Your character's full name: Herrick "Demon of the Great Sea"
Age: 38
Species: Stoat
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Evil
Appearance:
Age: 38
Species: Stoat
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Evil
Appearance:
Herrick is a tall and slightly muscular stoat. With dark blood red fur and orange/red eyes and many black pirate and corsair tattoos over his arms, chest, back and legs. He also suffers from the suction cup scars and puncture wound scars that cover his left leg, where patches of fur is missing. Giving him a slight limp as he walks or moves around. Though it does not really bother him that much at all.Belongings:
Wearing a black shirt with a coat made with the black, dark green and blood red skin of a rare species of vicious fish (Even known as a shark killer), two black pieces of cloth tied to his forearms, many gold paw and tail rings, black sea boots, a necklace that is lined with the tentacle hooks of a sea monster (large squid), golden earings on each ear, and finally. A large, golden crown that had points like coral with five very rare almost magically-seeming sunstones inserted in them. Each rare stone is orange, than red and than at the very center of each one, black. Making each one look like a horrible, glowing eye. Herrick looks every bit like a Pirate King.Job or Position:
Another symbolisation of his power as king is the sword he wields. Rulers and Emperors of the Far East had they're jian and katana, Kings and Queens of the Middle Kingdoms had the rapier and sabre, The Pharaohs and Lords of the Southern deserts have they're kapish and sickle sword, Creatures who ruled most of the Western Island had they're nicely decorated cutlasses and curved swords. He? He wielded a sword that would make any pirate turn green with envy. The Sword of The Pirate King! A weapon with a blade more wicked, more long and more lethal the any cutlass, scimitar or curved sword. A Menacing weapon that strikes fear in the hearts of beasts.
The most important thing he has though is of course. The huge 2nd-Rate Man Of War he has under his command as Captain.
Pirate King of TerramortPersonality:
One word: Evil. He had little to no mercy for anybeast and is cruel and wicked to the bone. Knowing nothing about remorse, pity or kindness. Herrick is a horrible selfish bastard who treats the pirates that serve him like fodder to feed the sharks and worms. Though of course most pirates are used to that. No different from they're own captains.History and Background Information:
Herrick is nothing but greedy and power hungry. Wanting all the seas and island for himself and nothing but himself. Although despite his obvious evilness. He CAN play the game of charmer, sweet talker and manipulative liar and backstabber if it is needed.
No one knows about his childhood or how he managed to snag a man of war, but he started his life at sea at a young age as a whaler. Killing whales and taking they're oil for lamps and the such. A Job he loved doing due to his cruel and unmerciful nature. One day though, he made the mistake at taking a shot at a sea monster known as a giant squid. (This one compared to other though was quite massive.) This monster managed to snag his left leg in a tentacle, dig it's hooks into him and nearly jerk him off the ship and down below the waves with it. Although he managed to hack off the tentacle with his sword, he was left in horrible agony as his crew was forced to come to his aid and remove the limb from his leg, causing him to pass out from the pain.Any other details:
Herrick would never fully recover from the injury, it would leave him to forever feel minor pain in his left leg and walk with a slight limp, but none of these slowed him down at all. Deciding to use his ship they way it was "ment" to be built and used for. He went back to a life at sea. As a pirate!
Herrick destroyed coastal villages and settlements and raided them and sunk many fellow pirate and corsair ships, recruiting any survivors into his crew until he had well over three or four hundred of them on his ship. Sooner or later Herrick earned the feared nickname "Demon of the Great Sea" and was rumored to be feared even by the Emperor of Sampetra and the King and Queen of Tarramort. He may have sunk over a hundred ships during his lifetime as a pirate at the Great Sea.
Eventually, Herrick docked his ship at Terramort to challenge Rawnwave into sword-to-sword combat for the title "King of Pirates." Never knowing Rawnwave never survived his trip back to Terramort due to a storm. Instead. The stoat encounter his wife. Who due to paranoid insanity, mistook Herrick as the Rawnwave heir she was planning to have killed. She tried to surprise Herrick, but the bigger stoat overpowered and bested her in a duel. Killing her. Kicking her dead, disemboweled body down the stairs, blood and guts spilling on the floor. Herrick declared himself King of Pirates and waited for the day Rawnwave came back. So he may finally kill him and seal his position....
