Ryan Porter

Captain

0 · 178 views · located in futuristic world filled with tiny islands

a character in “Incunabulum”, originally authored by Nujuer, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Name- Ryan Porter

Age- 31



Family- none, mother left when he was little and Father raised him until he was 16.



Talents- Ryan has a knack for taking things apart and rebuilding them only better. He understands mechanics and enjoys them. He also is a true born leader, he makes decisions and isn't afraid to carry them out or tell people what to do. However because of this he is bossy and doesn't like it when things aren't done his way.



Personality- Ryan is easy to get along with, as long as you do what he says. He hates it when people talk back to him and will get very grumpy when they do so. He isn't a very violent person but will fight if the time calls for it. He prefers to talk things out, he has a quick wit and can normally talk his way out of quite few situations. He isn't a lone wolf and often depends on his crew for support as well as companionship. He's a good friend and loyal to his crew and always tries to put the needs of the many over his own.



Looks- Ryan has red long hair that's often pulled back in a black bandana or covered by his hood. He has dark brown eyes and a small knick of a scar just below his left eye. He only has one tattoo on his back, a small tribal swirl on his shoulder. He is a working man so he isn't scrawny, he had strong arms and calloused hands from working the ship as much as he does. He often wears a brown jacket, given to him by his father. its leather and keeps him warm from the cold air while flying.



Position in the war- Ryan doesn't really care who wins or loses, he just wants to be able to fly. He isn't much of a politician and doesn't bother to keep up with current events. He doesn't really understand much of what is happening and likes it that way.

It was the crack of dawn, sunlight made its way slowly through the clouds making them a bright orange. It was a beautiful peaceful morning and nothing seemed out of ordinary. A dirigible floated along peacefully in the morning sky, it was a tattered ship with a giant red balloon with many patches to keep air for coming out. A small black flag flew letting passer by ships know it wasn't a part of the war and wanted nothing to do with it. Red was for Rebels and White was for Shakespeare, most of the time the flags were ignored however, a colour different that the one you flew was an enemy and ready for the taking.

The ship that flew by was called the Vagus, it was well loved by the crew that manned it, especially the Captain. The large man that stood at the helm and steered the ship in the early morning. He was humming to himself as he gave the large wheel a quarter turn to the right. He looked down at a few blinking buttons laid out next to the wheel and pressed one and then went back to staring out of the giant window that let him see the beautiful clouds to the outside. The mans name was Ryan but he preferred Captain Porter. The ship had been his home for a few years now, ever since the Dragon Riders came to his home and tore everything apart, the rebels had come after taking most of the islands supplies and leaving them to rot. It was because of this he had no position in the war, he didn't want to know and didn't care, men were animals no matter what side they were on.



He was humming to himself as he stepped away from the wheel happy with the course he had set it on. He turned, took a few steps and opened the door to the outside and stepped on the deck. The air was cold and brisk and it hit him sending his hood back revealing dark red hair that swayed with the sudden breeze. He took in a breath and smiled, all was well him his world. He took a quick walk about the deck looking at the outside of the ship trying to find damage that might have endured during the night, but saw nothing much to his pleasure.



He walked down to the hull and took a quick inventory, they were running out of food and would need to resupply soon. He made a mental note to ask Ms. Gubbles to make him a list of things to get while they were out. He moved his hands to his pockets and walked towards the cabins, he would wait a few hours before waking everyone up.

Bai Toris



The sun peeked in through the blinds in the young medic's room, shining directly into her eyes until she finally gave up and forced herself out of bed. Normally, Bai Toris would allow herself some time to sleep in every morning since there usually wasn't any use for her in the early morning, but the sun as of lately had been in her face every morning to the point of being unbearable. Muttering under her breath, the petite girl tied her hair up out of her face and meandered to the sink that she used to wash her hands and medical supplies so that she could splash her face in an attempt to wake herself up. Needless to say, despite her efforts, Bai was still tired as well as wet, the cold water seeping into her nightgown unpleasantly.

Quickly stripping to her undergarments, she pulled a white sundress out of a drawer and slid into it. She yawned into her hand and walked over to her bed, sitting down and pulling her boots out from under it and pulling them on. After she had finished tying them, she grabbed the jacket that she had taken from one of the newer crew members, she believed his name was Jeremy, and shrugged into it, trying to remind herself to return it to him eventually.

