The Man Who Never Smiles

Main:

Name: Rameses Vaeron
Aka: Vaeron
Age: somewhere in his 40s but looking good
Race: Human
Hair: brown turning grey
Eyes: Light sea blue
Build: Strong and well-built
Height: 6ft 5 inches
Weight: Whatever makes sense
Occupation: Pirating Mage/Paladin


Appearance:

A tall, rough man who has wrinkles on his face but is well muscled for his age. He has broad shoulders, a stern jaw and large feet. He usually wears simple tunic and trousers, as well as an askew tricorn hat.
He also has an unmistakeable scar on either side of his face, a small nick on either cheek where his smiling muscle was cut.

Personality:
Vaeron never smiles. That does not mean to say he does not feel emotion. Indeed, in actuality he feels emotion intensely, and at time it comes out in bursts of rash action, such as killing a whole hoard in anger. He sometimes feels joy even, and laughs in a rough, non-smiling way, which comes out in short huffing bursts. His past, however, has left him in a permanent state of mild depression and also an oddly precise accident in his 20th year left his Zygomaticus major muscle that allows him to smile to be injured. He is serious and proud, but also incredibly caring when he meets someone who he genuinely respects. This happens rarely, but when it does it often the creation for him of a lifelong friend.
Vaeron is also gay, and struggles with this in a generally homophobic world.

Skills:

High Elven Association: Having lived amongst the elves of Raiaera for all of his life, Vaeron is both an expert and a lover of the culture and gods of this land. He considers Dark Elves his enemies and will readily trust any High Elf fairly easily.

Knife Play: Vaeron is an expert knife fighter. He fights single-handed and is quick despite his age.

Piracy and Seaman: Due to his experiences with the Black Sails Armada and Captain Tanglebeard Vaeron has learnt much of the way of the sea and of piracy. He has been on four ships to date, and serves currently on the Fiesty Fox, under captain Philomel the Matriarch.

Astronomer: Vaeron is an expert astronomer, and can always find his way via the stars at night. He knows almost every constellation and can name them.

Survivalist: With a good knowledge of how to look after himself and being brought up by his hunter father, Vaeron knows a good deal about life and keeping alive. Everything from making a fire, to hunting with a short bow, Vaeron is no stranger to starvation.

Short bow: He is proficient with a short bow.

Earlon: Vaeron served for a short time as a priest of Earlon in his early twenties. During this time he became “blessed” by the god, and is now fully knowledgeable of the gods affinities and powers. He is also able to wield powers associated with Earlon, and still serves as an ambassador for him.

Abilities:
Earlon: Vaeron is blessed by the Raiaeran sea and star god. This spans from his time serving as a priest for this god. Born naturally adept at magic, Vaeron became a mage through worship and has been granted powers based on this.

The Ocean’s Rage:
Vaeron is able to contain and use what he calls “The Ocean’s Rage”. This is a form of gathering the energy of a sea storm, along with the passionate emotion and anger within it, along with the lives it takes from sailors, and containing it until it can be used in a variety of ways.

Wave
This energy is a bolt or strike of telekinetic-like power, that hits as a force or a strike of a wind. The Wave is performed by Vaeron via a weapon, most likely his indigo dagger Kraken and essentially creates a wave of power of the same length of his weapon’s blade and in the same direction, essentially extending the strike. Currently the force can send a strike equal to a 5 richter scale earthquake, capable of pushing someone back a metre, and can send a crack up a wall or break a window. It can also cause a major wound on unarmored skin, and damage iron armour. It continues as a blast for up to 1 metre and then all energy dissipates (at one time, it does not decrease in strength with distance).
Uses per thread: 3

Current
Vaeron is able to send a wave of energy from his short bow. When he does this he needs no arrow, just the bow itself. When he draws back the string and summons the magic a bolt of energy will merge, in the form of an arrow. The “arrow” is capable of flying 150 feet and when it pierces the target it will send a direct form of energy through that. The energy of Current the same as Wave - 5 on a richter scale, capable of damaging iron armour, causing a major wound. It can also cut smaller branches from trees.
Uses per thread: 3

Water: Flow:
Vaeron is able to summon one litre of water to his side wherever he is, whether it is from the air or from a nearby stream. This is more difficult depending on the environment, for instance it would be more difficult in a desert, however he usually can get the amount in less than 5 seconds. From there he can move the water with his hand and mind to where he wants it to go. It will flow as fast as is naturally viable, using only gravity and force to guide it. This ability has 4 uses in a thread, its only purpose at the moment for it to be drunken or the water to be thrown in someone's face. This is to the same effect of an ordinary cup of water being thrown in their face.
Notes: not able to be used to block.
Uses per thread: 4

Equipment:
Kraken - an indigo bladed dagger as described below in specifics.
A yew short bow.
A quiver of 12 yew and iron arrows.
An iron sword (barely used) with leather sheath.
A pack of supplies for a week.
Clothes.
A tricorn hat.

Kraken:
Vaeron has a unique dagger. The blade on it is the colour of indigo, a rich blue, with a silver handle. It is one foot in length and is straight and double edged. The dagger itself is unusual in its power - it seems to have the ability to take on properties of other materials or weapons (such as material strength, enchantments etc) whether magical or otherwise, that are ‘mated’ with it at a permanent level. ‘Mating’ a dagger to Kraken requires Vaeron to be near a large body of water underneath the stars, and he can only ‘mate’ one dagger per few months (i.e. once per every level).
At the moment Kraken has the strength and endurance of a steel blade.

Familiars:

A huge shire horse stallion called "Meglodon."

History:

To be revealed in a series of epic tales.

However basics are as follows - born in Raiaera in a small community of humans. His mother abandoned him and his father shortly after Vaeron’s birth. His father was a hunter, and taught Vaeron much of his trade until the age of 18, when Vaeron felt the call to turn to the priesthood of the local elves - Earlon.

He spent five years in this profession, and became known as ‘blessed’ and ‘honoured’ by the god, until he and some other younger priests came across a troop of vagabonds in the streets. By some strange curious happenstance, Vaeron received only one permanent injury, and that was the cutting of his Zygomaticus major muscle, that which is key in helping you to smile. Because of this Vaeron has never since been able to smile.

He left the priesthood, mostly disheartened and set about returning to his father. He got back to his village only to find his father remarried and no longer interested in him. Now with no family, Vaeron left and wondered for some time, before coming across a quiet bay, and in that bay were sailors. He spoke to them, and then joined them. By way of practise he learnt the methods of sailing, and spent the next two decades of his life slipping between wandering by himself as a hermit of Earlon and a sailor.

Then sometime later, and after a lover or two that failed him or died, Vaeron came across the man who is Bernard Lavishingham, a talented but ditsy mage. The two of them began to travel with one another, until Vaeron introduced him to the sea and later a life of piracy. Lavishingham was uncertain, but Vaeron persuaded him to embrace the life. The two of them came to know a pirate captain called Captain Tanglebeard, and they sailed with him on his ship the Fiesty Fish. Some years later the two mages helped a certain faun to take over that ship, and now Vaeron works somewhat with Philomel van der Aart, being one of her closest allies but all the while creating his own adventures.
