@LostDestiny first mate and quartermaster have about the same level of authority, so how about I be the one that deals with the ship, and you deal with the crew?

Name: Xythaen

Age: Old

Sex: Male

Appearance:

Hider

As the picture is in black and white, I will use the mandatory text to describe his colouration. His skin is the colour of ash, and his hair as white as bone. His eyes are a solid green, like a pair of emeralds, and glow with an eldritch power. The clothes he wears are of a rich green hue, with golden ornamentation.

Personality: Called the God of Fate by his followers, Xythaen is a being who bends the world to suit his needs rather than the other way around. Morality is pointless to him, as casting your side to either good or evil limits the amount of influence you can wield upon the world. He sees open conflict as a last resort, usually preferring the political or mercantile approach to gaining strength. As a man, he tends to enjoy the finer things in life, and over time he has come to miss the luxuries that the modern world has to offer. He is usually calm and collected, almost terrifyingly so, rarely acting without thinking five steps ahead of the opponent. His calm demeanour is broken when unexpected occurences break his carefully established plans, forcing him to explode in a dark rage. Although he respects many of his more useful pawns, he trusts no one, knowing that today's ally could be tomorrow's enemy.

Thank you, our lord of eternal damnation.

@Ryteb PymeroceI'm going to tell you right now rather than tell you to go back and make the corrections you missed that I'm more than likely not going to accept this character because his backstory is just too unbelievable. It's so unbelievable that you even write "luck" but then you don't make "luck" a passive ability. You even have him survive off corpses at a young age without taking into consideration any diseases or plagues. It's just too unbelievable even though this is a fictional game, it just fits that one thing I said not to do. The back story is even exasperating to read.

@Holy Soldier

I guess I'll have to go back to square one, and redo the character completely. Sorry about the backstory, it's always been the part of the cs I struggle with most.

One Piece: On Stranger Tides

Might be biased, but I think Hunter would probably be the best first mate. Considering he's the navigator, he could take charge of the ship while Abigail is off with theach away crew.

Also we don't have a specialised swordsman, so there's that.

Updated my CS following your suggestions. I hope my backstory doesn't seem too angsty, I noticed the point in the rules about orphans.@Holy Soldier

Zane

Name: Lord Zane of Lychbaen

Titles/Honorifics: The Black Wolf, Lord of the Werewolves, the King’s Dog (insult)

Age: 27

Origin: Albion, a small country similar to England, save for they remained under anglo-saxon feudal law. The country is ruled by King Charles the Third, and the country’s chief export is war. The noble houses earn vast wealth by aiding other countries in struggles, using the poor as their weapons.

Profession: Knight
Hobby: It might seem strange, but Zane finds training enjoyable enough to do it as his hobby. When his body is too fatigued to train, he hones his mind by exploring texts on warfare and similar documents.

Gender: Male
Race: Human
Strengths: Zane is an expert soldier, and a fierce fighter. Even those who hate him cannot refute his prowess in battle. In addition to this, he is an expert strategist, able to attain victory where others would only find death. He is loyal to the men under his command, and his unit, named the Werewolves, was regarded as one of the most elite fighting forces in the world.
Weaknesses: Though his skills on land are numerous, his ability is almost non-existent when it comes to the seas, getting seasick almost as soon as he sets foot on a ship. In addition, his academic ability lies solely in the art of warfare, making him weak on the political and diplomatic parts of his job. The loss of the Werewolves has also hit him hard, as he considered many of them equal to brothers. He is heavily reliant upon his guardian spirit, deferring more to its wisdom rather than his own.

Height: 5’9”
Weight: 124lbs
Build: Muscular but slender, relying on skill rather than strength to fight.
Hair: Black
Eyes: Red
Skin: Caucasian
Handedness: Right

Scars: His body is covered in scars, mainly around his face and arms. A couple of large gashes are across his left eye, as if someone had clawed at it.
Tattoos: An ornate picture of a fox and wolf is upon his back.

Basic Description: If men are like sheep, then Zane is a wolf who is forced to fight other wolves. The nobility despise him because he is of low birth and has risen. The poor hate him because he serves the king. Yet the soldiers love him, as he is an uncompromising leader, who would defy the king himself to save his men.
Visual Description:

Hider

Disabilities: Left Eye missing

Primary Outfit: black plate mail, with a helm designed to resemble a wolf’s head. He also has a cloak made of wolf fur upon his back.
Secondary Outfit: A pair of black breeches

Most Prized Possession (Material Value): His longsword, Black Regalia
Most Prized Possession (Emotional Value): A carved effigy of a fox, from his home town.

