Physical Abilities

Dexterity: Years of working with glass has given his already unshaky grip even more control. He is not good with minute detail, but his work is always straight and clean.

Camouflage: He is very light on his feet and can move without a sound. He can also disappear into the background and listen in on people talking. It is fairly easy to do since his disfigurement makes him "invisible" to people in general.

Personality

From Agency:

(His) politeness extends to everyone around (him). ... (He'd) rather keep things to (him)self, but if ... asked (he)'ll share. Attention is paid to (his) work, (he is) focused, but (he is) obsessed about something (he does). Passionately hates (his) skill with objects and things. Passionately hates being alone. (Minor) fear of enclosed spaces.

Attitude: J'ed is polite but reserved. He would rather keep his troubles to himself. He throws himself into his work even though he hates what he does. He would rather work with glass than build new homes for others, but there's always a need for his skill.

Hobbies: His glasswork, he makes anything from bowls and cups to windows and lamps. He specializes in a stained glass style, and loves to make scenes, using the medium as part of the piece. So for example he may make an upright lamp where the stand is the base of a tree and the shade is the canopy overhead, with leaves, flowers, fruit, birds, and small animals. His main problem is that he can only use so much detail; minute detail is very difficult for him.

Plans: He hates being alone, so he is always with someone. Nevertheless, he wants to start a family someday with the right woman. He wants kids that he can raise up right, not like he was raised, but with compassion.

History

Jed was a child born out of wedlock. His parents could not marry in time before he was born, but they did marry later. His full name was Jaredai, and he became the middle-born of five children. His two elder siblings were from his father, and two were born after him by both of his parents.

His mother, a Glasscrafter, was physically very abusive. She beat him, aiming for face and hands. She hated how he looked so much like his father and how efeminite he looked. His long fingers were very dextrous and able to work in fine detail, but before she was done with him he had lost that ability.

His father, for all of his hard work, was largely absent from Jed's life. If he could have, he probably would have put an end to the abuse. It is likely that his eventual fostering was done by his father's own hand.

Jed's life with the foster family was nurturing, but not exactly loving. Perhaps that was to be expected caring for someone else's child. He was also the ugliest child they had ever seen, and though they pitied him he was avoided much of the time.

He was Searched as a child and immediately volunteered to go. He was sick of living at the CraftHall, Weyr life couldn't be much worse, right? He was taken to Blackstone where he impressed much, much later at the age of 20. By then he was almost ready to walk the tables through his work with the Weyr's stone crafters. By the time Blackstone sent their riders to Paniya Island on the planet Alskyr, he was an accomplished Journeyman and skilled rider.

Now, Blackstone has sent him off again, this time to a planet called N'tyr Phii. He is to help shape We're Rococo, as the agency is called, and carries with him a map of the mountainous region. He works with miners and other stonecrafters to carefully install the homes into the rock, though without the threat of thread, it is questionable as to whether they need cavelike weyrs.

Though he knew little of what love was, he has secretly searched for it most of his life. He knew it existed, just could not find it in any lasting form. He has had several mates but nothing was permanent. He's looking for a way to change that so he can start a family and raise the kids how he always wanted to be treated.
