Drake Fellmen, from Seas of Paradise, a roleplay on RPG

Drake is often overlooked by much brawnier pirates for his build is somewhat lean. This is a fault that has caused many deaths in the back alleys of Corosav. He is incredibly tall, standing at 7'6''. He has aquired a almost glowing like quality from to his skin, being that when not by firelight he does many tasks in the day. Living in Corosav; theivery is not a difficult task. A little here, a little there; it's easy for him to aquire wealth. His Hair is that of a tawny gold that hangs messily over his eyes. His eyes on the other hand are a magnificent sapphire shade that are easy to become lost in; almost as if you were staring at the real thing. He wears an emerald shaded bandana over his head, to keep the sun oout of his eyes and to designate himself as "Head" Captain of his crew, their main color being that same green shade. The higher your color is on your clothing, the higher your rank is. His eyepatch isn't used to cover up a "stolen" eye, it is covered so he is able to see better in te dark.

His clothing is mainly a darkened leather, with wooden shoulder guards, greaves, and a breastplate hidden underneath. The armor is fairly useless against a close ranged blunderbuss shot, but it is quite effective against a quickened blade. Rapiers in particular as cutlasses can't be swung fast enough to make contact (Typically). His pants are also a made a a darkened leather, two buttons hold up his midwaist, another area of maidens delight. A loose belt is strapped around his waist, carrying his favorite cutlass, one that he can swing faster than any man in the Naeron ocean.

Personality

Drake is typically a cold, calculating sort of man who can be rash at times, this however changes quickly after several mugs of his favorite Ale, as grog and mead make him nauseous. He is an adept theif on land, but the sea has always been his next venture to be had. He dreams often of plundering vessels as they sank a fiery grave. After his first few swigs of Ale, the tacticion becomes a loopey, cynical, and carefree man, who often shows his Horny side; his crew will often snap him out of it. Along with being captain of his ship "The Mosswind" He is also the head gunner, having this position has given him hearing problems in normal speech but when he trys he can hear a pin drop in a crowded room. His personal motto is that "Plain sight is the best cover"

Equipment

Other than the artillery located on "Mosswind" Fellman's main weapon is his cutlass which has been crafted for him to almost have a "Khopesh" like shape. Being a theif he was able to gather the finest materials for his weapon, which he then had an "Old Freind" make for him, It's hilt is slightly twisted giving him a different play style than most cutlass weilders, it's extra curved shape is often misinterpreted and unseen when a slash is made. It's hilt is made of a smooth, almost gloosy Ebony, with several fine emeralds located in the pommel. In case the Cutlass isn't enough Hidden under his sleeves are two barbed spring daggers that spring forward when his arm is thrusted forward.Because of the barb, the Daggers hurt less on penetration, but when pulled out they leave a terrible wound.

Mosswind, Is a War Sloop, built for speed and quick raids; it's flags are all a light green shade, it is loaded with 9 canons on each side (Save for front and back) It's has no true weakness as all areas on the ship are of equal strenght, however being a smaller size the overall ship will sink easier.

His crew known as "The Black Willow"

History

Originaly his family had hailed from Suratan; his father being a High end merchant: and his mother working as an aide to a canonsmith. Drake learned from his father early on that business was not always easy and that you had to make your own way in the world. He never though it would help him that much later in life. His mother being a canonsmith, taught him how to maintain a canon, his first lesson was nearly a dream come true. Knowing how to sink as enemy ship was the first step to takeing there plunder.

Drake's father invited Drake to accompany him to Corosav one day, with approval from his mother; he eagerly lept aboard and began the voyage. Disaster struck as they made the voyage. Drake's father Died of an unknown disease. There wasn't a medic on board. The loss was incredibly slow, and painful. Seeing to the delivery was the rest of the sailors who quickly delivered it while Drake was sent into the local shopping district, they gave him a small bag of gold to make it more convincing. Before Drake could make it back the crew quickly sailed off back to Suratan. Marooning Drake on the newer island. Only God knows what has happened to his mother.

The lesson his father had taught him as a younger man prved sucessful in Corosav, nobody wanted to hire a street rat such as Drake. So he was truly left with no other option. Theivery, Assaination, sex, and overly large quantites of Alcohol transformed the young Drake into the man we know him as of today. Constantly pilfering loot from vendors quickly built his riches and resources.

Several months later a new ship arrived in Corosav. Recognizing one of the members of his old crew Drake quickly tailed and stalked the man. In no time he knew his name, occupation, and age. Davy Cruerla; Blacksmith, Age 52. Finally after Drake spent his time researching, he paid Cruerla a visit, cornering him, and forcing him to talk. Turns out Drakes dad wasn't infected, but he was instead poisoned, his crew was jealous of his Status and wnated the end of it, His mother back in Suratan was no longer a canon worker, in fact she wasn't anything anymore. When the crew returned they stormed the Fellmen home and brutally raped and killed the woman Feeding her remains to there dogs. Enraged by this Drake Forced the man to craft him some equipment in return for his life. The man with no other choice had to comply. Weeks passed and Drake's new toys were finished, Exactly to his specifications. The old man cowered behind him hoping for a right to go free. Drake did not see this as fair, so he quickly incapacitated the man, stuffed him inside a barrel and threw him too sea. The Barrel was originally filled with chum. Several minutes passed and a final scream erupted from the blue, now stained with red. His vengeance sustained, Drake decidded it was time to find the rest of these criminals. Another one, who was a carpenter lived nearbye, Drake had the man build his ship, afterwards, the man met the same fate as the smith.

After weeks of reconnaisence Drake realized the last crewmen wer farther out to sea. With his new Ship Drake was in control of becoming a captain. His crew, being a mix of incredibly intelligent men and women, began their voyage. Out for Blood, on the high seas.
