Silver Kingsly

Silver Kingsly

"Every advancement requires sacrifice."

Name:
Silver Kingsly
Alias(s):

Age:
27
Height:
5'10"
Weight:
163lbs
Hair Color:
Light Brown
Eye Color:
Hazel
Crew Position:
Sylph Squadron Leader

Physical Appearance:
Silver is a rather fit man who enjoys keeping himself in shape for the job at hand. He has long messy hair used to have darker, but has lightened over the years due to the amount of time that he has spent under the sun. There never appears to be any effort to keep his hair under control except for a small braided ponytail on the back of his head. He tries to keep a professional appearance with a clean shaven face, but most of the time forgets to shave and always keep a shadow of stubble on his face.

Attire:
The defining feature of Silver's attire are the golden goggles and gold plated headphones that he keeps on his person at all times. Unlike his hair, Silver likes to keep a neat appearance with his clothes with a crisp white button up covered with a black vest over this. He also sports a leather harness around his shoulders that acts as a holster for his personal cryslock pistol.

Silver's pants are black breeches that are held up by a thick leather belt that has a leather pouch attached to his right hip. His pants are tucked into thick military style boots that are laced up to his lower shin.

Personality:
Silver when he was younger was described as a mechanical genius who showed an aptitude for ship designing. Since he was little there was a large amount of pressure on him to preform no matter the damage done to the young man. This meant that when Silver was younger he would always take everything seriously with little room for humor or any notion of fun. Eventually, the young Kingsly broke down and left the public eye at the age of 19 as he took his time to unwind.

At this time, Silver has not reclaimed the same stubborn headed seriousness that he showed in his earlier years and now enjoys life. He has decided that he would take a more laid back approach to life. There are times that he will become serious again and those are only when those he cares about are endangered and have their lives threatened.

Weapons & Equipment:
Cryslock Pistol

Cryslock Long-rifle

Shard Ability:
Silver's shard ability took the form of a unique form of healing is actually completely useless in a practical sense. His healing ability is only able to heal flesh wounds that are superficial in nature and pose no threat to his health. The ability draws upon his own reserves of energy to heal and even leave a scar where the heal takes place meaning that his body is covered in small scars.

Brief History:
Silver's parents were both factory workers on the Southern Tower of Shoel. This meant that he did not grow up in the richest parts of the Tower with the family just making it with the money from the factories. From a young age, Silver displayed a higher than normal intellect and a talent for analyzing ships and how to improve upon their designed. He had also been known to take a few things apart before putting them back together. When his parents discovered this gift of his, they pooled all the money they could get and sent him to a proper school to expand his knowledge.

During Silver's time in mechanical school he was the target of many pranks and bullying for his low upbringing. This only pushed the young man to improve himself and show the others that he wasn't just some lowly born person who by luck was in their school. This cycle of bullying and improving his skills went on for several years until the age of seventeen when he graduated from the academy and was offered a job at a design firm. He spent the next two years helping to improve standard ship designs until he grew tired of the pressure put on him to perform to his fullest and disappeared from the public not even telling is parents where he went to.

Five years later, Kingsly reappeared on the Broken Spires as a merchant selling ship upgrades to pirates and merchants alike. It was during this time that Captain Payne found him and recognized him as having a shard ability. Silver mulled over the idea for a few days before realizing that the ship that Fletcher captained was the only hybrid ship in existence and couldn't resist coming aboard to study the ship.

Relationships:

[Illusion]

Wellll, since we're all a part of the crew on the same ship I'm gonna assume everyone knows each other to an extent.

@DeadBeatWalking Poole and Maria can be buddies, or enemies, or just acquaintances if you want?

Should probably try adding more relationship stuff so starting the RP won't be awkward with interactions.

[Kalas]

Alrighty then! The first post has been edited! Let's goooooooo!

[Illusion]

When the IC starts and you're ready to go

[Kalas]

@Kheyal Your character has been accepted, and we're starting the RP now! :)

[Mixtape Ghost N]

I think, for now, I'm gonna have to officially withdraw interest due to real life getting me down and killing my interest.

[Kalas]

@Mr Allen J Okay man, thanks for letting me know.

