Name- Ryu Kaitz
Age- 473
Gender- Male
Race- Elemental, originally from a desert elf tribe.
Ship- The Algo
Positions- First Mate
Bounty- 710,000$ [Piracy, Aiding & Abetting, Arson, assault, disorderly conduct, drunken disorderly conduct, drug distribution, drug possession, indecent exposure, kidnapping, murder of the first degree, murder of the second degree, prostitution, rape, robbery, sexual assault, theft]
Element- Fire
Appearance- Ryu’s appearance gives away his status as an elemental. With hair a dark crimson red and eyes that seem to reflect the nature of the very element that has been locked within him since birth, burning and shifting with the red of flames. It is almost natural for him to come from the scorching desert, the harsh sunlight toasting his skin, tanning his to a dark gold. Standing at 5’9, his elf ears tagged with three piercings, he doesn’t quite make it as a threatening man. The only thing that makes him capable as a pirate are the natural gifts of being an elemental; that and a few sit ups a day. Details in reference picture.
Identifiable marks/scars- The only visible scar to the pirate is a small cut running down his lip on the left side, continuing on till his chin. Many others cover his chest and arms, but are usually hidden by clothing.
Clothing- Detail of clothing can be found in reference pictures.
Personality- Being only human (not really), there are many sides to this man’s personality. At the forefront, he is a pirate. That requires a slight disillusion with the world to not be spiritually corrupted by the moral and legal crimes that he commits to continue on with his way of life. Also as a first mate, he has gained himself a street wise wit, and has the arrogance to use it to his advantage. His life hasn’t always been easy, spending more than enough time walking the moral back roads of society to set himself up with the knowledge to adapt and survive in the darkest of corners, and he’s survived this far. As much as he’d like to credit that to his ‘skills’, it has more to do with his rather willing nature to pay for things with his body. Using his seductive and charming personality to his advantage, it’s often helped him get through tight purses and rough situations.
Coming off as smooth as silk, it’s often hard for people to catch on to the fact that he’s fairly intrusive, loving to push buttons to get close and find out more about everyone that catches his interest. He’s developed a sense of being able to know what to say to make people give him what he wants. Of course, with how far and how long he’s lived, it takes a very interesting soul to catch his interest. The rest can be treated with a polite indifference, blanketed over with a presumptuous title he places them under. Nothing can really shock him anymore; the world is jaded to him. And because of this, despite all the lessons beaten in to him, he often turns a blind eye to the repercussions of his actions, because after it all, the ends justify the means.
History- The desert elves, residing in the hot plains of Uraeus, are not known for their acceptance. They survived by being hard, and expecting nothing but mass efforts for a group benefit. Personal needs were irrelevant. A young man, however, found himself unable to conform to the rules and guidelines thought of as law; fight for your tribe, give your life for it’s not important as the goal, and lay with a woman. The punishment was a singular effect of a father physically trying to reprogram a rebellious mind. As a child, one cannot run from the abuse and hate that a parent begins to sow for a child that disappoints them. But as a young elemental, one step too far can cause a violent chain of events, sparking a horrible fire created by a young mind only wanting to destroy everything that tried to make him hate himself.
Young, inexperienced, and all ready a fugitive, Ryu could only turn towards the unknown distance to try and find some escape. For a large portion of his life he ran from the law, spending most of his time in the wild, trying to see everything he could. He survived by learning to take what he could from the land, and when an empty stomach and the cold earth got too much, he would sell anything he could for a warm bed and some hot stew. It started with helping around the farm, to selling himself, to partaking in increasingly large criminal activities. He saw the bad side of the world, and he learned that it could help him survive. He also learned that he was weak, occasionally breaking to the rules beaten into his skin. One of his weaknesses, despite the frustration for giving in, created a little shrimp that he eventually learned to accept, maybe even love a bit.
Neither one of them is willing to discuss the exact details, but eventually, he crossed paths with the man that would end up being a key player in his future. Dynast Raze, self claimed pirate, and current resident in a derelict, grounded ship, quickly became as close as comrades as any two men could be. Added in their status as unofficial lovers, and a bond grew that was only amplified by Ryu’s elemental reaction to this man. They both saw their futures; an elemental and a grounded want-to-be pirate. Their contract was signed, and Ryu, in a selfish move, took his Captains heart, both protecting and betraying his friend in a double edged contract.
Now, with a ship, a captain, and a whole world to explore, Ryu was finding that he had finally found a place in the world that accepted him well enough to his liking.
Weapons- Ryu wields a single scimitar, the blade contrasting the slight gold decoration inlaid through its shaft, with the chips and marks across its surface. It has taken much wear, but it is also mostly for defence, relying more on his power as an elemental to survive, as well as a slight skill as a martial artist that has helped him more than once.
Extra- He speaks with an accent closely resembling that of an Irishman.
