physical description: He is tall, but not abnormally so, standing at about six feet tall. He has an average build, certainly not corpulent, but not noticeably thin either. He has a round face and wide, dark brown eyes. His face lights up when he smiles, and he has cute little dimples. He is naturally pale, but he gets a light tan if he has been out in the sun for a while. He has dark brown, slightly curly hair that always seems to be a touch messy. He keeps it short for convenience. He likes to wear fine clothing and his color of choice is, of course, Harper blue.
personality: Rendel is serious and focused. It is very difficult to ruffle his calm demeanor, and he rarely loses his temper or shows that he is stressed out or worried about something. He has the undeniable charisma of a true Harper, and his calm personality has a soothing effect on people. He is equally introverted and sociable--while he does like his moments of solitude, he loves people, and he would not be able to do without them. Everyone fascinates him, and he will sit and listen to anyone’s story. He also loves women in particular. As a young man, he was very flirtatious, but now he has toned it down a bit and his flirting tends to be more innocent.
He is very diplomatic and he strives to be nonjudgemental towards everyone he meets. If he does have a strong negative opinion about someone, he will reveal it only to his closest friends, if anyone. Likewise, he does not show favoritism. He does, of course, have favorite apprentices, but he tries not to make it known. He expects the same high standards from all of his apprentices and journeymen. He can be a strict Master, but he also rewards a job well done. Of course, music is his life, and Rendel loves his craft with all his heart. He is talented in all areas, but his greatest strengths lie in composing and writing.
history: He has humble roots as the second son of a farming family who resided in a small cothold outside of Nova Hold. He has an older brother, Delucan, and two younger sisters, Lura and Rasia. His talent for music was apparent at an early age. As an infant, his mother could always cheer him up with a song, and when he was old enough to sing himself, he almost never stopped. His father helped him make his first gitar when he was six turns old, and he spent hours learning how to play. His parents were never sure how they had produced such a talented son. His mother loved to sing and his father could play basic instruments, but their son had passed their skill level by the time he was ten. He was lucky to have loving parents and supportive siblings to foster his talent. At the age of twelve, he was easily admitted to the Harper Hall as an apprentice.
For the first few weeks, Rendel was extremely homesick, and he almost wanted to leave the Hall. Once he got used to it, though, he fell in love with the Harper Hall. As an apprentice, he made lifelong friends and had a chance to harness his untamed talent. He worked hard and impressed his teachers. His biggest challenge was his naturally reserved nature, which got in the way of his performances. During his first few turns as a Harper, he was plagued by stage fright. It took a lot of training and encouragement from friends to finally get over it. Once he did, he hit the ground running.
He became a journeyman at the age of nineteen, and he was assigned to a small cothold similar to the one he had grown up in. He enjoyed being back in a smaller setting at first, but after a while, he realized that he had become too used to the busy Harper Hall to be truly happy in a tiny Hold. In between performances and lessons, he amused himself with adventures with new friends and with flirting. He had a fling with one of the Holder women, and there were talks of marriage, but that dissolved when he met Dachia, a new Journeywoman Harper. He was quickly infatuated with the charming, flamboyent Dachia, and they had a passionate affair that resulted in the birth of Rendel’s only daughter, Renlia.
About a turn after Renlia’s birth, Dachia was assigned to a new Hold. Rendel was chosen to stay at the Harper Hall and help some of the Masters with teaching. Rendel and Dachia’s romance began to fade, and neither had any difficulty picking a new mate. Rendel switched lovers every few turns or so, and he never married.
He began working towards his Mastership, and he eventually received it at the age of twenty-nine. A turn later, he was assigned his own class to teach. The Hall Master was getting old, and there were all kinds of rumors flying around that he was going to retire soon. Several Masters were keen on the position, but Rendel was too busy just getting used to being a Master to worry about it. A few turns later, however, the HallMaster began talking to him more, and he began to realize that he was being groomed to become the next HallMaster.
No one was surprised when he was named the new HallMaster when the old one retired a turn ago. Some of the older Harpers were upset that such a young Master had been given the spot, but most were happy that Rendel had been given the spot. He has been extremely busy since being appointed HallMaster, but so far, he enjoys the job.
