[ Always wanted to rp a pirate.... so I'm gonna! ]
Name: Kamalakar "Red Kam" Ra'ao
Race: Half-Elven
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 175 lbs
Occupation: Pirate
Personality: Kamalakar is spontaneous - random some might say - qick-witted, charming, and fairly intelligent, at least when it comes to "street smarts". He enjoys a good joke, loves a good prank, and absolutely adores a good caper. Loyal to a T, despite his thick streak of dishonesty, he is a fierce friend and persistent enemy.
Appearance: Fairly handsome and dashing, Kamalakar has long, black, intensely scraggly hair that has many random braids, beads, shells and the like scattered throughout it and a black goatee that is just as scraggly. Icey blue eyes and a very animated brow adorn his face. He wears rather typical pirate garb, consisting mainly of a loose, old, stained linen shirt, loose black pants, a myriad of rags and scarves in a kaliedascope of colors, and red bandana tying his hair back. Every now and then he wears his coat and tricorner hat... but this is mostly for special occasions.
History: Kamalakar was born to Damalakar and Kyleea Ra'ao, a pirate lord and elven maid, and was raised upon Damalakar's ship. Kyleea went with Damalakar of course, though it pained the crew, and Kamalakar was very close to his mother. Unfortunately she died when he was rather young, her constitution not meant for the open ocean. And so for the rest of his young life he was trained in the ways of pirate-try and took to it like a fish to water.
At the age of 14 his father made him his second mate - after all he could not replace his first mate who had been so loyal aforehand - and the Dread Marquee was the most feared pirate vessel in all the Lirenna Main. However the authorities did not like this, and so a vicious trap was set for the captain of the Marquee. 20 of the finest warships in the King's armada awaited the Dread Marquee at port headed by Admiral Lance Strife.
Though in the end the Dread Marquee escaped the fearful encounter, she was boarded, and Damalakar fell at the hand of none other than Lance Strife. Kamalakar swore vengeanced. It would not be until two years later that he would have it.
The crew of the Dread Marquee had almost instantly named him captain - there had never been any doubts about who would take over the ship should their beloved captain fall. And Kamalakar stepped into the role fearlessly, taking his father's coat and hat with pride. For nearly two years he plotted and planned, watching the activity of the Lirenna Empire's ships until at last he saw his chance... when Admiral Strife's ship would be all alone and he would be aboard.
They struck swiftly and without mercy in the night. The entire crew was annihilated, and Kamalakar slew Strife himself - practically bathing in the Admiral's blood. They left as quickly as they came, with an entire armada of ships in pursuit as soon as word spread about what happened. It took months, but low on supplies and in desperate need of food and repair work, the armada at last closed in on them, tearing into the small vessel with cannon fire. When the night was done, the Dread Marquee and her crew were gone, dead or set adrift on flotsam. Kamalakar was one such.
How long he was adrift he knows not. Days? Weeks? But whatever hand guides the destinies of men... it guided him to the shores of Corone. A new land, one he'd never heard of in his entire life.
Now, with just his swords and his wits, he seeks to find a new ship and a new crew... and perhaps someday to return home in glory to once more raid the Lirennen main.
Skills: Swordmanship - Kamalakar is fairly good with a sword, though he has vast room for improvement.
Acrobatics - Living on a pirate ship makes you quick. There are many things to be done hastily and deftly, and if you cant adapt you get left behind. Therefore Kamalakar is quicker on his feet than most people, and excellent and jumping, dodging, swinging on ropes, and climbing.
Diehard - Though he is decent with a sword and quick on his feet, it is a very different thing that has kept him alive through all his encounters with the long arm of the law, one that is hard to pin down. While he has an intense knack for getting into trouble, he also has an equal knack for escaping it. It is usually his wits that saves his skin, that and an unexplainable ability to survive what should have killed him. Many times he's woken up wondering why he woke up, for he should have been dead. This often infuriates his enemies who wonder why on earth this boy is so damnably hard to kill.
Other..... skills: Likes the Ladies - Kamalakar is definitely a ladies man, and it will be an arduous, painful, and likely not-worthwhile cause for any woman to try and keep him to herself. Though most find it hard to resist his charms, this often ends in his detriment, for sharing a bed with two different ladies in one port often leads to him being cornered by both. Not a great situation to be in, savvy?
More Grog! - Kamalakar likes the drink almost as much as he likes the ladies... and spends quite a bit of his landbound time pissed off his rocker. This gets him into almost as much trouble as his womanizing.
Weapons: Twin Cutlasses named "Wrack" and "Ruin" - These two elegant swords are made of steel and have solid oak handles.
Items: Aside from traveling necessities, he carries only one item with him. A small locket on a necklace, made of fine silver. Nobody else alive has seen what's inside, and he's certainly not about to tell anyone. This item is far too precious to him to ever sell.
