A tall fellow of 6'2, at first glance Nolan could look intimidating. However, due to his warm smiles, he does not. Nolan is almost always smiling, and they're a tad too big for his face, making him seem like a gentle giant. Nolan has somewhat messy sandy brown hair and while he does his best to appear neat and tidy they almost always seem to stick up at the corners. The man's eyes are a light blue and are what most people call expressive. Nolan believes that the clothes do make the man and as result is mostly in ironed down long sleeved shirts, dark pantaloons and boots. He often wears a vest over his shirt, just to add a pinch of fancy. He wears his symbol as a pin on top of his vest pocket.

[b]Position:[/b] The cook

[b]Personality:[/b]

Hardworking and determined. Most think of Nolan as an ideal worker, he does what he has to do efficiently and with a smile. He's generally a nice guy who dreams big. However, he isn't a wide-eyed idealist and knows that one must work hard to get somewhere in life. The man practical and has a good head on his shoulders. Nolan is the sort of guy who would rather talk things out than butt heads with others. Most of the time, he tries to be the voice of reason that keeps people out of trouble.

Aside from being a peacekeeper Nolan is what most people call a gentle giant. He almost always has a smile on his face and can be a pretty chipper guy. He's the kind who tries not to complain to much, the sort of person who makes apple juice when life gives him lemons. He's a fun guy to be around when you're down in the dumps and while he won't do silly dances to make you feel better, he'll offer you a shoulder to lean on and maybe tell some jokes. Nolan looks out for the people who are important to him and tends to fuss over them when things go wrong. He's a mother duck kind of guy who worries about the silliest things. If you haven't had your lunch or if you've recently scraped your knee, expect this man to hover over you with creased eyebrows and a few soft-spoken retorts.

He tries not to worry, but can't help it. He's extremely protective over those who are younger than him and will make sure they are doing alright. He's pretty friendly but if you do something to get on his bad side expect some retorts or the cold shoulder.

[b]Special Skill:[/b] 

Nolan is a great cook, but fried calamari and salmon soup aside, he's pretty good with a gun and has an aim worth vouching for. The man is a bit clumsy on his feet, so don't expect him to do anything great with a sword, but lifting boxes and working on a vineyard during the earlier part of his life has given him stamina. Nolan can throw a very good punch though he has had no martial arts training whatsoever. His main skills are his strength and his exceptional aim.

[b]History:[/b]

The son of Maria and Caleb Fischer, Nolan's parents own a vineyard and a run a small tavern by one of the ports. Their tavern is call The Anchor and there they serve meals and sell their homemade wine. His dad works as a waiter and the cashier while his mother was in charge of all things food related. The business has provided for them for many years and has been their main source of income. 

Nolan is the oldest child, and has a sister who was born three years after and a brother who was born seven years after he was. He adores both his younger siblings and is very close to them. All three of them grew up in their little house (their house is on the second floor of the tavern) by the port and somewhere along the way Nolan fell in love with the sea. He would help pirates load their ship with cargo and would sometimes borrow tiny fishing boats so he could fish out in deeper waters. 

Everything about the ocean fascinated him and lured him in like a siren would an unsuspecting sailor.

However, he knew the life of a pirate wouldn't be the kind of life for him. Someone would have to take over The Anchor and as the oldest son, it would have to be him. Aside from that Nolan also met the love of his life by the port, a spunky girl named Annie who ran the bakery nearby. As much as he wanted to sail the seven seas, he also had a life he didn't want to give up. He thought things through for several months before finally making a decision. 

Nolan would see the world and sail the seas then he'd come back, marry Annie and give up on the ocean for good.

[b]Why did you become a pirate:[/b]

He joined the StarDusk pirates to fulfill his dream of travelling the world and sailing the seas. He hopes that if he goes to see what's out there his silly fantasies will quiet down and he can live a simple life by the port, one that will hopefully make his parents and Annie proud.