[Famotill]

I'm excited for this RP to begin :)

[Kalas]

I'm excited for this RP to begin :)

@Famotill

It has started bro, check the first post in the IC :P

[Gunther]

@Kalas I went with Navigator...

The Black Baron

"You gotta try your luck at least once a day, because you could be going around lucky all day and not even know it." --Jimmy Dean

Name: Alcides Demophon

Alias: The Black Baron or simply, "Al" as a nickname.
Age: 28
Height: 70" (177.8cm)
Weight: 176 Lbs (80 Kg)
Hair Color: dark brown
Eye Color: blue

Crew Position: Navigator

Physical Appearance: Alcides Demophon, is 5' 10" tall weighing 176 Lbs on his lean slender frame. His brown hair shapes his oval shaped face with his baby blue eyes being his best feature; drawing attention to him where he goes. His occasional smile is his best feature, but this bit is saved for the ladies, because that is his primary goal in life.

Attire: "The Black Baron" prefers to dress in black which lends itself to his sobriquet. His knee-high patent leather riding boots and heavy leather drover's coat with black fur lined wide collar are signature articles for the Black Baron. He may wear either a buttoned shirt with a high, straight collar or a heavy black turtleneck sweater under the leather drover's coat. Occasionally, he wears a black leather aviator's cap with vintage goggles, sun, wind and dust propped up on top of his head.


Personality: Alcides, The Black Baron is confident, to the point of being cocky (cheeky). He also holds himself in high esteem, acting in somewhat of an aristocratic or entitled manner. The Baron may occasionally drift into sarcasm, if the situation suits him. He enjoys producing a gentle facade that makes him appear an aristocrat, but alas, he is more scum than you can imagine. His roots lie in the gutter. Wealth acquired aboard the Ocean Horizon has afforded him the ability to maintain an appearance. Alcides is driven by lust for women and greed. Conquering as many lasses as possible is one of this man's priorities. He is not prone to over drinking, but will imbibe on occasion. Alcides is a risk taker, enjoying the thrill of a game of chance. Gambling and women are his primary vices. Making money is his primary desire and motivation. Spinning a finely crafted confidence game is one of his favorite pastimes.

Weapons & Equipment:

- As a gentleman, Alcides prefers and carries a swept hilt rapier constructed of fine quality white steel. He has trained in its use, naturally priding himself in this ability.

- The Baron carries a pair of ivory handled cryslock pistols designed for close-range accuracy in holsters at his hips. These weapons utilize specially refined Light Crystals as ammo. The mechanisms within the guns are designed to release the light energy stored within the crystals in such a way that the hardened crystal shells are propelled out of the barrel like musket shots.

Shard Ability:
Carnomancy - Part of the Baron's persona is his embodiment of complete awareness and control over his body and its functions. As a result, Alcides feels a heightened sense of energy, which translates into increased speed, an abundance of strength and an increased constitution allowing him to withstand a great battery of punishment.

Brief History:

Alcides originated in the Broken Spires to the west. Home was a tiny flat on the 197th level. Themicles, his father spent most of his life on the docks; a longshoreman of sorts; loading and unloading ships for merchants. He was paid well, but spent most of his money in the local drinking establishment. The money was spent on alcohol, women and gambling. When not working, Themicles was sleeping. As a result, Alcides came and went as he pleased. He was educated on the spire as most of the children were. They had a formal educational institution they attended, but it was more for socializing than learning anything useful. He did pay attention on occasion, but it was not his priority. Alcides earned a reputation for slick talking or what others call "Spire Speech".

Following in his father's footsteps, Alcides worked the docks and signed onto a C-Class merchant ship as a deck hand when he was 15. He quickly learned how the engine worked and was assigned as a mechanic in the engine room. The one aspect of this experience he hated was always being filthy. He bathed as often as he could finding it difficult to get the grease off his fingers. He vowed to get out of the engine room as soon as he could.

At age 18, he found employment on a Victory class freighter. Instead of working in the engine room, he befriended the navigator and found himself as the man's apprentice. The ship's navigator taught him his profession and Alcides learned quickly knowing his alternative was the dark, filthy, hot, sweaty cave known as the engine room. It did not take Alcides long to understand the art of navigation, even learning how to navigate by the stars. His Navigator, who he referred to as Duke Grandy or just Grandy took him under his wing and taught him all he knew about the job.

