[hider=Ludivico Locche][img]http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/David_Palumbo_Art_Illustration_Moorland_Inquisitor.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Ludivico Nyambaya Locche [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 30 [b]Appearance:[/b] Lucky Locche does not have the physicality of a self-imposing man. He wouldn't have his average height and build any other way as he doesn't enjoy being a standout from the crowd. Underneath his long braided hair and scruffy beard are chiseled facial features and Asiatic brown eyes. So long as the weather permits it, Locche will wear a full leather wardrobe and sleek tricorn hat. Warmer climates will see him in a buccaneer's vest and slacks, though he prefers to add a long sleeve to cover the ink scribbled all over his upper body. [b]Bio:[/b] There's not much to say about Ludivico's upbringing. He was born on a hot summer day aboard a slaver's ship. Was his mother a slave, or was she the Captain's wife? Perhaps the makings of both. Ludivico could care less. The oldest memory he can conjure up is a giant hand grabbing him by the hair and chucking him out onto the sand. From that point on his custodians exchanged hands between wayfaring artisan types and mercantile travelers. None of which had the courage or patience to take him under their wing for long. At age 10 he was living on his own -- moving from city to city, pick pocketing his way into young adulthood where he attempted to slight a venerable pirate named Kaleem "The Falchion" Suleiman. Much to Ludivico's chagrin (and utmost fear of crossing a great pirate) he was applauded for his efforts and invited into Kaleem's cadre. Invite is a much more flowery word than what The Falchion used, as it involves choice, and young Locche was no longer entitled to such luxuries. At least for now. Fast forward 20 years worth of perilous squabbling and swashbuckling violence... Ludivico has become a sailing merchant of the Eastern Isles. His boat, The Vishanti, is a small brigantine style ship, sleek in design and a dream to handle. It was made out of the remaining pieces of Kaleem's boat that mysteriously found itself swept ashore six summers ago. To this day Ludivico hasn't found any clues regarding Captain Suleiman's disappearance, nor does he intend to go out of his way to conduct his own investigation. As The Falchion often said, [i]"Lives are but shit-stained seaweeds soaking in the ocean foam. Send them your best regards with an empty bottle and a belly full of rum, and hope their ghost doesn't come hauntin' for anything more than that."[/i] Locche is under a contracted partnership with the thieves guild. He sells weapons to rural areas and villages privy of rising beast attacks. He'll occasionally lend his services as a hired axe, usually for city folk traveling out into the coast for vacation. Very rarely does he fight for coin or hunt beasts - lest the money is too good to pass up. While the pay is decent, he has his sights set on more grander investments, as he's often seen rubbing elbows with all sorts of business folk nowadays. He hopes to catch wind of a golden opportunity that will grant him the comfortable boring life he so secretly desires. [b]Fighting Style:[/b] There is no name for the way he cuts men down. Some have called it chaotic. Messy. Yet in the eye of the tornado is a calculating fighter that demands swift death through unflinching violence. Unhindered by heavy armor, Ludivico is quick and agile, striking at a relentless pace with enough battle awareness to keep multiple targets at bay.
