Description
Perfectly preened, whether it's artfully ruffled or slicked into style, R'co's ashy blonde hair is kept in a neat crop that, at its longest, just brushes his often-stubbled jaw. It falls often in the way of his big, light blue eyes, having to be tucked behind his ear. The finely-chiselled features of his face leave him looking slightly angular, though the formerly refined slope of his narrow nose has been marred by a small bump that pays tribute to a break or two in the past. Other imperfections are a thin scar on his temple, running from his hairline towards his cheek, while a second marks his chin. The plump curve of his lips, so often found pouted, is coloured a rosebud pink, the perfect complement to his sunkissed, naturally pale complexion; the tan he sports makes the freckles on his cheeks stand out a little more. In terms of his figure, R'co is slender, willowy, standing a very leggy 5'7. He may be a delicate slip of a man by appearances, but his fine-honed limbs and dainty mannerisms are deceptive of the musculature they truly home, cultured by his craft and the rigours of being a rider.
Dressed for being off-duty, R'co wears a clean-cut outfit that was clearly tailored specifically for him, as it fits perfectly. Over his lightweight white shirt he wears a loose waistcoat, the dark grey fabric embroidered around the lower edges with various shades of purple in whirling, abstract patterns. He wears figure-hugging riding leathers of a practical shade of black, with knee-length lace-up boots. R'co wears a woven bracelet around his wrist.

History
The Early Years
Once upon a time, Rocco was born to a High Reaches greenrider, Arocca, and a man who she's never cared to put a name to. He grew up in the lower caverns as many weyrbrats do, under the supervision of the nannies; it was all rather uneventful. Rocco spent a decent amount of time with his bluerider grandmother, Ocara, who had taken up her old beautician's craft following an injury that grounded her Trusyth. From her, he learnt practical basics such as hairdressing and barbering, but his interest fell, in particular, in the ways that she mixed herbs and other natural ingredients to create skin-soothing ointments, creams and so on. This interest led him to become a student in the Healer Craft (funded by a combination of marks from his grandmother, and, over the turns, those he was able to make for himself), where he specialised in herbalism and therapeutic massage.
Impression
Despite having grown up in a Weyr, it wasn't until he was 19 that Rocco was Searched, while scouting for ingredients in Ista. He'd got seven solid turns of Healer work behind him by that point and was keen to try something new - the fact that he was involved with a long-term relationship with greenrider played a big part in him accepting the offer to Stand. It turned out that he made the right choice, as brown Deveriteauxth stumbled up to him and claimed R'co for his own.
Given the interval, he focused his efforts post-weyrling graduation on his craft, supplementing his wing duties with extra work on the side. His relationship was starting to suffer as a result of not only his divided attentions, but of a change in desires; R'co wanted a family, which his boyfriend clearly couldn't give him - and he was inflexible in 'outsourcing' the matter. Having a lucrative business provided just enough distraction from those sorts of thoughts, as R'co was busy developing, making and selling his lotions, potions and massage services to the list of Pern-wide clients he'd managed to establish over the turns.
The End and the Beginning
It was shortly after his 25th turnday (late in month 10, turn 30) that things came to a head. A huge fight had his weyrmate moving out, just as news of the leadership troubles at High Reaches began to filter through to Ista Weyr. While he had never been the most ambitious of individuals, R'co couldn't help but be enticed by the prospects that his home Weyr could offer him; Deveriteauxth was a big enough brown to be a contender and had proved himself capable of catching a gold twice in his six turns - what would stop him from catching Iesaryth, or Hraedhyth? Wouldn't R'co, a Weyr native, be a better choice than either Taikrin or H'kon? And wouldn't it be nice to be away from Ista, where his ex-weyrmate was flaunting his new squeeze everywhere he looked?
Plans were set in motion for him to return home properly, for the first time in 12 turns, since he'd gone off to study at the Healer Hall. With the mobility of his business to his advantage, R'co packed up and left Ista behind, returning to High Reaches.