Likes: Fighting, Strong Opponents, Learning
Dislikes: Alcohol, Politicians, Nobility
Purpose: Zane and his Werewolves were sent to the east to aid the J, though this was a ruse to get him killed. After being shipwrecked of the coast of Mahoushima, Zane and his remaining men have but one goal. Avenge their fallen comrades.

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship: Single
Family: Orphan, parents unknown, Darrack (sworn brother), Zamuri (sworn brother), Zel (sworn sister), the Werewolves (sworn brothers, mostly deceased)

Primary Weapon: [Black Regalia] – [Sword] – [A longsword made from the same dark metal as his armour. The hilt of his sword is coated in gold trim, and has a pattern similar to a couple of fighting.]

Secondary Weapon: [Morning Glory & Evening Splendour] – [Dual Blades] – [Morning Glory is a golden blade with sapphire ornamentation, and Evening Splendour is a silver blade with ruby ornamentation.]

Range: [Wolf Fang Crossbow] – [Gun] – [An ornate crossbow made from ivory and grey steel. It fires bolts, which have become more scarce in the era of the gun, as a flintlock rifle is easier to use and a bow is a more skilled weapon. Despite their rarity of ammo, the crossbow doesn’t require gunpowder which makes up for its lack of power.]

Guardian Spirit: [Ryteb] – [Fox] – [Fire] – [A cheeky spirit, one of the 22 guardian spirits that were in thrall to Alfred, the first king of Albion. Ryteb is known as a trickster who loves to play pranks on people, but has actually been protecting the Black Regalia for all that time.] – [Major Arcana- The Magician] – [The guardian is able to speak, and shares his vast knowledge with his host.]

Character Story: Zane was born into poverty, with not even a name to call his own. Barely a year after his birth, the local noble came through on an extensive ‘recruiting drive’, but the town refused, as they had suffered too many of these over the past year. Showing the absolute power of the nobility, his town was erased for the disobedience, and as a warning to anyone else who dared question the nobility.

The young child survived under the pile of corpses, the soldiers mistaking his slumbering form for a corpse. For a time, he survived off the corpses of the town, the soldiers of the noble having taken all other food. It was a testament to the young warrior’s luck, as well as his strength, that he managed to make it even to the age of five.

It is said that strife breeds growth, and no where was that more apparent than with Zane. Though he was but five, his body was of a youth of ten. It was then he attracted the attention of the wolves which roamed the forests around his homeland. Instead of fleeing, something inside made him challenge the wolves. The fight was without witness, but according to Zane it was the hardest he had ever faced. Were it again not for his luck, this would probably have been the end of this tale. As it was, Zane still lost his left eye in the encounter.

Fortunately for the sake of our story, Zane was rescued by the guardian spirit known as Ryteb. For these unknown woods housed a most precious treasure, the blade of King Alfred the Great himself – Black Regalia. Even though near 700 years had passed since its forging, the blade was still sharp, awaiting a warrior who could bring legend to the name. And after watching the child grow, Ryteb had decided that he should be the one to wield such a blade.

After scaring off the wolves, the fox appeared before Zane, and offered him protection in exchange for being his pupil. The child, graciously, accepted, and received his name.

Over the coming years, Ryteb didn’t just train Zane to be a mere soldier, but a Commander of men. The wolves who once threatened him were brought under his thrall, and made to be a staple of his Werewolves until the present day. By the time he was but fifteen, he already had a thousand men under his command. It was believed that he was going to rebel against the nobility and free the people. Then the opposite occurred.

Travelling to the capital, he swore fealty to the king, in exchange for lands and a title. He was named Lord of Lychbaen, a small village of no real value to the nobility. Via his training regime, and Ryteb’s knowledge, Lychbaen and the Werewolves became a sight to behold. Many of the nobles were jealous of Lychbaen, but were too afraid of Zane’s military might. By the time he was 25, even the king was starting to be wary of the threat the force proposed. So they planned a ruse to get him killed. Zane was ordered to sail to Japan, to aid in the war, but in actuality they had sent a message to the Japanese saying that Zane had gone rogue and was planning to attack them.

