A P P E A R A N C E || Julian is not a small man. He is muscular and large, partially from genetics and partially from his time training in the military before he defected. He has a rather seafaring windswept look, is rather unkempt and wild looking. He keeps his beard groomed, and sometimes wears his long hair back on a particularly windy day. His clothes are a mix of old military and new seafaring clothes, he has gloves that protect his hands against the blasts of the ship's guns and cannons. His signature look consists of a loose white shirt, unbuttoned at the top, a leather vest, brown pants, a belt carrying any tinkering supplies he needs, small ammo, a flask and gloves, and he wears sealskin boots.

-- three to four character strengths:
ā³ shooting | the man can shoot any long ranged weapon that you give him, and boy is he scary when he focuses.
ā³ strength & speed | because of his years training with the military, Julian is extremely strong, it is his greatest asset in a fight. He is also fast because of the time he has spent in dangerous and fast-paced situations, especially on navy ships, still his strength comes as more use to him.
ā³ confidence | Julian is certainly confident, in his looks, in his strength, and in many other aspects of his personality. But this confidence does not make him come across as standoffish or cold, instead his bright personality and confidence give him real leadership qualities, and he is always willing to take charge and make others feel welcome in his atmosphere.
ā³ cleverness & quick thinking | he is an intelligent man, which comes from many years of practice and learning, but more than just his intelligence in a book-sense, Julian is capable and is at his best when ideas are needed on the fly. He easily can survive on his own and help others because he always has one idea or another.
W E A K N E S S E S ||
-- three or four character weaknesses:
ā³ ruthlessness | when Julian fights, he can become to ruthless, mostly due to his no bullshit training. Jules has no patience fro the enemy, and it is never a good idea to cross him in the heat of battle. Following his directions is the best bet.
ā³ planning | Julian is a time and place thinker, he doesn't spend much time planning anything unless he absolutely is ordered too. In general, he does his best thinking on the spot, which can be good in times of peril, but less so on extended missions.
ā³ unforgiving | he can hold a grudge for as long as he feels necessary, which can be an extremely long time, especially if he or his "family" members were wronged. This unforgiving nature can lead to conflict or misunderstanding, but he sticks to his grudges.
ā³ quietness | boy does he love to be loud and laughing, please don't send him places where stealth is a necessity.
ENFJ, The Advocate. Julian is as a pirate should be. His loud and happy nature allow for others around him to always feel at ease, and he has a way with taking new crew members or young people under his wing and showing them around, teaching them new things in the process. This makes him a well-trusted individual, and his heart is in most everything he does. He is optimistic, but not to a fault, and takes into consideration the realism of a situation. Julian is NOT a planner, by any means. He can't even plan what he'll have for dinner that night. Instead, Jules is a brilliant on-his-feet thinker, and is capable of pulling scenarios seemingly out of nowhere in the heat of the moment.
His kindness and quick thinking also makes Julian the perfect Master Gunner because his leadership qualities are visible to everyone, especially in battle. Julian has a way of leading others that is confident yet humble, and he knows the strengths and weaknesses of most people on his team, especially if they get to know him. He listens well to others, when he wants to that is, and is a relatively good judge of character. Julian's discipline comes from his days in the military. He checks all his weapons the same way every day, and makes sure that his shipmates, especially his underlings, do the same. He is tidy and orderly, which is surprising for such a seemingly physically unkempt man, but in reality his grooming and organizing habits all have a purpose. Order and organized chaos make his life just a little easier, and still different enough from his past to make him feel comfortable in himself.
Julian is also one to always fight for the underdog and fr justice. He has seen wrongdoings that he knows he could have prevented, and makes it his mission to help those who he can, because he understands the difference that can make in a person's life.
Julian was returned to his father, who had no time to care for the boy and, in want of money to spend, the man sold his son off to a mercenary group and has not contacted Julian since. So, at the age of five, Julian became a soldier. His life was converted from summer days and peach trees to training grounds and exhaustion. When he was young, the mercenaries used him to trick enemies and sneak into tight spaces, all the while training him with all kinds of different weapons and fighting styles. He became miserable, spending cold nights sleeping in the dirt, running for miles at dawn, and spending the days training and fighting to become a killer on the battlefield at so young an age. His superiors liked him, he was a tough kid, but that did not mean that they let him off easily, and whenever mischief happened, Julian was sure to pay for it. He learned early on that following orders was the best way to keep from going hungry or getting beaten.
This life was not easy, and at first Jules was miserable, but as he grew older, he learned that this as what he was good at, and found that if he could stay optimistic, this life wasn't quite as terrible as it once had been. By the time he was fifteen, Julian was a seasoned child soldier, sometimes beating his superiors when it came to shooting matches or spars. He grew big and tough, and despite his smiles, Julian could be ruthless when his anger was channeled in the right way. His superiors noticed this, and learned how to channel him, he was their most obedient soldier. All was as well as it could be living in camps and fighting when hired, and Julian learned his place and was comfortable in it, until his superiors needed a new small soldier because Julian grew to big for small jobs (he suspected that his father may not have been his actual father because of his build). The mercenaries bought a young boy while passing through a village, and Julian saw that they treated him the same as they had treated a young Julian. The poor boy was run ragged and beaten when he cried, and Julian knew, rather suddenly, that this entire operation was wrong. He was sixteen, and he took the boy under his wing for two years, protecting him and treating him with the only kindness that the boy new. The life Julian had grown comfortable in was no longer a rosy reality, and instead was filled with terror and blood. Nearly two years later, in the middle of a battle, the two boys, one a former and the other a current child soldier, escaped on a ship and traveled across the sea.
They were found hiding in the barrels of the boat, an eighteen year old Julian and eight year old kid, and the crew decided to use them instead of throw them overboard. And so Julian's seafaring days began, the boy, Armand, stayed in port, working at a bakery while Julian traversed the open waters, feeling freedom that he never had before. When he heard of the treasure, it was after a night of drinking in a bar, and he decided he would go after it to buy children out of their lives as soldiers and into freedom. Armand died two months ago, of cholera, and Julian wears a black band around his arm in mourning, but he promised the boy that he would save other children like him, and that is what he plans to do. The evening after Armand's death, Julian noticed a ship docked at the harbor, and advertisements in search of a Master Gunner...which he most certainly is.
