Description

A strapping 6’ even. He has dirty blond hair that he has tied in a ponytail. His skin is tanned and wind blown. His green eyes twinkle when he talks. He is clean shaven, but has thought about growing a beard. He wears a worn gentleman’s long vest, a faded gold color under a tattered royal blue captain’s coat with gold and black trim. A battered black tri-corn hat sits atop his head. He wears a wide black leather belt, with a tarnished brass buckle. Faded black knee breeches adorn his legs. Battered and worn thigh high round toe black boots folded down to give the folded over calf-high look grace his feet. A worn baldric crosses his chest, where his Scottish made cutlass rests at ease. He wears a brace of English dueling pistols cross one another on the baldric
