Birthplace: Vyrzen Weyr
Appearance: Cemasle and Semacle, obviously, share the same body, so they both look the same. To make this appearance easier to type, they will be refered to as "Cemasle", since well, he was there first. Skip to personality if this confuses you. ... kay, let's continue with apperances.
First off, body structure. Cemasle's body structure is rather small and light, like a girl. In fact, he could be mistaken for a very flat-chested girl. Cemasle's limbs are rather average length, but they contain virtually no muscle, or that's what it looks like. It's true though, he really isn't that strong... but he's quick, being able to move and dodge fast due to his smaller size. But that doesn't make much of a difference, since there aren't many physical fights on Pern. Cemasle is also very short, and I mean VERY short... but no, he's not a midget, so get that thought out of your head. He's probably the size of a... short girl. For future reference, let's just say 5'0''.
Cemasle's hair is a dark, black color, and if it's in the right light it can almost look blue. His hair is longer in the front, sort of like bangs, but off to the side. It gets shorter in the back, but not too much shorter, and is a pretty even length all around. In front, his hair reaches to about his shoulders, maybe a little farther. In back, his hair is a little shorter, probably to about 3/4ths down his neck. His hair curves around his face, and it can get fairly messy if Cemasle doesn't brush it for a while.
His eyes are a very pale brown, bordering golden in color. Cemasle's eyes are bright, innocent and wide, while Semacle's eyes are usually more narrowed and angry. Judging by the shape of their eyes is a good way to tell who's in control, as there are noticable differences. Semacle's pupils tend to get smaller as well, giving him more of a cat-like look.
Cemasle prefers a variety of clothing, and his tastes do vary from Semacle. Cemasle seems to like rather "girly" looking clothes, very loose and light, and in very bright colors. Cemasle will rarely be seen in anything dark, and he also likes to wear shirts with interesting, vibrant designs. Semacle is the opposite, and he much prefers darker, tighter clothing, although he does like loose pants. Semacle doesn't like to wear anything that'll make him stand out, while Cemasle loves the attention, so of course he'd be wearing all sorts of bright and colorful things. He is somewhat pale, although Cemasle probably leans more towards an average tan. He does spend a lot of time outside, so his skin is a bit darker than it's original tone.
Personality: Basically, Cemasle and Semacle are two "souls" or personalities in one body. They both share control of one body, and can willingly (or forcibly) switch between each other. I'd guess you'd call this Split Personality Disorder, except the two of them can converse inside their minds with each other, and are fully aware of each others existance.
Despite sharing one body, Cemasle and Semacle are complete opposites of each other. Cemasle is kindhearted, sweet, and always trying to be a good person. He's also rather meek, although he isn't shy. Cemasle is friendly, outgoing, and easily hurt. He has low self esteem, and is more of a follower than a leader. However, he is very open to making friends, and in fact, he makes friends rather easily, and loves to be around people. He doesn't really like to be alone, and has abandonment issues. Cemasle also doesn't have much of a temper, and it takes a LOT to make him angry. He's also rather... flamboyant and girly. Self explanatory.
Semacle on the other hand, is rude, spiteful, and just plain hateful. He's very bossy, as well as manipulative. Semacle doesn't like anyone, and most people don't like him... and he's fine with that. He would much rather be alone with his thoughts (and Cemasle) than be out with other people. Semacle can also act... a bit like a psycho, especially if theres blood involved. He's come quite close to killing someone before, and it's only a matter of time before he does it again. Semacle can't control his anger, and unfortunately, he's very easily angered, especially if something is threatning Cemasle.
Despite being an angry, mean thing, Semacle is actually... nice, deep down. VERY deep down. He only wants to protect Cemasle, and will do so at all costs. While sometimes his anger gets the better of him, Semacle's intentions always start off good, and he only wants Cemasle to be happy, that's pretty much his whole existance. Semacle doesn't like to get close to other people, and will just idly watch by when Cemasle makes friends and gets along with other people, always watching from their mind, giving his little sarcastic comments every now and then. He was "born" to protect Cemasle, and that's what he's going to do.
The two of them also have very different tastes... in well, everything. Especially food. Cemasle loves anything sweet, to him, the sweeter the better. Even things that would have someone wretching from the sweetness. Semacle on the other hand loves anything bitter. He despises sweet, and much prefers salty, bitter or just anything that isn't sweet. Due to this, the two generally have a hard time picking out what to eat, but Cemasle usually ends up winning because Semacle will get pissed off and go silent.
The switch between the two of them is a bit hard to tell, but usually one can tell by the voice alone. Cemasle's voice is light and boyish, while Semacle's is harsher... as well as a bit raspier. It's also possible to tell by their eyes, as Semacle's eyes are generally cat-like slits, while Cemasle has uh, normal eyes. It's also easy to tell by just the way they act, as the two ARE pretty much complete opposites.
History: Ready for angst? Okay, here we go....
Cemasle's parents never particularly cared for him. Yup, that's how all these things start. But hey, if he had loving parents, why would he develop multi-personality disorder? Exactly. So his parents never really cared. However, Cemasle himself didn't really care or know his parents. Instead, he relied on his brother for everything. They were close, as close as siblings could be. Ever since Cemasle could remember, it was just him and Kaval, and Cemasle was okay with that. He was happy.
His brother would spar with him all the time, telling Cemasle that he was really good, and always praising him. Cemasle liked it. He enjoyed sparring with his brother. As time went by, Kaval also began to work with rather sharp objects, teaching Cemasle how to use old-school things like swords and the like. Kitchen knives worked too. Cemasle probably should have figured out something was wrong right then.
Eventually, he did find out. Kaval was planning on killing their parents, and using him to do it. While Cemasle had never known his parents, Kaval did, and he hated them with a passion. Cemasle, however, retreated into his own mind, utterly shocked at what Kaval was planning to do. His shock and horror eventually sparked a voice in his head... "Why don't I take over for you," it said smoothly, "I'll deal with it for you." It didn't sound evil, it didn't sound harsh. It sounded like it wanted to protect him. That was the "birth" of Semacle.
From the moment he came to be, Semacle knew that his only purpose was to protect the one who had called out to him. And that he did. Semacle was now in control of the body, and he wanted revenge on Kaval for causing Cemasle so much grief. Kaval, however, was no where to be found. A few days later, they found Kaval, and he was insane. He wanted to continue teaching Cemasle, to make him into a killer and to murder the entire Weyr. As you can probably tell by now, Kaval had some issues.
But Semacle didn't go with his brother. He walked away, knowing what was best for his "other half". A few years went by, and the two began to grow up together, with Semacle dealing with all the things Cemasle didn't want to deal with. Of course, most people didn't know of their situation, and just thought that Cemasle suffered from moodswings, sort of like a bipolar disorder. That was fine with the two of them, as neither Cemasle or Semacle wanted extra attention.
Of course, since Cemasle was a nice little Weyrbrat (despite his "issues") he was made a Candidate when he turned 14, about 2 years since Semacle was "born". He was happy, of course, but the idea of getting a dragon confused him. Impression confused him. He figured it would be something like Semacle... but then what would happen to Semacle? His other half was also quite worried about this. If Cemasle had a dragon to protect him... what would be his purpose? So naturally, neither were very excited about the Hatchings, although each could fake it rather well. But two years past, and still no Impression. Cemasle was sure he'd be fine becoming a Harper or something similar, but he did continue to Stand. It was his duty, afterall.
Dragon
Hang on. xD
