Age: 30
Pronoun: they/them
Timezone: AST
Current Characters: N/A
Character Name: Captain Fabian
Character Canon: Original
Canon Point: The end of the history on his info post (just after losing it all)
Age: 27
Crime:
Note: Fabian hasn’t been convicted of any of these crimes, but he’s Wanted with a high price on his head. He’s slippery, but he knew it was only a matter of time before he’d be captured and executed.
Piracy- He’s a pirate. That’s his whole deal.
High treason- For attacking the navy ships of his own country.
Grand larceny- For stealing ships and precious cargo.
Pickpocketing- Just for funsies when he’s on land. Especially when he sees something shiny.
Sodomy- Fabian has sex with men and women. Homosexuality is outlawed in his time period/area of the world. He does not fuck animals, for the record.
Murder- Can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs amirite.
Stabbing- or stabbing a few eggs.
Public Disorder- He’s drunk a lot and gets into bar fights (usually because he was caught out for cheating at cards or dice)
Impersonation- Fabian is decent at illusions and disguise and often uses this to evade the law.
Vagrancy- Fabian was homeless for a time as a youth when he ran away from home, before he found his family at sea. At this time, he’d sleep in public and steal to survive.
Background: Fabian’s world is a lot like earth in size, and some parts of it have a similar history, but it is extremely diverse in terms of humanoid races, cultures, languages, and it has a lot of magic (loosely based on the D&D magic system). Fabian’s time period and area of the world draws inspiration from the golden age of piracy, around the 1700’s, and British colonization. His personal story can be found on his info page. More info about his world and other parts of his lore can be found in this google doc. Let me know if you need anything more!
Personality:
Fabian is a people person in every imaginable way. He’s bright, friendly and confident when meeting someone new. He's a shameless flirt, often falling into bed with men and women alike. He is a charmer, subtly manipulating people, acting in whatever way gets him into their good graces, their bed, or their wallet. He’s skilled in deception and illusion and uses this to steal from people or otherwise pull off heists and schemes.
He is impulsive and takes big risks for big rewards. He seeks thrills in life, adventurous and full of wanderlust. He hates routine, structure, and any environment with too many rules or restrictions. A free spirit. These are the primary reasons he originally ran away from home to become a pirate; his inherent nature was incompatible with the noble life laid out before him. He values freedom above all else, and abhors those who take away the freedom of others, which is why he often targets elves (who do a lot of slavery) in his piracy.
He can be a bit of a mess. He has a penchant for liquor and gambling and chaos, which can lead him to ruin, passed out in a random alley, getting his ass kicked, or being robbed. He’s absent-minded and disorganized when he isn’t trying hard to put his mind to a particular task (ADHD King), and is easily bored. When he's bored, he will make his own (stupid, risky) fun. He has a fairly silly, goofy sense of humor and loves to make himself the butt of the joke.
Despite this, he is far smarter than he seems. Though he can barely read and write, his street smarts and worldly experience more than make up for it. He can read people easily and is highly strategic, thinking big-picture to accomplish his goals. At 27, he’s experienced more than many people do in their whole lifetime, so he’s a jack-of-all-trades as a result. He’s a bit insecure about his lack of schooling (he dropped out when he was 13), so he tends to use formal language to make himself seem more book smart. Use bigger words and people will think you know what you're doing! And knowing what he's doing, or at least seeming like he does, is very important as a ship captain.
Fabian’s crew has shaped him deeply. As a family he found when he’d lost his own, he treasures their companionship and has an immense sense of responsibility to keep them safe and happy. Losing them will be a scar on his heart permanently, a grief he has not yet even begun to process.
Abilities:
Fabian’s abilities are similar enough to that of a D&D bard/rogue that I am just going to give him some bard spells for ease of explanation. Feel free to nerf him.
Bard stuff:
General vibes of the College of Eloquence, Fabian is persuasive and tends to inspire confidence in others. He can also play the lute and has a nice voice, though he’s more of a sea-shanties in the bar and bedtime-lullabies type of performer than one who actually takes the stage.
Spells:
Light
Minor Illusion
Prestidigitation
Charm Person
Detect Magic
Disguise Self
Healing Word
Shatter
Catnap
Major Image
Roguish Skills:
Proficient with shortswords, daggers, light crossbows, and longswords
High dex
Stealth
Lockpicking
Close and ranged combat
Merfolk Abilities:
Can shapeshift into a merman at will and can breathe underwater in this form. He has two mer-forms: one exceptionally beautiful with flowing red and gold fins, the other more monstrous with sharp claws and teeth, vicious. He can make his voice incredibly alluring and hard to resist, siren-like.
Samples:
Note: I was going based on the inventory information in the application, which had said 1-2 items from home, so I wrote Fabian’s knife into some of his threads on the TDM. I’ve nixed this going forward.
