Well shit.

My dreams in banging a Naracuga will never become true.

Granblue Fantasy: Rhapsody in Red

Sid Lofton

Appearance

Name: Sid Lofton

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Race: Erune

Element: Wind

Dream: Take back The Sunrise Bounty, then use it to claim the riches of Estalucia.

Home: The Sunrise Bounty. A Galleon style ship suspended by a large white balloon with a skull and crossbones painted on either side. Commanded by Captain Dawn Tydes this notorious pirate ship has terrorized the skies of tyragrande for years. At least, that’s what most people in the inner islands believe. In reality the crew of The Sunrise Bounty acted more like Robin Hood and his merry men. They would target ships or supply lines of highclass islands, then find an island or town in need and give their haul to the local populace boosting their economy. Sure they would keep some for themselves, but a pirates gotta make a living, right?

Gimmicks: Well versed in Kusarigamajutsu as well as basic wind magic, Sid’s style of fighting focuses on keeping his opponents off balance and at a manageable distance while he dances around them. He can create gusts of wind by swinging the ball and chain to push his enemies around. Then when he has a clear chance, he strikes quickly to disarm or bring them down and use the kama to finish the job.

His air control doesn’t stop there, as Sid has excellent maneuverability in the air. He can perform a number of acrobatics as well as jump to extreme heights. If he needs extra leverage he will often use his Kusarigama as a grapple to swing or pull himself even higher. This is especially useful when he needs to close the distance on long range opponents or even escape a bad situation

Personality: To put it simply, Sid is optimistic and adventurous. He looks at every challenge with a big grin on his face no matter how dire. He can be a bit on the impulsive side. Rarely thinking ahead before jumping into things. But that doesn’t mean he won’t watch his step. He’s been in enough jams to make him cautious, just not enough to make him stop. People are a different story. Sid can be a bit too trusting, especially with those who claim to sail under a black flag. He was always taught about “honor among thieves” and does his best to live up to such creeds even if others don’t. The only exception to this would be to anyone who was once part of the Zweite navy. After what happened to him and his crew, he has a hard time even being around anyone associated with them.

When it comes to Sid’s mannerism. He could use an etiquette lesson or two… Maybe three. He doesn’t mean to come off as being rude or slobish, but being raised by pirates doesn’t exactly make for the tidiest or well mannered of folk.

Background: Sid’s life before piracy is all but a distant memory at this point. Maybe he was rescued by them, or maybe he was abducted or sold into them. Whatever the case, Sid found himself aboard The Sunrise Bounty at the ripe age of 5 working as a cabin boy. His duties consisted of mostly scrubbing the deck and maintaining the crews equipment. He didn’t mind the work too much, however, as the crew treated him well and would often regail him with stories of adventure on the high skies. This was especially true for the captain herself, a Draph by the name Dawn Tydes.

Tydes took a shine to Sid who in turn idolized the fearless swashbuckler. Taking him under her wing she began tutoring him in combat and skyfaring while Arlon the navigator taught him how to read and write. He took to the lessons quickly and by age 13 he was boarding ships and plundering loot like a real pirate. The crew saw him as one of their own, and Tydes saw a true successor to take up her mantle when the day came to hang up her coat. Of course she didn’t plan to retire until they succeeded in the ultimate quest; Finding Estalucia and taking all it’s vast riches.

But we don’t always get what we want.

A few days after he turned 18, the crew went after a small cargo ship. It wasn’t heavily guarded and was flying at a lower speed. An easy target. Almost too easy. Once they had caught and boarded the ship, they found it had been deserted, and the only cargo was black powder. It didn’t take a genius to realize it was a trap, but before the crew could escape, an entire Zweite Junta fleet descended upon them and opened fire on the cargo ship.

The ship exploded taking everyone aboard with it and leaving only a handful of the crew left. The Sunrise Bounty was heavily damaged as well making it impossible to escape. Knowing it was their last stand, Tydes lead Sid below deck claiming she had a plan to turn this around. She knew he would have stayed and fought to the end with her and everyone else, but she couldn’t let him die like this. So instead she shoved him into a lifeboat and sent him off to the nearest island. Once he was off the ship Tydes and the remaining crew put on a hell of a show distracting the Zweite navy long enough for Sid’s boat to escape.

For the next few years Sid wandered alone. He heard through the grapevine that the attack was a bloodbath with no survivors. Aimlessly he travelled hopping from ship to ship, island to island trying to find out what he would do in life. Until one fateful day he laid eyes on a sight that shook him to his very soul. It had a new paint job and it flew new flags, but it was unmistakably The Sunrise Bounty flying over head. He couldn’t believe it. Those Zweite Junta bastards had salvaged his ship and were now using it for who knows what!

Filled with rage and flooded with memories of every soul on that ship, Sid swore on Tydes’ name that he would retake The Sunrise Bounty and accomplish what she couldn’t.

Inventory: Kusarigama.
Knives in both boots.
Flask of rum (currently half full)

@The Irish Tree
Took a bit longer than expected thanks to my internet taking the day off, but it's finally done. Let me know if anything needs to be fixed or changed and I'll get right to it!

@Awesomoman64

Overall a really cool, nice character. I don't have any complaints, save for that if he IS Erune, since the picture doesn't show it, you should say what his ears resemble. Erunes can vary between Cats, Foxes, Dogs...even monkeys sometimes. For some reason. But pretty much any furred mammal is fair game. Pending that very minor nitpick, he's completely fine, and good to go.

