Here's a draft for Giraud the boatman, as edited by Giraud himself. I'm still deliberating whether or not he should have a multi-headed mutant dog named Cerberus. [hider=Giraud] Name: Giraud Age: [s]55[/s] 51 Appearance: Giraud is a rough-looking man with a full head of gray hair, a scraggy beard, and blue eyes. He walks with a limp due to an old leg injury, using a pole hook as a cane. Race: Caucasian Sex: Male Skills: Giraud is [s]an experienced fisherman and boatman[/s] the greatest fisherman and boatman in Far Harbor, having speared and hooked everything from salmon to Mirelurk [s]Kings[/s] Queens. He is also an adept mechanic and handyman, [s]having kept his boat, the [i]Lisette[/i], running for almost thirty years[/s] having completely rebuilt his ship, the Lisette, at least three times following its destruction. He is fairly fit and hardy of constitution for his age [s]despite his drinking habit[/s], but an old leg injury has left him unable to move quickly or nimbly. Personality: Friendly and lively [s]despite his age[/s], Giraud's fire has yet to dim. He is an opportunist, always [s]on the lookout for[/s] finding new opportunities for profit and trade. His most notable characteristic, and the one he is most well known for in Far Harbor, however, is his penchant for [s]telling tall tales, eagerly exaggerating and embellishing his admittedly not-unimpressive achievements[/s] telling completely true stories of the many accomplishments in his life. Weapons & armor/clothing: Giraud wears a longshoreman's outfit and hat and carries a double-barrel shotgun and a pole hook, which also serves as a walking cane. His ship, the [i]Lisette[/i], is further armed with a deck-mounted harpoon gun with a motorized winch. (Previous) Occupation(s): Once a fisherman, [s]heartbreaker[/s] lover, and hunter, now a fisherman, boatman, and prospective trader. Faction: Far Harbor. Sort of. [s]Backstory: For all his boasting, Giraud does not discuss much of his past. From his tall tales, however, the inhabitants of Far Harbor have pieced together that he was born and raised in Southwest Harbor, during a time when the fog had receded. He never married, but it is known that he loved a woman named Lisette, and has spent most of his life as a fisherman, trapper, and hunter. About ten years prior, he had an ill-fated close encounter with a Mirelurk Hunter that mangled his right leg, an injury that never properly healed and left him slow of gait, forcing him to focus less on hunting and more on fishing, where his hindered mobility is not an issue- and where his walking aid makes him even more capable.[/s] Giraud is a man shrouded in mystery, a seasoned veteran of the land who does not divulge his past easily. And it was a Fog Crawler that mangled his leg. [/hider] Edit: To be finalized at a later date...
