physical description:
Demariss is the older twin so it's natural for him to be the taller one. Standing at 5'10", he's about average for a male. Built similar to his sister, he too has more upper body strength than his frame would suggest. As a cook he has received several small burns that mar his forearms and wrists. His left index finger bares a scar where a knife tried to take off the tip instead of chopping the tuber. Luckily he managed to stop before it went too deep.
His clothing is normally of simple colors and cuts. He would rather pour his creative side into his cooking rather picking out clothes. On feast days and Gather days, Cheriss can convince him into wearing something a bit brighter or flashier if she tries. Demariss would rather hide in plain sight than to draw attention to himself
Dark hair is normally worn close to his head, but in the cooler rainy seasons he tries to grow it out a bit. His eyes were inherited from the twins' mother, a bit darker than his sister. This was the main reason they were able to be seen as different children. A smile can be seen on his face from time to time. Most of the time however he can be seen quietly watching the world around him.
personality:
Artistic, Protective, Charming
Like his sister, Demariss is artistic. But this leans more to decorative cooking town his sisters imagination. While he's good at coming up with unique dishes, Demariss's love is in plating up dishes or creating themed tables. His father encourages this hobby seeing it as a way for his son to make it in the world. For a while, Demariss tried other forms of art, but nothing appealed as much as cooking.
With his impulsive sister, Demariss has become very protective of her. When she goes off on her adventures he tries to be right beside her. Since he's protective of her, this part of his nature rubs off on every one around him. If you are lucky enough to be close to his heart he will do his best to keep you from harm. Or what he views as harm.
To do this, Demariss can be rather charming. He will do almost anything to allow one to accept his protection. Going hand in hand with this charming side, Demariss sees both male and female forms as beautiful. While he isn't a flirt by most definitions, Demariss can put on the charm to get the results he wants. Be it a kiss or more, Demariss's rakish grin can get him almost anything.
history:
The day Demariss and his sister were born dawned dark and dreary, but not long before the twins were born, the cloud cover broke. A single ray of Rukbat's glow shone on the small house. As the twins grew up, their father would tell them it was to show their mother the way home. Their mother had given her life to bring her infant son and daughter into this world. Demariss was born a scant quarter mark before his baby sister made her unexpected appearance. No one was expecting the baby girl to arrive at all, especially so healthy and squalling. Demche survived only long enough to see her daughter and name her before drifting away.
Demariss's early turns were as pleasurable as a young boy could hope for. Since their father was a single working parent, Kariss did his best to raise the three rambunctious children. But a lot of the time the three were allowed a lot of freedom. This helped the children on their adventures. One of Demariss's favorite memories is of the time they all went to the dye rooms. Cheriss decided to give Bran a bath in a blue dye that day. Oh the trouble the girl was going to be in! But even then Demariss's protective streak was being made known, for he told the dyer on duty that it was his idea. That he was trying to find out if it would work.
The lady just laughed, and let him off with a warning. But his kid sister fell in love with the idea of a blue pup and would often sneak off to do it again and again. Each time, De took the blame until the day Cheriss was caught. That day no amount of pleading could change their fate. Harsh spankings and grounding was given to the pair. Cheriss for terrorizing the pup and Demariss for lying to covet or his sister.
It was at this time that Kariss decided he needed a wife to keep his rowdy children under control. Demariss formed a mild crush on Myrna the start. He knew the older woman was for hid father, but no one can control a first crush no more than they can control the rains. So with a sort of idol worship, Demariss had his first big fight with his twin. Myrna wasn't going any where if De had anything to do with it!
Sadly the young boy came across a foe even the strongest man couldn't defeat. Myrna contracted CloudLung. Fraught with worry, Demariss didn't eat for days. All the while he wished he could help in some fashion. Soon everyone thought the boy would follow his soon-to-be stepmother. But something else caught the boy's eye. A dear friend of the family, a playmate to the siblings had caught Demariss's affections. Knowing it was all but taboo to feel like this for a boy, Demariss did his best to hide it.
As Myrna passed away, Demariss fell into a depression similar to his twins. But to get way from his pain he chose instead to follow his father's example and become a cook. Hiding away from his pain from Myrna's death and the scary feelings he had for his childhood friend, Demariss found an outlet for his creative streak. Creating new ways to present the abundant food at Green Valley Hold.
When Rissem was Searched, Demariss was proud of his big brother. While he was helping his father clean up from the large party, no one noticed that Cheriss had slipped away. Rissem was the first to sound the alarm, but the younger brother was too far away to hear the cry. It wasn't until the sobbing Cheriss and the deathly quiet Rissem were brought in that De noticed something had happened.
As his siblings were thought to be on the mend, Demariss did every thing he could to help ease his guilt for not protecting them better. When helping Rissem bathe one day, he noticed the high fever. Concerned he looked closely at his older sibling. It was then that he noticed the odd way the wrist was being held.
Summoning a healer, Demariss was worried. This wasn't a good thing. Even young Demariss knew that fever meant infection. His fears were proven right. The healer apologized profusely when he found his mistake. A mistake? No this was a disaster in Demariss's eyes. In an uncharacteristic rage the through the healer out. He did his best to nurse his big brother back to health. On what was to be a very happy day for the small family, they lost one of their own.
Sadness reigned in the household for a few seasons. Each through themselves into their work. Seasons changed to turns, and life moves on. Demariss soon grew to accept his love of both sexes. Even though he never acted on it, he realized it was a part of him. As his sister's eyes turned towards the weyr, Demariss's protective streak warned him to follow her. If he wasn't searched, then he would go as a cook.

If dragonrider:
dragon name: Sionnth
dragon age: Hatchling
dragon size: adult- 23 feet
physical description:
Sionnth is an average sized green at 23 feet, but her frame is long and willowy and she is accounted very slender for a dragon. She is flexible, and even graceful at times, but she also can be a total klutz. Her hide is overall a very pleasing emerald color, marked with what looks like beads of deep aqua colored liquid on her legs, while her whole hide is dappled with lime green in a pattern like ripples of moving water and speckled with dots of grass green.
personailty:
As soon as she bursts from her egg, Sionnth will want to explore. She is an adventurous, restless, and reckless dragon, not to mention nearly insatiably curious. You should never tell her she can’t do something, because that will surely make her get right into it. She is friendly and talkative, and full of joy and laughter. One of her favorite pastimes is swimming, but be forewarned, she likes to splash. She is fun-loving, but easily distracted.
She’s not opposed to work if you can get her to focus on it, and if you make it interesting for her. Sionnth wants every day to be an adventure, and as long as her lifemate is ready to provide that, she will be happy. But beware Sionnth’s boredom. If she’s bored she’s liable to get into trouble. Sionnth is somewhat of a flirt and likes the attention of males, but it might be hard for them to hold her attention.
