"Everything is angles, Watch your angles."
Name: Carlos Cunningham
Alias(s): 'Crack Shot'
Age: 27
Height: 5'10
Weight: 170
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Reddish Brown
Crew Position:
MASTER AT ARMS
Physical Appearance:
Carlos has an average build for a man his age that is regularly involved in exercise, most of his body is toned and somewhat muscled. He also has a few scars around his shoulder and arm area. His face is handsome yet brooding and even terrifying at times, when he goes into focus his eyes have been said to 'be that of the devil' which he will always laugh off.
Attire:
Carlos wears a longcoat usually with large ruffles which he hides his arms underneath (this also make for an effective quickdraw). He usually wears black or grey with an assortment of silver chains and fine jewelry decorating his clothes. He will usually wear a shirt and waistcoat combo underneath and smart matching trousers and gold toe capped shoes. He is not fixed to one outfit though, he can also be seen in baggy pirate slacks and a tank top but he is never seen without his trademark tophat, which holds his goggles which he straps on during combat.
Personality:
There is nothing particularly complex about Carlos' personality, he is a fierce fighter, a logic thinker and in his downtime he is generally very calm and light hearted. During combat though, his competitive spirit gets awakened, especially during cannon warfare with other ships. He feels a direct challenge to his skills from the enemy to prove himself the best Master At Arms in the sky. He is also very loyal to established crew members, but distrusting of newer ones.
Weapons & Equipment:
Griffions dont actually have teeth, but Carlos was not aware of this when he designed these amazing shortsword/pistola combo weapons. Although he prefers shooting to fencing, these custom weapons allow him to do both when nessecary. He is competent with them as melee weapons but is absolutely devastating two fisted firepower. They operate similar to revolvers when fired. But with a bit less punch at extended range because of the design.
When he was at university, although he was studying engineering he couldn't tear himself away from the excitement of weapons. So he spent many a night skipping his written work to tinker with ballistics and gun parts. After 4 years of secret work on his project he crafted his own sniper rifle, the 'Long Game'
Shard Ability:
Unknown.
Carlos has no Idea if he has any shard ability or not. He's always felt his marksmanship and general spatial awareness is aided by some sort of otherworldly force. But he is logical enough to know this may just be what it is to have an innate talent. He has lived his life knowing he may very well not be special and has put a LOT of time into simply being the best gunner he possibly can. Training at every spare moment he can get.
Brief History:
Born on the Southern City Tower of Shoel to rocket scientists Jack Cunningham and Maria Morales, Carlos was expected from birth to follow the family business of engineering and propulsion. He was enrolled into the some of the best schools and engineering academies as a child and he did well to pick up a good understanding of mechanics. But this was not his passion, he was never excited by engines like his family was and he longed for something more. It was only when his class had a field trip to the Shoel shooting range to study ballistics he found his true calling: Guns.
Everything about the firing of a weapon, to the damage it could do to the science of aiming and physics fascinated Carlos, and from that age (15) became rebellious, he would buy guns illegally, he would shoot can targets outside the city, and regularly attend rifle tournaments. His rebellious streak spilled over into his education as he spent more time, designing weapons than doing schoolwork and eventually dropped out of the academy altogether. He now wanted a career where he would be able to shoot. So at age 18 he became a firing instructor at the Shoel shooting range, which was fun, but too restricted. His rebellion in school made him want to seek adventure, but he didn't want to be held back by the regulations of a police force or a city militia, he wanted freedom.
A few years later, one of the ammunition shipments which was being delivered to the shooting range was hijacked by a pirate ship. Carlos did his own investigation into the crime, and found out the attack was carried out by The Reapers faction. Carlos was fascinated by the very concept of a pirate faction, which instantly sparked his desire for adventure and freedom. But also his sense of right and wrong told him, that hijacking shipments to his very own city was not honorable, and he would never be involved with a group like that.
But through that indecent, Carlos studied more and more about pirates and got to learn much about rouge ships and legendary figures. Through some highly informed but secret contacts that Carlos knew from his shooting community, he was able to discover that one such pirate, Captain Fletcher Payne was visiting his town of Shoel. Carlos who was nearly the same age as the young captain at age 22, immediately tracked him down and made him an offer.
I'll never ask for coin, or favor. Keep me alive and keep me from being bored and you'll have my guns at your side, for the rest of your life.
6 years later and the rest is history, Carlos Cunningham is the Master At Arms aboard the Ocean Horizon.
Relationships:
Fletcher G Payne:
After reading about Fletcher, Carlos already had immense respect for him, to accomplish so much at his age. After meet and knowing the young captain for a long time has only served to cement his admiration for him. Carlos serves at Fletcher's side with quiet respect. Because the Captain held up his end of the bargain for the last 5 years; Carlos has never been bored and he has been kept alive. And for making Carlos' dreams of adventure come through, he is fiercely loyal to the Captain and to the ideals of the Shardseekers.
Petros Avakian:
Simply put, Carlos doesn't trust this handsome stranger. A fairly new recruit who seems very mysterious has Carlos on edge about his true motivations. He remains professional, but acts coldly towards Petros and becomes more fiercely protective of the captain and of the crew in general. He also is mildly jealous of the young man's skill with the bow and fears that his marksmanship will one day overtake his own.
Aloysius Poole
Carlos joined the shardseekers while Poole was still alive, and during this time Carlos was fairly indifferent to the man, not really feeling strongly any way about him, Just acknowledging his position as a veteran pirate. But after Poole was killed and subsequently revived, Carlos started to respect the man a whole lot more, to come back from death and still be as loyal to the shardseekers as he was before was a show of honor that Carlos didn't even consider possible before. Carlos looks up to Poole and the two share an interest in rifles which leads to them training together occasionally on aim and angles with firearms.
I've added relationships to the approved characters (with more to come as more are approved) If you or anyone else ive mentioned in relationships would like me to change anything then please let me know and I'll edit accordingly.

They operate similar to revolvers when fired. But with a bit less punch at extended range because of the design.
This was the most expensive weapon at the Shoel Shooting range, and Carlos spent all of his coin on it before leaving with Fletcher on the Ocean Horizon. It functions as high calibre repeater with a large magazine, which is very useful for mid range combat. The shells are expensive and the gun is difficult to maintain but the firepower of this gun is immense. A full magazine can easily punch several holes in a small boat at the right range and cause it to sink. Carlos has had to do a lot of physical training not to be completely chewed up by the weapon's kickback, but the weapon is still a chore to fire.
