There's a line. Its coming near me.

a character in “Guile Island: Pirates and Mermaids”, as played by eternalmoon

Description

Name: Borok Forsythe

Aliases / Nick-Names: Borok (Captain can call him Bor or Rok, either if he's being arragant or pigish, or Rok when he's being an idiot.)

Species: Pirate

Age:39

Height:6"3, tall, towers over you.

Eyes:Surprisingly (for him) large. A nice rich earth green; nurturing, open and shiney, which gives any new recruits, and sometimes shipmates who have been there a while, the impression he'll act as a mentor or father figure, someone to show them the ropes. They are deeply mistaken. Around his eyes, are the first signs of wrinkles, the impact of the dangers and hardship one must not just face but live as a pirate.

Facial hair: Rough, long stubble, too short to be a beard. Adds to his gruff, tough look. It blends in with his sideburns, and covers the whole lower section of his face, under his nose.

Damage: His hardenednd tanned a skin, from so many years at sea, looks weathered but still strong. He has a scar from the edge of his left eye in a smooth line to the top of his ear. This is the only scar he has which has not come from his pirate days. He's got many short scraps and longer more defined faded cuts on his arms and legs. One noticable one is dominant against his skin, drawing attention if it is insight. The Captain, his best friend, gave it to him many years ago, so he will always have a reminder of something.

Appearance: Borok is big. Very big. And its pure muscle. Do not mistake this as all brawn and no brain. He's scurried up the ropes of ships, been flaied about in strong winds and tides, fought countless decent and not-so-decent men. The outcome, is him looking like some huge warrior. He wears no top but a black waistcoat, the lace that ties up the entire front being left undone, too much sweat clings to clothes, and when you work as hard as Borok, you sweat. He has a black belt from which hang his weapons, and plain black bottoms, that are tucked into heavy leather boots, reaching to just below his knees. When cold weather calls for a coat, he has a long white coat with black lining which swishes about his ankles, silver buckles spread evenly apart go up the coat, so he is able to do it up, should he wish to. His hair is fairly long and shaggy, the colour of mud. It reaches to just below his shoulders and he often ties his wavy locks back loosly, to keep it out of his way. He might have been handsome once, but that was before the sea and sky shaped him into the pirate he is today.

Personality

Borok is the kind of pirate you do not want to mess with. He's all for bloodshed, looting, stealing, whatever. But, on his Captain's ship? Fairness is an essance. Pull your weight or you'll get clobbered. Nobody should have to be told when to do their jobs, what their share of maintaing a pirate ship should eantil. Unfortunately for them, they don't always listen. If anyone dares speak ill of Captain or other respectable members of the crew, you'll be danglign by your foot over the side of the ship quick as a click, with the only thing standing between life, you and death, is Borok's strong grip and steel mind. Borok is loyal to those who have earned it. He will help his own in battle, if need be, and so perhaps the idea of mentor wasn't entirely misjudged by youngesters after all. He has a calm attitude, disproving of something by simply giving a looked, a sligt raised eyebrow, or narrowing of eyes. However, when he snaps, all hell is let loose Reason is dismissed, and he rushes into action, needing to do something, without thinking it through. He feels sorry for tpeople, in a passive and almost patronising way, as if he is distancing himself from other's emotions, rather than actually being sympethetic.

Equipment

Weapons: A large sword that few can pick up and fewer who can weild it, due to its heavy weight. The blade maybe stained with blood and rust, but the edge is still deadly sharp, and thats good enough for Borok. If it isn't in his hand, its tied to his belt, just like the pistol he carries. He also has daggers hidden in each of his boots, silver. Taken after a raid on a royal ship, carrying gifts to some roayl bloods ater some arrangement. His fists are also trained to hurt, kill and murder. And his sheer size helps indimate the enemy, or knock them flat when he crashes into them.

History

Borok began life as a wealthy boy, born into a noble family of aristocracy. He was big and clumsy, and others teased him, rendering him useless and incapable. At the age of twelve he was seen staring at a beautiful girl. so, when her betrothed caught him staring at what was his, he and some friends tied Borok to a chair. Not exactly hard. He took his fine sword, only useful for display, and sliced right near his eye. Borok was warned if he was ever seen staring at another promised girl, his eye would be pulled out.
He realised how the other children were right, how useless anc clumsy and helpless he was when his father only sighed when seeing his son with blood pouring from his face, before continuing to study the maps. Borok knew he had never fitted in. This was the first time he never wanted to. So, he done the only thing he knew how to do. Removed himself from the situation. Running away had been the highlight of his youth, he had nothing at home, no inheritence, no childhood sweetheart nor a promise of a career.

When Borok first joined the world of outlaws and criminals, climbing onto that godforsaken ship, het met a young shipmate, a few years older than he. HE must have seen something in the boy,, because he showed him the ropes, taught him fighting, strategy, everything. And Borok's stayed with him, all these years. Captain, he now calls his old friend. Being so pathetic in his childhood has taught Borok many thigns. He knows the limit of people's capaablity, and what will happen when you push them too far or not at all. yes he runs a tight ship and is a hard-ass. But he knows, thats how the kids won't break. If he could survive back then, a waste of space he was, so can anyone and everyone else.

So begins...
