Appearance:
When completely naked, it's clear that Aren is not as he appears at first. At first glance, and indeed after intense scrutiny, clothed Aren is very clearly a man. Naked, it's a different story. Standing at 5'10", Aren does have his height going for him, but he does very clearly have breasts and the stretch-marks of a woman who has gone through childbirth more than once. He does his best to hide these, however. He has trained his body to help him maintain the ruse, strapping his breasts down and building up his muscles. Naturally slender, on top of his inability to eat well due to the stress of his difficult life, Aren is extremely skinny, so the muscle he does gain isn't very prominent.
Generally wearing loosely fitting and clearly masculine clothes, Aren passes quite easily for a man with his small breasts strapped down with a long roll of bandaging material and a sock in his underwear. His straight, warm red hair cropped short and his expression are clearly more masculine than feminine. He is certainly a very pretty man, with dark eyes and round, kissable lips. His square chin and his slender sloping eyebrows somehow balance each other out to give him a more gender ambiguous look than anything else. Sharp cheek bones and large ears that are close to his head finish his face. Man or woman, Aren is attractive, if visually confusing. It is unfortunate that he cannot undergo hormone therapy. Fortunately, though, he has managed to disguise his voice quiet well by having a trained Healer carefully damage it so that it is raspier than a woman's. His voice, already a low alto, now sounds more like a high tenor. While as a child he could sing very well, due to this complicated procedure, Aren can no longer hold a tune, which he certainly appreciates because it does seem somewhat more of a man-thing to be unable to sing. The real downer is that his shouts, while loud, don't sound especially threatening, coming out raspy and broken.
Personality:
Reckless, Outgoing, Happy-go-Lucky, Angry, Secretive, Masculine
Reckless:
Rather reckless and outgoing, Aren is surprising considering his extremely unhappy childhood. Or rather, perhaps he is not so surprising, absolutely set on convincing everybody that he is a HE, and that is that! He has a long history of getting into excessively dangerous, life-threatening situations. He's the sort of guy who will ride a wild wher for a bet, just to prove just how masculine he is. He gets into a lot of brawls.
Ougoing:
Quick to make friends, especially among the fairer sex, Aren is well known for his good humor and his quick tongue (;D). Always smiling, Aren is often the first of the men to go up to a pretty girl and ask her to dance, which surprises the others considering he is rather scrawny, physically.
Happy-go-Lucky
Always, always, ALWAYS smiling, Aren doesn't seem like someone who's gone through a tough past. Instead, he seems like one of the healthiest, happy-go-lucky fellows around, always eager to dance and race and just live life to its fullest.
Angry:
Quick to anger,this is the counterpoint to his Happy-go-Luckiness. The moment someone insults his masculinity, Aren punches them in the face if they're a man. If they're a girl, he drags them off to the forest and proves to them how manly he is, whether or not he really knows if he has the girl's consent or not. While not a rapist, as he doesn't -force- himself onto girls, he does often ruin friendships by convincing them to do things that they did not want to do in the first place. When there's no one to fight or 'Fly,' he goes for a run, or goes hunting.
Secretive:
No one really knows about Aren. Of course, it's hard to be open about oneself when you have a uterus but pretend you have a prostrate. No one knows where he is from, and unless he really meets somebody he feels he can trust, no one ever will.
Masculine:
A man's man, Aren enjoys the dirtier things in life: tart and brutal Tillekian wine, a good fight, hooting at some girls... Nobody doubts that Arendon is one of the manliest men around.
History:
Born second to a very happy Lord and Lady Holder couple as Dorenna, the young child was raised to be a proper young lady... except that she rebelled in every way possible. By the age of four, she knew that she hated dresses and skirts and she purposefully would cut her hair off whenever she got the chance. By the age of five, she was saying her name wasn't Doren-na-, but just plain ol' Doren, which sounded more like a "cool boy's name" to her. Her parents were concerned, sure, but they didn't worry much until they started introducing her to other well-off little Holder families to marry her off to. An especially conservative Hold, Dorenna's home-Hold was stifling and heart-killing for her.
By seven, during these meetings to potential suitors' families, she literally would puke on purpose to make potential families of potential future suitors not want her. This worked for quite a long time until she started to get to the age that she was able to meet people who might marry her... like, the next Turn, as opposed to the next decade.