Alcides enjoyed his time as apprentice Navigator, but knew he wanted something bigger. Ole Grandy wasn't going anywhere, so he knew he would have to look for employment elsewhere some day. For now, he enjoyed his time aboard the "Vengeful Maiden". He got into fighting, boxing and other antiquated forms of unarmed combat. He boxed in his free time, he sparred with ship mates. Ole Grandy taught him how to fence as a gentleman and the young man became adept at its use. His insistence on dressing in black enabled him the sobriquet of "The Black Baron" mixed with his self-entitled aristocratic behavior.

Within four years, Alcides fell in with an old chum, he'd met sometime in his past, Fletch Payne. They may have crewed together either on the C-Class or the Maiden. Fletch assisted Alcides on a few of his cons, taking cash, jewelry and whatever other valuables they could take from a mark. It was fun, terrifying, exciting and risky. These qualities of life Alcides enjoyed the most. Alcides was always feeding the beast, as he occasionally put it. Feeding the beast was his expression for doing whatever it was he (or anyone) enjoyed doing; something that was an exciting thrill, an adrenaline pumping adventure.

When Fletch Payne took command of the Ocean Horizon, Alcides quickly took advantage of the situation and made his way aboard, first as helmsman, and later as Ship's Navigator replacing Herod Elmo, an elderly gentleman with a bad heart. Alcides learned the workings of this ship. Life had gotten so much better for the former dock rat, proficient in Spire Speach*.


Relationships:
Will fill in as characters are posted.

Captain Fletcher Payne - Alcides views Fletch as one of his oldest friends. They both see eye to eye on their desires towards women sharing bedroom tales from time to time. Both men are of equal size and martial skill, giving chance to spar or duel with one another as a means of training in the finer ways of the sword an in hand to hand combat. The Black Baron has the highest respect for the King of Storms, impressed at his ability to control the weather.

Renders a hearty Yarrgh!

*-Street slang.

[Kalas]

Well I'm excited to have The Black Baron back aboard the ship! Post him up in the CS Thread and then get to writing your first post :P

[Dolerman]

If anyone wants to add a relationship with my character feel free to. I'tll be a nice suprise and I'll have more to work with on my interactions.

[Oskar DiLondra]

Hey, would it be alright if I reserved two spots? One for the cook and another one unknown, a friend of mine is also interested but couldn't post a reply at the moment. Many thanks.

EDIT: I just read through the OOC and realised you had another person interested in that role, what other roles are available? I'd be happy to play anything, this just looks really cool :)

[Unraveller]

Ahhahaha! The RP has begun has it? My hope had almost dropped for some ominous reason. But no avail! I am glad, here's faith for it not to be dropped after the first few posts. I'll think about old Fergus and what's going on, though I might get his relationships sorted before I do.

[Gunther]

As I read your Character Sheets, I'll post relationship information or at least Alcides' perceptions of the character. Some will be friendly, some neutral and others may be cold if not hostile.

[Kalas]

@Oskar DiLondra

Hey man, glad to see that you're interested. The Chef position has actually reopend, fortunately, so you may indeed reserve that spot. I'll need a sheet up rather swiftly as the RP has already started. If you have any other questions don't be afraid to ask me here or in a PM.

As for your friend, they'll have to contact me themselves if they want to discuss a position for the ship.

[Oskar DiLondra]

Cool! I'll get that done ASAP, is it alright if I PM you with a couple of questions regarding the ship and the Shard abilities?

[Famotill]

Relationships for Petros have been updated! They aren't really relationships so much as they are general perceptions he has of the crew- given that he hasn't been on board for very long (I think he may be the newest member iirc). Also, I promise Petros isn't a bad person. He just takes some getting used to (which is mutually true regarding his feelings for most of the crew).

[Illusion]

@Famotill Great job with the relationships. It'll definitely make things more interesting haha.

I think I'll also go ahead and add impressions of the crew to my CS (later though).
