instigating jerk of a rigger

0 · 153 views · located in Drakoon

a character in “To Sail The Seven Seas”, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Basic Information
Image
Name: Gilliana "Gilly" Farweather
Age: 17 (though she tells everyone she's 23- she hates that she's young!)
Sex: Female
On-Ship Job: Rigger
Appearance:
Gilly certainly has an androgynous appearance, with an abnormally skinny, plankish body and a choppy boy cut. It doesn't help that she is abnormally tall (5'11" and 125lbs), emphasizing her very willowy-esque qualities and making her proportions seem more spider-like than human. She has knobby knees, and lanky limbs, all too awkward appearing to sit comfortably in any suitor's stomach. She wears loose fitting, thin cotton materials that allow her freedom of movement (it's entirely necessary when you're swinging around the rigs every day of your life), usually in deep, rich colors such as indigo and maroon. Gilly's hair is feathery and uncombed, though usually not greasy because she does take time to wash up. While her hair is bleached from the sun, her skin stays its standard pink color, seemingly forever sun burnt. It's easy to say Gilly's best/most feminine trait are her eyes, two shimmering, stormy grey orbs rimmed with thick black eyelashes. There's not much effort that goes into Gilly's look, as she doesn't have interest in impressing anyone. She's one of those neutral kind of people, neither beautiful nor ugly, simply different. She's lacks confidence in her appearance, but it's masked by her overwhelming arrogance.


Personality

Personality:
Gilly, quite frankly, is a handful. She's obnoxious at best, a witch at worst. Where she lacks in common sense, she make up for in gusto, enthusiasm, and aggression. She does everything with 120% dedication, being a being of extremities, whether she truly believes it will work out in the end or not; Consequences are one of the things that don't come up often in her mind. Gilly is a girl of ambition, and it's all too common of her to take a bite bigger than she can chew. She constantly instigates fights with people of all sizes, ages, and skill levels and is uncannily rude to strangers. She has no sense of right and wrong, and will openly commit sins and crimes without a single ounce of guilt. She steals, yells, fights, and drinks without hesitation. She considerably sadistic and is great at making others laugh at someone else's expense, truly reveling in attention.

Despite all of Gilly's unflattering traits, she wears off on people. After a while, people find that it takes more effort to hate Gilly than it does to love her- or laugh at her. To an outsider, it might seem like she despises everyone she comes in contact with, but this isn't true. All it takes for Gilly to like you is a little bit of spunk and some interesting characteristics. Should you present a challenge, you're a friend indeed. She is bad at showing affection, but it is typically known that if Gilly seems to target you with her harmless pranks and mocking with no real intention to cause pain, she's fond of you. It's true that she goes out of her way to bug the people she likes best. Gilly adores fruits, heights, thrills, competition, winning, and commotion. If one was to pinpoint an animal to all that is Gilly, she'd most likely be a monkey, what with her borderline scary toothy smiles, exhausting antics, and knack for swinging around the ship like an acrobat on steroids. She's very, very weak, having no muscle mass at all (not that it stops her from trying to fight any and everyone), but is incredibly agile and flexible.

All of this being said, she is just a young girl. While she positively refuses to cry over silly things like flesh wounds and starvation, whenever someone dies, she's the first to weep and if a situation came up where she had an opportunity to give up her life to save someone she cared for, she would in a heartbeat. If you are ever to point out these pure traits of hers, she'd probably punch you and tell you to quit being such a pansy, as she is eternally modest when it comes to having innocent traits. She likes to make herself seem invincible and uncaring, so she boasts like mad over silly topics, but likes to hide away little minor aspects, like having a heart. Gilly puts on a front that she's fearless and tough, but she's truly riddled with a good number of phobias and insecurities, ranging from her self-consciousness in her alien body to the fact that it kind of bothers her that she's god awful at making friends.

Virtues: ambitious, funny, energetic, tough, loyal, modest, fast,
Vices: instigative, exhausting, aggressive, rude, loud, sinful

Skills: She is decent with a pistol, but more skilled with a blade. She is great with the rigs and is very speedy, sometimes seeming more like an animal than a human. She's good at following orders, though her planning skills are rather terrible. Should you ever need someone to do your trivial dirty work for you, she's the go-to girl.

Secrets: Gilly can't swim, and is godly terrified of thunder storms. It's pretty ironic considering she's a pirate. In such situations, her front goes down and she is exposed as being a fragile little one. Another unknown trait of Gilly's is that she was a nobleman's least liked, shameful daughter.

Equipment: An inefficient, antiqued pistol and a short scimitar.


Past

Reason for Leaving: Break free from the rules and regulations set on her by her town and disapproving father, and to get away from the place her mother died at.

History:
Gilly was the youngest daughter of her father's 7 children. She'd always been the "bad seed", causing ruckus in town, having scandalous relations with boys, getting tied up in crime (petty theft, trespassing, things of the such). She was outcasted with the other children her age, but instead of cowering to the bullying, she fought back. Some would say this just made things worse. These feelings of isolation lead to the internal trauma that still haunts her today. ' I am abnormal. I am not good enough. No body likes me. Why should I like them? There's no one to trust. ' It was manageable when her mother was around, as the woman was renowned for her gentle touch able to soothe the wildest of beats. She kept Gilly, for the most part, in line. However, when she became ill, it all went down hill. Without the guiding hand of her mother, she went off the wall and, suddenly, a newly found love for aggression came up. She started getting into brawls with the other kids. It kept up until her mother died. At that point, Gilly saw no reason to stay and so she left, taking refuge on a pirate ship at age 10. She was only lucky the captain was a kind one, or she might have been killed. Instead, she was taught all a pirate needs to know and accepted onto the ship as, at first, a disciple, and then later, an equal.

But, alas, all things must come to an end. Her old ship was raided and taken over by an new captain, many of the men and women who had taken her in and practically fostered her, including the captain, being murdered on the spot. She was lucky enough to have escaped with a few other shipmates via rowboat, and they made their way to Giule. Naturally, she grieved and grieved and grieved, but after a couple months of hiding out in Giule, she is ready to move on. Staying in the same place has driven her crazy ever since she began sailing. This explains why she has agreed to go aboard the The Dragon's Knave and is actually quite excited for departure. If anything, these past months have taught her that the sea is her home and money is her motive.

So begins...
