[@Morose] thank you so much! Oh wow, a few things to fix. --For your reading/writing skill, please specify the language. (Sorry fixed.) --You're missing something under 'anything else.' (Did that change?) --For family history, you'll want to be a bit more specific about what happened between his mother and father. (Deliberately tried to keep it vague but hope that suffices.) --His history section is a bit choppy to read. Try and clean it up some, as well as elaborate more on what happened when his ship was captured by pirates. How did he end up in the Caribbean, for example, if his ship was captured on route to the Netherlands?

[b][color=goldenrod]Personality:[/color][/b] John Baynard comes from a lateral logical world of simple cause and effect. Everything happens for a reason and that which he cannot explain he leaves to his faith and in the hands of God. This had served him well in his professional career of medical diagnostics and treatment. He had proudly excelled at his studies where he began to realise he was quite smarter than the others. While somewhat lacking in social graces, his confidence, stature and reputable name made up for it. He is a patient man capable of breaking problems down in his head and methodically sorting through it. A heavy thinker he rarely acts too rashly. Committed to what ever he starts he will see it through to the end. Never content with being basic in skill or knowledge on a subject that he has given time, he will allocate his full devotion to it and seek it to understand it to its depths. Life would be simple if it were only this way, but it's not. In moments of silence or stillness and in his dreams he romanticises about love and literature. Religion and philosophy. Those subjects of which there is no true answer. He dreams of the intangible that he could no sooner explain than control. That is his connection to the arts of literature. As a boy he has always pushed and challenged himself. Believing to be an orphan raised in high society, he is thankful everyday and tried to prove himself / earn it. [b][color=goldenrod]Habits:[/color][/b] Nightly prayers. Rolling his eyes. Biting his fist when thinking.

Never met. A British natural philosopher and model of piety. Died of natural causes. Father: Name Unknown. Never met. An Irish drunk and criminal. Probably dead. Was in Anne's life for one passing night. Seemingly a soul to save he turned out to be rotten all the way through. Forcing himself on her and scaring her for life. Grandfather:[url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Baynard_(physician)] Edward Baynard[/url] Raised Jonathan after adopting him from the orphanage, soon after Annes death. An English physician and poet. Still alive and in London living in Ludgate hill. [b][color=goldenrod]Behind Your Name:[/color][/b] Jonathan's first name was given to him by his grandfather when he was put up for adoption. An on the spot name probably conceived due to his recent dealing with a Sir Jon Floyer. It wasn't until Jon was adopted did he get given his rightful family name. Still he thinks it an act of kindness that he forever holds dear. [b][color=goldenrod]History:[/color][/b] Conceived without love or permission. Jon's mother, Anne Baynard, was forced to hide her unwanted pregnancy out of shame and fear of the ramifications it would have on her status and families reputation. While no easy choice, the trauma of that one night caused by a drunken forceful Irish man, proved too much for her. Jonathan was abandoned to an orphanage shortly after his birth. Until the age of 6 he grew up with many other loveless children in a cold strict environment where he learnt to be silent, obedient and God fearing. Shortly after his sixth birthday his unknown mother passed away and his grandfather, consoling in his loss, came in to anonymously adopt his lost grandson. Jon still doesn't know they are actually family. Jonathan was put into schooling and in return spent his spare time helping Edward around the house and occasionally joining him on his daily duties. Edward was a kind and caring foster parent. To this day Jonathan still considers himself blessed for being given such a kind parent figure. Edward taught Jonathan much, and Jonathan drank it in like an eager sponge. Life was good. Jonathan went to school and studied hard. He never knew of the restrictions or perils of poverty, but he was raised well. Jonathan was compassionate, generous and charitable. Much like his mother. After basic schooling he followed in Edwards footsteps and became a licensed physician. During his young adult years he only held a few strong friendships that could withstand his often rash pleasantries and blunt honesty. Of those people one of them was Sarah. A life long friend from a social level a few rungs below himself. That didn't matter. They were in love. Committed to one another they tied the knot and Jonathan got married. They had just began trying for a child when Jonathan left to embark on a trip to the Netherlands to visit [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiden_University]the university of Leiden[/url] on behalf of Edward who had graduated there many years ago. Jonathan would never made it to his destination though. Having opted for speed over safety, with an urgency to return home, he ended up on a ship that fell victim to piracy on his way to the Netherlands. He still remembers that day vividly. His actions and decisions haunt him in his sleep. In the end only one person died out of a whole ship of twenty eight. Twenty six people carried on their journey, a bit shaken but alright. They even managed to hold onto their dignity and some of their belongings. Jonathan Baynard was not one of them. Twenty seven lives with goods valued at fifteen more, Jon had a debt of forty two sea faring souls to save before he would be set free. He had traded his services for the lives of the others. Now he works somewhat willingly upon the vessel saving the very people who were ready to kill him. It was at a port in Spain that he and much of the crew were transferred across to a larger ship. From there they went further south as did his hopes of going home. They were attacked by a navy vessel and forced to flee. While the altercation gave Jon much opportunity to recover his debt, their destination became clear. Jonathan was going to the Caribbean.