Before heading out to bother Ms. Gubbles like she did most mornings, Bai made sure to check if everything was in order in her cabin. When it came to work space, she hadn't asked for much when she joined Captain Porter's crew, trying not to impose. She told him that all he needed to provide was one room for her and she'd use it for living space and for working space. He had agreed, and now she had her bed and dresser in one corner and her medical things took up the rest of the room. Two worn down and stained cots sat against the walls of the far side of the room. She had made thick pillows for both of them and she hung a curtain around them for privacy. Against another wall was her sink with a long counter and cabinets over it. Bai had her gloves and medical instruments set on the counter with herbs and medicines that she bought tucked into the cabinets. She always made a point to go into town and get local remedies from the people at every stop, so that she had so many things for treating and curing ailments and injuries that she had to get permission from Ms. Gubbles and Captain Porter to store some of it in the kitchen. A small, barely running refrigerator sat under the counter holding the more perishable ingredients and also some of Bai's snack stores. She had found the fridge in a dump near a port and begged Michael, the ship's mechanic, to fix it for her a long time ago and it still ran with some occasional tune ups. Next to the fridge was a stack of buckets that she used to clean up messes. A wooden desk cluttered with papers and pens and pencils was stuck against the wall next to the door with a chair she had snuck out of the dining room. She used the desk to catalog the people who came in looking for help, what their ailments were, and how she treated them, most of these papers were stuffed in labeled drawers in the desk in an attempt to stay organized. Finally, next to the cots sat a bookshelf stuffed full of books on sicknesses, injuries, and plants, most of which were well worn and scribbled in with Bai's messy handwriting. Overall, her little 'doctors office' had a feeling of somewhat comfortable clutter. It smelled of plants and wood and wasn't very well lit, but that's how the young girl liked it.

She picked up a small sign from her desk and opened her door, stringing it on a rogue nail. "The doctor is out" was all it read, informing potential patients that Bai wasn't in her cabin and to look for her elsewhere. She stuffed a key into the lock on the door and double checked that it was locked, protecting her precious items inside, before stuffing it into her boot and walking aimlessly around the boat, rubbing her eyes irritably every so often. She spotted Jeremy talking to the captain while she was walking towards the kitchen and decided to stop by and see what was up. She came up next to the younger boy and yawned again. "Good morning Captain," Bai said, waving to the older man tiredly. "Good morning newbie," she muttered, jabbing Jeremy in the arm with her elbow, "thank you for lending me your jacket, I'll return it later, but I need it right now." She smiled a bit and hugged herself, allowing the warm fabric to heat her up. "It's very nice, must've been expensive."

As usual, Phoenix was settled comfortably on her most favorite spot, which was of course, right atop the Vagus. On stormy days, tempests would threaten to rocket her off the enormous red balloon, but it was not this day. In fact, the breeze was a pleasant one with the right amount of frost in it - just the way Phoenix liked it. Though she reckoned Ryan would no doubt chastise her if he found her there. "You'll fall and land your ass right smack in the ocean," or "The blimp is already worn enough without you bouncing around on it." And so on and so forth.

Presently, Phoenix had her back against the smooth canvas, her arms behind her head with her eyes closed. One might have actually thought that she was sound asleep, but no, her ears were perfectly alert as always. The early conversations of the crew drifted up, making her wrinkle her nose in slight disapproval. Well, it was about time to join them on the main deck, lest Ryan should come knocking on her living quarters to find the "You see nothing" sign she had jokingly placed on a wall.

Swiftly, she swung herself on the makeshift 'ladder' she had secured for easy access to and fro the main deck and the balloon. It was a mere simple rope in which she slid down, her black gloves protecting her from the frictional burn. Perhaps it might have been deliberate that she chose not to put a proper ladder there instead - it took quite a bit of skill to heft oneself up, and no one wanted to use the rope down with bare hands. The top of the blimp was somewhat her little space of freedom and privacy, but Michael was often up there as well to fix the screw ups in the canvas.

"Yo Ryan," she grinned coyly at the man whilst running a hand through her wind-blown hair. It wasn't as presentable as she would have liked it to be, but she'd get that settled later. Meanwhile, Phoenix was highly aware that addressing him as 'Ryan' bugged him, and that he preferred being called Captain instead. But Phoenix thought of him more as a friend and only used that honorific occasionally, or if she simply felt like it. Of course, needless to say, she knew when respect was due as Ryan was not only her friend, but her superior.

"Morning Jeremy, nice cleaning. The deck looks almost clean enough for consumption, though I reckon Mrs. Gubbles would beg to differ." She winked at the cabin boy and chuckled, before turning her attention to Bai. The girl looked terribly sleepy, what with the continuous yawning and eye rubbing. It was hard to believe that she wasn't sleep-walking instead.

