”In a world without greed, us pirates would’ve been the heroes.”

General Information

Name: Erik (yeah, it’s only Erik)

Nicknames/Titles: ‘Shanks’, The Red Menace

Age: 28

Gender Male

Race: Estridian

Faith: Undefined

Height: 5'8”

Weight:: 68 kg

Occupation: Novice Mercenary, former pirate

Residence: The brig (no, really)

History and Advanced Info

Appearance: Erik is an Estridian man of short stature and possesses a fearsome yet casual air about him, as weird as that sounds. He appears like a normal salty sea-dog until you notice his missing left arm, a recent development. Except in the heat of battle, he will always be slouching or otherwise acting nonchalantly. His physique can be described as well-built and hardened; numerous scars and scratches mar his body as a result of brawls and battles from his piracy days. One scar he holds ‘dear’ is three slash marks that go through his left eye (fate seems to have a problem with his left). He never talks about it and probably never will, but it is certain they are scars that weigh on him greatly. True to his epithet, Erik sports natural red hair, medium-length and wavy, and has a stubble beard of the same color. His eyes are naturally blue as the sea he sails in, but his dabbling into Figment magic produces a Kuchikukan. He has a consistent outfit, consisting of a simple white shirt, brown trousers, straw sandals and a long, collared black cloak which for the most part covers that unattractive stump on his left side.

Personality: You’d expect a pirate like Erik to be rough and jaded with life, but not him. Not Erik. The man is very easy-going and laid-back, with an appreciation of life. His defining trait is optimism; the world, people, anything can change for the better. And unlike many other pirates, he is much more friendly towards others and a proponent of diplomacy whenever possible. He is known for talking the loot out of his victims instead of forcefully taking it from them. Absent is cruelty or bloodlust, replaced with compassion and ‘normal’ greed. Despite how simple he seems to be as a person, few can come to understand Erik’s true nature and the exact views he hold. He values freedom, valor and bravery, sure, but what else?

Combat/Magic Skills: For such a relatively young man, Erik is a proficient swordsman, handy on his trusty iron saber, and perhaps other weapons as well. Although some of his former skill has diminished ever since his left arm was taken from him by a so-called sea monster (he’s left-handed, after all). His swiftness is also nothing to be ignored. There is also his Figment magic. He is known for striking fear into the hearts of men with just a glance, even to the point of them outright passing out.

Relationships: He arrives here with no relations whatsoever, but his name is one of infamy amongst sailors, having been a part of Captain Ashura’s fleet.

History: Born in the sea to a couple of young salty sea-dogs, life on board a ship was pretty much the only life Erik knew. His childhood was that of swabbing the decks, powder-monkeying and cheering the crew up with his ape-like antics. One day, their ship came under attack by a much bigger and legendary vessel, the Devil’s Hoard, flagship of the notorious crew of Captain Ashura, Warlord of the Sea. Heavy losses were sustained, but Erik and his parents were among the survivors. As per usual, the surviving crew were assimilated into the Warlord’s fold and now began Erik’s path to infamy and fortune.

The crew of Ashura was based on experience and merit; the more battles you survived, the more respected you become. In that regard, Erik would regrettably surpass his parents who fell while combating privateers. Years on board the great crew embroiled him to become a fearsome buccaneer, with blinding dueling skills and an understanding of the fear-mongering Figment magic. Red hair and red eyes, Erik would forever be known as the Red Menace.

Come the age of 25, Erik would experience yet another turning point. On one seemingly quiet afternoon in the Valerian Seas, the Devil’s Hoard was beset upon by a mighty sea serpent, much more massive than any they’ve ever encountered! Magnificent combat ensued, many men were lost to the beast’s maws and Erik was unlucky enough to fall victim to its terrible bite. As those giant teeth closed around his side, brutally severing his left arm, the Red Menace could do nothing as he fell down into the deep dark beyond…

And then he woke up on a fishing boat. Rescued by kindly fishermen, they found Erik adrift, bleeding, handless and barely breathing. It was through sheer providence that they were able to save him in time. Though despite their kindness, they were still law-abiding citizens and settled to turn him in to the local lawgivers. He was still a wanted man, after all, with a sizable bounty. And so he was detained in the nearest port city, Umibe, where he would remain until he was granted amnesty in exchange for information about the whereabouts of a deadly pirate crew (that conveniently happened to rival Erik’s). Now he was free to do what he so wished, and that entailed finding a way back to his crew, but without any gold on his person, he will opt to bide his time in this city.
