Pirates of the Calarian Main

Aghilas Jêle Doeli

Before Cricket could respond a voice was heard shouting.

"PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD!" The booming voice rang out loud enough that it was plainly heard in the underbelly of Vengeance, accompanied by call backs from the deck asking their business. At which point the response was plainly heard. "Captain Aghilas of the Hamsat al-Marid wishes to pay respects to Captain D'Ambois of the Vengeance!"

Moments later footsteps were heard running down the deck above to the hatch above, shouting down into the hold. "Wherry come up along us. Captain of the Marid" He called, repeating for Coralie more or less word-for-word the exchange that had just been shouted.

Abisu

Languidly the spindly young man stood up in response to Harper, swaying as he braced against the couch for support and squinted in Harper's direction. "Beer pong?" Climbing awkwardly over the couch instead of going around he approached the table with a zombie like shuffle, appraising the table like a chess player evaluating the board. "You know that beer pong is a conspiracy right?" He looked between Harper, Seth and Steve. "Made up by a marketing company hired by budweiser whose executives wanted to sell more beer to young college students."

Abisu

Abisu remained on the couch, still holding the controller staring at the screen. "That." He declared, even as Harper was already moving on to beer pong. "Was a horrible way to die."

There was a long pause where he continued to reflect.

"Imagine having fought that long, and that hard. Only to be just... picked up. And walked off an edge to oblivion by a being so... committed to your destruction they didn't care about their own life because they already know they've won at this life, and you've lost. And you're unable to do anything to affect your fate." He continued speaking quietly to no one in particular. "And all you can do is writhe helplessly, as the unthinkable becomes... inevitable."

He turned away from the tv screen, opening his mouth and emitting a large cloud of smoke from his lips. "Fuck."

Steve Hammersmith

Steve perked up at the mention of weed, "If she isn't keen I'll buy a half-ounce off you and you can use the proceeds to bankroll your losing streak at whatever that game is."

Abisu set the bag of blue 'copium' on the coffee table and reached into the paper bag to pull a couple small pre-weighed bags of weed. Abisu coughed, smoke coming from his lips despite him not having had a hit from the bong in some time. "I think we have ourselves a deal." Abisu said in his half-lidded dream-like drawl, looking uncertaintly from Hammersmith then to the bags he held until eventually he closed his eyes and settled on one. "You'll find this, has just the right... blend." Abisu smile and gave a long relaxed rolling chuckle, his eyes still mostly closed. "You ah, strike me as a THC man after my own heart." He dropped the bag into Hammersmith's hand and then opened his eyes and then leaned forward. "Now where's that controller? You guys can do whatever with the music, I's just groovin'."

Abisu

Ava raised her hands defensively at the slander thrown towards her controller. "Please, I don't need a phob for this party." she said, reaching forward and unplugging it. "You could hand me the shittiest third party Mad Catz ass controller and I'd still beat anyone here." She wrapped the cord of her controller back around it and tucked it away in the case.

She leaned forward and grabbed a generic GameCube controller. "Now where's the copium?"

@Demencia

Abisu's attention was drawn away from the kegs by the new arrivals. "You know..." Abisu slid back down from the back of the couch and spun to the coffee table, covered as it were with lighters, plastic baggies, a large paper bag and a large, lit bong. He began rummaging through the paper bag, while clearing a space for a controller or console on the table. "I think I have those."

Eventually he produced a small plastic ziplock bag containing a set of small blue pills. "Copium."

Lying back he turned towards the tv and console then to Sterling. "You know, I'll play but I don't really have 'money.' You take weed?"

Abasi

There was no mistaking that Abasi was already setup in the common room. It was plainly evident from the cloud of smoke that was emerging from the other side of the couch. There was also the fact that Funkadelic's One Nation Under a Groove was playing, albeit at a fairly sedate volume over the sound system.

Here's a chance to dance our way
Out of our constrictions
Gonna be freakin'
Up and down
Hang-up alley way
With the groove our only guide
We shall all be moved
Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down on

So there was no need to see Abasi to know he was there, even before the tell tale gurgling noise rolled through the hall and he peaked his head up over the couch. Abasi gave a little waive to Harper, sounding as he usually did, half-asleep when he spoke. "Need a hand with any of that?" Noticing Steve by the stairs he listed to Steve's side of the couch. "Hey Steve."

Character Description

Name: Abasi
Nationality: American
Sex: Male
Age: 21
Appearance:

Strengths and Weaknesses

Speciality: Artifice
Any Unique Spell:
Imbue Divination
Abasi, just Abasi, has developed the ability to imbue magical divination magics into a variety of drinks, drugs, foods etc. Weed being the most common. Abasi has no control over the divination. It might reveal something about the past, the present, the future, an item of obscure trivia, or something beyond reality, you never really know what its going to be! It's also not always clear what is the drugs, and what is divination, but his stuff is very popular.

Non-Magical Skills: Chemistry, Cooking, Street Knowledge, Astrology, Feng Shui, Philosophy, Obscure Trivia
Misc. Weaknesses: General Organization, Probation order, Discipline of any kind

Background:

Major: Pharmacology
Backstory: Abasi never knew his father and was raised by a single mom who'd emmigrated from Nigeria and worked three jobs to make ends meet along with two siblings.

The discovery of his unsual talents initially did little to improve the family's fortunes as they could not afford the tuition for the private school.

Despite early success in school Abasi fell in with local gangs, a right of passage in his community. Eventually transitioning to selling drugs and a number of contacts with police and youth services. The death of his brother convinced Abasi to reconsider things early on, refocussing on his studies and eventually using his drug dealing to pay his way into wizarding school, and sending money to his family.

He continued funding his education dealing weed, and booze to young wizarding students, coming in a few grades behind but otherwise was an intelligent, but underachieving, student that notheless always just squeaked by. A tradition he's kept up in ASU, studying potions and chemistry and adding the illicit manufacture of controlled substances in his reportoire.

Abasi has a juvenile record, is currently on probation for possession, and is known to campus police as a suspected dealer, though he's never been caught by them.

The question I ask myself is: does it create more and more varied content, and if the answer is 'yes' then go with it!

<Snipped quote by Tesserach>

Looks fine but can I recommend you change that 'specialty' to artifice? I set up the 'specialities' so you get some extra spells depending upon what you pick.

@Dyelli Beybi

That was what I was going for just being more specific. Editing.