"Did something keep you awake last night? You look terrible." Phoenix studied the girl, frowning.

The all too familiar and steady mechanical sounds were all that accompanied the sleeping Michael. Now while technically he had his own cabin, Michael tended to sleep down in the heart of the ship. It truly was the heart of the ship as well, and Michael's domain. One wall covered in various gauges, lights, switches and valves only labeled in short hand for what each one were, complex to anyone who did not have a clue what they were doing. Opening his eyes slowly the soft glow of un-natural light filled his eyes. Swinging his legs off his make shift bunk, his bare feet landed on the warm metal floor. It was warm because out of the whole ship only one place was warmer, the boiler itself, and this room was very close to the boiler to allow Michael easy access for what ever purpose he saw fit. The bunk itself was Minimalistic, it was a canvas sheet stretched over a frame large enough for one person, bolted to the wall and supported by two chains.

Grabbing his clothes from off a nearby steam pipe (He liked his clothes warm in the morning). he proceed to dress himself in his normal attire, his work trousers, his heavy work boots, his protective shirt and that was it for now. No work would start until after breakfast so he left his hair in a mess as he made his way out of the gauge room, down a small corridor before heading back up to the main ship levels (the level he just came from was all mechanical).

When he came out to the main deck, he blinked as the cold air hit his face waking him up even further. Though he pre-heated clothes would stay warm for a moment or two longer. " Morning Cap'n" he said sounding rather happy for one who just woke up.
Turning his mismatched eyes to everyone else he blinked " Morning all... Have i woken up late?... i did not expect to see everyone around". There was the down side to spending so much time below deck in the ship, he could quite easily lose track of the day, not that it bothered him. The ship ran on its on time frame.

Glancing at the deck he looked up a Jeremy and chuckled " Lad you keep this bloody good work up.... i might have to give you a challenge and see if you can't clean the pipes below deck" Anyone who had ever seen the pipes below deck would know that just the sheer length of the pipe work down there meant you could never get it all clean, let alone the state its actually in.

Ryan looked around at the crew, each and everyone of them said good morning and went about their tasks. The new boy Jeremy was already working away hard at cleaning the ship and he approved. The boy spoke to him and he nodded curtly. Out of habit with his other members he gave his hair a fond scruff.
Pheonix had called him Ryan again and he tried his best to not show he was irked, There was something about the word captain that sounded so much better to him. He moved his hands to his pockets and gave her a bit of a warning glare. He didnt bother picking a fight with her about it as he knew it was a useless endeavour. Ms. Gubbles emerged from the bottom deck as well and he greeted her with a warm smile. "I'm starving." He told her as he walked past the cook giving her a friendly wink. "We having pancakes today? I want pancakes." He knew such a thing was impossible to have on the ship with their current supplies but he wanted to bug her anyways.

Bai laughed as Jeremy explained how he got his jacket in detail and stuffed her hands in it's pockets. "C'mon, Jeremy I asked you if it was expensive, not for your life story!" She snickered, her blue eyes going back and fourth watching him scrub the deck.

"If you don't mind my saying so, you look as though you're not quite awake yet."

Her eyes looked up to him as he began wandering off still cleaning. "I don't know what you mean," she began, yawning into her hand, "I'm as awake as anyone else here." She grinned and placed her hands on her hips, "don't worry about me, newbie, I'll be fine after I get some food in my stomach." She looked down at her shoes, wishing she was back in her bed, despite what she said to Jeremy.
"By the way, I think my cabin's due for a good scrubbing soon." Bai smacked him on the back playfully and winked. She heard boots on the deck and grinned wider, Phoenix was awake! Bai always liked Phoenix, she was always so interesting and strong and pretty.

"Morning, Phoenix!" She called, rubbing her eye with one hand and waving to the fiery haired girl with the other. She watched as she greeted everyone else, then turned to Bai with a frown.

"Did something keep you awake last night? You look terrible."

"Gee thanks." The blond girl muttered, rolling her eyes, "how about a 'good morning, Bai' or a 'how are you, Bai'?" She was still smiling all the same, "I'm fine, don't worry, the sun's just been waking me up prematurely lately, that's all. I might get something to cover my windows at the next stop." Soon after, both Michael and Ms. Gubbles joined the group, both greeting everyone and then going off into other conversations. Bai chose to gravitate over to Maria after she heard the word 'breakfast'.

"Ah! Ms. Gubbles I am so so hungry!" She sang, throwing her arms around the older woman, then let go and followed Ryan towards the kitchen. "By the way Captain, when are we landing next?"

