“A sword?” Jericho asked, shaking his head. “No, I’m not much of a “close-up” fighter.” He said. “I like to use my pistols, and if need be, I have a trident to help keep things away.” He said, smiling.

“And yes, I know my way around a ship. Worked on one since I was sixteen. Up until I started training to become a bard.” He told the captain. After the introduction, he nodded at the orders to head out to the boat. He went to his room, gathering his things. He picked up his trident and smiled at it. “Well sweetheart, ready for the sea?” He asked, grabbing his bag and leaving.

The second he stepped onto the ship, a huge smile appeared on his face. He walked around and started doing the normal little things, like checking the knots to make sure everything was tied down, seeing what kind of inventory they were dealing with, and finally, he stepped behind the wheel, giving it a few turns. “Well, she floats.” He said with a smile. “That’s always a good first sign.” He said, pulling his pipe out of a pocket and lighting it.

Trying to get my post up. Right now it’ll only let me post small things, but I’m hoping it’ll work in a little while.

Jericho sat in a tavern, playing a simple song on his lute. The crowd was...mediocre at best. Sure, the drunk bastards were giving him coin, and the drinks were on the house, which made the experience tolerable. But still, not exactly how he pictured his first act as a bard.

Then again, he pictured playing for a crowd of beautiful gypsy women, so anything else was going to be a let down.

After he finished the song, he walked to the bar, taking a drink of rum. “That hits the spot.” He muttered. It reminded him of the good days, on a ship, fishing the days away as the crew rushed about doing their jobs. Gods above, he needed to get his own ship and crew.

That’s when he say a flyer, asking for people to join a guild. Dangerous, working for people of high standing, and most importantly, great pay. He folded the flyer up and stuffed it into his pocket. He knew where he was heading next.

Jericho was listening to the desperation of the creature. He twirled a coin between his fingers, lost in thought.

Drowner? Rogue mermaid? Maybe some odd frog-man-thing. The possibilities were endless with the little info they were given. This would make a great story, and would let him get back on the ocean, something he had horrible missed these past couple of years. When he heard them ask for anyone useful to step-up, that was his signal. He put the coin away and walked up, looking at Haalard.

“Looking for someone who calls to the sea lad? I’ve got salt in my blood and gills on my neck.” He smiled and chuckled. “I’m Jericho, the Seaward Bard. Like the beast your hunting, I’m more comfortable in the water than I am on land.” He told him.

“So, I’ve had a couple of theories when it comes to this beast.” He started. “Right now, my mind instantly goes to a Drowner. Big, ugly, strong as an ox with the brains to match.” He said, shaking his head. “But, it could also be a mermaid of some kind. Possibly a siren.” He continued. “Again, those are just theories.”

Seaward Bard

Hunter’s Name: Jericho “Seaward Bard” Kirkhammer

Age: 25

Appearance:


Weapon of choice:
Trident
Twin Flintlock Pistols, which he calls “The Girls/Twins/Ladies” (but will use any firearm he can get a hold of.)

Armor of choice:
Leather

Strengths/Abilities:
* Charisma- Whether it be a simple song, or a tale as old as time, Jericho is a master of charm and words, and can make his allies feel like the most power men (or women) in the world, or make his enemies feel like they are worthless.
* Instrument Playing- Jericho can play a variety of different instruments, his favorite being the lute.
* Sea Survival- Jericho is happiest when he is on a ship, feeling the waves below him. He can climb up to the crow’s nest, or dive down into the sea with little issue.
* Ocean Knowledge- That fish you just caught, is it dangerous to eat? What’s the easiest way to find land, if you can’t see it? What is that shadow looming down in the depths? If you don’t know, just ask Jericho.

Weaknesses/Hindrances:
* Cooking- Jericho never learned how to properly cook, as he had always been on a ship with its own cook. He can cook something if he is camping, but it might not be safe to eat.
* “Royal” Settings- Jericho worked on ships for many years, where the men were rude, and the women were lewd. Because of this, Jericho is horrible to have at more “civilized” settings.
* Dolls- Jericho is terrified of dolls. He does not like being near them, and if the dolls get too close to him, his main focus will be on destroying said doll.
* Clumsy Fighter- As stated above, Jericho is a hell of a talker. He prefers words over actions, because he sucks in a fight. He has hardly any training, and will use any dirty tactics he can think of, which usually ends badly for him.

Personality: Jericho is a laidback charmer. He tends to make smartass comments, or flirty remarks, in even the most dire of situations. Jericho is very loyal to those he considerers as a friend, and will not willingly betray them.

History: Jericho was born in a small little fishing village by the sea, but he doesn’t like to say which one. “People like a good mystery.” He would say to anyone that ask.

At the age of sixteen, Jericho left his home and moved to Rothenburg, where he started to work as a deckhand, and working his way up. At eighteen he was working on the fishing crew, cannons, and all the other fun jobs. By the age of twenty, he was regularly working as a first-mate on different ships. However, he has yet to make enough money, or fame, to become a captain of his own crew.

Over the years, thanks to where he lived and where he has worked, Jericho has learned to respect to sea, and how to survive it more dangerous waves. At the age of twenty-three, Jericho left the fishing game after a Captain told him to try his luck at learning to be a bard.

“You’re a hell of a talker. Might as well get paid for it.” The Captain told him.

So, for two years, Jericho has been staying on land, working for an old bard in exchange for lessons. After the two years, the old bard gave Jericho his lute, and Jericho became the “Seaward Bard”.

Now, at the age of twenty-five, and being a bard for all of a week, Jericho found a note for a high-paying guild. What better way to return to the sea than as a man with enough money and fame to be a captain? Now, he must make the hardest decision of his life.

What to name his ship?

@Nymeria @LordLinguinie

I am very interested in this. I’ll start working on my character, should have him sent to one of y’all soon.

Marvel: Dark Underbelly (Closed)

Well, I figured y’alls characters would investigate the lawyer since he has been a public figure. Doing so would lead them to the sounds of a man screaming for help, and they would find him being attacked by a masked man, aka Mr. Knight. That was just my train of thought.