When she was eleven, she met her husband, Raibenos. Her family practically boxed her up and sent her to Raibenos' family Hold, where the Hell began. She was not yet old enough to marry, but Raibenos didn't care. At 25, Raibenos was already a danger to young girls. Knowing that Dorenna would be his wife only made things worse for her. The rapes began the same Turn she arrived, sending her into vomiting-fits afterwords for the violation in a place that she did not feel was her own: she was a boy, he was not a girl. These rapes only solidified this for him.
By the time he had his first child at 12 (marrying a few months before that, and frowned upon for seducing Raibenos), Doren had given up on life, accepting the lot he had been given. He nurtured his son, Raibelan, as best he could while living a lie in frilly skirts. At only 12, he was not an able parent. Fortunately, Raibelan had the chance to be raised by his grandparents. At 14, after a repetition of the rape and impregnate process, the especially fertile Dorenna was pregnant again, this time with identical twin girls, who he was allowed to name, as after all, girls did not matter. He gave them less-than-orthodox names: Grace and Hope. The two girls were raised as girls, of course, but Dorenna did his best to keep them healthy and happy. He hoped with all of his heart that none of his children were born in the wrong body like he had been.
Within weeks of giving birth to the twins, Raibenos had begun a cruel "joke." He allowed his best friend, Gasther, to "enjoy" his wife as well. 11 months after the twins were born, Dorenna gave birth to Gasther's son. After a vicious year of scorn, as it was clear that Gasther's son, Gerathen was clearly his and not Raibenos', as Gasther was very dark skinned, while Raibenos very light, Dorenna was sent away from the Hold without his children.
Dorenna was free at last.
A survivor by nature, Dorenna began his official life as Doren the Holdless young man. Unfortunately, he had no Craft, having been constantly giving birth since he was 12. At 16, he was often shunned from the Holds he passed by, especially considering his clear gender problem. He learned how to hunt on his own, steal when he needed to, and how to kiss up to girls and make them believe he was a boy, a scamp for food at Gathers. Unfortunately, life was not always good. At 17, he once again found himself beneath a brutish man who had discovered his secret. The drunken Smith impregnated Doren once again, and this time considerably worse for wear than ever before with more than just bruises, but also broken bones, Doren needed a Healer.
For 9 long months, Doren wasted away in the Healer Hall, dreaming of his childhood and how he hated it so. He was a man, and yet repeatedly he was raped in a place that should not exist on his body. Breasts that he should not have were swollen with milk, and his belly was round with a baby he should not be carrying. With the help of a MindHealer, however, Doren was able to work through his problems to create a firmer disguise.
After giving birth to his daughter Nier, Doren's name became Arendon, and Nier firmly believes that Arendon is not Mommy, but Daddy. He breastfed Nier for 9 months, still under the care of the Healer Hall. He began to study as a MindHealer. With help in raising the only child he felt he could raise as a healthy child, naming her a rather gender-ambiguous name (Nier, pronounced "neer"), Aren soon quickly began to advance in the Craft of Healing. Aren advanced quickly, his mind eager to learn after 18 turns of suppression. He walked the tables faster than any could have imagined considering his past, attaining Journeyman status by the age of 23, just 7 Turns after he stumbled into the Hall, broken and not yet knowing he was pregnant yet again. He has since gotten his tubes tied, a dangerous procedure that did not go over so well, but it is certain he will never again have children. He has also carefully damaged his own vocal chords so that he sounds more masculine.
Arendon went to the nearest Weyr and took on the "assignment" of standing for wher Clutches, something he did with pretty much no success for 7 turns. He bought a dog not long before he left for the Weyr, a big thing that makes him feel safer, while enjoying the way it looks when he walks the thing about as well. After all, Dusty is big. It was at the beginning of his 8th turn as a Candidate that he Impressed his wher (COLOR) Arendosk. During his Wherlinghood, the young woman who had taken over classes (rathe runwillingly), Italia, found herself pissing Aren off pretty much every day. Having been concerned about Arendosk, she had accused Arendon of having sex as a wherling. He revealed to her in a fit of anger that he is, in fact, by nature's cruel game, physically female. Somehow, through all of this, they have reached a gradual mutual understanding. One that is blossoming into something more each day now that Arendon is out of Wherlinghood.
Aren left his daughter in Healer Hall's care, though he writes to her often. Nier is already 9 turns old and has indicated a desire to enter an Apprenticeship. In fact, the child intends to come to the Weyr and Apprentice underneath her father. Aren knows he's a shabby father and never regretted leaving Nier behind. Now that Nier is older, though, and looking into Apprenticeship, Aren will be able to treat the child as... well, an Apprentice. A favorite Apprentice, but an Apprentice. We'll see how Nier reacts when she gets here, if that's what she chooses.
