One the other hand, he'd rather not be approached, especially by those he doesn't know well. As the First Mate, there is only one person for him to truly answer to, and he knows this well. Malek may seem to be a bully or just an asshole most of the time to the people that don’t know him well, but he generally enjoys the company of his crew. He mostly acts aggressively to offset his passive ability, Charm. Malek will do whatever he can to save others, but he knows what it means to have to lose people and won’t waste his life attempting to defy that fact. When it comes to confrontations, Malek initially takes an aggressive approach. One of two things will happen after this. Malek will either keep his chest puffed up or he will attempt to use his charm to turn things in his favor. This all depends on his mood at the moment and if he needs the other person to actually cooperate with him. As aggressive as Malek can be, the man has patience. It’s probably one of his few genuinely redeeming qualities outside of his loyalty. Malek can be brave but knows if he needs to flee. Cowards get the chance to be brave on another day. Because he quickly analyzes whether he needs to fight or flee, he is rarely seen in a nervous state. In dire situations, Malek reacts quicker than most. His ability to charm lacks any combat capability, so he must rely on his own physical prowess which includes having good reflexes. ⋆ Intelligence level: Not the smartest tool in the tool shed. Sometimes suggests things that simply won’t work or don’t make sense. ⋆ Charisma level: Even without his ability, Malek has a silver tongue. He uses both charm and a bit of intimidation to get the results he wants. ⋆ Sense of humor or no sense of humor: Malek only jokes with those he’s close to. Attempting to make Malek laugh without him knowing you only has a 5% chance of working. ⋆ Malek is completely sane… according to himself. ⋆ Energy levels: Malek is perceived to have high energy levels. You can simply tell when he opens his mouth to speak.

No.[/indent] [color=silver][b]History:[/b][/color] Malek Teosi was born a bastard. His mother, Navina, a Dark Elf maiden who had fancied a human man that made his living studying the world and the minute details of other cultures. During his stay in the far east of Glasston, in a predominantly Dark Elf settlement, he and Navina conceived Malek. Whether or not this conception came about from love, what followed was a harsh life for an unwelcomed child. The rest of Navina’s family were against the idea of having a halfbreed in their bloodline, let alone growing up in the village where he would eventually spread his undesirable genes. As a child, Malek could never understand, and sadly his mother kept him from just that. Confused and shunned, Malek found himself in a room alone during the early parts of his childhood. Malek couldn’t tell you when, but he knew the “what” of the day everything changed. A merchant ship took him away. And he was taken away from what he thought was a loving family in naive heart. Again, he didn’t understand. He was made to do chores on the merchant ship to be of use. The crew on the ship took a bit of a liking to him, despite their opinions on halfbreeds. Within several weeks, Malek had eventually grasped what had happened to him. How he had been unwanted and sold to the first merchant ship that would stop at the Dark Elf settlement. One day, the merchant ship was held up by pirates who wanted everything worth anything on the ship. This included Malek. Lastly, they took the lives of the merchants. Though saddened by the loss, this was just another family gone and new one to be gained. Just like the merchants, the pirates began to like the young halfbreed. This time, it took less time. Within days, they were telling him about how they were going to ransack a settlement that had been hit with a hurricane. No survivors among the people there. And among the people there, were his first family. All dead, and he even got to see it with his own eyes. The bodies were drowned and scattered, but the pirates moved through as if the bodies were simple debris. He was supposed to feel sad, but he remembered what it was like to live in this settlement, and to him, the Dark Elves here got the chance to feel physically how they had treated him emotionally. Confused and struggling to understand how and why they could deserve something so miserable. He had found his family, and though they were some of the most dastardly individuals he had ever met, he grew to enjoy their company. The seemingly kind merchants from before had already left his thoughts as he figured they only sought to sell him and treated as such. The pirates of this beautiful ship on the other hand actually spoke to him. They told their tales and included him some of their fun if it was appropriate for him. They gave him a new name to live by, his own name, Malek Silverblood. The name came from his heritage, they said he acted like any other human, and he just had that silver blood in him that made him look like a full-blown dark elf. The boy grew to love the crew and the ship during his years of pirating and the crew loved him back. Malek loved his true family, he loved the crew of the Mermaid’s Fortune.
