Character Name: Edward Teach aka Blackbeard aka The Kraken aka Jeff the Accountant Character Age: late 30s-early 40s (37 per the wiki) Characer Species: Human Character Details: He's wearing all the leather, and he's wearing black on black on black. Other important trademarks are big ol' beard, big ol' hair, and big ol' covered in tattoos. Now that it's cold, he'll probably be walking a little awkwardly (the brace on his bad knee is visible but also black on black). Also "new" (post-1718) tech is baffling to him, but he's learning in fits and starts because of all his modern friends, and because a kind soul helped set up his relic so he can just yell at it and it'll do reading/writing for him. Character Summary: Imagine Blackbeard, but make it a pirate romcom but keep the fact that he's legitimately dangerous to other human people in and around alt-history 1717. Essentially he's The Baddest Pirate Of His Era, has recently been turned on to what it is gentlefolk are all about, and is plotting his retirement into that fancy lifestyle (possibly by doing a murder probably not but tbd like circle back on that).
Character Role: Myth Character Role Deets: He's spent his life literally cultivating this wild and violent aesthetic that already fits, but lately he's been growing horns about it. Also he's spent his life literally cultivating "being the villain" and was just recently confronted with Other Options, so living in that struggle is delicious to me. Character Living Quarters: A (now solo) cottage in Gram. Character Schools: His former roommate was dragging him to magic-type classes but he definitely quite post-vanishing. Day to Day Life: Fight pits, because he's been hemorrhaging people who will punch him in the face and enjoy being punched in the face by him. He also haunts around food and tends to be randomly lounging in high places (particularly his own roof).
Current Mindset/Health: A MESSY ANGRY OLDER GENT WITH LESS OF A HANDLE THAN USUAL ON HIS RAGE ISSUES!! Also though he's moving sort of slow because he did get his buddy to stab him for a talent show (you know, very normal, as you do sort of things), and he's not 100% he trusts magic healing not to vanish abruptly and leave him in a bad way. Recent Developments: His co-captain vanished! Also several of his good buddies here vanished at roughly the same time! He's sort of lashing out about it and maybe going to be a little possessive about current CR/mistrustful of new CR! Also also at least for a little while he's going to have been disembodied while the most condensed and violent version of himself runs amok, so people may not find him super chill and approachable just now. Goals For Your Character: Confronting his own narrative! Edward has carefully curated himself into an idea that's bigger than a person. Time with his new canon bestie was beginning to make him question how much he actually is the idea vs a distinct human person and what all that even means for his life. Coming here has upped that ante because it's like! a key PvE question!! Now that his canon bestie is gone, he's regressing, but I'd like to keep pushing him into situations where he keeps grappling with who he's made himself into vs who he actually is vs who he could be vs who he wants to be. It'll require a lot of soft CR growth and also a lot of really ugly CR growth for his backsliding (so anyone who wants to be impressed into a ship that doesn't exist, apply here). Problems With Your Character: Getting out of his 'Look What You Made Me Do' era, tbh
Wanted CR: Buddies to punch and be punched by. Buddies to drink with. Buddies to tentatively reopen his most recent panics with. Not-quite-buddies who want to be in a pirate crew! Not-at-all-buddies who think he's a bad dude and will tell him to his face (and then there's probably punching)! Misc mentees he can impart his ancient wisdoms to!! Unwanted CR: Nothing really, but let's be good and ooc-communication-y about negative nonsense. o/ Open/Closed to New CR: Both!
