Physical Description

Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 190 lbs
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Limb Dexterity: High
Detailed Physical Description: Taller than the majority of the French nobility from his hometown, Casval is lithe but broad shouldered, with a mane of curly blonde hair and clear eyes of blue howlite. He inherited some of the Norse features of his ancestry in his square jaw and broad shoulders, but the hard angles are softened by the aquiline features and fair skin of the French nobility. His eyes and chin have a slight Asian cast as a result of his father, though this is the only thing he seems to have inherited from him.
Typical Clothing/Equipment: Since his descent to piracy, Casval has clothed himself in a rich red velvet jacket with gold trim, similar in cut to most naval uniforms though fundamentally different from any in current service. He wears loose fitting white silk trousers, white dress gloves, and polished black boots which come nearly to the joint of the knee, with his trousers bloused to them. Typically his face is covered by a white bandanna covering the top half of his face and including the eyes as well as a wide brimmed white canvas and felt tricorn hat, unadorned by trim. When in port, he tends to trade the bandanna for a polished white porcelain masquerade mask, which covers from just above his nose to his hairline, and features glass coverings in the eyeholes which make it difficult to see his eyes beneath unless one is rather close. On his white leather belt he carries a long dueling blade with a slightly curved blade and simple crosspiece at the hilt, as well as a matching dagger. When occasion calls for it, he's known to sling a red lacquered long rifle over his back, using a white leather sling.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude: Casval tends to use a combination of his silk tongue and iron resolve to keep even his allies at arms length, playing at the charismatic leader without allowing anyone close enough to learn any of his secrets. His aloof nature isn't always evident in his actions, as he tends to listen and empathize with those around him without revealing much of himself.
Skills/Talents: Charismatic, an adept fencer, and adept at hand to hand combat. He excels as a tactician and leader, but lacks specific knowledge about some of the workings of the ship, trusting his crew to handle those details.
Favorites/Likes: The color red, anonymity, and fine dining.
Most Hated/Dislikes: French nobility, dishonesty, cruelty.
Goals/Ambitions: Revenge on the families responsible for the death of his family, notoriety as a privateer.
Strengths: Leadership, one-to-one combat, tactics.
Weaknesses: Teamwork, large scale battle, damsels in distress, his temper, lactose intolerance, low alcohol tolerance, allergic to cats
Fears: fire
Hobbies/Interests: Whittling, fine clothing design, theater, murdering french nobility, chess
Regular Routine: Typically mornings will begin with a swift workout and swordsmanship practice, followed by a bath (even if just a rinse with seawater), a shave, and uniform maintenance and care before dressing. When at sea he prefers to keep the routine as simple as possible, and often reads in any spare time he can find. While at port, he spends most of his time looking for employment or finding ways to speed the downtime, and often spends time in libraries if possible.
Philosophy of Life: 'Life you may evade, but death you shall not.'
Attitude Toward Death: An unpleasant eventuality he'll be putting off for as long as the nobles responsible for his families death live.
Religion/Beliefs: Christian, though in a more vague sense than most. He does not particularly relate to the specific beliefs of any one church.
Fetishes/Strange Behaviors: Since his families death he has worn a mask of some sort, and refuses to be seen without it.
Most Instructive/Painful/Memorable Experience: The death of his family.
Sexual Preference/Experience/Values: Heterosexual, inexperienced, and nonpracticing.
Education/Special Training: Trained in basic Jujitsu by his father as well as fencing by his uncle, he tends to blur the two into his own unique fighting style. He's received a high level of education as well as some follow-on courses in naval tactics in preparation for his joining the French Navy before his family's deaths.
Place/Type of Residence: Currently drifting, lives and works aboard his ship, the Red Comet, which is currently in drastic need of repair.