Apologies, but you might have to wait a bit to post in the IC since the escape scene is still going on. I'm going to move everybody to the first island in my next post, which should be up by tonight.

Sorry Tree, but I've lost interest in this RP completely, and I honestly don't have the motivation to keep going. I would've told you this earlier, but things have cropped up here and there which take time away from my computer.

...

Feel free to write Satirra out however you want. I don't have any real preferences.

@AdmrlStalfos19

Its fine. I understand completely. Good luck with IRL stuff, Stalfos!

If you guys are still interested in the rp, please let me know. Otherwise I'll have to consider you guys as having dropped out.

Didn't use it for me ;～;

@Ammokkx

Your fault for not submitting your character like a real buckaroo. Now you're the odd man out, lacking any sippy juice. How's it feel Ammo? To be denied my succulent delicious juices?

You used that same image only a single page ago.

You're a sham. A shell of your former self.

@Ammokkx

I've used that image since page 1 of the rp. I hold more half elixirs than you shall ever know.

Oh great. I joined another cult. *sigh* I hope there's at least refreshments.

@Awesomoman64

We do. But only for successful applicants.

Magnus was taken by surprise, both by Yang's actions, and by her incredible strength to basically force him to a kneeling position. A warm hug was what met Magnus on the ground, and his eyes went wide. The warmth of someone...anyone, was the greatest feeling to him. Gently wrapping his arms around Yang for the moment, Magnus closed his eyes. The smell was different, as well as the size, but this sensation was just like when his oldest sister used to comfort him as a child. Yang's words drew his eyes back to her, pupils getting small as he realized how...isolated he'd made Yang feel.

Gulping as he heard her sniffle, Magnus clenched his fists, feeling terrible for not acknowledging how much this would hurt Yang as well. But, in a way, Magnus was glad that Yang hadn't gone up with him. He wasn't sure that anyone, regardless of skillet, could survive a fall from that height. Rising to his feet the minotaur felt like crying once again, before clapping his hands against his cheeks, putting red marks on them before he nodded. Steam billowed from his nostrils as he crouched low, charging forward towards Yang and grabbing her, tossing her overhead in a deft move, before catching her on his back, arms supporting her legs as he nodded, ears flapping up and down once. "Mm! I'll make sure of it! Kyle's dream won't die, if there's someone in the guild that knows how to make it reality," he said before starting to run forward, pushing himself physically to keep his emotions dampened a bit. This was also for Yang's sake...part of him wanted to return the favor for the hug, and as such, he did something his younger sisters loved doing with him; Minotaur Piggyback riding.

---

Letting Yang down by crouching once they reached the guild, Magnus flopped onto the ground panting with his belly up, having run a majority of the way there to keep the ride "fun" in his mind. While certainly a ridiculous idea, it was definitely a testament to Magnus' stamina that he ran such a distance carrying someone for so long at top speed. He took a second to compose himself a bit, before realizing that he was embarrassing himself in front of Bart and...someone who looked familiar. Scrambling over was his course of action, cheeks a bit red with embarrassment.

Magnus was almost startled by Ozzy's overabundant enthusiasm, timidly bowing his head as he spoke. "O-Oh, uh, Hello! I'm Magnus. Nice to get properly introduced to you, Mr. Skyway." he said, feeling like whatever an "anthropologist" was, it must have been a big deal. Was it like a president? A president of Anthros?

Bart's question of the job had Magnus at a loss for words, the minotaur sweating a bit before he hung his head and clenched his fists. "T-That um...Bart...it didn't work. The client he...h-he crashed. Is Talia still in her room?" he blurted out, feeling that Yang had been through enough today. As such, he unfortunately felt it would be best for him to break the news to her that Kyle was no longer with them.

A slight tilt is the only answer that Nephele initially gave at Talia's question of whether she'd had any "awkward" moments together with Neil. Rather bluntly, she'd respond further by saying: "He walked in on me bathing once a few days ago. However that was because he heard me trying to kill a cockroach." she explained, before trying to think of any more. There was that time that she'd awoken and had turned in her sleep enough to completely shed her coverings, leaving her bare in the morning...but it seemed Neil had slept in, facing away from her. As such, nothing else came to mind for her. She was more interested in Talia's life experiences, which brought a smile to her lips. "I see. I hope that your inventions succeed. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could I see you work sometime?"

The dragoness' ears perked up as she heard Neil's footsteps, as well as the one she presumed was a doctor. Making room for her, Nephele felt it might be best for her to step out for the moment, but was stopped by Neil suddenly apologizing. She was caught off guard by that, her owl-like ears twitching as she looked at him confused. "I-It is fine, but...I know less about this town than you do, regardless. I've spent my life living in an isolated cave, after all."

She was so caught up in Neil's apology, she scarcely had time to examine the mothwoman entering the wagon, which she presumed to be the doctor. Something felt...odd about her. Nothing more than a gut feeling, sure, but Nephele felt something familiar about her...like she'd met something like her before. Was it because she was friends with Maria? No...wait, that would be racist, wouldn't it?

She had no idea why, but Neil apologizing over this had her somewhat flustered...after all, he'd found a doctor. There was no need to apologize. She did however plant a palm on Neil's head and smiled at him. "You did well, Neil, finding a doctor so swiftly. I've never seen a mothwoman like her, though. Also, refrain from saying things like 'This world' in public. It might catch attention." she said, watching the wagon.

"...I hope that Talia will be fine."
