Barnabas Vine
Nicknames:
Chief, Buddy, Navigator
Age:
23
Role:
Waterbird Navigator
Appearance:
Barnabas is quite the handsome man, with neatly kept brown hair and green eyes that look like emeralds. Barnabas is known to like to be very extravagant, always wearing large cloaks and showy weapons. He is pretty tall, standing at about 6' and has a very lanky build. He's not very muscular, as you can tell by his baggy sleeves on his shirts. With pierced ears and his capes, he looks somewhat like a Pirate, but he is much to respectable to become one. He has quite tan skin due to being outside often. He has quite a fashion sense also, and is also the Waterbird's tailor, but his directional sense is much stronger.
Personality:
Barnabas is so charming you can't help but wonder if he is just a fake. He has many manners and is always polite, unless he has a reason to hate your guts. An outspoken man, he'd rather stay quiet until asked to speak. He is great at plotting, but will never do his own dirty work, for he is quite too respectable for this. Barnabas is a narcissist, for he believes he is better than everyone else, especially low down pirates. Besides this, Barnabas can easily persuade you over to his side without needing reason. He is a smooth talker and can make you believe anything. He can be kind and caring when he deems you are deserving of his precious time.

History:
Barnabas was born in a small European village. His father was the mayor, but was hanged for an embezzlement scheme when Barnabas was three. Barnabas grew up a rich and spoiled boy, nannies always taking care of him. His mother was sickly ever since she had been a child and was bedridden after giving birth to her second son, Barnabas's younger brother who came along after his father was killed. His nannies always cared for his younger brother more, and Barnabas was left to defend for himself. Wanting attention, he claimed the habit of being over extravagant.
When Barnabas was sixteen, and he had moved out of the house by this time, his mother finally passed away, making him the heir in the Vine family and he got most of their fortune. Barnabas quickly abandoned his younger brother, taking all of their fortune for himself. Barnabas' brother took to stealing and was hanged, just like his father. Barnabas felt no guilt. Barnabas quickly became a fisherman, and once got lost at sea on accident with two other fishermen, but was the one who navigated their way back. Barnabas was soon regarded as one of the best navigators in the village and was a shoo-in for getting the job as the navigator on the Waterbird. He is now engaged to a woman back at the village, but this doesn't stop him from being his charming self to other women.
