[color=gold][b]Brief Clothes Description:[/b][/color]
[indent ] [color=red]Aodh favors colors that evoke fire, he currently wears black boots and trousers with a long red coat with yellow and gold accents(like in the picture). Being a Djinn of fire, he tends to run hot and thus forgoes a shirt underneath his coat allowing his natural heat to keep him warm. If he does wear a shirt, he chooses light weight fabrics. The black gloves he wears protect his palms when manipulating the ropes on the ship and his jewelry is exclusively gold to show off his succus as a pirate. At his side he carries a scimitar, a curved dagger, and knife kept in his boot, all which have intricate and decorative golden hilts. [/color] [/indent]

[color=gold][b]Personality:[/b][/color] 
[indent] [color=red]Once Aodh is with a captain he respects his loyalty is deep, he will sail with that person and crew to the ends of the world, and so long as their judgement is sound, he doesn’t mind not mind facing hard times. Having faced hard times before he knows very well that the tides turn easily and in this respect he can be patient. There are few lines he won’t cross, and will freely voice his concerns, and any leader who asks him to go against his own code losses his respect. He walks the line between selflessness and selfishness, as pirate taking what he needs comes natural but he can also be generous towards others when he has something to spare. While cruelty is part of being a pirate, he is not unnecessarily cruel. He will not kill just for the killing but will be ruthless in battle when it’s called for. There is necessity to maintain one’s reputation for ferocity as a pirate, but Aodh looks for a way to balance this with abiding by his own moral code. Those who surrender are spared, prisoners are treated justly, and children and innocent women are never harmed by his hand. Although self-preservation is important to Aodh, he loathes cowardice, and protecting his captain and crew come before himself. 

Like many Djinn of fire, he is ruled by passion. Aodh has a quick and short temper but not every fight is too the death, he will not hesitate to engage those who anger him and being a pirate means that your life and livelihood depend on one’s reputation. Those who provoke him will feel his wrath and anyone who goes after the crew will see no mercy. He prefers to solve minor disputes with a fight but afterwards he gets over things quickly. In battle he gives himself over to ferocity, fighting for his life and the lives of those he sails with. His bravery comes from having already lived a number of years, and the belief that there is no better death than going out fighting. Aodh would rather fall in battle than be taken alive to face the noose. As Djinn his life is longer than most and patience comes easily to him but at the same time his passionate nature makes it more natural for him to act quickly. Without a leader Aodh follows his whims, doing whatever he first thinks of and fighting his way out when he has to, but with direction he can follow a plan and lie in wait. 

Coming from a more modest background formal education was not available to him, but what he has is a great deal of sailing experience. He picks things up quickly and his knowledge all comes from hands on experience which he views as more valuable than anything learned from books. Although he is charismatic, he is also a very divisive personality. Not everyone gets along with someone so fervent and prone to being hot headed. His energy level is almost always extremely high, when there is downtime from his own duties aboard the ship, he will find someone else who needs help with their work. At port he plays hard, finding himself drink, women, and gambling to keep his time occupied and very rarely takes time to truly rest. Aodh is quick to laugh or make a joke when the situation is appropriate, serious only when there is work that needs done or in tough battles. [/color][/indent]

[color=gold][b]History:[/b][/color]
[color=red]Born the youngest son of a pirate, a fire Djinn, and a bar maiden, an earth Djinn, Aodh inherited both his fathers love of adventure on the open seas and his mystical traits as a fire Djinn. Aodh’s fondest memories of his father were watching him leave for the seas and longing to be there with him. He dreamed of the adventure his father surely knew on the high seas, and listened with intensity to the stories his older brother and the other pirates that visited Sunken Reef Isle, the island he called home, would tell. They lived a modest but free life among the thieves and vagrants there, and Aodh new nothing but freedom for most of his childhood. His older brother, Callen, soon left home to join his father, a Quartermaster, as a cabin boy upon the Siren’s Embrace. His father ship was sailing close to home with a successful bounty before it was overtaken by a navy ship. His father died a pirates death at sea but his brother was captured by the navy and taken to Glasston to face trail. His mother, his sister, and Aodh, traveled to the large continent to plead for his brothers release and here Aodh got his first taste of what life was like under the rule of a king. 

His mother spent what little money they had trying to save his brothers life but despite her best efforts Callen was found guilty of piracy. His last memory of his brother was watching him hang through the spaces between his mother’s fingers as she tried to shield him from the image.  They then lacked the funds to return to their home and made due living in poverty on Glasston. It was here that Aodh believes his mother truly died of broken heart; after such a loss she was never the same person again. She worked in a brothel until illness took what was left of her life. Aodh survived by working as a kitchen boy and through theft, while sister married young to a local farmer. Unlike Aodh she chose an honest life, or a comfortable cage as he calls it, to avoid the wrath of the law. Eventually Aodh was caught stealing and sold into slavery as punishment. He bounced around for a while until being conscripted to a navy ship. At first he was excited to finally be on the seas as he had always dreamed but naval life was much harder for him than he had anticipated. 

Aodh’s adolescent frame was expected to do some of the most grueling work of the ship and when he found himself too weak from exhaustion he was beaten. Over time he strengthened, grew from a scrawny boy until and muscled young man from the hard labor until the day finally came when he was freed from his slavery. As pirates attacked the ship he used the first opportunity to turn against the navy that held him captive and join the pirates, proving that he was no naval dog when he killed the first mate of that naval ship himself, slicing his throat of the man who so often beat him, with a kitchen knife. When he introduced himself as the son of the pirate Ignatius Cyrus, this crew took him on as one of their own. 

Aboard a ship called the Howling Raider he finally learned what he needed to become an adapt sailor. Working hard in the kitchen as assistant to the cook, a job he loathed, but made sure to do well in order to gain respect as hard worker. Any free time he had was spent with the other sailors learning how their jobs were done so he could work his way out of the kitchen. The ships boatswain taught him much about sailing and navigation, the master gunner taught him the workings of the cannons and combat, and this ships captain showed him that there were some leaders out their who earned their position and respect. As fire Djinn he found himself suited to working with the cannons as a gunner. He bounced around to different crews when he could find a captain he respected for the next hundred plus years of his life. He watched as the ships and the weapons change and develop just as the rest of the world around him did. He saw the world through his travels and became a respected pirate in his own right, feeling like he had finally done enough to carry on his family name. He continues to yearn for adventure, seeking out anything that makes him feel most alive for he knows that a pirate's life is normally short and very few retire. [/color]