The Japanese attacked Zane’s ship of the coast of Mahoushima. Lacking any form of skill in naval combat, the Werewolves were all but eradicated. It was only by the quick thinking of Zel, one of his lieutenants, that even twenty of them survived. Upon the shores of the island, the remains of the the Werewolves made a promise. They would avenge their fallen brothers or die trying.

Replaced Living Ones with Occultists. I figured it fit in more with his persona, plus I can make minions with Necromancy, so what I need are intelligent pawns rather than strong ones.

One Piece: On Stranger Tides

Hunter's face was pale, hands still glued to the wheel. The wood was actually cracked from the strength of his grip. Although he had done his best, the overwhelming bad luck they received had turned what used to be a top of the line marine ship into a hunk of junk he wouldn't dare set foot on lest it crumble afore his weight.

Upon hearing his captain's jape, he released his handsword from the wheel. Blood dripped from his hands as he walked down the stairs. Although the ship was trashed, the island held the answers to . As long as he could remember, he could read the flow of the world. It was what made him an excellent navigator. And that flow was telling him that all they needed was on Shipwreck Isle.

"Well, things could be worse cap'n." Hunter said, tearing off a part of a ruined sail and using it to wrap his wounds, "Considering we ain't sinking, and the ship ain't falling ta bits. I suggest we start looking for some wood to repair the ship. A fair wind is finally blowing, and we should not let it turn sour upon us."

Soul Eater RP

Take 2. It took a while due to other stuff.

Zane

CS: Meister

Name: Zane Wulf

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Monster Animal (Wolf)

Appearance: Standing at 5’8 in his human form, Zane’s body is toned from constant training. His dark grey hair is naturally wild, due to his wolf side, but he keeps it relatively short to avoid problems in combat. His face is relatively handsome, though not to any excess, and is marred even more by a scar through his missing left eye. The remaining eye is a deep red, the colour of freshly spilled blood. He usually wears a simple black eyepatch to cover his missing eye. In terms of clothing, Zane is nearly always seen wearing his trademark black jacket, which has a deathly hourglass on the back. The shoulders of the jacket are plate pauldrons, made of a golden metal, and the jacket is inlined with scale mail. As for other clothes, he generally wears outfits that are easy to move around and fight in. Fashion doesn’t seem to be important to him. As a wolf, Zane is larger than most, his standing being closer to a noble hound than a feral beast. His left eye scar also marks him as more than the average wolf.

Abilities:
Knights Training: Zane is versed in the many weapon styles and traditions of Knights.
Wolf King: As a king among wolves, Zane possesses immense strength. Both in human form and wolf, his raw power cannot be compared to regular people. Though this is also the curse of the Wolf King, as the mix of human and wolf instincts drive them down the path of a Kishin.

Techniques:
Werewolf Strike: a powerful sword slash
Crescent Wave: a version of Werewolf Strike that sends out a shock wave that looks like a crescent moon.
Wolf King’s Rampage: Zane unleashes his feral side, attacking with an insane speed and power.
Lupine Eclipse (w/ Kronos): the Wolf King and his Clone attack together in human form, creating a whirlwind of death.

Equipment: A small knife, enhanced to do a moderate more damage than a regular blade, though no where near the level of a Demon Weapon, as well as a similar one-handed sword. He also carries a small buckler, made from the same material as his pauldrons.

Personality: Zane is a prideful person, from both being trained as a knight and from being a powerful wolf. Despite his animal nature, he is quite civilised and proper, acting according to the laws of chivalry. Though if one looks at it another way, it is more that he clings to these laws to stave off the beast within. In a battle, he allows a bit of his wolf side to spring forth, leading to a ferocious fighting style. But even in his wildest state, he still will not harm anyone close to him. His relationship with his partner is more like a rival than a friend, the two in a state of constant competition with each other.

History: Once in every hundred years, a Wolf King is born. This is not a cause for celebration though, as the creature is a fierce beast. Cunning as a man, but with the ferocity of a wolf, they were a major target of the DWMA due to their tendency to walk down the path of the Kishin. From just a pup, the Wolf King who would be known as Zane was on the run from Meisters wanting his powerful soul. He actually lost his eye in one of the encounters.

As time passed, his hatred for humanity grew. He was close to actively walking down the devil’s path when he was saved by a man named Odin. Odin was an old Meister, who had retired from the role some years ago. His level of soul perception allowed him to see the true state of this Wolf King’s soul, and decided to embrace the poor beast rather than kill him. Doing so caused a change in the young wolf, and for the first time he transformed into a human. Odin was aghast, as this feared creature was but a child of barely five.

