Name: Jameson "Jamie" Sersea Gender: Male Age: 25 Species: Hare Occupation: Lieutenant in the Long Patrol
Physical Appearance:
Jamie is often told he strongly favors his father, and regularly told that this is a good thing. He seemed to completely skip any awkward phase of life; cute child, charming and attractive youth, and now a handsome young officer in the Long Patroller. With mostly grey fur, it lightens to white in the middle of his neck and down his chest and front of his torso. He maintains an athletic physique on a tall frame.
At most times during the day, Jamie can be seen in his typical Long Patrol uniform, a snug-fitted leafy green tunic with dark brown breeches. He will obviously dress down in his (quite limited) free time, or when appropriate, and then just usually consists of looser-fitting, light-colored tunics.
Possessions:
Mostly just his saber, which he acquired from his late father. When out and about he may also carry a couple hidden daggers.
Personality:
Jamie has spent the last year or two combating a reputation from character flaws in his youth. It was difficult, between getting special treatment from his family in the Long Patrol and admiring attention from his peers, for Jamie to not end up with something of an inflated ego. He grew up believing he deserved the best of everything, because that's generally what he got. As he got older, many of his peers were either attracted to or jealous of him, and he liked it that way.
These days, Jamie has mostly left that behind for a patient and earnest nature. Now a lieutenant in the Long Patrol, and with every indication his quick succession through the ranks will continue, real responsibilities matured the young officer. Not only finding a need to change with the burden of leadership, Jamie also felt the need to be a good role model for his baby sister as she grew and started to naturally look up to him.
There are still a few hold-overs from his youth, particularly his sociability and flirtatiousness. He gets along well with just about everyone, and is rarely seen alone. Rather cavalier with flirting and relationships when he was younger, this is something he's been more serious with reigning in. His many casual affairs are probably what he's still best known for, though it's been some time since he's been involved in any type of relationship. Jamie desires a real relationship and a family, so he's taken a few steps back from romance to repair his reputation.
Jamie's friendliness, patience and almost obsessive need to help others makes the young lieutenant an excellent trainer. What little free time Jamie is given, he often sacrifices to voluntarily training other Long Patrollers and young cadets. He has a tendency to stretch his time and energy thin, but he will forever be working to find ways to fit every single creature that needs him - trainee, family, friend - into his busy life.
Strengths:
-Sword-fighting: Jamie is extremely skilled in close-range combat, and he has few equals in sword-fighting. When in uniform, he's rarely seen without his weapon of specialty, his inherited saber.
-Stamina: Jamie does not tire quickly or easily. He can train for hours, all day, and still have energy to spare at night. While not a fast runner by any stretch, he can keep up a pace for quite some time during work-outs.
-Charisma: He has the type of magnetic personality and confidence in leadership that makes others listen to and follow him. Jamie seems to come by this naturally rather than trained, coming from a long line of successful and high-ranking Long Patrol officers.
Weaknesses:
-Not strategic minded: Though Jamie has spent a lifetime learning to be successful in the Long Patrol, his military skills have always been more on the physical side. While he has the charisma to encourage his soldiers to do most anything, he probably won't be the one making the plans. He relies heavily on his fellow (smarter) officers to be the strategists.
-Long-range fighting - Jamie is still a better archer than the average civilian, but as far as Long Patrollers go, his strength does not lay in long-range battle. He can get by when necessary, but even cadets with a certain aptitude can outshoot the well-trained lieutenant.
History:
Jameson Sersea was born as a bit of a... surprise to a young, unmarried couple of Long Patrol hares. While perhaps not the most ideal situation, Dahlia and Everett both had supportive and involved families, and Jamie was born into a lot of love. However, while Jamie was still an infant and his mother was still on temporary leave from the military, his father was suddenly killed while out on patrol. Although the family was fittingly devastated, all the grandparents stepped up and helped raise the infant Jamie.
Dahlia gave up on her career in the Long Patrol and fell back on another love of hers: music. Jamie spent much of his childhood in the mountain's music classroom as his mother took on the role of the primary musical instructor in the mountain. While Jamie's mother did her best to instill a similar love of music in her son, his paternal grandfather started grooming Jamie to be a Long Patroller from a young age. The early defense and combat lessons made Dahlia anxious and fearful, but she ultimately understood that Jamie couldn't be held back from something that was so strong in his blood on both sides of his family.
Through his grandfather, Jamie met and started training with one of the more talented swordfighters of the Long Patrol, Jack Farrian. Eventually Jack and Dahlia became close and were married when Jamie was ten years old. Having Jack as a stepfather felt like a completely natural transition in Jamie's life and he and Jack have always had a good relationship. When Jamie was fifteen, his sister Keely was born. Around this time, Jamie was involved in officer education rather than cadet training with his peers, and did everything he could to split his time between his career-grooming and his baby sister.
Jamie continued a high level of training in the Long Patrol through his teens and became an officer before he was twenty. With Salamandastron and the surrounding Mossflower area having experienced some years of comparable peace, Jamie has had a fairly quiet - though successful - career. He has continued to use this time to train and improve and has been quickly advancing in the Long Patrol.
Relationships:
Mother - Dahlia Farrian Father - Everett Sersea (deceased) Stepfather - Jack Farrian Half-sister - Keely Farrian
