Description

Personality

Stryker is calm and cool most of the time, normally having some form of something hanging from his lips, smoking up the place. Even so, when out on a pirating run, he turns into a fearless, nearly suicidal raid leader and captain. Stryker acts like a monkey when fighting, jumping, spinning, flinging his scythe around like a maniac. He's learned to use said weapon as a 'tail' to swing from masts and catch an overjump. His crew started calling him the 'Monkey of the Momentum Maniacs' after his team name in the war and ship. Not long after, since he always acted like a kid, it shortened to the cuter form Momo he is known as today.

Equipment

Chainmail infused leather pants with agility enhancements.
Scythe about his hieght that has a blade which sharpens or dulls at the user's will.
His ship, the Momentum Maniac, if that can be considered equipment, and her crew of five.

History

Stryker was born in Kabron and, because of constant war, raised to be a fighter. His mother was the only family he had growing up, as his father either left or died before his birth. Seeing no point in naming her son, Stryker's mother simply called him that, Stryker. From the time he could stand, she kept a weapon in his hands at all times. She wanted a strong, tank of a child, but Stryker was soon found to be too agile and swiftly built for the role. So his mother adjusted herself for that by joining him in the agility area. There was no military for them to join, so they worked as roaming mercinaries, and Stryker learned much about backstabbing and dirty fighting durring his time like this. By the age of eighteen, he was tired of the life that demanded constantly killing and fighting for no reason other than money. So he ran away.

Stryker soon made a name for himself the only other way he could: being a runner. Delivering messages and packeges proved easy work, so that's how he spent a year of his life. Still, though, he found no interest in ferrying other peoples' belongings from one point to another, so he ventured towards the sea...and fell in love with it. Stryker's pirating carreer started with a simple deal by a captain that saw him pick a fight with a man for stealing his knife. Stryker, of course, walked away with blood on his knuckles. The captain was not dissappointed, so he made Stryker a perminant part of his crew, honorary should he choose to leave. Soon, taking orders began to frustrate him, so the first chance he could find and take a small boat, yet one big enough to support life, he said his goodbyes and took it.

Soon after, Stryker began popping up all around the seas, becoming known as the 'Monkey of the Sea' for his ability to jump around like a monkey while fighting and still come out unscathed. This is where his last name comes from. A bad runnin with another pirate ship almost got Stryker killed, however, and he called in old favors to keep himself alive. After contacting his old crew, Stryker gave a fair ammount of money and loot to have them fix his battered vessel and keep him from dying long enough to find a healer working black market deals. Not long after he recovered, the two ships joined forces and worked together. The main ship, known as 'Black Wave', would bust in from the front and bash the target as hard as possible, while Stryker's crew would sneak in the rear and raise hell from the inside.

It took no time for the military to catch on to this, so Stryker proposed they split up for a year or so and work alone, stashing spoils and loot in a coral reef close to an island. The only way to get to the treasure to retrieve it is to have a spell caster make one able to breathe under water. One spell caster stayed with each ship, and they parted ways. Stryker was now the happiest he could be. In his crew are two fighters, one spell caster, and a shooter/gunner. In order, their names are Rumi, Gore, Riptide, and Silence. Silence, being the only girl on Stryker's ship, disguises herself as a boy to all but the captain for obvious reasons. Rumi and Stryker are very close friends. Gore keeps his distance, but is a berserker in combat. Riptide...is usually not there. He's made a personal study for himself in a room below the ship where only a fish or mage can go. All items there are magically stored, so the water does not affect them. Durring combat, Riptide opens a door beneath the ship and stores the items in his cabin through water control. Aside from that and giving the ability to breathe under water, however, he is not considered a powerful mage, and has to fight with a weapon just like everyone else.

Currently, Stryker and his crew are hiding out, waiting for merchant vessels to pass by so he can get something worth taking and bring it to the stash, if for no other reason than to show that he can and has been raiding and pirating like a pro.
