Mama Scarface (Finished)

[Hans Vermeer (Cole)]

Your character's full name: Mama Scarface
Age: 60
Species: Monitor Lizard
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Neutral
Appearance:

Reptiles often don't have anything beautiful or pretty about them. Mama Scarface is without a doubt no exception. She was far from the word pretty. On the right side of her. She looks like a huge monitor lizard with a head that slightly bigger than normal, stronger jaws and sharper teeth, a long, thick and powerful tail that acts as a lethal whip and finally, big claws used for ripping pray to pieces. On the left side of her face however, is a scarred and mangled mess! The flesh is mangled, burned and crisscrossed with small scars, literally scar on scar on scar and on scar to make a thick, ugly and leathery hide, but the thing that sticks out most is the deep, long and wide scar that runs down from the top of her head, through her eye, (blinding and closing it permanently) and ending at the lower jaw.

Most beasts when they reach they're 50's and 60's tend to look so with frail, weak structure and screaming joints and aching slowness, but Mama Scarface is something most of those old beasts are NOT! She is a REPTILE! A creature that will very slowly, but surely continue to grow in both body and strength throughout her entire lifespan. She will never end up looking like the old coots you see in Redwall Abbey with canes. She'll always be the same old monitor lizard she had always been. Big, powerful and meaner than a sack of adders.

Belongings:

She possesses her teeth, her tail, her claws and of course. The Title of "Biggest Monitor in Sampetra." Does she need more for weapons? Well..... Being a dock worker. It requires her to at least have a dagger of some short with her to use. Though this long curved dagger has a history.... and it's not hers.

She sometimes may wear a dirty shirt and belt or something but other than that. It really depends on whether she cares or not.

Job or Position:

Mother and Dock Worker from time to time.

Personality:

Personality. Yeah like she is really a hidden jewel in that department.

Mama Scarface is usually the LAST beast you even want to talk to. The only thing that sets her apart from most monitors is the fact that she will not automatically ignore or eat you when you do try to talk to her. Instead. You are greeted with a mean, hissing attitude and lots of rude questions like "What the hellgatez do you want!?" and also "Why the Hellgatez do you dizturb me!?" This is were you may start to realize that your screwed up in your choice of beasts to talk to and should leave the area immediately before she changes her mind and DOES decide to eat you.

Being a mother of plenty of children, she was never really much of a mother. Equally rude, cruelly honest, tough loving, and finally a bit of a perfectionist. She was more of a cruel tyrant or gang leader than a mother. But she did truly care for her children and was extremely protective of them when they are young. A fact that had caused the horrible, painful, bloody and untimely deaths of corsairs, other monitors and even a few of Moll's Dock and Town Patrol and Drask's soldiers who had choose the wrong time to smack one of her children around within her hearing and seeing range...

History and Background Information:

Mama Scarface was hatched of course on Sampetra. Like almost all monitors. Growing up was like any other life of a growing monitor trying to reach adulthood. Growing, learning, trying to survive other monitors and hateful pirates. Scarface was in short. A nobody monitor who no one really cared about. Hell most monitor siblings and parents separate as soon as they are laid and hatched. So no one really knows her birth name and no one knows her childhood much. Only herself.

It's unknown when she started to have children and raise them, but it likely started when she was quite young. For there are plenty of older monitors that may be her first, second and third clutch of sons and daughters. Although she was not the perfect mother and certainly not the kindest one. She did, unlike most monitor mothers, protect them from both monitor and corsair alike.

If she had a single famous moment in her life that gave her the fearsome reputation she has now. It was the time she nearly killed General Drask Darkfang with her bare hands and claws. Well..... Back than he was not a general, more like a young, cocky corsair like any other sea vermin. Though it is still quite an amazing feat to attempt to kill a member of the long feared and respected Darkfangs!

How did the story go really? If you asked about five different corsairs and other sea vermin. They would often exaggerate and tale many different versions of it, but all monitors tale only one version. The real story of the lizard who nearly killed the Darkfang.

It started normally like any other day at one of the many pirate taverns on Sampetra. Pirates and searats were coming in to get drunk, eat and at some taverns. Even have sex with the local prostitutes. Drask came back from a week of raiding and apparently was very successful and in a good mood because he had offered to buy drinks for his entire crew, Scarface had came back from a long day's work at the docks and decided to get a drink of cheap, bad tasting yet filling, seaweed grog before she went off to buy some things for her children and go home.

One of her younger children. A monitor of no more than 14 maybe 16 years old. Unfortunately served Drask a glass of seaweed grog by mistake. Getting two different orders mixed up and wrong. This caused the young pirate to reward the monitor child for his mistake with a knock out punch to the face.

Scarface, who just happen to witness the event, didn't like what she saw. This caused the monitor mother to go into her blood thirsty rages and dispite the face Drask had his crew along with him. She charged and attacked him. catching the ferret once across his body with her claws and grabbing and lifting him off the ground with the other clawed hand.

I bet your wondering.... "This Is where Drask's crew comes in to help right?" Well... They tried, but if you know anything about pirate and searat taverns and bars. It's that even one little fight or disagreement can cause complete chaos all around!

So the minute Drask struck the monitor child and Scarface attacked him. Suddenly the entire tavern became one big free for all! Drask's crew tried to come save him, but they ended up forced to beat up or be beaten up by punch-happy pirates and searats they didn't even know about!

Anyway. Scarface had the ferret in a death grip, closing his windpipe and veins, therefore cutting off his blood and air supply to his head and was close to snapping his neck too when Drask suddenly pulled a long, curved dagger out and in a desperate attempt to survive, tried to stab her through the skull and kill her. Unfortunately he missed and gave her a deep slash that blinded and closed her left eye. The second stab he made got the dagger stuck in one of her forearms, causing her to drop him in pain.

In the chaos of the tavern. Drask managed to escape with his life. This event would lead to his prejudice and hatred against monitors..... and a long living fear of the only creature that was closest to ever killing him.

Ever since. The monitor mother had never forgotten him and had always kept his long curved dagger with her. In hopes of maybe someday in her lifespan, be able to "give back" the ferret's blade....

The mother monitor lived her life to old age, having many children that had grown up and left her.... Well not really. You can't really leave your own mother when your stuck on a island. Unless you snuck off with Richard when he made his trip to Sampetra, finally leaving after he slipped plenty of recruit pirates, searats and monitors right out from under Drask's nose.

Yep. Scarface had a mostly boring and not too important to mention life here on Sampetra. Only being know for being the biggest monitor to ever live on Sampetra and being one of the few to survive a encounter with Drask Darkfang....... and rarer still..... To nearly kill him.....

Any other details:

She has hatched a lot of children in her time. So it is highly possible she is Salvador's mother.
