Zheria is looking for some plots, RP, and some roles to be filled. She's the Weyrwoman of High Reaches Weyr, and while she is fierce, intimidating, and Machiavellian in nature, there's more to her than what she shows to the public. She's a clever woman, a passionate woman, but a woman who prefers having complete control. Cross her and she will crush you -- maybe night right away, maybe when you least expect it -- but one day.
Zheria's Profile

Important Players:
Anyone in this group can be created as PCs. All I ask is you PM me before you create the character so we can see if your idea or concept is the right fit.
Trusted Friends No woman is an island, and though Zheria can be aloof and demanding, she has likely made allies, and in turn, some good friends. Ink is one of them, no doubt, but she certainly isn't the only.
Friendship doesn't come easy to Zheria, but for this group, I would prefer actual trust and goodness. Even if they have differing opinions, I would like her to have some good people in her life that she can depend on... and obviously, ones who can call upon her in times of need.

I would prefer at least one of these be a friend she made while Eveleth was a hatchling, so a fellow weyrling she grew up with. Any color or gender would be suitable, since she was likely at her most vulnerable during this time thanks to the wonders of Impression. Those in this group are a rare breed, but trust, loyalty, and support are a must. These can be riders, or weyrfolk. She may could have met them at the Weyr or made some sort of bond down in Nabol, either in the mines as a child, or in the brothels.
Trusted Spy & Assassination Ring
Zheria is a woman who likes to know what's going on in the world. She knows how to make friends and influence people, just as she knows how to cut her enemies throats in the dead of night. Granted, she does well to ensure that nobody knows this.
She has allies over Pern because, quite frankly, she's not going to take any chances. Now that she has the power, she's going to use it. Over the Turns, she has charmed some in high places, as well as those that lurk in the underbellies of society. While she is always waiting, and prepared, for some snitch or tunnelsnake to turn on her,she does have a few within her Weyr, as well as scattered over Pern, that do have her trust.
Please note, applying for these roles that they should NOT turn on her or betray her. If any betrayal is bound to happen we will let you know. Please don't sign up for this role if your character is going to be anything less than loyal and devoted. While I understand things can change in RP, please don't have them start doubting the cause, or decide the Weyr isn't doing enough, or whatever. If we want to implement those plots,, we'll let you know.
These individuals can be riders in the Weyr, unaffiliated sorts, non-riders, minor holders, pirates, drug dealers, etc. They may have a "front" of some job, but their task is to essentially get Zheria information on what's going on in the world, periodically go investigate certain areas of Pern, be some sort of plant somewhere (here's looking at you, Nabol), and take out threats as needed.
She doesn't much care what they do in their spare time so long as they're loyal, and she can call upon them in a moments notice. They may or may not know of the others existence, and chances are she's seduced them in some fashion (real or simply pretending to go through the act) since it's one of the safer ways to exchange information, and for them to be seen with her without raising suspicion.
Zheria goes through bedmates like crazy, and is rarely discerning about rank or title, so no one would be surprised at all. Male or female is just fine. I wold expect them to be a little older, since it has taken some time for them to get into this circle.
Some of these can be spymasters, as well as up-and-coming sorts. They just have to be loyal and trust goes both ways. Period. No shaking on this point.

Ferrymen
This group of individuals is also on Zheria's trusted list, so good job. These are all dragonriders of High Reaches Weyr. Ultimately, she needs Searchriders and Watchdragons who can be assigned to Nabol Hold and both report back what's going on with Lord Gansley and his people, as well as help "Search" those that they can and bring them back to High Reaches. These Searches can be legitimate, or fake, depending on the needs.
Unfortunately, they can't just constantly sweep through and pick up everyone. While Search is a Weyr's right, Gansley is not a stupid fool, nor are his people. He does have his own riders and thugs and assassins and spies, and if he starts noticing that families start disappearing, or his mines start running short on help and labor, and the same people keep showing up and whisking his riders away, you can bet your bippy Bad Things Would Happen.
Conditions would likely start deteriorating on his own people and a Council would likely be called and people would pay. Gansley can be a generous man, but he is cruel, and there are rules on Pern about Weyr rights versus the Holds. Don't wrong him.
((OOCly: While I understand it sounds like the Weyrs should just say eff that and crush the place, please remember that in the books there are very particular rules about Holder Rights and Weyr Rights. Even when Lord Fax was taking over Holds, Benden didn't stop him -- they only killed him because he got into a dual with one and lost. Gansley is not that stupid. Furthermore, it is firmly ingrained in Pern society that Holders are left alone to do what they will with their people and land -- and riders are meant to let them be. This became especially true after riders got integrated into their own mundane lifestyles -- they were no longer the heroes of Pern. So please, ensure these riders understand the reality . . . and it's not just Zheria being fickle or idle about High Reaches power. Gansley has nooses around the necks of many people on Pern; nooses his family and lineage put in place long before he came into power, and nooses that have tightened with time.
He's one of our big villains; and while we may be rid of him someday, at the moment, now is not the time. x3 All will be revealed in due time.))

Entourage, Lovers, & Bodyguards, oh my!
This is sort of a miscellaneous category. Zheria is often known to enjoy having a little court of favored riders and weyrfolk at any given time. She likes to have multiple men and women on her arm, and other adoring fans. She uses men and women for their bodies, or their charm, and doesn't necessarily make bedding her difficult.... so long as she thinks you can handle her.
Some of her entourage may be (very very very secret) trusted bodyguards. She knows some in her Weyr do not care for her, and she knows Gansley knows she wants him dead. Some of her entourage might simply be adoring and loyal fans; others still might be lovers, long-term or short; favored allies, friends... Heck, one, or two of them, may even be actual lovers WHO KNOWS. The Weyr and the world has certainly lost count. Zheria does love her people. Literally.
Just let me know if you want them to be one of her INSANELY TRUSTED bodyguards. And no, you can't put a plant in her bed to kill her. If we want to go that route we'll let you guys know. For now, only loyal fans and trusted secret others on her arm, thanks!
While she obviously tends toward bronze and brown riders....she has also been seen with blue and green riders, as well as non-weyr folk, holders, etc.

The Heart Wants What it Wants Anyone want to worm your way, not just into Zheria's bed, but into her heart? She does have one... we think. I don't know if she's ever been in love before -- trust love -- though she's certain been secretly fond of some within her Weyr. Obviously, there are risks becoming the Weyrwoman's favored partner -- and it's possible she would keep this quiet, secret, and away from prying eyes.
This could be a rider or non-rider. This could be someone who fits one of her trusted roles above, or some illicit affair with an unknown. This should be some sort of badass woman, and would develop through RP. You could offer a man, but... that would likely take a lot more work and development. She tends to trust women more.
I know Fable is interested in seeing if Ink and her hit it off, but until their RP goes that way, or until someone's wormed their way in, she's open to entertaining other offers, too.
She isn't exactly shy about dragging others to bed, after all. Thus far, no one has yet managed to worm their way in.
