Name: E'mil (Elemil)
Species: Pernese Human
Gender: Male
Rank: Trader/Searchrider
Age: 31, 25 at Impression
Height: 5'11"

Appearance: With dark skin and darker hair kept to a tightly curled frizz, Elemil is a slight man who speaks with a stutter and moves like a mouse. He dresses in a myriad of colours and adorns himself with many trinkets and bobbles. The sound that they make when he moves is soothing, and their value as items with which to fidget obviously holds some level of comfort for him. Elemil has huge, dark eyes that are always scanning, though his stare can be quite uncanny as when he looks at a person, he seems as though he is really looking at them, looking into them as well as across their surface.
Personality: Elemil is not all well, though he is extremely perceptive and is empathic enough to border on some kind of psychic power -- though being Pern-born and raised, nobody would ever call it as such. He was born amongst Holdless traders and has spent most of his early years on the road, seeing much of Pern in the process. He was not always so nervous and easily frightened. Before Threadfall destroyed his life, he was quite human-savvy and used his gift to read a person's genuineness, and to strike a trade that benefitted himself and his people. He was quite the scoundrel, too. Elemil had two wives, and was working on a small pack of children. With the miscalculation of AIVAS, and Thread's surprise return, his people were left defenseless and out in the open. Metal shingles on their caravan's roofs only managed to stop the Thread for so long: they were miles away from solid rock caverns or checkpoints, and their Runnerbeasts were consumed right from the beginning. Elemil's family was eaten alive as Thread gorged from Runnerbeast to the unprotected underside of their wooden carts. Elemil managed to survive long enough, by some dint of miracle, to be rescued by a dragon-rider. What he saw damaged him deeply and he has never been the same, since.
At twenty-three he was brought back to the Weyr that rescued him -- which happened to be Ista, in fact -- and has spent two years recuperating, if one can call it that. He was Searched immediately for his telepathic powers, however Elemil has refused Candidacy for the last two turns due to his fright of Thread.
Only recently has he been transferred to Sedona Weyr for a change of location. It would seem that his recovery is slowly allowing him to accept that life must move on: he does have one card up his sleeve that he has never shared with anyone, after all. The dragons support him, for he can speak with them just as easily as he can speak with humans.