The old Meister took him in, and named this child Zane Wulf. Odin taught Zane the arts of chivalry, as a means of controlling the beast inside, and explained to the child why people were in fear of people like him. Hearing the truth of the reason behind the hunt, Zane’s anger dissipated, replaced with an admiration for the Meisters.

When he was 14, he entered the DWMA on the recommendation of his foster father. As a pure fighter and theorist, his talent was exceptional. Despite this, his unique soul wavelength made him incompatible with practically everyone in the academy, putting him in a state between EAT and NOT. He remained this way for 5 months, until he accidentally uncovered a dark plot.

From an unknown source, a mad scientist on the edge of the city had obtained samples of the Death Scythes, and was trying to create his own subservient clone. (See Kronos Backstory for more info on that). Zane was investigating some disappearances around the area when he too was captured. It wasn't one of his best days.

After the events, the two found they had compatability as Weapon and Meister, but their rivalry made the a running joke of the academy.

Kronos

CS: Weapon

Name: Kronos Wulf

Age: 3

Gender: Male

Species: Clone

Appearance: Kronos looks like Zane, save for having pure white hair, and both eyes, though they are yellow instead of red. Also, due to a hiccup in DNA he has wolf ears instead of human ones. He let’s his hair run wild, looking far more wolf like in appearance than Zane. For clothing, Kronos keeps it simple, wearing only a red vest, jeans, and steel toed boots, with spiked wristbands on his arm. His weapon form is a zweihander, a two-handed sword. It is silver in colour, and with a wide blade too heavy for most people to swing. The blade is decorated with wolf and lunar symbols, giving it a elegant look for such a brutish weapon.

Abilities: From Zane’s memories, Kronos has a vast knowledge of western martial arts, as well as being far stronger than a regular human. In addition, his normal senses are those of a wolf.

Techniques: Same as Zane

Equipment: Like Zane, Kronos also carries weapons, though he prefers a bastard sword and a mace.

Personality: While Zane serves the laws of chivalry, Kronos instead follows the ideal of justice. He is far more hot-headed than his partner, often getting himself into bad situations due to his personality. At the same time though, he often is seen to be the more caring one of the two, as he doesn’t have to constantly keep his emotions in check. The two of often butt heads, the subtle differences in their personality being far more inflammatory than polar opposites, but this dissonance creates a powerful melody when the two resonate.

History: On the outskirts of Death City, a mad scientist was conducting sinister experiments, hoping to recreate the power of the Death Scythes, for his own twisted ambitions. Utilising DNA gathered from the Death Scythes, he tried to create mindless clones that would follow his orders. However he could get the clones to stabilise. The clones needed to be spliced with non weapon DNA in order to survive. So the scientist began catching citizens of Death City in order to use them as fodder for his tests.

Zane, who had been as so far fighting without a Weapon, decided to investigate these disappearances but he himself ended up captured by one of the ‘successes’. Although it had worked to an extent, their bodies were abominations stuck between weapon and human. Knowing of Zane’s mastery of weaponry, the mad scientist decided to use Zane’s DNA to create a powerful servant. This proved to be his undoing, as Zane was a Wolf King. It was ironic really, the first true successful clone was what ended up killing the scientist. The frenzy of the Wolf King was deadly to everyone near him, so Zane knew he had to stop him.

Zane and Kronos fought against each other in the underground, the two being evenly matched despite the weapon DNA in Kronos. It was strange, until now he had never felt a resonance with anyone, but each time they clashed it was like an orchestra of the soul. In the feral state, Kronos lacked the skill Zane had, and he eventually took him down.

When the other DWMA members arrived after Zane called for a rescue, they wanted to dispose of the clone, but the student stood in front of his copy.
“This man is Kronos Wulf, and he is my brother.”
At these words, Kronos punched Zane in the back of the head. Apparently he’d rather die than be brother to an idiot like Zane. To the surprise of the people around, the usually stoic Zane returned the punch with interest, and the two got into a scrap.

When they came before Lord Death, he allowed Kronos to live, as he was no puppet and had his own will. He and Zane partnered up, becoming one of the most powerful, yet useless, pairs in the DWMA.

Nioh: A Feudal RP [Recruiting]

I'll make some changes to him then.

Would it be fair to say he got attacked off the coast of Mahoushima, and he's looking for the ship that killed 95% of his men?
