@Morose XD

To kill him or not to kill him, that is the question.

Edgard

[mnkee]

Easily the best part. LOL!

The rest of the crew looked downright terrified, as if they had just pissed themselves after watching that entire debacle.

@Morose

[mnkee]

@Morose I have a question. Can Sirena and the little girl get to the ship unscathed, or do I need a roll for that? Also, is Alice Blackwood still talking/arguing with Harlianne? Just wanted to know so I can work up a post for here.

[Morose]

@mnkee Yes, you can get there just fine. Harlianne is still there arguing with Alice. However, that gentleman that Harlianne called over? That's Harlianne's ex-beau. Sirena will recognize him.

Fun loving * Manipulative * Alert * Selfish * Brave * Flirtatious

Sexuality: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Single (and always looking ;D)
Personality: Isaac has no problem taking what he feels like he is owed. He doesn't believe in "friends" as he was taught from a young age that he couldn't trust anyone. His parents abandoned him on the street at 5 years old. The man who taught him thievery tried to sell him into slavery. The only people he ever thought he could trust betrayed him. Rather than holding a grudge and becoming sullen over this, he came to the conclusion that it was simply human nature. He decided to use other people's greed to his advantage and learned to manipulate their emotions.

He feels empty and unfulfilled by his lifestyle however, and this makes him want to bed all of his targets. This his led to some big scores for him, and he has found it to be useful. He was made fun of when he was in his early teens for having no limits on who he would attempt to court, but the other thieves around him quickly stopped when he began making more money than any of them, causing his ego to gain a massive boost. He considers himself nigh irresistible because of this.

History

Family History: Isaac's parents are dead. They left him on the streets at 5 years old because they couldn't take care of another child. When he was 12, he was taken to their home. It had been burned to the ground and his parents were found inside. He has an older brother named Michael who had aspirations of joining the Royal Navy. They last saw each other when Isaac was 14 and Michael was 15. Michael told Isaac that he would hunt him down should they ever meet again, as criminals must be detained at all costs.

Behind Your Name: Isaac chose to take on the surname of Armistead when his brother threatened his life. The name means "hermit" and he felt that would fit well being that he was alone. He felt that isolating himself in name, would help him isolate himself from the life his brother leads.

History: Isaac has fought for everything he has, and everything he wants. He doesn't let something like "morals" get in the way. He picked his first pocket at the age of 6. By 12 he was committing armed robbery. He would steal from the middle class for the most part. The high class knew better, and the low class had nothing of value. His mentor quickly taught him how to lower the guard of a woman however.

At 14 years old, he had learned to seduce both men and women with relative ease. They were mostly of the lower class to start with, but some had a few valuables in their homes he'd take with him. After his brother threatened his life, Isaac began to focus on the art of seducing people to get their guards down. This also became useful after his mentor taught him how to play cards. Of course, after a particularly good score, his mentor beat him unconscious and stole the goods and money from Isaac. Upons waking, a piece of paper lay beside him. It read: "I tried to tell you boy, no one can be trusted. Stay safe."

When he was 16 years old, he heard a rumor that a large shipment of spices and gold was coming into the port. When the ship arrived it was full of men, the sort of which he'd never seen. They appeared to be of the lower class, but they were comrades. This was something Isaac had never seen before. He followed their paths during the day until the men entered a tavern at night. It was there Isaac had his first glimpse of the pirate lifestyle.

When he turned 20, Isaac decided he was ready to try his hand at being a pirate. Thieving was a good way to stay off the streets, but there was far more to discover. Who knew what riches he could return with? He decided to befriend the pirates. He would go tavern hopping every night until he found one of them. Once he did, hed offer them a round of cards, and/or a drink and a chat. Eventually, he heard tales of adventures and treasures one could only imagine. So, he packed his bag, and began to search for a ship that would take him. Knowingly or not.

[Morose]

@Taro Missing something under the anything else. Also, the text color is rather hard to read -- please swap it out for another.

[Taro]

This wasn't supposed to exist

[Taro]

@Morose I'm sorry, I must have forgotten that in my exhaustion this morning. How is that? I hope the color is okay, but if not I can change it again

I also wasn't sure if we needed to name one that's fictional or not, so if I need to change that I can

[Morose]

@Taro Accepted. Move him on over to the CS tab. You'll need to have at least one relation to start off with. Since he's a pirate, I recommend knowing either Harlianne, Sirena, Anastasia, or Elissa. All of those characters have sailed as pirates before. However, you're able to have a relation with any active character. Just send the roleplayer a PM to discuss things. I'll bring your character in with this update (or the next one, if the relation hasn't been completed yet by then)

[Taro]

Sounds good. I will try to get that completed before I fall asleep tonight

[FantasyChic]

I wouldn't mind getting to know him *wink wink winkety wink*

[Morose]

@BlueSky44: Day 6!

[Morose]

@FantasyChic: Day 5!

@Taro: Your character will be brought in with the next update. ^^

[Taro]

Awesome. Thank you

[FantasyChic]

I just got home with a huge headache. I'll post when I get home tomorrow afternoon

[Morose]

@FantasyChic Kay, day 6.
