Mosiah is roughly in his mid-teens in age, a HealerCraft apprentice at Ista Hold, and has sprouted his first chesthair, something he is very proud of. Alas, that is where he is right now. His history beings at a Weyr in the Northern Continent. This is all Moe will tell anyone. His parentage isn't important for he was raised by the Weyr At Large, your typically termed 'weyrbrat'. He ran with his peers, getting into places he shouldn't, but unlike his fellow brats he never made off like he was innocent of any wrongdoing. He doesn't lie, he just embellishes until it is hard to locate the tiny grain of truth in all the story-telling and wild explanations. This trait seems to have flurished over the turns.
The exact turn isn't important, but at one point he just up and left the Weyr. Nobody would miss him. No real rhyme or reason as to why he left. The day was clear, all of his clothes were washed, there was nothing better to do, so he took off for places never seen. He stuck to moving with the trading caravans. Moe isn't stupid. He knows what Threadfall is all about and won't be left out during it, but he will regall you with the tale of the one time that it did happen that was totally not his fault. Eventually, he made a few marks here and there with the caravan, attributed mostly to the accursed dimples that the older female customers adored so much so they pinched his cheeks. He finally made enough to book passage from Keroon to Ista on a Seacraft ship. He would have liked to get all the way to Southern, except for the fact that he didn't have quite enough to get all the way there --he attributes that to the wily Bitrans onboard.
Anyway, here he is as Ista, markless and holdless, ready to take on the world as he surveys the island... only to have gaggle of apprentice-knotted girls to sully the view. What?! They've got apprentices here! Seeing as the boy had never really had any craft connections, this proved to be an intriguing turn of events. An idea took hold. Harpers? -he can't hold a tune. Weavers? -his fashion sense isn't all that keen. What about... Oh, the gore. Oh, the very idea of... of TRAUMA *shiver*. It wasn't long before he was happily applying and soon was supporting a brand new Healer Apprentice knot.
Mosiah made it about a turn in the Healer Craft when his worst fears came to be. Thesy came a'hunting for infirmary supplies and ended up taking a Mosiah home to High Reaches Weyr with her. Moe didn't want to be searched. He doesn't know why he said yes to Thesy. This has led the boy to the beginnings of insanity, or at least he thinks so. Completly under the belief that he is crazy, he has been seen conversing with sock puppets, talking to himself, laughing hystericly at the oddest moments, and muttering odd comments under his breath that have nothing whatsoever to do with the situation at hand. At an inner look at Moe: he has read the mindhealing lore, recognizes the signs, and has been acting 'crazy' accordingly to explain why he said 'Yes' to candidacy. He isn't nutz, but would like to belive he is. The kid has it for blood and gore. Just the mere mention of 'trauma' sends his shivers of anticipation. He obsesses for exciting emergency cases. One such case happened before him while he was a candidate. Unfortunatly, he fainted dead away. The utter shame lives with him still.
Well, the dragons hatched and Moe was left standing, and feeling awfully funny at not having impressed. With conflicting emotions, he went back to Ista Hold and continues on studying with the craft he knows and loves.
Mosiah has had quite the frightful turn and a half after returning from High Reaches. First off, he made a point of having regular sessions with a mindhealer to figure out just why he said 'Yes' to the searchrider and why he acted so oddly at the Wery. It took him a year, but the boy has finally figured it out. In the midst of that time, our hero was a part of a contingent of healers sent to Ista Weyr in preperation of the coming dragon hatching. It was a traumatic experience that left the boy gaining a rather sullen pallor for all the time he spent in the caverns -too afraid to venture into the bowl should some dragon sniff him out again. Eventually, he worked through this, the dragonets hatched, and he was still alive. After a few months back at the Hall in Ista, the boy was promoted to a Senior Apprentice. And what is better yet, he finally gets a new knot (his old one was a tie-dyed candidate's knot with dribbly purple splotches all over it).
The turns came to pass, and the unbelievable happened again. Just moments after Mosiah was promoted to Journeyman and had drunk himself into oblivion, he was sniffed out again for candidacy at High Reaches Weyr. Naturally, he woke up the next morning with a hang over of unbelievable proportions and bellowing at the top of his lungs over accepting to be searched when drunk. But, this candidacy went far better than the last, and when he walked off the sands without a dragon once more, Moe knew what he wanted in life, and that was to be a healer, sans dragon.
Enjoying High Reaches so much, Mosiah did his best to get posted there, and was awarded with such. It gave him a better chance to get to know his previous candidate-mates ever the more. A turn or two passed in his posting, with its high and low points, but rather average all in all. Moe enjoyed his life in the weyr, and all the sociable opportunities it gave him. He had it all planned out. Enjoy his 'youth' for the next ten turns or so, then maybe settle down for a family of his own. But, like the best layed plans, the healer met the woman of his dreams, and she had always been there right under his nose. Tevya. Lets just say that Moe has found himself changing those plans, and so wrapped up with the bluerider that his is utterly and completely in love with her. Hopefuly it will end happily ever after.