"I'm going to finish this up before coming down for breakfast, would you be so kind as to save some for me miss Gubbles?"

"Nope, I don't think there will be a need for that. Jeremy can have my breakfast - I'm not hungry," Phoenix said, which was in a way quite out of the ordinary. It was a given that Phoenix was a huge-eater and had a large appetite. She only owed it to her high metabolism, else she would have been a hippo by now. And in any case, life in her current circumstances did not allow for much slacking or lazing off. As much as it was generally known that ships flying the same flag would not attack each other, there were always those found to be crossing the boundaries. The term 'Skypirates' was a mere word to label groups of wanderers - but others took on its literal meaning. Well, not that they followed the rules of the skies religiously either...

"And, as to where we shall be landing next, it would most probably be the island Pandros. Right Captain?" she stressed on the word, lips pressed into a smile. "Ever heard of it before?" she asked, the question directed more towards the others. "I went there once actually, but I can't guarantee how much time has changed that place as it has done to many others."

Briskly, she made her way to the helm of the Vagus and proceeded to extract a map from its protective transparent casing. Not much of a point in putting a fragile (and absolutely important) piece of paper to suffer the wrath of the forces of Nature, was it? Needless to say, the map was still exposed to frequent wear and tear, so there was another spare copy tucked away safely in Phoenix's cabin. It would not do to forget that maps were highly valuable essentials as they were hard to recreate and produce, and it so happened that the spare copy was also a stolen one - courtesy of Phoenix.

"I'm no navigator, but based on the fact that we've been flying for ten days since leaving the last island, which is over here," she pointed her finger on a tiny green blotch on the map. "Plus taking into the account of recent stormy weather blowing us off-course," she narrowed her brows in concentration. "Three days of bad weather, I think. So that makes a good twelve hours before the next touch down over here." She traced the finger slightly down towards the left, before tapping on yet another green area. Interestingly, that particular one had a little red dot on it.

"The island Pandros - home to volcanic hills, twisted black trees and perhaps a little forest or two here and there. I think there's a small fishing village as well, but who knows, they all might have been wiped out by obsidian scorpions," she gazed at the crew, waiting patiently for their reactions with a smile twitching at the corner of her lips.

Bai Toris



Bai eagerly stood in anticipation of the breakfast Ms. Gubbles had prepared for the crew. Being tired didn't matter anymore as her eyes glittered excitedly, she hadn't realized how hungry she really was. She half listened to what everyone around her was talking about as she waited and turned to Phoenix when she mentioned where they were landing.

The blond girl crossed her arms across her chest and drummed her fingers against her arms, thinking. "Pandros," she sighed, trying out the name on her tongue, "I don't think I've ever been, but I don't remember half the places I've visited anymore anyway." She said before walking over to a table and sitting down, ready for breakfast, her legs crossed and hands in her lap, a habit she had gotten from her time with her rich parents that she never really grew out of.

Bai noticed that Jon, the ship's blacksmith, had entered earlier, but hadn't really registered his presence until he shouted, "WHO WANTS TO GET A DOG?!" right behind her, causing the small girl to jump. She pushed the chair out from under her and stood up, whirling around and smacking the older boy in the back of the head.

"I'd love a dog," she agreed, "I'd also love to keep my hearing." She shot a joking glare towards Jon, and smiled. A glint of red caught the young medic's eye and she saw that one of his burns had split open and was bleeding. She shook her head and pointed at it. "What would you guys do without me, you're all infections waiting to happen." She stuffed her hands into the pockets of Jeremy's jacket and found the gauze and disinfectant that she had stored in them. "Come on and let me cover that up." She instructed, somewhat forcefully, now in medic mode.

Jon smiled knowing he escaped the the medics grasp he saluted "Right away captain!" he almost flew out of the kitchen he ran down to the armory which was in the room next to the forge. He went in and grabbed a rifle for every crew member including himself. He then quickly ran to his room and retrieved his pistol, sword, and tomahawk and belted them on. He then picked up the rifles again running to where the rest of the crew would meet and started to lay out the guns so everyone would get easy access. Then he ran back to the armory to retrieve the ammo for the crew carrying a crate under each arm running back to the area and putting them close to the guns. He knew that everyone on this ship had a sword because he was the one who made a personal sword for everyone. He pulled out each rifle loading them quickly his hands moved fast and exact. He knew where everything was because he either fixed or made these guns. After a while everything was prepared for battle. He waited anxiously for combat his eyes watching the other ship with excitement.
