despite his small frame they
accepted him as a camp helper. They were on their way to Free Falling
Weyr with a meagre tithe of wool.
Once in the Weyr Romer disclosed from the group. He spent about two days
in some deserted turn of deeper corridor, but then went to the laundry
looking for work there, though keeping his felines hidden not sure if
they’d be accepted.
