| A P P E A R A N C E: | Irwin Kendrick is a slender man, except for his legs which have more developed muscles, who stands at a height of 5'6". As an ambitious professional he maintains a clean appearance, and goes out of his way to keep it so. He wears a fruity smelling cologne, maintains a spotless suit and uniform, and keeps his body free of dirt or any other form of muck.
| P E R S O N A L I T Y: | Irwin Kendrick is an upstanding example of a contemptible character. In his heart of hearts he is a conniving coward and con-man with ample ambitions to lie, cheat and steal his way to the top of the social and financial ladder. Despite, or because, of this he is a stickler for the law and codes of conduct. Irwin firmly believes order is the only thing separating man from beast alongside the perk that it keeps him safe from anyone he's stepped on. To most people he just seems like a milquetoast man, to his supervisors he is an immense brown-noser, but against those individuals who can't retaliate, or at the least Irwin thinks can't act against him, he is an over the top theatrical speech delivering scoundrel. If caught in any threatening situation Kendrick will scheme any way to weasel out of it whether it be begging, pleading, fighting dirty or giving them what they want.
| A B I L I T I E S: | When it comes to actual and factual fighting, Irwin has the primary tactic of fleeing and delaying foes for other crew mates to kill. This style of combat primarily means firing off his flash gun, then throwing a handful of stuff from his 'FUN Bag', utilizing anything the environment may provide for delaying before running for cover and away from foes. He will do this every single time unless he absolutely knows the opponent is dead and had some renown so Irwin could take credit for it. Other than this Irwin basically flails ineffectually for combat.
| S K I L L S: | Irwin's most valuable skill set involves his prowess in bureaucratic procedures. He is well versed in legalese and the procedure of paperwork. Kendrick knows several techniques and proper application in the fields of extortion, blackmail, racketeering, money laundering and his specialization of forgery. And to help out with these illicit activities Irwin has developed a superior sense for sleuthing for sordid behaviors of others so he can pressgang them to doing whatever he needs. And for when the business of blackmailing bites him in the bum, or just whenever he needs to leave in a hurry, Kendrick is an expert of maneuvering through crowded environments.
| B I O G R A P H Y: | Irwin Kendrick grew up on an unremarkable island in East Blue. He was the son of a small time arms dealer; but Kendrick really didn't know that world all that much considering his father was killed by a band of pirates who plundered most of the shop. The only thing that wasn't taken was a flash gun that was kept in a hidden safe. That item was the sole thing Irwin had to remember his father. Due to this event Irwin was raised by his scholarly grandfather who happened to instill the importance of bureaucracy into the boy. Realizing the importance of bureaucracy and driven by a desire to move beyond this pitiful island that brought him only heartache, Irwin vowed to join the Marines, which he figured he'd be able to enter in easily with his knowledge.
Unfortunately for Kendrick he was not able to immediately pass the entrance exams and become a Private. However the instructors did see some value in Irwin as they assigned him as one of the poor members of the Odd Jobs. Internally this infuriated Irwin who felt his glorious bureaucratic talents were being wasted. So Kendrick did what he did best; scheme. While practicing for the entrance exams he began to learn about his competition of other Odd Jobs and Privates. Kendrick systematically set about to ruin their reputation by either simply exposing the competitions hidden sinister nature to superiors or extorting them out of training. Through this weaseling he managed to become a proper Private. His first duties were on the Red Line.
His hopes of straight up bureaucracy were dashed when Kendrick realized he was
tasked to fight. His cowardice showed as during the first couple of fights Irwin hid in the lower decks of the ship, or behind proper foliage. Fortunately his immediate supervisor understood that fear was rational; however Irwin was firmly informed that he could not keep fleeing. It seemed likely that his trials of getting in would be for naught. But a serendipitous moment came during another pirate assault on the ship he was serving on; the first mate of this pirate crew was tasked with stealing the perishable goods aboard the Marine vessel. This was where Irwin happened to be hiding. Kendrick fired upon the first mate and managed to kill him. He was eager to announce this triumph to the superiors aboard the ship.
Though while he primarily hid he was slightly emboldened, and began to lay out traps so crewmates could get the kill and be in the bulk of the danger while he could steal credit. Using these tactics alongside continued illicit tactics Kendrick finally became a Warrant Officer. Sure he was still a soldier but he was just inches away from finally rising into the echelons of the officers. Unfortunately the deeds associated to Irwin caused him to be assigned to G5, a horrific base in the New World.
While scheming a way to return to a safer section of the seas, Irwin Kendrick still plans to rise up the hierarchy ladder.
