Age: 27

Race: Human

Height: 5’11

Occupation: Merchant Sailor and Privateer

Personality: The right tool for the right could be the easiest way to describe Cains personality. For the most part he’s a pragmatist, he doesn’t have a fierce temper but when the need arises he will become angry. He does have things he enjoys, simple things mostly the taste of red wine and mead, the smell of the ocean spray, the feel of the warm sun, and the like. Most of all he enjoyed the freedom the sea gave him. He had his dislikes too.

History: There is nothing special about Cain, he was not born under a special sign, nor was he cursed in any way shape or form. There is nothing special about him. He was born in a port city, he lived in a port city, and wouldn’t you know it when he was old enough to do so he entered into one of the three occupations that most people born in a port city. He became a deck hand on a whaling ship the pay was fare to middling, he didn’t have to degrade himself as the...companions inside the port and he wasn’t scraping for work like a dock worker. While as a deck hand he learned how to sail, when the ship had to repel pirates he learned how to fight, when on shore he stuck close to the boatswain and quartermasters and learned the value of things and how to sell them for a good price. And that’s how it went he caught on quick and rose through the ranks eventually becoming the ships boatswain and a harpooner.

Things went well for quite some time until one unfortunate event at the end of a productive whaling season when the ship Cain was on was sunk. It was a risk of the job from time to time a whaling ship will harpoon a whale that far out classes the ship and the whale fights back smashing the ship to pieces. Luckily Cain was able to make it back to his home port of Radasanth. Once there he purchased a ship he could afford and highered a crew mostly made up of the surviving crew he served with.

Things began to get real interesting when Cain began getting involved in the Corone Civil War on the side of the Corone Republic. With his ship being shallow in draught and incredibly fast he began blockade running through the various harbors of Corone. As time went on he was pursued by the Might of Corone. Through a series of capers, and a lot of luck Cain sunk the larger, faster and more powerful ship. This had the effect of the Admiralty writing a letter of Marque for Cain and his crew.

His next major engagement was against a squadron of Imperial Frigates commanded by the tenacious Commodore Evans. Again Cain had luck and several merchant men ships on his side. He had won the day with his ship in a bad state; the merchant men being grateful for his work in defeating the Evans fleet refitted the Peregrine handsomely.

After several months at sea Cain traveled in land and took on a job defending Alerar from magical constructs. Along with members of the Tarot and other well known heroes of Althanas. During that same period he took part in a tournament in the Citadel where he met Storm Veritas in single combat.

Soon after that Cain disappeared over the horizon for several months. Upon his return he was highered to help capture and pilot an Alerarian steam ship by Shinsou Vaan Osiris. During that adventure he discovered a new race of lizard folk and wrote a concise primer on their language and sailing techniques before meeting Rayleigh Aston briefly, yet another member of the Tarot.

Upon returning to his ship Cain was highered by the demigod Joshua Breaker Cronen to help him recover a pair of stolen boots from a band of pirates.

And so things continued.

He wears a white buttoned shirt with wooden toggles rolled up which shows off large ropy muscled arms, and tan pants with black boots.

Abilities:

Iron Willed: Cain doesn't frighten easily further more he is not easily mind controlled. In fact he is a real pain in the back side to mind control. Any one at Cains level can not mind control him at all. Any one blow Cain's level will suffer a debiliting headache and any one who is not at-least two levels above Cains level has to struggle to maintain control Cain.


Caster Gun: It's one of Cain's caplocks that shoots magic! Cain is not a powerfull warrior, nor is he a magical dynamo he is by and large a regular human being. A skilled and quick human being but nonetheless just a regular human in a world with powerful warriors, and magical dynamos. To answer these kinds of threats Cain has a gun that can fire bolts of raw tap energy equivalent to a mage of his level as many times a day as his level, once every two rounds, with a range of 100 yards.

Hi JDD! I'll be dealing with your update today.

I could do with a little more information about your caster gun. Firstly, is it a gun seperate to your cap lock pistols and, if so, where did you obtain it? If you didn't obtain it via a spoil or Bazaar transaction we might have a bit of work to do to get it approved.

Secondly, what kinds of magic does the gun shoot? How far and how fast?

I'm here to help, so fire me any questions you may have.

Hi again Cain. I can see you've done a few edits. Thanks for that! I still need to know how fast and how far your Caster Gun ability can shoot magic before we can approve this!

All right lets try this the ability fire bolts of raw tap energy equivalent to a mage of his level as many times a day as his level, once every two rounds, with a range of 100 yards.

Alright buddy. Looks like I can send this to the archives.

Approved!
